Let's Talk About the Best Album of 2019

Happy New Year's Eve! Its the last day of the year and the last day of the decade (2009-2019). I thought I'd talk about my favorite album of the year. I would have done if the decade but I couldn't choose one.

This year has been such an amazing year for music. I thought 2018 couldn't be topped, but I was so wrong.

My choice for best album of 2019 is Machine Gun Kelly's Hotel Diablo.

This is my most played album of the year. Its SO good. I love it so much. Its full of bops and it hits home for me, personally.

This year has been hard regarding family. I very much related to alot of the subject matter on this album. I won't do a track by track because then the post will be way too long but if you're interested in my Kinda Review of it let me know.

I'm not the biggest fan of rap. I listen to Kendrick Lamar and Childish Gambino mostly. I was never into MGK. Even when all the stuff with Eminem was happening I didn't pay him any attention. However, I watched The Dirt because I love Motley Crüe and Douglass Booth. I loved MGK's portrayal of Tommy Lee - whom I used to have the biggest crush on.

My younger brother told me about MGK's new album which literally dropped a few days before I watched The Dirt. I decided to give him a chance. I fell in love with Hotel Diablo after my first listen. I didn't even fall in love with Pray for the Wicked that quick. But this album speaks to me.

I relate to feeling betrayed by family. Feeling suicidal and lost. Like there's no way out. I love the short tracks where they're just fooling around in the studio. "A Message from the Count" is ICONIC! We stan Pete Davidson in this household.

I love the rock undertones on this album. If you know me, you know my main music genre preference is everything under the rock umbrella. I don't always like rock and rap mixes, but it works on this album.

My favorite song off the album is "I Think I'm OKAY" with YUNGBLUD and Travis Barker. That song was the final push I needed to finally get into YUNGBLUD. Its a great song. Its catchy. This year has been hard on my mental health but this song has been a pick me up.

If you haven't listened to the album, I highly recommend it. Sure MGK has made mistakes in the past but give him another chance.

As my last post of 2019, I want to wish you a Happy New Year and to a successful 2020 full of good mental and physical health and happiness. We all need happiness. Thank you for supporting my blog this year. You don't understand how much I appreciate it.

Hopefully I get WiFi back in 2020.

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...

Fangirl Friday: Deleasa

Heyo! Happy Friday! It's that time of the week when I ramble about someone I love! Today's subject is DJ and producer, Deleasa. His name is Mike Deleasa and while I normally refer to my subjects by first name in these posts, I will be referring to him by his stage name, Deleasa. NOW to understand how I became a fan of Deleasa, we have to go all the way back to 2012, when Kevin and Danielle Jonas' reality show, Married to Jonas premiered. I bet you're wondering what does this guy have to do with the Jonas Brothers? Deleasa is actually Danielle's brother, making him Kevin's brother-in-law. He was featured in the reality show and I ended up falling in love with him. He was actually my parasocial "rebound" from Joe. You can read all about my parasocial breakup with Joe in my Fangirl Friday about him . But enough about the Jonas Brothers. That's not why we're here. Plus I've already written 30k words about them on this blog. However, I am for...

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...
