That’s the question actually – what am I doing with my life? Why did I pick a business with a 2% success rate? A business where not being successful by the age of like 16 is seen negatively?
Sure, I could name all the reasons why I love film and writing and how they both come so naturally to me, but it doesn’t really seem to calm my mind. I’m currently sitting in my bedroom, reading stories of all these 18-20 year olds who already have number one selling albums in multiple countries, have been in 20 different successful movies, touring around the world…BUYING THEIR OWN HOUSES! They’re 16 years old, why do they need their own house?
It’s even more frustrating to know that I picked a business where you get places based on association. Want to know how many people I know that could help me break into the business? Oh that’s right, no one.
Excuse my rotten attitude today, I’ve just been doing a lot of thinking and it’s led to this. I promise I’ll be nice and cheery in the next post.
I’ll admit, I was afraid to admit that I began to like these teeny songs that have been playing constantly on the radio. I’m almost 21 years old, I thought I was way too mature for songs about phone calls or by boy bands (unless they were boy bands that I had grown up with). Clearly, I was wrong.
So what songs, you ask? I’m sure you know of them.
1) Carly Rae Jepsen – Call Me Maybe.
It all started with watching the video of celebrities such as the Beibs, Selena Gomez, and Ashley Tisdale lip synching in some mansion that had taken the internet by storm. It took a matter of hours for everyone in the world to become obsessed with the song – Facebook status’ galore, tweets of the lyrics…you name it, it was everywhere.
So I looked up the song, listened to it a few times and that was it. That was all I needed. It’s one of those songs that you just can’t get out of your head. It’s a stupid song – who cares about if a boy calls you back or not? – but it’s relatable at the same time. I’ve gone through that.
For me now, however, the song is no longer Call Me Maybe. It has been forever turned into Call Me Krecji, after the Boston Bruins player David Krecji.
2) One Direction – What Makes You Beautiful.
This story is very similar to the Call Me Maybe ordeal. Boy bands seem to be making a comeback these days, everyone from the Backstreet Boys to 98 Degrees are getting back together. Everyone except NSYNC – that’ll be a different post. Anyways, my cousin kept talking about this amazing boy band, saying that she had officially become a “directioner.” She had told me numerous times to at least give them a listen, and I did, but found them very annoying.
Now, the song is ALL over the radio and internet – celebrities are obsessed with them, they’re even getting the Glee treatment tonight in the prom episode. I guess they’re the real deal. Like the previous song, it’s grown on me and I find myself constantly singing it. I only know the first few lyrics of the chorus, but it’s enough to get stuck in my head and never leave.
In Too Deep is my personal Tumblr site. I don’t talk a lot and post mainly about entertainment – TV shows, movies, and sports. There’s an occasional post of an inspiring quote or landscape, but not a lot.

So, it’s 11:42pm here and as usual, I’m bored out of my mind. I could write or I could pinterest (which is so addicting), but I find myself on Youtube. This will never ever ever get old. Never.
Also, it’s such a shame that these two broke up. They were perfect together.
I know it’s old, but this special will never get old for me. I was just watching it with my younger brother and I thought I would share one of my favorite parts. The fact that Shaq and Lebron are in the audience while he’s talking about them makes it even better.
First off, I’m a huge sports nerd, especially football. I’m the kind of girl who cares more about who’s winning a game than the newest fashion trends. Second, I am absolutely in love with (times a million) the player I’m about to talk about. This definitely won’t be the last time you hear about him.
Mark Sanchez. In a non-football perspective, he’s like the perfect man. He’s gorgeous, a momma’s boy, he values family, and he can speak a different language – romantic! Not to mention that he and I have a lot in common, from what I hear in interviews of course. He loves wine, soccer, and Broadway. What’s not to love?
Before you say “Oh, she only likes him because he’s a pretty boy” – I actually followed him before I even knew who he was when he was the backup quarterback at the University of Southern California under Matt Leinart. I always wanted to go to USC for film school, so I decided to become a fan of their athletics to prepare myself for when I went to school there. Nope, that didn’t happen. But, I still follow their sports as if I did.
Anyways, Mark is now the quarterback for the New York Jets (much closer to where I live than California). Lately, everyone’s been speculating where Peyton Manning will choose to play since he was released from the Colts earlier this week. One of the options was the Jets. To be honest, I was freaking out because I knew that if they acquired Manning, Mark wouldn’t stay there. The only other team(s) I would’ve approve of would’ve been DC – I live 30 minutes from there – or Pittsburgh. And lets face it, Pittsburgh doesn’t need him…they already have like 5 QBs.
So why the long post about Mark? Well, he signed a 5-year contract extension tonight. In secret. So, that means he’s officially the Jets starting quarterback for at least a few more years and that Peyton is no longer in their interest. Yay, Mark! He deserves the opportunity to redeem himself from last season’s train-wreck. He possesses all of the necessary skills to win a Superbowl; hey, he’s come pretty close the first two years of his NFL career. He just needs the right coaches and players around him so that they can help him improve and become the QB he’s capable of being.
Naturally, because I’m a fan of Mark – and “fan” might be an understatement – I’m a Jets fan. But you should know that my number one team is the Pittsburgh Steelers. That information is for a different post. For now, I’ll leave you with a couple of my favorite moments from Hard Knocks, a mini-documentary from HBO that followed the Jets during their 2010 preseason.
I’m a big country fan and Lady Antebellum has quickly become one of my favorite country bands. Their sound is so unique and you can feel the chemistry seep through the words. I love most of their songs, but this song in particular really struck a chord with me. I relate to it really well.
You know what I hate? I had a really good hair day today. The style was totally unintentional – I put it up into a messy bun when putting on my makeup – and it looked so good that I pulled my bangs back and left it like that for the day.
1 – I didn’t see anyone, meaning guys, that would appreciate it.
2 – I realized that that hair style will never be duplicated again. I will never be able to have my hair look like that every again.
Does anyone else have this problem? It’s so frustrating.
