I Tried To Evacute The Dance Floor & I Lost

Let me tell you this game...

 

Is whooping my butt!

I have gone on rants of my love/hate relationship with X-Box (aka Big Man's other woman) but since we've gotten the Kinect, it has been more love than hate. 

I love demolishing Big Man at bowling on the Sports package and my nephew has a fun time playing the Adventure package that came with it but my fave has got to be Dance Central. Big Man surprised me with it the other night and I have been having a ball playing it but let me tell you, it is not as easy as it looks in the commercials.

I thought I was a fairly good dancer until I started playing this game. Now I just feel like a spazztastic tart who gyrates and scissor kicks and gets no recognition for it. Moves that I thought looked easy are way more difficult than I imagined even on easy mode. 

So far I've tried these songs:

Lady Gaga "Pokerface" 

I wasn't too bad at this one. A couple of the moves got me but I totally killed the fist pump.

Cascada "Evacuate The Dance Floor"

I was super pumped to dance to this one since it was the one in all the commercials and the song is pretty catchy but I sucked ass baddddd at this one. It looks way more easier in the commercials than it is in real life. That whole arm/head thing they do in the preview...yeah..I looked like I was having multiple seizures trying to do that one, Big Man may have been close to dialing 911.

Soulja Boy "Crank That"

I thought I had this one in the bag since I was in the clubs when this song first dropped....well my friends, I am here to tell you now that I have wasted all of 2005 because how they did it was not how I remembered it. Then again, I was 19 and was able to move alot more easily. Oh youth, how I miss thee....haha!

Wreckz-N-Effects "Rump Shaker"

I have freestyle danced to this song and thought there was going to be some rump shakin (duh!) and I know I am good at that but I didn't know the actual moves to the song. They have a 'break it down' option that helps you learn the moves and that helped but I have a ways to go before I'm actually good. 

Pitbull "I Know You Want Me"

This one wasn't that bad at this one but again I need a little more practice till I actually master it. 

Rhianna "Pon De Replay"

This was the only one that I did great at. I love this song and jammed to it back in 2005 in Florida and remembered some of the moves. I would also like to thank my Haitian and Caribbean friends from FL who taught me some of those moves that I would have never known of otherwise and to Big Man for being my island boy.

I plan on trying alot more of them and want to master them. I love dancing and this is such a good workout for someone like me who doesn't like to do traditional exercises. 

I would also like to make a suggestion to the Dance Central inventors and advise that they should add Tony Matterhorn's "Dutty Wine" to Dance Central 2 because I would effin' smash that one! :)

P.S. Happy Birthday Pappy S....your still missed very much after all these years.

Did I Really Just Fist Pump?!?

Two of my good girlfriends have kids so getting to out to have a girl's night out is almost next to impossible but last night we ditched our boys and their kids and headed out on the town for some drinks and dancing. Hair was done, makeup was on and we were looking pretty good if you ask me.

But instead of our younger years of riding in one of our regular cars, we were kicking it mommy style in a minivan, carseats included.

Our first stop out we decided to hit up The Roundhouse in the next town over. Usually when we have gone there it has been pretty legit with a decent amount of people and some good music playing but last night we walked in to Wacky McWackness! There was like 8 people in there including the 3 of us, bartender and DJ. We barely get out that much together so we weren't going to waste our time there so after finishing our one drink we headed back to my town to Club 18.

Don't let the name fool you, this was absolutely nothing like a club. I felt like I walked into an Abercrombie and Fitch commercial. I swear atleast half of the people there were repping A&F, Hollister, or American Eagle. That's not really my look and neither was the environment. This was my first and last time going there. When we walked in it felt like everyone turned and stared at us and what I suppose was the owner lady turned to us and rudely asked if we had ID's....umm yeah bitch. Mind you the kid behind the bar is a guy that we actually graduated with. The dick just stood there and smirked while we were carded. I didn't mind being carded but these guys were just assholes. So again after finishing a single beer we headed out to find another place to go.

