The Great Gatsby, Greatest Book of All Time

I read The Great Gatsby a few weeks ago but still the story was always an afterthought in my mind. I think I finally figured out how to summarize the story into only one sentence. The story is basically Tom and Daisy's love story through the eyes of Daisy's  cousin and Gatsby's neighbor and  Gatsby, Myrtle and George are all collateral damage to their love story. I mean think about it carefully.
When I first began to read the book I fell in love with Gatsby and  Nick instantly. The story is just magnificent and I can't wait until the movie. I love basically all the cast. The book is amazing and if you're planning on watching the movie read the book first.
I loved Daisy and Gatsby's love story it was just amazing and I was shipping them so much until the middle of the book when her true gold digging, shallow, self-absorbed colors were revealed. What also really annoyed me about her was how she stringed Jay along for so long and he reinvented himself for her and made all of his life decisions thinking of ways to earn her approval and she just. Oh well I just hate her and some people argue and say that she was just thinking about her future and Gatsby wasn't fast enough at coming back to her. Is she kidding me?
Also another character I hate is Tom. Tom. Tom. Tom. That little selfish jealous son of a gun. Not only did he know that Gatsby was innocent when he went and told George that Gatsby had not only an affair with his wife but also killed her. When Myrtle was his mistress and that his self-centered wife was the one who killed her. Tom just annoyed me from the very beginning because of him having a mistress which I find very wrong and also because he wanted to ruin Gatsby's life.
I just wrote a freaking essay on The Great Gatsby so if you read this and you didn't read sorry. And with that I conclude this post I hope you read the book/ agree with my opinions on the book.

Cougar Town

The sole purpose for me watching Cougar Town is because Abed mentioned watching it on Community. This might sound kind of psychotic but I'm in love with Abed. cool. cool. cool. If you didn't understand what I just said I must say that I am currently shaking my head thinking that anybody wouldn't understand what I just said. Anyway back to Cougar Town. So, I have no idea what people thought all the Friends stars were gonna do after it was cancelled (boo) but thank goodness most of them figured out what to do. Like Jennifer Anniston in Cougar TownHorrible Bosses and The Switch. David Schwimmer in all the Madagascar movies. Matthew Perry in 17 Again and The Good Wife. Matt LeBlanc in Joey and Charlie's Angels. Lisa Kudrow in Easy A and P.S. I Love You. Courtney Cox in Cougar Town. The show is amazing and it has lots of amazing actors I'm in love with and they are Courtney Cox as Jules Cobb, Christa Miller as Ellie Torres, Busy Philipps as Laurie Keller, Dan Byrd as Travis Cobb, Josh Hopkins as Grayson Ellis, Ian Gomez as Andy Torres, Brian Van Holt as Bobby Cobb and Bob Clendenin as Tom. The plot is actually quite funny and entertaining and surprisingly after 4 seasons I hope it will carry on like it is now which is hilarious and almost perfect. I can't believe it has carried on this long without being cancelled and I honestly am surprised.

How I Met Your Mother

Okay, so, everyone who watches how I met your mother is probably in the same situation as me. It's been 8 seasons for god's sake can they just reveal who the mother is. They should change the title of the show to Ted and Friends Lives. I mean it annoys me so much that the show still hasn't shown us who the flipping mother is. I love all of the characters especially Barney. The other annoying mystery is how Barney always dismisses someone if they ask about his job. It annoys me so much. Honestly, why can't they just end the show before it turns into a show like Glee and Community which is getting worse every season. It still hasn't got bad for the show but I have a feeling that soon it will get worse. People who watch Community mightn't have noticed the change in Season 4 but the new writer of the show sucks. Some of the amazing actors on the show are Josh Radnor as Ted Mosby, Jason Segel as Marshall Eriksen, Cobie Smulders as Robin Scherbatsky, Neil Patrick Harris as Barney Stinson, Alyson Hannigan as Lily Aldrin, Bob Saget as the Narrator, Lyndsy Fonseca as Daughter and David Henrie as Son. Well, if you haven't watched or heard of How I Met Your Mother you should watch it because it's worth it. Hopefully the show will end up as legendary on TV as Friends. Many people think that comedy shows aren't as good as different genres of TV like Science Fiction shows but I mean look at shows like The Big Bang Theory and Friends (yes I know I mentioned it before) which are a bit better than The Secret Circle and Heroes which have both been cancelled.

Juno, The Best Movie of All Time

Juno is about a 16 year old pregnant girl who is a junior in Minnesota the movie goes over the 4 seasons starting with Autumn. The dad is Bleeker her best friend. Basically, Juno decides to get an abortion though when she reaches the abortion clinic she runs into Su-Chin, an anti-abortion protestor, and while she tries to convince Juno not to abort the baby the only thing that convinces Juno to change her mind was that her baby might have fingernails by now. She then decides she wants to have the baby and give the baby up for abortion. I love this movie because of not only the plot but also the amazing soundtrack with Belle and Sebastian, Kimya Dawson, The Moldy Peaches, Antsy Pants and finally one song is sung by Ellen Page and Michael Cera. It is worth watching the movie. Now here are the amazing actors and characters in the movie. Some of the best and my favorite are Ellen Page as Juno MacGuff, Michael Cera as Paulie Bleeker, Jennifer Garner as Vanessa Loring, Alison Janney as Bren MacGuff and J.K. Simmons as Mac MacGuff. I can't add anything because I think you should watch the trailer and basically if you like any of these actors/actresses you should seriously consider watching the movie. Okay, welcome to my life of being a huge Juno fan who has watched it about 100000 times.

Parks and Recreation

Okay whoever hasn't even heard of Parks and Recreation should consider watching it if they watch 30 Rock or The Office because they are both sort of mockumentaries and they are all about life in office situations. Parks and Rec is really cool and they have amazing actors which you can check out. Some of them are Amy Poehler as the main character Leslie Knope, Rashida Jones as Leslie's best friend Ann Perkins, Aziz Ansari as Tom Haverford, Nick Offerman as Ron Swanson, Aubrey Plaza as April Ludgate, Chris Pratt as Andy Dwyer, Jim O'Heir as Jerry Gergich, Retta as Donna Meagle, Adam Scott as Ben Wyatt and Rob Lowe as Chris Traeger. The story is very interesting and it's about a group of people who work in the Parks and Recreation in Pawnee, Indiana. The characters are very amazing and the description of them are amazing. The plot is hilarious and all the actors are amazing and are perfect for the role. I really enjoy the show so much. My favorite characters are Leslie Knope, Ron Swanson and April Ludgate. So, I finally must add that Parks and Rec is amazing and I hope helped you decide to watch Parks and Recreation.

Vampire Weekend Facts and Why The Band Is Awesome

So basically I'm in love with Vampire Weekend. One of the best alternative rock/indie bands ever. I was first introduced to them by my older sister in the end of last year and unlike my other short term interests I am completely loyal to this band. Vampire Weekend basically explains why I like bands like Phoenix, The Neighborhood,  Foster the People, Belle and Sebastian and Kimya Dawson. Vampire Weekend have two albums Contra and Vampire Weekend and a new one is coming out on May 10th. I'm super excited. Two songs from their soon to come out album, Modern Vampires of the City, which are called Diane Young and Step. I added the links to their youtube videos. If you want to have an idea about what exactly alternative rock/indie music is then check them out. I honestly can't decide which song I like better. Vampire Weekend's songs have been on TV. I heard Giving Up The Gun in The Vampire Diaries. I love how this band's music is slowly changing and each song in their albums change.
