Huntington Beach

Huntington Beach is a really famous beach in California. There's actually a live camera on the beach and it is played in all the Hollister stores in the United States. This place even has it's own website. I haven't personally been to this beach but someday I know I will. 

Just look at how perfect it is, the pier and the waves. Having been to California, seeing this picture makes me feel like I'm actually there. I can imagine the sound of the waves crashing the shore and the cold breeze brushing against my skin, messing up my hair, the taste of the salt from the ocean, and lastly the smell of water mixed with sand and fish.

G-Eazy

Gerald Earl Gillum, also known as G-Eazy, is one of the best rappers/singers that has a unique sound which can be distinguished by in the midst of similar-sounding music. He's originally from the Bay Area in California, where there are a lot of competition in the music industry.

I had just found out about this guy within the past year, and just about everyday since I have played at least one of his songs everyday. His songs are so fun and catchy making it hard to not get obsessed with them instantly. Let's not forget how good looking he is too. Like on a scale of 1-10, he would be a 9.7, he looks like a classy greaser who might have grown up in a the hood. G-Eazy raps (mainly) about the "party life" that consists of drugs, alcohol, and sex. It makes me sad that he doesn't play on the radio because his music has a way of talking to people.

The first time ever listening to G-Eazy was when I was with a group of my friends at the cliffs and someone brought their portable speaker. Then they played the song "I Mean It" and I absolutely loved it. It's not lyrically great, but it's different and catchy. You can hear his voice in the song, which is just a cherry on the top of things. Ever since I can't go a day without listening to him. He recently posted three new songs on soundcloud called "I Might", "Why Thank You" and lastly "Show You The World". Personally I like I might just because it's another song that you listen to that's catchy and at least for me, got me laughing because the lyrics are pretty dumb. But a couple lines in a song can be complete fire (great) but majority of his songs sound better as like background music for cleaning or hanging out with friends. 

G-Eazy is slowly becoming more known to the public and I truly believe that he will be as big as Eminem or Drake. I play his music almost everywhere I go and when people ask me who my favorite rapper is, Gerald is always on top. <3 

A fun fact about G-Eazy is that he's actually homeless because he sold his house and he lives on his tour bus.

Juicy Couture

Recently, in the midst of looking through my email, I received one from a place called Juicy Couture, a store I was obsessed with in middle school. The clothes are like any other well-known place, over priced for an article of clothing. Who wants to spend up to $70 on a shirt that simply has a 'JC' on it?! Two simple letters on a tee and people would spend that much money just because it's a designer. In middle school however, I thought I was so cool that I spent just as much but on a jacket and I spent even more for a bag that couldn't hold all my books and binders.

This is going to all designers, like how is it that you can sell a person socks that has one or two letters on it, for the price of college tuition? I don't understand. Some people are just too caught up in the world and obsess over these designers and getting the "most expensive" clothing, shoes, etc. However is it even worth it? Is getting all your clothes from Buckle, or Nike or even Victoria Secret more important than food on the table, or gas in your car? I'm not trying to be hypocritical or anything and I understand that there may be good sales, however there are some people who will spend the full price just so they can say they spent so much money on something so small.

HOPSIN

Marcus Hopson, also known as Hopsin, is, in my opinion, the best rapper out there. His lyrics actually means something, instead of rapping about sex, drugs and alcohol, Hopsin raps about life and how there's more to life than those three things that almost every other rapper raps about.

The first time I ever heard a Hopsin song was about a year ago, and the song was called 'Good Guys Get Left Behind' from his Knock Madness album. I remember it as if it happened yesterday. Bez and I were in English class after having Gym first block, and we were both listening to music instead of reading MacBeth. She puts one of her earbuds in my ear and tells me to "listen to this song". I was a bit skeptic of him because he does swear in all of his songs, and his enthusiasm may, at times, be scary, however lyrically is amazing so I had to further stalk him. I later learned the whole rap to 'Ill Mind of Hopsin 5' for Bez's birthday and felt like the next Nicki Minaj.

