Confession:  I’m addicted to MTV (and also Music Choice on Demand, but that’s another thing).

Why:  I was once a contestant on Say What? Karaoke and subsequently have a love for the network like no other.

I lost to Tiki Barber. He was terrible.  But, he’s Tiki Barber…And, I’m obviously not Tiki Barber.  I lost and he won – And I’m still mad.  I don’t even know why he was allowed on my episode anyway.  It wasn’t celebrity Say What? Karaoke!

Shit.  I want a rematch.

Anyway, my parents have that video.  If I still had it I would upload it here because I am 99% positive my make-up was…Interesting.  My outfit was also interesting and I still own part of it (I keep it for the memories…And maybe a costume someday).

That was almost 10 years ago.  I don’t even think I was 18.  I’m pretty certain that I even lied about my age so I wouldn’t have to seem lame and bring a parent with me to the studio.  I also used an alias…(So I wouldn’t get caught lying about my age).

That appearance would mark the beginning of many MTV events I would attend over the next 2 years.  They were lots of fun – Especially New Years Eve.  I rang in the millennium laughing and pointing at all the suckers freezing their asses off in Times Square, while confetti streamed by and Sisqo hugged me, like, 20 times.  Seriously.  He did.  It was really intense.  You remember Sisqo, right?  The ‘thong song’ guy.  I wonder what ever happened to him?  I also wonder if Dru Hill will ever re-unite.  I LOVED him in his Dru Hill days.

Now that I’ve shared this, maybe you understand why I felt so sad this weekend when I heard that TRL was ending. I totally remember seeing the Backstreet Boys there when I was 16.  And then there was the time I accidentally ate R.E.M’s food in the greenroom when I was there for something else (They were doing TRL).  My consumption of their food was a misunderstanding. I swear.  Side note: Their rider was DOPE.  I remember eating the best fruit of my life that day that I accidentally ate their food.  The food that a P.A. took away immediately after yelling “EXCUSE ME – THAT FOOD WAS FOR R.E.M!”

Oops.  He took EVERYTHING away too…Even the things I hadn’t touched. It made me feel like such a leper. Reflecting on it…That food was delicious and I’m really not sorry for eating it.  And, something tells me that Michael Stipe wouldn’t have minded.

But, I’m straying…

Tonight, I caught the TRL finale.  Beyonce opened with a medley and she was so fierce and I was feeling it so hard, that I sort of found myself dancing around my living room.

I THINK I spied eye gloss.  I was so in the moment though, and DYING over her awesomness that I couldn’t really confirm.  But, I’m almost positive there was an eye gloss situation going on.  You should also know that this makes me super happy since I just used eye gloss at a shoot last week.

You can get eye gloss here.  And you can also watch her performance below:
