Celebrity Profile: Ricky Dillon

   Name: Ricky Dillon
   Age: 22
   Birthday: April 4, 1992
   Birth Place: North Carolina
  

    About:
   Ricky Dillon is a YouTuber who started out in 2010 doing videos with Shelby on his channel he had at the time. He now does weekly videos for a colab group called Our2ndLife with other YouTubers Kian Lawley, Sam Pottorff, Trevor Moran, and Jc Caylen.
  Ricky Dillon is a big family person. He has included his parents in a number of his videos. Ricky is always very active with his fans, meeting and interacting with them as much as possible. He also has a number of cover songs available on iTunes along with his original song Ordinary. He takes vocal lessons and I imagine we can expect a new cover and/or original song by Ricky Dillon in the near future.
  

   Personal Opinion: 
   I really enjoy watching Ricky's videos. I found out about him when I started watching his fellow YouTuber and friend Jc Caylen. Ricky seems like the sweetest person and can always make me laugh. I relate to a lot of what he says and he is incredibly funny.  I couldn't imagine not being able to watch his videos. My goal is to go to an event of some sort that him and the other o2l boys go to. I would love to meet him. He always seems to put other before himself and his down to earth, sweet personality always shows in his videos. Ricky Dillon is really something special.

Friday Playlist: Independence Day by 5 Seconds Of Summer

   
     Hey guys! I know it's not Friday, but I figured since I was gone Friday and didn't get the chance to put one up I would just do it today. :) This weeks song is Independence Day by 5 Seconds Of Summer! I love this song so much! I actually heard it for the first time after I bought their new album from Target. I for sure urge all of you to go out and buy their new CD, its amazing! Every last song. These guys are a talented bunch of Aussies! This song actually has a lot of meaning to me. I know its a breakup song but I take it a little different. I relate to it because this is kinda how things have been with my friend. It kinda gave me the courage to take a step back from my best friend who wasn't really being a best friend anymore. It was like a little confidence boost. I was done being dragged around. I was done putting up with hurt just so I could keep a friend. It's time to let go. It's time to live my life for me. It's my Independence Day! :) And it sure feels good. Nothing better than a good song to help you through those moments in life when you're confused or hurt.
   So I hope you like this weeks Playlist song! The link to listen to the song is below, just click it to watch. Plus Ive included the lyrics themselves right under the link! :)

Ooooh Ooooh
You're telling the same old story
And that I need to change
If you're not living my life for me
You make it feel that way
You know you know
We're losing control
I gotta pick way
And nothing's gonna change
You've got to go
It's the end of the road
No matter what you do or say

Baby you're not what I need
I'm over this
I'm over you
I'm not gonna waste my life away
This is my independence day
I'm moving on there's no excuse
And I can't take away your pain
This is my independence day (x2)

Suddenly my picture is looking perfect
Since you're not in the frame
And deep down I never meant to hurt you
But you're the one to blame
You know you know
We're losing control
Before it's too late I'm making my escape
Now that I'm gone you're on your own
No matter what you do or say

Baby you're not what I need
I'm over this
I'm over you
I'm not gonna waste my life away
This is my independence day
I'm moving on there's no excuse
And I can't take away your pain
This is my independence day

Wouldn't it be nice
If it could've worked out right for us
I know you fight for all we had
But it didn't feel right
Heart down our sleeves
We lost tonight
And there's no looking back

I'm over this
I'm over you
I'm not gonna waste my life away
This is my independence day
I'm moving on there's no excuse
And I can't take away your pain
This is my independence day

Wouldn't it be nice
If it would've worked out right for us
There's no looking back
This is my independence day (x2)

Starting Fresh

    Hey guys! So today I just wanted to talk to you guys about a couple things. First one being I'm sorry I don't put up new things every week, but I just get so busy(and honestly lazy) to sit down and write something. I hope you guys will forgive me. I really want to get back to blogging every week. And that's another thing I wanted to talk to you guys about: I think I'm going to start doing more than just reviews. I believe I will keep the site name the same and everything, but I want to start just doing blog post so you guys can get to know me a little more and so I can get to know you guys! :) I'll also just be putting up some of my poems and just little things I write. So I hope you guys are okay with that :)
  And the last thing I wanted to talk to you guys about was my YouTube videos. Ive recently started getting into singing and I put up a couple covers on YouTube already. So just go look me up as Darcy Quinn if you want to take a listen. Leave me comments and let me know what you think! I would LOVE feedback from you lovely people! 
  So I guess that all I have for today! I hope to be back soon! :) 


P.S. I'm trying to come up with a cool outro for all my post and videos, so leave me some ideas below! :)
