Movie of the Week? Song of the Week?

Hey everyone!

So, if you follow me on Twitter or LIKE my public Facebook page - you will know that I have postponed the first movie of the week post. I will explain more in depth at why I decided that. I was ready to have a movie of the week post done but the movie(s) that I was planning to do it on was going to lead to a very long post and for some reason nothing was coming to my mind at how to start the post. I posted on Friday on my twitter and public Facebook page that I was going to do it on Saturday but some where along the way, Saturday came and gone, and I still wasn't happy with the post that I was writing. So I decided that I would not post it for week one. I am planning on using the same movie(s) for this week so I am going to try my hardest to have a movie of the week done for this week, it's either going to be Friday or Saturday (most like Saturday as Friday is usually part two of my family's Thanksgiving festivities). I hope you all understand. I explained to you when I first came up with this idea that there would be a couple times where there won't be a post that day.

So now we are onto week two. As you see in the title of this post, there is a question mark after song of the week meaning I do not think there will be a new song of the week for this week because well I'm having a hard time to pick one..lol..I have over 1,000 songs on my iPod. But that's not the only reason - another reason is because I want to continue from last week which was "The Heart Wants What It Wants" by Selena Gomez.

I'm not really going to discuss too much more about the song (see song of the week post for more) but I want to talk about Selena's performance at the AMAs last night (November 21, 2014). Have you seen it? If not, here is the video from her Vevo page:

I was looking forward to this performance ever since I first heard the song because I knew it would be an emotional one. There were critics that said she can't sing live, she will ruin the song, etc. But, I have to say yes she's not the best singer but she holds her own and I enjoyed this performance. It was very real. You could feel the emotion coming through the television/computer screen. The background was perfect. It went right with the song. The whole performance was simple but emotional. She also at one point near the end of the song whispered to herself "Thank you Jesus." Yes, beliebers, it was "Thank you Jesus," not "thank you Justin," or "I love you Justin." Please....be real here.

I have read some of the comments under performance video and there were many supporters and of course many critics. I was disappointed at some of those critics. Some were saying that Selena should just get over him. "Stop singing about him." "We're tired of it." Well excuse me, how come it was ok for Justin to write a whole album about Selena but it's not ok for her to sing one? Do you know what she went through? Do you know what they went through? No. None of us truly do. But her. But him. But their friends and family. Stop judging someone who you personally don't know. She is using this song to bring peace back into her life as she has said that sharing this song has already slowly but surely is helping her.

It has been said that it is important to let things out, rather than keeping it hidden away. Like I have said, in the first post about this song, she kept this to herself for a year. It was probably not helping her to keep it just to herself so she decided to share it. Why can't you let her have this one thing? Let her use music to help her move on, help her heal, help her bring peace to her life. She is just like the rest of us. She is human. Let her be.

I am proud of Selena for being brave and sharing with us, the rest of the world, this song that is so personal to her. I am also happy that she has friends like Taylor Swift who can be there for her before and after her performance; and through what caused the pain.

I will always support her, no matter what happens and I'm glad that she has other fans/supporters that do the same.

Also before I end this: as of right now - the single is now #2 on the iTunes chart and the music video for the song is #1.

Well, I think that's it for now. I will leave you with one more thought. We all go through things. We all have our own different ways to move pass those things. Do not judge someone's different way if they aren't the way you believe is right.

Thank you and that is all for tonight.

Until Next Time!

Show of the Week - Week One - Boy Meets World/Girl Meets World

Hey Everyone!

This is the first post for show of the week! I decided that it would be on Boy Meets World, as well as Girl Meets World as it is the spin-off.

Boy Meets World was about the life Cory Matthews, his family and friends. It started out with him in six grade dealing with middle school, then he goes to high school dealing with bullies, relationships, life choices, and then it continued on to college. For seven seasons, Boy Meets World was on Fridays on ABC during the 90s.

