I love to sing but suck at it now!!

There once was a time where I could sing. I wasn't Whitney Houston but I could hold a tune. I was even in a Musical at age 23 years. It was a great moment to say I was in a Musical and something I can write off my bucket list of things to do before I die. I joined the choir my mother was involved in because I needed to do something to get over my shyness. Yes, I was extremely shy!! What better way to get over being shy then to sing in front of people. I had a great time which lead me into being asked to be involved with a Musical with our local theater. It was a great experience. After that I just sang for me. I enjoy singing and I would do it ofter but after I got really sick with my son's pregnancy 4 years ago I stopped singing as often. The anemia and other medical problems have gotten in the way but now I'm having a hard time singing. I'm so bummed. Maybe someday I will sing for my own enjoyment again but until then I will sing within my head. Take care, Peace!!

It's a new thing I'm into!!!!

Last night I was going to be good and go to bed early but then the hubby was fixing his computer so we could watch our You Tube video's up on the TV instead of on our laptops. Then a video came up and we watched it. I laughed my ass off. This guy was so funny. His name is Philip DeFranco and he is the 23 year old host of the Philip DeFranco Show. The show has accrued over, 130 million views, and maintains the best audience EVER! The show is DeFranco’s soapbox to talk about everything and anything that interests Philip DeFranco. His website phillyd.tv has more videos so go check him out. It's not like I meant to stumble on this guys work. I was going to be responsible and go to bed early but this video was presented to us on our huge TV so I had to watch it. After we watched this video we had to watch more. So going to bed early just went out the door. We were hooked. The dude is funny. It's like he's on speed and I don't think he is but the way he talks so fast and goes from one topic to the next is just too funny. What is a SAHM supposed to do? I'm taking a break from Jon and Kate plus 8. I enjoy the discussions but I just need something new at the moment. I'm tired of Gosselin's Without Pity AKA GWOP with their harassing Pastor's and bitching about exploitation when in fact they are screwed up people who need to get some therapy. I have no problem with Jon and Kate Gosselin and I like watching their show but I just need a break from all the snarking for awhile. I enjoyed my time writing my opinion on GWOP's counter blog Gosselin's do not need our Pity and the women there were more level headed. Plus if I tried to write an opinion on GWOP it won't go through because they are one sided which if you hate The Gosselin's your comments get through. You got it!!! So it just happens I found this dude and I'll check out his career more often from now on. This guy I think is a genus and the stuff he comes up with making fun of what's happening in the moment is just Brilliant!!!! Well the last thing I'm getting into is the show called The Doctor's. It's my new Dr. Phil. It's a panel of Doctor's taking about medical stuff. My bff told me about it and how she likes this show so yesterday it happened I put the kids down early and I just happened to check out what was on TV and it was coming on after the Bonnie Hunt show so because I trust my bff in great entertainment I decided to check it out. I think I'm hooked on this new show also. So much change and new interests. I have to spice it up once in awhile so things don't get boring. Jon and Kate plus 8 isn't going anywhere soon so I'll lurk and read but I won't be as involved as I was the last few months. I made my blog with Adult Content protection and I think it's a good idea for I do have adult content on here at times. Take care, Peace!!!!

Imagination Movers!

Anyone with children probably have come across this show on the Disney channel the Imagination Movers. At first I was thinking not another show going to make me lose brain cells but after watching this show with my daughter who loves this show and never misses it at 10:00am every morning and after some crying and tantrums I decided to give my thumbs up and give it a shout out on behalf of my daughter seeing how this show is her favorite of all time.

What would happen if the Beastie Boys collaborated with Mr. Rogers?

The answer is found on the Imagination Movers' critically acclaimed CDs “Calling All Movers,” “Good Ideas” and "Eight Feet" and the DVD “Stir It Up.”The Movers sing about messy rooms, healthy snacks, sibling rivalry and other topics that relate to being a little kid. Their musical style, however, would sound right at home on a weekly MTV countdown.The Movers – Rich, Scott, Dave and Smitty -- began in New Orleans in 2003 and now are fast-rising stars on the national kids music scene thanks to their combination of radio-friendly songs, kid-friendly themes and dynamic live shows. In concert, the Movers teach high-energy dances, play games with the audience and make music on their one-of-a-kind trashcan drumset. Kids and parents help perform new kids classics like “Shakable You,” “The Medicine Song,” “What’s in the Fridge?” and “I Want My Mommy (Time for Bed).”The Movers are a big hit on XM Kids national satellite radio, where they have launched three songs to the top of the charts. They have also won a total of 14 national music awards and were named a “Parenting Pick” by Parenting Magazine in May 2005. An ongoing tour of U.S. cities creates new Movers fans (affectionately known as “Gearheads”) in the wake of every show.In September 2008, Disney Channel debuted a new television series featuring Rich, Scott, Dave and Smitty as blue-collar brainstormers working hard to solve “idea emergencies” in their Idea Warehouse, a clearinghouse of infinite inspirations. Through songs, stories and skits, Imagination Movers moves kids to exercise their bodies and brains.Movers audio and video encourages kids to “reach high, think big, work hard and have fun!” The Movers themselves are leading by example as they captivate new fans daily with their winning sound and style.

