Date, Marry or Get to Know

I was inspired by another blogger's post about who they'd marry or whatever. It was titled Marry, Date or Dump. Well, this one is to be called Date, Marry or Get to Know.

PostSecret

The name should be enough to strike some curiosity. Recently in my Art 100 class, we had to do an assignmen called a Post Secret, which for those who may not know, is basically a post card designed by you and you put stuff you would normally not tell anyone on it and design it. In my class, we got to get up and read them, a couple guys started laughing in a friendly way when I got up and read mine. Here is some of the stuff I put on mine:
1. Hippie, tree-hugger, peace lover are just 3 of my common nicknames
2. I proudly admit that I find Mick Jagger to be drop dead gorgeous and that if I were his age I'd marry him in a New York second! I proudly admit, I'm 20 years old and I think Mick Jagger is the sexiest man alive!
3. I have a super huge thing for Italian, Asian and English guys, I guess it's because of the accents
4. I love all things 1960s: peace signs, tie-dye, hippies and more!
5. Ballet and soccer are 2 things I wish I was better at.
6. I'm scared to death of spiders, I'm arachnaphobic
7. I'm afraid to express myself because of what others may think.
My PostSecret has tie-dye all over it and a couple pictures of Mick Jagger not surprisingly. Sorry, but there is something that is very physically attractive about him that I seem to like, there is something about him that sort of turns me on.

     


     





This is basically just some of the stuff I put on there. I'm not afraid to admit that someone as young as me finds that someone as old as Mick Jagger drop dead gorgeous, I mean, if I were his age, I'd marry him. I'm not like some women who would marry someone that looks as loving as him for money, totally not me, I'd marry him because he looks sweet, very loving, and looks like he enjoys having a good time. My teacher started laughing in a friendly way when I said that I thought he was cute and still has a nice body, well, he does! He's 67, and has the body of a 30 or 40 year old man? Normally it would be considered disturbing to find someone as old as him cute, but he is!

Movies(peliculas for the Spanish speakers)

Yeah, when it comes to movies, I'm not picky. I'll pretty much watch anything, but the only movies I refuse to watch are movies with excessive cussing, where every other word out of the actors mouth is a bad word, movies with graphic sex scenes where it goes on and on, movies with too much gore and bloodshed. I'm not saying I'm a tomboy about this stuff, but then again, I'm not exactly girly-girl. If you know me like my family does, then you'll know it's not too surprising to see that the old Ned Kelly movie from the 1970s is my favorite, it's sort of a weird movie to some, but it tells the story of the Australian outlaw Ned Kelly and plus, Mick Jagger plays him, cute English dude with a cute English accent trying to do a cute Australian accent, definitely very attractive. The kind of movies I like to watch usually have 1 or 2 things in common: they either have an Asian actor in it or an English actor in it. Notice a pattern with me? Here are some of my favorite movies:
Kiss of the Dragon                         Ned Kelly
                    

Cradle 2 the Grave                        Freejack
                 
Romeo Must Die                           Bend It Like Beckham
                 

What a Girl Wants

As you can see, these are just some of the movies I usually end up watching, Notice a pattern with me? Almost everything I watch usually has someone Asian or British in it.

Goals for the future.

I have a lot I would love to accomplish in my time here on Earth. You only have one life, so why not make it interesting? Well, for starters, I'd love to travel, to places far and exotic, like China, Japan, Italy, England, Australia. I'm not sure why it is that these places I would love to travel to, but there's just something about these places I'd love to see, I guess for England it's because one of my favorite bands is from there, The Rolling Stones, they got started by playing gigs at different clubs around London, like The Marquee Club, or places that may not be in London, like the Crawdaddy Club or the Longleat House. 


But right now in the now dimension, I just want to graduate. I'm currently attending Gateway Community and Technical College for an Associates Degree in Graphic Design. When I graduate, I want to get a job in Graphic Design. If there's a way to make a job out of doing CD covers for famous bands/artists, let me at it. Because this kind of stuff and advertising is what I love to do. I actually did a poster for a friend of mine. He's a massive music listener and he told me what he wanted on a poster and I had to ask him to repeat it because I thought I was hearing things. He wanted a poster for a 3 day music weekend, and as for the type of music, he told me British Invasion, I kid you not, he told me the artists he wanted, and he wanted the poster to make it look like these 3 English bands were going to each put on a concert over the course of 3 days. He wanted The Rolling Stones, Paul McCartney and Wings, and The Who on here. I finished it for him and he paid me $30 for it. Cool.


