I hope you are all having a great New Years. 2015 is finished and 2016 has begun. I wanted to post today as the first official post of the 365 (366? I think it might be a leap year). Yay!
I am currently watching a bootleg clip of Love Never Dies. You guys understand from a past post, that I absolutely love it and wish I would have been able to see it.
My New Years resolutions?
Actually posting every single day on this blog.
Pass all my classes, this semester and next.
Actually finish a story.
CONTINUE FIGHTING
Fair warning, the post on Monday, may or may not be pre-written and a scheduled post. I'm having oral surgery done. They're removing my wisdom tooth which is growing horizontally.
By the way- Ramin Karimloo's voice is absolutely amazing. If you've never heard him sing, I'll insert something below.
Feel free to comment on any posts. Let me know your thoughts on things. If you agree. If you disagree with something.
ALSO
FEEL FREE TO ASK ANY QUESTIONS OR SUGGEST SUBJECTS YOU WANT ME TO BLOG ABOUT
I will respond to EVERY question, and if there is an abundance at once, I will do an "Ask McCartha" post.
For those who are Ramin Karimloo fans, did you know that he did "One Song Glory" from RENT? The song is my favorite from RENT and Karimloo is my favorite Broadway/West End/Theater actor.
So yes.
I am fangirling currently.
Do you know who else is an extraordinary singer? Brendon Boyd Urie.
Boy can that man sing. I mean if by some miracle Urie and Karimloo did a song together, I might be the happiest fangirl alive.
Also Hadley Fraser. We CANNOT ever forget Fraser. I mean him and Karimloo are both close friends so they've done many songs together, but throw Urie into that mix and you have the Big Three.
Anyway, this blog is really off topic.
I wish you all a great 2016. If you read my posts, let me know. I want to recognize you for being a good person.
I apologize. The last time I posted on here was after my high school graduation and before I started college. My first semester was hell, but I have survived and I am looking forward to my next semester. If anyone actually follows my blog, let me know.
I will try to post more. I know I said that last time, but I have the app on my phone so I have no excuse besides classes, homework, or just plain laziness. I tried to post something two weeks ago and I wrote it all out, but I didn't save it and it was completely erased by accident. Hell I'll put an alarm everyday for this blog. And I'll post something. even if it's a small "Hello".
I have to get into the groove of posting again. And I will. I promise I will.
Even if I have to write the blogs all in one day for a week, I will. I promise.
I WILL DO IT
I hope you guys have a great rest of your holiday break.
Love is all, the laughter and the tears that fall. The mundane and the magical. Love is all.
One of the most stunning couples of Hollywood
At least they were one of the most stunning couples of Hollywood. You probably read the title and read that this blog post is about Marcnifer.
Made up of Marc Anthony and Jennifer Lopez. With my last blog post, you saw how I love and adore my flaco Rican, Marco Antonio Muniz.
But I also adore his second wife, Jennifer Lopez. And I adored them as a couple.
Marcnifer was my definition of true love when I was a kid. They were what I would have identified as "happily ever after" but they divorced, and well my whole world shattered.
Kidding. But let me tell you, when I found out that they were separated, I was crushed. Forreal.
I have loved them so much for as long as I can remember. They got married in 2004. I was seven. So maybe not for as long as I can remember- actually yes. Because I cannot remember a time before Marcnifer.
They've been friends- or have known each other- since at least 1999.
"No Me Ames" was the first song they did together. Before they got married. I believe that they were both single at the time, but I don't think they had a romance or anything because in 2001 Lopez married dancer, Chris Judd, and Anthony married Miss Universe 1999, Dayanara Torres in 2000.
I grew up around both of their music. My grandmother played Anthony's music sometimes and my aunt played Lopez's music (which I didn't learn was JLo until very recently).
But let me explain why I ship Marcnifer.
What they HAD* is what I want. Sure. It wasn't perfect. I know that. But they really loved each other. And I think that they still do love each other, even though they've moved on and are seeing other people.
When they were married, they weren't just husband and wife. They were best friends.
In his eyes she was perfect in her own way. And in her eyes he was perfect in his own way. I mean I can really imagine them staring into each other's eyes for hours.
I love this video. This was after they are already married. They are so cute together.
They both had a lot insecurities as most people do. But I bet he loved (maybe still loves) everything she hated about herself. And she loved (loves) everything he hated about himself.
