Biggest Disappointments:

Secondhand Serenade's Hear Me Now was pretty much the biggest joke this year. After an AWESOME debut, their follow-up album was a failure of epic proportions. Which made me mad because I was really looking forward to it.

I avoided swine flu. I mean, H1N1! Excuse me for being politically incorrect. Come on, you can't blame me for being disappointed. Being quarantined is something everyone should experience.
Obama wasn't assasinated.

Still waiting for a zombie appocalypse.

Lonestar was cancelled and Smallville is still on the air in its 10th season.

The Suns lost the Western Conference Finals to the Lakers. Douchebags!

Jake Gyllenhaal made the worst mistake of his life by dating Taylor Swift and not me.

I am still unemployed.



2010 Made Me Sick and Tired of...

Ke- i'm a retard so i'm gonna use a dollar sign in my name- ha, Heidi Montag and her stupid surgeries, Miley Cyrus, Jersey Shore which isn't even in the Jersey Shore ANYMORE (smh.), Twilight, Taio Cruz- Break Your Heart, Paranormal Activity 2, Antoine Dodson (if i hear someone say "hide yo kids hide yo wife" ONE MORE FREAKIN TIME!!!), Justin Beiber.

happy new year :)

More Summer Obsessions...

#5. Covert Affairs

So I really wasn't expecting much from this new show on USA Network because I've had my doubts about Piper Perabo (i mean the girl was in that chiuaha movie! that's what i call DESPERATE) but USA Network did it again and has created ANOTHER awesome show! The pilot was amazing! I'm really excited to see where this show goes. Some of the characters are quickly becoming my favorite characters on television and the storyline is great! It comes on after Psych on Wednesday nights and you can get the pilot episode for free on itunes! I highly recommend this show and I've come to realize that ANY USA Network show is bound to be good. ie) Psych, White Collar, Covert Affairs. JUST WATCH IT! You won't regret it. Piper Perabo has FINALLY turned her career around and done something good for once!

#6. British Singers

-Florence + The Machine:
Their music was featured on the preview for Eat, Love, Pray...the pilot episode of Covert Affairs...NBC's Community...and several tv comercials! "Kiss with a Fist" "Cosmic Love" and "Dog Days Are Over" are just some of my favorites. I've been blasting "Dog Days Are Over" ALL SUMMER!

-Kate Nash:

"Merry Happy" is SUCH a good song! I first heard it on an episode of Community and I thought it was Regina Spektor, but when I looked it up I realized it was Kate Nash. The lyrics are so powerful. Now, I've never dealt with a break-up but when I do...I'm blasting this song!

someday my prince will come...

This is one of THOSE days.

The days when I just want to be living a different life. Maybe it's because this summer is dragging on like no other...maybe I'm just being a silly teenager...maybe it's because i've been babysitting a lot this summer, but there are some days when I just want my life to BEGIN! Can I skip high school? Can I skip college? Can I just skip to the part where i meet my knight in shining armor and we gallop off into the sunset and make tons of cute babies? Even if I could just skip to my first date with the man of my dreams! Then I'd be satisfied. Sometimes I scare myself and think that if that did happen, I would end up as a 40 year old woman in front of a computer screen on eharmony.com!

I know that marriage should be "at the right time with the right person" but i just wish i could send a HUGE S.O.S to my future husband and tell him to hurry up and serve a mission or finish serving his mission and come to my rescue! And if it ends up I'm the girl that gets married right after high school...SO BE IT! It would honestly make my life decisions so much easier. "WHOOHOOO! Screw you college! I'm getting hitched!" Do they have a major for mommyhood, perhaps? Maybe THAT'S it! Maybe this whole new desire to get married is really just my idea of trying to avoid the scary decisions I'm going to be making after high school. Who knows...ask me tomorrow and I'll probably say I want to grow up and be the President of the United States and not get married til I'm 30.

So You Think You Can...BAWL YOUR EYES OUT!!

I don't know what it is about So You Think You Can Dance, but so far this season I've cried 3 times while watching it. The first time was when Alex and Allison danced to "Hallelujah", the second time was when they announced that Alex needed surgery and wouldn't be returning (so sad), and the third time was last night when Robert (my fav) and Allison danced a Travis Wall number to "Fix You" by Coldplay. COLDPLAY MAKES ME CRY ENOUGH AS IT IS! Travis dedicated the dance number to his mom who just had surgery. The story was so beautiful. Robert represented Travis and Allison represented his mom. I so wish I could dance! I think it's the most beautiful form of expression EVER! I admire dancers so much, especially the ones that create meaningful and emotional routines. Travis Wall is such an amazing coreographer!

I think this season of SYTYCD is slowly becoming my favorite...I don't think it could ever outdo season 3, but it's pretty close! I love that they've brought back past contestants (particularly NEIL! YUMMY. YUMMY. My all time favorite contestant! can i just marry him now?). I really want to go to the SYTYCD Tour...I hear Neil has signed up! *squeel* Anyway...
here are the dances that made me cry like a baby:

alex 11 @ Yahoo! Video

Robert 7 @ Yahoo! Video

and here are some of my favorite SYTYCD numbers:

alex 9 @ Yahoo! Video

I cried when I watched this one for the first time too...





I LOVE Neil!!




and THIS is by far the funniest dance routine EVER!

Things I've Fallen In Love with This Summer

#1. White Collar
Usually I'm not into the whole serious crime tv shows like CSI and Law and Order, so when Gina recommended that I watch White Collar I wasn't too interested but I did anyway because she and I generally share the same taste in shows. After I watched the first episode, I was HOOKED! This show is surprisingly funny and I'm literally on the edge of my seat every episode! It doesn't hurt that the lead character is basically the sexiest man ALIVE! Gina and I started watching this show just in time because the second season starts July 13th, so I've had until then to catch up on the first season and its AMAZING! If you've seen the movie "Catch Me If You Can" with Tom Hanks and Leonardo DeCaprio, this show follows a similar storyline. If you're bored this summer and want a new show to watch, check out White Collar! You WON'T be disappointed.

#2. Their Eyes Were Watching God



"One of the most important works of twentieth-century American literature, Zora Neale Hurston's beloved 1937 classic, Their Eyes Were Watching God, is an enduring Southern love story sparkling with wit, beauty, and heartfelt wisdom. Told in the captivating voice of a woman who refuses to live in sorrow, bitterness, fear, or foolish romantic dreams, it is the story of fair-skinned, fiercely independent Janie Crawford, and her evolving selfhood through three marriages and a life marked by poverty, trials, and purpose. A true literary wonder, Hurston's masterwork remains as relevant and affecting today as when it was first published -- perhaps the most widely read and highly regarded novel in the entire canon of African American literature. "

I chose this book to read for my AP English summer assignment and it was pretty good. I cried. It was on Oprah's Book Club list and she helped produce it into a movie starring Halle Berry. I watched the movie and it wasn't anywhere near as good as the book, but the movie still made me cry too. If you want a good book to read this summer, check out Their Eyes Were Watching God by Zora Neale Hurston.

#3. Toy Story 3


I've been waiting FOREVER for the third installment to come out and let me tell you...it didn't disappoint AT ALL. In a cheesy way, I felt like it helped me finally close the chapter on my childhood. Which is depressing! Growing up, Toy Story was the one VHS tape that was always in the VCR! I loved that movie as a kid. Now?? I'm almost 18 years old!! That's crazy!! I loved this movie and it will forever hold a place in my heart.

#4. FIFA World Championship Soccer

Never in my life would I thought I could've gotten into soccer. Never say never i guess. All you really have to do to get me hooked to a sport is throw in some very attractive athletes!! haha. Soccer defnintely has some sexy-exy players so it didn't take me long to fall in love with the sport. You know how when you were little you would go to your siblings soccer practices and DREAD it because all you were watching was a bunch of kids kick a ball back and forth and hopefully one team would get just as bored playing as you were watching and proceed to sit down and start picking the grass, leaving the other team with a perfect opportunity to score....yeah, professional soccer isn't all that different. haha. They're all just so good that it's almost IMPOSSIBLE to score, so sometimes it takes a full hour for some action to happen! Which is totally worth it because by that point all the sexy-exy soccer players are even SEXIER and sweaty! :) This year the team i wanted to win "ESPANA!!!" won the World Championship for the first time! My fantasy boyfriend Iker Cassillas (the captian and goalee of the team) had one of the most adorable post game interviews with his reporter girlfriend! I'll post the video and leave a translation...it's funny that even though i feel like i learned NOTHING from the 4 years i took spanish, i understood this entire interview!

