Top 10 sexy male artist voices

WARNING: Yumminess overload!!

Just a fun and random blog topic for a Saturday night, while everyone else is out partying and enjoying the effects of a nice icey cold rum :)  There is something about a sexy voice that just makes you weak in the knees... make that a sexy singing voice and it can make a girl hooked to any song they will ever sing. Haha.  Okay so maybe it's just me, but I have loved songs purely because I have been captivated by the voice of the singer.  Here are my top 10 male artist that have captured my attention for their vocals.  I have chosen my favourite songs that capture the complete sexiness of their breathtaking voices.  It just adds to the attractiveness and appeal of each and every one of them :)

1.  Jonathon Foreman (Switchfoot)

2.  Darren Criss & Matt Bomer (Glee)

3. Brad Paisley 

4. Brendon Urie (Panic! at the Disco)

5. Sam Larsen (Glee)

6. Michael Painter

7. Mike Rosenberg (Passenger)

8.  James Arthur

9.  Reece Mastin 

10. Olly Murs

I am interested to know if there is anybody out there who has had a "I don't care what your singing, I love this song because your voice is damn sexy" moment or likes any particular songs for the same reason :)  

A single girls guide to LIVE NRL games

I went to my first ever LIVE NRL game today. For me this is something very unheard of.  I went in knowing nothing other then that Nate Myles would be playing.  Of course, first I had to do my google research to know exactly who Nate Myles was. LOL Best i could gather, was that he is NRL's version of crickets Shane Watson. :) Turns out the game was Rabbitohs VS Titans.   The only other football game I have bothered to watch in my life time was the State of Origin about two weeks ago!  Here are a few pointers I learnt from my surprisingly not entirely disappointing experience.

1. Find the most perve appropriate seating in the general admission area. Cuz when the game gets boring you're ganna need something to look at. :)

2. Be prepared no matter where you sit to have someone squat directly in front of you, with no regard to your personal space or whether or not you can see the field over their head.

3. Bring your own food and drinks unless you can justify spending $4 on a bottle of water.

4. Pack extra excitement for when no one else is showing any enthusiasm. You may need to cheer for the entire crowd.  This would appear to be the case during pre-games of higher profile games.

5. Sit next to supporters of the same team. This saves you from wasting time actually having to learn any rules and you don't have to listen to that drunk guy holding a flag screaming out encouragement to the team you are betting on to lose.

6. Bring sunnies. This is a win win step. It protects your eyes from the glare and hides the direction of your eyes.  It may appear to everyone you are watching the game, but you really just noticed that guy in front with the sexy tattoos :)

7. Prep yourself with soft ass padding to prevent your butt from falling asleep. Surprisingly grassy hills are not as comfortable as they look. 

8. Arrive early. Unless you wanna have to sit on someone's lap, arrive well prior to the game to ensure a decent seat.

9. Bring sunscreen. No matter how you look at it, a burnt sunglasses mark just isn't sexy. 

10. By time the game is finished, your hands have a mind of there own and you find yourself clapping and cheering at the top of your lungs rooting for your chosen team and joining in on that mexican wave that goes around the entire footy field.  Surprisingly men tackling each other over a ball is actually very entertaining :)

So whilst I initially had low hopes of enjoying the experience as I desperately wished that it was an Australian cricket match I was spending my day on, I actually had a fantastic time despite my resulted sunburn and sore ass!  Of course, I'm still keen for the day I get myself to a LIVE Cricket match, but I wouldn't entirely hate to experience a LIVE footy game again.  Granted next time i'll be packing my cushy seating and sunscreen lotion.

10 Signs you are not over your ex

To everyone who has ever been heartbroken, it is a disappointment to know that there is no set time frame for when you no longer suffer these signs that are to follow. The fact of the matter is, love hurts.  When it comes to failed relationships there is no such thing as simple fixes to mend a broken heart. Many suppress the initial hurt to protect themselves from feeling the excruciation.  But when all inevitably slows down, there’s nowhere to hide.  Here are 10 signs that you are not over your ex.  There is no shame in this.  Hang in there.  Don’t let yourself give up on finding your smile again.

