Third time in one year

Hey my lovely Chameleons. In today's blog I am going to tell you about seeing Ezra Jordan on Friday November 22nd. As you Chameleons know, cause of this I didn't go to Writers From The Block the day before. Squid was also busy too.

Here is the whole story; In mid October (Forget what date) I saw that Ezra Jordan posted up an InstaStory. I viewed it and saw that he was playing a show near me on November 22nd. I raced to my calendar to see what I was doing. Turns out I was working. I told Jackie that Ezra was playing a show near me and I am seeing if anyone wants to go with me. She wrote it down in her calendar. So I would be going regardlessly. I asked Allie and she accepted. Long story short, we where planning since the beginning of November. Plus I got the day off. The funny thing is last time I asked for a day off was when I went to go see Ezra back in March lol. Anyway, lets get back to the story.

On November 22nd Allie and I met up at Tim Horton's that was around the corner at 6:30 for dinner. After dinner we went to the show. We went in and got a wristband. We walked around and grabbed a seat. I ended up looking to see if they had any alcohol drinks. They didn't. I went back to Allie and took her that we are out of luck. The music was loud and I thought Allie was saying she had to go to the washroom and do I know where it is. Turns out she was not asking about the washroom. Right before the show started Allie went outside, I stayed in. I stood in the crowed and made sure she saw me. She did. Olivia Brown came on first. I liked her. After Olivia performed 5 songs (I think) we went back to our seats during intermission and were talking and laughing about the pass and I was telling her about Writers From The Block and all the other concerts I went to. The host, Luckystickz was announcing Ezra Jordan. Allie & I got up and stood in the exact same place. I kinda went closer to the stage and left Allie just to get good pictures. I had my phone out, on camera, and holding it like I was taking a video, but I was not recording. Then they women sees me and tells me "If I want to record I have to push the red button." I say Thank you and that I am not recording, just waiting for the right moment to take a picture. After I got good pictures I didn't look like I was standing like an idiot pretending to record lol. When Ezra sang his last song, which was a cover called Mama, You Were On My Mind by Bob Dylan I went to Allie and said "This one is going to hurt me." My moma is always on my mind. Hey I have to think her for giving me a the best November ever. Back to the story. I loved Ezra's performance. After he performed we were on intermission again. Allie wanted to go outside and this time I joined her. We go back in after 2 minutes and I see Ezra. All I say to Allie is "I'll be back" she asked if I had to go to the washroom. I say no and ask if she wants to come. All she says is "Sure". We walk and all I say is "Hi Ezra". He looks at me and says "Hi Milly" and have a hug. Then he introduces himself to Alexis (Allie) and she does the same to him. She also told him that I keep telling her about him. After we all talked for about 2 minutes he finished packing up. He left and I looked at Allie and just say "Now I want a drink" I go up to the cafe bar and asked for some juice.

When intermission was over Heather Russell played. Allie ended up talking to her without knowing she was one of the performers. Allie wanted to sit, so I just stood in the crowd, got a better view and took pictures. After Heather performed I joined Allie outside and the owner of Soul House Live (found this out after) asked us for a smoke. We both said no. And he just turned to his partner and said to her "It's all up to you boo". We go back in and just laugh. Tyshan was the last performer. He even had the shortest set. He was really good. He even did a cover of So Sick by Neyo very good, witch I thought he was the original person.

The show ended, Allie & I took a picture together (see on my Instagram), and then we went to the bar to wait for the bus. When we got to my house we took my dogs out and watched Disney+ till 1:30am.

The whole night was very fun.

Disney Plus :)

Hey my lovely Chameleons. In today's blog it's another replacement blog from Writers From The Block on November 21. I didn't go to Writers From The Block causeI was seeing Ezra Jordan the next day and I would be rushed on Friday morning. Also Squid was busy too. The next Writers From The Block that I will be going to is on my birthday, December 5th. In today's replacement blog I am telling yo Chameleons about Disney+ cause I don't want to talk about the concert on November 22nd yet. I want to wait longer than a week to say everything. Anyway, enough of me talking about why I don't want to talk about the Ezra Jordan Concert and waiting long than a week, lets talk about Disney Plus.

Disney Plus is a new streaming service from Disney and it's $8.99 a week or $89.99 a year. They have every Disney show from 2000-2016 and then some. Along with every 100+ DCOM (Disney Channel Original Movie) on Disney Plus. Plus they even have all the Disney Animation and Disney Animation to Live-Action. Even some original shows to. Like; High School Musical: The Series, The Lizzie McGuire Reboot (Coming soon), & The Love Simon: The Series (Coming soon). You can watch Disney Plus on:
- Amazon Fire TV & Fire Tablet
- Android Smartphones & Tablets
- Android TV
- Apple TV
- Desktop web browsers (Edge, Chrome, Firefox, Safari)
- Google Chrome
- iPad
- iPhone
- LG Smart TV
- PlayStation 4
- Roku Streaming Devices & Roku TV
- Samsung Smart TV
- Sony Smart TV with Android TV
- Xbox One
By March 31, 2020 Disney+ will be expanded to UK, Germany, France, Italy, Spain, and more places around the world.

Each profile supports up to seven (7) individual profiles... Well, kind of. There is a separate account for kids. That does not mean that kids can switch over to the other Disney Plus for a more experience. Disney Plus does not require a pin protection or ways of keeping the kids locked in their Disney Plus zone.

How I heard about Disney Plus is earlier in the year when I heard about the awful news (sorry, hate remakes over here) about Love Simon being made into a TV Series. Like I said it was stupid and I didn't want any part of this. After I hard that Nick Robinson (Original Simon) was going to be on the crew team I was just like "I guess I will see what this is about." Then I heard about the Lizzie McGuire Reboot. I was like "Sign me up!". On November 12 one of my best friends messages me saying that Disney Plus launches today. We were both figuring out how to get it. I am obsessed with Disney Plus. I always have it on and when I shut my TV off I don't change my TV back to regular TV first. After Allie & I came to my house after the concert on Friday, we literally watched Lizzie McGuire & That's So Raven only.

Greyson Chance Round 2

Hey my lovely Chameleons. I didn't go to Writers From The Block on November 7th, so this is a replacement blog for Writers From The Block 17. As you Chameleons know, I went to go see Greyson Chance again this year. Here is the story on how I ended going to Greyson Chance, joking about going to Writers From The Block, and renaming this day 'Sacrifice Day".

Back in the start of June I was on Instagram and I saw that Greyson posted a photo announcing his Portraits World Tour, with the dates. Me being me, I wanted to see if he was playing in Toronto again. He was. November 7th. I was joking with myself on what happens if November 7th was the first Thursday of the month, who should I do? Go to Writers From The Block or Greyson Chance? I decided to check on my phone on the calendar to see when November 7th actually was. To my surprise November 7th was the first first Thursday of the month. Since with that news I was deciding what I wanted to do. I asked my friends and they all said Greyson Chance. The funny one is I asked my friend, Allie and she said Greyson Chance. Then I asked her if she wanted to come with me and she replies with "I don't know who that guy is." Ok, so you don't know who this guy is and yet you are saying for me to go see him lol. The other friend, Megan said "Go with Greyson Chance. Or you'll be sad." On June 13th when I was in the airport right before entering the plane to go to B.C I messaged Jackie saying that I was leaning more on going to see Greyson Chance on November 7th at the MOD Club instead of going to Writers From The Block. She messages back saying "I knew you were leaning towards that." It wasn't until July 2nd when I bought my tickets. That is how I renamed the day 'Sacrifice Day' lol. Between July 18-October 17th I decided not to say anything to Writers From The Block. Squid even showed me how close the MOD Club is to The B-side Lounge. A block and a half. On October 17th I was telling Grace Bakker my joke and she loved that and then I told Squid that I made Grace laugh with my joke about sending me back to Greyson if I show up here on November 7th. He was smiling cause I thought it was cause Noa was behind me. On October 27th I was on Instagram and saw that The Chase had a Q & A on there InstaStory and someone asked what there next show. They answered with "November 7th at the B-Side Lounge". I messaged on the InstaStory telling them I am not going and explaining why and I can see if I can run over. They reply saying "Hope to see you there" that is when I decided to put $10 a side.

Now, finally we are on the actual day. I go to my bus stop near my house and realize that I left without my phone charger. While messaging Cindy I told her about my phone charger. She suggested for me to buy one just for Squid & Ink's place. I stopped at the Dollarama and got a phone charger for my phone and then continued on my way to the Go Bus. I get to there place and plugged my phone in. I didn't know that the other end was an USB-C end. I had no way to charge my phone. I just left it off for the night. Without a phone I couldn't go say hi at Writers From The Block. When Squid & I got to the MOD Club we got out of the car and walked to the end of the line at SleepCountry (Next door to the MOD Club). We didn't get in till 8:30. We checked out coats and my bag, get our tickets scanned, and went in. I made my way to the front of the stage & just stayed there. Good thing I did, cause when the show started everybody was everywhere. I couldn't even gp. Good thing I got my same spot after I bought my pop.

I'm sorry to say, but there is not much to tell. The show was as fun as when I went to see him back in March at The Drake's Hotel. He did ask us who was at his show in March. Me and a tone of people put up there hands. There was new people too. In the middle of the show he ended up bringing 2 girls up on stage who went to his Meet & Greet in March and told us the story that they wanted him to draw something. The girls got the drawing tattooed on them. Greyson showed the tattoo to the audience. Then said "No more tattoos" lol. I made my way just an inch closer to the stage. At one point he started to play a bit of Paparazzi from Lady Gaga, that made him famous and appear on the Ellen show for the first time at only 12 years old back in 2011. He played songs from his Portraits CD, Good As Gold, Low, and Back On The Wall. He even played his new song, Boots that came out the next day.

Squid and I came home, my phone was still off. I didn't turn it on till the next day. I brought my iPod to take pictures. Later when we were home I was messaging The Chase & Valerie saying that I had phone issues and that is why I did not come by to say hi.

I am very glad I got to start off my November with one of my all time first singers. It only gets better from here. Next concert is Ezra Jordan with my childhood friend, Allie on November 22nd. Yes, the one who wanted me to go see Greyson Chance, but had no clue who he is lol. Then back to Toronto on November 27th to see Alyssa Reid with Squid. I need to finish my last month of being 26 the best way possible. What is better then going to see your main 3 favourite singers ever. Plus Writers From The Block on November 21st and on your actual birthday, on December 5th.

The Next Star: Where Are They Now?

Hey my lovely Chameleons, in today's blog, it's going to be a replacement blog since I didn't go to Writers From The Block on Halloween. I had a play on October 31st. I will be going to both Greyson Chance and Writers From The Block on November 7th. I am just going down to Writers From The Block to say hi to people. So if you see pictures from Writers From The Block next week, that is why. I planned going to just the Greyson Chance concert and that will be my replacement blog next week, but i's not really a replacement blog when I will also be at Writers From Them The Block. The funny thing about that is I told Squid that Ezra Jordan is going to be playing somewhere on Bathrus St on November 7th and Squid told me that is close to the MOD Club. I told him no or you may find me in the middle of the road in Toronto lol. Besides I am seeing Ezra near me on November 22nd. Enough gabbing about November and get this replacement blog started. 

For my replacement blog I wanted to talk about The Next Star. Recently this summer I been looking up what the people from The Next Star to see what they were up to today. Where are they now? I know I did a Top 5 Thursday on the in the middle of July, but I really wanted to do this blog. I even have more then 5 examples. For any of you Chameleons who forget what The Next Star is about here is what the the show was about. In 2008 YTV got a new show called, The Next Star. The Next Star is a Canadian competition singing show. I's like American Idol, but for kids between the ages of 5-15 all across Canada. First, they go across Canada to audition 40000 kids, 16 get a golden ticket. Then they started a wild card. What that is, is when the judges say "No" but you get a second chance to make the top 6. After they pick the top 9, and then from there a top 6. That top 6 is put through 8 weeks of Star School and the top 6 get a new look and make their very own single. Through out the entire show we got to vote for our favourite one. At the end of September at Canada's Wonderland, The Next Star has their season finally where the top 6 shows off there single and new look. Then we finally see out of the 40000 kids across Canada who is crowned the winner. The funny thing is, when the show premiered back in 2008 I told myself that I was not going to be a big fan of the show. After I heard that someone was sick and maybe be pulled out of the competition. The only thing I said was "I HOPE IT'S NOT ALYSSA!!!!" BAM! I was hooked. If Alyssa Reid was not on the show, I would of never been a huge fan of The Next Star & The Launch.

Here are some of the million people from The Next Star on what they been doing since the their season ended and what they are up to now.
