Travel

Traveling the world is a big dream of mine. I want to explore the world before I get too old. I want to see everything. I think seeing different places is so amazing because you can learn so much. The culture, the religion, the food, and the people. Going to different places can help you learn about others' lives and it can help you put your life into perspective. Maybe you think one place is better than where you're from but you're wrong. If you don't go and see for yourself, how do you know? I think traveling can be a great thing for any kind of person. My sister isn't a person that likes to get out and meet people but I think for her to go out and experience things can help her loosen up a bit. To me traveling is really important because I'm the type of person that likes to experience everything at least once. I would love to see and blog about the world and everything in it. So let me bring you on this journey with me :)

Suicide

Suicide is a big deal and I think people need to talk about it more. I know it's a big deal but I don't think society deals with it the right way. Everyone has problems but the thing that matters is how long or how much a person can take before they crack. I want to write this post because I want people to know that suicide won't get rid of the problem but it will just bring the burden onto the people you love and care about. I know that sometimes people think it will never get better but it does. I know people say that all the time and think we don't understand but for a person like me that has been there, I do understand. I can tell you now that it does get better as long as you are willing to fight. Once in my life I thought it would never get better but for me music and my family members and best friend that never gave up on me saved my life. I know some of you may think that your family doesn't care but they do. Sometimes they might just not show it all the time. If you believe that no one cares and you feel like you have no way out just call 1-800-273-8255 and they will help you no matter what. I'm also going to say that I do care and I do support you to fight for your life. I care and love you!

Family

Family is so complicated it drives me crazy. I know no matter what happens family is family and we all have to stay together but sometimes they drive me crazy and I wish I could pick my own family. Sometimes I feel like my friends or strangers are nicer to me than my own family. I know as family we bicker or tease but when I'm crying, it went to far. Don't get me wrong I love my family and would anything for them. I just don't understand why family can be so mean sometimes? In my family my grandparents always called me fat and then my grandma would cook and then try to stuff me after calling me fat like an hour ago. I know they care about my health but weight is a sensitive subject and I hate when they make me eat after they call me fat. What makes them think I want to eat after that? I also hate all the drama that happens with aunts, uncles, and cousins. I mean with friend drama you can just ignore them and never talk to them again if you don't want to but with family it doesn't work that way because of family parties and because it makes it hard for all your other family members. Well, the point to this post is that family is a big part of life because they stick with you forever, well most of forever lol. Family is there for your ups and downs. To me they're like music. They help me when I'm upset and they are always there when I need them most. Family is number one to me and music is number two because they pretty much do the same for me and that is...support me and help me grow.

Cody Simpson/Ryan Beatty/Before You Exit Concert

I went to a Cody Simpson/Ryan Beatty/Before You Exit Concert on July 5. I had a lot of fun! My younger sister and I got there really early. She wanted to get VIP to meet Cody so she wore her Pastry shoes(a shoe company that Cody's mom is a part of) and she got lucky and she got it. We stood outside for an hour or two with a bunch of fans and Steven(Cody's tour manager) came out and started to give out VIP tickets. My sister started screaming and he came over and said, "Mrs. Simpson picked you." My sister started to freak out. She got picked by Cody's mom because we gave her candy to give to Cody. We got into his soundcheck and it was pretty cool. My sister was really happy lol. After the soundcheck my sister got to meet him and they took selfies together and it was really cute. So we got into the show and I watched Before You Exit play and I loved it because they were the second reason I was there, the first was because my little sister needed a chaperone lol. So after Before You Exit played I went out to buy water and saw two girls that were sitting bored. I sat next to them to charge my phone. I started to talk to them and found out that they were sitting in the second to last row so I gave them my seat. I sat in the lobby and felt really good because I made those two girls really happy. I know for sure that I want to do something in the music industry as a manager and make fans that happy everyday. So I sat out there messing with my phone and then saw Connor and Thomas from Before You Exit and I got pictures with them and that was really awesome. They were really nice. After the show my sister and I stuck around and got to meet the rest of the Before You Exit guys and they were all really nice. So we hung out with the boys and we took pictures and Riley and Connor took selfies of themselves lol. All in all I had a really good day that day :) Concerts are the best things in the world to me.

