Hey guys, DJ here. This post isn't gonna be all that long. This is gonna be rather quick.
So I've noticed that there are a few posts of mine on here that have zero views. I've said this before, I'll say it again: If you would like me to post about different things, TELL ME WHAT YOU WANT ME TO POST ABOUT. Not that hard, people. Sorry that I had to be a little bit harsh but seriously, if my stuff isn't that interesting, give me ideas for new posts and I'll gladly start accepting them and start posting different things. There are a few posts on here with NO views at all. If that's how it's gonna be for everything I post, I may as well either shut this blog down, or just not use it anymore because nobody is willing to read it. So either you guys give me new post ideas or this blog won't be here much longer. No sense in keeping a blog around that isn't even getting views on it's posts. That's it, rant over.
Sincerely,
DJ

Axe Excite Review:
Hello everyone, it's your favorite female blogger here!
So I recently started using one of Axe's newer products, Axe Excite. It came out earlier this year and is still somewhat new. Axe recently released another new product, Axe Apollo (which I'll review once I get my hands on some of it). But for now, this review is focused on Axe Excite.
The first thing I noticed about the product was, as usual, the smell. It smells a bit like other scents from other brands but, it also has that distinct Axe factor in it, which is what sets it apart from other products. I also noticed that it's not overpowering either. The smell is supposed to last you for 24 hours, as it says on the bottle or stick. And the product lives up to that promise. I could run a marathon, and it would still be working. Because the product lives up to it's promise of lasting for 24 hours, I don't have to re-apply all that often. When I do, I put on just enough so that it'll last longer.
Something else I noticed is that this product can be used by both men and women. There are a lot of women who I know who use Axe products. There are many reasons for this. Either their products work better for some women, they like the smell better, or whatever the case may be. I'm one of those women who likes Axe products better than others. I have no problem using other brands' products; in fact, I use a few different name brand products. I only use Axe when I go out or when I don't feel like wearing a different brand. I'm not saying that Axe is an alternative for me, it's just another product that I use along with many others.
In conclusion, I recommend Axe Excite and give it a 9/10. If you're looking for a product that lives up to the promise of "Lasts 24 hours", this is the deodorant for you, regardless of whether you use Axe or not. I'm not saying you must use this product, but if you want a deodorant that both smells good AND lives up to the promise of lasting for exactly 24 hours, I recommend this product. If you use this product by Axe or other products of theirs, let me know what you think in the comments below, or tweet me. Until next time!
Sincerely,
DJ

True 90's Kid!
What. Is. Up. Everybody?! Miss me? Yeah? Great! (:
I apologize for the long period of time that I was gone. BUT, I'm back now and have many ideas for new posts, so be ready for lots of new posts to come soon! Yes, I am a 90's kid. I was born in 1993 and grew up around a lot of really good music that would end up still being remembered to this day. Songs like Mariah Carey's 1993 "Dreamlover", lots of songs by the late, great, Aaliyah, more great songs from the memorable girl group, TLC, and lots of other great hits. Not only was there great music in the 90's, but we also had some amazing movies and tv shows.
Any 90's kid will remember the old Nickelodeon. We had shows like All That, Hey Arnold!, Rocket Power, Rugrats, Ren and Stimpy, Saved by the Bell, etc. There are too many great movies to list from the 90's but trust me when I tell you we had some amazing films made back then. There are a lot of great things about the 90's that deserved to be remembered. I think of all the eras we've had, the 90's was by far the best. Then again, that's just my personal opinion.
As great as the 90's were, we've come a long way from dinosaur cell phones, crazy color and shapes clothing (especially when they were baggy), and even the mullets. This year, I'm turning 20. I'll be leaving my teen years behind and entering early adulthood. But just because I'm entering my 20's, doesn't mean I'll forget the memories of my childhood. When I was born, I was born into the early 90's when a lot of things were becoming popular. I watched the world change and evolve after the 90's ended. To me, the 90's will always be special to me because they had a lot of great things that will forever be remembered. They gave us some memorable tv shows and movies, music sensations like Mariah Carey, Britney Spears, etc. They even gave us some of the greatest movies ever created. Let me know in the comments below what your favorite era was. Or tweet me at my Twitter handle which is in the description on the right side of my blog.
Sincerely,
DJ

