Just another dead in the eyes love song. . .
2009: Year in Review
Okay guys, my year has been freakin' epic, but if you wanna read about it, then I suggest you go look at the rest of my blog here just to see exactly how epic it was. . .(yeah, I use that word a lot accordin' to my brother, but we have a deal. I'll stop sayin' epic if he stops usin' 'f**k' in every other sentence).

Anyways, I've decided to do a year in review thing, because I'm bored out of my mind. NOTE: Nothing will be in chronological order, and there are things that I will leave out, because I honestly don't care about that. So here we go!

First and foremost, we now have our first African-American president. And contrary to popular belief, I was hoping that he would do good. . .instead we haven't seen much except for a bunch of jokes and a Nobel Peace Prize. . .biggest WTF moment ever. We still have a few more years though. . .I'll kick back and see what happens. Although the best thing he did this year was call Kanye West a jackass!

Hey, I've got some advice for Mr. West:

IT'S NOT A GOOD IDEA TO F**K WITH AMERICA'S SWEETHEART!

Whether you love her or hate her (and for awhile I wanted to be her, due to the whole, datin' Taylor Lautner thing), you have to admit that she has blown up this year. And it's obvious by the backlash after the VMA incident. When LADY freakin' GAGA drops you from her tour, then something is wrong. . .I didn't hear much about when he bitched about not gettin' some award, then gettin' pissed for winnin' that same award the next year. . .But messin' with Taylor Swift will make your career gone down fast than one of Tiger Woods' escorts.

And people seriously need to leave that poor b*****d alone! Everyone has affairs or pays hookers or something along those lines (okay, not everyone, but you don't see Joe Blow on TV every 5 minutes after his wife chases him and the neighbor out of bed with a shotgun). But just because he is a celebrity, he is placed on a pedestal and everyone loves to watch that long fall to the ground. . .Yet the only thing all of the media coverage teaches kids is to do bad things so you can get on TV and become famous too.

Well, it isn't just kids tryin' to get on T.V. (Hello, Balloon Boy!)

In truth, no one will honestly remember this as the first year a Black President sat in the White House, or Kanye's Career Endin' Explosion at the VMA's. They won't remember Balloon Boy, or OctoMom, or Jon and Kate plus Jon's 8 mistresses. . .

It will be the year that Michael Jackson died. Oh joy. . .

Now don't get me wrong, it is always sad when someone dies before their time. It's even sad when someone dies at an old age (RIP Grandma!), but when that celebrity has more fans after he died than before he died, is when it gets annoyin'. On June 24th, everyone was sittin' at home, and anytime MJ came up, there were jokes bein' made about 'liking' little boys, or danglin' babies of balconies, or his looks. . .so on, so forth.

Then June 25th rolls around, as my family decides not to be hypocritical and begins to make even MORE jokes, everybody and their mom are suddenly pro-MJ fans. Woooo. . .I hate that more than anything! No one gave a damn until he was gone! Not that I'm takin' anything from him musically, I honestly love his music! But when everyone starts talkin' as if he were Jesus, I'm waitin' for a church to get erected for him. . .

In my opinion, 2009 is Celebrity death year. And when I first wrote this, there were 74 deaths total. . .but Monday, that number went up to 75 with The Rev from Avenged Sevenfold. . .Which makes me even more pissed about the MJ situation, since we knew he was dead as soon as it was announced (because it happened on every TV station) but I didn't find out until Wednesday about Rev. . .

But we also lost Brittney Murphy, Patrick Swayze (I cried), Bea Arthur, Farrah Fawcett (remember her? She died June 25th too), Billy Mays, Ed McMahon, David Carradine, and so many more. Those are just the ones that I remember. All of them will be missed, and should have gotten as much press as MJ.

This year in music should be considered the year of Lady GaGa. SHE IS EVERYWHERE! And although my musical taste usually leans toward rock, I am proud to admit I am a Lady GaGa fan. . .in fact I'm listenin' to "Poker Face" right now. Alright, I love her music. . .her outfits are out of this world, and kinda needed to stay there. Taylor Swift hit it big too, and it wasn't due to the VMA drama as much as everyone thinks it was. . .any country star that can cross-over as well as she did deserves every honor that she's gotten.

My guilty pleasure though is Justin Bieber. . .that kid has an awesome voice! And every teeny-bopper under the age of 18 are in love with him (check out the MySpace Stickers board. . .), and even a few over the age of 18 who have a shota-complex (it means people who like little boys. . .Must resist the urge to insert Michael Jackson joke.)

Oh, quick question: I was listenin' to "Tik Tok" by Kesha, and wanted to know why we would kick a guy to the curb unless he looked like Mick Jagger? I don't want a guy that looks like him! Maybe one with his wallet, but make him look like Taylor Lautner (just make him legal!), or Jared Leto, or the lead singer from Framing Hanley (OMG, that man is HOT). I mean, seriously!

Let's see, I can't think of anything else that mattered to me in 2009 except for Vampire Mania, but if I were to bring up Vampire Diaries (TEAM DAMON!) or Twilight (TEAM JACOB) then I have the feelin' that my brother will take the wireless keyboard and break it over my head. He has issues with my fangirlin' when it comes to this. . .Honestly, he hates all my obsessions!

Anyways, hope you enjoy! Have a great 2010!

Love y'all always: Darlin' Nikki!
