Myrtle the goofy!

My character is Myrtle!! So here we go J

I finally was able to go to New York with Tom and I go to meet Nick! He’s such a fine fellow but I don’t think he liked me that much. Anyway! On my way to the apartment I saw some cute dogs and Tommy Pooh bought me oneJ. Once we got to the apartment I called over my sister Cath (Catherine) over and Tom and I’s good friends, the McKee’s. Once we got acquainted we began passing out drinks! Everyone seemed to be having such a jolly good time. I had on my favorite afternoon dress and was looking (if I do say so myself) amazing ;). Mrs. McKee infuriates me always talking about her husband’s photography! Who gives a rat’s ass gosh!  I then began telling stories about my love life entertaining everyone. I do love my husband, don’t get me wrong but he isn’t good enough. After, I got to telling Nick how Tom and I met, he seemed really interested. Then Tom got upset all because I was saying his wife’s name! What’s the big deal? He’s cheating on her anyway! We kept going back and forth then I felt a blow to my nose. I couldn’t believe what happened. After I stepped back into reality everyone was gone. That sucked because we were having such a good time until Tom had to mess it up. Sometimes it feels like he cares more for his wife than me! I could just kick Tom’s behind if I didn’t love him so much. Luckily for him at least, he apologized for hitting me. He didn’t really need to though because I was over it already, although it was really embarrassing.  I got blood all over my favorite dress too! L But it’s okay because I’m still with my Tommy J

The American Dream

I'm a horrible blogger although I have became addicted to Tumblr...Sowwy

Anywayssssss. The American Dream
 Our assignment is basically to find an article on the American Dream recently and then relate it to Great Gatsby.
But the problem is I don't necessarily see that theme very prominent in the book. But here we go.

I found that in 2010 43% of American's still believed it was possible to have the dream. This was after the recession and all, I was surprised for that percentage to be even that much. In the latimes article the author wrote, "The dream is the glue that keeps us all together." I agree with her it kind of is because if all Americans had no hope this country would not be America.  Many people did lose sight of the American Dream after the recession but some did not.  In Great Gastby the theme The American Dream is basically Gatsby life. He has almost everything an American would want. A great house, car, money and the only thing missing is a family. Many American's American dream is like Gatsby's life even without the wife part.  Gatsby throws great parties, has lots of friends and is very respected, who wouldn't want his life? Although many American's dream is very different and more simple.  The American Dream is different for every American and luckily there is 46% of us who believe in it.

Music Review

Ever heard of Jessie J?
Well I loveeeeeee her! She is one of my favorite artists nowadays.


My favorite song by her is Big White Room (live). That song speaks to me and almost brings me to tears everytime I hear it. I have nothing at ALL bad to say about this song.


When you first turn on this song you hear a few chords of acoustic guitars,  the first lyrics are "Sitting in a big white room alone, tilt my head back feel the tears fall down." These lyrics remind me of myself basically, I mean who hasn't cried alone in their room? Then more lyrics, then I get to "I don't wanna be here anymore
I wanna be somewhere else normal and free, like I used to be But I have to stay in this big white room
With little old me." The way Jessie J is singing these lyrics so patiently puts the images in my mind. Sometimes I feel like this and having music that expresses your feelings and sounds good is a winner in my mind. This song brings me to a place where I have been, were many have been. Her words in this song speak to me and probably speak to so many others. Jessie's J's tone and voice make this song much more powerful. Whenever I'm feeling down I listen to this song and it makes me happy.

HOPE YOU LIKED IT! :D

Lyrics:

Sitting in a big white room alone
Tilt my head back, feel the tears fall down
Close my eyes to see in the dark
I feel young, broken, so so scared

I don't wanna be here anymore
I wanna be somewhere else normal and free, like I used to be 
But I have to stay in this big white room
With little old me

I'm going crazy, I'm losing my mind
I'm going crazy, in this big white room of mine
I'm going crazy, I'm losing my mind
I'm going crazy, in this big white room of mine

Sitting in a big white room alone
Close the door don't want the pain to come in
I clench my fist and try to stay strong
I cry, feel sick my hearts beating b-b-b-b-beating neating out of control
Can I run, run faster than you
I wanna feel my body again, feel the wind in my hair - yeah
But I have to stay in this big white room

Cuz' no one else cares no

I'm going crazy, I'm losing my mind
I'm going crazy, in this big white room of mine
I'm going crazy, I'm losing my mind
I'm going crazy, in this big white room of mine

Everybody's looking at me, everybody's staring at me
What do I do now - smile, yeah, yeah
Everybody's looking at me - everybody's staring at me
What do I do now - smile

I'm going crazy, I'm losing my mind
I'm going crazy, in this big white room of mine
I'm going crazy, I'm losing my mind
I'm going crazy, in this big white room of mine

I'm going crazy, I'm losing my mind
I'm going crazy, in this big white room of mine
I'm going crazy, I'm losing my mind
I'm going crazy, in this big white room of mine
