November 13th. 2007- The comeback begins..

Okay guys I promise this will be the last time I will post something of Britney.. at least until the VMA's or until something big happens. But it's inevitable for me not to do it. Jive Records had just confirmed Britney's new album will be released on.. mark your calendars.. NOVEMBER 13th. 2007. People Magazine and Billboard.com just reported it. As for the single, it has been out for less than 24 hours and it's number 86 on mediabase already. It's all over the radio. I've heard it 9 times yesterday on Channel 93.3.

The NY Daily News has reported more details on Britney's performance. And all of the reviews of "Gimme More" has been great until now. Just check "Blender" Magazine's review here. Britney is set to perform today at the LAX Club opening in Las Vegas. She was spotted rehearsing for her VMA performance yesterday at a dance studio in L.A. ... Oh she is also on number 6 on Z100 music chart in NYC. And she just made the top 9 of Jojo's in Kiis Fm in Los Angeles... in one day... Bet who's back?

It's Britney bitch!

Yes, yes.. A world of yes! The day has come... Britney Spears' new single "Gimme More" has been released! The song has leaked in the internet and let me tell ya something. She is back. Britney.com has updated the website promoting the single of the princess of pop which is set to debut on radio next week. Just today MTV's show, Total Request Live confirmed Britney will perform the single tomorrow at the opening of the club LAX in Las Vegas, which she is hosting. That sums to her performance at the VMA's next month. Yes haters, She is back!!

The song is hot! Is just an amazing dance track. I'm a rock guy, with a kind of emo musical taste, but this is amazing! Download the song on ubritney.com, or stream the song on breatheheavy.com, perezhilton, popsugar, and tob.com. Also, as if this weren't good enough, another track has been released, "Cold as fire" which is even better... racy, sexy, just hot!

Here are the lyrics of "Gimme More":

It's Britney Bitch!
I see you
And I just wanna dance with you

Everytime they turn the lights down
Just wanna go that extra mile for you (you you)
Public display of affection
Feel's like no one else in the room

We can get down like there's no one around
We'll keep on rockin' (keep on rockin')
We'll keep on rockin' (keep on rockin')
Cameras are flashing my way
Dirty dancing
They keep watchin' (they keep watchin')
Keep watching

Feel's like the crowd is saying
Gimmie Gimmie More (...)

Center of attention (even)
Even when they're up against the wall
You got me in a crazy position
Flat on a mission
You got my permission

We can get down like there's no one around
We'll keep on rockin' (keep on rockin')
We'll keep on rockin' (rockin')
Cameras are flashing my way
Dirty dancing
They keep watchin' (they keep watchin')
Keep watching

Feel's like the crowd is saying
Gimmie Gimmie More (...)

I just can't, control myself
More, they want more
Well I'll give them more

Gimmie Gimmie More (...)

Gimmie Gimmie More (...)

Danja:

Bet you didn't see this one coming
The incredible lygo
The legendary Miss Britney Sears
The unstoppable Danja
You gonna have to remove me Cause I ain't goin' no where.

Weird stuff

A lot of weird stuff has been happening lately. I was shocked to learn that Owen Wilson, the actor from the movies "Wedding Crashers" and "You, Me and Dupree" had attempted suicide, sliced both his wrists and took a big amount of pills to kill himself. He seemed to have a happy life.. successful career, good physique and HOT girlfriend (Kate Hudson), but he tried to take his own life.. wow.. that goes to show that we all have problems, superstars or not.

Today when I came back from school there was a police helicopter going around the place and the police was shouting all over that they were looking for a fugitive. Around 30-years, caucasian, with blue jeans and white shirt. OMG, I was scared to death... I really want to move the hell out of here. I live in a nice area but I'm over the insecurity in this place.

