Looking Back

I guess I was doing something right. I accumulated over 25k views last year even though I only created 11 posts. I gotta recapture that. However, I’m not sure if I want to stick with this blog, while it’s been so dormant over the past year, or start fresh. I know it’s purely up to me, but I think I may start a new blog entirely. New username, new everything. I need to start fresh while the new year is still fresh. I’ll post an update when I’ve come to a final decision. Until then, I need to decide what I even want to blog about. I think that’s where I’m lost. Along with the rest of my life.

‘Femme Fatale’ Brings Britney to Life

TonyVote — Wed, 30 Mar 2011 09:30:26 +0000

Let me start things off by saying this: these past 2 days have been very eventful. I believe the highlight of it all was picking up a copy of Britney Spears’ newest album “Femme Fatale.” OMG! I was STUNNED. The first three songs absolutely captivate your attention. Then Britney slowly rapes your mind. It may be her best album ever. That is a bold statement coming from me because the last album of hers I fully enjoyed was “Oops!…I Did It Again.”

kinda looks like a serial killer....

Despite her mishaps with the law and going crazy and shaving her hair off, she’s a made woman. I’m glad to see her back on her feet. She’s got 7 studio albums, 35 singles(4 of which have reached number 1 on the Billboard Hot 100), 405 award nominations and 280 awards won. I’d say that’s one hell of a career.

Scarlette Johansson, 26, Attends Wedding….

Side Boob Anyone??

…with a man twice her age, Sean Penn,50. Please readers, I urge you to find me one Hollywood relationship where the age difference was in the +20 range that worked out. Not that there’s anything wrong with being 50 or anything. Look at Damon Wayans, he’s 50. How about Daryl Hannah, she’s 50 too.

But Tony, I don’t even know who Daryl Hannah is?

Sure ya do! In 1984, she played in “Splash” alongside Tom Hanks.

But Tony, I wasn’t even born yet.

Okay then, how about Little Rascals from 1994? I’m sure you’ve seen that movie. Now, she wasn’t a main character or anything but if you saw the clip, I’m sure you’d know who I was talking about.

[She Appears about a minute in.]

Speaking of Little Rascals. Have you seen Alfalfa lately? Haha, his real name is Bug Hall.

Bug Hall AKA Alfalfa

What was your favorite movie as a kid?

Sorry I had to end that last update short. I should have just saved it for later, but I didn’t wanna leave my readers with nothing. Here goes Part 2(of 4) of my “26 of the Best Tweets Ever” series. If you missed the first entry I suggest you start here!

I can’t get enough of some of these tweets. Especially “Lebron James’ Ego”. It’s funny how someone has that much time on their hands to dedicate a twitter account to being so egotistical while acting like a celebrity.

I hope you’ll join me tomorrow for 26 of the Best Tweets Ever(Part 3.)

Be sure to comment and let me know which is your favorite so far. If you have any suggestions, please feel free to send them my way. You can either mention me on twitter, leave a comment below, or email me at tonyvote@yahoo.com

So, I’m sure most of you know (and if you don’t now you do) that twitter just turned 5 years old back on Monday. To commemorate this anniversary, I figured I’d come up with a list of the best tweets over the past 5 years. My friend Glen over at Face Rockers Inc, picked the number 26, and that’s what it’ll be. 26 of the Best Tweets Ever, ALPHABETICALLY.

4 Musicians You Should Know

TonyVote — Mon, 21 Mar 2011 17:36:54 +0000

What’s the first thing you think of when listening to a new song?

If you said anything besides “It’s got a catchy beat”, I might not believe you. When most people listen to music for the first time and not change the channel/disc, it’s because the song has a good beat to it. After that though, what keeps us wanting more? It’s how much of the music you can relate to. I’ve been fortunate enough to know a few musicians personally. Whether it’s because I worked with them at one point or I went to school with them. I can only hope for the best when I find out a friend/co-worker is in a band. It’s pretty amazing that they were able to pursue their dreams.

I went to high school with Joy Daniels. When we graduated, she went on to Berkley and studied music. Throughout high school, she was involved in anything music related(Band, Choir). I think the fact that she knows music theory and can basically pick up on any instrument, will help in attaining her goals. She goes by the name of Joy. You can find her music on her website

Next up is my boy Mikey-Mo. Some of you may know him, he goes by the name “Jersey” now-a-days. He’s in a pop-punk band called Hey Monday. Throughout high school he had band, “At A Glance”. I still remember some of their lyrics. I was a total fanboy. I mean, when you’re in high school or junior high and you really start getting into music, you could only dream of knowing someone that’s in a band, right? Well, after high school he worked and went to school. Later I find, back when Myspace was around, that he was in a band which was under Pete Wentz’ record label(The guy from Fall Out Boy). “This was huge” I thought to myself. It didn’t hurt that their lead singer is a female. That’s one of my weak points. I love bands with female lead singers.

This is their new song “Candles” which was also performed on Glee last week.

The next two bands I know from having worked with one of the band members. It’s fun working with a guy and knowing he’s in a band that performs live in front of thousands of people. It’s no big deal to me because I’ve known these guys since before they were in a band.

Narayan is the first of the two, I met their drummer while working with him. He’s an awesome guy. Definitely never a dull moment when he’s around, and if you ever run into him, just bring up the topic of tattoos, he loves them and has many. You can check em out some more on their website as well as buy their music here.

Last, but not least, we have Amber Blues. They’re more of a local band then anything. They’ve never really been able to get huge but they do have a strong following. I worked with Dave, who plays bass, at our local YMCA back in ’02 I believe. I think it’s safe to say that their band has been together since then if not before then. These guys have jammed since I can remember. They put out some really great artistic music. Unfortunately, I can’t post a You Tube video of them, but you can listen to their music and check out more over at their website here.
