I'm In Love...Again aka Canada Blog Part 2

Well, add one more to my list of "Girl's I'm In Love With For Stupid Reasons". Carly Rae Jepsen has stolen my heart. Why? Because she just released the CATCHIEST song I've ever heard in my life and she sounds ADORABLE singing it. Seriously, my legs turn to jello every time she sings the words "call me maybe." Like this:

Yes, my legs literally turn into a sealed box of sugar-free cherry jello. This song and her delivery are stinkin' adorable. It's also potentially the least masculine song ever written, but I really don't care. "Shame" isn't something I have a lot of, if I even have any. Here's the song.

As if the song isn't fruity enough, the music video really doesn't help. I think it took that guy a solid 90 seconds to finally get his shirt off. At least I know she likes guys with tattoos! #hopelessoptimist. But seriously, how catchy is this song?! Doesn't it make you want to get up and dance until you pass out and fall in love with a stranger and all that other fun Disney-esque stuff? It does for me. Shoot whattttttt. 

But here's the REAL issue. As I mentioned in my first blog ever, "Oh Canada", I've spent most of my life making fun of Canada for really no reason except that it's LIKE America, but NOT America. Then, I went to Toronto last year to play bass for Paul Davidson at Canadian Music Week and had the time of my life! (Check out his tunes here. I played bass on these tracks. NBD. *brushes dirt off shoulders*)  Canada was awesome. Then, I watched the Bieber movie. LOVED IT. Now, Canada is dropping this little fireball of a song on me and I just can't help but love the Great White North! Listen here, Canada, if you're trying to seduce me, it is working, and it's working REAL good. I'm about to buy an igloo and a polar bear and start a new life in Canadia! Seriously, it's tempting.

P.S. To everyone saying "How old is this girl Dean? YA PERV!", she's 26. BOOYAH right in front of your mom!!! #KevinHartQuote She's a year older than me. Eat it. Now...HIT ME WITH A POLAR BEAR!!

I didn't literally mean "eat it" silly bear.

Oh canada

OHHHHHH CANADAAAAA.... ok that's all I know of their national anthem, and to be honest, that's probably all I'll know until I die. It's not very catchy and in the 3 days I've been here no one as has asked me to sing it for them. But anyway, I'm in Canada. It's crazy. I assumed the Great White North would just be a lesser, more sucky version of the states with a lot of pale blonde people oot and aboot (nice). Some of that is accurate, but Toronto is quite possibly the coolest city I've ever been in, and this is coming from a guy who grew up within 2 hours of NYC and Boston Boston and NYC (better). It has the most open-minded music scene ever and it creates the coolest community of musicians I've ever seen.

 I got to eat with the President of Sennheiser Canada, an independent Marketer for Sennheiser who's also written 3 books (about as many as I've read in my life) and a Producer who told us his favorite artists to work with were David Bowie and Celine Dion. Pretty unreal. Also, when I looked at the prices on the menu I almost had a heart attack until I realized they were treating us. Absolutely insane. But not only were these big, important people, but they were just awesome, fun people to hang out with, despite their titles and accolades. Also, Jean, the President of Sennheiser, reminds me of Gerard Butler. Not sure why. Might be the accent? But in short, Canada has been great. Paul Davidson will be playing a stripped solo show tonight and all these big people I mentioned in this blog will probably be sitting with me while we watch him. Amazing. I feel insanely blessed that music has gotten me here and brought me to this place in my life. I might be a little behind on the typical American dream of the wife, 2.5 kids, and house with a white picket fence, but man, my life is cool, and my passion and talent with music has gotten me opportunities I never would have had otherwise. God is good, and beyond good to me. I could not ask for more...

"I COULD NOT ASK FOR MORE THAN THIS TIME TOGETHER, COULD NOT ASK FOR MORE THAN THIS TIME WITH YOU!!!"

Ok shut up Edwin McCain. This trip has been amazing, my life is awesome, and Canada doesn't suck, not matter what South Park says.
