My Top 7 Songs of the Week

Before I show you guys all the songs I have for this week, I just wanted to start off by saying that I am truly sorry for not uploading for almost a year. I’ve been really busy and to make it up to all of you this week I am going to give you my top 7 songs of the week.  Usually as you have probably noticed, I only upload my top 5 but as I said to make it up to you guys here are my top 7 songs of the week!!!!

My Top 7 Songs of the Week:

1.    Centuries by Fall Out Boy

2.    First Flight Home by Jake Miller

3.    Animals by Maroon 5

4.    Voodoo Doll by 5SOS

5.    Amnesia by 5SOS

6.    Maps by Maroon 5

7.   Don’t by Ed Sheeran

1. Centuries by Fall Out Boy

        To start my list off I definitely had to put one of my jams on it, So I decided to put my top jam on which just happens to be, Centuries by Fall Out Boy. The first time I heard this song what caught my attention was the chorus:

“Some Legends are told some turn to dust and to gold

But you will remember me (remember me)

For Centuries”

This song immediately turned into my jam of the week and has been for a while. I HIGHLY recommend that if you haven’t heard this song yet to check out the song, and if you have heard it well then just watch and listen to it again by clicking here.

2. First Flight Home by Jake Miller

        Jake Miller’s song really makes me feel happy just because it does. Maybe it’s because of the lyrics, the melody, or just the singing, but I have to say that I absolutely LOVE this song so check it out right here.

3. Animals by Maroon 5

        Maroon 5 will forever be my favorite band of all time and they will probably always make it onto my list of top songs of the week. My reasoning is that they have an awesome lead singer, Adam Levine, and that their music is always really catchy and makes me sing even when I’m running on the treadmill and out of breath. Plus you have to admit Adam’s “Owwww” thing sounds really cool in this song so if you haven’t heard it yet or you just love the song as much as I do check it out right there (I bet you thought I was going to put “here” right? Well sorry but #SorryNotSorry).

4. Voodoo Doll by 5SOS

        Ahhhh what can I say about 5SOS except that Luke is bae. Nah just kidding they didn’t make it on my list just because Luke is my bae. They actually made it on here because I really like this song because it showcases what all of the members –Luke Hemmings, Michael Clifford, Ashton Irwin, and Calum Hood- can really do as artists. In my opinion this song is layed out in such a way that all of the members can show off their talents by having their own special little part. Sooooo, if you want to see some good talent check them out… right about            here.

5. Amnesia by 5SOS

        Oh Luke you made it on here again!!! I chose to put them on this list again because this song almost made me cry. I find the message to be so beautiful that I can’t even put my emotions into words. So I’ll just leave it at that and here is the music (lyric) video.

6. Maps by Maroon 5

        And we are back with Maroon 5 but this time with a different song. I chose to place this song on my list because I just love the vocals in this message and the music video because it seems like it could be a movie, a very short one but alas a movie. Therefore you can look at this masterpiece right here (and did you really think I was going to put the link on the word here in the sentence above? Awww poor person).

7. Don’t by Ed Sheeran

        Ed Sheeran has so many wonderful songs that I couldn’t decide on which one but I finally decided on this one. I chose it because I love the way he sings and I just love the chorus of this song so check it out!!

Thank you so much for checking my list out and let me know if you agree with my selection for this week and also if you don’t because I would love to hear everyone’s opinion, and see ya later!!!!!!!!!!!

My Top 5 Songs of the Week #3

Top Songs of the Week:

1. Nice Guys By: Chester See and Ryan Higa
2. Remember When (Push Rewind) By: Chris Wallace
3. Tangled By: Maroon 5
4. My Wish By: Rascal Flatts
5. Fortune Teller By: Maroon 5

           This week I decided to show you guys one of my favorite songs of all the time that has a funny video. "Nice Guys" By Chester See and Ryan Higa is my favorite song on Ryan's YouTube channel. This is one of my favorite songs because it is funny, but still has a sweet spot close to end. I have to say that one of my favorite lines is "I never open a door or pull out a chair, you can tell me how your day was, but I don't really care, and if you ever get cold you'll just have to hack it cause I'd be cold too of I gave you my jacket." "Nice Guys" is definitely a hilarious song that has the power to brighten up anyone's day.

          "Remember When" is a great song that anyone can relate to. This song is basically talking about a guy who is remembering what his girlfriend and him used to do before they broke up. He even remembers when they stole her dad's car. This is when he says "Do you remember when we stole your dad's car, I never thought we'd take it that far yeah we were flying so high yeah partners in crime so why'd we ever say goodbye." Although this song is a little bit sad because you can feel his pain, you can still see and feel the good times that he had with his ex girlfriend.

          Maroon 5 has always been my favorite band, and the song "Tangled" is one of the reasons why. "Tangle" is basically about a guy who did some bad things to a girl which he now regrets. In this song he compares himself to an insect while she is just "a helpless victim of a spider's web." This song can relate to almost all of us who have done some things we regret, and are scared to even face the person we harmed. I believe that this song is fitting for everyone, and if it isn't right for you well I congratulate you.

          Rascal Flatts has made many great songs but "My Wish" is absolutely one of their more touching songs. This song is about a guy whose girlfriend has to make many difficult choices. He is helping her choose by saying things like "And if you're faced with a choice and you have to choose I hope you choose the one that means the most to you." "My Wish" is a very touching song that could make anyone tear up a little.

          "Fortune Teller" is another song by the great band known as... Maroon 5. This song makes me laugh a little because it reminds me of one of my family members. When someone asks him a question like "What do you think will happen?" and he will answer "What do I look like a fortune teller?" Maroon 5 has made another song that makes it into my top songs. 

My Top 3 Movies of 2013

Top 3 Movies of 2013:

1. The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones

City of Bones Movie Information

2. The Call                          

The Call Movie Information

3. World War Z

World War Z Movie Information

          Now that it is the month of December I wanted to dedicate a post to a few of the many great movies that came out in the wonderful year of... 2013. December brings around the coldness, but also lets us know that a new year is coming. A new year full of great new experiences, and more great movies. Today I decided to dedicate this year's top 3 movies, to some of my favorites. These being "The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones", "The Call", and "World War Z". 

          My top movie of the year would have to be "The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones". This movie was almost equal to its book "City of Bones" and had a few things that convinced me to put it as #1 on my list. First of all, this movie had great actors, great effects, great plot, and (saving the best for last) great action scenes. Jamie Campbell Bower and Lily Collins were the main actors of this movie and in my opinion were chosen for the right roles. If you have not seen this movie yet I recommend you see it. It should be out in your choice of DVD rental location because it came out on December 3rd.

          "The Call" was very close to becoming my top 2013 movie, but I knew I wouldn't want "The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones" to not get that spot. Halle Berry was part of the reason that made "The Call" one of my top movies. She was a great choice of actress to play the character named Jordan Turner. Halle played the role of a 911 operator, and risked everything to save Casey Welson (Abigail Breslin) from being hurt and killed by Michael Foster (Micheal Eklund). "The Call" was a great movie for everyone who loves watching suspense and drama movies.

          I know that most of us love supernatural movies, and we all love zombie movies. That is why I chose "World War Z" as my 3rd top movie of 2013. Brad Pitt has yet again starred in another great movie. This time he was a critical person to save the world from a zombie invasion. He risked his life to save everyone in the world, and even the zombies that were changing people. "World War Z" is definitely a great movie for anyone who is not frightened very easily.

          I hope most of you agree with my choices, and if you have any movie recommendations for me I'll be happy to at least see part of them (depending on how scared I could get). 

Moments of Life #1

Awkward/True Moments of Life:

            

1. That amazing feeling when you hear a song you haven't heard in years and you still remember every word
2. Holding back a smile or a laugh because you are supposed to be mad at someone
3. That awkward moment when you are eating chips in a quiet room.
4. Harry Potter fans: I want to go to Hogwarts. Narnia Fans: I want to go to Narnia. Hunger Games fans: Nope, I'm good.
5. Staring at a text for 15 minutes, trying to figure out how to respond.

          Now I know that you are all wondering why I decided to make a post dedicated to the awkward/ true moments in life. My answer is that they happen all the time, and sometimes we don't even realize it until we read them in writing. So I decided to give a spotlight and round of applause to these great moments.

          These five moments could have even happened to you today. I know that these have happened to me on many occasions, well except for number four. I actually had never thought about it until I conducted my extensive search for moments of life. At one point in life one of these has happened, and don't even try to deny it.

          Life is something that we shouldn't take for granted, but we should make the most of it. One of the ways I do this is by laughing every day. If you are ever feeling down take out your Smartphone, computer, iPad, iPod, or iPad mini and look up funny jokes. You can even talk to your friends, which I'm pretty sure will come up with something dumb/ funny to do (Not saying that you should do something dumb, make wise decisions!). 

          I hope that this post has brightened up your day/night, and made you laugh or at least chuckle. Let me know if you have more awkward/true moments of life, and they will probably be in the future "Moments of Life!" Now go out or stay in, and have many great days in the future days to come!