Attachment

SPOILERS: Read at your own risk. 

This is really bad because I think I get attached to T.V. series characters way too much. Recently, I've been watching Teen Wolf and I'm addicted. I love Derek Hale even though he is a sourwolf. I love that he is willing to do anything to protect the people around him even if it means he is going to die. I don't like the fact that he is going to love Ms. Blake. Anyways, the point of this post is that I get attached to characters. I love T.V. series like Game Of Thrones, Criminal Minds, Flashpoint, and Teen Wolf of course. lol. So in Game Of Thrones I love the Stark family(Who doesn't hahaha) and they all ended up dying :( Criminal Minds I get all crazy and worried when a main character gets captured or hurt. Teen Wolf, when Derek had a pole through he I literally almost cried. I just can't take it if my favorite character gets hurt. But why does that matter they are a fictional character that is not even real. Why do I get hurt when they get hurt? I have no clue but I guess it works the same way when a celebrity that I admire and have never met gets hurt I hurt when them. It's weird, I guess it's just when we get attached to something and start to think about them everyday all day we develop this kind of attachment and start to feel for them. We start to bring them into our minds everyday and we start to feel like they are a part of us and when something happens to them we feel the way they feel. This might have just got weird but I do believe it. Yes, I love people that don't exist and people that I don't know. I love Derek Hale. I hurt for people that don't even know I exist. I love bands that I have never met. Weird but true. I love and hurt for everyone. I love you.

Music Taste

So every person in this world has some sort of music taste. My question is can't we all just appreciate all music? I mean all artist work really hard. All of them deserve to have their music be given a chance. I really hate it when people say they don't like screamo or hip hop when they have never even tried to listen to it before. How do you know if you like it or not if you never tried it? I mean at least listen to one song all the way through and then if you really don't like it then don't listen to it anymore BUT don't bash it either because someone likes it and it's rude to the artist. Yeah, they may never know that you don't like it but still. Also if you just don't like one song from that artist don't ignore all of their music because it can just happen that you don't like that one song but love the rest of the album. So basically what I'm trying to say is give these artist that you don't like a try. They deserve it. Also don't be one of those people that stop liking a person because they dated someone. Taylor Swift and Harry Styles. I see it all the time. People stop liking her or him because they broke up or whatever. Their music has nothing to do with their relationship. That's all. Listen to something that you will never listen to any other day. Give it a try you might like it. :)

Movie Fanatic

I love movies. I think I may even be addicted to going to the movies. I think movies are so amazing, well some. I guess I'll just recommend some to you guys in this post. First, an old one, The Shawshank Redemption. That movies is the best. It's pretty old so you may have already seen it but if you haven't definitely check it out. Second, a cartoon, because we all love cartoons! Despicable Me is one of the cutest animated films ever. It's also one of my favorite movies so I guess I'm a little bias there. lol. Third, A Walk To Remember with Shane West and Mandy Moore. I love this movie and I think it is way better than The Notebook. Yes, I said it. It's better than The Notebook. It has such an amazing story, it's great! Okay, so I'm done with the old movies. How about some that just came out recently. Now You See Me was a pretty good movie but since it came out the same night as After Earth and if I had to choose I would see After Earth. I of course saw both in one night but... After Earth. I'm a girl that is really into superhero movies so....Iron Man 3 for sure is a great one. Man of Steel surprisingly really good. Before I went to go see it I thought it wasn't going to be that good but I was definitely wrong. So if you haven't seen Man of Steel, go see it! Lastly and this was also the last movie I've seen is World War Z. It was really cool and I loved the actors. Not because Brad Pitt is hot but the cast's acting skills. Well that is it for now. Maybe I'll do a Movie Fanatic 2 next month or something. We'll see...