Meet the Movers: Mover Rich is the Movers’ multi-instrumentalist and the man behind the controls in the recording studio. Originally from the Washington, D.C. area, Collins relocated to New Orleans in the early 1990s to form the rock group Dubly. The Movers’ unique “junk” drum set is a hybrid of the setups used by street performers in D.C. and New Orleans. Collins is married with five children. In the Idea Warehouse, Rich’s drum sticks double as "Scribble Sticks," which can be used to draw pictures and words right on the TV screen. Mover Scott is an award-winning elementary school teacher, Durbin first dreamed up the idea for "Imagination Movers" in 2003. Inspired by Mr. Rogers and Captain Kangaroo, Durbin's goal is to bring strong male role models to children's programming. The son of a military chaplain, Durbin grew up all over the world, including Thailand, Washington, D.C. and San Antonio, before his family settled in New Orleans when he was in second grade. He continued to travel throughout high school and college, studying abroad in both Japan and Denmark. The mandolin playing Durbin credits these adventures with giving him the ability to see things from a variety of perspectives, a trait he brings to the series through his characteristic "Wobble Goggles."Prior to the Movers, Durbin was an award-winning teacher, earning the New Teacher of the Year award from Isidore Newman School and a Teacher of the Year award from the St. Charles Parish public school district. He received an undergraduate degree in religious studies from Centenary College of Louisiana, and a graduate teaching certificate from the University of New Orleans. Durbin's interest in music stems from his childhood and the time he spent as the front man for various alternative bands throughout the 80's and 90's.Mover Scott is married with two wonderful kids. Mover Dave is an architect by trade, Poche was part of the design team for the New Orleans Saints practice facilities and also designed various New Orleans-based banks, office buildings and hotels. He most recently worked on several designs that are part of the post-Katrina rebuild efforts. As 'Imagination Mover Dave,' Poche is the Movers' "jack-of-all-trades," using his red gadget hat as a storage device for a variety of objects, many of which he uses to make his cool gizmos and contraptions. Poche is also responsible for creating the concept of the Warehouse Mouse puppet, a mainstay in the series. An active father, he has taken time from his busy schedule to serve as a Cub Scout den leader as well a coach for his children’s T-ball, basketball and soccer teams.While he has no formal theatrical or musical training, Poche did fiddle with the bass briefly in college and has a colorful performance background that includes a stint as a stand-up comic. Like his fellow Movers, he is inspired by 1980s and '90s rock, pop and alternative music and by his front-lines experience dealing with his children's sleepless nights, messy playrooms and other growing pains. Originally from Baton Rouge, Poche received his degree from Louisiana State University and moved to his wife's hometown of New Orleans 13 years ago. Despite losing their home to Hurricane Katrina, the couple has returned to the New Orleans area where they currently reside with their two young children. Mover Smitty, a New Orleans firefighter, has spent the past five years as part of Engine 7 on Basin Street and was a part of the Hurricane Katrina search-and-rescue effort. While he was the only Mover not to lose his home to the storm, his firehouse was destroyed and continues to operate out of a trailer.Guitarist Smith is the adventurous outdoorsman of the group; growing up in Southern Louisiana, he hunted and fished every weekend as a child, and continues to do so in his spare time. He's also an avid hiker and enjoys exploring America's National Parks. Smith brings his outdoor experiences to the group by blowing duck and goose calls on some of the band’s songs, including "I Heard That."An English Literature graduate of the University of New Orleans, Smith's given Mover prop is his trusty journal, which represents his Indiana Jones-like scholarly personality and is used as a resource when the Movers are trying to solve a problem. A New Orleans native, Smith resides in the city with his wife and two dogs. With a group of guys who sing, dance and who teach my children to learn to solve problems at the same time having a great time is a show I enjoy my children to watch. It amazes me how I enjoy watching this show with them in the morning. I love how my daughter gets up and dances and tries to sing the songs. It's great to know there are still shows out there to teach your children about good behaviour at the same time having a great time. Thanks Imagination Movers!

Charice Pempengco!

http://www.charicepempengco.com/ I am a person who loves music. Awhile ago I watched a show on Oprah and usually I don't watch Oprah as much as I used to but this particular show was about young gifted and talented children. I love watching the talents of children and how inspiring it is that a 2 year old knows every Country in the World by pointing on a map or that a 4 year old can play the piano and so on. This show was a re-run of Oprah and she had a young girl who at the time was 15 years old and was discovered on You Tube. She was going to sing a Whitney Houston song. I was thinking good Lord I hope she can sing because it's a pet peeve of mine when a singer who thinks they have a voice butches a song from a singer like Whitney Houston. Charice grew up in the Philippines and now she was on Oprah ready to blow the world away. The moment she opened her mouth and started singing I knew this girl was going to go far in life with that powerful voice. I was speechless and on top of it crying with tears rolling down my face watching her perform. I couldn't believe this tiny young girl could sing like this. She was also on Ellen back in December 2007 which I watched the You Tube video of her performance. I just have to say..Wow with all her performances. I haven't been this inspired by a talented singer like this in along time. Yes, there are great singers but she in my opinion is at the top with singers like Celine Dion, Marah Carey, Whitney Houston and all the great Singing Diva's like Diana Ross and Aretha Franklin. Her voice is so powerful and every time I listen to her sing I cry like a blubbering idiot. The tears just flow and the emotions are of pure happiness. She's going to go places in her career and with someone like David Foster backing her up we will see a lot of her in the future. If you don't know who David Foster is go google him and then you will understand why I know she will go far in her career. Here is a link to Oprah's website where Charice was invited to sing with Celine Dion at Madison Square Gardens back in September 2008. http://www.oprah.com/media/20080919_tows_charice Geez, I can't stop crying when I hear her sing. This young girl inspires me and I feel it's important to give her a shout out and help promote her talent. She is an amazing young girl and her life story was hard yet she didn't give up on her dreams to be a famous singer. With dedication and hard work she is achieving her dreams one day at a time. On her website she has a video about her life. She is just beautiful and inspiring. I am blessed she wants to share her life story and her talent to the masses and I'm glad and thankful she lets me enjoy her voice. Go check her out and you will be surprised. You may not cry like a blubbering idiot like myself but she will just blow you away with her voice. I will be watching her career. Take care..peace!