Book of the Week #4

The Shadowhunters' Codex

By: Cassandra Clare and Joshua Lewis

The Shadowhunters' Codex

          Cassandra Clare has made another great book, but this time with the help of Joshua Lewis. "The Shadowhunters' Codex" is for everyone who has read at least one of Cassandra Clare's Shadowhunter books, and had many questions about shadowhunters. I was one of those people that fell in love with her books, and wanted to know all about the rules of the shadowhunters. I know some of you may not have read any of these stories, and I encourage you to give them a try. I reccomend that you start with "The Mortal Instruments" Series before you read "The Shadowhunters' Codex."

          This book has all of the rules that a shadowhunter needs. It comes with descriptions of Downworlders, The Shadow World, and many other rules/ recommendations. "The Shadowhunters' Codex" has a special treat in store for everyone who has read "The Mortal Instruments." If you thought that you would only hear from Jace, Clary, Alec, Simon, Isabelle, and Magnus in "The Mortal Instruments" then you were wrong. 

          You will hear from them in this shadowhunter guide. Along the edges of the pages you can read Jace, Clary, and Simon's opinions of the information about different topics. This book even features an essay written by Magnus on why people become shadowhunters. It also has a training schedule for Clary written by Jace, and has Clary's schedule written by her to show what she really did. When you read that you will be able to see how Clary clearly followed Jace's hard schedule.

          Once you have realized that you love Cassandra Clare's shadowhunter stories, you should read "The Shadowhunters' Codex" as soon as you can get your hands on it. 

     

My Top 5 Songs of the Week #2

Top Songs of the Week:

1. Endlessly By: The CAB
2. The Way You Look Tonight By: Maroon 5 (a Frank Sinatra Cover)
3. Demons By: Imagine Dragons
4. 50 Ways To Say Goodbye By: Train
5. Forever and Always By: Parachute

          As usual all of us music lovers know that sometimes the best songs are a bit older. In fact, most of us have favorite songs that are really old, but still remain at the top of our list.

          The #1 spot on my list this week goes out to...(drum roll please) The CAB with their song Endlessly. The Cab has many great songs that you'll probably be hearing from on My Top 5 Songs of the Week. Endlessly is a song about a guy who is willing to do anything for a girl he likes. This guy is also saying that although they are both different he knows that he is perfect for her. This song is very sweet and I would imagine that anyone could fall in love with this song.

          Maroon 5 has also made it to my list with their cover of Frank Sinatra's The Way You Look Tonight. This song was in the movie "Valentine's Day." The Way You Look Tonight is a classic in the music world, and if you have not heard it I stand with most people who would say... you have not lived.

          Imagine Dragons has made another great song, called Demons. In this song the character is trying to say that you should stay a way from him because he is not a good person on the inside. this is shown when a part in the song says "Don't get too close it's dark inside it's where my demons hide it's where my demons hide." Demons is a great song that is not long, but can make you remember it due to its catchy melody.

          Train has another great song called 50 Ways To Say Goodbye. Originally this song was called 50 Ways To Say You Died, but they had to change the title. Their original song title makes more sense considering that some of the lyrics go like this "She went down in an airplane fried getting suntan fell in a cement mixer full of quicksand."

          Forever and Always By: Parachute is a great yet, sad and touching song. This song is basically narrating a situation in which people around the world have experienced. Forever and Always talks about a woman who gets a call from the hospital that her fiance has been injured. She then goes to the hospital, but even though she does many things to try to keep him with her he ends up dying after saying "I'll love you forever, forever and always please just remember even if I'm not there I'll always love you, forever and always."

Believe Me I'm Lying on Wattpad

           This Week’s book of the week is another Wattpad story. “Believe Me I’m Lying” is a great story for people who like funny romance stories. These funny romance stories involve funny events with great characters, great jokes and comments, but still maintains a slight romantic feel to it.

          “Believe Me I’m Lying” is not only a funny romance story, but it also has a bit of sadness sprinkled here and there. This story has funny characters that are hilarious at times, yet when they are serious they could be the sweetest “people” you would ever know.

          Harley Allen, a seventeen year old girl, lost both of her parents. Now the only person Harley has left is her little brother, Elliot. Harley finds herself worrying more than a seventeen year old should. In addition, to having to take care of her brother Harley also loses her current job.

          Now Harley has no idea what to do next, but what happens when her uncle offers her a job. Only this job has a catch, Harley must work as a teacher at his school. A school that just happens to be for delinquents…

          “Believe Me I’m Lying” allows you to see from Harley’s point of view. It also lets you know that although life has its ups and downs, they are all worth it once you find what makes you happy.
