Scribbles About Music: Last Year Was Complicated by Nick Jonas

Alright lets do a little review on the newest from Nick Jonas. I'm a little biased because we all know I'm going to marry Nick Jonas... so yeah.

I think this is a really great album all in all! Its fun to dance to, theres sort of a fun "in and out of love" theme that I think a lot of people can relate to. Lots of fun sexy songs. What a fun, sexy time for you! (name that quote! Hint: It is NOT Borat!) I do have some favorite and least favorite songs and I have some reasons for that.

Lets just start out with my least favorites... cause its not that I don't like the songs, its not that I don't listen to them or sing along to them... but they just aren't really my favorites for one reason or another.

Champagne Problems- I do like this song... idk I just don't feel like I get it. Like I can get what its about and interpret it... it just isn't a really "Shannon" song.

Chainsaw- I like this song but its one of those typical "I'm a child star going to rebel and be a badass in this song to show I'm 22 now song." It reminds me of Ottowanna go to bed from Kroll Show... lol. Its not bad, but it kinda makes me laugh. And I think Nick Jonas has done a great job transitioning to a grown up with little drama. But its like "Ugh I'm just gonna break everything and say the eff word!"  I feel bad writing this because I am such a fan of Nick Jonas and I don't think he is actually like that at all... but thats just what I think of when I hear this song. I appreciate this title because of Scream Queens. Lol.

Bacon- I feel like this just isn't my song. I like Bacon... but it seems like he's going to say "There's one thing I love more than you and that's bacon." I like it, I'll listen to it, I'll sing along even though I sing wrong cause I say "There's one thing I love more than being with you and thats bacon" lol. Idk just a weird thing.

Favorites 

The Difference- This is stuck in my head right now. I really like this song. Its just cool and its a good song. Idk I just like the lyrics, its sexy but its also kinda sweet. Its nice.

Close- How can you not like this one! Its just so good! I usually don't like the singles quite as much, and I thought that I'd be tired of it by now because I've listened to it millions of times... nope! I love it!

Under You- Nick just released a video for this one and I think its awesome! I like the song a lot. Its catchy and goes with the vibe of the album.

Touch- This one is a lot different than the other songs and I think its really good for that. I like how it starts and I just think its good and cute. Lol.

Good Girls- This is one that kinda makes me laugh again... but I think its good. It reminds me of Flight of The Conchords when Jemaine says "Yes, sometimes my lyrics are sexist but you lovely bitches and ho's should know I'm trying to correct this" lol. He's saying "yeah I'm not objectifying you... but this music video probably has a lot of sexy women in it... and I'm not slut shaming I'm just trying to change society." Type of vibe... which you know what, good for Nick Jonas! I think he is trying to change society. He seems like an awesome dude that is comfortable with himself... so that is really cool!

So yeah. Good summer cd. Some great things to listen to. Really like it!

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...

Some Pretty Funny Mini Stories That Happened Recently

Okay... so I feel like I have a few stories to tell... a lot of random funny things have happened this past week or so and I just feel like telling them... so yeah. Hope these are interesting. The Penny Pincher  This actually happened a while ago. And some backstory: My mom and I babysit my niece on weekdays and my niece is a toddler- who is pretty easygoing- and I don't really mind watching her on my own...but somedays it gets a little long and it's nice to have 2 people there. Anyway she had to go to the grocery store to get a tomato sauce... and we like a particular kind of tomato sauce... some woman actually took that tomato sauce out of her cart and put the generic version in her cart because "this woman knows tomato sauce and this stuff is the same." It really wasn't the same at all... the type I think had diced tomatoes and that isn't what we needed for the recipe or something like that. The tomatoes were different and it wouldn't have worked wi...
