America's Next Top Model Game Review

I'm not a big video game person anymore, I kind of grew out of them.  BUT, when I saw this game in the store, I fell to the floor and was GAGGIN!!!!!

I have no idea what I was even doing in the video game aisle to begin with but that game to your left caught my eye with the quickness.  I am THE BIGGEST Top Model fan.  I've been waiting for a game to come out for the longest (those games you download on your mobile phone do not count).

I was so grateful that I had a Wii because if I didn't, no game for me.  So I bought this with the quickness.  This game had to be popular because they had to give me the one on display. Trust if they wouldn't have sold it to me I would have went to every game store i could until they sold it to me.

Now as far as the game goes, I must say I am somewhat disappointed.  First of all, how are you going to make a video game based off of Tyra Bank's show and not have her in it?  That confused the hell out of me.  I mean she is the creator of the show shouldn't she be in this game?  On top of not having Tyra, THE CREATOR OF THE SHOW, there was no Ms. J, no Jay Manuel, no Nigel, nobody important to the show.

As for your model, they have you choose between 4 generic, pre made models.  How boring is that?!  I was expecting a model creator where you get to create your model.  There is a big variety of clothing, hairstyles, makeup, personalities, you know something you would probably see in The Sims when you create a sim.  Being able to create your model would be one of the best feature of the game but the game lacks that.

I do like some aspects of the game though.  I like how you actually have to complete everyday tasks until the end of the week which is elimination day.  There is no skipping days you actually have to play out that entire day.  Elimination is based on a point basis. Through out the week the judges give you points based on fitness, if you're dressed to fit the theme of the week, the photoshoot and so on.  At the end of the week, you go to Elimination and walk the runway in clothes that fit the theme of that particular week.  Then the judges once again give you a final score based on fitness, your runway walk, hair and makeup, and whether your clothing fit the theme of the week.

The girl who has the least points for the week is eliminated.

There are makeovers but not like the show.  Every week there is a new theme like I mentioned earlier and just like you have to wear clothes that match the theme, you have to have a new style hair that matches the theme. The same applies with your make up.  And you can actually fight the other girls and not get eliminated. They actually make you fight them. That would have not happened in the show and we all know it.

This game is not as good as I thought it would be and nowhere near as close to the show how I would have liked it to be. While there were some aspects to the game I like, there are also some aspects I dislike. If I were to give this game a rating out of 5 I would give it a 2.

David Archuleta New Single: Something 'Bout Love

David Archuleta's new single Something 'Bout Love has been released as well as the music video and I must say that I am loving his new single.

I am a BIG David Archuleta fan and has been his biggest supporter since I saw him on Star Search as a young lad.  We may have been the same age, but I still had an ear for music back then.

This new single has taken a different approach from many of his songs in his self titled album.  This song has more of a dance feel to it but is still a pop song.

What I like the most about his music is that it is very age appropriate.  He's a 19 year old adolescent singing about love but not in an over sexual way like most songs out there today.

I think this song should do very well on the charts.  His last single 'Crush' from his self titled album made #2 on the Hot 100 charts and his album made #2 on the billboard charts.  I already pre ordered the album and can't wait to hear what else Archuleta has in store for us on this album.

Prop 8 Overturned

A major milestone has been made in the LGBT community.  On August 5, 2010, California's Proposition 8 which banned homosexual marriage, was overturned.

I as being a gay male myself am proud that the LGBT community were able to get this bill overturned.  There has been a lot of negativity around the issue of whether or not homosexuals should be allowed to marry.  I don't see why others care so much about what I want to do.  For those who are against it, how is this affecting your life?

It's not affecting your life.  It's not harming you in any way, shape, or form.  You just don't don't believe that this is appropriate and you're trying to push what you feel is appropriate on others who couldn't really give to fucks about what you think.  You have no right to dictate how's others should live their lives. Is your life so boring that you have to try and ruin the lives of others?  It must be because people against gay marriage have invested so much time into stopping homosexuals from getting married.

Prop 8 has been overturned and homosexuals are now allowed to get married legally in the state of California.  Some believe that this won't last very long and that it will be overturned yet again.  Well good luck with that.  While you do that, I'm going to enjoy my rights.

Gloom

For it to be July, Los Angeles has been getting a lot of gloomy weather as show in the picture.  Every morning when I leave for school in the morning, (yes I'm in summer school by choice) it looks like that and sometimes it even drizzles a bit.

Now I am all for rain and gloom BUT, it's simply not the time for all that weather.  I want some sun if thats too much to ask for.  Thank you.

Revenge of the Bridesmaids

Where has our beloved Raven Symone been all this time???????  I haven't seen her in action since The Cheetah Girls 2 and that was back in 2006.  They didn't even have her in the third one.

But she's back I see.  She will be premiering in an ABC Family original movie 'Revenge of the Bridesmaids.'  I've been dying to see my Raven in something.  Its been far too long since she's made an appearance on the big screen.

This movie airs on July 18, 2010 on ABC Family.  Check your local listings and tune in if you're a Raven Symone stan like myself.

