Scribbles About Music: Shuffle Itunes and Review the first 7 songs

So here's a new idea that I'm doing now... I'm going to listen to the first 5 songs that shuffle on my apple music and let you know how they are... Alright!

1) Best of Wives and Best of Women from Hamilton Soundtrack- This is such a short song that I'll do the first 6 songs... I like this song a lot because it shows that Alexander and his wife are back together on good terms and it says a lot about their relationships and the situation Alexander is in with Burr in a quick 30 second song. The Line "Best of Wives and Best of Women" was in Alexander's letter to Eliza that he wrote before the duel to I think... it was definitely found in one of the letters he wrote to her... and I think its important that they included it in the play.

2) What Do You Mean by Justin Bieber- This is the reason for my Apple Music... I was too embarrassed to actually commit to this Bieber album... but I wanted it on my phone. I didn't actually like this one at first, but I grew to kind of love it. I like this Bieber Renaissance... and this song is the start of it... so its okay. Not my favorite... but I'll sing along and dance to it. And actually keep it on when its on the radio.

I still don't know why she's running out of time... is she dying?

3) Going Commando from The Deadpool Soundtrack- ... Maybe I should do 7 songs now because this isn't an actual song song... lol. I loved the music in Deadpool, and specifically I loved the Deadpool Rap... but I like listening to music with no lyrics because it makes me feel important and its good to listen to while writing and stuff... so if I were going to write something action-related, I'd listen to the deadpool soundtrack. If I wanted to write a horror story... maybe American Horror story... and that makes sense right? Lol. This isn't the best song on the soundtrack probably... but it is very action-y and if you listen to it at the gym... you'll feel cool. I like it.

4) Flowers in Your Hair by The Lumineers- I loved the Lumineers a while ago and I just re-downloaded the album because I love it so much. This song is the first song on the album I think and it is amazing. Again a short song... but longer than 30 Seconds... so I'm not adding another song. Lol. This is such a cute song... it makes me happy listening to it. I just like it. This it the kind of stuff you listen to when your in love and it just makes everything better.

5) The Black Death from Something Rotten- This is funny... another short song... I feel like this didn't shuffle that well... this is one of the funniest songs just listening to it with no context. In the play it was so funny too... I loved Something Rotten, totally my favorite musical I'd say... Its great.

6) Hood Politics by Kenderick Lamar- I couldn't really hear all the words he was saying and I got a little distracted by an article on celebrities that are my height and shorter... but this was a good song. I liked the sound of it and everything... lyrics are explicit... but Kenderick Lamar is pretty amazing.

7) Blackstar by David Bowie- This is a music video too... so I'm going to watch that. I like the song. Very different... even in his last days, he was making music that was different and groundbreaking and this video was absolutely beautiful... as is the song. I'm not 100% sure what it all means, what story its telling or anything... but the opening of the song kind of sounds like an old Bowie song that is skipping and its just a very dark song and a dark video... and a lot of it just sounds like noise but when you hear Bowie sing... its magical. He's amazing. My absolute favorite singer of all time... and the man can do no wrong.

Byeee!

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...
