I'm speechless

This is quite possibly the WORST performance by Gwen I've ever seen. What the hell??

Gwen Stefani's new cd came out this week. Here are my thoughts....

It's pretty good, and has some really good tracks on it. There are a couple of songs on the cd that I absolutely hate. Very hip-hop influenced, which can be expected if Pharrell and the Neptunes are producing. Although, I am a huge fan of the Neptunes and Pharrell, but it's very strange to hear Gwen rapping to cheesy hip hop hooks. They aren't fresh and original. However, I am loving the tracks produced by Tony Kanal (No Doubt). They are much more Gwen's style and are very reminiscent of No Doubt music. (Return of Saturn and Rock Steady) Bottom line - Gwen, honey, you need No Doubt!

I saw this movie today.
I was told that it would be better than Love Actually. The movie held up to my expectations, but it didn't have the same effect on me that Love Actually did. I thought Kate Winslet's character "Iris" was fantastic. I completely related with the character. Even though it's a movie, it feels good sometimes to know that there are other people in the world going through the same trials that you are going through. I am not a huge fan of Cameron Diaz, but I was kinda sorta able to put up with her in the movie. She plays her typical character, but she had a sensitive side to her that was appealing. If you like these sort of movies, I recommend it.

p.s. jude law is absolutely adorable in this flick.

I usually have something of some worth stewing in my brain, just dying to be blogged. But today, I've got nothing! It frustrates me a little bit because my heart and mind have been quite heavy for the past couple of weeks. I really think it is the holidays. Everything just seems to affect me a little bit more than things usually do.
There are a lot of things that bother me about the holidays, but New Year's seems to take the cake. That is the WORST day of the year for me. All of my beautiful friends are on a mission to change that this year, and I am very willing to give them that chance. I'd love a change. It just seems like no matter what (if I'm in very much in love with someone or single at new year's) I still end up feeling alone and crying.
Everything coming to an end kinda freaks me out. I am not a person who welcome change with open arms, and the end of the year seems so final, so deadlineish. It's the time to reflect and think about what you've accomplished in the past 12 months. Sometimes, you accomplish a lot and learn a lot about people and others. Other times, you think about all the things that you wish you wanted to do, and never did.
2006 was an incredible year for me. I found out that being loved doesn't mean having a silly boyfriend. I've received more love from the incredible friends that I have than I could ever ask for. And to you, my remarkable friends, thank you.
I love you, too.
