What am I doing?!

Most people who know me will say that I am very spontaneous. I like to do things at the drop of a dime. I'm a get up and go kinda girl. I have always had the luxury of doing this. It's always been fun, but lately I've been finding my bright ideas aren't so bright anymore. I think quickly and act more quickly. I'm impulsive.

Road trip at 12 am? Sure thing, who's driving... oh me? Camping on the beach on a Tuesday... "I'll bring the s'mores!"

I never used to question anything I did. Now that I am getting older... I'm starting to think about things more. It seems like lately all I keep asking myself is "What am I doing?!"

♥ Paramore ♥


Last night I had the pleasure of finally seeing Paramore live! &heart; They were absolutely amazing! The concert was in Bakersfield so Erica (@lovekimk) and I drove down that day. Of course we listened to Paramore the entire way down to get us pumped for the show. We met her cousins there (who had been waiting hours before we got there) and cut into line with them. I know I know, yes we are line cutters. The tickets we had were for general admission which meant we were gonna be in the big giant mob on the floor. That was ok though...well ok if I was 6 ft tall. This is one of the only times when I consider myself vertically challenged. I couldn't see over the crowd very well, but at least I had my camera and caught most of it on film. Hearing Hayley sing live was awesome! She really has the best stage presence. They played all my favorite songs and of course I sang at the top of my lungs. This band is well worth seeing and I can't wait to see them again! If you'd like to see video of the show, check out my YouTube channel and enjoy!

Concert review (sort of)

This past Saturday I went to a Heavy Metal show at the Starline. My first... at least that I can remember. I went alone. I know what you're thinking..."You went to a heavy metal show alone!?" None of my friends would go with me, but I really wanted to see a few of Fresno's finest local bands. The local bands I've seen and love are Subdue and Down Word. Another local band Euphoria whom I have not seen was the first to go on. I was really impressed with them. I would definitely like to see them again. When I was told about them, they were compared to Nirvana. I didn't really see the comparison because I thought Euphoria was a lot harder sounding. Down Word came on next. They had a few technical difficulties but they are really fun to watch! They are really a band to watch out for and big things are coming from them! A Band of Orcs was up next. I was really intimated by this band. They are a band thats dressed in full "Orc" regalia. I am not one who likes to be scared and anyone who knows me, knows this. I basically played on my phone while they preformed (sorry) but I was able to hear the music. A little too hard for my liking. Subdue came on next and was awesome. Finally Mary Magdalan came on. They were the headliner. Again they were a little too heavy for my taste, but I really liked that they had a DJ instead of a drummer. The show they put on was worth the wait til end. Over all I had an awesome time checking out these bands and supporting the ones I've seen.

Chicken Enchilada Casserole with Sour Creme | TasteFresno


Chicken Enchilada Casserole with Sour Creme | TasteFresno


Today I was looking for something simple and delicious to make for dinner. Of course I decided to check out a website I love called Taste Fresno. There are tons of recipes to choose from so I started searching by ingredients I had on hand. I found a recipe for a Chicken Enchilada casserole. The pic looked delicious! So I raided my fridge and cupboards and found most of what I needed. I went got the rest for about $10 which is good in my book! The recipe was simple and quick! The best part was that it tastes delicious!! I definitely recommend this dish! Also make sure you check out the Taste Fresno website!!

Fresno... I love you!

I'm not originally from Fresno. I came here in 1997 to attend Fresno State and i've been here ever since. I never really cared too much about what's going on around me. At least up until a year ago I didn't. I was in my own little bubble, content doing the same things, knowing the same people, stuck in a world of monotony.
About a year ago, my cousin Joseph introduced me to a whole new(to me) world. He was always out and about. Going all over Fresno, having an awesome time everywhere he went! He is a social butterfly and has no problem meeting people and making friends. I on the other hand take a little longer to open up and let loose. I am getting much better.
I was online checking out local music and found out about 40 Watt Hype (late bus, I know)! To my delight they had a show coming up and I wanted, no i needed to go! Most of my friends are pretty picky about their music and I didn't have anyone to go with. Well Joseph came through! He had seen them before and was totally down to go with me! I had a blast! We had been to a few different events since
So thus it began... my journey into finding out what Fresno has to offer. This January Joseph moved to Berkeley to go to school. Since then I've been all over, trying new stuff, going to all the events I can. I have come to love Fresno and the people of Fresno. Fresno has some really awesome things to offer and the same goes for the people!

Facebook fail...LMAO





This seriously makes me laugh every time I see it! How can people be so stupid?! Nevermind. This just showed me. I've seen this posted on just about every epic fail site I found. It's funny because one of my friends was asking our boss if she could add him on Facebook. He respectfully said no. She was like I don't understand why. HAHA! This is why!! If we're having a bad day of course we're gonna talk about it! Twitter, Facebook, Myspace (wait, does anyone still use Myspace?), anywhere and everywhere we're gonna post it. Well I am anyway. This post seriously made LOL. Gotta love it!
