My First Blog!

Hello Bloggerverse (is that a word?)!!!

Anyway, I realize that every day, I come across sooo many random things, such as videos, pictures, stuff people say, etc. and I've been putting them on facebook and twitter and why not have a blog where I can post these things and have more than 140 characters to talk about it!

So welcome to the world little baby blog :-D

I give some of the credit to me writing a blog to Samantha Russo (who is in my awesome Acapella group, Noteworthy) she has her own blog, Tales of a So-Called Bitch...I recently saw that she had one and I've been on the fence about making one, but I finally decided to just do it! So, thank you samantha!!! And I know if I ever said anything bad about you, you'd verbally beat the $#*! out of me! Love you!

Alright, now to get down to stuff that is interesting that I've seen today.

IN THE HEIGHTS IS CLOSING JANUARY 9th

Story from Playbill

Lin-Manuel Miranda & Cast of In The Heights

For those of you who don't know what In The Heights is, well you must live on another planet! In The Heights is the story of a bodega owner, Usnavi, and his life in Washington Heights. There is love, a winning lottery ticket ($96,000), and of course, SINGING!!! It's a mix of latino music, rapping, and broadway and it is a perfect blend! It won 4 Tony Awards in 2008, including Best Musical. The show is hands down one of the best shows I've ever seen! I loved it so much, I saw it twice and because of it's closing I might have to see it again! Lin-Manuel Miranda, who played Usnavi in the original cast, started writing In The Heights when he was 19 years old because he missed home while he was in college (story of my life!). He wrote everything from the lines to the music and it is amazing! What's even more amazing is that he is coming back to the cast to end the show. From December 25th to January 9th, Lin-Manuel Miranda will reprise his role as Usnavi on Broadway! If you have a chance to see this show before it closes, SEE IT! It is so good and you really will love it, I promise! Notable stars who have appeared in the show: Corbin Bleu of High School Musical fame as Usnavi and Jordin Sparks of American Idol fame as Nina. And for all you true theatre fans, Robin De Jusus from Camp played Usnavi's goofy cousin, Sonny. GO SEE THIS SHOW BEFORE IT CLOSES!!!

JEREMY PIVEN TO PLAY VILLAIN IN SPY KIDS 4: ALL THE TIME IN THE WORLD
Alexa Vega & Daryl Sabara (Original Spy Kids) to Make Appearance in the Movie
Story from SlashFilm

Jeremy Piven to be villian, Timekeeper

Yep, you heard me right! Ari Gold is playing the Spy Kids newest villian. Basically, Jessica Alba is an ex-OSS agent and she has twin children who have to become the new Spy Kids. Joel McHale (from The Soup) is Jessica Alba's husband, so that should be hilarious! Jeremy Piven's character, Timekeeper threatens to take over the world, forcing Alba back into the OSS and she brings her children with her. When I first found out that Robert Rodriquez decided to make a 4th Spy Kids movie without it being based around the original Spy Kids, I was so mad! How can you do it without Juni and Carmen?!?! Luckily, the two original Spy Kids will make an appearance in the new movie to help out the new Spy Kids. They are very far from kids these days though! Alexa Vega just got married and Daryl Sabara was just a badass in Machete! Apparently Antonio Banderas and Danny Trejo will make appearances in the film as well, reprising their roles as Gregorio Cortez and Machete (his brother).

JUSTIN BIEBER BIOPIC/DOCUMENTARY TO HIT THEATERS IN 2011
Story From SlashFilm

Never Say Never poster

The shit has hit the fan! Justin Bieber is coming out with his own biopic/documentary! Basically 8 mile but with Justin Bieber. I seriously find it amazing that Justin Bieber has barely even been in the public's eye for more than 2 years and he already has a biopic about his life! The kid is 16 years old! Like his ego wasn't already big enough! I honestly do not think that he needs a movie to document his super short career! I will not lie, Justin Bieber has some very catchy songs and is doing very well for himself, but he does not deserve his own biopic yet. The trailer was recently released and I saw it for the first time today which is why I'm writing about it. At the beginning in big letters it says things like "THEY SAID IT WOULD NEVER HAPPEN" and "THEY SAID HE WOULD NEVER MAKE IT"....one question: Who the f*** are they?!?!?! I really don't know who cared that much about Justin Bieber's life to question him making it or not. And the sad fact is, that although I'm sitting here semi-bashing Justin Bieber and his biopic, I will probably 100% go see this movie! The kid is doing well for himself. He's only 16 and he is this big? I'm sitting in a college dorm room while he is making millions and he's 2 years younger than me! Some say he's gonna be done in a couple years after puberty hits, but who knows, look what happened to Michael Jackson (RIP). No, I am not comparing Justin Bieber to Michael Jackson, that would be blasphemy, but I am saying, you never know, in a couple of years he could really show us something. But that's all hypothetical and we don't know what will happen. But right now, if Michael Jackson is considered the King of Pop, I'd consider Justin Bieber as the Court Jester of Pop...but give him time...maybe he'll surprise us? Here is the long-awaited trailer for Justin Bieber's Biopic "Never Say Never" (watch it in HD, it makes it more enjoyable!):

So that's all for now! I think that this was a pretty successful first blog post!

If you like what you read today, come back and read again...and if you didn't "GO F*** YOURSELF!" Only joking, come back tomorrow and see if you like that. These are the things that I live, see, and hear everyday, they interest me and I hope they interest you. Thanks for checking out my blog!

I find this interesting, so you should too :-D
