This is the last post. I need to clarify something.
I'm NEVER posting again because I don't like what you guys put on the blog. I'm going through a lot of difficulty with my family right now, and I don't have time to worry about a blog.

I saw this incredibly amazizing video on YouTube today. It was soo cool. There was the frosting and the carving and the cutting...... Well, I don't normally ramble about cakes, but this might just be the one exception --> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wOyibd6tDvo.

8 Days Left!!!! (Including today)

Yay!!!!! Only eight days of misery left! (no offense to any teachers reading this, it's just that we've been programmed to not like school. Except for maybe one class:)

It is so COLD! It should not be in the 50's! It should be in the 70's!!!!! On the plus side, this afternoon's supposed to go as high as 63 degrees. How warm.

Well, I'm bored now. I should go.

Remember: Vote for Latte!

9 Days of School Left!!!!!!! (Including Today)

Muffin, I'm assuming you put up that 'who is sexy' since nobody else has been on. What is wrong with you?! My sister reads our blog and my mother too. My dad would ground me until I go to college. Maybe he won't even let me go to college!!!!

To save you the trouble, I removed it for you. : )

I'm bummed:( But Sort of happy:) On the plus side we got a new TV, on the downside, we spent all of Sunday putting it up. And on Monday, we had to a lot of cleaning ans rearranging. Oh, Saturday we spent 9 hours in the car driving to and from Detroit to see my Dad's friend who's moving soon.

Well, that's all for now. Including today, we only have 9 days of school left. I'll miss everybody , but I am sooooo sick of school!

Uh...Here's a Tip...

Like the title of this post says: here's a tip. DO NOT read the post next to ours, you know, like, after it? It's got tons of...bad...posts and YouTube you-know-what-type-of-stuff.
So don't. Take it from someone who knows.

TAKE A QUIZ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :):):):):):)

Hey, people.
I know it's been like three minutes since my last post, but you know, you shouldn't just take the quizzes I told you about. Go to quizrocket.com for lots 'o' cool stuff.
*Sigh*
I'm bored. What a fun weekend this is gonna be. Frappy, wanna sleep over tonight??? My dad's not coming home 'till, like, tomorrow, so it's okay with my parents...
OH!!! You're dad's home for good, right??? That's SO COOL!!!!!!!!
My obvious lack of conversational good is clearly a sign of weekend-boredom-itis. Greeeeeeeeeeeeeat. Next I'll be as perverted as...well...need I say the name???

~Muffin

OH, YEAH!!!

Hey, dudes and dudettes!!!
Guess what? I took a blonde quiz on the same website as the dumb one, and I'm TOTALLY BRUNETTE (like I actually am, so I guess that's good...)!!!
If you wanna take it, go ahead. It's confusing in parts, like the fave celebrity section, but I guess I got through that. I didn't know any of them except Brad Pitt (is he blonde?) and Paris Hilton. I just chose Hilton because she's the only blonde that I could have been sure about, and I sure as heck didn't choose Elvis!!!
So yeah.

~Muffin.

I'm Not THAT Dumb.......

Hey, people of Earth!!!
I just took this dumb quiz online that I posted on the side of this blog. Apparently I'm 33% dumb. Well, I don't know what I got wrong, but I DO know that a greenhouse is made out of glass, so if you're taking the quiz too, there's a free answer. And there are nine cows left if all but nine get struck by lightning...
So post your results on this blog, too, because when you're done, you get a free badge to keep!!! Well, it's virtual, but it's cool. So follow the link under MY badge.
Also, I have some really cool song lyrics that I'd LOVE to post, but here's the link: www.musicsonglyrics.com.
So check it out. Even if it's not highlighting at the moment, type it into your search bar. You can find lots of song lyrics on this site, let me tell you. Just type the song and "lyrics" after it in the search thingy it shows you and press "Search Web".

Peace out.

