barcelona, tyra, my phone, premies, samosas

1. Barcelona

Okay, so I've never actually

been to Barcelona, but everything about it makes me want to pull a Kanye and start punching away in CAPS LOCK. Because that place sounds like it is bitchin. Blame Travels with Rick Steves for my addiction (it's that bad), or even blame my lame ass Spanish textbook, but I'm a junkie now. What's so great about Barcelona? Three words: Gaudi, Dali and Thuggin.

Here's the thing. If you have ever wondered what is what like to visit Middle Earth of Tolkien fame, you should probably go to Barcelona. And even if you have no idea what a Hobbit is, you should check it out. Because Gaudi's architecture is simply, jaw-droppingly, out-of-this-planet AWESOME.

Check out the picture. That's just the thing that reminds me of Middle Earth. There's a buttload more, and some if it is still in construction (even though Gaudi himself is already in the big Hobbit home of the sky) but it's all so unique and splendid. It's a wave.

Dali is just a rockstar too. You know his paintings (you know the trippy one you really liked with the melty clocks around it? yeah). And from them, you know that if anyone OD'd a little on the drugs, it was probably him. Did he actually do drugs? I have no idea and I don't wanna look because that's what ruined Fireflies (but I actually just don't like Owl City too. . .) and There She Goes by the LA's for me. But Barcelona was hangout. His house is probably the most rockin thing on the planet other than Gaudi's architecture. I mean, come on, he designed his living room so that, when viewed properly, looks like Marilyn Monroe. If that is not love, I don't know what is.

And let's be honest, Barcelona, like New York, LA, Tokyo and Dubai just has got a thuggin atmosphere that is just better.

2. Tyra Banks

Tyra, or Ty Ty Baby as I like to call her, is the epitome of egostical, divalicious, self-centered,

etc. But here's the thing, homegirl is a diva, yes, but she is realer than anyone else. She's a diva,

and bitch KNOWS IT. Enough of all that fakey fake, "I'm going to do an expose on poverty and

the lack of feminine hygiene products in Africa, and then I'm going to tell you what my favorite 100$ scented caaaaaaaandle iiiiiiiiis!!!" No! With Tyra it's just straight and simple.

She doesn't just tell you about the homeless people and the

fat people--bitches, Tyra is the homeless people, she is the fat people, she is even the ugly

people. Tyra's been through it all. 24 hours in a fat suit? Duh she knows how the fatties feel. Tyra is fuckin awesome! And no way is homegirl ever gonna give away cars to an audience. She knows that they aren't there for free swag, they're just there to see her.

What I'm trying to say is this: Tyra is 100% self centered and kind of dumb at times, but egotistical people are HILARIOUS because they are HONEST. Jersey Shore wouldn't be half as funny without The Situation (but that's for another post!). And girl is feeeeeeeee-yuuuuce (fierce for those of you non-pop-culture-literate), that's for sure.

Can't believe she's canceling her show.

3. My Phone

My phone is bitchin, and I'm lucky to have it. I've spent a good 6 months with my

phone and I'm not planning on getting a new one anytime soon. Kickin photo quality and huge memory. If you don't mind T-mobile's terrible service, buy it! It's the Motorola Zine.

But don't get a phone if you don't actually need a phone. Spend that money, or have your parents spend that money on other stuff, because if Weezy is singing about how he's "down like the economy" in his druggy haze, then you know the economy is actually bad. So even if your family isn't having financial trouble, other people are. Like your classmates or Dustin Diamond. C'mon you guys, even freaking Christian Lacroix is having financial issues, and that really blows. When a fashion house is dying, you know that a part of society is dying. But I totally digress. . .

4. March of Dimes

I've been collecting money for March of Dimes since I was 8 you guys. Basically here's all it is: Babies who are born prematurely sometimes have severe health conditions, and March of Dimes goes to help save and relieve the suffering for these babies. You guys, help the BABIES! There's this thing called WalkAmerica every year at Sawyer Point and that's a huge fundraiser for March of Dimes. Register and go! Because it RULES! It's usually in April. http://www.marchforbabies.org/ here's the website dawgs.

5. Samosas

Alright, here's the truth. Despite the fact that I have so many ballin Indian pals, I actually have

a hard time with Indian food. It's the 8-year-old picky eater in me. Despite the fact that I down

pretty much whatever disgustingness that comes in Chinese food, I just can't eat a lot of foreign food without looking like a moron because I eat it so slowly and I have to ask what's in

everything. And it's just bad. But holy crap, Samosas rock. They are like little packages of savory goodness delivered in your mouth and then aim straight towards the orgasm control of your brain. No, seriously.

For all the picky foreign food eaters out there, try some Samosas (they can be spicy sometimes, so watch out). It's like equivalent to an eggroll. Like if you were going to do an old SAT analogy, it would be as follows: Cake is to Doughnuts as Eggrolls are to Samosas. And some of you guys may be like "What the fuck is she talking about, cake and doughnuts are opposite food groups. Damn, I'm going to hate samosas." In which case, I say to you, stop eating so many carbs, you're going to die. But I still love you. So eat a samosa. If you dislike it, it's whatevskis. I dislike applesauce (because I have texture issues). But seriously, try a samosa, that shit is deeeelicious.
