I’ve been listening to Today My Life Begins by of course Bruno Mars. Why does he have so much catchy music? But anyway I’ve been working on college searching and what not and that song just seems like the type of song to listen to; it fits the theme? It’s all about moving on and forgetting the past. Hell that’s what I’m ready to do. 

I’m terrified to leave my family and start on my own.. I know how I’m always saying that I want to get out of my house and start my own life but just thinking about it makes me want to vomit. I’m in no way shape or form EMOTIONALLY ready to live on my own. I can cook, do laundry, clean, drive, hold a job.. I’m financially and physically ready but INSIDE of me I’m scared. Why would I want to leave people that have been there for me my whole life? I know it’s apart of the “circle” or whatever you want to call it but I’m still not ready. I’m not sure if anyone knows what I’m saying or not.. 

In order to be successful in life I’m going to have to buck up and continue on my path that I was put on this Earth to walk on. I’ve decided that I’m going to be majoring in Public Relations at whichever college I decide.. I’m having issues deciding lol. I have the whole state of Indiana to choose from. I’m thinking Ball State University, Indiana State University, or Indiana University of Bloomington. Really great choices in my opinion but did I do good enough to make it? I’m really not sure.. I’m working on it! :)

Love you all.

it’s that time of the year again; OCTOBER. you know the time where the kiddies are going trick-or-treating also known as begging for free candy? well there was a time in my life that i went trick-or-treating and participated in all of the halloween fun but now as i grow older i have found myself to straddle away from halloween.. i’d love to be going to pick a pumpkin or dress up to go T-O-T but it just seems weird.. 

me & some friends are considering dressing up this year & heading out to go T-O-T but i don’t know. are we too old? i’m 17 remember.

Let’s start with The X Factor it’s a show that originated in the United Kingdom and was created by Simon Cowell who is well known from American Idol and Great Britain’s Got Talent. It’s of course a singing competition which airs on FOX. It’s much different from American Idol, The Voice, and other singing competitions. Every finalist for the most part can actually sing and I would probably buy their album. The judges are Simon Cowell, Paula Abdul, Nicole Scherzinger, and L.A. Reid. 

The top 17 (originally the top 16 until Simon added Melanie Amaro to his final four making him have a final 5, cheating?) have already been announced!

Boys: Astronomical Kid, Chris Rene, Marcus Canty, Phillip Lomax. 
Girls: Rachel Crow, Melanie Amaro, Simone Battle, Tiah Tolliver, Drew Ryniewicz.
Groups: Lakoda Rayne, inTENsity, Stereo Hogzz, Brewer Boys.
Over 30’s: Dexter Haygood, Josh Krajcik, Leroy Bell, Stacey Francis.

Now let’s move on to my favorite contestant on The X Factor, shall we? Rachel Crow is originally from Colorado but now living in California. She’s 13 years old so as listed above she is being mentored by Simon Cowell in the girls category. She’s got such a great personality and can actually sing as well. So far she has belted out Mercy by Duffy, I want it that way by The Backstreet Boys, If I Were A Boy by Beyonce, and a small part in I have nothing by Whitney Houston. What do you think of Rachel Crow? Follow her on twitter! @iamrachelcrow and visit rachelcrowfans.com (not Rachel’s official site but a fan club).. 

Now on to the last subject of this blog post; Nicole Scherzinger (judge on The X Factor as listed above). You probably know her from The Pussycat Dolls, Popstars, Edens Crush, or possibly even Dancing With The Stars where she won the last season, now if you’ve been watching The X Factor you probably know her from there. You know? The stuck up judge, the one that’s always fake crying? The one that was all over her final four on her couch.. Yeah! Her! I’m sorry but I just can’t stand her. She’s beyond stuck up, and I can tell she is a BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEPPPPP. What do you think of her? Just curious! Haha!

That’s it boys & girls. Thanks for readingggggg.

MISSING PERSON: LAUREN SPIERER, 20, MISSING SINCE JUNE 3RD 2011 FROM BLOOMINGTON INDIANA. LAST SEEN AT AROUND 4:30 AM. DO YOU HAVE ANY INFORMATION ON HER WHEREABOUTS? VISIT FINDLAUREN.COM OR CONTACT THE BLOOMINGTON POLICE ASAP. SHE NEEDS MEDICAL HELP DUE TO A HEART CONDITION.

Alright. I’m so freaking mad right now. Last night The X Factor didn’t come on because of baseball. I guess the game went over so they had to sacrifice The X Factor and keep the game on. 

The only thing most people care about is sports.. BUT COME ON PEOPLE DON’T MAKE MY NIGHT PLAN GET RUINED BECAUSE THE BASEBALL TEAMS COULDN’T FINISH THE GAME IN TIME.

I’m so excited to be getting the brand new iPhone 4s in the next month or so. I’ve had an iPhone 3 before, and it was the best phone I’ve ever had. Right now I’ve got a Samsung flight which is in no way shape or form comparable to the iPhone or any other smartphone for that matter. 

This was just a short blog to sum up my excitement. :)

When I get older I am going to do whatever I can to be happy. I don’t want to turn out like a grumpy old man like a certain someone, not naming names! You have the ability to choose what you do with your life, you should make those choices wisely. Just because you’re regretting that you bought a restaurant that you have to sit at EVERY single day because you’re too cheap to hire a full time manager doesn’t give you the right to treat your employees like $#!^.. Does anyone have someone like this in their life? I know that it can make your day very hard to enjoy. Believe me, been there and I am there. 

Maybe it’s a good thing I’ve seen how you turn out if you don’t follow your dreams. It just inspires to me to do what I want to do even more. I hope this blog message will speak out to a lot of you.

I’ve been actively involved with the Lauren Spierer case ever since she went missing. On June 3rd during the day I just so happened to be in the same area where Lauren had gone missing where I already saw posters of her hanging up. I went home and did some searches on Lauren and I didn’t realize until just then that she had only went missing hours before I had actually seen the posters. 

I have never seen so much determination from anyone even when someone in their family is missing. You can genuinely tell that this family was very close and loving to one another, and that’s nothing but inspiration to me. I instantly started tweeting about Lauren, posting her picture as my profile picture, and I even participated in a search for her. I have never stopped thinking about her, it’s crazy how someone you don’t even know touches you like that. I feel like I’ve known this girl forever and it eats me inside thinking that she’s missing. People are wondering why other cases aren’t getting as much attention as Lauren’s, they even seem to be throwing race, and money in as a factor. That is not at all true. Lauren Spierer’s family have worked so hard in to getting this case coverage and they’ve NEVER stopped. They have more determination that’s why this girl is getting so much coverage. I don’t know why people hate it so much? SHE NEEDS TO BE FOUND. She needs to be home, and safe. It’s sickening that someone is so dark that they will not give information that will lead us to Lauren. 

NEW BLOG LOOK COMING SOON!
I’m going to be completely revamping my blog look with information about Lauren, of course pictures of her all over the background, and her song playing in the background (YES I PURCHASED THE NEWLY WRITTEN SONG ON ITUNES SEE LAST BLOG POST FOR MORE INFORMATION). I plan to immediately start working on this look but please bear with me it’s going to take time. 

Use #findLauren on twitter to continue to spread information about Lauren. Let’s keep her case in the spotlight so we can hopefully find this girl and get her back with her family.