American Idol

Seriously, David Cook really should win American Idol tonight. David Archuleta still has his baby fat, OK!? He hasn't even graduated HIGH SCHOOL! Syesha was so much better than him. Honestly.

Oh, have I mentioned that I hate math? Just thought that I would mention it because our math homework today had about 20 different numbers per problem. I'm not even joking! Just ask Frappy and Espresso.

Well, that's all for now.

Remember: Vote for David Cook! If you vote for David Archuleta, you are seriously brain-missing. Really, don't be such a Pretty. (anybody who read Uglies should get that; that means you Frappy and Espresso!:)

~Latte

VOTE!!!!

ANYONE READING THIS IS ENTIRELY RESPONSIBLE FOR VOTING FOR DAVID COOK. NOT ARCHULETA!!! DO YOU REALLLY WANT A 17 YEAR OLD TO BE THE 'AMERICAN IDOL'? OF COURSE NOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Now, the finale is tomorrow, so vote tonight!!!! This is one of the most important days of the year!!!!! David Archuleta will not win!!!!!


Have a good night!!

American Idol Spoiler

Warning: Don't read this if you don't want the results.

To get to the chase: Syesha was voted off. And she didn't look surprised. There are rumors floating around that the producers sabotaged her by giving her a song they knew she would do bad at. You decide whether or not that's true.

Now for my top 2 list:

American Idol Top 2

1. David Cook
He can sing and he's never been in the bottom three.

2. David Archuleta
He's never been in the bottom three but he can't sing to save his life.

Well, that's mi list. Please "America" (I put that in quotes because I'm starting to agree with frappy's theory that some guy decides all the wrong people to be voted off and the votes really mean nothing) make sure that David Archuleta doesn't win. Well it doesn't really matter that much because both of the will probably end up signing a record deal no matter what.: )

Rainy Day

Hi, everybody. The weather's pretty bed today. Oh, Happy Mother's Day. Today we're going to the mall to get my mom some stuff. Nothing very exciting, though.

I am so bored. We were supposed to leave in three minutes but my mom hasn't gotten ready yet. Oh, wait, she's getting up. No, false alarm. We could be here for awhile. : ) Oh well, she can take her time. Not like I can go anywhere.

Lalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalallalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalal
lalalalalalalallalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalala.
I am so bbbbbbbbboooooooooorrrrrrrrrrreeeeeeeeeeeeeddddddddddddd!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I need something to do. I am o bored. Now my parents are trying to figure out what eshould wear. My mom is trying to get my dad to wear something else. He just agreed. He's saying something about doing 'whatever it takes to make her happy', for today at least. Now they're trying to figure out what color shirt he should wear.

My sister is downstairs watching TV,most likely Nick. Why is it that she is willing to sit and let her brain be eroded by 'Fairly odd Parents' and a talking sponge. I just don't get it.

Now my mom's back in here. She says "Hi". Now she's grinding her teethe, although she probably doesn't appreciate me telling people this. Now they're looking for a shirt for my dad to wear. My mom doesn't want any of us to clash with her outfit.

Well, I've started rambling. That is not a good sign. I should log off before I start talking politics or something!! : )

Until Next Time,
Latte

Hi y'all!

Okay, so I am watching and Indiana Jones movie, although I can't say I know which one it is. I haven't been paying much attention. All I have to say is that Harrison Ford rocks!!! I'm not saying he's hot or anything, just that he rocks. Just like Captain Jack Sparrow rocks (out loud! :)), though he isn't hot. Not even close. Now Orlando Bloom, he's waaaayy up there on the hotness scale. Almost as hot as Joe/Nick Jonas. Just thought that you might want to know.

You know who else rocks? David Cook. Now even though we all know that he is going to win, I am a bit disappointed that America hasn't book more thought into the runner up. Please, you are not telling me that David Archuleta is an acceptable runner up. Syesha (sp?), maybe, but whatever happened to Brooke White and Jason Castro. Syesha and David A. should definitely should have been voted out before then. Carly should have stayed on longer too.

