Gangsta yo!

Got money and you know it take it out of your pocket & show it throw it that's a way...yeahhh...that's way...yeah...

Sometimes I wish I was a rapper. I mean, I have the booty for it, I surf Urban Dictionary all the time on what's the latest speak on the streets, I regularly incorporate the words hood, word, and yo in my everyday vocabulary, and know if I learn ebonics I'll be hardcore, yo. Plus how cool would that be to wear expensive bling whenever you wanted and drink all the time? Sweet gig, I'd say.

Usually my rapper-like tendencies come out when I've had a few drinks. First it starts off with me starting to dance aka shakin' that thang, even if no one else around me is. Then, I'll start to sing along with songs, complete with hand motions. My most recent memory of this behavior had to be one summer when my brother threw a kegger in our backyard. I was in the middle of playing beer pong, when "The Next Episode" came on. I stopped what I was doing, and proceeded to sing loudly every word complete with gangsta hand gestures. Needless to say, I was the life of the party.

I leave you now with the best video I've seen all day. Taylor Swift, who's sweet & wholesome like me, also has an alter ego - T-Swizzle. I need to come up with one. STAT. Anyways, since I am not a rapper yet, I'm going to imagine I'm her in this video with T-Pain, because that's exactly how I'd be...yo!

I'm a Country Girl

I've been on a country music kick lately.

The last time this happened was probably a year ago, when I was carpooling to work with a now former coworker. Being from Texas, she preferred to listen to country music. Here in the great CO, we only have two stations that I know of that play country. Anyways, due to her influence, I listened to country music for two weeks straight. Then after that, I took a long break from it and went back to listening to crappy hip hop, top 40, and pop music.

Well, now I'm back and with a vengeance, if you could even say that. I'm pretty sure that's not the right word, but whatever. I love my country music right now, but would never be an actual cowgirl. I went to that festival this past weekend, I saw miss Adams county. Boy was she all dressed up - in jeans, chaps, an obnoxiously teal shirt with a huge cowboy hat and tiara on. Trust me, if she had any more makeup on, I'd have thought she was a wax statue. I don't like western clothes, never did, never will. I don't own any cowboy or cowgirl boots either. I just like listenin' to the music and pretending to be out in the West, rounding up horses and cattle while drinkin' whiskey. Or maybe I just like talkin' cowboy slang. I've been using the words cowboy, saddle, and country way way too much. At least this is a phase, right? Right.
