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.

Why Blue is the Real Villain of Blue's Big City Adventure

Okay, so maybe "villain" isn't the right word. Blue is more like the antagonist. This post is about the Blues' Clues & You movie Blue's Big City Adventure. So there will be spoilers. If you have Paramount+, it's only an hour watch. I promise it is worth the watch if you have watched Blue's Clues in any capacity. Blue's Big City Adventure poster If you were born in the 90s or early 2000s like me then you most likely watched the original Blue's Clues show hosted by either Steve (Steve Burns) or Joe (Donovan Patton). I have an older and a younger brother, so I got to experience both. However, MY host was Steve, and I am a Steve fan til the day I die. I have Blue's Clues & You playing in the background as I write this post because I realized I haven't watched a single episode of the new series despite watching the movie 6 times. I cannot stress enough how much I love Blue's new design. She looks so much fluffier. The original Blue...

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...

That Time Rod Stewart Found Other Ways of Doing Cocaine

 Heyo! Happy Monday! This week's That Time... is a doozy. If you're a classic rock fan or a fan of Rod Stewart, you probably know exactly what this post is about. This one is a short one, but an interesting one. So bear with me. Of course need to put a warning about drug use. There are plenty of other posts that you are more than welcome to check out if this isn't your thing. If you are unfamiliar with Rod Stewart, let me introduce you to the ICON! He's a rockstar who also has a few pop bangers. I grew up with his music and can't remember a time in my life without his music. The first song I think of when he pops into my head is "Do Ya Think I'm Sexy?" . I know it's the most basic song of his, but I have fond memories listening to the song on the radio when I was a kid. He's also dabbled in a few bands, but I am more familiar with his solo work than his bands. Though check out his band, Faces. In 2012, Rod released his autobiography, Rod: The A...
