Dear Helen - The one where i couldn't think of a snappy title

Hola

As you can tell from the title, i really couldn't think of a good name for this Dear Helen as i plan it to contain things that do not really connect together (Beacause thats how i roll ).

I have finally this week, after 2 weeks, managed to perfect my lemon cake and some delicious cookies, i would insert a picture but they all got eaten before i had a chance :( lol. This means by the time of my BBQ i should have some cakes in which everyone will not be able to refuse.

The second thing to happen this week is that me a Freddie have become friends and he no longer jumps whilst i try pulling off. I spose it does make things alot easier when your pulling off in 1st gear and not 3rd. I also have a new car air freshner thats smells freaking awesome :).

CONGRRAULATIONS ON PASSING UNI :D ... we finally did it, congratulations on passing, i think we should all be very proud of ourselves :)

I am going to wrap it up there, as i need to sort my playlist out for the bus tomorrow :) .. Adios!

Doctor Who - My top 10 Episodes (New Doctor who)

One of my favourite TV shows since i first watched it as a child, is Doctor Who. This had led to conversations with my friends to consist entirely of Doctor Who quotes. So i have ranked 10 episodes that i constantly watch because i think they are awesome.

10- Bad Wolf (2005) - because of some fantastic lines and robot Ann Robinson
9- Eleventh hour (2010) - first Matt Smith episode
8- The runaway bride (2006) - first Catherine Tate episode
7- The lodger (2010) - James Corden 'football thats the one with sticks right'
6-The curse of the black spot (2011) - Pirates :)
5-The Snowmen (2012) - Victorian governess and snow :)
4- Asylum of the Daleks(2012) - Super good episode
3- Robot of Sherwood (2014) - ' i am the doctor and this is my spoon, En Garde'
2- Unicorn and the wasp (2008) - ' tell me there's no noddy!'
1- Victory of the Daleks (2010) - ' alright its a jammy dodger, but i was promised tea'

So this is my list, and i challenge Helen and everyone who reads this to compile their own list.

Dear Helen - The one with a theory

Hola amigo

We definitely need to meet up soon, its a case of Northampton or Leicester :P

As we both know i am not a major Harry Potter fan, but i am pretty impressed with the marathon that you decided to do and i think the order was unique. I think the next thing you need to do is read the books in the same order ( i think that would be slightly weirder lol).

I am intrigued to see this 'frog clock' because as we all know frogs are awesome (especially Disney frogs). On that note i think it is time for a Disney store trip aswell i need another mug to add to my collection and maybe a Disney teddy.

I have had an awesome week so far as i have been driving my car (woop woop), and Freddie has enjoyed getting out on the open road (country roads ) but hey Tom does always say that i live in the sticks and that im a villager. I like that in the majority of our Dear Helen and Sarah series Tom is mentioned, i think he should feel honored.

You are right i reckon that Mcfly/Busted songs sound more awesome once you have seen them live, me theory for this is because every time you listen to a song, for example Riding on my bike, you tend to associate what happened in their live performance with the song therefore reliving the awesomeness of the concert henceforth making the songs sound even better, (wow my blog post got a little bit educational i think i need to do something about this).

CAN I MARRY A MARSHMELLOW

Cant believe we are nearly at graduation :o , its kinda scary but exciting at the same time if you get what i mean.

I think i am going to leave it there now as the sun is shining and the washing machine has finished lol, plus i have run out of things to say.. i shall depart with the traditional videos and pictures below .. Adios amigo :)

Dear Helen - The day of ups and downs

Heelloooo

I thought i would take some time whilst watching the Tennis (Murray is through to the last 8 :D) to reply to your Dear Sarah . It made me laugh when i read it yesterday, i mean you + coffee, its a win win combination.

So today i had my driving test. Unfortunately i failed again, but hey part from that it was a pretty clean sheet. However the exciting news is ... wait for itt....... i .. am ... getting ................ (drum roll) a car :). I am super excited as it means that when you come over to Leicester i can still drive just with a parent in the car.

Quick side note. my parents say when are you coming again, and you are welcome anytime :).

The other up of today is that we have our final exam grades back. I am super happy that i passed both exams and even more that i passed Criminology (as i didnt do much revision but shhhh) . Well done on all the grades you have got back you have done awesome :) i hope i can follow suit with my dissertation :).

