Dine in the Dark
Dinner Dates are so cliche - unless you're dining in the complete darkness!
I recently went on a date to a restaurant called "O.Noir" (located on Church street).
SUCH a cool experience!!
The restaurant is completely dark, and all the servers are blind!
You have to turn off your cell phone and anything that glows before entering the dining room, ensuring that it is 100% black the entire time. If you think your eyes are going to adjust - they aren't.
Of course, since there is no light allowed, you have to order your food before hand. There are several delicious options, with one of the choices being a "surprise" dish. I ordered the surprise app. and main, and to this day I'm not exactly sure what I ate!!! It was yummy though :)
When you loose one of your sense (this time, being sight), it hightens the rest of them, so you taste, smell, hear and touch differently than you normally would. Such a cool date idea, I very much recommend!
P.S I may or may have been topless the entire time... no one will ever know!! ;)

Twilight Saga Breaking Dawn Trailer
O M G
I literally cannot breathe!! There are goosebumps all over my body!!
I cannot wait until November 18th to go see the final movie in the Twilight Saga.
Just to clarify, I used to think people who watched Twilight were totally lame and boring... until I saw the first one. It started off slow, but the romance way too deep to keep me away, and I feel in love.
The second ones ending made me SO excited for this movie, and now that the trailer has been released I'm on edge!!
Who wants to go see it with me??!?!?!?!
(Only Twi-Hard fans only.. just kidding).
Check out the trailer below:

Chris's Car Collection
Chris Evans is an English broadcaster and business man, who is perhaps more famous for his car collection than anything else. He's described by car feens as the UK's biggest car nut.
With over 20 cars in his collection, he names a few of his favourites:
- Ferarri 550 Maranello
- Bentley Brookland
- 1963 Ferrari 250
The coolest thing about his collection? The majority of his cars have been white! I need to meet this man....
Universal Truths Men Should (But Don't Always) Understand
I found an old Cosmo today, and seeing as girls follow it like a Bible, here are 5 tips female readers want you to know:
1. Saying "I love you" before, during or immediately after sex doesn't count
2. Your shoes determine how fashionable you are
3. Never answer "fine" when I ask you how I look
4. Discussions of ex-boyfriends and ex-girlfriends should be avoided at all times
5. Yes we have an anniversary, and yes you do need to remember what it is.
Nude Skydiving
Whether it's your fear of heights or your fear of public nudity, this is bound to shake you up.
And I think it would be one of the times I'm extremely grateful for my small boobs...

Heroin Diaries
Nikki Sixx
The all-American Rock star, best known for his addictions and wild behavior. And the fact that he was the co-founder and bassist of Motley Crue.
Unlike the other band members, Nikki had a serious addiction to just about everything, including Heroin, the drug he describes as his one, true love.
So what does a rockstar with millions of dollars, platinum records, and a drug addiction do? Write diaries of course. Nikki used to record his life on heroin and other drugs, describing the highs and lows, the desire, the parinoia, and his struggle with his own mind.
Heroin Diaries follows the year in the life of a shattered rock star. His actual diary entries are written in black. Himself, along with his band mates and friends, such as Tommy Lee, explain to the reader what was going on during that time and what each entry is about. These reflections are written in red.
A very interesting, well-written book (especially for a guy who was so fucked up when he wrote it).
I highly recommend this book, and would like to give a big thanks to my friend C.D for lending it to me!
Heres a few quotes from the book, written while he was under the influence, to give you a small idea of what he went through:
"Sometimes I feel like I have two personalities. One is Nikki and one is...Sikki."
"There's this really funny thing about heroin... the first time you do it, you throw up, you feel so sick that you can't move. You lay on your back and your head spins and your body flips...you say to yourself, this is the stupidest drug ever. Only the dumb of the dumb would ever do it again."
"Heroin, once it became my friend, became like a warm blanket on a cold night. I don't get sick from it now - I get sick if I don't do it. Isn't it funny how that works?"

Quote of the Day
Seeing as today is Freddie Mercury's 65th Birthday (thank you Google), it only seems right to quote this gentleman:
"I always knew I was a star. And now, the rest of the world seems to agree with me."
RIP Freddie, your music truly did change the world.

BUD CAMP!!!
Tomorrow (at 4am I might want to mention...) I will head out to one of the most fun, most exclusive events in Beer World.
Thats right... BUD CAMP.
For those of you living under a rock, Bud Camp is basically the biggest and best party of the summer consisting of the perfect combination of alcohol and fun activities. It's an adults dream weekend.
1.) Budweiser. A fuck load of it.
2.) Bud Girls (who know how to party better than anyone... I may be bias. I am one).
3.) Activities: white water rafting, rock climbing, ATV-ing, etc.
4.) Band's and DJ's
5.) Fireworks and live entertainment
and a whole lot more but my arms are tired from the position I'm in.
Check out last years video, and see if you can spot me!!!
(clues: Im dancing on a bus... and on stage...and in the crowds. Goodluck!)
****side note: log on to the Budweiser Fan Page on Facebook for your chance to win a trip to Bud Camp next year!!!

Moves Like Jagger
Im swooning over Maroon 5's Adam Levine.
Not only does he have a wicked voice and play the guitar like a rockstar, but he's SEXY as hell.
I'm totally digging it (and perhaps even going to his concert next week??? hmmmm....)

All About Edie
"It's not that I'm rebelling. I'm just trying to find another way"
- Edie Sedgwick
An american model, actress and fashion icon, perhaps most famous for her connection to Andy Warhol, and her boyfriend Bob Dylan. The young beauty struggled with mental illness her entire life, and in became addicted to drugs and alcohol, eventually leading to her young death. She's someone who fascinates me, and I highly recommend people take the time to learn her story.
In 2006, the movie "Factory Girl" was released, headlining Sienna Miller, Guy Pearce and Hayden Christensen. It was featured around the last few years of her life, as well as her weird relationship and fall out with famous painter Andy Warhol. A great watch!

I Just Came To Say Hello
Picture this...
You and a few friends are grabbing a cockatail or five on a wednesday.
You've grabbed a nice little table in a prime location, and are chatting about your week.
A girl none of you know walks up and says "Hello". She stands there until you respond.
Obviously the polite (and normal) thing to say is Hi back. But then what? Would you be freaked out? Confused? Angry you were interrupted?
Would you introduce yourself and invite her to pull up a chair?
I was having a discussion about this with a friend of mine a little while back. We were discussing how in North America, unless its an event where everyone is wasted and social (think St. Pattys), it's usually considered "weird" to go up to people you don't know and ask them to join in whatever it is they're doing. Or to even just find out what their story is. People love having a stand-off-ish attitude, thinking they are far above everyone else where they are. I don't blame anyone, it's just the way our society is.
But I have learned that life is WAY more fun when you break these stupid little rules and start accepting other people. And when you go out of your way to introduce yourself to someone you would normally just watch from the side lines (think HOT football player).
SO my challenge to all if you is this: meet someone new this week!!! It's monday so you have a full week to fulfill this.
Good luck! Let me know if any of these introductions go horribly wrong (I'll blog about it!) xo

LOL!!!
Watch the fabulous and crazy... pardon me, KRAZY... Kardashians as the entire family (inlcuding Mason the babbbby and soon-to-be in the fam Kris Humphries) as they cover ET by Katy Perry.
So funny! It's a must watch.