1. Everything still reminds you of them. 
You cannot get through a day without seeing, hearing, eating or smelling something that reminds you of that special dish your ex cooked, songs that you both listened to or sang, a scent they wore or places you went together. If you feel the need to change the radio station when particular songs come on or you avoid places that were regular hangouts for you, this is a real indication that you have not let go of your ex.

2. You think you see them everywhere.
No matter where you are or what you are doing you catch a glimpse of a reflective shirt, certain type of vehicle, or particular body build and all of a sudden you feel your heart pick up  pace and you feel weak in the knees. Then you realise… it’s not them at all. You feel relieved and disappointed in equal measure.

3. You don’t notice other people’s interest in you.
Someone new is trying to get close to you and you don’t even notice. All you can think about is your past. Your future feels like a black hole without your ex and blindly you shut out opportunities that are right in front of you.

4. You compare everyone to them.
You cannot meet someone of the opposite sex without comparing them to your ex. You spend more time picking out or noticing the similarities they have to your ex instead of noticing their individuality. No-one will ever be good enough if you measure them up against someone else.  Everyone deserves better then that.

5. You constantly cyber stalk them.
You have deleted them from Facebook for your own emotional stability, but that doesn’t stop you from checking their wall... even if it’s just to see their picture for the millionth time, because you can no longer access anything else.

6. You can’t part with gifts they gave you.
You find yourself holding on to the mementos from your relationship. You are just not ready to throw away the memories. Keeping these tokens keeps you connected to the person you have lost.

7. You fantasize about being reunited. 
You find yourself fantasizing about ways your ex would come back into your life to reunite what you had. Ways they would express their undying love for you and want to start all over again and spend the rest of their lives with you…..

8. You are still trying to figure out what went wrong. 
You still play over every conversation, action or hiccup that went down in your relationship, trying to find signs of where it went wrong and what you could have done to make your ex want to stay with you. Wondering if there was something you could have said to have guaranteed your connections survival, preventing you from this ultimate demise.

9. They still come up in most conversations. 
You cannot help but talk about them. “He/she used to do this”, “He/she would have loved this.” You speak of them as if they are still the most important person in your world.

10. You become the Green Eyed Monster. 
The thought of your ex meeting someone else breaks your heart and you harbour jealousy of all those people that still get to be in his/her life.

Musical Guilty Pleasures

There is no secret that we all have musical guilty pleasures hidden within ourselves, only to be shared behind closed doors or wound up windows of our vehicles, hoping that no-one is reading the words on our lips as we pelt out the lines of the chorus. After watching the Glee episode "Guilty Pleasures" it made me realize that I am a big culprit of musical guilty pleasures being as I loved every song performed in the episode! I am curious to know, what are everyone else's musical guilty pleasures?  Those songs or bands that you are ashamed to admit you LOVE!  I'll share mine if you share yours :)  The following 5 tracks can be found on my iPod, bringing on a quick change of the tune when someone else accompanies me in the car before they can detect it's a song ancient enough to be recorded off an old record.  However they get cranking when I'm on my own.

1.    Jimmy Soul - If you wanna be happy - 1963

2. The Chordettes - Lollipop - 1958

3. The Kingsmen - Louie Louie - 1963

 4. Buddy Holly - Everyday - 1957

 5. The Everly Brothers - All I Have to do is Dream - 1958

So once you all pick yourselves up off the floor from that laughter caused by my personal musical guilty pleasures, please share any of your own.  If you dare :)  

Is it wise to stay friends after a break-up?

Whether a break-up is messy or not remaining friends after a failed relationship is hard.  Some may even deem the idea un-realistic.  It is easy to turn a friendship into love, but harder if not impossible to remain friends after a  relationship has come to an end.  Here are a few reasons that staying friends with an ex is nothing more than a bad idea.