I Know I Can Make It Through
What is up everybody?! It's me, DJ, as per usual!
I would first like to apologize for my absence on my blog. I took a little bit of a break for myself over the holiday break and began to focus on bettering myself. BUT, I'm back and plan on posting more just as long as you guys keep coming back to read these posts! Now, I'm sure to some, the title of my post sounds familiar, huh? If you were thinking of the Degrassi theme song, you are CORRECT! Yes folks, this post is about one of the best tv shows Canada ever created, and that is Degrassi.
When you think of Degrassi, you think of drama, relationships, break-ups/make-ups, etc. All of that comes to mind when someone mentions that famous high school. I started watching Degrassi when "The Next Generation" began in 2001. I remember all the old characters from those days and I remember the drama, I remember Ellie's cutting issues and her relationship with Sean, I remember Emma's relationship with Sean and other guys on the show, I even remember Rick putting a bullet through Jimmy's back which caused Jimmy to live the rest of his life in a wheelchair.
When it comes to Degrassi, everyone has a favorite character. For me, it's Spinner. I know, I know, why Spinner? First of all, he was funny as hell. He may have been a bully but when it came to relationships, he had a soft side to him. I watched all of those kids (including Spin) grow up on that show. I even remember when Spinner and Emma got married! Which by the way, nobody and I mean NOBODY saw that one coming. Nobody ever thought they'd see Spinner and Emma end up together, let alone MARRIED. I was one of those people. But after watching them on Degrassi Takes Manhattan, I became a fan. Spinner alone, is adorable. Spinner and Emma together? Adorable overload! The only time I ever saw Spinner that happy was when he was dating Paige. It seems that with Emma, he was able to find that happiness again and with someone better.
There are so many things on the show that have changed since the Spinner and Paige days. For one, the drama has been amplified. Also, there are more characters on the show, which means more storylines and twists and turns for the characters involved. I grew up watching Degrassi and I grew up watching it change and evolve. To see the new Degrassi compared to the old one; it's like listening to an old song you used to love and listening to an artist change it. Then you play the original and compare it to the new version. It's hard to get used to but sometimes change is good. For this infamous Canadian school, Degrassi can only go UP from here. In the comments below, tell me your favorite Degrassi memory and character. I'd love to hear what you loved and WHO you loved as well!

DJ

Pray For Newtown, CT
Good evening everyone. It's DJ here as usual!
Two days ago, there was another mass shooting in our nation. Only this one takes the cake for being the worst, most tragic one yet. 26 people were gunned down at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut. Twenty of those people were young children. Children who ranged from ages 5-10 years old. The other six were Sandy Hook staff, and teachers, including the school's principal and psychologist. The man who took these kids and adults away from their families was a 20 year old man by the name of Adam Lanza. And what I don't find surprising about this is that he had mental problems. Again, I repeat, I'm not surprised.
There have been a lot of school shootings over the years and each one was horrific in their own aspects. There was Columbine, Virginia Tech, now Sandy Hook Elementary School. An elementary school. According to the Mayans, the world is supposed to end on December 21, 2012. After this tragic event, I think the end may be coming sooner than we thought. Why, you ask? Because when hasn't there been a year when we didn't have a mass shooting occur? This year, we had four mass shootings happen. My question is when is it going to end? When the world is supposed to end or when someone stands up and says "Enough is enough already!"? Something needs to be done or else these types of things will just keep happening. Ever since the first mass shooting, it started a chain reaction. The domino effect happened and more shootings kept happening.
Two days ago, we didn't just lose amazing teachers and staff members. We lost 20 children who each had the potential to become something amazing. Each child had the potential to possibly be the person to change the world. Each child had the potential to make their dreams a reality and do everything they set out to do in life. Each child had the potential to make the world a better place then what it is. This Christmas, those kids will never get those presents their parents have sitting wrapped up with their name on it. Instead, they'll sit in the closet or attic or basement and will never get opened. This year, those parents will be celebrating Christmas this year with one family member missing.
Before I end this post, to anyone who was directly affected by this event, or to families of the fallen, my thoughts and prayers are with each and every one of you. You didn't deserve to lose your child or loved one. And your child or loved one didn't deserve to die for absolutely no reason at all. The monster who made this mess is now paying for his crimes up in hell. To all the 26 victims who lost their lives on December 14, 2012, you will never be forgotten and will be forever missed.
Sincerely,
DJ

