I'll do what I want.

the first time i ever wrote a journal for this site i wrote about the grammys and how much it sucked. i remember saying how much of a popularity contest it is and how they aren't really that up to date on the artists they nominate. i mean seriously, Paramore for Best New Artist in 2008 when they've been touring their asses off since 2005? Oh! and Hey There Delilah being nominated when that song was realeased in what like 2004? 2005? Now this year the Jonas Brothers are nominated for Best New Artist and they blew up in when late 2007? So shouldn't they have been nominated in 2008? Does any of this make sense? Anywho. I will be watching this year. But only because of the rumored Blink 182 presenting an award reunion. Which if that happens I will most likely burst into tears and my mom will think I'm a total weirdo.

Lately I've been listening to Hanson and Simple Plan. Two totally different bands in two totally different times. But both having a huge impact on my life. Both have been a huge favorite at one point in my life and both I have never really had the privelege of seeing perform. I mean I saw Simple Plan at Warped Tour 2004 but I was more pre-occupied fighting for my life than actually paying attention to what they were playing. I couldn't name a single song they sang that day. haha So it has now become a personal goal for me this year to see both bands live. I was looking at Hansons myspace and lately they've been doing this 2 mile walk or something along those lines to raise money for shoes to send to people in africa. i hope i got that right. basically they walk around barefoot to raise awarness and get people to donate money for shoes for people in africa. i thought that was really cool. so basically if they ever come to chicago i'm deff. going to do the walk and maybe hopefully bring shoes to donate. if they accept donations. it's so crazy to think that 13 years ago i was 7 years old and obsessing over zac hanson and wanting to marry the guy. it will deffinately be an accomplishment to meet hanson. i hope that dream finally comes true...

well. it's grammy time. pray it wont be more commercial and ridiculous than last year. but we all know that it will.
