Mandaris"Nobody Wants to Be Lonely (with Christina Aguilera) [With Christina Aguilera]" by Ricky Martin
What’s your favorite love song, and why?
This is my favorite song by Ricky Martin or Christina Aguilera. There is desire and heart ache in the lyrics and I find myself singing along.
I think Christina does a great job of restraining herself from using that big beautiful voice of hers. Her voice comes in and starts building up just like the emotions of the song.
"My Neck, My Back (Lick It) [Radio Version]" by Khia
What’s a guilty pleasure song?
I had to find a clean version of this song.
Oh 2004 me was into some... um... different kind of music.
I heard this version on the radio and was surprised when listening to the album/club version.
This song walked so that WAP for run. 😆
"Your Idol" by Saja Boys, Andrew Choi, Neckwav, Danny Chung, Kevin Woo, samUIL Lee & KPop Demon Hunters Cast
What’s a song you’ve had on repeat recently?
The whole house is talking about the Kpop Demon Hunters movie. The family has even gone to see the singalong in theaters!
This is my favorite song as it incorporates how evil the Saja Boys are. It's the epitome of what a controlling significant other can be when they sing.
You know I'm the only one who'll love your sins
Feel the way my voice gets underneath your skin
🚩
Definitely as great example of an upbeat song with terrifying lyrics.
"The Son of Flynn" by Daft Punk
What’s a song that helps you focus or concentrate?
When I'm trying to focus, I put on the Tron: Legacy soundtrack. This is usually the song that really snaps my mind into focus on what needs to be done.
Most times it works, but sometimes other tracks cause distractions if they start off with huge drumbeat.
"Quickly" by John Legend
What’s your favorite collaboration between artists?
I didn't think that Brandy would be on a better duet than when she sang "The Boy Is Mine" with Monica.
What I enjoy most about this song is the amount of longing for love.
If I had twenty million dollars in a vault somewhere baby
It wouldn't matter anyway
'Cause the doctor told me that I'm dying slowly
So I guess I got to love you while I'm here baby
Did you know?
It's one of my favorite John Legend songs.
I went to a local anime convention last weekend. It was pretty fun getting to see all the people there. I even had some fun with the foam fighting.
January of next year will mark the 20th anniversary of the event and I’m wondering about what I’ll dress up as if I go.
"Firestarter" by The Prodigy
Which song would you use to introduce yourself to someone new?
For some reason, this song came to mind. I don't think that it's me at the moment, but it resonates with some of the periods of my life.
I like that aspect of fire; the symbolism of change and how it can make things better.
I decided to do a little thought experiment as Apple has an announcement on the 9th where they will most likely reveal when the new operating system will become publicly available.
According to Wikipedia, Mountain Lion was the last release that you had to pay for. It was available through the App Store at $19.99 in 2012 which is the equivalent of a dozen eggs or a roll of toilet paper in the United States as of this writing.
All jokes aside, I have been enjoying more than 10 years of updates to the operating system since then. Not every release equally, but I’m grateful for updates and new features to unlock more from hardware that I’ve already purchased. I feel that this should not be taken for granted as we’ve seen business move to subscription models.
At this moment, Liquid Glass has taken up a majority of my thoughts about the upcoming operating system(s). I understand that there are security fixes and maybe a couple other things, but I can’t name them off of my head.
At this point in time, - after running it all summer- I don’t feel I would pay the $28.13 plus tax for this upgrade.
I had never seen this movie, but I am familiar with the phrase we're going to need a bigger boat
. I had no idea why a 50 year old movie about a shark could hold so much influence. In the end, I was happy to have seen it.
I had read on the internet that the mayor is The Real Villain
and the shark is just trying to be the best shark that he can be. I think that’s just trying to simplify the problem of a community dependent on tourism having to balance the welfare of the residence versus the guests. Most of the townsfolk are content with little accidents until it becomes a directly affects them.
That was the scariest part of this movie.
The inconvenient truth that a whole group of people are ok with the idea that someone could die from going into the water… as long as it does not affect the bottom line.
But, going back to the movie in general, the acting and pacing are really good. I say this as someone who is battling a phone addiction.
Overview
When the seaside community of Amity finds itself under attack by a dangerous great white shark, the town's chief of police, a young marine biologist, and a grizzled hunter embark on a desperate quest to destroy the beast before it strikes again.
"Children's Story" by Slick Rick
Share a song that tells a great story.
The old man in me jumps up and yells about how that's when rap music was about something and kids these days with their mush mouth songs.
I'm actually a little sad to hear the backing track used in other songs because the story in this song is a good warning on what not to do.
