Tattoo of a infinity

Tattoo:

My tattoo would be a symbol of the infinity sign and I would have it placed on the lower part of my back. The infinity sign represents state of being infinite, never-ending, endless, unlimited, immeasurable…

 

Develop a statement for a bumper sticker.

• It’s not enough to know where you are going, you actually need to know how to drive.
• Your need for speeding, is my need for breaking.
• No matter where you go, there you are!

Interesting Fact

At age 47, the Rolling Stones' bassist, Bill Wyman, began a relationship with 13-year old Mandy Smith, with her mother's blessing. Six years later, they were married, but the marriage only lasted a year. Not long after, Bill's 30-year-old son Stephen married Mandy's mother, age 46. That made Stephen a stepfather to his former stepmother. If Bill and Mandy had remained married, Stephen would have been his father's father-in-law and his own grandpa.
I waas like...whaaaaat?

Fact

Song Lyrics to Facebook

When I posted some of my own lyrics to Facebook I acutally got a couple of likes from it.  And one of my friends asked which country singer sang those lyrics.

Fact

Just some random facts about a good band =)

The Eagles are an American rock band formed in Los Angeles, California in 1971 by Glenn Frey, Don Henley, Bernie Leadon, and Randy Meisner.

With five number one singles, six Grammy, five American Music Awards, and six number one albums, the Eagles were one of the most successful musical acts of the 1970s. The Eagles' Their Greatest Hits 1971-1975 is the best-selling record of all time.

The Eagles were inducted into the Rock'n'Roll Hall of Fame in 1998, where for the only time to date, all seven present-and-former members performed together. The name "Eagles" was chosen for a variety of reasons - its association with Western mythology, freedom, Americana... and the fact that in Glenn's mind, it sounded like a sports team or a gang.

Sage Francis- drug addicted magician turned rapper

Sage Francis - Once a well known magician who became addicted to drugs and alcohol and later turned to music, hip-hop specifically. He hates government despises the church and is scarily objective about issues that happen in this country.  His music is emotional, one can feel his pain and completely see where his is coming from. He currently is heavily involved in helping youth stay off drugs and alcohol through sponsorships and also sponsors children in South Africa.

Nicki Minaj

An intersting fact about Nicki Minaj is that she has multiple alter egos. Growing up, there was trouble and violence at home so she created these alter egos to escape. I personally didn't know about her background and to now know why she has developed multiple alter egos is interesting and gives me a better understanding of her as an artist.

Interesting Fact

Although an actor of some renown, Jared Leto from the band 30 Seconds to Mars, doesn't use this to promote his band. In fact he refuses to play any shows where they use his name to promote the band.

I thought this was interesting because it really fits with a punk ethos of not selling out. It would seem that someone so connected to Hollywood would not have much problem using this edge to promote their  music career as so many others have done. In this case Leto sticks with his ethics.

Why they call themselves Dope.

"Dope is a New York-based quintet led by brothers Edsel Dope (lead vocals, rhythm guitar) and Simon Dope (keyboards). Children of divorced parents, the two grew up separately in Florida. Simon studied chemistry at the University of Florida, then received a scholarship to Polytechnic in Brooklyn. There, he was joined by his brother; the two claim to have financed their demos by selling drugs."

It is interesting to think that one of the leading metal bands of modern times is headed by two brothers who were separated by a divorce. This fact also illustrates that sometimes to get what you want most you have to do some unsavory things like selling drugs.

Interesting Fact

Merle Haggard in Prison at San Quentin


"Throughout 1957, Haggard was plagued by financial problems, which made him turn to robbery. At the end of the year, he attempted to rob a restaurant along with two other burglars; the three were drunk at the time. Believing it was three o'clock in the morning, the trio tried to open up the back door of the restaurant. However, it was 10:30 and the establishment was still open. Although the trio fled the scene, Haggard was arrested that day. The following day, he escaped from prison in order to make peace with his wife and family; later that day, he was recaptured. Haggard was sentenced to a 15-year term and sent to San Quentin prison"(http://www.cmt.com/artists/az/haggard_merle/bio.jhtml).

Interesting facts about Darius Rucker

Darius Rucker Biography

As the front man of Hootie & the Blowfish, Darius Rucker was one of the most popular front men in mainstream pop/rock during the mid-'90s. The band's debut album, Cracked Rear View, was virtually inescapable in 1995, eventually selling more than 16 million copies and becoming one of the most successful albums of all time. Hootie & the Blowfish couldn't recreate that magic on future albums, though, and the band took a break from the studio after releasing 1998's Musical Chairs. Rucker used his free time to launch a solo career, which allowed the singer to explore his R&B and country influences.

I have personally enjoyed Darius Rucker over the years and his transformation into country music genre. Darius Rucker has an unforgettable voice and is an extremely talented song writer. Wither Darius Rucker is singing hip-hop, country, or R&B music; it is all ways a joy to listen to his music.

Lyrics to someone

Sit on Down

Baby sit right down
Put a movie on
Let me stare into those
beautiful green eyes

Right now, I would have to say that my favorite love song is Like A Star by Corrine Bailey Rae. It came out a while back and I literally just heard it for the first time in forever and fell in love with it all over again. It uses alot of metaphors and similes that compare a lover to elements of the earth and life and its just so pretty and it makes my heart melt. :)
