I cannot wait for Degrassi to come back out for the fall.

Gavin Degraw's "Sweeter" album > Gavin Degraw's "Free" album. I'm really loving every song. Can't stop listening to it. Can't wait to see him in concert again.

April 1985 - July 17, 2011.

R.I.P.

And starting Monday July 25 @ midnight for like 6 hours, old 90s Nickelodeon shows will air on Teen Nick. I'm soo there.

For 7 weeks starting Monday, new Degrassi episodes Mon-Thurs nights at 9. And it looks GOOOOOOD!!!!! I CANNOT wait.

Oh, I saw "The Princess and The Frog" for the first time this week. It was soo good. Very well done..a black princess. Yay!

i was thinking about this yesterday...

i wonder if cavemen and primitive men had dreams. if they did, what did they dream about? did they realize that they were just dreams and that they weren't real, or did they think more about them? why humans evolve to dream? do dogs and other animals dream. well i'm pretty sure dogs do cause prince and stinkerbell always wimp and cry in their sleep. do other animals dream? do fish dream? do trees dream? do bacteria dream? hell, do bacteria even sleep?

if primitive men dreamt....lets say a cave man fell asleep and then dreamt he was flying...did he know it wasn't real? did they think that certain foods that they ate made them dream these crazy thoughts? they didn't have tv, so it must have been some form of entertainment for them.

what evolutionary significance would humans need to dream? why do we dream? how does that help us as a race to survive. it's a known fact that if you don't use it, you lose it. every single thing in our body and how our bodies function has a purpose and a place. if we didn't need it, evolutionarily, that thing would get smaller and smaller until it finally becomes non existant. for example, our appendix. it's virtually not really important for humans. i mean, we can live without it. it does secrete a very limited amount of substances that aid in digestion, but they aren't necessary for survival. hence, this is why, over time, appendices in humans have gotten smaller and smaller. eventually, it'll probably be gone. we may develop a new organ that has a totally useful function.

ok, i'm going off topic now. dreams. i can't think of a single reason why we have it. i can see no significance to having dreams that will cause the difference between life and death. maybe they aren't necessary for survival, but are a result of something else that we do need to survive. i don't know exactly what they result from, but maybe it results from the brain being dormant for some period of time. if this is the case, do people who are in comas dream that entire time? no. you only dream during the REM (rapid eye movement) period of sleep. i don't remember seeing a person in a coma who's eyes were racing back and forth beneath their eyelids. but to be honest, i've never seen a sleeping person's eyes moving back and forth either and they were dreaming.

i wonder if time in dreams is real time. like, can you have this dream that seemed like it lasted for 3 minutes, but then you wake up and you've been asleep six hours. well, nevermind. obviously there's a time lapse there.

and i know people who can be in a dream, wake up, then try to fall back to sleep so they can finish the dream and they actually do! that's pretty cool.

i'm just saying, i think there needs to be some hardcore research into the mechanisms of how dreams work and what their purpose is.

ok, i'm done ranting and raving.

this is fun, i like talking about science. science is my passion. my next blog, i think i'm gonna write about what i wrote for my master's thesis. it's really very interesting stuff. it's about HIV/AIDS and how some people are immune from it and how and why they are immune.

i've said this before. i LOVE facial hair on a man. every girl says something different about a man that really turns her on. but for me...especially over the past year, i've grown really fond of facial hair. beards, mustaches, all of that. if you can only work a stubble look, fine. i prefer a lot of facial hair. full mustache, full beard, the whole nine. it's sexy. i used to look for a good smile and good teeth and nice big hands, but facial hair has far surpassed all of those.

however, i think if i were to get married, my man has to be clean shaven for the wedding photos. yeah, its kinda weird, but wedding pictures have to have the groom and bride looking traditional i think, so...

-jenny

so i got my fifth tattoo a few weeks back, but now i'm getting really antsy about starting my sleeve. i really want to get it going. it's gonna take a lot of time and money, but i have plenty of both right now.

and i want to go ahead and get lasik. and i need to start paying off my student loans. and i want to buy a house. and i want to buy a sports car...a really fast one. i feel like i'm just getting started and i'm excited for the future.

it's ALWAYS an adventure when i get home in the morning. i have to run up the stairs and then duck and dodge all kinds of moths and crickets and frogs and waterbugs and spiders that like to hang out by the bright lights of the hallway.

in other news...there is no other news. peace.

oh! i might get to see all of my brothers and sisters all in one place next month. well all of my biological brothers and sisters. so that's minus landon and jevonne. so i'm gonna get to see israel, c.j., alan, josh, sam, t.j., katrina (well, i don't know about her), and mikey. that's 8 and if you add me, that's 9. we have a family reunion in florida next month and we're all supposed to be going. if it happens, i am definitely taking pictures and i'll cherish those pictures forever. i don't think any of us have a picture with us all together. it'd be even better if landon and jevonne were in it. that would be 11 brothers and sisters all together. sheesh! now i'd love to see THAT picture!

i'm so obsessed with RuPaul's Drag Race and RuPaul's Drag U. the queens are so pretty. well most of them.

degrassi picks back up this week. i'm so excited about that too. i've seen every episode.

my breasts are sooo swollen and sore right now.

whenever i get married, i don't think i'd want to get an up-do. i would want it long and wavy or curly.

i think i want to make some jello shots this weekend. i've never had them, so this weekend seems like it.

and another debate me and vickey have as to who's version of "change is gonna come better. gavin degraw or sam cooke (original singer). and of course, we all know what the answer is.

here's gavin's version.


and here's sam cooke's version.


come on now!

-jenny

ok. so me and sam have this ongoing argument on whether who's version of "tracks of my tears" is better. smokey robinson (original singer) or gavin degraw. its no question about who is taking who's side. i cannot get gavin's version out of my head. it's been stuck in my head for a couple of months now.

here's gavin's version.


damn he's really good to look at ain't he? i love him with this longer hair. anyway, ...

and here's smokey version.


i think we have an obvious winner here.

and i love boyz II men and everything, but here's their obsolete version. actually, it's pretty decent, but gavin wins cause i say so.

sheryl crow did a really good song about first loves. "the first cut is the deepest". it's soooo true. here it goes:
