New blog: http://akissbeforeigo.tumblr.com/

So I decided to strike out on my own. I started this blog with Amy L., who had the wonderful idea. I didn't think I would want to blog but obviously that was not the case. I found that I really like blogging because it is a way of keeping track of your ideas, thoughts, and life happenings. I get more personal enjoyment out of it rather than just having another outlet of broadcasting everything there is to know about me. So I decided that I would switch to my own personal blog and go with Tumblr. I like the layout and the different options you have to post things. So off to a new world of blogging and please follow if you wish. http://akissbeforeigo.tumblr.com/

"Amy, What did you do?!?"-Ashley

Ohhhh, I didn't do anything besides get a new doggy! Sadie is the name of my new little girl, a 3 year old golden retriever. Her story is that she was bought from a breeder by some awful people who ended up abusing her. She was rescued by some neighbors who couldn't keep her. So I found her through a craigslist ad. She is a super sweet, gentle dog. She doesn't bark and I am wondering if that is due to having had a shock collar on her when found....I've been wanting a second dog for awhile. Finally, after having looked for some time I find my dog. I'm happy to have her and for her to have a safe home.

You knock me off my feet baby!

The one person who I can think of when the words pop icon are brought up is Michael Jackson. I have so many memories of him and the videos that would come on MTV. "Thriller"-I was always so afraid to watch because I thought it was like watching a scary movie. "Billy Jean" and "Beat It"-I loved to sing a long with. "ABC"-how can not sing along to and then have that song stuck in your head all day long. Does anyone remember the movie, The Jacksons: An American Dream, and how sad you felt watching how badly abused that family was by their father? I remember watching "The Way You Make Me Feel" video and totally wanting to be the actress in that video and get snapped at by Michael Jackson....I think that is when I actually thought Michael Jackson was super sexy, or maybe I was old enough by that point to feel that way. "The Man in the Mirror" was an insanely sad video but still gave hope of the world coming together such as with the story of Baby Jessica which has a small clip in the video. Oh gosh then I think of "Bad" and how dangerous and sexy Michael looked in that video. I hear the beat of that song as I type this. Then there was "Smooth Criminal" and the video to me was like an incredibly good movie! It is like all of his music videos defined what MTV was all about. He is an icon for creating memorable moments and changing the way our culture reacts and adapts to new styles. He continued to do this with songs and videos such as "Black and White", "Remember the Time", and "In the Closet" (helloooo Naomi and Michael!!). So upon reflecting about MJ, I guess I would have to say that my favorite video of his was definitely "The Way You Make Me Feel".
