Song of the Day: Keep It Goin' Louder

OBSESSION:

Major Lazer - Keep It Goin' Louder ft. Nina Sky, Ricky Blaze from YouTube.


Totally in LOVE with this song! Always hear it in the stockroom at Abercrombie & Fitch, part of our A&F Afterhours playlist. Great to do shipment to.  ;)

And the video... HILARIOUS.  I pulled it up while I was studying for my 11am exam today, couldn't stop laughing in the library.  The laughing was frowned upon by bystanders, but if they were watching, they would have joined the laughterHehe ;)

BTW...

COUNTDOWN TO MY BIRTHDAY: 2 days

New DROID Case!

Finally the new case for my DROID has come!  THANK YOU US POSTAL SERVICE, YOU MADE MY WEEK SO MUCH BETTER!! But seriously, I needed this case.  For those who didn't know, I recently broke my third DROID.  You heard me, THIRD DROID.  My fourth one has been treating me right so far, yet this case is probably the best thing that has ever happened to it...

FIRST let me just say, the cases provided by Verizon to purchase are super janky.  I had a plastic case for number two and three that didn't do ANYTHING for my phone.

When DROID number two fell out of my bag and sat in a puddle for over six hours, the CASE was the only thing I found in my purse...  When DROID number three seemed to slip out of my butterfingers, miss my pocket, and hit the tile floors, the CASE FELL OFF leaving the screen to go black. SERIOUSLY!  JANKY!

ME: New hair, new case!  CRAZY!!
This is why I was more than amp'd to receive my new phone case from Amzer.  It's a silicone jelly case, that protects my phone from have physical harm.  EXACTLY WHAT I NEEDED!  You can click the link to find out more about Amzer and  my new cover!

Basically love this company.  Got my package in less than a whole business week without any rush delivery.  AND (here's the best part) it was relatively inexpensive in comparison to the Verizon cover!  I totally recommend this case to other DROID users.  This customer is SATISFIED and is now creating a BUZZ for the product.
[Now if that isn't some Marketing Management Strategy/Consumer Behavior principle application, I don't know what is! ;) ]





That is all!

Gettin' Cultured in 2010

Gotta say..
I've been gettin' pretty cultured in the past year. Most are in MinneSNOWta, but let's start it off in a warmer climate...



Gettin' ALL THE WAY TURNT UP

 
PCB: Panama City Beach Spring Break 2010 kicked my ass! 24-hour one way road trip to Florida.  Wildest time of my life.  Would change it for the world.  Well... maybe the whole my-car-got-totaled-when-I-wasn't-even-in-in and we-had-to-take-a-rental-back-to-Minnesota part.. But that's just a side note tho..   
Pretty sure MAUER is up!





Downtown MPLS: Target Field. I LOVE THE TWINS!  I was more than excited to get to experience the second Twins preseason game played there.  Thanks Papa, you da bestttttt.  Just one of many games I went to this '10 season.  


How 'bout a beer?

D-TOWN: Grandma's Marathon Week EPIC.  Always is.  Woke up drunk at 6am from drinking whiskey Friday night.  Drank beers while half and full marathoners ran by (like my cousins)My activity: J-Wallin' on tables and givin' out beer bongs.  Canal Park for the beer tents at night.  Taking in Lake Superior.  What a great weekend.





Oh the irony...

MPLS: Sculpture Garden The ORIGINAL day of "getting cultured."  Out with my girls K. Choh & DZ.  Doin' a catch-up on our lives.  Them on their big girl jobs, me on my internship.  GOOD TIMES, GREAT OLDIES.  This was on of many in a large installation at the Garden.  LAUGHED MY ASS OFF at how ironic it was for many of us... ;)



Front row, bitches.
STP: Excel Energy Center presents LADY GAGA's MONSTERS BALLNow, I have been to a good amount of concerts, primarily rap, punk, and boy band concerts, but wow... LADY GAGA IS AN ENTERTAINER!!  I felt like I was in an elaborate, interactive music video that just kept going, and going, and going... Like an Energizer Bunny!  For real though...  BEST.CONCERT.EVER.



MPLS: The Orpheum shows WICKED.  For those of you who don't know, I LOVE MUSICALS!  Love them dearly.  It started when I was in kindergarten, and I was watching GREASE at my cousins' house, I think... Couldn't stop me from the singin' & the dancin'.  When I heard "Defying Gravity" on Glee last season, I had to figure out where the song came from.  When I realized it was from this musical, and that the musical was based on a novel, I HAD to read the novel before I saw the musical!  Everything made sense!  AMAZING time with the family.  Would love to see it again, but with Idina Menzel as Elphaba and the rest of the original cast.  :)


MPLS: Orchestra Hall.  Just this last Saturday my sister and I went to a symphony there.  All the pieces had a Bach influence... Or something like that.  Haha.  Apparently you're not supposed to take pictures there though... My sister and I were taking some candid FB profile pic sesh, and an usher was NOT IMPRESSED needless to say.  But hey, gotta love the Minnesota Orchestra!  Click the link to find out more about them!
  