Bands/Musicians/Artist

Concerts are fun and amazing but do you ever feel like it's not enough? Well I love concerts but when you go to a concert is it because you want to hear the music or see the face on the stage? For me it's mostly the music because I'm really into lyrics and the meaning of songs. I found that girls that go to a concert for just the face, leave unsatisfied. They go because they want to meet the person but sometimes that isn't likely. So you pay all that money to go to this show and don't get the chance to meet them and then leave unhappy. Is that really worth it? Why not save the money and get something that you love and can remember it as a great thing. I think bands or musicians love it when their fans like their music not just the looks. For me if I was a musician writing the songs and performing them for my fans I would want them to listen to the song and hear the lyrics I'm singing and really try to understand the song that will mean a lot to me if I wrote it. It's a lot more fulfilling to think that most of those fans out there are here for my music and not just the way I look. For bands and musicians like One Direction and Justin Bieber I would think they like it better to have fans that listen to the music they sing and not just drool over their face. Of course it's nice to hear from their fans that they look handsome or sexy or whatever weird compliment their fans can think of. lol. Music has always been an important part of my life. It's my passion. I just want to end this post with a quote from The Wanted's Nathan Sykes: 

"The songs I write that mean the most are the songs that hurt to sing"

I think this quote is amazing. Speaking of The Wanted their single "Walks Like Rihanna" is out now in the UK and Ireland so if you're in any of those places go get it. It's pretty good.

Birthdays

I'm born on the fourth of July and I was going to have a birthday party but I had a conversation with my sister and she thought that because I'm turning 20 I shouldn't have a party with my family but with just friends. I was thinking it didn't matter what age I was turning but celebrating a day that I feel is important with my family AND friends would be a good idea. So it ended with me not having a party at all but just celebrating with my sisters and mom. My question is how many of you think that what age you turn matters to have a party or not. I mean elderly people that turn 80 have parties with family and friends, is that so wrong? I just don't understand why what age you turn matters. The day you are born is a very important date and I think it is important to celebrate however you want to. I'm not mad or upset that I'm not having a party I actually think it would be less stressful. I think having my close family is enough maybe just a nice little dinner would be great. This was just a little rant but most of these post are, aren't they? Well I hope you have a good day :)

I can't wait to cross one of these off! I hope everyone starts to write a bucket list so you can do things in your life and feel accomplished. I decided to write a bucket list because I want something on paper that reminds me to enjoy life and do the things that I want and not what others want. I don't want to get any older and realize that I never did the things that I've always wanted to do. So hopefully you guys go and do the same. Live life and enjoy every moment you can.  

Paradise Fears

Paradise Fears is a band made up of 6 members from Vermillion, South Dakota. I met them when they didn't have much fans and just a couple songs. They grew and released an album called Yours Truly that I own and love. They tour and do amazing shows and I know this because I've been to two of them. Now they just released an E.P. that they are really proud of and so am I. It's called Battle Scars and it is truly amazing. All I have to say is they are truly an amazing, down to earth band and people really need to check this new E.P. out. Get it on itunes or their website. Just listen to it because it is really good. Listen to every word. They are a band that does everything on their own and for them to write an E.P. like this is AMAZING! True talent is what they are to me. I'm glad I get this chance to promote them because I think they deserve attention. So go to the links below you won't regret it.

Marriage

So I went to a wedding a couple of weeks ago and it got me thinking. I believe marriage is a beautiful thing even though my parents got divorced years ago. Marriage is two people that believe they can tolerate each other for the rest of their lives and have children together and just be together forever because they truly love each other. So me being a single 19 year old, I asked my younger sister if she thought I should be looking for someone to date and eventually get married because I'm going to be 20 soon. She said yes. Well I don't think I have to sign up for match.com or anything or even go out more to find someone, but she did. I asked her why she thought that way and she told me that because society expects women to be married and have children before 35. I laughed at her and moved on with our day but now that I'm just sitting here writing this it really bothers me that she thinks that way. Yes women has the clock ticking to have kids but shouldn't finding the right man come first. I mean we shouldn't just marry the first guy that proposes because we're afraid of not being able to have kids. Marrying a person is not a joke you should completely love him and be willing to live the rest of your life with him. Society shouldn't matter to you. You make your own choices and who and when you get married is not up to society, it's up to you. Heck, society thinks a 72 hour marriage is okay but it's not. Follow your heart and marry the person you love. If you think differently, I would love for you to leave me a comment and let me know what you think. :)