June 29th/30th Vlog

MIDNIGHT SHOWING OF ECLIPSE!!

"when did i become such an...ACTIVIST?!"

I've always been annoyed by so-called "tree huggers" but lately...I've become one of THEM! I'm normally not like this AT ALL! I pride myself on being a member of the "i'm lazy. who gives a crap?" club, but lately I've actually been paying attention to the news around the world and in particular the oil spill on the Gulf Coast. IT'S RIDICULOUS! I'm honestly not too concerned about the animals, but I've taken Biology and I know that there's a thing called a water cycle and all that oil is gonna start falling from the sky pretty soon and that's just N.A.S.T.Y! Here's a video I found on youtube of "oil rain" already happening in Louisiana.





Usually, I wouldn't pay too much attention to something like this. I think Global Warming is a load of crap and I honestly don't care where the food on my plate came from...stuff like that doesn't bother me. This BP Oil Spill, DOES! Now, there are a lot of politics involved with the business being corrupt and the government yada yada yada...so far it seems like all anyone was done is look for who to blame rather than how to fix it! Come on now...we went to the moon, we can sure as heck fix an oil leak!



The rain issue isn't the only thing that bothers me. People are losing their jobs and fishermen are moving their families to Brazil because they can no longer fish. Not only that, but the locals are permitted from cleaning the Gulf and only authorized BP workers are allowed to clean up. EXCELLENT! Letting the murderer inspect the crime scene sounds like a brilliant solution! I have no clue why I'm so riled up about this. I guess it shows how boring my summer is going...I'm turning into an activist for cryin out loud! Ugh. "Activist." I swore I'd never become that word. Anyway, i promise this will be the first and LAST post I make concerning the subject. I despised people who went on rants about how to save the world and many of them really don't know what they're talking about. I will admit...I'm not an expert when it comes to this issue, BUT I'm not stupid! It should not be this difficult to clog up a hole....just stick Obama in it. haha. Jk. Did I really just mention the President in my blog post? GAH! I abhor politics! What is happening to me?! Til next time!
Sincerely,
I don't even know who this is anymore...

Disney Dopeness

"Upular"

My Newest Obsession...Period Dramas

I know its summertime when I can spend 10 straight hours watching a BBC Period Drama! I'M OBSESSED WITH THEM!! However...mini-series?? That's a HUGE understatement. I watched 14 epsidoes!! That's more than a season of Friday Night Lights!! haha...ok, maybe I should explain a bit more.

I don't even remember how I stumbled upon it, but on Saturday Night I found this tv special on youtube called "Lost in Austen." It's about Amanda Price who because of the lack of romance in her life, turns to Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice. She reads it so much that the character Elizabeth Bennet comes to life and switches places with her. While stuck in the book, she watches everything go wrong! Jane marries Mr. Collins, Charlotte moves to Africa, and Caroline is...GAY?! What? Yeah...it was weird, but i loved it! It reminded me of Kate and Leopold. I LOVE THAT MOVIE!! My only complaint...Elizabeth and Darcy don't end up together in the end. Amanda steals him from her!! I mean, sure everyone falls in love with Mr. Darcy when they read the book, but he still belongs with Elizabeth!! They're one of Austen's most CLASSIC couples!! I think Jane Austen rolled around in her grave a few times during this movie. It was still entertaining though. :) 4 stars!!

And lastly...LITTLE DORRIT!!! I'd never heard of it before, but it's a novel by Charles Dickens that I have now decided to read for my AP English summer assignment. The miniseries was so AMAZING!! I cried. I just can't even describe how incredible this series was!! I watched it all day Sunday!! Since 10 hours of something is almost impossible to sum up quickly, I'll just post the preview. If you ever are bored or get the chance...WATCH LITTLE DORRIT!!