His songs range from yelling angrily, or calmly roasting people. It's great to just listen to him if you're having a rough day because there's a high chance that he will comfort you in some shape or form. A really good example of him getting too passionate is in 'Ill Mind of Hopsin 7' *Disclaimer: he swears a lot*. However the content of his songs are purely great and means something.

A couple weeks ago Hopsin said he was quitting rap to move to Australia to be with his girlfriend, and because he felt as if the "music industry is trash" which he later posted a video saying it was all a joke and that he wouldn't quit rap AND he's releasing a new album! :)

I MISS CALI

It's that time of the winter that all I want to do is go camping, go to the beach, or simply lay outside just for fun. There's nothing I'd rather do than go to California again and be happy with the little things, like a nice walk on the beach while enjoying the hot summer day with a nice and refreshing breeze. I swear there's something in California air that makes you want to be there forever. A couple of my coworkers went to California within the last month and they all said that they felt as if their stay went by really fast and they want to go back. I as I'm getting closer to graduation high school, all I can think about is how fun it will be to live in California.

Instead of being in lovely California, I'm stuck in the cold midwest, freezing with SAD (Seasonal Affective Disorder). My mom and I always talk about college and about moving to California. Those talks with her make me so happy because of how supportive she is. With the tight schedule I have with school, work, and homework it's hard to actually sit down and talk, so the fact she chooses to talk to me about moving to California makes me so happy.

Look at how happy we were in California/ I didn't intend to post three pictures with mama in them, but it unintentionally happened :)

Super Bowl XLIX

This year, 2015, the two teams participating in the Super Bowl XLIX are the Seattle Seahawks and the New England Patriots. With the start of the second quarter the Seahawks are down by 7. Literally 85% of the Super Bowl is commercials. Most of the commercials aren't that great. There was one that was owned by Nationwide and a little boy on the screen said something along the lines of "I couldn't grow up because I died from an accident" Almost made me cry; on the screen, it said the a high percentage of the childhood deaths are caused by preventable accidents, which made me re-think how I live my life. Instead of me being bitter about something minor and small happens in my life like a bad grade on a test or not being invited to hang out with friends, I should be grateful that I'm alive and breathing because some people don't get to live to be in their teens or high school.

SEATTLE GOT A TOUCHDOWN! The score is tied 7-7. Seahawks went from the 2 yard line to the endzone, so proud of my West coast team :') However they really need to get better plays. The Patriots are playing wide and are running out to the sidelines versus getting tackled like what the Seahawks are doing. From playing soccer, I know getting tackled, or even just falling will tire you.

Update: It's now tied up again; 14-14 :') They hanging in there. Come on Seahawks, I believe in you.

Even though he's on the opposing team, Tom Brady is a beautiful human being and deserves to be blogged about. He's the quarterback for the New England Patriots and is MY FAVORITE NUMBER, which is 12. He basically carries the team on his back because without him, none of the plays would happen without him, and lastly the touchdowns wouldn't be that significant without him. For those who don't know what a quarterback does, they are the ones to yell 'HIKE' or 'HUT' and the center throws the ball to the quarterback and the quarterback then has two options: throw the ball or run with it. Throughout the game, Brady has had some really good throws.

*Half Time*

Katy Perry's outfit is unique like always.. But the thing she's riding looks fun. I mean she sounds beautiful and the Dark Horse performance is so trippy, but entertaining. Um, I'm confused to who the other dude is though. HER WARDROBE CHANGE FOR TEENAGE DREAM OMG. Just like everything for this performance, wow. I wonder how much the sharks are getting paid to dance for her. SHE'S SINGING CALIFORNIA GURLS OMG YES! <3 The stage looks so dangerous like it's so dimly lit and it looks like you can fall down and like break bones or something.. Okay the Firework performance has got to be the best, I was not expecting that at all. To be honest I thought her performance was going to be so bad but it was really entertaining.

Okay, the Patriots only won by four points. I'm so done. Majority of the game was back and forth starting with the Patriots. They would score then the Seahawks would score and then repeat. Overall I thought the Super Bowl was pretty interesting and worth the watch. Even though I'm not that into football I felt like I was too into the game.