The Big Deal With Instagram
Good evening everyone, it's your favorite female back at it as per usual!
For those of you who own an iPhone, you know about the app, Instagram. It's been around for awhile now and lots of people are using it and more and more and more people are starting to use it as well. One thing I see a lot of is people complaining about the pictures other people post on their account. Here's a newsflash for you pal. IT'S THEIR INSTAGRAM! If they wanna post pictures of their 200 pairs of shoes or post pictures of their meals or constantly post screenshots of the song they're currently listening to, that's THEIR choice! If they wanna do all that, they can because it's their account. And if you have a problem with it, here's an idea: stop following them!
Here's a question I have for those kind of people. Why would it be an issue for you as far as what other people post? If it were something offensive, derogative, or biased, I can understand that. But if they're posting pictures of food, shoes, clothes, etc. Why and how does that affect your life? They constantly post the same things over and over again? If they wanna do that, THEY CAN! Think about this, you don't like what they post? Think about how many people don't like what YOU post but yet they don't say anything to you I would imagine. It's ridiculously easy to unfollow someone and block them if you hate what they post that much. All you have to do is press the unfollow button and BOOM! You don't have to worry about seeing their pictures anymore! So simple, right?
This is the first time I've done a rant on here but this is something that really grinds my gears. This issue is the same as the one on Twitter and everything I just said applies to the Twitter issue as well. So people, listen up! Got a problem with what I post on my Twitter? See the button that says "Unfollow"? G'head and press it for me if you don't mind. You won't be missed, I can assure you of that. This goes for ANYONE who might have a problem with what I put on my Twitter. Don't like it?Look at how much I DON'T care! I apologize for going a little crazy on this post but I just really needed to say something about this.
Sincerely,
DJ

The Pros and Cons of Online Romance
Hello everyone, 'tis I, DJ!
I wanna first apologize for not posting in awhile. I've been busy lately and doing some soul searching. Today's topic of discussion is the pros and cons of falling in love online. While it's convenient and fun, it's also incredibly dangerous and with good reason(s). How many stories do you hear about people going to meet their significant other in person and something happens to them? They get kidnapped, raped, murdered, missing, etc. There's also the fear that the person you're familiar with from the online world may not be who they say they are in real life. That's probably the worst way to get your heart broken.
Let's start with the pros first. Like I said, it's easy and convenient to meet someone online, start a connection, and fall in love and have feelings enter the picture. It's so easy to see that person's picture and fall in love with the person they're showing you even if that person isn't actually them. Regardless, you push all your doubts aside, you ignore the warnings of friends and loved ones, and you put all of your time and energy into your relationship with this person and the person in general. You invest so much time and energy in them, that it eventually consumes you and they become the center of your world. You suddenly can't live without them in your life. But there are so many cons with what I just listed.
Here's the cons of online romance. Yes, it's easy to fall in love with a picture. But that's all it is. That picture could easily be whats called a "site model". That basically means that the picture of the person is real, but those pictures are used by other people instead the photo's original owner. It's so easy to find a good looking picture from Google and put it as your main profile picture and say "Yep, that's me!". The only way to know for sure if that person is really the person from the picture is by doing one of two things. Either getting that person to get on webcam and show their real, true face. Or, go and meet the person IN person and see for yourself without the assistance of a webcam or computer. Those are the only two ways to know for sure.
If you're not sure if the person you're talking to is real or not, do as much research as you can. If you notice any holes in their stories or things seem suspicious, call them out on it. You have a right to know the truth. You have a right to know if the person you're seeing is real or not. There are too many stories of people who fall in love online, only to find out that the person they love doesn't even exist. There's even a tv show on MTV based on this topic called "Catfish" which is based off the movie. To everyone who reads this, if you're in an online relationship, PLEASE be careful. That's all I ask. Have your hind-sights on and know what you're getting yourself into. Because these things could easily turn dangerous. Thanks for reading, and be careful.

DJ