Poll Of The Week

Okay so to make my blog more interesting I have decided to add a poll and change the questions every week. The questions will change ever Monday and I'll post the winner. It's going to be on the side so have fun! Enjoy! :D

Haters

Before I start this I know that for me to be talking about these people is making me a hater but I have a good reason too. I think. lol. Anyways I was reading some things on Tumblr and realized that a girl was getting hate for dedicating a blog to a band member's girlfriend. My question is why does it matter who dedicates what on a social media site when everyone does it for pretty much anything. She was saying that it was creepy for this girl to dedicate a blog to the girlfriend because she is just a normal person. Well all of the celebrities that people dedicate a blog to are normal people as well. She also mentioned that this girlfriend doesn't do anything for the fans of this band member. From what I know and I'm a fan of this band, the girlfriend is a model and she talks to and gives fashion advice to the fans on her personal Tumblr. This girl kept on mentioning that the girlfriend is only famous because she dates a celebrity. First, I don't think the girlfriend is famous or wants to get attention from anyone. Secondly, she is not only known for dating the band member. From what I remember she was the Director of Incredibly Green. It's a movement of people working together to make a healthier, smarter, and greener planet. Personally, I think this girlfriend is a really nice and good person. I know that in this fandom there are a lot of rumors that make her seem like a bad person but none of us know about their relationship besides the two that are in it and their close friends. I think haters are just people that are jealous of people that can be with their favorite bands and/or celebrities. They want the bands attention but can't get it so they say mean things to get attention. I think haters need to realize that you don't know the person and they don't deserve to be criticized by you just because they chose to love someone that had a big dream. Imagine if you got the chance to be with the celebrity of your dreams and people started to judge and criticize you because someone was jealous and made up rumors about you. You wouldn't like it. So don't do it to other people. Think before you speak/act/type. So that being said I hope this was a good enough reason and for all the haters realize the harm you can be doing. Stop it.  

Those Days

Do you ever get those days when you just feel horrible. Like you look in the mirror and you just want to cry from the sight of yourself, well that was me today. I have no clue to why I feel like that but I guess it's just a bad day. Today I woke up really early and the moment I looked in the mirror when I was brushing my teeth I just wanted to cry and smash the mirror. Maybe because I didn't get enough sleep and I'm just over tired but the point to this post is everyone should love themselves the way they are and should learn to love themselves. I'm not going to feed you guys with "if you don't like it change it" because sometimes what you see is not the problem but it's the way you see it. I think everyone is beautiful and I'm a person that tries to live in this world of problems and believe that there is no ugly. I know there are people out there that enjoy bringing people down but the things is there is someone else in the world bringing them down. I believe if everyone just stopped and thought about what they wanted to say before they said it, life would be a lot prettier. I just want to put this out there to everyone that is going to read this. You are beautiful in some sort of way and I know it means nothing for me to say that but it's true and I hope you have a great day and look in the mirror and smile from what you see  after you read this. You're beautiful and I love you! :D

Loving Celebrities

How do you know that you love someone? Does your heart beat a little faster when you think of them? Do you think of them all day and all night? Do you feel like you would die without them? Do you hurt when they get hurt? Those are all questions that I can answer yes to, but for a person that I have never met. How does any of that make sense? I'm in love with a person that I've never met or am I in love with the image I made of him. Yeah, he's real but is he the actual guy that I think he is...I don't know. I think every fangirl in the world can relate to this. We all think this celebrity is the best and he can make me happy and we're going to get married and be together forever. How likely is that? Not likely. I mean anything can happen but it will be twice as hard to have that relationship than to have a relationship that is not in the media's attention. Loving someone is more than just looks and how you think they act. Love needs to be tested and worked at with the other person and if that other person doesn't even know you exist then how does that work. I admit I'm a girl that has my phone background of a celebrity that I love but for me to say that we will get married one day is close to impossible. I mean it can happen but it won't be easy and I have to meet him first. lol. But remember anything is possible if you give it a try. :)