Miles Jacob

So on July 3rd, 2010, the day after my birthday, there was a new addition my my immediate family.  My mother had her second child.  Yes I am a BIG brother all over again.  I am so happy.  I've been wanting a maternal sibling for the longest.  While I wish I would have gotten that sibling when I was a bit younger because I'm not too thrilled about this age gap.  When he gets my age I'm going to be 38.  The thought makes me cringe ever so much.

I haven't had the opportunity to see him yet.  Little guy is still in the hospital.  He had to have surgery right after birth.  He's fine and perfectly healthy just waiting for him to come home.  I wish I had a picture of him so I can show him off.  He's so cute!

Blogging & Vlogging

A lot of people now a days have a blog or do vlogs on youtube.  Blogging and vlogging are the newest pastimes of this generation.  They allow us to let people access to our lives and thoughts via the internet.  Some allows us to keep up with what's going on in the media and lives of celebs.  There is absolutely a blog for everyone's preference.

Now I sometimes question why some people want to start blogs.  I went around to different people's blogs here on blogger/blogspot and asked what drove them to start a blog.  I was surprised at some of the answers I received.  Majority of the people I asked said they're trying to be the next Perez Hilton.  Now that was the most pathetic thing I've ever heard.  So basically they are trying to get famous from blogging.

Others said they do it so they can get money through adsense.  Adsense is a program run by Google which places ads on you blog and for every ad that is clicked on you receive a profit.  Some even said they just was to get a reaction from people. Now while you do want to get a reaction out of people from your blog, that shouldn't be the reason why you started it.

I did not get the answer I was looking for.  Not one person said they were doing it for them.  I'm sure if I kept asking different people I would have gotten that answer but I only asked 12 people.  Also by the content on some people's blogs, I could have easily gotten my answer.  If you're not blogging for yourself then I believe you're doing it for the wrong reasons.  It's not about getting popular, famous, money, or anyone else.  It's about loving to write and blog and nothing more.

Goodbye

It's never easy to say goodbye but sometimes thats all you have left to do.  When all of your options have been exhausted and theres nothing more you can do, then that means it's time to say goodbye.  

If it's meant to go then you can't force it to stay.  All you can do let it go on its way.  Yes you will be sad it's gone but you'll always have the memories that were shared. 

It's time to close the door and open it up for new opportunities and 

Try Sleeping With A Broken Heart

Have you ever tried sleeping with a broken heart?  Well you can try sleeping in my bed. 

Alicia Keys said it best in her song 'Try Sleeping with a Broken Heart.'  Listening to this song left me speechless because this basically summed it all up for me.  So I'm going to let her do the talking in this post. 

Introducing: Alicia Keys, Try Sleeping with a Broken Heart.

Even if you were a million miles away
I could still feel you in my bed
Need me, touch me, feel me
And even at the bottom of the sea
I could still hear inside my head
Tellin' me, touch me, feel me

And all the time you were tellin' me lies

So tonight, I'm gonna find a way to make it without you
Tonight I'm gonna find a way to make it without you
I'm gonna hold on to the times that we had tonight
I'm gonna find a way to make it without you

Have you ever tried sleeping with a broken heart?
Well, you could try sleeping in my bed

Lonely, own me nobody ever shut it down like you
You wore the crown
You made my body feel heaven bound
Why don't you hold me
Neeed me, I thought you told me
You'd never leave me

Looking in the sky I could see your face
And I know right where I fit in
Take me, make me, you know that I'll always be in love
With you
Right til the end OOh

So tonight, I'm gonna find a way to make it without you
Tonight I'm gonna find a way to make it without you
I'm gonna hold on to the times that we had tonight
I'm gonna find a way to make it without you

Anybody could've told you right from the start
It's bout to fall apart
So rather than hold onto a broken dream
I'll just hold on to love

And I could find a way to make it
Don't hold on too tight
I'll make it without you tonight

So tonight, I'm gonna find a way to make it without you
Tonight I'm gonna find a way to make it without you
I'm gonna hold onto the times we had tonight
I'm gonna find a way to make it without you

"Life is the script. You're the writer of your own life. It's time to take control."

Nature

When's the last time you took the time to appreciate nature and its beauty?

Nature is such a beautiful thing.  We all need to take a break from our faced paced lives and go get some fresh air.  Take in the beauty and appreciate it.  There is more to life than video games, texting, and the mall.  There is a whole other out there and you;re missing out on it.  

Take a trip to the park and spend the day, or not even a day just a couple of hours and I guarantee you will feel refreshed, relaxed and like a new person. 

Dodo Bird

Okay I know this is random but I have some weird fascination for the extinct dodo bird.

Okay thats all. 

Fork In The Road

You've come to that point in your life where you have to make a decision.  It's like you've come to a fork in the road.  Which road do you take?

Afraid to go down the wrong path?  Afraid one road will lead you to the land of nothing?  Well you'll never know if you don't take a risk and make a decision.  No matter which road you choose it will never be the end of the road.  

Dreams

When you go to bed at night, what do you dream about?  Are they pleasant dreams?  Are they nightmares?  Do they foretell your future?  Do they relive the past? What are your dreams communicating to you?

Only you have the power to determine that hidden message in your dreams.
