For Week One of Dancing with the Stars, Celebrities are always given the Cha-Cha as the Latin dance and usually given the choices of Waltz/Foxtrot/Viennese Waltz as their Ballroom dance. Season 12 will be having the Foxtrot as the ballroom. There was an obvious trend that one could look at, the latter season winners were [...]

Please ask me silly questions and I will answer them! There is now a box below my twitter feed where questions can be asked. Then yeah, I guess I get them and answer them! Still not exactly sure how it works, but I’m going with it.

Christina Perri Total Points: 84 Charted Songs: “Jar of Hearts” – #17 “Jar of Hearts” is 2010′s little engine that could. The song was plucked from obscurity by choreographer Stacey Tookey for a performance on ‘So You Think You Can Dance.’ Out of nowhere, the song started to be downloaded on Amazon and iTunes and [...]

La Roux Total Points: 83 Charted Songs: “Bulletproof” – #18 La Roux kind of popped up with a really catchy techno-pop sound. “Bulletproof” fit right into that Lady GaGa, Ke$ha sound and one thing that was wonderful was the music video. I only got to see it a few times on Fuse, but I watched [...]

Here are the artists that just missed the top 30, starting with number 36. 36. Jason Derulo – (71 Points) Jason had more of an impact early into 2010, thus leading him to be a bit forgotten in the second half of 2010. He also showed up on ‘Dancing with the Stars’ to promote an [...]

And yes, that’s how i normally dress…

It’s that time of year again where on my blog I cover the top music of 2010. Last year I decided to do the list by song, but this year I realized that this year had a lot of artists releasing tons of songs. So instead this year I’m doing My Top 30 Artists of [...]

I’m not sure if I’m going to keep this idea going, but it was kinda fun recording this. And as a special treat for you website readers, my blooper reel. I’ve placed it as an unlisted video on Youtube, so only you special three (or four) can watch it!

If Brasilianos 2 was a racer, it would have unleashed its turbo rocket boosters early to get ahead of the pack, only to cool off and found its right tempo at the end. While all of the songs by the Hamilton de Holanda Quintet are fresh and original, the opening three tracks are hectic, fast [...]

Tomorrow starts my countdown of my top 30 favorite songs of 2009. Most of them will actually be big hits and will probably be very obvious. There are a handful (on the upper half of the list) that may not have been the biggest of hits, but I fell for them as well. I guess [...]

Here are the Dancing with the Stars links for this week. Was I shocked about Joanna? Not so much. She had no fans. Recap: Dancing with the Stars – Performance #9 – For the first time in Dancing with the Stars history, the semifinalists have to dance three dances…… Review: Dancing with the Stars – [...]

I use the banners above as a quick and dirty way of practicing my (lack of) Photoshop skills. As I mentioned previously, my weeks get busy so I don’t have time to just dedicate to photoshop and realized that it’s just easier to practice my layers with Photoshop. I don’t get to do a lot [...]

Here’s three more links: Dancing with the Stars: Performance 4 Results – TV Squad So You Think You Can Dance: Vegas Callbacks 2 – TV Squad America’s Next Top Model: Petite Ninja Warriors – TV Squad Some comments: Top Model – I like the concept, but I’m starting to hate Sundai. Even if she looks [...]

Here are two articles I’ve recently written: America’s Next Top Model: Dance with Me – TV Squad Music Review – AfroSambaJazz: The Music of Baden Powell – BlogCritics.Org If you could, leave comments on both sites. Comments mean love!

I know I’m not the most up-to-date, hip, CSS, HTML, Widget friendly kid, but I’ve been milling this idea around until I found a plug-in that would work for what I need. So above this post on the main page will now be links to articles I’ve written. Sure I struggled because I’m an idiot [...]

I’m having website meltdown. At the moment I hate HTML. I really do. HTML, CSS, Javascript. Everything. Why can’t websites be drawn on a piece of paper, scanned, and then mysteriously just work the way you wanted? Of course I have to struggle my way around with my small web bag of tricks, trying to [...]

Sometimes when you grow up, so does your HTML skills.

WordPress has been hounding me for months to update my WordPress from 2.6 to 2.7. If anyone recalls, I actually had a meltdown the last time I tried to update my website because I lost all my posts and pages. Luckily for me, I read the instructions correctly. Yay for paying attention. Funny enough, I [...]

I’ve been thinking of what exactly I want to get accomplished for next year. Here are a few that I can think of. Build a Computer – My Dell is about to die. I know it. I’ve read some articles on how to build a computer and I’m confident that I can assemble something good…and [...]

Ugh… maybe I should read instructions. When there’s some big red bold sign saying “you will lose information” I guess I should back up information. The only reason that my about my “written” page was saved was because for some reason I had this  page as a tab while everything was being wiped away. Thinking [...]

I accidentally deleted everything because wordpress was pressuring me to update…I’m gonna cry and type now.
