American Idol: Hollywood Week, Last Week. The End.
So like I promised, I was not going to watch American Idol anymore. I lied, but not completely. I saw the first 20 minutes of it, got bored and then quit indefinitely. I can't put my finger on what made me turn it off but I decided enough was enough.
It wasn't Ellen, although I still have no idea why she is on there. Yes, I like her show. Yes, I think she's funny. No, I don't think she has anything to do with music except be a fan of music. I'm a fan of music, I should be a judge! However, I do see the connection that she is a performer and she gave great advice for that, but I just wasn't digging it.
The only part that I really liked was Andrew Garcia. What ruined it was Kara "a-ha" moment realising what he was singing. Like you have a job in music industry, right? You worked with that woman, right? You should know this, RIGHT? Then I turned it off. No, I turned it off right after the girl from Tennessee who never been on an "aeroplane" killed her audition. Poor girl :(.
Then I was done. I think it could of been a lot of factors that led me to this decision to break up with Idol. I think the icing on the cake was hearing the possibility of Howard Stern replacing Simon. Now I just think Simon Fuller doesn't care anymore.
It's been nice knowing Idol. I am sure something new will come along soon and then I will get bored with it as well.
Check out Kara's "a-ha" reaction. Just focus on that alone. Does it annoy you too?

TV last night
I usually get out of work at 6:30pm and have a ridiculous commute home because it's towards the end of rush hour in the bay area. However yesterday I left about 15 minutes late because it was a rough session. As I am about to pull off on to a storm of unnecessary traffic I realize, that this is the Dallas audition of American Idol and Joe Jonas is the guest judge. Panic ensues and I beg to get home in time while I am moving 5 mph and the Prius in front of me lets everyone and their mother cut them off.
However I made it right at the stroke of 8pm and rushed into the kitchen, turned on the television and who do I see..... Doogie Houser! WHAT! Don't get me wrong I love me some Neil Patrick Harris but this is not what I wanted. This is not what I rushed home to see. I will give him credit he was a great guest judge from the little that I actually paid attention to but still, where is my Joe Jonas! It seems like 45 minutes later, he shows up. And it was very short and boring. Heart is crushed, ego is deflated and now I am just left being a pathetic 20 something year old who rushed home from work to watch 15 minutes of a Jonas Brother, It's a harsh reality.
I mean they show HOURS of American Idol on Fox like every year and you're going to tell me that you are going show like 15 minutes of a part that I actually wanted to see! I mean where are the crazy people? Was Dallas not crazy enough for you? No disrespect to Dallas, but there are crazy people everywhere. It's just a fact.
This episode marked my last time that I will watch American Idol until the finale. However, I think I may watch Hollywood week because I want to see how Ellen mixes in but most likely not. Its a sad realization but one I must live with.
I wasn't the only one who thought last night was a bit off. Sorry Joe, I still think it wasn't your fault. http://popwatch.ew.com/2010/01/28/joe-jonas-american-idol-guest-judge/

What's a Resolution?
A New Year's resolution is a commitment that an individual makes to a project or the reforming of a habit, often a lifestyle change that is generally interpreted as advantageous. The name comes from the fact that these commitments normally go into effect on New Year's Day.
Thanks Wikipedia!
So I normally don't believe in resolutions really because I never made one. But this year I wrote stuff down and have it hanging on the side of my mirror taunting me every second of the day.
So one of my top priorities was to shed the pounds. Like Paula said she has a wedding dress to fit into. Thanks to Paula and three of my other friends I have a bride's maid dress, two maid of honor dresses (for the same wedding) and other dresses I would like to fit into for weddings. Thanks guys. I have four weddings to go to this year and two them I am actually in them.
I began my weight loss journey sometime last year when I join 24-hour fitness and the results are non existing because I go once in a while. Not only is it eating away at my wallet, it's also taunting me and calling me fat. But I do pledge to get back on track. I will never look like Barbie, I don't plan to. I like my curves and I am going to keep it that way but not a whole curve but curvy.
