I know some of you like country, so no offense. I dont hate ALL country,(unlike Mina) but a lot of it is starting to make me cringe. When I get into the car with my dad I turn the radio DOWN! I still like a few artists here and there and some songs. I used to hate it when teenagers said "I hate country!" because I thought "Yea, how much of it have you actually listened to!?" My mom hates olives and has never ate one. YA! I know!

I guess voting should close tomorrow [That is to say, Friday] at midnight.

Yesterday, Yael Naims "New Soul" song comes on TV and this time its not the MacBook commercial. It says "Theres a new song going around". "Its New Soul by Yael Naim" Now available at HMV for 11.99$!! GO BUY IT NOW! DO IT!! Thats such a good price.

Recently I said that Rammstein made it cool to be (or simply ok) German. (Well half) A friend said "RAMMSTEIN? Thats your example?" (Well not those words exactly but something to that effect) So instead I present to you this:

OLD SKOOL GERMAN CULTURE/DIE ALT DEUTSCHE KULTUR

The person who put these up has an unhealthy obsession with lederhosen. Did you notice how pale these men are? SEE ITS NOT MY FAULT. YOUR FACE.

The Schuhplattler (aka slap dance) is said to be the oldest surviving European dance, going back to Neolithic times.The origins of this dance are found in an early courtship display (Balztanz). Such a dance was described in 1050 by a monk in the knightly poem Ruodlieb, wherein similar postures and movements of the Schuhplatter are depicted.

The homeland of the Schuhplattler dance is Tirol, a region in Austria. (Also popular in Bavaria, Germany) In days gone by young men wished to impress marriageable young ladies with their dancing prowess. Initially the style was free without rules. Performed usually in a 3/4 time, one would carry out a series of jumps and hip movements to the time of the music. Characteristically the dancers will rhythmically strike their thighs, knees and soles of the feet, and stamp with the feet. Nowadays the dance is usually performed out of tradition, maintaining the older customs, and as part of the activities of Trachtenvereine (that is, societies which maintain traditional dress, songs and culture of earlier days). (Meine boyfriends Schuhplatter is hotter than your boyfriends Schuhplatter!)

NOW I THINK ITS SUPER COOL TO BE GERMAN. DUDE, THE SLAP-DANCE!! You might have seen this super cool dance on The Sims 2 Vacation Expansion pack.

Once upon a time, I had a love in my heart for him...he was 18 in this pic so not a kid, but even when he was a kid (so was I) I had a crush. Hehe! Probably my earliest.