But not all is bad news, Entertainment Weekly Online and Billboard.com had just confirmed that Britney Spears' new single "Gimme More" will hit the airwaves as early as next week. The track has been produced by Danja (who also produced that annoying new song from Paula de Anda), and it's supposed to be a "club banger". See the info here. Also, new reports have been published leaking info on her VMA's performance. Her dancer says she will perform a medley of her single and a ballad called "Cry". She will appear in a "game of mirrors that make her appear and disappear" with the help of Criss Angel (!!). Her dancers will dance and perform stunts in the air and then the bridge of "Gimme More" will appear with a little "reggaeton" solo with Britney and another dancer.. Woww..I am more and more excited every day. Check more info on BritneyExperts.com

Weekend Update

Hi guys! This weekend sucks. I'm sick, I have the flu with this hot weather.. why do this happen to me?? I was suppose to go out on Saturday but I didn't, I also was going to hang out with Schluter on Sunday but I'm not feeling good at all. And I have a shitload of homework to do. Oh well... yesterday I saw this two amazing documentaries on TV. One was called "God Warriors" on CNN, about that post I wrote earlier in the week, and the other one was of the Princess Diana on Fox News.. they're pretty good you should go watch it.

I don't have anything interesting to write about... oh but I'm buying my tickets for the Incubus concert on Wednesday. I'm going with my friend Briana. This will be my seventh concert this year. In 2007 I've seen Justin Timberlake and Pink, Stranger, Gwen Stefani with Akon, Daphne loves Derby (without Daphne Loves Derby, just a bunch of crappy bands), Paulina Rubio, Peter Bjorn and John and now Incubus with the Bravery. It's going to be so much fun!

I also checked the prices for the VMA tickets.. I'm going to be in Vegas that day... and OMG. They are 3,450 dollars for the cheapest one and 9,000 dollars for the closest to the stage.. HEEEELLSS NOOO!! I can't afford that. So me and my sister and my cousins are just going to go and stand in the red carpet to see all the celebrities... hehee, at least. So, I'll update with my vacation ventures in two weeks.. Peace out!

The End of an Era

The Miami Herald is reporting there's rumors circulating that Cuban "president" Fidel Castro has died. There has been rumors of it for months now. People are happy for this news but they don't realize Fidel has people that are bound to keep communism after his death, like his son, and now more with the President of Venezuela, Hugo Chavez.

Communism will not end, but hopefully, Castro's death will bring a bit of hope for Cubans and Cuban-Americans for a free land once for all. The news should be confirmed shortly.

Sneak peek at the Comeback?

Hi guys! Sorry it took a few days to post but I've been super busy with school and everything else. Today someone from Britney Spears' camp has "leaked" a song from her upcoming fifth studio album. Us, her fans (Am I the only one left?) have been expecting this for over 3 years now. And most of us expected a bomb, a up-tempo song with killer beats and a new sound.. a la Toxic times 10.. but she surprised us, with a slow tempo ballad with rather depressing lyrics called "Baby Boy".

Go to Breathe Heavy.com to hear the song and read the lyrics.. My opinion? She sounds better than ever, it seems that she really feels what she is singing. It also seems like she wrote the lyrics because it clearly talks about her failed marriage. But.. she has an awful talking speech in the middle of the song when she talks of... grocerie shopping? Naaahh.. Brit you can do better that. Hope she can surprise us at the VMA's!

Stop the bullshit

Reading stories like this just make me so mad.. People are not defined by what they are, look or believe in. I may joke about it in the blog but the truth is that prejudging people by their looks is maybe one of the most despicable things in this world. I have a Muslim friend and she is a sweetheart and I believe Muslims shouldn't be called "terrorists". Think before you act or say something... Karma is a bitch.

On the other side, Hurricane Dean... It's going through Mexico and I please ask everyone to pray for those people. Most of the population in Central America and South Mexico are extremely underprivileged and sadly, they are always the ones that suffer the most. Hopefully nothing "bad" will happen and remember, we live in a first world country and should help the needed. My family and I are going to give a bunch of clothes for the people in Peru that had a tremendous earthquake last week... Go and help in the American Red Cross now.

Wow...

I don't like to double post in one day but this is so worth it. Kelly Clarkson is such an amazing singer and I just love this song.. Too bad she cancelled her San Diego show, I can't wait to see her live. Enjoy everybody!

High School Perfection

High School Musical 2 was one of the most watched shows in cable TV history. WHAT?! I, since the first moment hated that movie. I hated it because my five year old niece, who is still not capable to say a well-structured and coherent sentence couldn't stop saying "High School Musical 2 premieres this Friday at 8 in Disney Channel!", yeah i know... too much TV for her.

So then of course I didn't watch it on Friday (I have a life..) but I did get to watch it yesterday night.. And oh my god was it a riot. This la-la land, where everybody is happy and cute and they tend to explode in complete choreographed musical numbers in the middle of a kitchen is not for me. Yes, maybe I'm a bitter 18-year-old, but here is what I just couldn't handle of it.

1.Zac Efron: Is he a girl?? He looks like it! I mean the guy has the most perfect face structure, and the flowy hair and the expressions. I'm annoyed by him. I mean, he is everywhere. In the cover of Rolling Stone, in every single talk show out there, and I think he is dating that Gabriella girl... oh she looks like a furby too... (Remember Furbies?)

2. That one guy, Sharpay's brother... He wears all pink, all day and loves musical theater... and supposedly he is straight... Riiiight!!

3. Cheese Factor: Oh my god that was the cheesiest movie ever! I seriously wanted to scream at the screen after like the 5th. time Troy and Gabriella wanted to kiss but were interrupted by someone or something.. they finally kissed at the end, and they had fireworks.... exactly.

4. Hannah Montana Cameo: If I hate something more than the HSM2 kids is that Hannah Montana kid! Oh gosh she is so cute... too cute for me to bear it.. And she is for like 5 seconds at the end of the movie.

Oh well.. call me a bitter bastard with no heart but I don't like that movie. I don't know If you realized that before. And I guess this is not going to finish anytime soon. Disney Channel is cashing in with those kids and I guess we can expect to see "College Musical", "Marriage Musical", and the way Hollywood is going lately, "Rehab Musical 2"

THANK YOU

Hi guys! So today I just wanted to thank you for reading this blog! I started this as a hobby but actually there is people reading it! Thanks for everything.

This weekend has been pretty chill... La Jolla and PB on Friday with the cousin and her boyfriend, chilling with the friend on Saturday and barbeque with the family right now.. Oh yes, I'm such an anti-social. But the highlight of all was my encounter with the I-Phone!! OMG that shit can do everything! It's so cool.. my friend bought it and let me tell ya, is worth every penny of it.

But not everything is cool. I just realized i'm not going to be in San Diego when Street Scene comes. I'm so bummed!! It was destined to be great. Jaguares, Kinky, Augustana, Slightly Stoopid!!!! Oh well.. there's always 08.

And speaking of 08.. I think I'm moving to La Mesa or somewhere near North County in December... in the middle of senior year... yup... I'm all about timing.

Things that make you say WHAT?!

I feel better today. Thanks to everyone that helped me... Today as I was in school I started to write every thing that made ME say WHAT?! during the day, here it goes..

- Lip plump: Why do women want to plump their lips!! And some girl in math class used it and now she looks like a fish! Gosh, women are never happy with their appearance..

- Facebook: I just don't get it! How come you can poke people and send them drinks!! I just don't know how to use it.. I like MySpace better...

-Showoffs: So there is this guy in the gym I go to that never does anything! He is super ripped, model-like, and he just goes out there and struts his stuff around the gym, like saying "Oh look at me, I'm so hot".. Gosh I hate those people.. Why don't you just go to the gym and work out like all of us??

- Trigonometry: Test. Tomorrow. I'm sooo failing.