But apparently it doesn't matter what I think as much as it matters what America thinks. You know, when Ryan looks into the camera and says, "It's up to you, America, to decide who will be the next American Idol!" I always think of some guy sitting in a chair, choosing all the wrong people to get voted off. I mean, why else would Chris Daughtry have gotten voted out so early?

Not that I'm saying America Idol is unfair or anything. I'm just pointing out what goes on in that place I call my mind during American Idol.

Now I'm rambling like Cappuccino. I'm sorry!!!!! :)

Love ya,
Frappy

Hey have you looked at the poll results lately? Me and Muffin are in the lead! We have four votes each on who's their fav! Don't fret Latte and Frappy, although other visitors don't love you, I still do! lmao! JK! Anywho I'm upset @ who got voted of last night on AI :( Jason was a million times better than Syesha and David Archuleta! Voters are lame! They got it wrong!

Latte- the A the Gay joke is an inside joke between me and Frappy, because it is and you wouldnt get. I know it's easy to figure out! That's why its funny

~Espresso

American Idol

Warning: If you don't want to know who got eliminated: DO NOT READ THIS!!!!!!!!

OK, everybody. On American Idol guess who got voted off? I'll tell you right after the week! Just kidding! : )

First to be safe was David Archuleta, then David Cook was sent to the couch. Syesha and Jason were the bottom 2 and, finally, Jason was sent home.

Oh, if you're interested, There's a video on TMZ that shows a clip of Jason mouthing "Don't Vote" when Ryan is saying his number. It's real, not edited, and it makes you wonder whether he actually wanted to be sent home. Hmmm...

Now for my Top # list! (Remember, 3 is the worst; 1 is the best)

American Idol Top 3 Ratings

1. David Cook
He's obviously the best singer left.

2. Syesha Mercado
She can sing. At least better than David Archuleta

3. David Archuleta
The guy has to go home this week. He can't sing, and his parents probably have to choose every song for him.

Well, that's all for now!

David Cook is the most amazing person ever! He is sooooooooooooooooooooo gonna win and he is gonna make millions nad everyone will realize that Cook is the better david, not Archuleta! If you dont agree well then you should un subscribe to our blog and we will change the password and you can cry your self to sleep! lol and Jason Castro isn't related to Fidel Castro, whoever said that needs common sense.


Love ~ Espresso

American I-Know-Who's-Going-To-Win!

David Cook will be the season 7 winner of American Idol. Why? Because he is the best. The best of the best. David Archuleta will not win. Why? Because he is young, a bad singer, and still has his baby fat.

Jason Castro will be runer up. He is pretty good, but he needs to change it up a little. Every week it's practically the same thing. Not that he's bad or anything, he's really good.

Brooke should still be in. David Archuleta should have been voted out.

That's all for now, folks!

Good Morning!

Hey everybody! It's Latte again!
OK, last night around 9 PM I got a freakish text message on my phone that said something like this:
insert scary/creepy pic
I am Monay. If you do not send this text message to 9 people i will be standing by your bed with a knife tonight.

Isn't that extremely freakish???? I don't even know the number that sent that message!

Oh, and for all of you that believe in that sort of thing: I am still alive today. There was no person with a knife standing by my bed. As if the would actually happen. Ha!

Well I have to go get dressed now.

Bye,
Latte

??? >X(

...American culture (or its lack thereof) is going down the toilet, straight into Mexico's tap water.

(No offense meant by the Mexican joke, just couldn't resist it! XD)

You know how I know? Because people are getting dumber. Did you know that the average American reads at a fifth grade level? And you know who we have to blame? THE YUPPIE SOCCER MOMS. They, with their dumbness, are not only dragging down our standards themselves, but they're passing the savings onto us! (By dumbing down their kids. Probably can't understand what they're talking about.)

