Hey yall! (& yes I just put my southern twang into this) So last weekend (plus Thursday) was probably hands down the BEST weekend of my 20 years on this Earth! It's not just cuz it was my birthday, but cuz my friends are so amazing that they put so much effort into making it the best birthday ever. =) First, on Thursday I only had one class, which made it amazing, & so I got to chill for a little bit until my friend Felisha got out of class. Then, I went down to DSP to eat with her & she sneakily went to the P.O.D. (on campus grocery store for those of you who don't know) & bought me a Reese's Cup Pie (my favorite!) for my birthday. Then I got on facebook & saw that I had a ton of birthday messages on my wall, but the one that was one of the sweetest was that one of the leaders of Greeter Team tagged me in a post on our team page & wished me happy birthday. I went to Greeter Team later & they all told me happy birthday once they realized it was my birthday. Well after that we went to Cru, where I got a ton more people to wish me happy birthday. Then to top the night off, my Bible study got all of DSP (where we eat at) to sing me happy birthday & then they made me a card! The rest of the weekend was amazing too (even though I had no birthday extravaganzas on Friday) & I had 2 little birthday dinners, 1 at Taco Bell back home with some of my family, my best friend, another friend, & my ex/good friend that I've known since 4th grade, & then another at Steak N Shake by my college with my dad, grandparents, & 2 girls from my Bible study. All in all it was just an amazing weekend!
As for music, I wanted to introduce a very talented singer/songwriter from Dallas, TX with a kind heart & really freaking sweet red hair, Tanner Patrick! You may know him from the show Opening Act where he opened up for Brad Paisley.Even though Tanner is definitely a pop singer, he sings great with country songs too. He is a such a sweetheart & you can tell that he loves what he does cuz of the amout of work he puts into his songs & covers. He started out in a band called Disco Curtis, but then after everyone else went away to college Tanner started his solo career & changed his name from Tanner Howe to Tanner Patrick (Patrick is his middle name FYI). I actually became a fan of his the day he announced on stickam that he was gonna go solo with his music. He already has one song out, but if you can't get enough of his beautiful voice then check out his covers on Youtube (youtube.com/tannerpatrick). He also has some other sites worth checking out: Stickam, where he does a weekly live chat at 5 pm EST (stickam.com/tannerpatrick), Facebook (facebook.com/tannerpatrick), & Twitter (twitter.com/tannerpatrick). I think that's about all, but make sure you check out his newest cover of "We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together" & his original song "Merry Go Round". He's super talented & seriously the nicest guy ever! Go check out his music & share it with all your friends. Okie dokie, that's all for this week! Don't forget to comment & let me know any artists you would like me to feature & make sure to share this with a friend!

I'm Turning 20!!!!!!!!!!!! =D
So if you couldn't guess by the title (& my last post) I'm turning 20 on Thursday! At first it was a little scary to think that I won't be a teenager after Thursday, but now I'm just really excited for that day. Luckily, Thursday just happens to be my favorite day of the week cuz I have one class, Cru, I get to hang with my friends, it's the day before I get to go home (I love everything about that part except for the fact that I have to work, & on Twitter it's #Jerzday (for Stephen Jerzak & his family), #TaylorThrashThursday (for Taylor Thrash), #TannerThursday (for Tanner Patrick, who will be featured in a future blog, & #ThrowbackThursday (pretty self explanatory. I just can't believe it's already been 20 years! My mind is blown to the extreme! I mean it feels like just yesterday I was turning 16 & excited to get my permit, & now I'm almost (technically) considered a young adult. I've probably been bugging everyone with how excited I am, but I can't help it. I've talked about it since October 1st & it's almost here, where did the time go? But that's enough about my birthday babble.
In this week's blog, I wanna feature some pretty well known guys who came together to create the band MKTO, Malcolm David Kelley & Tony Oller. You may know Tony from a little show on Disney Channel called "As the Bell Rings" where he played Danny. Malcolm played on "Lost" where he played Walt. & if that doesn't jog your memory then you may remember them from a more recent show called "Gigantic" where they played Walt & Finn. If you still have no clue, then you must have been hiding under a rock & you just need to google them. Anyways, they both did their solo careers for a while but have joined forces to just explode our minds with amazingness, a mix of pop, rap, & all kinds of great things blended in! The band was first called Role Models, but just recently changed it to MKTO (their initials in case you haven't figured it out yet). They haven't released any official music yet, but I promise it's coming soon! In the meantime, check them out on Twitter (@WeAreMKTO @therealmalcolm @FollowOller), Facebook (facebook.com/wearemkto), Youtube (youtube.com/mktoofficial), Tumblr (MKTOofficial.tumblr.com), & Soundcloud (soundcloud.com/mkto). Welps, that's all for this week! Let me know of any music you want me to feature, leave comments, share this with your friends, & have an amazing week!

