Jukebox XIII

So, April is an exciting time of year. Baseball is just getting under way (which means it is going to be more and more difficult to find free evenings with the Dodgers season starting). The time change is becoming more and more evident. The NBA playoffs are getting close (I am bored with the regular season, no wonder the Lakers look bored). Summer is getting close, which means that I need to get back out and run a lot more....

So here is my first Jukebox for the Spring of '10.

1. What'cha Say Jason Derulo

I don't have a good reason for liking this song. It is the third verse that gets me every time. Side note...when I found out that Kara DioGuardi from American Idol discovered Jason, and that she is a VP at Warner Bros records (or something like that) it made me want to hear her critiques more.

2. Bedrock Young Money

I love this line..."I love your sushi rolls hotter then wasabi, I race for your love shake-n-bake, Ricky Bobby". I am becoming a fan of Drake...

3. The Man I Want to Be Chris Young

I am constantly trying to become the man that I want to be. I love this song...Chris is one of my favorites.

4. The Truth Jason Aldean

I was hooked on Jason with songs like Johnny Cash, Laugh Until We Cried, Why, She's Country, Amarillo Sky...but this song is legit. Jason is really good. We considered paying $1,000 to go to Stagecoach in Indio this month just to see him...cause there really isn't anyone else in the lineup we want to see (besides Sugarland).

Sidenote...we were driving and Kenny Chesney came on the radio, Mac said, "I like Kenny Chesney, but my favorite is Jason Aldean". I had mixed feelings. I want her to like Kenny (which she assured me that she does), but I was also happy that she made her own decision.

5. Imma Be Blackeyed Peas

The Blackeyed Peas are weird and I completely DIG that. Fergie saying, "Imma be shakin my hips, your gonna be lickin your lips"...awesome.

6. Clothes Off Gym Class Heroes

So, this song is just fun. Every time I hear the line, "Oh I'm sorry, my name is Travee and I'm pretty much a big deal. Oh, you've never heard of me, that sounds absurd to me" it reminds me of Hanssie.

7. The Only Difference Between Marytrdom and Suicide is Press Coverage Panic! at the Disco

We were at some friends house for New Year's a few years ago and Panic! performed at one of the New Year's shows and I was completely unimpressed. They cross dress, they wear makeup...they are absolutely insane (you know Lady Gaga meets Keisha meets Queen). Having said that...their music is hypnotic...their music has a good groove to it. I don't know the genre of their music, I just know that when I am running...the time flies by when I am listening to their CD.

8. Empire State of Mind Jay-Z feat. Alicia Keys

My favorite song. I could listen to this song over and over again. I can hear this song played at the end of every New York sporting event for the next 20 years...this some is timeless and epic. Jay-Z's performance at the Grammy's was amazing. Blueprint 3 is great! He is the new Sinatra!

"I made the Yankee hat more famous than a Yankee can"

"Sitting court side Knicks and Nets give me high five"

"If Jeezy's payin LeBron, I'm payin Dwyane Wade"

Classic!! We need a new California anthem...now!!!

What's coming this week...

1.) What's wrong with basketball?
2.) Why NOW is the best time to buy a house?
3.) A big change in my life!!!!

As of today 3/1/10...there are 598 homes on the market in Corona.

Short Sale - 313 (52.3%)
Standard - 158 (26.4%)
Unknown - 69 (11.5%)
REO - 58 (9.7%)

We have a new category. The unknown category. This is due to the fact that some Realtors do not input the homes correctly into the MLS; therefore, the correct category is unknown. In fact these homes (which total more than all of the REOs on the market in Corona) could be in any of the four categories listed above.