And you know how else I know? BECAUSE AMERICANS ARE LOWERING THEIR STANDARDS FOR GOOD LYRICS.

That, Frappy, gets a 6.9 out of 10. It's too obvious. It doesn't require the thinking. Not only does it not require the thinking, but about 75% of the American population isn't able to do the thinking required to interpret 90% of good lyrics. Because of this, they lower their standards. Music, which should be considered a beautiful, introspective, original, and interpretive thing that expresses deep meaning of one person's views. And about 75% of artists can't even write their own lyrics.

Music should be beautiful. And not beautiful in the pin-up, Pamela Anderson, plastic surgery, fake way. Beautiful as in originally beautiful. Beautiful because it isn't AFRAID to express flaws in society, or people, or flaws in general.

Most popular music is the exact opposite. The ONLY FLAW, the only BAD thing most popular music expresses is something as simple and mediocre as getting grounded or your boyfriend isn't calling you/just dumped you or you weren't invited to that party.

And if it's not expressing simple, mediocre things that are hardly considered bad in the majority of the rest of the world's ways where hardship prevails, it's talking about something horribly overused and cliche. So much for ORIGINAL. Personal disrespect (as in not liking what you see in the mirror) is overused and cliche, almost to a point where it fits into the category of simple and mediocre things. And they do it with happy, upbeat, bubblegum pop music to accompany it.

Ironic, isn't it? It shows how hypocritical these people can be, almost to a point where you can't help but wonder (possibly even hope), that these people FEEL such personal disrespect for themselves. When you're doing the impossible, dumbing down American "culture", then I bet you do.

...Unless you're too dumb to feel it.

Music should be INTROSPECTIVE. It should deeply analyze the world's problems, or personal views. Or at least be poetic. If you're going to talk about a simple, mediocre, or horribly overused and cliche problem, at least be VAGUE and POETIC about it.

...That is, unless you're too absentminded to do it. (Maybe you should question what people tell you, instead of mindlessly going with what they say as long as you getting money is involved?)

Music should be ORIGINAL. And not just for the purpose of copyright laws, either. Music is about expressing yourself. If you can't write your own lyrics, you SHOULDN'T be in the music industry. Seriously. Before the average American can't read. Write original lyrics, about what YOU feel; you're OWN personal views. Talk about a topic that HASN'T already been covered by every artist and their uncle Bob. Don't have boundaries, don't be AFRAID to go "over the top". Point out problems; don't ignore or evade them with emptyminded pop.

...Unless you're to CONFORMATIVE and CONFINED to do it.

Music should be interpretive; it should have meanings within meanings. Double meanings are cool, too, you know. American Dreamin' had two meanings. The overall song talks about Jay-Z's days as a wannabe gangster. The surface meaning could be interpreted as "It's a dangerous business. Don't worry about compromising values or health to be on top. You're lucky if you survive." The real meaning, the meaning within the meaning, that you actually have to think about is amazing; it's a big slap in the face to 80% of the rap industry. (I'll admit, rap IS getting better.) This is the real meaning:

You're now in a game where only time can tell,
Survive the droughts, I wish you well

At this part, the person becomes a gangster; a job of uncertainty. (After all, it certainly isn't your everyday cubicle job.) The person narrating it is pretty much saying "Survive and do good."

Hold on, survive the droughts? I wish you well?!
How sick am I?! I wish you HEALTH.
I wish you wheels, I wish you wealth,
I wish you insight so you can see for yourself.

This is something of a turning point. The guy (Jay-Z) is pretty much saying, "What's wrong with me?! I can't believe I'd say to do good in commiting crimes; I really wish you to be healthy, to be successful in life; I wish you insight so you can see for yourself that crime isn't the answer, that there are better, more safe and ethical ways to earn money and be successful.

THIS is why I love those lyrics.

At the end of the song, it says this:

You can redefine,
The "game" as we know it,
One dream at a time.

