TAYLOR SWIFT TICKETS.

12:25 PM • • 2 comments

TUESDAY

2:00 am.
I taught my sister how to get into the Taylor Swift Fan Club Presale. My sister, Noreen, is a senior and stayed home during TAKS week. She would be able to purchase the tickets for me.

9:59 am.
I was nervous.

12:30 am.
I finally got my phone back. I turned it on. I had a text from Noreen: "i got tickets"

12:31 am.
"WWWOOOOOOOOAHAHAWLFLQWJKNHQWIPHWINHDQIPWHNI"

12:32 am.
I reply: "Where are the seats?"
She replies: "Arena. Section 40. Row 20"

12:33 am.
This is when I started to run around screaming, "I GOT TAYLOR SWIFT TICKETS, SUCKERRZZZ"




So~~

Anyone else get tickets? Today is the general sale, so everyone can purchase tickets. They went on sale at 10 am though, so you might want to hurry! (:

If you got tickets, post where your  seat is! We can like.. hang... and shtuff.....

...or not..? xD

Hunger Games! Outrage! And... my husband?

7:13 PM • • 8 comments

Meet my future husband, Callan McAuliffe

He's an Australian actor, recently seen in "I Am Number Four" and "Flipped".
He's sort of.... amazing (:

Anyways, for those of you who are fans of the "Hunger Games" book series, it's set to come out on the big screen March 23, 2012. When I heard this, I freaked out.

"CALLAN FOR PEETA! CALLAN FOR PEETA! CALLAN FOR PEETA!"
Those were the only words I could say for the following weeks. Imagine my distraught when I found out Josh Hutcherson was playing Peeta. Yes, the boy from "Bridge to Teribithia". Here's a nice picture of him.


Oh... wait a second.. WHY IS HE PLAYING PEETA?! HE LOOKS NOTHING LIKE PEETA. PEETA IS SUPPOSED TO LOOK LIKE THIS:


Blonde hair, pointed face, the whole shebang. The world went crazy. Fan pages, comment sections of news articles, etc were filled with "OH MY GOODNESS WHAT IS WRONG WITH THE CASTING DIRECTOR."

Moving on.
They also cast Gale (Katniss's other love interest). Who did they choose for the brown haired, brown eyed hunter that supported his large family since age 12? LIAM FREAKING HENSWORTH FROM "The Last Song" WITH MILEY CYRUS. Am I the only one confused here?!



And Katniss, the main character. Described as "olive skinned", "dark haired", and small/petite. Here's the lovely actor:

Sighh.... I give up. Katniss is a young hunter as well, not one of the more "sexy" tributes from District 2. She's a little girl! And here's what Katniss is supposed to look like:


Just one more thing....
Peeta and Katniss are supposed to be sixteen. SIXTEEN. I have no idea how they're going to pull that off (especially the girl actress, Jennifer). Gale is supposed to be eighteen.

I'm in a little bit of an outrage, though its a tad calmer now (:
The rest of the castings were good: age-appropriate, with correct skin/hair color, and with the acting chops (:

Sorry for the excessive use of images. I felt it'd put a better picture across if you could actually see the actors and the people they are playing.

So-- how do you feel about the casting? Are you as outraged as me? Think the actors can pull it off? Comment! (To comment, click the "** comments" under the title and scroll down).

Thanks guys, and talk to y'all later!

4/20 in music

11:39 AM • • 1 comments

A few days ago, 4/20 passed - the marijuana day.

Lots of artists talk about marijuana in our music today.

Wiz Khalifa, Lil Wayne, Kid Cudi, Birdman, Snoop Dogg and many other artists have songs including it, or songs all about it.

What are your thoughts about all the talk of it?

Explosions in the Sky - Take Care, Take Care, Take Care || Album Reviews

10:53 AM • • 2 comments

Explosions in the Sky, a local Austin band, has released its sixth and final album, Take Care, Take Care, Take Care. Gigging since 1999, the band has evolved their instrumental music since their first album How Strange, Innocence.


With international tours, and the exclusive rights to the Friday Night Lights soundtrack, Take Care, Take Care, Take Care is a great representation of the band. The three electric guitars create beautiful melodies, and Chris Hrasky's drumming brings the solid album together.

Happy Easter! (:

Happy Easter! Jesus defeated death and rose from the grave, giving us a chance to have a relationship with him and spend eternity in heaven (:

Enjoy this skit! It's called the "Everything" skit. It's super powerful.



Happy Day by Tim Hughes

The greatest day in history // Death is beaten, you have rescued me // Sing it out, Jesus is alive

Empty cross and empty grave // Life eternal, you have won the day // Shout it out, Jesus is alive // He's alive

Oh happy day, happy day // You wash my sin away // Oh happy day, happy day // I'll never be the same // Forever I am changed

When I stand in that place// Free at last, meeting face to face // I am Yours, Jesus you are mine

Endless joy and perfect peace // Earthly pain finally will cease // Celebrate, Jesus is alive // Yeah, He's alive

What is going on with everyone? How's life?

Everything at Aux Cable is going good, we're up and runnin' with our magazine. We're almost done with our feature stories, so, expect those soon. Anyway, I was walking around my neighborhood thinking about stuff; school, friends, family, how the second tissue comes up after you pull the first, and it then occurred to me that I needed a blog for today. I wasn't too sure of what I wanted to write about so I kept walking, and that's when the thought hit me. I saw some kids dancing and it reminded me of my favorite dancers (I'M NOT TALKING ABOUT those DANCERS, I mean legit dancers who dance in competitions) and they're music videos and how awesome they look. That's when I was like "You know what? Those dances are cool and they totally go with the song so I'm gonna go home and watch them cool vids (that's right, I said them, you mad???) and admire them. " But you know what you guys, a lot of American songs don't contain legit dancing, because artists don't do that here in America. Instead they run through glitter and/or wave their arms around in front of cameras, so I admired some of my favorie Korean videos with their complicated dancing and what not. 

First off, there's Mirotic by DBSK. 

Now, these guys might look weird from a Westerner's perspective, but this sells in Korea. So, onto the dance. THIS DANCE WRECKS. There's everything, foot work, hand motions, in sync moves. What's even greater is that even through these strenuous moves, they can still hit those notes live, which is amazing in comparison to the artists today that can't even hold the same pitch while walking on stage.


Second, there's Replay by SHINee (that's right, double 'e')

Never in my life have I been so jealous of people who can dance than when I watched this video. Honestly, the way they move across that floor, it's like they are gliding you guys. Gliding. It's interesting though, the way they portray the words (I'm talking about the English ones) in their dance. Especially the 'Replay~' part and they do the hand moves as if they were record players. The song is just a bonus too. Amazing.

Third, there's Neorego by Super Junior

Now, I'm not a big fan of Super Junior, but I really do like their choreography and their ability to stay in sync with each other even though they are a big group.

Then there's Wrong Number by DBSK

This dance is really good and the choreography fits the tone and feel of the song really well. Look at that fancy footwork! 
  
Lastly, Breathe by Miss A

A lot of the female dance groups do dances that aren't straining, but are sensual to match their image, but Miss A somehow do both at the same time. Their moves might not seem difficult, but when you actually try it, they can be pretty hard to match.

Now you guys, I'm not saying that these are the top dances, because I'm sure better ones (if only a few) can be found that top these, but these are some of the best. No harm done, right?

For those of you that i didn't entertain well enough...I'm not sure of what to say, so here's Andy Warhol Banana by Andy Warhol. Admire it.
