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 forever grateful to them for introducing me to Deleasa because I am still a fan of his to this day. As I started writing this, I was watching his TikTok live stream where he was just DJing and hanging out. It was the highlight of my day. He actually has a live set on his YouTube that you should totally check out.

After dropping Joe, I became a casual fan of Deleasa who I just knew as Mikey at the time. Absolutely loved whenever he appeared on the reality show. Loved seeing him with his sisters. Also was obsessed with his friendship with Joe - still am if I'm being honest. The part in the show when Joe asks him to open for the Jonas Brothers has lived rent-free in my head for over a decade.

Ironically, I loved that part of the show, but I never dived into his music. I want to say, it never clicked in my brain that he even made music. I followed him on Instagram and kept with him that way for years, but it was at a distance. Like when you go on Facebook and see a post from a friend from high school you haven't spoken to in years and you just go "hm" but then move on. But with the return of my Jonas fixation came the return of my love for Deleasa. Or maybe my old crush evolved into love for him. This time around, I DID get into his music. And I love it.

LET ME JUST SAY I need singer-songwriter Deleasa back. I am sorry I didn't appreciate him while we had him, but I would sell my soul for his return. My favorite song from that era is definitely "Heart of Stone" with "Discount Paradise" coming in close second. There's just something about the chill vibe of that era that I yearn for. It is totally cozy cafe energy which we love to see. Or hear, rather.

We may have lost singer-songwriter Deleasa, but now we have DJ and producer Deleasa who keeps releasing banger after banger. I'll be honest, I am not the biggest fan of what I would call "club music" but I do love his tracks. As of writing this post, my favorite Deleasa songs are "Endless Summer" with NEZZA and his remix of "Happy Face" by Jagwar Twin. Those are my two most played Deleasa tracks.

Besides his music, I absolutely LOVE his Instagram. His is one of the accounts I check almost daily. I love the photos he takes whether he's traveling or not. I very much enjoy his photography. Even if it's not an aesthetic photo, I love the way he photographs his friends or funny things he sees. I live for his and Joe's CCTV camera shots and videos.

If Deleasa ever sees this post: Hi. Hope you're doing well. Would you ever remix any of your singer-songwriter songs? Just curious. Also can't wait for the new song. When are you dropping it?

I adore this man with my whole heart. He did view my Instagram story last year and I admit I fangirled. He is one of the few people I am a fan of that I wouldn't mind being perceived by. He's someone I'd like to meet, though I have no idea what I'd say if we did.

Check out Deleasa's music and his Instagram! I hope you have a wonderful weekend!

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...