Their is a decent amount of bars in our town but it seemed if as if they were all wack that night. All we wanted to do was have a fun girl's night out to drink and dance a bit.

So after contemplating our options we decided to head to The Warehouse where atleast we knew they would have some decent music.

Umm wrong!

After being enthusiastically told by the doorman that they were having a mechanical bull next week we walked in to 1999 and were hit with such classics like Ludacris 'Ho's in Different Area Codes' and Camron's 'Hey Ma'....which is a song I actually like. But seriously....can we atleast have a little more up to date music. I guess being exposed to Orlando and their clubs I will never be fully satisfied here...that or I'm not update on my BET music.

Between the skanky girls dancing in cages with less then desirable guys and the one sober girl shaking her shit like she was water down version of a white Beyonce, we boozed it up enough until we could make our way onto the dance floors ourselves. Now let me tell you, I'm a lover of dancing....I shake what my mama gave me and have no problems doing so but the music they were playing was seriously ridiculous. Me and my BFF got down to some Salt and Pepa 'Push It' and I did the robot to some Lady Gaga's 'Telephone'  but I think I scared my friends and myself when I magically turned into a combination of Snooki and Pauly D and started beating up the beat to some Enrique Inglesias ' Baby I Like It'.

Now don't be scared and de-friend me it was just a joke but I don't think I'll ever be able to listen to that song without thinking about that.

Even if after my embarrassment we continued to drink, dance and have fun....and I'm looking forward to the next time we can go out because them two were wasted and probably my best entertainment! : )

This, That, & Those

I've disappointed you again Martha!

If you would see the state of my house, you would understand why I am not posting Martha Mondays today...It's a complete disaster and I would feel like a sham passing on some helpful hints that I can't even follow myself.

I had all good intentions to clean yesterday but I was a bum and just laid in bed all day watching Ace of Cakes and The Wizard of Oz.

Nice, yes...Productive, no...so today I will be going home and scrubbing down the casa, it needs it.

I might show before and after pics, just to show the extent of it.

Saving money = BIG FAIL!

I had to hand my whole paycheck over to Big Man this week so I could pay rent..and next week/next month is not looking any better since I have to pay an extra car payment.

Last and least important,

The Hills come back on tomorrow

I was never really a fan of either LC or Kristin but I def. liked LC better, she just seemed nicer and def. had wayyy better style; but now that Kristin is back I want to see what kinda shit she stirs up!

Stacy (the slutty bartender) & Kristin

Fashion fail...WTF are they wearing??!

Kristin's outfit looks like a wrinkly hot pink mess and I'm not really digging the heels and Stacy...wow, that is not a good look girl...are those boots or leg warmers?!?

Justin Bobby

The cutoff man capri will never look cool/good...can someone please send him the fuckin memo.

Kristin & Brody
Does anyone else find this weird considering their exes and he has a crazy Playmate girlfriend?!?

Speidi

Do I really need to explain what is wrong with them?

Yes, I know that this crap is completely scripted but I must admit I find it pretty entertaining.

VMA Fashion Recap

I was a little more impressed and a lot more disappointed with the fashion then at the last award show...so let's take a look at some of the yay's and nay's:

(Warning: If your not a fan of alot of pictures, you should probably just skip this post!)

Alicia Keys

Sometimes she gets it sometimes she doesn't...this is A+ in my book

Beyonce

I think she looked fab... she kept it simple and looked great

Cassie
Somebody please tell these chicks to stop cutting off half their hair. It is so not a good look

Jade Cole
(from ANTM)
I despised her on ANTM and I still don't like her or her style now

Jennifer Lopez
J.Lo NO!!! Is that velvet?!?

Kanye West & Amber Rose
What douchbag carries around Hennessy? I bet he thinks he looks tough but that wrinkled plastic shirt says differently. And his stripper girlfriend, well look what she's wearing, do I even need to say anything else.