What they had was beautiful. And I think that's one of the reasons I loved them. And why I still love them to this day, after the divorce and Anthony's third marriage.
They were the first celebrities I "stalked" through media. Every time I would go to the store, I would go through the magazines searching for anything about them.
Maybe they're not true love, but I strongly believe that they are soul mates.
I love the fact that they are still good friends, after the divorce and they're co-parenting.
At the twins 7th birthday party after they separated.
I love it not just because of their kids, Max and Emme, but because they were good friends before they got married. They had a beautiful friendship, which is probably how they fell in love over 10 years ago.
This one if one of my favorites of them. They are all so cute together. It makes me happy.
If you still haven't seen El Cantante since my last blogpost, YOU NEED TO GO WATCH IT NOW
Anthony and Lopez are both in is, playing husband and wife. It is the only film they have done together.
I think that they only did three songs together, which is weird, because they were married for ten years.
Only did one movie together and three songs. A bit upsetting to the Marcnifer fans, but it's okay. Because we get pictures of them and the kids together every once in a while.
An old photo, but my favorite. Why can't a guy look at me like that?
And I think that they still love each other. And they will always love each other.
They will never have what they had with each other, with anyone else.
During and the separation and the divorce, they did Q'Viva and if you watch clips on YouTube, you can see that they are still really good friends and I just love it.
And I do want a friendship like theirs, so if you see my "Be the Marc to me JLo" posts on social media, remember this blog post.
I want a love like theirs and a friendship like theirs.
I am ending with this photo because I love it.
From Left to Right:
Ryan Muniz, Anthony's third son
Shannon de Lima, Anthony's current [3rd] wife
Marc Anthony (You can see his arm around Lopez)
Cristian Muniz, Marc's second son
Jennifer Lopez (Her arm is around her former step-son)
Beau Casper Smart, Lopez's [current?] boyfriend
Emme Muniz, Marcnifer's daughter
Chase Muniz, Anthony's oldest son
Max Muniz, Marcnifer's son
It's such a sweet picture, and this is most of the Muniz family (Lopez and Smart included). The only one missing is Anthony's oldest daughter, Ariana.
But you can tell from this photo that they are a family.
And I really do love BC Smart, so of course I want him and Lopez to get married because he makes her happy and he really loves the twins.
Sorry that this post was so long, I just poured myself out.
P.S. By the time I'm posting it (12:14 am) it's not Sunday anymore. OOPS!
I do not regret this post and I don't think I ever will.
Marco Antonio Muniz
Born September 16, 1968 in East Harlem, is at the top of the Salsa charts, nowadays. At least I think he is. Don't really know to be honest.
He is one of the few Spanish artist I listen to. Even though I am Spanish...
But he helped me embrace my Nuyorican roots, because to be honest I disowned my Puerto Rican heritage growing up. I didn't know any Spanish- well except for a few words here and there- and plus I just hated the food.
But in reality, I just hated my mom's cooking.
But anyway! This blog post is about Marco/Flaco/Marc/MA - what ever you call him.
I admire this man so much.
His voice.
Have you ever heard him sing?
Here is a video:
The song, Flor Palida, and the woman in the music video is his lovely wife, Shannon de Lima.
I love de Lima, but let me be completely honest, at first when they first got married, I wasn't a fan because I, like a lot of his fans, believed she was a gold digger. They are twenty apart.
But being a fangirl, who has been in love with a 73 year old (Paul McCartney! Don't be alarmed!) I believe that love has no age.
So I gave her a chance and I fell in love with her. Let me just say, people talk a lot of crap, but I STRONGLY believe that she loves him. And she makes him happy, and that makes me happy.
And she calls him daddy which is cute yet a bit disturbing if you ask me.
I SHIP SHARC
So Anthony has 7.5 (ish) kids.
Ariana and Chase from a woman named Debbie Rosado. Chase does look like Marc, but except for Chase's Instagram page, there really is no verification for sure.
Cristian and Ryan from his first wife, Dayanara Torres.
Max and Emme from his second wife, Jennifer Lopez, whom I love whole heatedly.
Then there is de Lima's son, and Anthony's step son, I believe his name is Daniel. He is adorable.