Cast were as followed (actor: character) [from IMDB]:

Ben Savage: Cory Matthews
William Daniels: Mr. George Feeny (history teacher/professor and neighbor)
Rider Strong: Shawn Hunter (best friend of Cory)
Betsy Randle: Amy Matthews (mother of Cory)
Will Friedle: Eric Matthews (older brother of Cory)
William Russ: Alan Matthews (father of Cory)
Danielle Fishel: Topanga Lawrence/Matthews (girlfriend/wife of Cory)
Lindsay Ridgeway: Morgan Matthews (second Morgan) (little sister of Cory)
Matthew Lawrence: Jack Hunter (brother of Shawn  and Eric's roommate)
Trina McGee: Angela Moore (best friend of Topanga and Shawn's girlfriend)
Anthony Tyler Quinn: Mr. Jonathan Turner (high school teacher and once was unofficial Shawn's guardian)
Maitland Ward: Rachel McGuire (Eric and Jack's roommate then Angela's roommate)
Lily Nicksay: Morgan Matthews (first Morgan) (little sister of Cory)
MORE 

Throughout this series, in every episode - there was a life lesson that was taught. Whether it has to do with family, friends, school, bullies, etc., there was a lesson to be taught. Mr. Feeny became everyone's favorite teacher as he was the guy teaching those lessons. Cory and Topanga became the couple who everyone looked up to, including Shawn. Cory and Shawn were the best friends that taught everyone that it is important to have a close friend in their lives.

From sixth grade to college, you can see changes throughout the characters. They grow mature, build strong relationships with one another, and learn the life lessons they need to continue.

Some of the quotes from Boy Meets World:

"Mr. Fe... he... he... heenay!" - Eric
"Believe in yourselves. Dream. Try. Do Good." - Mr. Feeny
"It's not what you look like on the outside that matters. It's what kind of person you are." - Topanga
"Lose one friend. Lose all friends. Lose yourself." - Plays With Squirrels (Eric)
"Unfortunately we live in a society where they tell us we have to look a certain way so we're all under pressure to live up to unrealistic expectations." - Mr. Feeny

There are plenty more of quotes from the show but there are too many good ones to put them all in this post.  I have found a tribute video on YouTube that someone has made for Boy Meets World and I placed it on here. Check it out:

There are still reruns of Boy Meets World on both ABC Family and MTV so go check it out! Boy Meets World may have ended in 2000 but it will always be around.

This leaves me to the next show! Little more than a decade has passed since Boy Meets World ended and of course, we all miss the characters and life lessons so Disney and the creators of BMW have decided to bring it back! Girl Meets World aired it's first episode on June 27, 2014.

Girl Meets World is about Cory and Topanga's daughter, Riley who is now going to be facing life lessons through her family, friends, and school just as her parents did. Cory is now a history teacher in the school, as well as being her teacher. Riley has a best friend, Maya who seems to be the Shawn in GMW, she also has a friend named Farkle who is the son of Stewart Minkus (another character from BMW), and a new friend, Lucas who seems to be the Topanga of the show. At least, this is what everyone sees as these characters. Only time will tell.

Cast is as followed:

Rowan Blanchard: Riley Matthews
Ben Savage: Cory Matthews
Sabrina Carpenter: Maya Hart (best friend of Riley)
Peyton Meyer: Lucas Friar (new boy in town and friend of Riley)
Danielle Fishel: Topanga Matthews
August Maturo: Auggie Matthews (little brother of Riley)
Corey Fogelmanis: Farkle Minkus (friend of Riley and Maya)

So far, in my opinion, this show has great potential to be something big. Will it be as big as Boy Meets World? No one really knows and can say as BMW was a classic. Do I think people should keep giving Girl Meets World a chance? Yes. Because kids today need a show like this around. A show where life lessons are taught, just as Boy Meets World was for us. If you're an adult (as I am), you should also be watching because it brings back memories of the past, especially when familiar faces start to pop up.

There isn't much more to say about Girl Meets World as it is still growing. Let's keep it growing by watching it every Friday on Disney Channel at 8 PM ET! Shawn will be returning soon for a holiday episode, as well as the parents so keep an eye out for that!

Here is the trailer for Girl Meets World (from Disney Channel's YouTube page):

Remember to continue to support the Girl Meets World cast!

Hope you enjoyed the first Show of the Week post. This Friday will be the first movie of the week post. Have an awesome day!

Until Next Time

Song of the Week - Week One - The Heart Wants What It Wants

Hey Everyone!

I have decided that I will do my weekly plan that I wrote about in my last post. Well, right now the plan is that on Mondays, I will be doing a song of the week; on Wednesdays, I will be doing show of the week; and on Fridays, I will be doing movie of the week. Now remember these are going to me my personal favorites and I am open for anyone to comment on the posts (even on my other posts that don't involve the weekly plan). As I am doing the weekly plan, I will continue to write other posts when things come up.

