One Original Thing

I heard this song by Cheyenne Kimball with my friend Abbey and was listening to the lyrics closely (Force of habit, just to be sure :-P They passed, by the way) and it struck me that I could have written it! I have attempted to write songs along this line before, and I could really relate. I have known people who act like one person around certain people and then act completely different. Or there are the people who just HAVE to dress like Miley; I will admit, I have a few of her brand of tees, but I am talking about the people who practically wear their clothes inside out just so people know 'who' or 'what' they're wearing... is no one original anymore?



I pride myself on being somewhat original in what I wear, at the moment I am wearing a purple vintage looking Fruit Loops tee, a pleated denim skirt, a yellow beaded bracelet with the word 'Magic' written on it, my 20+ silly bands, and black sneakers (just cause I felt like it). Would my outfit make it into Vogue? Would I have Issac Mizrahi asking for my autograph because of what I'm wearing? NOT HARDLY! But it is comfortable (Comfort in clothes is essential to me, as my older sister likes to tease), it is, I think, cute, and it is modest. I am a God original and proud of it. Everyone is an 'original thing' created by God, but why does everyone copy everybody elses fashion?! My older sister Meghan is a great example for me, because she makes her own personal style that works for her look great. She prefers long skirts to short (so do I, most of the time) and she adores long cardigan sweaters. Some might call her look drab or boring (OK, I admit I have called it that, but only when I'm in a bad mood or I'm teasing) but her look screams Meghan and anybody who knows her knows this. Thank you Meghan for being a true original model for me.

Here are the lyrics that stuck out to me:

But everyone's lookin at TV screens
At wannabes that imitate
But I don't wanna be that way,

I'm flippin through channels but I'm still flipping thoughts in my mind,
How can it be that something so sweet is so hard to find?
It seems like everyones trying to be a model in a magazine,
It's not right, no it's so not right!


If you wanna listen to the song, scroll down to my blog music to song number 7 :-)

Enjoy!

The Next Food Network Star

So last night, after watching Tooth Fairy with the family, as the clock struck 9 PM, Meghan and I raced down to the basement where we quickly went to Food Network for the new episode of THE NEXT FOOD NETWORK STAR! Whooooohooooo! We love this show, cuz it's like American Idol for the Food Network! So ever since the beginning, I have been rooting for roughly 4 people. In order they are:

#1 Aarti

#2 Brad

#3 Aria

#4 Tom

Based on their recent performances, I'm totally in the dark about who will win... I am praying Aarti will win. She is great at diverse cooking and she is so sweet! I also like Brad, not only because he is kinda handsome (Hahaha) but because he has really grown during this competition. Aria has been a favorite since the beginning and Tom has been very personable and creative. Here is the lowdown of the contestants:

Ooops....

Hehehe... sorry I haven't updated in a while... summer is pretty busy and I'm afraid my blogging has suffered. Gabrielle has been here and I've been too afraid to spend any time away from her because her time has been short! So we're going to watch a 90 MINUTE EPISODE of The Next Food Network Star!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Woohooo! Here's hoping Brianna or Paul gets kicked off tonight!!!!!!!!!! We do not like them, so we'll see how it goes!

GO ARIA OR AARTIE! (I'm not sure if I spelled that right :P)
