Happy Birthday, Shane!

Today is Shane Dawson's 30th birthday! He is a YouTuber comedian if you don't know. And he is one of my heroes.

It sounds ridiculous now, as I remember as a 21-year-old, but I was depressed and suicidal when I was in middle school. I was at a new school. I was failing classes for the first time in my life. My new school sucked - all [redacted because I made bad judgments] schools are run by the devil. I wasn't having a good time.

Then I found Shane on YouTube. YouTube was a new concept at the time of my middle school days. While I was young and still somewhat innocent, I loved how inappropriate and funny Shane's videos were. If I was having a horrible day at school, I could go home and watch one of his videos and let me tell you I rewatched his videos HUNDREDS of times because he only posted once a week and I watched him every single day.

This is the video that saved changed my life:

I CAN'T INSERT IT BUT THIS IS THE LINK

I rewatched this video to add it to the post and it made me cry because I remember watching it for the first time and thinking that I mattered to at least one person, if not everyone else.

But anyway, Shane Dawson saved my life and he is one of my all-time heroes and today he turned 30 and I am so proud of how far he's come and I am just going to include some of his more iconic videos - mostly his old music videos. I want to celebrate him and his YouTube career.

I am a stan and I stand behind all his music because I personally enjoy it.

Let us start with the MOST ICONIC: "Superluv" - Again I can't insert the video so the link is the title. This is still one of my favorite songs and I still know every single word because I am Shane Dawson TRASH!

Let us not forget about "Douchebag"! It won't let me insert videos, but I am trying to link them all.

Basically, Shane is amazing! I love him so much and this was just a quick blog to say HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

I'll go into a more in-depth explanation of why I love him and will forever support him in a later post, because that's going to take a lot of time to write because there is so much. Ten years of supporting him to unwrap.

But let's end with my absolute favorite song of his "Fuck Up".

Zac Efron and Garrett Clayton are Basically the Same Person

I, a 21-year-old adult, is still a HUGE fan of the High School Musical franchise. In high school, had I been a better planner, I would have asked Lucas Grabeel to be my prom date. And even though I was older than most viewers, I did love Teen Beach Movie when it came out. In this post, I am going to explain how Zac Efron and Garrett Clayton are basically the same person. Let's start at the beginning. You may know Zac Efron as Troy Bolton in the Disney Channel Original Movie (or DCOM), High School Musical and it's franchise. He is the attractive blue-eyed, protagonist of all three HSM movies. And I will admit that I was a huge fangirl for him in my youth. Honestly, now I can't stand him. But that's for another post. Zac portrayed Troy in all three HSM films, but he only sang in the last two. That's right. Zac Efron did not sing in the first HSM movie. That was the amazingly talented Drew Seeley whom I will love till the day I die. Similarly, Garrett Clayton pl...

Is Marvin from Falsettos Abusive? And Why is He Such an Easy Character to Hate?

Is Marvin abusive? Short answer: yes. Long answer: You've come to the right place. "I love my tight-knit family. I love the way they cook linguine." Let's get this out of the way, this blog, as all of my blog posts are, is 100% my opinion. Unless stated directly that it is fact, this is all what's going on in my mind. Thoughts from a fangirl, if you will. Also I have to use Spotify to link the songs, because the entire 2016 revival cast album is not on YouTube and I know the revival album better than the original albums. Also this post is going to be long because I'm actually going through actual lines from the musical. I am going to try to sprinkle some photos into this post. "Lovers come and lovers go." Listen to "Marvin Hits Trina" on Spotify. Let's start with the most obvious: Marvin hits Trina after learning that she's going to marry Mendel. Where can you find this scene? In "Marvin Hits Trina". It'...

That Time A President Conducted Meetings from the Toilet

Happy Monday! Another week ahead. This week's weird moment from history is how President Lyndon B. Johnson conducted meetings and interviews while on the toilet. I learned way too much about LBJ while doing research for this post and it is going to be a LONG time before I write another weird history post about him. But there will be at least another one in the future. Man was weird. Quick history lesson for my non-Americans who may not know who LBJ is. Lyndon Baines Johnson was the 36th President of the United States. He assumed the position following the assassination of John F. Kennedy. He was president from 1963 til 1969. NOW if you're like me and you grew up with the rewatching the movie Forrest Gump over and over again your first introduction to LBJ might be when Forrest was being honored with the Medal of Honor and showed the president where he was "shot in the buttocks" during the Vietnam War. I haven't watched Forrest Gump in years, but if you haven't...