Sometimes I wonder, how do we begin to like the stuff we like now? When I think back on who I was when I was younger, I proudly admit that when I was younger, I was the type of girl who went nuts for the boy bands of the late 1990s and early 2000's. But thank God I outgrew that phase. I sometimes wonder how I got to like bands like The Beatles, Aerosmith, The Rolling Stones, etc. And then it hits me: my step dad. Yeah, I got a step dad, he's awesome. And it also surprises some to hear that he's part Italian and part Jewish. Some people make a big deal out of it, saying "your step dad is Italian? Wow, I never knew that". Yup, I have a step dad, his name is Greg and he is awesome. I guess he's the reason why I like all these cool older bands, because he likes them, he basically introduced their music to me. And also, it extends to TV as well. There's these 2 TV shows that I love watching, although most people in my part of the world may not know what they are. Not surprisingly, they're both TV shows out of England, one's called Top Gear, the other is called My Family. I love the show Top Gear, it's funny and it teaches you about cars, and sometimes they do funny stunts with cars, like this one episode where they had to build their own limos and take these British singers to an award show. Another part of the show I like is when they have famous people on there. I have an episode I haven't watched yet at home on the DVR, it's an episode of Top Gear from 2007, that has Ronnie Wood from The Rolling Stones on it. Man he is one awesome dude. The other TV show I like is called My Family. It's about this guy named Ben Harper, who's a dentist, and his family, his wife Susan, his sons Nick and Michael, daughters Abby and Janie. I swear, my sister is exactly like Janie. and my mom says that I'm a mix of Abby and Nick, because I can be a little ditzy sometimes and I'm a massive music lover and a little clueless like Nick.


But my main goals for the future is to travel. Sorry if I tend to get off topic. I must have the attention span of a fly or something. But I really want to travel to places outside of the US. I've never really been on vacation anywhere outside the US and I really want to travel. I want to go to places far away, like England, China, Japan, Italy, Australia. But I'll definitely be getting myself a passport otherwise I ain't going anywhere! Another goal I have is to go to a concert for a band I actually like, when I was younger, I went to a concert with my sis for a band my parents both liked before they divorced, it was this country band called Alabama. They're okay, but I never really cared for them. Now, if I ever go to a concert, it's going to be for Aerosmith, The Rolling Stones, Paul McCartney, Seal or Shakira. Either one of those is fine with me. Believe it or not, I'm probably the only one in my college classes who actually loves music like Paul McCartney or The Rolling Stones. I'd love to see BOTH of these bands in concert because their music is totally amazing!

About Me

I know I've done blogs like this in the past, including my first official blog, but I love to talk about what I like and see if anyone out there in the blogosphere likes what I like and see if there are any common likes and similarities out there.
When it comes to TV, I pretty much watch anything, execpt reality shows, those are the stupidest things ever, no offense to those who love them, but I really don't care for them, that's all that seems to be on TV nowadays. Now certain shows, like Cake Boss, Pawn Stars, Auction Kings, I'm not sure if those count as reality shows, but if they do, I love them. But other shows, like crime dramas and stuff I watch. My most favorite shows are CSI:NY, Law and Order:SVU, Top Gear, which is a Britain based car show where these 3 guys do different stunts and stuff with cars. Like they'll build their own limos out of cars or build their own RV out of cars, it's funny. And other shows, like Cake Boss, Pawn Stars, Auction Kings are cool because of the stuff they get or do.

My favorite one is the one to the far left, with the brown hair and leather jacket, his name is Richard Hammond and he is my favorite, he is sooooooooooooo cute.

This is what the crew from Top Gear look like. It's a British based TV show, so it's probably no suprise that not that many know the show except for the newly made American version of it. Personally, the British version trumps the American version anyday. My favorite one is the one to the far left, with the dark brown hair and dark brown leather jacket. He's so cute, but then again, I guess I got a thing for English guys with accents.

When it comes to movies, I like virtually any movie, except movies where there's someone constantly cussing, too much sex stuff or anything overtly violent. I like movies that make me laugh, have a good story to it or is got one of my favorite actors in it. I mean, the movie could totally suck but if it had Jet Li, Chow Yun-fat or Hugh Jackman in it, I'll watch it. Most of the movies I watch usually have one thing in common: they're either martial arts movies, movies with an English actor in it, like What a Girl Wants, or Bend It Like Beckham or The Full Monty.

When it comes to movies, I have a lot of favorite actors, some of them aren't even actors, some are musicians, like for example, Mick Jagger, is a cool actor despite what some say about him not being a good actor. My favorite movie with him is Freejack and Ned Kelly. And other actors, include Jet Li, Chow Yun-fat, Hugh Jackman, Sylvester Stallone

Hola!

Hola! How would one advertise themselves? Most would say that advertising is trying to get people to take notice of something, like a product. Well, these blogs are here to advertise the people behind the blogs. So if I were to advertise myself, you'd probably find me doing an ad for some retro-vintage store wearing granny glasses, tie-dye, and bell-bottoms. That's who I am, I'm your average, every day, modern hippie beat-nik. I wear retro clothes, and I like older music. To tell you a little about me, I have a somewhat large family, most of them living in central Kentucky. I have a dad named Steve, a little sis named Jessica, but we call her Jessie, a mom named Brenda, and a step-dad named Greg.