Katy Perry
Love it, maybe cause it sparkles!

Kristen Cavallari
Should have got rid of the black shoes boo!
She can try but she'll never be LC!

Lady Gaga
Sometimes I like her kooky outfit, but c'mon....really?!?

Lauren Conrad
A+ all around

Lo Bosworth

I like the dress but her make-up is horrible

Olivia Palermo

Can someone please give this girl a sandwich!

This dress is practically falling off her and why does she always pose so awkwardly?

Perez Hilton

There is sooo many things wrong with this that I don't even know where to start.

Chest Hair?!? Ewww!

Pink

I love her! She looks great but also like she wouldn't hesitate to kick your ass!

Shakira

Hooker boots...no,no,no!

Is you notice both her and Pink are rocking the same dress.

Stephanie Pratt

Big Fat No!

But I do see that she got a nose job, hmm taking after your sister-in-law much?

Taylor Lautner

Mmm..Mmm..Mmm!

Taylor Swift

I think she looks fab...she kicked up the sexiness but she still looks classy!

Tyson Ritter

(from the All American Rejects)

I'm not usually a fan of guys in pink or in tight pants but I'm kinda digging this look.

Maybe it's his crazy eyes putting me under a spell

Whitney Port

I'm undecided if I like this. A part of me wants to say no but then a part of me kinda like it..hmm

And if you want to see the biggest dick alive (TSFW: totally safe for work) then check out this video:

Which by the way, Beyonce video was not the best EVER...it was 3 chicks dancing on a plain black and white soundstage, really that what he considers great?

But I must give props to Mrs. B for being such a classy and gracious woman and inviting Taylor back up on stage..kudos Beyonce!

Come back later on today to get your dose of Martha Mondays!

MTV Movie Awards Fashion Hit & Misses

This year I wasn't wowed by most of the styles the stars came out in.

Almost everyone looked good but I wasn't stopped in my tracks by any particular outfit so we'll jump right into it:

Abigail Breslin

How fast they grow up! When did Little Miss Sunshine start wearing heels?!

I think she looks cute and very age appropriate! :)

Brody Jenner & Jayde Nicole

Now I usually think Jayde looks like a hooker but I must give her props...this was one of my favorite dresses of the night.

Bruno

This is what happens when animals attack Peter Pan.

Forest & Keisha Whitaker
What a fabulous looking couple!

Holly Montag
NO! NO! NO!

Jamie Chung & Rumer Willis
I dig both of these dresses but...
Rumer, the red hair is a little harsh! :(

KeKe Palmer

Her makeup is flawless!

Kristen Stewart
I get it, your such a rebel wearing sneakers with a dress and not brushing your hair...such a badass...lol

Monique Coleman

Shar Jackson
Sweetie can you please have K-Fed increase your child support payments...
The last time I saw this dress is was on a clearance rack in 2004.

But those shoes are cute.

P.S. I'll be posting Martha Mondays later today when I get off of work!

Kiss Me...I'm Irish!! ♠

First...Hope everyone has a fun and safe Happy St. Patty's Day!!!

Second...

Happy Birthday Blondie!!!

Blondie turns the Big 3-0 today and we plan on celebrating big time.

We're going to get our make-up done at a cosmotelogy school (were being frugal) and then going to Howl At The Moon to booze it up and celebrate. There def. will be pictures to show tommorow or the next day.

Head over to her blog and send some love and birthday wishes!

Third...

Did anyone watch the season finale of The City last night?!?

Now I know these shows are pretty much fake but I still am very proud of Whitney.

That chick was cold-blooded handling her shit.

I wish she would have punched Olivia in her anorexic face but none the less she gave her a piece of her mind and I hope Olivia stays in London (I can't stand her!)

I was suprised tho with the whole Jay thing. He looked sincere and I was suprised she turned him down. But she handled hers by using the lines Jay used on her.

GET IT GIRL!! : )
