A Hard Day's Night

A college student can relate to the title. You have to stay up long hours at night to pass a test
that determines your life and before the test, you have to pull an all nighter at your job because your coworker decides to call in sick. However, lucky for you, I'm not talking about college or my back up plan of becoming a stripper if I fail. I'm talking about The Beatles movie that came out in 1964. It's fun watching a piece of history because you can learn so much from it. The humor in movies change drastically over time. In my opinion, comedy movies now are more slapstick humor which involves physical activity and pushing the boundaries of common sense. Thank you Wikipedia.

 The Beatles 'A Hard Day's Night' seems to be more polar, you either get it or you don't at all. That's how it was in my class when we watched it. The scene that intrigued me is John Lennon's bath tub boat singing and magically disappears after the water is drain. AND that scene when The Beatles first met Paul's Grandfather and Ringo horrible performance of a laugh. I recommend watching The Beatles "A Hard Day's Night" for a good laugh. It will really brighten your day, and give you a sense of what real comedy is. That's right, I just went there. REAL COMEDY! I'll leave you with this.

Jamie Foxx!

  Jamie Foxx is one of my favorite musician, comedian and actor. The guy is a triple threat! I love and look up to Jamie with a passion. He is one of my inspirations that made me want to sing. His smooth, velvety voice is great. It's the type of voice you sleep to. The first song I heard from him was Unpredictable from his album "Unpredictable" in 2005. I heard the song when I was in Elementary. I was so into his hype, I even got the song for my ringtone. I had to change it because my phone rang and everybody gave me a weird look. I didn't really pay attention to the lyrics to the back then but when I did, WHOO it was naughty.

Jamie is known for the playing the role of Ray Charles in "Ray", Django in "Django Unchained" and The President in "White House Down" with Channing Tatum. Speaking of Channing Tatum, he and Jamie did a skit on Jimmy Kimmel called "Channing all over your Tatum". It's hilarious! Jimmy Kimmel part is awkward though.

The also made a official Music video that includes Miley Cyrus. Don't worry, there's no twerking. Hear it is if you're interested.

I also recommend watching "Straight from the Foxxhole". It's a great movie that shows Jamie Foxx in his stand-up days. Near the end of the movie, he closes his stand-up routine by wooing his audience.
Watch with your own risk because you will be jealous after.

Monty Python-The Black Knight

I was introduced to Monty Python in class and I just wanted to express my opinion on them. THEY'RE HILARIOUS. I couldn't contain my laughter when I saw The Black Knight. The idea of coconuts clapping together to make a horse gallop to the part where the Black Knight loses both his arm and kicked the king is funny beyond all reason. To me, it's more of a stupid funny. It's funny because its stupid. I liked how they involved visionary comedy as well.

Here's the scene from Monty Python and The Knights of the Holy Grail.

Batman sings like a boss

When I was a kid.. who am I kidding, I'm still a kid. When I was younger, I use to watch a lot of cartoons, Who didn't? I remember watching an episode of Justice League and I was just amazed of what I saw. It wasn't the fighting or the explosions, but it was Batman singing. I remember watching it with my jaw dropped to the floor cause it was just so shocking and stunning to me.Batman sings "Am I Blue", orginally written by  Harry Askt and Grant Clarke in 1929. I recommend you watch this to understand how I feel. It's mind blowing.


And here's a funny clip from Batman Brave and The Bold. By the way, best superpower ever.

The Beatles got me screaming

my pants off. Is what every girl in the 1960s-1970s would say. They would also be screaming "LET ME HAVE YOUR BABIES!" We've been listening to The Beatles in class and it's hard NOT to like them. It's even harder how to explain why I like their music. Theirs suits? Their haircuts? Their talent at singing and songwriting? Yeah, that must be it. But really I can't explain it. It's like me trying to help my mom pronounce Scooby-Doo.

To be honest, the first time I got into their music is when my friend bought The Beatles Rock Band. The song that got me hooked is "Do You Want To Know A Secret?". It's smooth and groovy. Did I just really use the word groovy to say how I feel?

And the ONE SONG that made me feeeelll is "OH, Darling". It was different from every other song that I heard. Well, not different but approached in a new way. Well, not new but old.. I don't know where I'm going with this. I FREAKING LOVE THE VOCALS TO THIS SONG! If I sang the chorus like how Paul did, my larynx would've popped out of my throat and slapped me screaming "WHY STEVEN,WHY!" Paul's voice sounded like it was going to shred, in a good way.

Misleading Titled

Ladies and Gentleman, It's about that time where we start renting our suits and dresses for prom. But the magic doesn't happen at the dance, it happens after it. Soon as the dance is over, you ask your significant other to go home with you. They may be hesitant at first but he or she trust you, and you trust them. At your house, you offer them a drink. NO ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES. Give them juice or soda, maybe even a protein shake. You two are having the grand time, you're bonding with them, understanding them, loving them but conversation goes south. Then you go over to your parent's vinyl collection and find a record. D'angelo. It was like an angel came to your rescue cause you know, D'ANGELo. She looks uncomfortable so as a last resort, you pop in the record hoping and praying "god oh god please help me!". The music plays. She looks at you, you look at her, I look at you thinking "Go for it". And you make eye contact and say "May I have the last dance with you?" The magic happens. You had the last dance with her and both of you will remember as the best night of you life. Thanks to D'Angelo. AND YOU ONLY DANCED WITH HER, NOTHING ELSE.

I had to find a lyric video of this song because the real music video... WOOWEE is it graphic!
If actually look up the music video, you can tell that I base my image off of him but really, I can't. Cause I'm asian.
