Grammy's Review

The Grammy's were last night! I wasn't originally planning to watch the show until I found out just hours before the show that Beyonce was performing I HAD to watch! And not only did she perform, BUT SHE OPENED THE SHOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!



Words cannot describe the amount of sexiness that occurred in that performance. It was very simple unlike most of her performances and I loved it! 

Later in the night, my favorite band performed my favorite song off their Night Visions album. Imagine Dragons teamed up with Kendrick Lamar to perform "Radioactive" and "MAAD City" in what came to be unanimously vote as the best performance of the night!



Macklemore also performed his smash hit "Same Love" with Mary Sambert and appearances by Madonna and Queen Latifah. I was nearing tears because it was so adorable!

How Beyonce Not Only Ran the World, But 2013 As A Whole

We already knew Beyonce ran the world before she officially told us all in the catchy, girl power song, but she proved it in 2013 more than ever. Let's count the times shall we? (In no particular order)


  1. When she sang at President Obama's second inauguration. When Barack Obama himself honored her as America's greatest national resource.
  2. When even Bill Clinton was stunned by her beauty and perfection at said inauguration.
  3. When she announced she was performing at the Super Bowl

  4. When she stomped the red bloods cells out of her legs doing her signature strut of sexiness at the beginning of her performance

  5. And she did the sexiest thumb lick ever known to man
  6. When the Queen stood there in all her glory and absorbed the energy from the crowd
  7. The Pepsi endorsement
  8. The Pepsi commercial featuring the past Beyonces in all of their glory
  9. And then she absorbed all of those Beyonces to become one incredible Beyonce. She premiered "Grown Woman" in the commercial
  10. And then after the iconic Super Bowl performance she announced her Mrs. Carter World Tour dressed as the Queen she is

  11. Her H&M endorsement and swimsuit line. Not forgetting she debuted new song "Standing on the Sun" in the commercial 

  12. She won her 17th Grammy!
  13. Can't forget her gown at the Met Gala SLAYED!
  14. When she released "Bow Down" and slaughtered the careers of every female artist past, present and future!
  15. She shocked the world when she cut her hair off....and then shocked us once again when she magically grew it back days later -__-
     
  16. When she took the best selfie in the world! 
  17. This guy CLEARLY knew the proper way to address the Queen 
  18. When she released a chart topping album AND TOLD NO ONE! 
  19. And then "surfboart" became the highlight of the album 
  20. And finally, she's just Flawless

Tats!

Sooo this year I'm planning to get my first tattoo! I've been planning to get the two Theatre masks for at least a year now and just a few months ago, I found the perfect sketch of what I wanted it to look like!
I love the ribbons and checkerboard detailing on the sketch. I actually found it online instead of getting a direct sketch done by someone. I couldn't have explained it to anyone anyway....the way I see and understand things in my head never translate to others properly. :-/

Originally, I was only planning on getting the Theatre tattoo but recently, I decided one getting a second one! 
My main focus is getting the arrow. I'm not interested in the full quote that's underneath. I'm just going to shorten it to "Stay focused, keep aiming". 

I have yet to find the perfect placement for either of my future tattoos. I've been contemplating forever on whether I should get the masks on the back of my left shoulder or on the front. I know it doesn't sound like such a big deal but for some weird reason, placement means everything to me.

These are the only two tats I am certain on getting. My sister and I briefly discussed getting matching tattoos and so did my two best friends. However, neither if those are set in stone. I'd get one with my sister in a heartbeat but my friends? They've been with me for years but eh....I say if they're still here in 5 years, I'm cool with matching tats!

Babe Is Trying to Kill Me

Okay so yesterday I'm on the phone with my Babe and he asked me how I felt about owning a fox as a pet. Yup, he legit wants a fox....a wild animal as a pet. So my thought process was somewhere along the lines of "Hell no, I don't want a fox!" But I decided I'll at least look into it because he brought it up.
My main concern with having a fox as a pet is the fact that they're not domesticated, they're trained. Domestication takes YEARS! And just because someone trained a fox doesn't mean it's not a wild animal with the ability to bite my face off.

Any who, I decided to Google it to see what would come up and I came across the creepiest site! Not only did they sell foxes, but other strange animals as well. Seriously guys, they were selling camels as household pets. Like you could either rent a camel for a specific amount of time or you could actually purchase a baby camel to own. Who the fuck wants to own a camel?! Like what are you supposed to do with it? What exactly is the purpose of having a camel? Or a fox? Or a zebu for that matter? Yes, I did say a zebu. I'd never heard of them before but apparently this suspicious ass website sells those as well. -___-

I'm not exactly sure why Babe wants a fox but I am pretty sure I don't want one. However, I have to admit they are extremely adorable!