The Period Dramas I Can't Wait to Watch this Summer:
*War and Peace
*Wives and Daughters
*Anna Karenina
*Mansfield Park
*Jane Eyre
*Becoming Jane
*Emma
*Persuasion
*Sense and Sensibility
*and so many more...
WHICH MEANS, LOOK OUT FOR MORE REVIEWS FROM ME!! These series' are literally saving my summer from total boredom!! :)

The Ringer

OH. MY. LANTA.

I watched "The Ringer" for the first time this week and it has quickly become my favorite comedy!! Why didn't anybody tell me about this amazing movie?!?! I'm surprised that it took me 5 years to watch this movie...it is HILARIOUS! I laugh everytime i watch it, which let me tell you has been A BAGILLION times in the last week!! I haven't stopped quoting it...just thinking about this movie makes me laugh!! If you're like me and you still haven't seen this movie? Watch it NOW!! I have the BIGGEST crush on Johnny Knoxville now, but the sad thing is that he's old enough to be my dad!! Yikes.

Oh good gracious, Johnny Knoxville!!!

Oh NO NO NO! Why, Johhny Knoxville????!!!!

"Girls don't like boys, girls like cars and money" -Good Charlotte

Oh how i love reading my old blog posts. haha. as ive been re-reading them i keep telling myself "did anybody even read this crap? i was so stupid!" from complaining about my parents to complaining about my back to complaining about a BOY...A BOY for crying out loud! I seriously thought i was more mature than that. I would like to formally apologize to anyone who had to endure reading those terrible posts. i'd like to apologize to my parents for taking up an entire post to vent about how much they didn't understand what was going on while i was recovering last summer. i know they love me and they were just trying to push me along. sure sometimes it felt like they were shoving me, but it's what i needed. And as for my back? I would do it all over again in a heartbeat...and hopefully I'd be a bit more pleasant. haha. And as for a boy...? Quite frankly, I feel like I'm still in Kindergarden and shouldn't even be talking about them. I think the real reason I talk about boys is because...that's seems to be the normal thing to do, right? Every teenage girl's life revolves around a certain boy! And as of lately it seems that every teenage girl in the world's life revolves around some kid named JUSTIN BEIBER!

seriously?

It's the norm. It's what everybody is supposed to do...In all honesty, I really don't care. I really don't care about boys. BUT DON'T GET ME WRONG...THERE ARE SOME GOOD-LOOKING BOYS OUT THERE! Right now? At age 17 turning 18? A senior in high school? I just need my group of friends, my family, my music, my tv, and my chocolate! Pathetic?....maybe...but that's all Tobie Rash needs right now in her life.

Me Update

I seriously spend so much time ranting about the things that i love in my life (music,tv,movies,etc.) that i rarely talk about MYSELF! That's what a blog is all about, right? haha. If so, I suck at it.

If there's one thing that's been on my mind lately it's this: GROWING UP! As much as I want to play the role of Peter Pan and be a kid forever, I think I'm finally coming to the reality that I am almost an adult! In 3 months, I will be 18! What?! When did that happen? For the longest time I've laughed off a lot of things like: college, institute, steady dating, and marriage but now I'm realizing that...those things are right around the corner! I mean, I apply for college THIS SUMMER!

The other day someone asked me if I'm the kind of person who reflects on the past or lives in the moment. You know what I told him? NEITHER! haha. I'm always looking ahead. I can't tell you what I wore last week, but I can sure as heck tell ya what I got lined up for this week! I'm the kind of person that HAS to know what's coming next! That's why I'm always looking up spoilers for my favorite tv shows. So you can imagine that...this whole growing up stuff?? Not exactly liking it! I don't like not knowing what I want to do with my life. I mean, I've got it narrowed down to a few things...but I don't want to wait til the end of high school or the summer after graduation to know! I want to know NOW! I've got people telling me "follow my dreams" but are my dreams even realistic? Realistic for a 17 year old LDS girl from Mesa, Arizona? Why dream big if I'm destined to settle down and have a family anyway? NOT saying that is a bad thing! I truly do want to settle down at one point, it's just all the in between stuff that's confusing me. I honestly wish I was like those people who live in the moment because it would make my life so much less stressful. And I know that once I do have it somewhat figured out...something else is gonna come my way and leave me just as confused.