 
Love gettin' cultured.  More to come!!  Know of any other gems to visit in Minnesota?  Let me know.  I'd love to experience them, and blog about 'em.  :)

Song of the Day: Show Me Love

t.A.T.u. - Show me love (Official Uncensored Version - Music Video) from YouTube.




OMG, thank you Pandora Radio for randomly putting this song in my Lady GaGa playlist!  Totally forgot how much I am in LOVE with this band.  

Honestly, I could listen to t.A.T.u.'s Greatest Hits album in repeat for hours, and not get bored.  The songs amp me up, total dance party mix!  Hehe.  New playlist artist located.  Fo sho.

Enjoy everyone!

What IS Belvedere? DAYLIGHT SAVINGS ROCKS

I just wanna say Sloppy Superior Saturday must become a weekly ritual for UMDers.  Did a bar crawl with the boys...  Hit up a few gems. And the best part was that Wisconsin DOES the whole daylight savings at 2am the clocks go back to 1am, keeping the bars open that one extra hour.  Umm...

MOST HILARIOUS NIGHT OF MY LIFE! 

Let me give you a run-down of how amazing my night was:
  • Get to Roper's a lil' past midnight.  Live country band (for those of you who know me would know that I highly dislike country, but I LOVE ROPER'S), but they play two songs then take a break.  Suddenly I find myself doin' the "Cupid Shuffle" and shakin' my booty to Ke$ha.  Beers weren't cuttin' it.  Had to leave.
  • Head over to Lord Stanley's.  We decide it's too late to drink beer, let's switch to hard liquor and shots.  So Benny goes to the bartender, who btw was barely 18, and says, "I'll have a Belvedere on the rocks."  NEVER have I ever seen a person look so confused! "Um... What's  Belvedere?"  They don't have it.  Grey Goose?  No go.  "What's the most expensive vodka you have?" "Stoli."  OMG... C'MON SUPERIOR!  This is 2010.  Live in the now.  From that point on, we were on a mission: To Find Belvedere.  Anywho, my boys order a Stoli on the rocks, and the chick takes out two 16 oz beer glasses, fills them half up with ice, then pours it full of vodka.  Price tag for one of these drinks: $3.50 LESS THAN MY JAG BOMB.  Started gettin' squirrely from there on...  Pretty sure someone got stabbed at Lucky's across the street.  I mean from inside Stanley's, we saw 4 cop cars, a fire truck, and an ambulance.  That was our exit cue for the next bar.
  • The Palace Bar looked like a fine establishment to go into.  They had Jameson stocked.  I was feelin' it.  But once again, no Belvedere.  Just a few-years-old bottle of Grey Goose.  The guys had to settle.  By now it was 1:45am (but really it WAS 2:45am! Yayyyyy daylight savings time!), so we had to make a dash to one final bar.
  • FINAL DESTINATION: Frankie's.  One word: KARAOKE.  I do a mean "Just A Friend" by Biz Markie, if I must say.  Drink specials: Dollar shots of Hot 100NO THANKS fellas.  The guys thought that was a good way to end the night.
All in all, Operation Find Belvedere In Superior, Wisconsin, was an epic fail. But it Sloppy Superior Saturday was a GREAT SUCCESS.  I suggest that every UMD student have a SSS experience in the future.  Total cost of the night: $20.  Probably because the guys found it neccessary to buy the rest of my drinks after Stanley's, and we didn't have to call a taxi.

Still, what a night...

Halloween Recap

Best. Drink. Ever.
HEY ALL!

Sorry I haven't blogged lately.  Been runnin' hott lately, with a strong Thursday to Sunday bender.  Had to have a few days recovery.  Now that I do not have FOUR LOKO in my system, I can get back on the blogging horse again.  I know how much you all have missed my rants, advice, trend spotting, and sports insight.  I'll try to make it up to everyone the rest of the week.  Deal, or no deal?





Lady GaGa in "Telephone"
So I never told everyone, I was LADY GAGA for Halloween! 

You're probably thinking, "How original MoJo," but seriously, my costume was!  GaGa in Telephone.  Soda pop cans in my hair, the Haus of GaGa leather jacket, the colored in eyebrows, basically running around naked... C'MON!  I looked AMAZING.

My favorite part of the night was when I ran into a friend from one of my many marketing classes' groups, and he goes, "What are you supposed to be? Oh wait, I got it... CHER!"  UMMMMM SERIOUSLY?!!!  How do you get Cher out of this outfit?  I have no idea.  What do you think?  Here's a few pics from Saturday at Grandma's Sports Garden in Duluth, MN:

My roomie and I in the bathroom. GaGa & a Vamp.


I love Halloween.  Definitely one of the top best holidays of the year.  Next to birthdays and Christmas, and right before New Years, I'd say.  ;)


 
I found Antoine Dodson at Gma's! Hide yo kids, hide yo wives.






But oh geez, what a night!  Be sure to check out the event pics on the Gma's link above.  You can see my girls the Kardashians, Wayne and Garth from Wayne's World, Buzz Lightyear from Toy Story, Allen from The Hangover, some Lofas, zombies, vampires, and many great costumes!