I'm 19 and I'm a college student. This is my 2nd year at Gateway Community and Technical College. I'm going for an Associates Degree in Graphic Design. I enjoy listening to music and reading books in my off time, I love all kinds of music, like R&B, jazz, British Invasion-era, rock, Latin, club/techno(Rihanna), new wave, like U2 and Coldplay. I enjoy reading alot, my favorite books are The Lovely Bones by Alice Sebold, One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest by Ken Kesey, and I enjoy reading books about people because I enjoy learning new things about people I never knew before. My dad owns alot of biographies on people I have no idea who they are, mainly just British actors and comedians he likes. I only own 3, 2 are on actors, 1 is on a band I like. But when I'm not doing homework for school, I usually have my head stuck in a book or are listening to music. It's one of the simple pleasures I have. On Friday it's my birthday and I'm getting Chinese food for dinner.

I'm turning 20 and I could care less.Anymore, birthdays are like just another day to me. Some of the goals I have for the near future is to simply graduate, nothing too hard. And for the far future, I want to travel the world, see some of the beautiful places in the world, like China, Japan, Italy, Australia. I enjoy traveling everywhere. The teachers here at Gateway are totally awesome. They're always here to help and that is good. I'm enjoying every second of school I can, because soon I'll graduate and I'll be in the working world. Some think it's scary, but I'm looking forward to it. My dad tries to say it's hard, and for all I know, he might be right, but I'll just have to wait and see. My dad says I'll be one of those super, peppy, happy, cheery people in the morning who greets everyone with a million dollar smile. I'm not going to be like that in the morning, but I will enjoy my job.

Because if you see me in the morning, I'm not peppy, happy, cheery. I need my coffee to do that. I'm not a morning person unless I have my coffee! But I'm basically the kind of person that treats everyone with the kindness and respect I think they deserve. I'm hoping to go into a job like advertising or any job that involves CD cover design. Because in one of my classes here, my final project for this one class of mine, 2D design, was to create a CD cover for a band/artist we like, I did Aerosmith for my CD cover. It was a little blurry when it came out maybe because of the printer or something, but I'm proud of it. If I can land a job doing advertising or CD cover design, you'd think you bought me the world I'd be so happy.

I'm also the type of person that, when given the chance to do something, I go at it full force. I enjoy my work, and I'm not sure if that's a problem, but I enjoy doing graphic design, it's what interests me. Out of all the classes I've had here at Gateway, I'd have to say that my most favorite classes are the Intro to Computers, Fundamentals of Drawing, Computer Page Layout, 2D Design, my Macromedia Flash class, Corporate Identity. Those are my favorite classes because they are fun.

Peliculas

If you are all wondering what this title means, it means 'Movies' in Spanish. You'll probably notice that I speak Spanish quite often in these blogs, but I enjoy speaking it. Over the weekend, I watched a few movies, well, my dad did at least. On Friday night, while my sister was at work, me and my dad watched this movie called My Cousin Vinny. It's really funny, it's about this Brooklyn lawyer named Vincent Gambini, Joe Pesci plays him and Marisa Tomei plays his girlfriend. They have to travel to Alabama to defend his cousin and a friend because they were convicted of murder. It's a really funny movie if you watch it. But it keeps reminding me of my 2 next door neighbors, David and Vicki, because they are both part Italian and from New York, whenever I hear them talk, I hear the accent. I watched this other movie, I'm pretty sure that everyone on the face of the earth has probably seen it at least once somewhere, Scarface. It's from 1983, it has Al Pacino in it. I never really realized how old the movie was. I've seen it so many times because my dad is a huge fan of De Niro and Pacino. Don't know why?!?!? But if you know my dad, you'll discover that he's a huge movie buff. But I usually am the type to not worry what goes on in the world of Hollywood, I could care less what movie is coming out nowadays because I figure I have little or no money and whenever I do have money, my dad has to borrow some to get something, he'll usually say it's for something we need, yeah right! I fell for that one already and I lost $30 to him. He spent the money on cigarettes! How pathetic! I can;t even enjoy the simple pleasure of going out to see a movie because my dad would want to go or I have no money! I wanted to see the new Karate Kid movie, but I had no money, then I wanted to see The Expendables, yet again, no dinero! I also had to add this: has anyone ever seen this movie I watched over the weekend? It's called What a Girl Wants. It has Amanda Bynes in it. It's about a girl who's living in New York and she hasn't ever met her dad, and when she finds out about him, she discovers he's a British politician running for office, so she goes to England and tries to find him. It's a really awesome movie, plus it's a cool movie for teens. I watched it after My Cousin Vinny because it was on  some channel I forget the name of. But anyway, it's really awesome, and plus the guy who plays her dad in there, he's kind of cute, in a British gentleman sort of way. I think his name is Colin Firth or something, I love cute guys with an adorable English accent.
