As Told By Me Archives

                           As the American culture enters further into the areas of reality, and tabloid television, one may find themselves building a stronger curiosity of a particular celebrity especially when it concerns their personal life. If not all, most of us are guilty for having some kind of interest in one’s favorite or most talked about celebrity. Whether it is their dating life, legal battle, or a life crisis the general public has developed a strong interest of the private lives of the Hollywood society. The question now is whether or not we have a right to have an interest in their lives. Generally, a primary question would be to ask one self that if the personal lives of a celebrity is so important to be held private, why hasn’t anything been done in the past ten years to prevent bad PR? Thus leading us to the age old phrase “Al...

  I talked about this kind of person before in my 7 deadliest friends blog, but I wanted to bring more attention to the girl who needs all of the attention. If you’re in a situation where you have to deal with someone who constantly steals the spotlight it’s no question how annoying and down right a pain in the ass it can become when she’s practically your shadow. You see a cute top at you’re favorite store she buys one too, you’ve been a fan of an indie band for years, you know every song, and enjoyed every concert until one night you see her moshing in a gift shop t-shirt she just bought 10 minutes ago . You post a funny video you found on youtube to see not only has she posted it too, she’s even gotten more comments. Now supposedly imitation is supposed to be the highest form of flattery. We’ve even recently seen this in Hollywood with the much talked about debate between Nicki Minaj vs. Lil Kim. In reality, you should feel special that she thinks so highly of you that she ...

    You want a raise Asking for money is never easy, especially in the workplace. No one wants to feel like they don't appreciate what they are given now, but at the same time if you find yourself struggling to pay this months car payment and can barely make enough to save or that you have worked there long enough to where you feel you deserve a pay increase then yes! You should bring this to their attention immediately. How? Don't be brash about your approach simply (which may feel easier said than done) address your feelings of why you think you deserve an increase in your salary. Let them know your situation without feeling like you are trying to win them over by playing the sympathy card. Also, remind your boss what you bring to the table every day at work. Are you always on time? Are you what they refer to as a "team player?". By showing your boss that you aren't just randomly asking for money and have reason to back up your request, th...

So you had an amazing date. On a scale from 1-10 you'd probably rate it a 20. You were up all night telling your best friend the details, and slept like a baby reminiscing of how much fun you had together. Now comes the fun part...WAITING FOR HIM TO CALL. I'm sure you've already took the initiative and read countless articles of whether or not he is interested, why he hasn't called, or if you should call him. Which now brought you to mine. One of the worst things about dating is it can be unpredictable. Sometimes you could have followed all the "rules" and still be alone on a Friday night. Give Yourself a Deadline. No matter what advice you take, you're still going to be thinking in the back of your mind when this guy is going to call or text you. Allow yourself about a week of waiting around to make your decision to move on. Think like a Guy. If things are really amazing now would you want the tingles and butterflies to fester aw...

Boyfriend have a lot of friends? Do you feel intimidated by it? Are you reading this blog because you feel shadowed by his social life? If you answered "Yes" to all of these questions this is definitely the blog for you. Not everyone is a social butterfly, some of us only have a few close friends that they've had since high school while others have the gift of making friends at the post office. If you're dating a guy who appears to know the entire! neighborhood then it can be a little intimidating when you have more of a reclusive personality. Places of Insecurity At a Party One of the worst situations is to be at a party and feel completely foreign to everyone else. No one wants to be in a situation where they don't know anyone and can not relate to what is going on. It makes the experience awkward and just plain dreadful. Which may even have you contemplating on if the relationship is even worth the humiliation. As remedial as it sound...

 Before it was said the way to a girl's heart was to open the door for her. Today it's known to send her a good morning text message. Since romance novels and films such as Twilight and The Notebook have severely altered the female perception of romance, one can find themselves overlooking tiny acts of chivalry. What may not seem like a gentleman to you might actually be a decent guy to keep around. Although we live in a different generation than our grandparents, it's not out of the question that men today still pick up on "old school" manors. Some men have come a long way since their days of "going steady" and romantic dates at the local roller rink when they were 12. Others however are just bigger kids with   smaller expectations. Scenario : A true gentleman will treat dating like their dream job. After years of working a 9-5 that caused nothing but stress and aggravation (ex girlfriends) he finally gets the ...

                                                        Lately it seems (well at least in my social network) that the new trend is “Relationship Validation”. Meaning so many couples (mostly girls) feel like they have to constantly remind their friends that they are in a relationship. When staring at your news feed, how many times do you see almost the exact same status from one of your friends that refers to the person they are currently dating? No one wants to be Debbie Downer and appear bitter to someone’s happiness, but if you notice a pattern in their public displays of affection you might find that they are putting on a show for a reason. When it comes to relationships, there are two types of people the veterans an...

Pop Sensation Christina Aguilera, known for her amazing singing abilities stars in her first lead role Burlesque. A musical film directed by actor Steve Antin much known for his role as the "Preppy Jock" in the 1985 classic The Goonies. Not only is Aguilera the last of the Mickey Mouse Club to be casted in a movie, but she is also following in the footsteps of her peers. After completing the almost 3 minute trailer, I came to conclude my plot theory for this film. I would consider this movie to be linked as Chicago meets Glitter. Typical story of small town girl moving to the big bad city in hopes of becoming a star. The way I see my theory to go, Ali Rose (Aquilera) moves to LA to find she has fallen in love with a burlesque lounge managed by Tess (Cher). After being denied as a dancer Tess's assistant Sean (Stanly Tucci) gives Ali a job as a waitress. With much frustration of how the lounge is...