31 Facts About Me
Since it's October (my favorite/birth month), I thought I'd start by telling you all 31 facts about me. (for the 31 days in October)
1) My middle name is LeAnn.
2) My birthday is October 18th. (I'll be 20 this year)
3) My favorite color is blue.
4) My favorite animal is a tiger.
5) I'm a Christian & I believe that Jesus died on the Cross for my sins.
6) I'm a sophomore at EKU.
7) I can't live without music.
8) I have a dog named Puffy.
9) I work at Kroger.
10) I'm a major daddy's girl.
11) My Twitter name is @Paymitch.
12) I'm a social media jukie.
13) My friends say I'm addicted to texting. (I personally see no problem with it ;P)
14) I share the same birthday as Zac Efron & Tyler Posey, who happen to be 2 of my celeb crushes.
15) Singing is an outlet for me emotionally.
16) I recently discovered I have music ADD (when a song comes on I either dance embarrassingly, sing really loudly (& usually on pitch), or both.
17) I live in KY & I have teeth & I wear shoes.
18) I always dress up for Halloween, even if I just wear a costume once.
19) I love to hang out with my friends whenever I'm home.
20) I don't like the color pink, but I'll wear it if it's not a lot of pink.
21) I'm kind of a tomboy.
22) The only time I've worn dresses/skirts were prom, weddings, funerals & holidays at Church.
23) I'm quiet until I get to know people.
24) My parents are divorced & my mom lives in FL.
25) My eyes can change from green in the middle with blue on the outside to blue in the middle with green on the outside.
26) I can touch my the tip of my nose with my tongue.
27) My dream job is to be a singer & go on tour.
28) I really wanna be on The Voice, X Factor, or Glee.
29) I'm part British, German, Australian, Cherokee, & Chippewa.
30) I know a lil Spanish, German, & French.
31) Halloween & Christmas are my favorite holidays.
That's a little about me, now you should comment & tell me something about you. What's your favorite holiday? & since it is almost Halloween, what are you dressing up as? So far I still have no idea what to go as this year. Last year I was Laura Croft from Tomb Raider, but I need something new this year.
Now on to the music portion of this blog! This week's artist is actually the first band that I will be featuring. They are a 6 man band called Paradise Fears! Sam Miller (vocals), Cole Andre (guitar/vocals), Lucas Zimmerman (drums), Jordan Merrigan (guitar), Michael Walker (keyboard), & Marcus Sand (bass) make up this amazing band. They are a pop/rock band from Vermillion, SD. Each week they do #TurtleTuesday where they post a video on their Youtube (youtube.com/paradisefears) & they have some fantastic original songs, covers, behind the scenes, & more. This band has been a favorite of mine for about a year & a half. Right now the boys are working on their new album, but you can go to iTunes, Spotify, & Youtube to check out their old stuff. They have also teamed up with Children's Miracle Network & they are giving all of the proceeds from their cover of "The Fighter" by Gym Class Heroes & Ryan Tedder to the Children's Miracle Network. So if you don't buy any other song from them, at least buy this song for the kids, how can you say no to a $0.99 that helps kids. Also, the band has a Facebook (facebook.com/paradisefears) & personal Facebook accounts, plus they have a band Twitter (@paradisefears) & personal accounts there too (@samtwomiller @ParadiseCole @lucaszimmerman7 @jmerrific @mjwalker0 & @markymarky69). As far as any other sites, check out paradisefears.com for any information, paradisefears.tumblr.com, & westapenmerch.com for their merch. Make sure if you can go see them on tour with Go Radio this fall. All the dates are posted on their band Facebook page.
Oh, & there's a special reason why I chose this week to feature them....Thursday is Marcus's 21st birthday! & Friday is Sam's 21st birthday! =D Also, Cole's 21st birthday is October 30th! So happy early birthday Marcus, Sam, & Cole! Hope it's a great one guys! Everyone should go spam their accounts with birthday wishes!

BEST WEEKEND EVER!!! =D
First off, let me start by saying that Fall Getaway was the best experience EVER! I got to meet tons of new people, played some games that were surprisingly fun, got a call from Dylan Lloyd, grew closer to my Bible study, &, most importantly, grew closer to God! I can't wait for next year to do it all over again! =D
Next thing on the list, I need to introduce a new artist this week! This week it's My Genuine Find AKA Bobby Mares. I was lucky to call him my boyfriend yesterday on National Boyfriend Day for about an hour & a half. (you have to know him to understand) He's a singer/songwriter from Las Cruces, NM who has a style all his own, pop mixed with that Bobby flavor. He is also the creator of his own clothing line called Heartdrop & he raps on the side as B. Middy. Bobby's a hilarious guy but also one of the most humble guys! On his Youtube (youtube.com/MyGenuineFind) he has 4 hilarious/sweet videos called "Daily Dose of Compliments". If you get a chance, check him out on Youtube, Twitter, Facebook, & Keek. All of his links are either /MyGenuineFind or /heartdrop, except for his 2nd Twitter is twitter.com/iambobbymares. Also check out his website/tumblr mygenuinefind.com. That's all for now!
