In the wolfpack: Psy

By now, you have seen the amazing Gangnam Style video by K-Pop artist, Psy.

If not, drop everything you are doing and watch it now. Right now.  Cause this guy is on fire.  This guy is in the wolfpack.



Can't understand what is happening?  Are you so completely mesmerized by the hip shaking, hot tub drownings, horses and subway romances that you can't at all understand the point of the joyous video?  Yea, me too. 

According to ABC news, the repetitive chorus is "Oppan Gangnam Style", which means "Girls, your big brother is Gangnam Style."

"Gangnam means, it's like Beverly Hills of Korea," Psy told ABC News last month. "But the guy doesn't look like Beverly Hills. Dance doesn't look like Beverly Hills. ... And the situation in music video doesn't look like Beverly Hills. But he keeps saying, 'I'm Beverly Hills style.' So that's the point. It's sort of a twist."

Ahhhh.  It all makes sense now.  I'm going to go watch it 72 more times.

In the wolfpack; Stacey Dash

Why we love her?  Well, Clueless fame aside...she's in her mid 40s and has the skin and body of a 25 year old. Total smokeshow.

 She admits to eating clean, using cetaphil, and working out 4-5 times a week.

 She is reportedly (fingers crossed) working on a book, appropriately entitled, "How to Stay Dashing".  Yea...I'll be buying that the day it comes out.

"She loved, had a capacity to love, for love, to give and accept love.  Only she tried twice and failed twice to find somebody not just strong enough to deserve it, earn it, match it, but even brave enough to accept it."

Dear Chuck Bass,

Only 4 weeks until your fate is decided.

Until then,

Just like the clouds, my eyes will do the same.

I love everything about Bruno Mars: his music, his voice, his style, his love of the Dougie. I especially love this performance of It Will Rain. Give it a look see.

Unleash the Dragon

The following is a real email exchange between my best friend Chaci, and an administrator from a local university.

Background: In the fall of 2010, Chaci was about to complete his masters degree and was in the process of preparing all of the commencement paperwork and logistics.  This included choosing a personal picture to show while they called his name during the official diploma ceremony.

Please note: certain names have been changed to protect the ignorant...uhhhh, i mean, innocent.  Enjoy.

Hi Chaci,

We noticed that the photo you used for your personalized slide for the upcoming graduation is of a celebrity.  Would you prefer to use one of yourself or another photo that is reflective of who you are and the message you want to send and publically display?  Typically, the personalized slide is an opportunity to give thanks to individuals who have contributed to their academic achievements or to wish others well.  We see that your message does mention Sisqo.  Perhaps Sisqo is a friend of yours.

Please let me know.  Thank you.

Hello Dr. Smith,

I hope this email finds you well.  It terms of the type of person I am, perhaps you are right, Sisqo would not be the best representation.

Although his music has gotten me through some difficult times in my life that corresponded with his 1999 release of "Unleash the Dragon", it may be too embarrassing to admit to publicly.

I met Mark Althavean Andrews, a.k.a.Sisqo, during his younger years in Baltimore when he was with the singing sensation Dru Hill.  We've grown a part since his minor fame and I haven't had too much communication with him.

I would refer to him as an acquittance at this point, rather than a personal friend.

I rediscovered his music again when I was having difficulties managing my hectic full-time job and course work at BU.  Studying with his track "Got to Get It" surely made me realize his influential power and inspiration.

He has meant a great deal to me in achieving my degree, something many never believed I would accomplish.

I do; however, understand the public and professional setting of the commencement (something I'm looking forward to for sure!).

If you would like me to change it to something a little more standard I will do so immediately.

Thank you very much,

Chaci

Hi Chaci,

Thank you for your response.  It really helped me understand why you used Sisqo’s photo instead of yours.  Given what you have indicated, I truly believe that you should be the spotlight of your personalized slide.  This is YOUR moment, not Sisqo’s.  I am sorry that there were those you encountered who doubted you.  You persevered.  That’s what’s important.  Sisqo made a song.  I’m glad that it touched you but in the end, you were the one who had to work very hard to accomplish all you have.  You were the one who allowed his song to touch and motivate you.  Instead of giving him credit for what you have done, when he personally did not contribute to your success, consider honoring those who have.  This includes you.

Important Reminder

In the wolfpack: Erato

How cool is this cover of "Call your Girlfriend"?  I am seriously in awe.  How long did it take them to get this down?

Keep calm and watch the trailer.

As you know by now, I'm a 14 year old girl living inside of a 21 year old body. Okay, okay... 25 year old body.  Plus 2.  Give or take 2.  Whatever.

In addition to Harry Potter and Twilight and Gossip Girl and High School Musical, my childish pre-teen heart love love loves The Hunger Games and I believe everyone should read the 3 book series.

The first film is coming to theatres in March of 2012 and I have just decided that it is how I will celebrate my 25+5 birthday.  We're going to sneak wine coolers into the theater and curse President Snow and cheer for Peeta and cry for Prim.  I'm such a tween. Get your popcorn ready, kids...and may the odds be ever in your favor.

You already know I love Juventus and Gigi Buffon.   In truth, I love Alessandro Del Piero just a touch more.

I hate his wife, but I love me some Russell Brand.
