Ugh! Guys!

Okay guys, please don't take offense to this.  I don't mean all guys.  I know that there are tons of good guys out there - like my boyfriend and my guy friends.

But I am ridiculously tired of some guys!!!

I went to a party last night / this morning.  It's a Wednesday, my boyfriend lives in another town, so I go with a couple of my friends (who are married) and meet up with another friend there.  Okay, so that's all good.  I'm dancing, having a good time.

This one guy comes up and talks to me.  Now I'm a friendly, nice person, okay.  I talk to him.  He compliments me.  Okay thanks.  But compliments are usually meant for "I want you in bed" or "I want to date you" not "hey, let's be friends".  So I know this guy is into me in some way.  I mention a boyfriend.  Doesn't seem to matter to him.  He asks for my number and I give it to him (why?!? I don't know).  I eventually managed to ditch him (I had to go to the washroom).  He comes up to me about an hour later when I'm dancing and he's all like "oh I was looking for you, I just sent you a text".  I (for real) didn't check my phone so I didn't see the text.  Then he's all "oh whatcha doing tonight" "want me to come home with you?".  Ummm heck no.  But I'm so nice and don't just say that.  I'm just like uhhhh welllll.  I don't know, do guys take "uhhhh welllll" as being interested?

Eventually that guy left, I was enjoying myself.  I went to sit down for a second because I'd been dancing for a couple hours.  Another guy comes up just as I sit down and he's all like "hey why are you sitting down?" so I'm like "I'm tired" and we have this weird conversation and then I finally give in and just get up and dance.  He's asking me questions, I'm responding pleasantly.  Then he's inviting me to this afterparty at his house with lots of alcohol ... I told him I didn't drink (very true actually!).

Finally my friend comes over and I'm good.  Then another guy starts talking to me.  Ugh ugh!  Does something on me say "talk to me?!?"  I mention a boyfriend as well.  Doesn't seem like he cares.  I'm at a party, I just want to listen to the music and dance!  The third guy leaves a bit quicker than the other two which was a relief.

Then I'm standing with my two friends and this other guy goes "hey cutie, how are you doing?".  "good thanks, you?" completely unenthusiastic.  He asks me to chill with him after.  I say no I have to work early.  He says "everyone does".  I don't have to work early.  I don't have to do anything until late afternoon tomorrow, actually.  But I give up on telling people that.  He's like "can I at least have your number and we can link up?"  So I'm like "yeah sure I can give it to you."  Give him my number.  He's like "yeah I'll for sure link up with you."  Alrighty.  Oh yeah, and my friends are just laughing at me the whole time!

Night is almost done, I'm just waiting for one of my friends to go to the washroom.  The third guy comes up and asks for my number.  Okay I give it to him.

Finally, all the guys leave.  Whew!  The third guy sends me a message.

You know, the second guy seemed like the nicest one of them all.  What's with that?  Aha.  (For a friend, of course.  I don't want to date any of them!)

The thing is, I don't want to be mean.  But what do I do?  I try and mention a boyfriend.  Why can't guys a) ask about a boyfriend, and b) if you say you have a boyfriend, go away!  Now one of the guys is texting me (third one).  Oh wait, I just got a text from the fourth one.  What the heck?  I don't want to be mean!!  I like to have friends.  But I don't like those friends that always tell me how sexy, beautiful, etc. I am.  My boyfriend is awesome at that!  And I don't care that they think that!  And I know I am!

I don't want to sound like I'm "all that" or anything.  I know some people would like to have others approach them.  But what am I supposed to do?  I don't dress revealing or anything.  Well okay sometimes I do (when I'm out with my boyfriend only!).  But if I'm going out alone, I know this might happen.  I was just wearing a jeans and a tank top that covered up quite a bit!  I was wearing running shoes.  I even put my hair up in a ponytail (everyone says it looks better down).  I can't just like wear a sweater or something.  When I'm dancing, it gets hot.  I wish I had worn shorts or something but that would only make things worse.

And I don't want to just not go to parties.  I go out most of the time with my boyfriend.  But even then guys still come up to me!  I'm like, can't you see I'm with someone?!?  More so happens when I'm by myself or with other friends though.  At the one party I went to, guys would be like "who are you here with?"  Eventually I just said my boyfriend, even though he wasn't there.  But if my boyfriend isn't around ... what do I do?  Just not go to parties?  I don't want to sit at home by myself.  I want to be with my friends and I want to listen to good music and I want to dance!

I really thought these parties were different.  I guess not.  It's all about respect, happiness, love.  Not picking someone up and trying to have sex or date someone.

I seriously don't hate all guys.  I love my boyfriend.  I love (in a friendly way) my friends.  I hate guys who don't get the hint and do not listen when I say "I have a boyfriend."  Ugghhh!!  Okay, end rant!

