30 Day Music Challenge: Day 02

Your least favorite song: I don’t really have one of these. There are songs that I hear and go “WTH”, but then I never bother listening to them again so they don’t really stick in my mind. If I dislike a song I avoid it at all costs. The only song that comes to my mind right now that I dislike is “It Kills Me” by Melanie Fiona. I really like her and she has a great voice, but that song is trash. And the funny thing is that when you first hear it you don’t know it’s trash because her voice is so great and the melody is nice. But once you start hearing the words you can see how lame it actually is.

I couldn’t imagine singing something so pathetic. Lyrics like “I know you messin’ around, but who the hell else is gonna hold me down” makes this song lame to me. Who sings about knowing a man is cheating on them but still wanting to have their babies. Smh. And if he’s cheating on you, is he really holding you down? Such a waste of talent. The song is catchy though!

Outer Banks Dream Vacation!!

I’ve been saying for a while now that I could really use a vacation and after checking out this amazing house in North Carolina I’m in awe. The pictures of this house on the Carolina Designs’ website will truly make you wish you called that place home. I absolutely love the design of the house. It has an old country charm that you don’t find in many rental homes. I love the beautiful wood decor. It’s funny because If I owned a house like that I would use many of the same furniture pieces. The openness of the rooms are my favorite. Who wants to vacation in a cluttered space!

I also love the large pool. I can just imagine unwinding in that pool after the long and hot summer I’ve had. The only bad thing about staying in a place like that would be leaving! I would seriously have to consider moving to North Carolina after that. If I could stay in one of these Outer Banks vacation rentals I would take my mom and my Goddaughter with me. We’ve all had a pretty rough year so far and I couldn’t imagine a better place to relax and regroup right about now.

YouTube, We Have Issues!!

YouTube really gets on my nerves sometimes. Don’t get me wrong, I love the website and would never stop using it, but it’s just annoying lately. A few things have really been bothering me about the site recently. Firstly, I’m getting pretty sick of the advertisements at the top of the page and the ads that insist on starting before I watch a video. I do not want to wait 20 seconds to watch a video. Isn’t it enough that they stick ads at the bottom of the video and all over the page. You have to make me wait to view a video too? Smh.

Secondly, there’s the featured videos at the bottom of the page. Why can’t I disable that? I can disable other crap, why can’t I turn that off. I like that feature at times because it has introduced me to people I wouldn’t have been exposed to otherwise, but some of those videos are just strange.

Thirdly, I hate that new autoplay feature they have when you watch a video posted by someone you subscribe to. I don’t want the next video in my subscriptions playing automatically! Yes, they give you the ability to turn that off, but you have to turn it off every time you click a new video. That’s too much trouble.

Lastly, I want to always be able to remove the videos from my subscription list that I don’t want to view. That feature comes and goes as it pleases. Smh. Other than that, I love YouTube!!!

…And That’s Funny??

I’m really disgusted with the way that teenagers and young adults my age act. I was casually browsing a few Twitter and Tumblr pages today and some of the things that people find amusing are quite appalling to me. When did it become cool to make fun of dead people and domestic violence. I don’t get it. It’s not even that I felt so sorry for the people that were the subject of the mocking and ridicule. It was more the topic in general. Certain things are just wrong in my eyes. Even if a person is disliked or even if the person is lying… there are people who really have to deal with that every day and to mock it is just disgusting in my eyes. Call me sensitive or whatever, but I just don’t find some things funny.
