That Time America Elected Their First Female Vice-President

Heyo! I hope you're doing well. I still want to keep this blog free of politics, but this is a momentous thing that happened, in the United States, so I thought I'd write about it. This will not include any of my personal political beliefs. It won't be a long post.

If you have been living under a rock, or outside of the United States, 2020 was an election year and we elected Joe Biden - former Vice-President. His election is nothing new. We've had a long line of old white dudes in the Oval Office since the beginning. The only time anything changed was when Barack Obama was our first black President.

We inaugurated Joe Biden on Wednesday, January 20, 2021. However, this post is not about him. This post is about his choice for Vice-President, Kamala Harris. Why? She is this country's first female Vice-President. Not only is she a woman, but she is black and Indian.

Something my mom also pointed out is that she is married to a Jewish guy which means we have an interracial couple in one of the highest offices where interracial relationships were illegal not long ago. Harris becoming Vice-President breaks a lot of barriers for women and people of color.

Before she was elected Vice-President, she was a Senator, Attorney General, and District Attorney in California. She holds a Law Degree from the University of California, Hastings, and a Bachelor's Degree in political science and economics. I am confident; she is more than qualified for her job.

I hope that she and President Biden do what is right for this country, but we'll have to wait and see.

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...