I am going to wrap it up now as Tsonga has been taken to the 5th set :o (i want him to win his match). I hope you have had a good day and that your room now looks how you want it too. I shall depart with the traditional pictures and video.

byyeee! :)

Congenital Heart Defect week - Tetralogy of fallot

The post that i have chosen to write this week deviates slightly from the nature of the rest of the blog. However as this awareness week is very personal i have decided to write about it from a personal perspective.

Congenital heart defects are the name given to a range of heart defects that are present at birth, and affects how a heart would work normally. Congenital heart defects amount to be one of the most common type of birth defects within the United Kingdom.

Tetralogy of fallots one congenital heart defect, and is the one which i have. It is usually diagnosed when a child is very young meaning that surgery can be undertaken to help the heart function normally in many cases giving the child a very good life. Tetralogy of fallots where there are four abnormalities with the heart (Tetralogy meaning four). Although four defects are diagnosed only three are always present. It is not clear what causes Tetraology of Fallots but experts suggest that it is associated with chromosome 22.

The four abnormalities are:

• Pulmonary stenosis: Narrowing of the valve between right ventricle and the pulmonary artery. 
• Ventricle septical defect: A hole between the left and right ventricles.
• Over-Riding aorta: The entrance to the blood vessel that takes oxygenated blood around the body is next to the ventricle septical defect allow poor oxygenated blood to flow through it.
• Thick right ventricle: The heart has to work harder to pump blood through the narrowed pulmonary artery causing the muscle to thicken.

Through out the United kingdom there are many different hospital trusts and charitys that support both the individual and the family and friends. One Charity that does considerable work for all children and families who suffer from a heart defect, is Heartlink; which is based in Leicestershire. Established in 1981 its core purpose it to support the parents and family while their child is in hospital right the way through adulthood. Originally it was a great way for parents to meet other parents who then became a support network for people in similar situations. The charity offers support in many different ways including providing rooms for the parents to stay close to the hospital, holidays for the families and annual events (Christmas party). On the child's first admission to hospital they give them a goody bag which includes a special Walter the bear (with its own heartlink t-shirt), a mug, pen, pencil and car sticker.

Thank you for reading this special and different post in honor of CHD awareness week that runs from the 7th February to the 14th February 2015. Feel free to share this and comment if you want to. Until next time ... Live long and prosper.

Dear Helen - First blog of 2015

Hello, welcome to 2015 i know i am a little late but hey better late than never. So we have been back at university for 2 weeks now and i dont know about you but i think the weeks have flown by. I cant believe that we dont have long left which means we are going to have to grow up, which is going to be a strange concept for us to ;).
Its so weird not having our randomness on Friday mornings, it means that i no longer have someone to make me hyper on a Monday and Friday; however it means i get alot of work done (i dont know if thats a good thing lol).
Well im going to end it here as i think i need to go put the kettle on as its my turn to make a cuppa. Cheerio :)


P.S 3 videos are waiting below :)

Coronation Street - My fave characters past and present

Helloo everyone. Recently i spoke to some very nice people on twitter about characters in Coronation Street and i enjoyed it so much i inspired me to write a blog post on it. So i had a long think and chose 4 characters that are current or have left the show. Lets get started..

i would have to say that Graham is one on my all time favourite characters that has walked on the famous cobbles. He came into the show as David Platt's best friend, and through out his time on the street he was a butcher, window cleaner and gardener.While he was on the street he provided the much needed laughs and helped keep the show on an even keel.

The next character that i personally think was a great character was that of Sain powers. Sian first graced the cobbles as Sophie Webster's best friend. After starting up a relationship with Ryan Conner and then it becoming a unstable relationship (breaking up and getting together numerous times) she then realised the person she truly loved was Sophie Webster. This was not only played brilliantly by both actresses but it was also the fist time Corrie had shown a lesbian relationship and it was perceived very well by the viewers. unfortunately in December 2011 after Sophie having second thoughts about their wedding Sian left the cobbles.

Another character that i personally think is a brilliant addition to the cobbles is Mary. When Mary first came to the cobbles she was a bit of a strange character, but after seeing what her relationship with her mother is like she has won a place in many hearts up and down the country. And also who doesn't love the friendship between Mary and Norris.

Finally we have Kirk. I have been watching Coronation Street for as long as i can remember and Kirk has always been on of my favourite characters. The main reason for this is because he is a little bit slow be extremely funny. At the moment i think he is with the perfect person for him and the chemistry between him and Beth is amazing.

