Saturday Sing Along: Recent Songs

Livin' on a Prayer - Bon Jovi

This is my 2.5 year old nephew's favourite song on Rockband. He even knows the chorus (he also likes Hungry Like the Wolf, and Spirit in the Sky)


Bad Reputation - Joan Jett

It was fun to sing this with my brothers backing me on Rockband. And it seems fitting, even if it's not entirely true.


Simple Love Song - Hello Kelly

It's a catchy love tune that gets stuck in my head.


Forever - Chris Brown

I resisted for SO LONG. But now this song will forever be linked to New Year's Eve 2009/10. Probably the first & last time I will do any sort of dance in front of 400+ people.


Party in the USA - Miley Cyrus

Opinions on her personal life aside, her songs are catchy. And as discussed on NYE, the way she name drops other current artists (& hangs a giant American flag in the video) means it'll be around as a marker of this generation for awhile.

Okay, I have to say it: when I was just-seventeen, I was getting ready to finish high school. I was queen of the nerds and I was not in any way a sex symbol. Eight years later, I am thankful for my innocence. I wish Miley had my life.


New Years - Ohbijou

Listened to this on the plane ride yesterday. The whole album is lovely, and this seems a fitting song for January 2nd.


Choose - NeYo

Also from the plane ride home - I listened to David Guetta's album, trying to figure out who he is. Turns out he is a DJ. And it turns out this song is not about shoes as I had thought after half-hearing it on the radio. I wish it were about shoes. I would listen to it more.

Speaking of shoes, this is my favourite shoes song:

    ouch, that's quite the bold opinion/statement re: Miley and yourself, no?

    steph - maybe? i'm not sure what you hear when i say that...

    to clarify, i don't mean i think she shouldn't be famous. i definitely don't want to deny her skills in acting or singing. i just feel really sad for girls who, at 17, are major sex symbols and influencers on their peers. it is a) a lot of pressure and b) unhealthy (I think).

    i was referring to the tail end of your comments in that section.. "I am thankful for my innocence. I wish Miley had my life." thanks for clarifying more context, i think i get what you meant to say.

The ROM, The Earth & Procreation

Disclaimer: This post is intended to generate discussion and a sharing of many opinions. It is NOT intended to judge or condemn anyone's life choices. I had an unexpected moment at the ROM last month. C and I were listening to a presentation for kids on wildlife conservation (or rather, I was listening, and C was eagerly anticipating what live animal would come out next), when a statement caught my attention and still hasn't let go. For most of history, the earth could provide enough resources for the earth's human population. But today, our population is growing rapidly, increasing by 250 000 people every day... Forty years from now, it will require 2 Earths to provide sustainably for our survival as a human species. But we only have 1 Earth. 250 000 people. Every day. That is roughly twice the size of my hometown. In one day. So I did a little math. (First, I rounded down to 200 000, just in case the figures were inflated or failed to account for some sort o...

Women And Our Ways: Intro

Last summer, I started writing a blog entry that I never finished. There are several like that, actually. This particular one starts out: If you are male, you probably don't want to read this entry. I mean it. If you were grossed out by my entry on placenta lasagna , didn't understand the problematic tea commercial , or were surprised by my thoughts on the curse of Aunt Irma , this one is bigger, badder, and more bold. I'm going for broke. I've been meaning to write this girls-only series ever since. But then I realized that I want to write a series that may frighten or surprise men, but is not meant to exclude them. Then I thought that maybe I don't want to do that, as it will stir up controversy and I will be misunderstood and I will unintentionally offend both men and women and I will write about things that don't often get talked about. But I think I'm willing to risk it. Titles in the series Women and Our Ways may include: The Mo...

Sunday Starters

I'm not sure if I'm going to keep up with a different 'theme' for blogging every day. Sometimes I like it, and sometimes I hate it. But what I do know is that Sundays are no longer Fundays. (well, in reality, I'm sure they still will be). Instead, I want to do this: I start a sentence, and we all fill it in. However we want. There is only one rule: You have to play the game too. Example: Happiness is... ...a warm puppy ...time with my family ...a myth ...knowing that in the end, he/she's got my back. ...impossible to pin down. This week's starter: When I was six, I thought...