- VMA's 07!!!!- September 9th in Vegas.. Same weekend i'm going to LV with my parents. Vegas + VMAS + Me= FUN!!!.. And more with the Britney Spears rumors of her performance at the awards... I can't wait!!!

Separation anxiety

This is the first time I write two blogs in one day but I need to get this off my chest. Today I went to my friend Jose's worship night at his church. It was such a moving night where I realized that I haven't been the best catholic and the best man and that I need to step up my game and do more for others and less for my selfish needs.

Right now I am feeling a tremendous separation anxiety. It's not even funny. First, my cousin, which is more like a sister to me, went back to Mexico. She left a huge gap in my life and things are not the same without her. She was like my sidekick, my confident and now there is no one who I can actually talk whenever I want of whatever I want. Then, a couple of my best friends are leaving to college this week. And I know that things are never going to be the same.

It is too much to soon. Now i truly need my friends and family to be there for me. Sometimes when I feel lonely, I start to feel depressed. Maybe I should focus on the good things instead of this... But is hard. Comments will be greatly appreciated in here. Much Love and God Bless you All.

Queen of Photoshop

With all the controversy surrounding Britney Spears this days, if there is anyone that she should be grateful is the creator of Photoshop that helped her look this good in her Allure Magazine cover and the ad for her new campaign "Believe". Who said fake beauty was bad??
Two different hair colors, two personalities... yeah i love this bitch

Stupid stuff

So many stupid stuff is happening lately... oh my gosh i can barely handle it. First, 50 Cent announced that he is not going to release any more solo albums if his album "Curtis" was succeded in sales by Kanye West's "Graduation". Both albums are released the same day, September 11th.... Hahahaa, how stupid can he be to say that! But maybe he is just playing with our minds and this is just a great PR movement to boost record sales that day!! And maybe it will happen becuase his single "Ayo Technology" with Justin Timberlake is really good, impressively good may I say.

The L.A Galaxy.. oh gosh. They paid gazillions of dollars to have David Beckham, and he hasn't played any game at all!! He had some injury in his ankle.. but wtf, he is wasting American money!! Get your ass up and play, stop hanging around with you celebrity friends and incredibly skinny wife and do what you know how to do!!!

Oh well, I love stupidness.. I am stupid too. That's whyI love this next story. Birth control for pigeons... oh my god. I know there is a lot of them in Downtown but come on!! How are they going to do that??!!! Are they going to create mini condoms for pigeons??!! I don't even think pigeons have penises!!!!

Oh well.. I may just be a bit irritated.. It will go away.

Beach days...

Yesterday we had the CCNMA bonfire! It was so much fun.. It was probably the last time i will see some of my best friends because they're leaving for college. So I had to soak everything in and I did. I had the courage to tell everyone I loved them and that I will miss them and I felt great about it.

So thank you so much y'all!! Thank you for a great day and thank you for being my friends! Jose, Kaitlin, Julie, Adam, Briana, Annora, Kristi, Megan,Cynthia, Jessica, yesterday you made my day. I love you guys.

P.S: Thanks also to all of the people that started to read my blog! And thanks for the comments!!

A collapsing world

Doesn't it seems that everything is collapsing nowadays?? The bridge in Minneapolis, the mine in Ohio, and our economy each day. Is our world a safe place where we can have the freedom to have healthy and happy children and leave them to enjoy the wonderful world we have gotten to enjoy?

We have to take care of our world, there is so many different ways we can help, we just have to be serious about it and it's not even that much. Just turn off the lights when you're not using them, save water, recycle!! I have learned to recycle since I met a wonderful friend this summer who was even capable to look into the trash cans to get recyclable items. Now I save each aluminum can, piece of glass or whatever I see... of course I'm not that generous and I go and sell them.. hey, it's easy money! But still, it's in our hands to put a little bit of our will to try to change this mess of a world we have come into.