Then we have Tony el mono, or Tony the monkey, which is de Lima's monkey, Tony makes up the .5
Marc Anthony has a voice that I can listen to for hours, which I have done. I mean I fall asleep to his music every night. He's on the same level with Ramin Karimloo and Hadley Fraser.
He is also an amazing actor.
El Cantante - Man on Fire - East Side Story - Big Night - In the Time of the Butterflies - Hackers - The Substitute - Bringing Out the Dead
If you've seen any of these movies, you know he's a great actor.
If you ever watched Jada Pinkett Smith's show, HawthoRNe, Anthony played Detective Nick Renata. It is one of my favorite roles that he's ever done.
If you haven't seen El Cantante, YOU HAVE TOOOOOOO
There. I told you to, so go find it. It's online somewhere.
His first film, East Side Story, is on YouTube and I will include it at the bottom, it was hilarious and he was probably 19(ish) maybe 20.
Anthony is just an amazing man and I love him. And I feel like he's a real sweetheart.
I mean if you watch interviews, or you watch him perform with JLo, before they got married, during marriage, and after the divorce, you will see and understand.
If you watch him with de Lima, you'll understand.
I WILL TRY TO POST EVERY DAY OR AT LEAST ONCE A WEEK LIKE I ONCE DID I AM SORRY FOR NEGLECTING MY BLOG I HAVE ALSO STARTED A PERISCOPE ACCOUNT AND A YOUNOW ACCOUNT SO I MIGHT START USING THOSE AS WELL THANK YOU TO ANYONE WHO READS THESE BLOG POST AND LET ME KNOW SOMEHOW
East Side Story included below: Enjoy!!
It has been two months since I posted!
It feels like a millenia.
How are you guys!
I was looking at the statistics of my blog and I saw that so many people have looked at my blog. I feel so special!
Let me explain why I haven't been on.
Are you ready?
SCHOOL
I was previously failing four classes, so my mother thought it was a good idea to take my laptop. AND YOU GUYS MISSED MY BIRTHDAY!!!
I don't have my personal laptop back, but Google Blogger is working on my school laptop finally, so HERE I AM!!!
Did anyone miss me? Do I have any avid readers? No? Okay. *walks away in shame*
Let me catch you up with everything that has happened since I last posted.
1. I AM FINALLY LEGAL!!! Only after waiting eighteen years.
2. I have refound my love for Marc Anthony.
One of my favorite pictures of them and the Coconut Twins
So let me explain. I am a New York born Puerto Rican (Nuyorican), HOWEVER, my parents did not raise me teaching me spanish. Growing up I only know the basics. Hola, adios, como estas, etc. However, I really liked Marc Anthony and Rick Martin's music, because it wasn't in complete spanish. They have some english songs and some spanish. Recently, since I've been taking Spanish in school, I have been listening to A LOT more Marc Anthony, and it sparked an obsession. The man is a talented singer, and actor and he's just so gosh darn gorgeous. Honestly, the obsession didn't start until I watched him in El Cantante, where he played Hector Lavoe opposite his ex-wife (who he was married to at the time of shooting) Jennifer Lopez, who played Lavoe's wife Puchi Lavoe. the movie is amazing and I recommend it, even if you don't speak spanish or have a spanish background. The movie is mostly in english, except for the songs, but there are some english lyrics. I ship Marc Anthony and Jennifer Lopez wholeheartedly. I know he is now remarried to Shannon de Lima, and they are cute together, but I don't think he will never have what he and JLo had. I opened a Marc Anthony Instagram account and I almost hit 100 followers, so that's exciting! I am currently listening to Marc Anthony's song "Espera" on repeat as I type this blog post. Not joke, I downloaded all of his songs onto my phone. He is amazing, if you don't believe me go watch El Cantante, you get to see him acting and you get to hear him singing.
3. I have been accepted to two colleges!!!
I originally applied for eleven schools. Only two have accepted me. One waitlisted me. And the rest just said no, including my dream school, which is Providence College. BUT I actually wasn't upset about PC saying no. I am excited about the first school that accepted me and I think that is probably here I'm going to go.
4. I have anxiety
All my life I have been an introvert. I keep to myself. Recently my family went to a dental clinic and since I am a legal adult now, I was left on my own and I had a bit of an anxiety attack. It was a scary moment for me, and I am going to talk to a therapist about it later this weekend. I need to know if there is anything I can do about it, because I really want to go away for college, but if it's going to cause a problem, it may be really hard.
