Throwback Thursday: Cobra Starship!

My absolute favorite band in high school... well besides Fall Out Boy... was Cobra Starship. I was and am in love with Gabe Saporta lol. I didn't think I would like their music as much now... but I was mistaken!

I haven't relistened to Viva La Cobra just yet, but I really like Hot Mess and While the City Sleeps We Rule The Streets. Their first album is probably my favorite, but the others are good too! A few songs really stuck out to me as good.

1) The Church of Hot Addiction- This is always a favorite. It's kind of the sexiest song that exists... in my opinion lol. It's just plain hot, theres no other way to say it. The video is really funny also. Gabe falls in love with a Bunny... its good. They used to play this on a TGI Fridays commercial. Lol. Which is weird.

2) Being From Jersey Means Never Having to Say Your Sorry- This is a great first song of an album. And it leads into Hey Mr. Dj which is just such a good combo. Also I'm from Jersey, so I find this pretty cool. Lol. It's very short, chill and just a great song overall. And its quite sad but in a good way lol.

3) Fold Your Hands Child- This one was always a favorite of mine. It's just very deep, which is uncommon in cobra songs. It's very sweet too it's just such a nice song.

4) The Scene is Dead, Long Live The Scene- Again very deep. This is one of my favorite songs ever, it used to be my favorite until I discovered David Bowie... but it's still really good and its sad but relatable and kind of hopeful at the same time. I really like it.

5) Nice Guys Finish Last- Didn't always love this song, but now it's somehow one of my favorites. I like that its got a pop feel but also a swing feel... I like the girls singing with him... basically I just like it overall.

6) It's Amateur Night At The Apollo Creed- I really like a good angry song, and this is a good one. They played this when I saw them for the first time and they just said to tell people you don't like to listen to this song or something like that. It was funny and really cool. I like angry songs lol.

7) Pop Punk is Soooo '05- Another good angry song. I liked this song a little more that the previous angry song, but they're both good and cool songs.

8) Wet Hot American Summer- First off I love the title of this song because I love the movie Wet Hot American Summer. Second it's just a laid back good song about summer. It's like a chill break up song, which sometimes you just need. Break ups aren't chill at all, but this is a chill song. lol.

9) You Can't be Missed if you Never Go Away- Another really sweet song that I've always loved, but now I just find it really good and just nice. Sometimes you need some songs that are just nice and nothing else. lol.

10) Living in the Sky With Diamonds- Another one I've always liked a lot, but it's recently become a favorite. It's an interesting story and it is quite relatable. You feel for this self-destructive girl and you really do want her to change and that she finds a friend other than the reflection in the mirror. I love songs that are about a specific girl? Is that weird? I always feel inspired or something, even if this is kind of negative. I like it a lot.

So yeah, that's it.

Byee!

Scribbles about TV: Jane The Virgin Review!

This I think is a surprise hit, so of corse I needed to watch it for myself to see! It's been getting a lot of critical buzz because it has been reviewed as "one of the best pilots of the season" and I also have been hearing a few critics saying that they don't think it will last because the word "virgin" is in the title... which is stupid. There is nothing wrong with being a virgin and if a show is good, its good and people should watch it... plus this did bring pretty high ratings for The CW so the critics that said that can suck it! Lol. Overall I really liked this show. One thing thats been bothering me a lot about the new Fall shows is that the characters aren't interesting enough. Especially the female characters. I thought that this showed a lot of really strong female characters that were interesting. This had a pretty big cast with A LOT of stuff going on for a pilot and most of the characters were female. That is a powerful thing to see on TV...

Top 10 Dating Tips/ Suggestions

So I've been in a relationship for about 2 and a half years... but before that I was single... for a very long time. And I was on dating apps for about a year or so before that... so here's what I learned from those apps. If you want more specific relationship advice I have from being in a relationship... that one might be a little harder but I guess I could do a blog on that too? Idk... I'm not an expert but I think I have some good tips.  Find an App That Works For You  I feel like not all apps work for everyone. I started on Bumble- and I like the app. I love the idea of girls taking the first move- but... I HATE making the first move apparently. So I would just match with a bunch of guys... and never really knew what to talk about. Plus I like having A LOT of info in my bio and Bumble just doesn't give enough space for me. I only went out with 1 guy from Bumble I think and it was bad.  So after that I tried Coffee Meets Bagel... which is terrible. Maybe depending on...

Scribbles About TV: Jane The Virgin Finale Review (SPOILERS)

So.... Can we talk about all the twists because there were a lot! I didn't even see all of them coming! Alrighty we start out in typical Jane The Virgin Mode with Jane's choice between Raphael and Michael... I'd be okay with either but I think I'm team Michael. Jane has a weird moment with Raphael and thinks she's better off without him and just having him be the father of her child. She's also starting to have some feelings for Michael again. Then she almost has the baby on the bus and some woman helps her and gets the bus driver to take her to the hospital. Rogellio and Xo are in Vegas and they get drunk and can't remember what happens, but they make it just in time to see Jane deliver a baby boy. I knew it would be a boy! Lets pause on that a little and go to Michael and his ex partner/friend with benefits who comes back says she has a lead on Sin Rostro, gives him an address where the plastic surgeon is and by the time Michael gets there, he's de...
