The 68th Annual Golden Globes

The 68th Annual Golden Globes was held yesterday, January 16th 2011, and the big winner of the night was The Social Network. This movie won the category Best Motion Picture-Drama and it was definitely a deserving win in my opinion. Where would the world be without Facebook, right? That's something I don't want to imagine...like ever.

Other notable winners were the tv series Glee (with two cast members winning awards as well). Glee adds a little extra sparkle to the average Tv show format and you have to admire how hard the cast works in prepping for all the songs and dance numbers and not to mention acting scenes. I was smiling like a proud parent when they won!

Natalie Portman and Colin Firth claimed the prestigious Best Performance by an Actor/Actress awards. Natalie for her role in Black Swan and Colin for his role in The King's Speech.

Hope you managed to catch the show, I always think its great to see the hollywood celebs being about as real as we could hope to see them. It's refreshing, but please do keep on working. Movies and Tv shows continue to be the driving force of the entertainment industry and life would be terribly boring without them.

Art Buzz: Lab Art 2011: Infinite Experience

The newest artwork from Lab Art aka theinternationallocal :)
It's called Infinite Experience

Press pLAy: Ellie Goulding

Ellie Goulding released her album Bright Lights in November 2010 and if you still haven't heard of her or listened to any of her music, you best get cracking on that now because she is simply amazing.

Her music is a mix of indie and electro pop, which in my opinion is a winning combo.

Awesome tracks on the album include:
* Your Biggest Mistake
* Human
* Your Song
* Believe Me

Every track has something different to offer and they are all cool in their own way, so def give this album a listen.

Press pLAy, there's nothing more to say!

Top 10 Song Lyrics

#10 Shakira - Don't Bother
"So don't bother
I won't die of deception
I promise you won't ever see me cry
Don't feel sorry

And don't bother
I'll be fine
But she's waiting
The ring you gave to her will lose its shine
So don't bother, be unkind"

#9 Eminem - How Come
"How come, we don't even talk no mo',
And you don't even call no mo',
We don't barely keep in touch at all,
And I don't even feel the same love when we hug no mo',
And I heard it through the grape vine we even beefin' now,
After all the years we've been down,
Ain't no way, no how,
This bullshit can't be true,
We family, aint a damn thing changed unless it's you"

#8 Krezip - I Would Stay
I have to learn, have to try, have to trust, I have to cry
Have to see, have to know, that I can be myself"

#7 Bruno Mars - Count On Me
"You can count on me like 1 2 3
I'll be there
And I know when I need it I can count on you like 4 3 2
And you'll be there
Cause that's what friends are supposed to do, oh yeah"

#6 KT Tunstall - Lost
"If I choose to go with the way I'm feeling
Does it really mean that's the way it is
Is it just a trick that my eyes are playing on my mind
Following the passage of least resistance
Following the pack just to pass the gate
It's a little late for a change of plan
Don't you think

I got lost following you
Following you"

#5 Cee Lo Green - Fuck You
"And although there's pain in my chest
I still wish you the best with a...
Fuck you!"

#4 Kid Cudi - Erase Me
 "I keep on running, keep on runningAnd nothing works
I can't get away from you, no
I keep on ducking, keep on ducking
And nothing helps
I can't stop missing you, yeah"

#3 Meg & Dia - What if
"Stand tall
Head and Shoulders down
They don't make'm like us anymore
You failed to see that i am not your shadow
I can be more


You said the world is hard to face
I am your umbrella, megan
But i can keep up with its pace
If you let me go"


#2 The Grits - My Life be Like
"My life be like
Ooooh Ahhhh ooooh Ahhhh"


#1 T.I. ft Jay Z - Swagger like Us
" You can pay for school, but you can't buy class"

MTV's The Buried Life: What do you want to do before you die?

MTV show The Buried Life features Duncan, Ben, Dave and Jonnie on a quest to complete a list of all the things they want to do before they die. Each time they cross off an item, they help a stranger cross an item off their list. It's a brilliant tv show and a great idea. So far on the show they have crossed off things like:

* Get in a fight

* Crash a Parade

* Escape from a deserted island

* Get married in Vegas

* Streak a Stadium and get away with it

and so the list goes on.

This show really got me thinking - what exactly do I want to do before I die?

Here's some things I have on my list:

1. Sell a painting

2. Own a house

3. Have my own business

4. Travel the world (currently attempting to cross this one off the list)

I know they sound simple but I think that's what I want most in life, all the other adventures can come spontaneously :)

Get thinking: What do you want to do before you die? and check out The Buried Life.
