so long harry

unless you've been living under a rock you know that harry potter and the deathly hollows part 2 (the very last movie in the harry potter series) came out this past friday and smashed all kinds of records!...tons of people ventured out thursday night to see it a midnight...unfortunately i was not one of these people...stupid work!...haha!...but i did go right after work friday night with cool girl!...

i LOVE LOVE LOVE it!!!!...out of the 8 harry potter movies i would have to say that this is my favorite!...there was a lot of story left to be told and not a lot of time to do it in...so the movie didnt waste any time dilly dallying, it just dove right in where part 1 left off...all the important things from the book were in there...including the epilogue...i recommend every potter fan out there to see it!!!...

i gotta say that im sad that its all over...i got this feeling after i read the last book but in the back of my mind i thought well at least i have the last few movies to look forward to...but now its really over...there isnt anything else to look forward to...so now what?...i think im gonna read the books again...ive never read all 7, in order, one right after the other...so i guess i could do that...but i dont know...i always say im gonna do it, but i'll get a few chapters into the first one and then kinda forget about it...so we'll see how it goes this time...haha!!!...

harry's given me many great times since i first picked up harry potter and the sorcerer's stone back in the summer of '01 (wow! its been 10 years already!)...i have such distinct memories of when each book came out (well 5, 6 and 7...the first 4 were already out when i started reading)...i went to banes & noble for the release parties they had...haha!...and i have distinct memories of the movies...the first one came out when i was a junior in high school...my friends and i watched it on dvd ALL THE TIME...it was our go to movie (well that and jimmy neutron...haha!)

so thanks harry potter for all the memories!!!...ill miss you and your magical hold you had over me!...love you! <3

bye bye love vs get down

this summer's nkotbsb tour started off with a different set list than the one that currently being used...when the tour started back at the end of may backstreet boys sang bye bye love...this song has since been taken out and replaced with get down...many fans are super excited about the change...but i for one was not a happy camper...

lets look at some facts about the songs and then ill get into the pros and cons of each...

BYE BYE LOVE:
year - 2009
album - this is us
single? - no
choreo - canes (while it may seem cheesy i know how difficult it really is)
vocal highlight - howie sings lead (not all of it but he has some parts)
crowd reaction - minimal because a lot of people dont know about the 3 post chapter 1 albums

GET DOWN:
year - 1996
album - backstreet boys (both the original red one and the compilation us one)
single? - yes (but not in us)
choreo - original 90's version
vocal highlight - aj's rapping
crowd reaction - crazy...its an old song people havent heard in a while and even fair weather fans know it

i have seen the concert with bye bye love and with get down and i am still on the side of bye bye love...get down def gets the crowd pumped up but it was never one of my faves...when i saw it of course i got super excited and screamed right along with everyone else but in the back of my mind i couldnt help but thing this is where bye bye love should be...

so im sure youre all wondering why i love bye bye love so much...honestly it has nothing to do with the song...(well i do love the song but i disagree with they lyrics..."i think i wanna stay single"...umm absolutely not! being single is the worst!...but thats a whole other story...haha!)...it has more to do with the fact that its a new song...i thought of it as a shout out to all the fans who have stuck with them...i felt special because i knew that song when most people didnt...and i thought of it as a good opportunity to show everyone that they didnt go anywhere...people could hear the song at the concert and say "oh i really liked that song let me go get it"...

when people ask them why they decided to get back together and go on tour with the new kids they always say we never broke up we've had 3 albums and have gone on 3 major world tours...well guess what boys your set list says differently!...they sing about 20 songs and only 1 of them is a post chapter 1 song...and even that one is 6 years old already...its just really frustrating to me because i know how awesome those 3 albums are and i just want other people to know about them too...and having bye bye love in the set list was a perfect way to say hey guys check out our new stuff!!!...but taking it out is like sending up the white flag and giving up...i dont want my boys to give up...their new stuff is great!!!!!

so im still on team bye bye love but i must admit that i am warming up to get down...its really not as awful as i thought it would be...and in a recent video i saw of it howie looks pretty freakin hott!!! love him! <3

okay so here are a few links to YouTube videos...check em out...judge for yourself...and let me know what you think...
bye bye love
get down

bulletpoint time

i dont really have one topic to talk about so i guess ill just give you a quick update of whats been going on in my life!...haha!

~happy 4th of july every one...i know im a day late but what are you gonna do about it...*shrugs*...i celebrated the birth of our fine country in style dts!...our annual bbq was on sunday...unfortunately the weather didnt cooperate with us...it was rainy and yuck all day...try cramming 70 people into a teeny tiny house...yeah, crowd central!...we usually have a lot but not that many...mommom's brother was there from ohio with all his kids and grandkids so that where all the extra people came from...little sis and i spent about a half hour analyzing them trying to figure out who was who...i carried around a cup with my name on it just incase they were doing the same!...haha!!!...my girl cait and her bo E (or aces as tjd was calling him all night...haha!) also showed up for the festivities...which was great!...love them!!!...we had tons of food...tons of drinks (well not me but everyone else...haha!)...some sparkler mishaps (did we get ones that were already used?!...haha!!!)...and tons of fun...it was an overall fun weekend!!!!...

~no news yet on the clark kent front...ugh!...i need to make a move...i really need to tell sports guy and ask him to help me out...its just weird...but then i was thinking about it and we make him tell us about all his dates and stuff so i should be able to tell him to set me up with clark kent (in a non-joking way)...right?!...i dont know how to approach it though...text would be easiest but is that too awkward???...i dont know...why is this so difficult...i need direction!

~im not sure if i ever mentioned this but i have a back up...its totally a joke but its still fun to talk about...i've been wanting to write a blog all about him and our outrageous plans...it was actually going to be my next post but then i found out he has a girlfriend now (i met her this weekend, didnt really talk to her much but she seems very sweet...she even played on the beach with my nephew! =D)...so now i feel weird writing about the out of control wedding im planning with someone who is in a relationship with someone else...everyone knows its a joke but its still weird cause she might not know...i dont want to ruffle any feathers ya know...so we'll see where the future takes us...i might need to find a new backup...haha!

~my vip pictures still arent up...the suspense is killing me!!!...i want to see them so bad!...im so worried that i look terrible in them...i have my fingers and toes crossed that i dont look horrend...

~ i was a guest blogger over at my friend laura's awesome bsb cruise blog...i talked about door decorating...it was really exciting because i never guest blogger before...so that was really cool...so thanks laura for letting me take over your space for a minute!...i really appreciate it!!!...so guys you know what to do...head over there and check it out!

i think thats it for now...if i think of anything else ill be sure to let you know!!!
