20-20 Vision

I do not have 20-20 vision. And I hate it. 'Cause I like to be "that cool person." The one in a few people who's got this or that. I don't have 20-20 vision. But I do have 20-20 hearing.


I know what you're thinking, and yes, I am a lunatic. But ever since I realized I have great hearing, I've started boasting that I have 20-20 hearing. Most people laugh, some are punks and say, "That's not a thing!" And I honestly don't care what they think. 'Cause I know I'm ridiculously hilarious.

The point of all this is:
IT'S 2020!!!!!!!
YAYAYAYAY

So I figured I'd talk about something that has to do with 2020, such as my hearing. . .
Anyway. . .

I believe a wrap-up of this past year is in order, and yes I know it's February and most bloggers have already done this, but I do have a life thank you. So now I'm going to talk about the wonderful things that came from my 2019.


MUSIC:

This is a list of my favorite music at the end of this year. Some are long time favorites and others I just found this month.

Little Do You Know  by Alex & Sierra

A sweet song I feel in love with this past month that I expect will be a favorite for years to come.

Show Yourself  by Idina Menzel

Come on, can you blame me? Who didn't fall in love with Frozen music?

Let Her Go  by Passenger

A very sweet song with a calming melody. I heard it on the show Heartland. It is sadly very not in my range, so please don't ever ask me to sing it. Hearts will break, so will glass. . .

The Legend of Ashitaka  by Joe Hisiashi

It comes from a stunning soundtrack of the movie Princess Mononoke. I wouldn't recommend the movie due to violence, gore, some language, and strong supernatural elements; but it was an amazing story with powerful characters and life lessons. And the music. . . It was more than worth the $10 on Itunes (Since you can't really get it anywhere else except Amazon).

Lagos  by Michiru Oshima

So soothing. I listen to this at night when I need to relax. It's also great to listen to on loop while writing. It comes from the movie Patema Inverted, another stellar movie and one that I can recommend. :) It's PG and only has one D word. Prepare to have your mind blown though! Me and my brother enjoy re-watching this movie yearly. Each time we catch something new, and it still hasn't lost all of it's original magic. And the music, again, is great. :)

Read All About It, Pt. III  by Emeli Sandé

Heard this recently on a voice competition audition (ha, say that ten times fast!). At first I thought it was nice, then I started listening to it more and fell in love.

Kimi Dattara (If It Was You)  by Happy Birthday

Japanese, I know. I personally love Japanese music, and could've put many more on this list, but this is probably my favorite. I don't entirely know what it all means, but it's almost prettier that way. Words without meaning are kind of cool, like it's just another instrument that doesn't add meaning, just some inflection to the tone of the song. Sorry that got really deep. . .

Hello  by Lionel Richie

K, who doesn't love this song?! I originally heard it in Herbie Fully Loaded and it was love at first listen. I enjoy this song immensely and could listen to it on repeat for hours probably.

Someone You Loved  by Lewis Capaldi

Whilst a very beautiful song, I enjoy listening to covers simply as a voice preference. I like the Nicole Cross or Lauren Spencer-Smith covers slightly better, but don't complain when the original comes on the radio.

I Will Survive  by Gloria Gaynor

This. Is by far. The swankiest song ever. And I love it. Thank you 80s.

Stronger (What Doesn't Kill You)  by Kelly Clarkson

Who didn't love this Kelly Clarkson hit? It was so catchy. It was on the radio once this last summer and it was like getting hit by a nostalgia brick.


Things That Came From 2019
(That I care about at least)
. . .


HAHAHAHA sorry. . .



(That ending right?!)





Not all in that order necessarily. And yes all of those were movies (or a place for us to watch movies).

Things I'm Excited 4 In 2020

(This was supposed to com out last August, then was pushed to February, and finally March)
(I mean, who isn't?)
(2, obviously)

. . . And that's about it really. . .
No I'm not excited for Black Widow, Wonder Woman, or Mulan (Sorry friend who's really excited for Mulan, I'll still go see it w/ you:})


A Summary Of My Interests & Favs.

    (So when I'm like 150 I can look back and be like, oh yeah! That was totally my jam! (But kids in those days probably won't use jam in expressions anymore)
   -My favorite movie is Star Wars, and always will be.
   -My fav. character is Mara Jade.
   -My 2nd fav. movie is How To Train Your Dragon (all of them in all their gloriousness)
   -I enjoy drawing, painting (I recently got into markers), crochet, stamp making, beading, and just got a drawer thing w/ wheels to hold all my artsy needs)
   -Music, obviously. I currently play guitar, piano, accordion, kalimba, ocarina (6 & 12 hole), shakers, cajon, and. . . I think that's it?
   -I enjoy reading & writing.
   -And costume/cosplay.

   So, I mean, that's about it. I think. I mean, yeah. . .

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!


♪I'm loving it♪