Residual feelings – There are still residual feelings that prevent you from moving on as you should.  As long as you are interacting with your ex, you will hold on to these feelings and be preventing yourself from letting go and starting fresh.  A broken relationship is much like grieving; you have to let yourself go through the process or you will never come to terms with the loss. 

“It’s just sex” – Break up sex is practically unavoidable when two people remain friends after a relationship.  If you are both of a active healthy sexual appetite it will be hard for you to avoid your sexual urges.  And although the dumpee tells themselves that it’s just body parts, on a microscopic level, they are keeping the bond alive even if they do not want to admit it.  Being so close to your ex keeps the relationship alive.

You will not find mr/mrs right – In the end, all you are doing is opening yourself up to more pain and prolonging the hurt that comes with an ended relationship. There is a reason that you are no longer together.  Acceptance is the only way to put it in the past and having that constant reminder in your life of a failed love is damaging.  You will need that distance to find the right person for you.

Wishful thinking – If you were the dumpee you will always hold hope that your ex will change their mind about how they feel about your relationship.  The dumper is the one who initiates the “let’s be friends” idea, but will always keep the dumpee in the past.  Don’t waste time on someone who failed to see your potential and worth.   

I cannot tell you what is best for you or what you need during such a painful time.  And I am the first to admit how hard this advice is to follow.  But deep down I know it is best for me.  It just takes time to be open to letting go.  I can however tell you that I have wasted many years trying to prove to myself that keeping an ex in my life was possible.  Experience has proved me wrong.  Even if you can find that medium, once either of you find someone else the friendship becomes void.   So much time and effort wasted for something that can’t possibly last.

I will leave you with the words of Carrie Bradshaw: “The most important break-up rule.  No matter who broke your heart or how long it takes to heal, you’ll never get through it without your friends.”  Take as much time as you need to say goodbye to your past and greet your future with an enthusiastic hello.

Things to consider before entering a long distance relationship

Long Distance Relationships are not impossible but you have to be realistic and understand that they are a lot of hard work.  You need to both be willing to make the effort to keep the connection alive otherwise you will end up feeling that you are living separate lives, instead of the one you should be living together.  Here are a few things to consider before going down that road.

Are you a jealous person?  If you are the jealous type this may pose a problem.  The distance between you and your existing or potential partner means you can never be 100% sure of what they are doing or who they are with.  It all comes down to trust and if you know you are the jealous type then you may not be able to handle the paranoia that comes with a long distances relationships dooming separation.

Is the distance between you going to be on-going? You have to ask if the distance is for a short term or a long term.  If your partner is only going away for a certain amount of time to achieve a goal then this is one thing, but if it is a suspected lifestyle choice this is something you have to consider if you could live with.  If your relationship is all about phone calls, text messages, Skype, emails and Facebook instead of physical contact, is that something you really want for yourself or could handle for the long term? 

Savings and travel?  Ask yourself how much money you have and if your savings can withstand all these visits back and forth just to be able to see each other.  You cannot expect one person to be doing all the travelling.  You need to make the effort to fill in the distance between you, in order to keep the relationship alive. 

How busy are you? If you do not have much going on in your life besides your relationship with said person, this may not be a sensible option for you.  If you are busy in your everyday life and have hobbies to keep you occupied and prevent you from dwelling on the loneliness then a Long Distance Relationship will be easier for you to withstand.

Do you want the same things?  If you are going to take a chance on trusting someone with your heart, whether Long Distance or otherwise, it is important to know if you want the same things.  If compromising is on the horizon of major desires for life it is important you know about them before making this decision.  If you are fighting for different things or having to sacrifice what you want for your future just to be together, you have to ask yourself if this is worth it?

At the end of the day, you know what you can handle as a person.  If you are strong enough to handle all that comes with your partner being somewhere other than where you are, then there is no reason you shouldn’t give it a shot, particularly if your feelings for that person are worth pursuing or continuing.  Unfortunately whether there’s a million miles in between you and your partner or you live under the same roof, there are no guarantees when it comes to relationships.  It all comes down to taking a leap of faith and trusting that your feelings are matched by your partner and that you are compatible enough to last the distance.
