Things are a changing.

Good-After-X-Mas-But-Still-Before-New-Years- Evening to All My Readers!

Sorry I didn't give you guys your Christmas gift yet, but don't worry I will be giving you one soon.  I have a new concept for the new years blog ready for it?  WEBISODES!  My first ever webisode will be up sometime after the new year, so I recommend you keep checking in!  There will be some big news and some awesome/cheap/unique/genuine/personalized things that you will have the chance of owning! 

But in other news, I hope each one of you had a wonderful Christmas-- or whatever you may celebrate, and if you do not celebrate anything I hope you just had a good week.  I snagged some good things like: Sixteen candles the movie, the gift of running (shorts, shirts and ear muffs), a beautiful bracelet, a book of pick me ups, and an amazing dress for my trip to Las Vegas in a few weeks, Yay! 

Also it was a great day too because of the NBA christmas special.  I mean I expected more from the Lakers when they played the Heat, but I guess it is what it is.  I mean the Suns put up a pretty good fight against Miami considering the change ups they recently made, so I just expected a better shot considering that LA is the reigning champ.  But then again you have to think about Lebron moving to Miami... I feel like that is just a big mess and that is too much talent for one team.  I don't know I'm just a 21 year old girl that has too many opinions when it comes to basketball.  But in other news I am really liking the new Orlando Magic line up; I am although a little bitter about the turn around for Turkaglu!  Where did his dynamics come from?  I am happy for him, but come on, a little effort with the suns would have been beneficial considering how much he was getting paid.  Speaking of the Sun, I am really glad they got Pietrus!  We need a big man, I mean he is no Dwight Howard ( what a beast) but they need a powerhouse down their because frankly Robin Lopez can't handle it alone!  But I think a few more trades might be in order just because Phoenix has so many 2-3 players.  It will be hard letting players go because they have so many forwards/shooting guards that are moving mountains... especially Jared Dudley and Channing Frye.  I was going crazy over how much Dudley has improved not only in his outside game but his athleticism.  I think if all the Suns players showed that kind of improvement it would be a whole different team, but who I would really like to see make the move is Dragic.  In my eyes he has so much potential, a faint touch of Kevin Johnson, if he would stop trying to be Steve Nash.  I know that he was deemed to take over when Steve Nash retires (hopefully not too soon :O), but I think he needs to find his own confidence before he takes any kind of responsiblity.  Some games he plays fearless, but in games like the one against Miami he plays as if it's his first.  I could go on for days, so I think I should stop now.
But beyond the gifts and basketball it was great being with my family.  This year was really different because I didn't get to go to my REAL home, instead we stayed in the city-- mostly because my mom had to work.  But no need to worry I will be going home tomorrow, so there will for sure be some great pictures( well as good as they can get on a camera phone) of Arizona Scenery.  People don't realize it but Arizona isn't composed of just desert, we have mountains, green trees, and sometimes if we are fortunate snow! 

Coming back to the present... I got to hang out with one of my best friends today.  Doesn't sound like much but its a pretty big deal because how far life has pulled us apart.  She pretty much out of high school got married, found a new religion, and has plans to make a family and becoming a reminiscent 50s house wife-- and me on the other hand I love to move, make new starts, no strings attached, travel anywhere anyone will let me sleep on their couch, and one day hope to be an amazing doctor who will help underdeveloped communities.  But what I love about her is that although she has changed greatly and I have changed equally we still have common ground.  That brought me to thinking about change in general.  When I was younger I thought of change as bad and it scared me; but as I have come to find out change is the most natural thing in the world and we should not stray away from it, but rather embrace the opportunity provides us.  So now my challenge to you is to try something different... eat something you wouldn't normally eat, read more, write more, appreciate nature more, any but just know that while you are doing it, you are becoming a different person, a better person.

Besides my "challenge to you"  

I would like to give you some of my own thoughts:

1.  I really, really appreciate all my Denmark viewers! I am not sure if there is a website that is directing my page to peoples in Denmark, but regardless I would like to give a shout out to all the those from that area that are supporting me! 

2.  Feel free to leave comments about what you like, what you don't like, what other things you would like too see, or just random stories!

3.  Don't hesitate to tell others about my blog, I love to learn about others and I want to share the amazing things I have encountered with who ever wants to hear and vis versa.

4.  If you know of any good blogs that you want to introduce me to go right ahead and do so!

Entertainment!

Goddess on the Prairie- Hot Hot Heat

Hot Hot Heat is a Canadian band that has over the years surprised me.  Usually I don't like the emo nasally voice that the lead singer of this band sometimes taps into, but for some reason I have been drawn to them for quite sometime.  I think this video may on some subconscious level explain why, but I still don't understand (FYI I do not support prostitution of any sort).  I saw them live in Tucson and they were pretty good, they even had their own smoke machine that my roommate got attacked by!  But besides the good effects and the dummer's man-pony they put out some pretty good music,  so I hope you enjoy this video/song as much as I do!

Grace Potter and The Nocturnals

I somehow got my hands on a copy of this cd and have enjoyed it.  Grace Potter has the voice that complements the different elements of the album.  She maintains a feminine quality in the rock and roll vocals.  See for yourself!

Fashionistas

I got a look at some of the Spring 2011 collections, and I must say I wish I could just post all the shows, but because of copy right laws and what not I can't.  But what I did was place just a few of the piece I found interesting and liked!  Tell me what you think!