I hope you enjoyed my post and feel free to let me know who your favourite characters are and why. Thank you again for reading and until next time ... Goodbye!

Dear Helen - The end

So it has arrived. The last Dear Helen blog post. You know what this means. Yeah we have to actually start doing uni work. However there is a plus side as i will finally get to see all the lovely people i havent seen in 5 months. (wow that has gone quick)

The summer has been amazing espcially the holdiay,and the lush shopping was a much needed therapy.  However i am thinking that the trip to see me will have to move to the christmas break or easter break.

As this is the end (for now) i also think there will a lot more to blog about. I think that the ammount of Disney posts will almost double and you never know we might decide to each set up another blog and venture into something totally different. I cant wait till christmas party season arrives as we can cover the house in snow .. i like snow!

So as i have come to the end i just want to say thank you to everyone who has read these and i have had so much fun typing theses and finding the videos as i got to share some awesome videos and pictures. Peace and quite? i think i will be coming back to the uni house for a rest :P. Until Monday, have a good weekend and stay awesome :)

And now the videos .......

IM5 (Band)

Helloo everybody, hope you are all feeling good today. My post today is a music one, more specifically its on a new band that i have just started listening to. This band is as you can see from the title .. IM5.

IM5 have some amazing songs and to go with the amazing songs have some killer dance moves. As you can guess there are 5 members ..

Dana Vaughns
Cole Pendery
Gabe Morales
Will Jay
David Scarzone

I first came across this boy band when i found a video on YouTube called Disney Dudez. In this video each of the members took a role as a Disney Dude. In this series of 3 videos each member was a different Disney dude. Dana was Beast from beauty and the beast, Cole was Prince Eric from the Little Mermaid, Gabe was Aladdin from Aladdin, Will was  Shang . From the time between the first Disney Dudez and the second there was a change in one of the members Dalton who was Prince Charming left and in came David as Prince Philip from sleeping beauty. In Disney Dudez 2 he did do a good cover of let it go dressed as Elsa from frozen. If you like Disney i recommend this series of videos as they are funny and they contain the Disney songs that we all know and love.

IM5's music was  on the Disney channel original movie Let it shine. Their first digitally released single 'Everything about you' caught the eye of Radio Disney, and was play continuously for the rest of the year. This led to IM5 being the headliner at many Radio Disney events.

Recently they released 2 more singles 'get to know you' and 'heartless'. Personally if you like RnB and pop i would recommend giving these tracks a listen cus not only have you got amazing songs, the boys also perform some killer dance moves and they all look good doing it.

This brings me to the end of this post, i hope you enjoyed this post, its a bit of a short one but i wanted to do this post for a while. Thank you for reading it and until next time .. goodbye and have a fantastic day/evening.

Dear Helen - Only a week left

As you can see from the title i have also noted that we hardly have any of our summer off. We can fill the gaps with more Amazing posts about Disney and stuff, plus we have always got SHOPPING!!

i know i cant believe i didn't realise why it was called the elephant love meledy either i think i need to learn to pay attention to what is going on instead of singing along to the songs ;)

I'm glad you liked my Disney post. I do like Tarzan but i had soo many to choose from and it was one of the movies i didn't have as a child so i didn't watch it much, im sure i will love it by the end of this year tho :).

I have become addicted to Disney songs and my Disney playlist on spotify so we can annoy Tom with that :). Also i have become slightly obsessed with a new band who just happen to be really really really good looking ... IM5 . (Gabe and Cole are epically nice looking)

I have also learnt how to make new and wonderful things so you, Tom, David, Emily and whoever else is in the house at the time will be trying my delicious new bakes. I feel like im on the great British bake off lol.

well i think i should bring it to an end here or else we will have nothing to talk about :) mind you when has that ever been an issue with us :). Oh and Bad Education was really good so glad its back CLASS WARS!!!

Disney - My top 10

Hello everybody. This blog post as you can see by the title is about Disney films. I have loved Disney ever since i was tiny and it has a very special place in my heart. When i was a kid i watched loads with my brother and had loads on video (VHS - that makes me feel old). When i say Disney im going to narrow it down to animated films as they so good and i love animation. So let get going ....

10) Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs - First Disney animation so has to be in this list
  9) Lady and the Tramp - I like this film as its romantic and they have the cool spaghetti scene :)
  8) Beauty and the Beast - Amazing songs and it has a talking teapot how cool :)
  7) The Arisocats - Smooth jazz songs and its about cats :)
  6) The Jungle Book - Singing bear and and awesome panther :)
  5) Fox and the Hound - Cute dog, cute fox
  4) Aladdin - Robin Williams as the genie :)
  3) Pocahontas - Based on a real person and amazing songs
  2) Lion king - Really catchy songs, it has lions in it and Zazu has to be the best animated bird

And finally my favourite animated Disney film is ...

1) The little mermaid - This one is very close to my heart and i can nearly recite the whole movie and can sing all the songs word for word. It will remain my favourite Disney film and who doesn't love Flounder :) Plus it has Sebastian (crab) and who doesn't love prince Eric

That brings me to the end of my post. I have forced on films before 2000 as i was focusing on my childhood years. Hope you all enjoyed it and feel free to leave a comment i'd love to hear your lists. Also i need to thank my friend Helen for giving me the inspiration for this from her Disney film post. Goodbye!!

Dear Helen - A week late

Szervusz!

First of all i am sorry that i am soooo late uploading this. Your snapchats have been amazing this week, but i think we need to talk about the herbal tea thing (joke!). Pierre was soo cute. 

I am also enjoying the new doctor, i think its going back to the same humour as series 1 (2005). I thought the best episode so far was Robot of Sherwood but i have to admit the dinosaur was pretty cool. Shame it died but least it can say here i stand and here ill stay (get it :P ) 

we really need to have a Disney day, i have also been listening to Disney songs. The two songs ive been listening to most often recently is One jump and Poor unfortunate souls. I went one better and also watched the films which were AMAZING!!!! ( Tarzan is an amazing film also) 

I watched Moulin Rouge with my friend Amy on Thursday and as per usual it was amazing. I also finally worked out why they call it the elephant love medley. (i feel slightly dumb at this revelation lol). 

I hope you enjoyed my pics of the doggies i was dog sitting this weekend. I think i made a new friend in the puppy as she followed me everywhere. I also saw some really pretty fireworks this weekend :). 

One last thing before i go, i cant wait to go on holiday again next year and it will be even more awesome as 1 or maybe 2 awesome friends of mine are joining us :) 

So im going to leave it there, i hope you enjoyed this post and again sorry its soo late i will get back on track promise :). I will now leave you with some videos that have a link within the post. So until next time ..... Viszontlátásra!

Looking for JJ (Book)

Hello everyone, this post is taking another direction than normal. This year sees one of my favourite books celebrating its 10th anniversary. This book is called Looking for JJ by Anne Cassidy. So for these two reasons i thought i would do a book review for you lovely people reading this.

Just a little warning before we begin, there may be some spoilers ahead but i shall try and keep them to a minimum.

So the reader joins 17 year old Alice, who is working in a coffee shop and lives with her foster mother Rosie until she goes to university. She also has a loving boyfriend, so from the viewers point of view she has a relativity normal life. However when a story on Jennifer Jones appears in the newspaper things start to take a turn.

After this the reader then learns who Jennifer Jones is and Anne Cassidy perfectly portrays how someone deals with having a huge secret and try and function in a normal society.

Jennifer Jones was only 10 when it happened. She had moved to a new area, a new school and of course had to make new friends. Her mother did a job that Jennifer didn't understand but she knew that people came to the house and then they would leave again. As time goes on Jennifer makes friends with Michelle and she becomes the domineering friend in the group. As Jennifer is a neglected little girl she is prone to bouts of violence when somebody annoys her.

On the day that it happened Jennifer's mother is having a photo shoot done in the house, however when her agent says that her looks are not convincing enough she has the idea to sell her daughter. Luckily Jennifer had gone out to play with her friends.

Cassidy then does a fantastic job of unrevealing the story of what happened to Jennifer and how Alice was coping knowing that journalists were trying to expose her for what her past holds. Cassidy also does very well interweaving some very adult topics which by some writers might fall into the taboo category. This is accompanied by some fantastic imagery and a very good storyline from beginning to the end.

So this brings me to the end of this book review. I hope you enjoyed it. Like i have already said i high recommend this book as it one of those where you get hooked within the first few pages. Also if you did enjoy this review and decide to read the book, or if you love the book as much as me .... There is a sequel. I found this out earlier this week, Anne Cassidy published the sequel earlier this year as its been 10 years since Looking for JJ. The sequel is called Looking for Jennifer Jones and is available on Amazon for £5. Thank you again and until next time ..... Goodbye!