No matter what happens, I head into the future with the last stanza of William Earnest Henley's poem "Invictus":

It matters not how strait the gate,
How charged with punishments the scroll.
I am the master of my fate:
I am the captain of my soul.

Mr. Arturo Trejo

Ok. I think I've finally realized that I get too wrapped up in the lives of all these youtube vloggers! But I seriously have fallen in love with the Shaytard family and now...the Trejo family (both of which are LDS and totally hilarious)

For instance...
this morning around 9 the Shaytards had their 4th kid!! :) and I was checking twitter every minute for updates...LIKE THEY WERE MY FAMILY OR SOMETHING! haha.

Isn't he adorable??? I love their family! I can't wait for them to post today's vlog!

And now...?

I am in LOVE with the Trejo family. I'm pretty sure that's not their real name because this guy is whiter than EVER...just like I'm pretty sure "Shaytards" isn't that family's last name either. They all use nicknames for privacy reasons, which I love! The Arturo Trejo family is a younger couple (Nancy and Arturo) and their toddler (Jose Luis...so not his name which makes it hilarious!)These guys are so mormon it cracks me up! They're a lot more LDS than the Shaytards too. The Shaytards are more Hollywood...but i still love them! Shay Carl mentioned this new guy he found on youtube that he originally thought was some creepy Mexican guy...but it was Arturo Trejo! And that's how I discovered them.
SERIOUSLY! CHECK THIS GUY OUT!! I GUARANTEE YOU WILL LAUGH AT EVERY ONE OF HIS VLOGS. Here are some of my favorites...

More Summer Music...

#5. Sam Means
This guy is SO awesome! You might know him from The Format and after the band split, Nate created fun. (which in my opinion is even better than the format) and Sam went on to do a solo project. He got to write and compose all of the music featured on an independant film called "The Sinking of Santa Isabel." I still haven't been able to see it yet, but based on the previews I've seen it looks hilarious...or at least something I would find pretty funny. His song "Yeah, Yeah" has been stuck in my head all summer. Everyone should definitely check him out.

Trailer for "The Sinking of Santa Isabel." (I seriously need to find this movie somewhere!)

Soundtrack to My Summer

#1. Vampire Weekend
I've been listening to Vampire Weekends new album A LOT to begin my summer. "Holiday" and "Horchata" are some of my favorite songs that I've been playing continually on my ipod. :)Vampire Weekend I've decided is the best band to listen to over the summer.




#2. Wakey! Wakey!
Have I mentioned that their new album is INCREDIBLE?! "Almost Everything", "Car Crash", and "Light Outside" are probably my favorite ones off the album.




#3. The Black Keys
They remind me a lot of The White Stripes. "Tighten Up" is the most hilarious music video! And it's such a good song.




#4. Dashboard Confessional
It's just a summer band! I don't know how to describe it. No summer mixtape is complete without a Dashboard Confessional song on it! I discovered Dashboard during the summertime. It's only appropriate to be featured on my summer soundtrack. Everything off the "Dusk and Summer" album is good for the summer.

MORE TO COME AS THE SUMMER PROGRESSES! :)

Why You So Obsessed With Me?!

can't wait til summertime when i will have time to make more videos like this!! hahahaha. so much fun!!

Best Friends

This made me think of you best friend!! especially after all that stupid crap you went through with that STUPID boy!! hahaha. this...is so true!

some more things that made me think of my best friend...




Friendship Quotes

Wakey! Wakey!

No, I'm not talking about getting out of bed and rubbing your eyes--I'm talking about the greastest band ever!!...ok, maybe that was a tid bit of an exaggeration. But I'm not kidding, this band is legit. I've found more and more that while I love listening to pop/punk bands, indie-folk/alternative music is by far my favorite. And Wakey! Wakey! definitely has an indie vibe to it. Plus, Mike Grubbs (the lead singer) is the most ridiculous piano player in the world...and trust me, I've met a great deal of talented pianists...that's a funny word "pianist" i feel funny just spelling it...ANYWAY! I first heard Wakey! Wakey! when their song "War Sweater" was featured on the 6th season finale of One Tree Hill and then again during another episode of the 7th season of One Tree Hill (FYI: a lot of my music taste can be credited to the shows i watch. hehe.) And just this week, Apple debuted Wakey! Wakey!'s newest song in the tutorial for the IPad. (Another FYI: I'm the nerd that knows these things and frequently checks to see what new inventions Steve Jobs has in store. And I'm fairly sure I've lost some of you with the mention of Steve Jobs...but if you do know who he is...YOUR COOL!!) ANYWHO! BUY THEIR ALBUM...or if you're anything like me, DOWNLOAD IT ILLEGALLY!!...he...he...he..kidding? Another, slightly less illegal action would be to ask me for a few of their songs. Yeah. That would be a lot better. Take my last suggestion!

