Let's Get Fired Up!

Let's Get Fired Up: So it may be a corny phrase chanted by hundreds of cheerleaders across the globe, including myself, but it has this unparalleled ability to "get you fired up."

For me there are a handful of songs that have the same effect. "So Far So Great" by Demi Lovato; "I Believe" from the Honey Soundtrack; "Revolution" by the Beatles; "In this City" by Iglu & Hartly; and the list could go on and on...

But this week on particular song is really revving me up and keeping me going -->

"I'm Coming Out" by Diana Ross:



Love this clip cause her entrance is epic and there is even a little shout out to MJ thrown in there...RIP

What song get's you "fired up?"

If I were a movie star...

So I went to see Terminator Salvation this weekend with my Dad. It was an action packed flick with very little plot line but high levels of entertainment and Christian Bale so I have very few complaints. There was a woman in the movie who "kicked butt" in one scene and it got me thinking about women's roles in action movies. 

There have been some fabulous women "butt kickers" over the years. Renee Russo in Lethal Weapon 3; Angelina Jolie (although I'm not her biggest fan) she definitely kicks butt in Mr. & Mrs. Smith, Tomb Raider and Wanted; Jennifer Lopez in Enough; Lucy Liu, Drew Barrymore and Cameron Diaz in Charlie's Angels; Uma Thurman in Kill Bill; and finally Moon Bloodgood in Terminator Salvation. 

The list could go on forever but the bottom-line is if I were a movie star I'd "kick butt" in action movies! What would you do? Who would you be? 

Ode to the Skinny Pants Suit

There is nothing more attractive right now than a man in a skinny pants suit so this is a shout out to some of the guys who I think wear it very well. 

The question remains...who wears it best? 

The Jonas Brothers - - 

Adam Brody - -  

Zac Efron - - 

OR

The Men of the 2009 Star Trek - -

You be the judge???

"Somewhere in Between"

"I can't be loosing sleep over this no I can't and now I cannot stop pacing. Give me a few hours and I'll have this all sorted out, if my mind will just stop racing. Cause I cannot stand still, I can't be this un-sturdy, this cannot be happening...I'm waiting for tonight, been waiting for tomorrow, I'm SOMEWHERE IN BETWEEN, what is real and just a dream."

So much has been going on the last few weeks both at work and in life, so I am looking so forward to getting away from it all for a few days in June. From June 11th to June 14th I will be heading down to SUNNY San Diego to visit a few dear friends. I'm looking SOOO forward to it. If anyone has any suggestions for sights and sounds that I should check out while I'm down there please comment!