YouTube

Hello everybody, i am taking a different direction in this post and writing about one of the newest forms of social media, and that is YouTube.

YouTube was created back in 2005, it was originally set up be 3 pay pal employees but in the back end of 2006 it was taken over by Google. YouTube is used all over the world and for many reasons. Some use it for educational reasons, some to connect with people, some to promote music and art and some to have fun and make people laugh.

I first came across YouTube back in 2006 and first started watching episodes of my favourite Disney channel Television shows and watch the latest music videos. Fast forwarding to 2007 and i started subscribing to YouTube accounts. 2010 i used it for educational purposes and started watching documentaries to help me with my A-level sociology. 2011/2012 i started subscribing to more YouTubers and my list is ever growing.

One thing that i admire about YouTubers and the YouTuber community is the unity that they show. YouTubers from all over the world become united on one site and become some of the closest people. One thing i have noticed over the years is how some viewers of the YouTubers have said how they idealise them and how much they have helped them in times where they have been at their lowest point.

This is one of the major factors i admire about all the YouTubers, probably with out knowing it themselves they manage to pin point a certain factor in a young adults life where they may be struggling and they say something that will help the viewer alter their opinions on themselves and other people. Different YouTubers manage to do this in different ways, some do it through just sitting and talking to a camera, so through song, some through comedy but they all have the same one quality; and that is that when you've had a bad day or a bad year or even a good day they are always there for any individual and they are always positive.

However when i sometimes watch these videos i feel for the YouTubers. One main reason is espically when they go to events or meet and greets a lot of them talk about how the viewers can be intense, or how there are so many of them that they feel they don't get enough time with every individual person.

A lot of people on the internet like to club together what i have observed and call it 'YouTube culture'. Personally i don't like to call it 'YouTube culture' as it is applying that it is totally different from what people did before YouTube. I like to think of it more as a shift in society. This is because society is changing, we are now in a digital age which means more children and young adults are spending time on the internet therefore are going to focus their aspirations towards those people on the internet that are always there for them.

After that deep few paragraphs i would like to point you in the direction of  some YouTubers that i enjoy watching and that have helped me in low points. The first one is Carrie Hope Flecter (itswaypastmybedtime), Carrie is the first You Tuber i subscribed to after watching her first Dear Tom video and then watching all of the songs she has covered. To this day she remains one of my favourite YouTubers. The next one is PetesJams the reason for subscribing to his channel in all honesty is that he loves Disney just like Carrie and his covers again are amazing. My third subscription was Patty Walters and the reason behind this is that his covers of some of my favourite songs were amazing and i admire that he is straight edge. Another person i would like to point you in the direction of is Emma Blackery, the reason i enjoy her videos is that she reminds me so much of myself. Another one of my subscriptions is SprinkleofGlitter, i love her videos as she always so cheery and often included baby glitter who is ever so cute. The final person and my most recent subscription is thisbedottie. I subscribed to her because her recent video was so deep and amazing just like the rest of her videos. So if your reading this and thinking hhmm i want to join this YouTube i would recommend all of the people i have just mentioned above.

So this brings me to the end of my very lengthy and deep post about one of my favourite things on the internet. I hope you have enjoyed this post and my thoughts about the things i have talked about. This post was inspired by all of the people i have mentioned in this post and other You tubers. Thank you for reading and feel free to leave a comment. until next time .... Goodbye!

Dear Helen- Doctor Who Weekend

Greetings,

I am now back from all my holidays :). Monday was really good nice to act a bit random and not have a care in the world. Also was very good seeing the lovely David and Emily. I told you that Lush was Lush ;). Milton Keynes is a MUSTT!!! as we always have so much fun there and we can drag Tom round loads of girlie shops (nothing new there i know).

Okay i will do that post aswell although it might take me a while as i will have to condense my list as it is soooo long. also it might be on my 2nd blog i haven't decided yet :).

Well i guess the next thing that needs to be mentioned is DOCTOR WHO IS BACK !!!!. What did you think of the new doctor and the new series. Unfortunately i didn't get to watch all of it as i was in a caravan and people outside were quite interesting lol. But i have recorded it to watch again.

I think i am in need of a Disney/ Pixar marathon, mind you im always in the mood for Disney/Pixar. Fish are friends not food, Just keep swimming just keep swimming.


