Clearly

You cannot see it. You cannot see what I see in you. I wish you could understand. It's there. Believe me. One day I hope that I can find the right words to tell you.

Cougar?

Hypothetically speaking [not really], if I bought Justin Bieber's "One Time" CD, does that make me a cougar?

[Because if it does, I don't care]

Failure Friday

Breathtaking. Literally.

I'm In Love

It's official, guys. I can't hide it any more. I'm in looooooooove.

WITH THE OLYMPICS!

How did I just figure this out? Seriously. Everytime team USA gets on I hold my breath for them.

My favorite event, you ask? Speed skating!!!!!! [But I'm totally casual about it NOT.]

If J.R. Celski asked me to marry him right now, guys, I would say "Duh!" He is just the cutest thing I have ever seen. [Period. The end. No contest.]

Are you watching the Olympics? What's your favorite event? Who's your favorite athlete? [Celski, right?]

Fail

I know it's not Friday, but this one couldn't wait! Failure Friday Wednesday.

Sweet Jams Sunday

My bad, guys. I haven't forgotten about you. I just had a busy week.

Anyway, today is Sunday and you know what that means! Sweet Jams Sunday! And let me tell you, this is a special one for me because the Nick Jonas and the Administration CD "Who I Am" came out this week. Guys, let me tell you, there are some stellar tracks on this album! (Sidenote: this is a totally different sound from the Jonas Brothers, so you should give it a listen even if you're not a die hard fan like I am!) The best tracks in my opinion are "Olive and Arrow" and "Last Time Around." OandA has some soul to it whereas LTA has a fun Motown sound.

If his music won't win you over, don't forget: Nick J is gorgeous.

Happy Nick Jonas Day

Happy Nick Jonas Day everyone! If you haven't already done so, go and pick up the CD at Amazon for $3.99! http://bit.ly/dplVSj Or if you like a little more Nick like I do, pick it up on iTunes and get 8 in-studio performances.
