I have a habit of opening multiple tabs on Firefox at once, then slowly browse through each tab at my own pace and leisure. So you can imagine my joy when I hear the Jonas Brothers in all their teeny-bopping glory blasting through my speakers suddenly after opening 15 or so new tabs. Do you have any idea how annoying it is to go through each tab, scroll up and down to find the tiny, nearly non-existent music player just so I can stop Nick, Joe, or Kevin from singing one more verse of “When You Look Me In The Eyes“.
Every time I find the culprit site, I have the mad urge to leave a comment on it saying “TAKE DOWN YOUR DAMN MUSIC PLAYER!” because honestly, no one cares. If I wanted to listen to music, I’ll listen to my OWN music, thank you very much. I don’t care if you think this one song is so awesome, I don’t want that damn thing blasting through my speakers, scaring the begeezus out of me. Did it every occur to you, those of you who have one of these annoying players on your site, that your readers might already be perfectly content listening to music on their computers?
So my advice to you is this: take the music player off. Tada! Seriously, this isn’t rocket science. If people want to listen to that song, they’ll go listen to it, without you shoving it in their face, or in this case, their ears.
After the ordeal with my crazy ex-friend, I learned to appreciate my true friends a lot more. One specific friend was Joanne. We’ve been close since freshmen year in college, but starting last semester, when me and Melanie got close, I started drifting away from Joanne, since Melanie would want to spend every minute of her free time with me. I didn’t mind, because I knew she was going through a tough time and Joanne had other friends to keep her company, but then Melanie started bad mouthing Joanne, who I know she didn’t like, and sadly, it rubbed off on me. I started thinking that Joanne was all those bad things Melanie told me, and above all, “not cool enough” to hang out with the group. Joanne ended up confessing to another friend of ours how she was upset by all this, but to me, she would always put on a smiling face and be there for me when I talked to her, as if nothing was wrong.
I felt terrible about how I treated her when I found out about everything, especially when I ditched such an amazing friend for some psycho. I know if I had been in Joanne’s position, I certainly would’ve NOT been happy with me, but when I went crying to her about how Melanie betrayed me, Joanne still comforted me and stood by my side as if nothing had changed. Even when I apologized to her about how I’ve been acting, not once did she blame me or get mad, but instead, she was completely understanding.
I wanted to kick myself in the face after all this, that I had been so stupid and blind to mistake a bitch for a true friend and almost lost someone who actually cared about me. Now this is true friendship 
Ever since getting together with the boyfriend, I feel like I’ve seen more movies in 2 months than I have all of last year. As a matter of fact, I’ve seen so many that it wouldn’t be right unless I write a review about them. And since I no longer have the star rating plugin, I will rate them using smiley faces. Yay.
The Hangover – 
Just saw this last night, and it was fucking hilarious. Yes, so hilarious it required the need to cuss. Sorry kids, but this movie isn’t for you anyways. Back on topic: if you don’t mind seeing naked guys (and I’m talking um-I-see-his-ding-dongs naked) and you like crude humor (still humor, and pretty good stuff too), then go see this one. You won’t regret it.
UP –
Some people cried, a lot of people laughed, but all agree that this is a good movie. Classic Disney/Pixar film (think Wall-e and Finding Nemo), but a few complained about the non-kid-friendly theme in the film, aka death. I mean, it wasn’t anything gruesome or depressing, or at least I didn’t think so. For someone who cries easily, I didn’t get watery eyes at all during the film. I did laugh though, a LOT. Good stuff.
Star Trek – 
I hate the tv series, I hate sci-fi, but damn, this was a good movie. Maybe because I found the actor who played James Kirk extremely attractive? Who knows. But I know it was good because my friend, who hates sci-fi/action/technology things more than I do, thought it was good. I used in the ratings because it was such an epic film. Ha. But seriously, it was epic.
Angels & Demons –
If you’re into religion, mystery, with a bit of action, this is your film. It was pretty good, a lot better than The Da Vinci Code I thought. But then again, I never read the book for this film, so maybe that’s why? Either way, it was good enough to picque my interest in the book, and you can never go wrong with Tom Hanks. Except for The Da Vinci Code. Go read the book for that instead.
Paul Blart: Mall Cop – 
Oh my God, kill me. Watching this on DVD was the most unproductive and worthless 90 minutes of my life. That’s how bad this movie was. It wasn’t funny at all. As a matter of fact, it was kind of pathetic actually, like I felt sorry for the guy. But then I’m reminded of the fact that while he’s raking in loads of money for a bad film, I’m stuck watching this crap wanting to kill myself, and I began to feel sorry for myself.