So here we go! Time for Week One.

The song for this week will be Selena Gomez's new single "The Heart Wants What It Wants."

Even before we start listening to the song, we can picture what the song is about by just looking at the title and also looking into "who" the song could be about. The title makes an impact on many things but with this particular title - many people go through heartaches and deal with people telling them that what they are doing is wrong because it's hurting themselves but what if you can't help it? what if what your heart wants is not good for you? Do you listen to your heart or your brain? Especially if each one is telling you something differently. This is exactly what this song is saying.

We all know who this song is about. Even before Selena confirmed it to Ryan Seacrest on his radio show. We can just look at her relationship, the relationship that has been public for the past few years. The relationship that everyone seems to have an opinion on. Selena Gomez and Justin Bieber. (I am keeping my personal feelings about Bieber out of this post) Their relationship has been up and down for the past year/longer than a year. We don't know for sure everything.

But with this song, we can a glimpse of the inside, the inside of how Selena was dealing with everything has has been going on. She says this song was written and the video was filmed, a year ago. It makes you wonder, if it was written now or filmed now - would it be even more emotional than it is now? Honestly, either way - it is an emotional song that even if you haven't gone through what she has gone through or feel the kind of up and down love before, you can feel the emotion. Everyone has at least asked once in their life - should I listen to my heart, my head, or the people around me?

In order to feel the real emotion behind the song, you need to watch the video - listen from the beginning (starting with Selena's monologue), listen to every lyric, watch every moment. Don't miss a second. You can watch the video below:

To me, this song right now is one of Selena's best songs that she has sung. First, would be Who Says and then this song would be second. That is my opinion. Both songs have a powerful meaning behind them that anyone can listen to and feel something while listening to them.

There are many supporters behind Selena for this song. Selenators who have supported her since the beginning of her career, new fans because of this song (some who used to think she couldn't sing until this song), and her friends & family. But, there also have been those who haven't changed their thoughts about Selena but even have mentioned that she's "using" Bieber for fame, she's playing the "victim," etc. I, honestly don't know what to say to those people.

You have a girl who is 22 years old still trying to find out who she is in life and she has been through things that not many of us know about and she is sharing a small glimpse of her life with Justin. Singers and songwriters use music to let their emotions out instead of hiding them away inside which can be unhealthy. I give Selena a lot of credit for her sharing this song with the rest of the world. She could've just kept this a secret for just herself, for longer than a year (that she has).

I love this song and I can feel the emotion through the song; and I feel that more people should be listening to it and letting it touch your music soul. Also, if you want more background behind the song - make sure you watch Selena's interview with Ryan Seacrest about the song!

This Sunday, November 23 - Selena Gomez will be performing "The Heart Wants What it Wants" LIVE for the first time at the American Music Awards on ABC starting at 8 PM ET.

Well, that's it for the first song of the week post! Hope you enjoyed it. Please leave comment below if  you would like!

Until Next Time

New Weekly Plan!

Hey Everyone!

I have been trying to figure out a way to update my blog more often! I tweeted out yesterday asking my followers, other tweeters, and bloggers if they had any ideas for what I can post but unfortunately, I received no feedback...HOWEVER, once I tweeted that tweet - ideas just started coming to my mind. I thought about writing about music, movies, and shows. but I realized that one post would not be enough for either of those subjects so I have thought about a way how I can write a lot without writing a lot.

This brings me to the title of this blog post - New Weekly Plan! - and I will explain exactly what that is or what it could be. I was thinking about doing a weekly thing where I write a post about a particular song, movie, or show. The title of these posts would be - Song of the Week; Movie of the Week; Show of the week. These will be of my favorite music, movies, and shows. Now, I'm not sure if I'll do all three every week but that is an option that I am thinking about doing.

I, of course, will still be writing other posts if and when anything else comes up in my life but I thought this would be something exciting to try and a great way for you, my readers, to be involved! You can share your input on what I choose at the song/show/movie of the week.

I am still figuring out the exact details of with me doing this but I am excited for this plan of mine and I'm hoping that you will be too! I am also hoping that I will stick with this because I'm not sure if I'll have as many shows/movies as I do with songs, but we will see what happens as the time goes on.

Please let me know what you think in the comments below. (I am going to try and get started this weekend with my first weekly posts) Have a great day and week!

Until Next Time