District3

District3 is a british boyband from X Factor 2012. They were GMD3 before they went on The X Factor but they haven't changed at all. District3 is made up of Greg West 18, Micky Parsons 18, and Dan Ferrari-Lane 20. They are amazing and I completely love them. They have just got off their 3eek Out Tour and now they are back in the studio working on finishing up their debut E.P., hopefully being released soon. I listened to all of the songs on Youtube and I just wanted to tell all of you how much I love it. I love their music so much. I believe if you're a fan of a band or musician you should like their music more than their face. I love their music and they're good to look at! Lately I have realized that they have been tweeting less and when they do tweet they're tweeting about being tired. I'm not complaining or anything, I just want to say that I thank them for working so hard for us 3eeks(fandom name). I think District3 work harder than any other act that came off of The X Factor. They are taking a lot longer to release anything because they want it to be perfect or close to perfect when they do. They write their own stuff and work really hard plus they communicate with their fans a lot more. I know some of you may think I'm bias, but I'm not. I know acts like James Arthur and Ella Henderson work hard and write their own things too but unlike District3 they have a label behind them. District3 is doing all of this with only their manager Jayne Collins. She is amazing and I believe she will work hard to get them to where they deserve to be. I just want to promote them because they deserve it. They are an amazing band and they deserve to get big and tour the world. They deserve to spread their amazing music around the world. So if you agree with me that music and the lyrics is more important than the face of the band then give them a listen. Below are the links for everything.

P.S. I'm not saying that they are ugly because I believe they are gorgeous! I'm just saying their music is more important to me.

Helping People In Need

I always wanted to travel the world and see all of it. As I got older I decided that I wanted to travel the world to help people. I want to go to places where kids need to be taught because they don't have the resources to be taught like we do. I want to be able to help people that aren't lucky like I was to be born into a family that, yes works to live comfortably, but still has food everyday and a cell phone to use. I admit I take things for granted but I do want to go out there and help people that need it most. I also believe that we need to think about the people here in America as well. Hobos are in need too. I admit that there has been times where I'm stopped at a stop light and I just look away and ignore the hobo outside of my window but others including me need to stop and realize they are asking for help and we need to help them. If you don't give them money maybe you could direct them to the closet shelter or give them food instead of money. Anything will help. We are humans and we need to believe that humanity can get better, one human at a time, but first we need to help the ones that are asking.

Inspiring People With Music

I always felt like music spoke to me and I know that sounds really silly but I believe it. Music can change a person's mood and life. I always loved the way music could inspire people. The reason I decided I wanted to become a talent manager was because I wanted to experience crowds getting bigger and bigger. Have you ever thought about how it would feel to help someone with a dream to make it and just share their music to the world. Grow with that person and their crowds. I can't wait. Music brings people together. One band can bring many different people to one place and line up and communicate and get to know each other. Music saves lives. I want to be apart of that industry so bad. I want to help people with a dream because that person with a dream can help me make my dream come true. My dream is to see people get inspired by music and to see crowds grow and music with meaningful lyrics live on because that is what matters. The lyrics.

Hi, It's Nice To Meet You!

My name is Tiffany and I'm 19 years old, well turning 20 in 15 days. I'm chinese but was born and raised in Chicago, Illinois. I love music, some of my favorite bands and musicians are All Time Low, Hey Monday(when they were still around), Cassadee Pope, McFly(British Band), District3(British Boyband), Avril Lavigne, Maroon 5, and Before You Exit. I would love to become a talent manager one day and work with musicians everyday. Some people would describe me as nice, sweet, caring, and gullible at times. I can be really mean when I want to as well, so don't get on my bad side. Well that's me in a nutshell. I'm starting this blog as a public diary I guess. So I would be updating everyday when I can, if I can. I hope you enjoy reading it! :D