Thank you for all the Snapchat photos whilst i was on holiday some were amusing and the random doctor who quote texts were also good :)

I am going to bring it to an end now as i need to go and cook dinner, but until next time ... Fez's are cool, and fish fingers and custard ;)

Dear Helen - The week where i am slow at posting

Bonjour 

As you know i haven't been able to post much this past week as i have been on holiday (yay!). I've just spent the last week in sunny Great Yarmouth; well i say sunny it was little sunny then a little rainy and then a little bit thunderstormy. However being the great people we are we sat in a cafe on the seafront and sat and watched the storm. I am posting a few posts this week as guess what ... im going on holiday again on Wednesday. 

My holiday has been good, ive done all the British seasidey things, such as: crazy golf (lost), Air Hockey (i won 3-1), 2p machines, ice cream, doughnuts and the must do thing at the seaside... fish and chips. I had one upsetting bit as you know but thanks to you, Amy and Nay (my two friends at home), Emily and Steph Sharman i soon felt a lot better and got myself back to the person i was a month ago (for those people that are confused i was completely loopy and now im back to that =D ). So i would like to take this opportunity to thank all of you again =D. 

I need you opinion (and everyone else's). I think i am going to start another blog on travelling. I thought i could write about places that i have been too and places that i would like to visit. What do you reckon?. 

SPACESHIP!

I did manage to finish my blanket on time and made two pillow cases aswell :). I'm sorry to hear about your theory test but hey look on the bright side i have failed twice so now we can help each other out. I reckon that you can count your trip to Leicester as your second holiday after all you will be in a different county. Remember we need to save up this year to go and see Les Miserabels, but i was thinking that we could go down a lot sooner and get last Min tickets to see some other shows too. We could also keep and eye out for concerts :).

I'm running out of things to say now so im going to go and drink my cup of tea, and in the spirit of our conversation i will leave a cool video. 

Hasta Luego!

McBusted

Helloo readers, hope you have all had a good week. This blog post is going to be about a band that is a supergroup. This supergroup is made up of 2 of my faveurate bands from my childhood. These two bands my friends are McFly and Busted, who joined forces to create the one and only McBusted.

This year McFly celebrated their 10th anniversary and marked it with a stunning performance at the Royal Albert Hall. During this performance the fans were treated to a special appearance by Busted members James Bourne and Matt Willis. During their surprise appearance Busted along with McFly sang  3 songs: Year 3000, Air Hostess and Shine a Light. This then sparked rumours of a comeback for Busted.

On November 11th 2013 McBusted announced a 11 date tour in 2014. On the 14th November 2013 the tickets went on sale and within minutes they had sold out. This led to the band announcing six more tour dates which then sold out just as quickly. On the 17th November they added another four bringing the total dates up to 20. Not long after this more dates were added finally bringing up the total to 34 tour dates.

Shortly after this McBusted made their first television appearance on Children in Need singing a medley of songs.

On the 20th May, i got the amazing opportunity to see the boys in concert with my amazing friend (it was the best 21st birthday present i could have wished for). We saw them play at Nottingham and it lived up to the expectation we had built up the months before hand.

The atmosphere as we walked into the arena was immense and you could feel the excitement from all the people in the crowd, and everyone in the crowd that we spoke to was lovely and very well mannered which made the experience so much better.

The 3 support acts were good but the best of the 3 were Hollywood Ending (i will do a separate post on these later on). After they had performed it was finally time for MCBUSTED. Entering in a delorean Matt and James were the first to enter the stage and with a puff of smoke and some trap door up popped Mcfly.

One of the best bits of the concert was when they were on their spaceship in the middle of the arena and Dougie interacted with the crowd. (Dougie and Matt are my fave). Whilst on the spaceship Dougie's guitar broke and someone was invited to go and play bass with him ( this was then immediately shot down by security as it was deemed dangerous).

Finally after many more hits by the boys and Jackson 5 the best song in my opinion was played (year 3000) and with this came confetti cannons, and epicness (what else to expect from one of their biggest songs during their combined years in the music business).

This brings me to the end of this post, i hope you have enjoyed it and that my photography skills weren't too bad. I had to limit this post as i could have written much more about the tour because it was so good. So this is me signing off as im going to the Year 3000 to Crash a wedding.. (i hope you liked what i did there ;) )