Concert Review: Ke$ha

So, the other night, I went to the Ke$ha concert at Kool Haus in Toronto (it is part of Guvernment, if that helps anyone out).  It was an all ages event which really wasn't the greatest.  I went with me boyfriend (he is 21 and I'm 20) so the 15 year old screaming girls didn't appeal to us.  Okay, maybe I should have guessed that before I got tickets.  Luckily for us, there was a 19+ area.  Neither of us drink but it was nice to have the option to go in there.  Plus, we got pretty decent spots in there.  And I was able to see, which was a bonus!

Ke$ha was fabulous though!  There are certain people that have that stage presence.  She is, no doubt, one of them.  She did some crazy dances and just got the crowd all excited!  And her outfits were unique, as I presumed!

I don't know all of Ke$ha's songs so I wasn't able to sing along to all of them.  There was one or two that I wasn't fond of.  But, for the most part, I enjoyed the ones I didn't know.  I hadn't heard her dinosaur song yet.  The dancers on stage had walkers and stuff, it was hilarious!  By the end of the song, I knew the lyrics.  Also she sang Grow A Pair.  She invited a guy in the audience up on stage and it was really funny!

There was one main negative.  Her opening act was some guy named Beards.  Now I do like to give people the benefit of the doubt but this guy was just terrible!  His style of music didn't fit the target audience.  He expected people to sing along with his songs but no one knew them.  He was old, and unattractive, which is not great for this audience either.  He had no charisma or stage presence.  And what was with his voice?  No one there was clapping, fist pumping, singing ... Anything!  I finally started clapping when he announced it was his last song.  I wanted him to be off and Ke$ha to be on!

Now, I'm sure this guy would have done fine at some other event.  But this was not his type of thing.  Throughout his opening segment, my boyfriend and I kept thinking of ideas of why he was chosen.  We have yet to come up with one.

All in all though, it was good!  Great Ke$ha performance.  Great venue.  Great 19+ area.  Not even too bad of a line up (although all the underagers smoking got quite annoying) - we were only outside for an hour.

I would probably give it 4 stars out of 5.  Negatives - definitely the opening act.  I would have given it five stars if it wasn't for this Beardo guy.  Positives - everything else.  Awesome songs, great stage presence, and great venue.  I would recommend that anyone going to her concerts arrive an hour late so you miss the opening act!  But Ke$ha herself was amazing!

September 2010's Best Songs

1. Taio Cruz - Dirty Picture ft. Ke$ha
   The intro is a little slow but once you start listening to it, you can't help but love it. It just makes you want to move! The beat is incredible!

2. B.O.B. - Bet It ft. T.I. and Playboy Tre
   The second it starts, you just start dancing. It is one of those songs. I can't stop listening to this one, it is my favourite right now! It is just so catchy.

1. Bruno Mars - Just The Way You Are
   Amazing words. Who couldn't like the lyrics? And his voice is just incredible. The song is slow, not one of those "get up and dance" songs that I absolutely love. But it is something that everyone can sing along to and it's still fun!

4. Flo Rida - Club Can't Handle Me ft. David Guetta
   A club song (perhaps indicated by the name of the song). The beat keeps changing which makes it very fun and unique. A song that you certainly couldn't miss this September. It seems to be everywhere. The chorus is one of those "sing along" songs while the verses make you want to move.

5. Kaskade - Fire In Your New Shoes ft. Dragonette
   All I can say is - what a voice! You really fall in love with the both of them after hearing this song. It's unique and catchy. Her voice works so amazingly well with the music. Impressive.
   

August 2010's Best Songs

1. Basshunter – Saturday
   First, who couldn't love Basshunter? It's different than his regular songs but it still has that Basshunter feel. I can't sit still and stay quiet when this song is on, I need to dance to it! There is something about his music that just makes it so unique compared to the popular music yet it still fits in. My number one song for sure!

2. 
   
   Swedish House Mafia – One ft. Pharrell
   I just can't stop listening to this. It's catchy. It just makes you want to dance! It's one of those songs that you will just love to hear in a club. It makes you excited, it makes you want to get up and move!

3. 
   
   Sean Kingston – Letting Go (Dutty Love) ft. Nicki Minaj
   It has one of those beats that you need to move to. Sean Kingston has an amazing voice too and it works so well on this track especially with a bit of Nicki Minaj in there. Most definitely one of the top songs of the summer!

4. 
   
   Usher – DJ Got Us Falling In Love
   Perfect for a dance, a club, any place where you need energy! It's about dancing, it's about music, it's about the energy. It's all about being in love with the music and the dance. Unbelievable amount of energy in this song!

5. 
   
   Benny Benassi – Spaceship ft. Kelis, Apl.De.Ap, Jean Baptiste
   Basically, it has an incredible beat. I have heard people say that it is repetitive but the beat is so catchy that repetitiveness is just not an issue to me. The singers have really cool voices and everything works well in the music.
