Exactly seven days from today I will be off to the city of lights! I can't wait to live in Europe for the next couple of months!

cupid's arrow.

So I totally forgot to post about when I went to Disneyland with my family. It was a blast! Can I say that Cars Land is exactly what's in the movie. The new California Adventure is a flashback into the 1920's, which was really fun. This trip was great because my brother's family was able to come with their two little boys, it was never a dull moment with my nephews. The only downside to our trip was that our hotel was about a mile away. After spending a whole day in the park walking and standing in line, it can wear you out, so walking back after that was not a sweet treat. Overall it was an awesome trip. Plus I met a couple from England that I chatted with, and a little girl and her aunt from Australia. I loved their accents. 

So...Back to the post. 

Remember how in the 80s people made videos of themselves to put on a video dating service? You know the cliche sayings to lure some girl, one pierced ear, great fashion and overall interesting guys. This rad video has the 80s written all over it. Cupid's arrow is a segment that was done on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon, who I have been kind of addicted to. And by addicted I mean obsessed. So let's take a blast to the past and enjoy the so called hip and funky of the 80s.

nope.

Epic fail on my part for not posting about new york. Just a brief summary, it was great! I went to see the classic tourist attractions: statue of liberty, ellis island, 9/11 memorial, empire state building, 5th avenue, fao Schwartz, central park, the met, soho, brooklyn, kleinfelds, little italy, chinatown, times square (our hotel was right off times square some great designers,  and amazing broadway plays (Phantom of the Opera, Wicked and Newsies). Newsies was absolutely the best! It was a great play that keep you intrigued the entire time, I didn't want to end! The dancers were unbelievable! It was a great experience that I can't wait to go back for more! 

So, back to the real post...my brother showed me this video the other day. The first video is a commercial, a real commercial that aired in California. You will understand why I had to repeat it once you watch the video. The second video is a, let's just say a remix. 

I will just leave the talking to Chuck Testa.

new york.

Tomorrow is an exciting day! I get to go to New York for the first time ever, and the east coast in general. I get to visit different designers, tour the big apple and get into the hustle and bustle of the city. 

Also we get to go see Wicked! More to come on my adventures in the concrete jungle when I come back. I can't wait to see what the city has to offer.

dance.

Dance Dares.

Ever heard of them? 

It's the new thing to do than scare someone. 

Here's a video of some that are rad and hilarious.

My favorite is the guy in walmart by the fishing poles. 

I know what I'll be doing soon.

Thanks to Ellen, I am hooked. 

I love Ellen.

top that.

 

Do you guys remember the movie Teen Witch?

It's pretty much like Sabrina the Teenage Witch, but was made in the 80s, which makes this movie all the better, because we all know that 80s movies were and still are prime. 

One, their acting was something. 

Two, anyone could rap even if you weren't that good, you still seemed awesome.

And three, of course the rad clothing they wore and funky their hair.

Plus check out their dancing, it's ridiculously cool.

Who wouldn't want to be as smooth as these guys.

Anyways, as I mentioned anyone can rap and you looked totally awesome. Here's a rap that they do in the movie, it's called "Top That."

I hope you can gain appreciation for my love of the 80s.

ps. if any of you watch 30 rock, Kenneth Parcell sings this on the show to fill the tv time, it's pretty funny.
