Oh AMAs, Where Do I Begin?

Perhaps first, that Kanye wants to be Elvis? Or maybe Miley Cirus's very Ashlee Simpson-esque jazzercise performance? The Pussycat Dolls and their stripper poles? Rihanna the pirate? Taylor Swift beating out Carrie Underwood? The Jonas Brothers beating out Colbie Callait? You pick, because I could go on...

Needless to say, I was quite less than impressed with this year's American Music Awards. The talent was lacking and more often than not, I felt as if I were watching dance awards rather than music awards. Performers such as Beyonce danced their hearts out, however, forgot that when performing for Music Awards, they're expected to sing. Crazy, right? Maybe it's me. 

I was disappointed that I missed out on Christina's opening act. I heard it was enjoyable. I thought Natasha Bedingfield was the most talent I encountered all evening. By far the most impressive. Then again, I turned it off before Alicia Keys hit the stage. I couldn't take anymore. Quite disappointing for someone who adores awards shows. Especially music awards. 

If you watched, I'd love to know what you thought. Did I miss any high (low) lights? Let me know...

Oh Monogamy!

Most girls wait and wait for a perfect monogamous relationship... and then... when that perfect one comes along... why does the grass always seem greener on the other side of the state line? 

I was one who waited and waited.. 

and waited..

and waited..

Then Mr. Perfect comes along with his fair share of flaws, but also his fair share of ways to steal my heart. Needless to say, quite a bit of time past now.. I can't really see my life without him. I'm fairly certain there isn't another out there who would treat me with the love and respect that he does. Example: Last night he came home from work, cooked a nice dinner for me that he'd thought out that day, watched the end of a Sex and the City episode (this is a big deal), took me out for ice cream, and came home to watch the Holiday, simply because I wanted to. Mind you, this is not an everyday thing, but it was a nice evening all about your's truly.

(Which will probably make some of you hate me after reading my next statement..sorry.) 

But what about those days when we long for something new and different, something wild and crazy, completely outside of our typical character? You know the kinds of nights I'm talking about.. we linger a bit too long with a charming and handsome close friend- of which I find I have too many of- late at night, we think twice about the guy supplying free drinks at the bar, we can't help but smile and wink at that one guy at the party paying us far too much attention... I mean, what's a girl to do, right? 

Best Friend (previously mentioned and yet to be nicknamed) and I have such conversations all the time.. we joke and laugh at our "misfortunes." She too has a long term boyfriend with whom she lives and she too has the same thoughts as I, all too often. The ironic part is, we both know we've got good things going, yet we both are entertained with thoughts of the aforementioned "greener grass." It's trouble... big trouble. Entertaining trouble... that we usually find ourselves in. We're young right? Right? Probably not a good excuse, but it's one I keep handy. I can almost promise you'll be hearing more of this as we get to know each other...

Oh, Life.