I hope this words can help you to set your mind into bigger and better things in the near future... We're the future and we are the ones that will have to deal with the consecuences of the actions of people right now. And I want my world to be better for me and my children. So don't fuck it up for me.

What happened to our music?

It's 2:41 pm. and I'm listening to my MySpace profile song, "Sober" by Kelly Clarkson. Gosh, she is so freaking talented! Her new album, "My December" is such a great material and it literally tanked in the music charts. And that makes me wonder what has the music industry made with our good artists?

Yesterday the nomination for the MTV Video Music Awards were announced, and of course Justin Timberlake, Beyonce, Rihanna, Nelly Furtado, Fergie and all of those folks got tons of nominations.. It seems that you only need to have catchy hook to become a multi platinum-selling artist. "Umbrella, ella, ella, e, e,e", "To the left, to the left", "I'm bringing the sexy back", and of course the super famous and incredibily annoying "G - L - A - M - O -R -O - U-S" of Fergie's song.

Please lets forget for a second the "Lean like a Cholo" and focus on some great music for me right now:

Peter, Bjorn and John: My favorite band in ages!! You may have heard the song "Young Folks", literally everywhere, but seriously, the whole "Writer's Block" album is amazing. I had the wonderful opportunity to see them in concert at the House of Blues in Downtown last week and it was clearly one of the highlights of my summer. They're the epitome of what rock stars should be, and their John is a tremendous guitar player!! Please check their songs out!

Augustana: I first heard the song "Boston" a while ago and later I found it again in my friend Jose's MySpace, and since then I've been a fan of them.. All of their album it's so great and I think I'm going to go see them at Street Scene next month. I can't wait!!

Other really good stuff right now: Plain White T-Shirts, Regina Spektor, Incubus' latest album, mexican electro-pop band Belanova and... the return of Soda Stereo!!! A hugely popular band from Argentina that is getting back together for a mini tour, they'll be in LA soon.. I'm going to see what I can do about it...

Aye, enough with my ramblings, read ya guys later!

Un-Democracy

Aye... so there is elections in TJ. Do they have a democracy there?? wow.. news to me. So this guy Jose Guadalupe Millan won, and finally Hank was defeated. Yes! I heard he is awful and had connections with drug trafficking.. Naaaah, TJ and drug trafficking?!!!! But yes, hopefully this will be the beginning of goods things to come for this city.. which i love... to party in!!!!

In more fun stuff.. STREET SCENE 07 IS COMING TO COORS AMPHITHEATER!! Yaaaaay... finally is closer to me. But all those North County people are outraged cause it's too far. Naaah, they're scared to come to Chula-juana, that's what's up! Don't worry you guys! Nothing is going to happen in CV and its mexicanicity, but if you don't wanna come, cool.. more space for us.

Oh gooshh, I love my dose of "trainwreck spears" mania. So Britney Spears hired Kelly Clarkson's old manager Jeff Kwatinez and is supposed to get her dying career back to life.. And i mean, he is the guy that made Kelly's "Since U been Gone" fame, so I guess he can handle her. BUUT.. she is dumb as a rock and she keeps screwing any good chances she gets. Like storming out of another photoshoot now for Allure Magazine.. biiitch!!! that was good PR!!! oooh god bless her soul..

Let's get this party started!

Everyone seems to have blogs nowadays. And I, I am an unoriginal human being with a craving for attention, a walking contradiction that cannot even understand himself. That's why I got my own blog! My name is Antonio Martinez, I am 18 years old and I live in San Diego, California.

I am a journalist, at least I think that of myself. I write in my school newspaper and in a mexican magazine that my cousin runs in Guadalajara, MX. one of the greatest cities in the world. Still, I have the urge to keep on writing and expressing myself. That's why I got this blog! To talk of all the randomness of my life and the world overall. So buckle down everybody!!

P.S: Yeah that's me in all my weirdness..