It's pretty much saying you can turn the "game" from being in a gang to a more honorable, (or maybe at least LEGAL) profession--and you can start this "revolution" with YOUR dream.

While the beginning shows how he planned to go to college, and how he regrets and feels sorry for choosing crime over college, but he needs the money fast. He actually is APOLOGIZING to his MOTHER.

...And this is one very rare case where it's okay to be direct with the message, as there IS a deeper, underlying meaning.

THIS is how you know if you've got good lyrics.

Now I'm done with the serious rant.

O.M.G. FRAPPY. W.T.H. You TOTALLY stole my joke. And you CAN'T usually pull it off on a blog, 'cause you gotta have the accent and everything. Except for I can, because I'm hilarious.

You want beautiful? Listen to the songs on my Top 10 pretty song list from the last post. Seriously, the first three made me cry my eyes out, they were so sadly beautiful.

Good GRIEF, Latte. DON'T insult Chicago, seriously. Jeez, why don't you move to CALIFORNIA or something?!

(The funny part is that probably no one got that last joke.)

JUST KIDDING. DON'T MOVE TO CALIFORNIA, BECAUSE THAT WOULD TOTALLY SUCK. But really, don't insult Chicago, because I have a GREAT amount of love for Chicago.

Seriously. I LOVED the weather outside today. It was absolutely beautiful. (Except for the fact that it was like, pitch black out way earlier than usual.)

And really, DON'T apologize for your ratings. They're YOU'RE opinion, so you shouldn't apologize. Seriously. I can't STAND it when people apologize for their opinions. Or say "no offense" before or after anything that isn't a racist joke meant for good fun.

...And possibly shock value.

Anyways, I'm out!

The Weather Sucks (and observations on American Idol)

Disclaimer: Neither me or any of the Coffe Snobs is in any way affiliated with the Fox television network or American Idol.

Hey everybody. My post is going to be about just what the title says: how much the weather sucks. (And my observations on American Idol) Enjoy my comments!

First off, the entire "Chicagoland" aree is experiencing very gloomy weather. It is humid yet cold, and it still has not started to rain, so there's nothing interesting to listen to/look at. This is definetly harshing my vibe. : )

Now for my American Idol Talk: Ys everybody, Brooke White got voted off. Personally, I thought she was doing pretty well but apparently, the majority of the -I think- 45 Millinon voters didn't agree with me. Oh well, it's not like she was was going to win.

So: here is my list of the Ranking os the top 4 people from best (#1) to least (#4)

Top 4 rankings:

1. David Cook
Everybody knows that he's the best. He (and David Archuleta) are the only finalists that haven't been in the bottom.

2. Jason Castro
The guy can sing pretty well, but he's starting to irritate me slightly. : )

3. Syesha Mercado
Yes, she can sing, otherwise, she wouldn't have made it into the top four (4).

4. David Archuleta
He can sing, but net that well. The only reason he hasn't been voted off already is because he seems nice. The guy's only 16! He can sing, but he's way too young. In another five years, he might have a chance to win, but if he probably shouldn't win this year.

Well, that's all for now.
Toodle-oo,

P.S. The rankings weren't meant to hurt anyone's feelings.

=D Gotta love those smilies! =D

Cappuccino, those are good and all, but I also have a few fave songs/lyrics.

I think the lyrics to Taylor Swift's Tied Together With A Smile lyrics are really beautiful. I will only put the first verse and chorus on, though you should listen to the whole thing.

The only one who doesn't see your beauty

Is the face in the mirror

Looking back at you

You go around thinking you're not pretty

But that's not true

Hold on, baby you're losing it

The water's high

You're jumping into it

And letting go

And no one knows

That you cry

But you don't tell anyone

That you might

not be the gold one

And you're tied together with a smile

But you're coming undone

So yeah, I think that's beautiful, but Cappuccino might not feel the same way (cause her mama ain't learned her how to read). =D
