I’m Gonna Call Him My Best Friend

Please press play: 

Below is the blurriest photo imaginable. But there is no denying that Childish Gambino has been around someone from my family, THEREFORE he has almost met me.  Also, please pay the specialest (new word I’m testing out) attention to the shadowy indentation in his chest… *single blink*  The Young family genetics have swirled around his world, so guys come on, he and I are basically best friends. It’s time to put us both out of our miseries and just get us to meet on SATURDAY, MARCH 24th.

I’ve been emailing CG’s press agent, the lovely Daniel Weiner (dweiner@bwr-la.com) with my posts. Still no bites but I shall continue on this quest.  The organizations I’ve researched have told me that Childish Gambino does not have any official affiliation with them.  Now I’m asking his “people” for the opportunity to do either or both of these things:

1) Ask Mr. Glover three questions that I can post. I think this would be a great conclusion to this entire campaign.

2) Ask him to sign 3 of his albums (which I already have) to auction from my blog with 100% of the proceeds going to a Toronto organization that helps kids pursue their love of the arts.

Whether I’m able to get my three albums signed at the show or if they can provide them to me – at this point, either would be great but that’s the plan.  So, if you wanna help a girl out (I’m begging you!!!) – please email Daniel Weiner at dweiner@bwr-la.com and let him know that this Toronto thang needs to happen.

I watch this once a day because it’s perfect.  Happy Monday, folks!

I’m Going Radio Ga Ga!

Dear G98.7,

I have not listened to the radio in almost a decade until a month ago. I finally drank the G98.7 kool-aid and it was delicious. Mmmm-MMMM! HOWEVER, I’ve noticed I have not heard Childish Gambino’s latest single “Heartbeat” in rotation and it hurts my still-beating heart. CG is performing March 24th in Toronto and you best believe I have tickets. But until then, can you make this grown-ass woman’s little girl’s dream come true and play this song for me, Mr. DJ?  I’m not one to be dramatic *single blink* but it’s my only Christmahanukwanzaa wish to get this song on your station. (Yes, that is a cartoon image of myself and Childish Gambino in my blog’s banner – this is not a game. This is real life!)

"My heart going boom, boom, boom"

Blinking toward hope tomorrow,

Arianne

MY FRIENDS - please tweet @G987FM and request “Heartbeat!!!” Do they even take requests? I don’t know what the rules are so I’m gonna make up my own. This would just put it over the motha-effin’ top if Childish Gambino was playing on l’airwaves of my favourite station. Also, listen to this station REGARDLESS because you’ll be jamming morning, noon and night.

Thanks for all your help with my posts, everyone. This has been so much fun and your messages to me have made me laugh like you would not believe. Please like my NEW Single Blink Facebook Page here!

The campaign continues… Will I meet him? Has anyone contacted me regarding my interests? FIND OUT NEXT WEEK!

Yeah, you can. Yeah, I did.

Heartbeat, My Heartbeat

Dear Loved Ones,

WHAT THE BUMBACLOT IS HAPPENING IN THIS VIDEO?!  EVERYTHING IS WHAT! It begins with Adele “Hometown Glory” Realness, then he drops a beat, we have a “Drive” vibe throughout. Snacks! Makeouts!  The chick is BODACIOUS, the car is rad and I believe I’ve narrowed down the meaning of this video.

Here’s my take on the hotness:

Basically the car represents their relationship, as the driver he thinks he’s in control. He’s going to pick her up (she’s probs using him for the ride). They share some good times (snacks) and eventually decide to bridge the gap between whatever “it” is. The backseat represents insecurity – they turn to each other because of it. BLOGGERS NOTE: Why the hell she stopped making out with Donald Glover is beyond me, but b!tch be crazy (I know it’s scripted…leave me be)!!!  *single blink*

In Napoleon Dynamite's voice, all I can say is "Lucky..."

She exits the backseat after getting what she came for, leaving him in the land of insecurity. Now she’s in the driver’s seat, literally and figuratively. He’s left to deal with his own thoughts, the knowledge that she won’t ever really be with him. Point is, it’s a game we all play taking/relinquishing control of certain situations with certain people to match our needs and desires of the moment. I’ve done it. He’s definitely, DEFINITELY done it. Hot damn, I’m about to watch him do it again… And when all is said and done, we’ll most likely repeat the same gloriously, fulfilling sexual encounter mistake over and over again.  I have no idea if any of this is true or not but I’d like to believe Childish would leave this one open for interpretation.

WITHOUT GOOGLING, let me know what you get from the video.

Yours Truly,

S.B.