So hopefully it works out. Not only is hard to go to all those weddings but its hard to go to them a fatty! It's me vs. the list of "resolutions" and I plan to kick butt.
What was your resolution?
According to USA.gov these are the most popular new year's resolutions. Some of these look familiar.....

New Year Resolutions and Breaking them
So this year I pledge to lose weight!
Over millions, upon millions have these words falling from their mouths at the crack of midnight on new years eve. Perhaps not exactly at the turn of the hour, minute or second. But soon after they realized they have just made out with some complete stranger, have the essence of "barf" breathe in their mouths, and have hugged several toilets before their journey of passing out, they than can say I think my new year's resolution is......
So unlike every American I decided to start loosing weight before the new year, Dec 29 to be exact. I figured hey why not get a head start to snatch all those "Fresh" veggies, and salads that we all crave and loose the fat. Actually after watching myself slowing but surely increase the numbers on my white platinum scale that we have on our shiny metallic tile, I began to see my eyes bulge in fear almost terror, of knowing the inevitable was happening. My wedding dress was not going to fit.
Would it be possible to unleash all the buttons with just the inch or release of breathing. Would it be possible to not breathe for over an hour? I guess that's not really possible so I decided to go on my journey of not eating carbs. Some would think this is almost barbaric, a tragedy, like death, how could you do this to your body, what are you thinking type of event.... Well I did. For a week and half I've been doing low carb, no more than 20 grams a day.. up until today.
The day started off normal, wake up, get a shower, watch a little Ellen, do a little jig, and go to the gym, to work, etc... So today was my day off, I slept a little longer, and lurked around my apartment until the hunger in my stomach told me I NEEDED CARBS...With this feeling, images of burgers, french fries, candy, cake, potatoes, mashed potatoes, twice baked potatoes, did I mention cake? O yes, milk shakes, and these lovely things from GOD called Mocha shakes from a coffee shop Port City Java, and along with all these images came in and out image of the greatest chicken sandwich you can think of. Chick-fil-a. Why was it so great, it's rich natured white breasted chicken drenched in oil with the hint of seasoning, caressed into a buttery succulent bun that is adored with a simplistic pickle that cradles all these flavors into one, and not only do you get such of an array of flavors waiting to jump into your mouth, you can also have the great feeling of a waffle fry.
= 
My New Year's resolution has been broken, years of tradition gone to waste. Now what.. What can I show for myself? Well, those 9 pounds I lost will probably come rushing back into my waist line and that glorious scale that is my bathroom. And now, I feel terrible.
My stomach feels like it's going to explode with the thought of anything coming near it. My mouth is dry thirsting for water because of the amount of sugars that hit it were so unbearable it doesn't know whether to salivate or dehydrate itself. Not only does my stomach hurt, I'd like to vomit all this crap up but unfortunately that would classify my eating habits as a medial condition. So for now,I'll wallow in my depressed state of mind of how eating away your new year's resolution is not worth it.
When you get those cravings and all those glorious pictures of everything you "think" you want and can't have...read my post and it'll be your saviour of not breaking your new year's resolution. Now I have to start all over again, and drain my body of the 100 grams I had within a lunch period. Not fun. Don't try it, and stay with your program.

bloggers unite
Bloggin mania! To be a blogger what exactly does that make you?
So now I’ve entered this new world of creativity and diverse intelligence. The ability to throw your ideas and not be persecuted for your ideals or defenses. I think this outlet is ideal for everyone and how great would it be if you could just blog out a problem instead of using mass destruction! How about it world, let’s use our fingers put them o so gently on that keyboard that has accumulated dust, french fries residue, nail chippings, and other food and drink particle stains on it, and I don’t know, use it. I think we should all devote a minute of our day to express the way we feel in today’s tainted and jaded world. What makes a celebrity, a celebrity, why can’t a nurse, doctor, or even an “educator” be a celebrity? Are their lives not as interesting or can’t be as interesting as Paris Hilton the social élite? Or even the musically inclined Mariah Carey’s wos of speak while drunk. Perhaps this is a new invention, make the unheard heard, and to make the unseen seen, and to let the world know there are people behind the words, and unfortunately words to hurt, words can change a village, and words aren’t from venus or mars, there from you. So why not express use our freedom of speech and attack the hate, the filth, the evil, and denounce all of it with pride, freedom and peace. Maybe we can move forward and create a wonderful thing.
So probably not, and it probably won’t catch on, unfortunately. Too bad you can’t make a peace inspired sex video, I’m sure than peace would catch on. Maybe we can cast, all the so called celebrities who have their own in it, fighting crime and proclaiming peace and that might give us all an edge.
Introductions are necessary!
Greetings! This is the first blog post EVER and its EPIC!
My comrade Paula and I will like to welcome you to our blog. We are extremely new to this and very excited at the same time. We have been talking about this for a long time and now it's finally a reality. We are two creative young women with really BIG ideas with A LOT to say. If we continued to contain all of this information any longer then our heads would have simply exploded and that would have been extremely messy. So blogging it is!
So are we blog worthy?? Well let's wait and see. What you'll find on here is our spin on pop culture, life and a lot of laugh out loud moments. Also Paula, is super creative and she sells her art. More deets later!
Here is a brief skinny on us! We will get more acquainted over our epic journey of bloghood.
I- Jessica am a graduate student studying to be a school psychologist. Currently I work with children with special needs doing play based therapy. I love my job and working with children mostly because makes up a great excuse for why I still watch the Disney Channel and why the Jonas Brothers are my favorite band. Best. Cover. Up. Ever.Aside from working and going to school which basically equals no life as you can tell, I love anything pop culture: movies, television, music, art, anything. I like to twitter (@JesRsica ) especially about my traffic mishaps. I live in the bay area and it happens to be the worse traffic I have ever experienced in my life. But I don't twitter while driving because thats a huge traffic mishap, right? :). I'm super excited to blog because I feel like 140 characters just doesn't capture the whole je ne sais quoi of it all. I'm super excited for spell check too, whoo hoo! Let's get this party going!
This is going to be fun!
Welcome!
JesRsica and Paula
PS- Forgot to mention. We live on opposite sides of the country. Jessica is in California and Paula is in North Carolina and we met in Florida. So Paula will introduce herself when she has the chance! :0)
Paula check in:
So that's the skinny on us. Let's see I was born in Rhode island, this far lil bit of space we call a state on the eastern boarder of the united states! It's a great little state you may want to catch it before it falls into the ocean by 2012. No, just kidding, but if it were going to happen it's epic size of being so tiny and almost forgettable would get us Rhode islanders into the ocean. Nuff about that terrible number, if your from Rhode island you are classified as a yankee, what the hell is that? Is that a southerner's term for racists? Hmmm..
Until I moved to this small town in which I call wilmington north bore of Carolina, I never heard that term before. Hell, I live in the most southern state that we call the sunshine state, yes people I have said it. The glorious, Disney Ridden, suntan nation, fake boob capital, diverse culture pot that melts with the Cubans, the Asians, and even the haitian persuasion which is FLORIDA.
This place that I described above is "Home". So home is really where I grew up, or where my family is? This is a confusing and touchy topic because well my parents now live in Greenville, south Carolina. A small town added to the most boring towns in America I might add. So I guess home is there too.
Well, I grew up in Florida. I've lived everywhere you can think of up and down the east coast, and through all the traveling back and forth and the miles added to my vehicle, I met my good friend Jessica.
Spunky, artistic and verbal, she is a winner people. She'll guide you through this great journey of bloggin through her wit, her comedy and definitely sarcasm of a personality. Not only will you begin to fall in love with her childlike humor and interest, I think you'll feel like you were deprived of not knowing such "punkie" charisma which she can shower through her words and feelings. It's going to be a roller coaster of up's and downs, and sometimes shouting matches but it will definitely meet all your expectations of entertaing this crazy world.