THE SHAYTARDS

Over this 3 day weekend I have discovered and quickly become obsessed with this youtube vlogging family. For an entire year, Shay Carl or as he is known on youtube (Shaytard) has made a vlog everyday and posted it on youtube. Everyone in his family has nicknames that they always use when talking to each other.
Shay- Daddytard
Colette- Mommytard
Gavin- Sontard
Avia- Princesstard
Emmie- Babytard
Babyontheway- Fetustard

They are the absolute funniest and cutest LDS family EVER! They grew up in Pocatello, Idaho (which is screaming MORMON as it is) and then moved to Los Angeles to live by their fellow youtube friends (Barats and Bereta are among them and appear occasionally in their vlogs). A few months ago they found out that Mommytard is prego and since " in LA they charge you extra just to have a baby in the hospital Michael Jackson died in" -Daddytard, they are moving back to Idaho because the hospital expenses are cheaper and housing is cheaper than in LA. Seriously everyone should check out their videos! So entertaining and their kids are so CUTE!

FEBRUARY 13TH!!!

I am so so so super excited!! On February 13th Gina, Shelby, and I are going to see Jack's Mannequin and Fun. at the Marquee Theater. It definitely makes up for the MAJOR bummer of the Dashboard Confessional concert getting canceled. I love when I have an upcoming concert to go to because I find myself re-discovering the music that i've always loved. I can't tell you how many times these past few weeks I've played Everything In Transit on my ipod (which btw is the BEST ALBUM EVER) or woken up in the morning with the lyrics

"have you ever been alone in a crowded room"

stuck in my head!

One of the biggest reasons I'm excited for this concert is because I just bought "Dear Jack" a documentary of the lead singer of Jack's Mannequin ANDREW MCMAHON'S battle and triumph over cancer, i don't think I've seen a more inspirational and raw documentary of someone's life EVER! It made me appreciate his music and the kind of person he is even more.

My Random Thought of the Day

...so keep it steady now cause every inch you see is bruised...

~Jack's Mannequin

The Woman: A beautiful, graceful, and divine being sent from heaven...or so they say!



If we are designed to be so granduer, why is it then that we always seem to have bumps and bruises on our arms and legs (legs especially)?! I just don't get it! I have done absolutely no physical exertion this week and tried my best not to walk into any walls and STILL...bruises! WHERE DO THEY COME FROM?!

The Woman: A mysterious, clumsy, and very delicate being sent from...well yep we're still sent from heaven :)

Avatar!!

Think of Fern Gully meets Independance Day meets Pocahontas, thrown in a butt-load of blue alien like creatures and you've pretty much got Avatar. Now, don't get me wrong I originally thought this movie was going to be super weird and nerdy but in all honesty it was probably the COOLEST movie i've ever seen. The storyline was sub-par but the graphics were AMAZING! There wasn't a single moment for me when i got bored. I went on New Years Eve with Kelsey and Stephen and we all felt the same way. I think at some point i'm going to take my brothers to see it. they would LOVE it! Everyone should see this movie! It's got a pretty hippy/tree hugger theme that gets sort of weird almost cultish at some point but if you want to witness some of the best cinematography ever, then i would highly suggest you seeing Avatar!

February 5th!!!!

so i finished reading the book "Dear John" by Nicholas Sparks a few weeks ago and i LOVED IT!! i cannot wait for the movie to come out! Kelsey and I are totally going to see it together. She's reading it right now. I am so glad they chose Channing Tatum to play John! He's perfect!
Here's the trailer for the movie...