5. SENIOR PROM IS COMING UP
I already ordered my prom dress, I'm just waiting for it so I can get alterations. I am going to prom with my best friend, Ells. Since the Prom theme is Alice in Wonderland, we decided to dress like characters. I am going as the Red Queen, tiara and all. Ells is going as the Mad Hatter. We have another friend who was originally going to be our Alice, but now she has a boyfriend and her own prom plans so we don't know what's going on there.
6. I have been doing A LOT more writing.
I have started writing a Marcnifer fanfiction called "No Me Ames" hopefully I will finish it soon, so I can post it on wattpad. It's about how they fell in love, etc. Of course I added some characters of my own, but I'm trying to keep it somewhat accurate. However, my opinion about some of the people in their lives is reflected with how I write the storylines for them in the story. I got a genius idea for a spin on Charlie's Angels. Armando's Angels. The idea came when I saw a photo of Shakira, JLo, and Beyonce. "Armando" is the rapper, Pitbull. His real name is Armando Perez, incase you didn't know that. I've been co-writing it with my best friend since only yesterday actually
7. Dan and Phil
I have been a fan of Danisnotonfire and AmazingPhil for the past three years, but it hasn't become a die hard fan obsession until recently and I really love them. They are coming out with a book and I may be able to get it.
I believe that's all that you guys have missed in my life as an 18 year old blogger, but hopefully since I have it working now, I will blog more again, and try to blog daily!!
Thanks again, if I have any avid readers, I doubt it, but who knows.
If you have not watched Supernatural Episode 10.12 - About a Boy, Do Not Read This Post
"Shake it off, shake it off."
I just finished watching, About a Boy, which is the twelfth episode of the tenth season of Supernatural.
Let me just say, I really liked this episode.
It was pretty amazing.
This pretty much sums up the episode, right?
Why did I love about a boy?
Let me count the ways.
1) Dylan Everett
2) Hansel and Gretel
3) Sam being too tall
4) "Your son is very nice"
Dylan Everett embodied Dean Winchester almost flawlessly. He got the mannerisms down pact, and I was a little bit disappointed that he left so soon, and I really want him to be in more episodes. He really is Jensen Ackles mini-me.
Do you see what I see?
Hansel and Gretel was on point with darkness. I love fairy tales. I love the Brothers Grimm because I have a taste for dark stories, and that is exactly what their tales are. Dark. I will be honest, Hansel and Gretel was never really a favorite of mine, but I still love it.
Sam is tall even without Dean being a teen. The scene in the car and with the window. Yes. I laughed. Supernatural can never crack enough tall people jokes.
;"Your son is very nice." Not even sure if that's even right, but I found it hilarious. Remember when people thought they were gay lovers? And now with Teen Dean and grown man Sam, they get mistaken for a father/son duo.
I really loved the episode and I think that Everett is an amazing actor, and I look forward to seeing him in Supernatural more.
I know it's Friday, and I was going to do, McCartha's Writing Fridays, but I thought nah.
I apologize for not blogging this week, I have been under the weather.
Still not feeling 100% (and coughing up a storm, while typing this) but I am going to try to blog A LOT more often.
By the way, I saw a guy at a smoke shop today, who looked like a really skinny (like toothpick) version of Rob Bennedict.
Mr. Benedict Cumberbatch and Miss Sophie Hunter are officially married!!! I just read an article on Daily Mail and I found pictures. I am so happy right now, you have no idea!!
Sophie Hunter in her wedding dress
I wish we had better pictures of her in her wedding dress, but I know she looks just stunning!
Cumberbatch's Sherlock co-star, Andrew Scott, arriving at the wedding
I am only providing the photos I found on Daily Mail. There are more photos on social media sites. The Daily Mail article does not have a photo of Cumberbatch, but I did see a photo of him and Miss Hunter. Unfortunately it is on my phone, and I make these blog post on my laptop. I no neither Cumberbatch, nor Miss Sophie will ever see this post, but I want to congratulate them. And I wish them an eternity of happiness. I just saw a photo of Tom Hiddleston dressed for the wedding and it made me smile. All I'm missing is to see photos of Martin Freeman and Cumberbatch's parents at the wedding.
