Dog-lover's Favorite 5 Songs of March 2015

Hey Hey Hey! This is dog-lover here.  I am going to deliver my favorite 5 songs of March.  Yes, it's already the end of March (wow!)  Here we go:
Note: Some might be the same as other months

5. Love Me Harder by Ariana Grande

This song may have been in previous months, I think it is a really pretty song.

4. Vance Joy- Riptide

This song has been on since I started being on the blog.

3. Andy Grammer- Honey I'm Good

This is a funny, yet catchy song, you have it stuck in your head for like 5 minutes.

2. Ella Henderson- Ghost

This has been on since I started, so I will not explain this one.

1. Ellie Goulding- Love Me Like You Do

It's a pretty song from "50 Shades of Grey."  It was on here last month.

Here you go, my favorite 5 songs of March.  Tune in the first week of April for the biggest 10 states in population or area, I'm not sure which I didn't do.  Anyway, there you have it.  I'll see you in April!

My Top 10 Favorite SpongeBob Squarepants Episodes (Part 1) (by not_luna_lovegood

First airing on May 1, 1999, SpongeBob SquarePants is by far the most popular and iconic cartoon to ever air on Nickelodeon. The show is beloved by kids and adults alike and is about SpongeBob and his friends' adventures in the fictional underwater town of Bikini Bottom. SpongeBob has spawned a large fanbase, tons of merchandise, and even two theatrically released films. In honor of the Nickelodeon Kids' Choice Awards (which will air this Saturday, March 28), I, not_luna_lovegood, will count down my top 10 favorite episodes of SpongeBob SquarePants. A few notes:
-All of these episodes are from the first 3 seasons, as I feel the show dropped in quality after these seasons.
-When I mention the episode number, that's the episode number overall, not just in the season.
-Pictures and episode information come from the SpongeBob Wikia page at:  http://spongebob.wikia.com. I also used the synopses on the site to help me come up with my own.
-This will be VERY long, as many of my posts are, so I will split this into two parts.
-Lastly, I do not own SpongeBob, Nickelodeon does. This is just a fanmade post.

10. Procrastination (season 2, episode 37a)
 Procrastination
 In this episode, SpongeBob is assigned to write an 800-word essay on what not to do at a stoplight for Mrs. Puff's boating class. After two hours, he only has ten words on his paper (What Not To Do At A Stoplight By: SpongeBob Squarepants). He pulls an all-nighter trying to finish the essay, but keeps getting distracted by silly things (such as calling his best friend, Patrick, for advice and hallucinating that his house is on fire. The episode ends with Mrs. Puff announcing that the class will just go on a field trip to a traffic light instead. This episode is in my top 10 because it's REALLY relatable to me. As a student, I've discovered that I am really, really good at procrastinating, so that's why I like it. Other than that, I like it because I just think it's a funny episode and I love the twist at the end.

9. Big Pink Loser (season 2, episode 23a)
Big Pink Loser
This episode begins with Patrick, SpongeBob's lovably stupid starfish friend, receiving a trophy. Turns out, it's actually SpongeBob's for working so hard at the Krusty Krab. Patrick is jealous and wants to earn a prize of his own, so he gets a job at the Krusty Krab. Patrick tries his hand at many jobs, failing miserably at all of them. Just when Patrick is about to quit because he thinks he's a big pink loser (hence the title), he receives an award for doing nothing longer than anyone else. This episode makes my list for having one of my favorite SpongeBob scenes ever. Patrick is given the assignment to take customers' orders at the checkout and with that, he has to answer the Krusty Krab phone. The customers begin the call, "Is this the Krusty Krab?" and then Patrick says one of his best quotes ever, "NO! THIS IS PATRICK!" At school, my friends from the Brick Wall and I quote this ALL. THE. TIME.

8. The Camping Episode (season 3, episode 57b)

The Camping Episode
This episode is about SpongeBob, Patrick, and their grumpy neighbor, Squidward, going camping in SpongeBob's front yard. They roast marshmallows (from a can) and sing not just any campfire song, but THE CAMPFIRE SONG SONG (link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sTbc2NeErnU). Spongebob then tells Patrick and Squidward tales of the sea bear, which is a scary monster sort of like Bigfoot or the Boogeyman. He lists off many strange things that attract sea bears, such as badly playing clarinet outside at night and eating cubed cheese. Squidward does all these things to prove that they don't exist, but a sea bear comes and attacks Squidward. At the end, there is another creature called the sea rhinoceros which appears, but does not attack Squidward. The aforementioned Campfire Song Song is the main reason why this episode makes my list, other than just being a really funny episode overall.

7. I'm Your Biggest Fanatic (season 2, episode 30b)


I'm Your Biggest Fanatic
In this episode, SpongeBob and Patrick go to a jellyfishing convention, where SpongeBob meets his hero, Kevin the Sea Cucumber. Kevin is the leader of the Jellyspotters club, which SpongeBob tries desperately to join. SpongeBob takes multiple tests to prove that he is truly ready to join the Jellyspotters, and much to Kevin's dismay, he passes every one while Kevin keeps getting stung. The final task SpongeBob is given is to catch a queen jellyfish. He tries for hours using a queen jellyfish call which produces the sound "loser", and just when he's about to give up, Kevin and his buddies come to him in a queen jellyfish-shaped robot. A king jellyfish appears and falls in love with the robot. SpongeBob is the only one brave enough to confront the king jellyfish, as Kevin was actually a phony. In the end, SpongeBob is made leader of the club, but he decides that hero worship isn't healthy and refuses. I just like this episode overall because I'm a fanatic of a lot of things. Also, I'm sorry the summaries are way longer than me explaining why I like the episode.

6. Grandma's Kisses (season 2, episode 26a)
 Grandma's Kisses
 This episode tells the tale of SpongeBob enjoying trips to his grandma's house. His grandma treats him like a baby, giving him cookies and reading him stories. SpongeBob's peers at the Krusty Krab find out about this and make fun of him, so he decides that he is now an adult. He tells his grandma that he's ready to grow up and comes to her in fake sideburns, with Patrick by his side. Trying to be a grown-up, SpongeBob refuses the activities he once loved, like cookies, storytime, and kisses. Patrick loves these activities and gets very close with Grandma, which makes SpongeBob jealous. He starts crying his eyes out because he doesn't want to grow up and wants to be babied by Grandma forever. Grandma tells him that it's okay to be treated like a baby every once in a while, and that she will always be there for him. I love this episode because I can relate to it. Like SpongeBob, I don't want to grow up and I wish I could stay a kid forever.

I will post Part 2 tomorrow, so keep on the lookout for that!

My Top 5 Pet Peeves (by not_luna_lovegood)

Hey, it's not_luna_lovegood, and a few days ago, I posted a recap of the premiere of "Dancing With The Stars". It was up for like an hour before I deleted it, and if you're wondering why it stayed on for such a short time, I will tell you why. I started off thinking it would be a really good idea, but then I decided that it would be best to delete it. TV reviewing/recapping just isn't really my thing. If you did see it and are wondering where it went, that's why.

For my next post, I will write about 5 things that really, really bug me, also known as pet peeves. These are in no particular order, they're just 10 things that people tend to do that get on my nerves a lot. Maybe you agree, maybe you don't, this is just my personal opinion. Also, if you do these things, I am not saying that I dislike you personally, because I probably don't know you. What I'm trying to say is that I just get annoyed when people do them. So let's get started!

1. Bad Grammar
Okay, maybe I exaggerated a little with the "Grammar Hitler" thing in my opening post. Still, I am a pretty big grammar Nazi. Any time I see a word spelled wrong or the wrong use of "there" in a piece of writing, I have to correct it, usually in a snobbish way. I'm sorry, it's just that bad grammar gets on my nerves.

2. Random Staring
It's a nitpick, I know, but I tend to get annoyed when people just stare at me. It usually happens to me when I'm in class, and I'm tempted to fight back with a witty, sarcastic remark. That would be rude of me, however, so I don't do it. I just keep all my anger bottled up inside of me...until now...hehe. I also hate it when you're coming back from, say, the bathroom, and the entire class just starts staring at you. It really annoys me!

3. Coming Into Class Before The Class Before You Is Done
This is another nitpick I have that has to do with school. In some of my classes, the class after mine always comes in way too early, before I am done packing up. I don't know why, but it really annoys me!! I seriously wish that they would wait until my classmates and I are done packing up before they burst into the classroom.

4. The Unrelated Photo Caption
I am quite active on my private Instagram, which I will obviously not reveal (however, brick_wall_bloggers is the Brick Wall's official Instagram, follow us!). I use it to take a peek into my friends' and favorite celebrities' lives (that doesn't sounds stalker-ish, does it?). One thing that really bugs me on Instagram is when people will take a selfie or something and then post a COMPLETELY unrelated caption, like a song lyric. When people do this, I tend to get really annoyed and am like, Is this a picture of the person who said the quote? No! Is this some edit of the quote? No! This is a selfie/picture of some pretty scenery! So why isn't the caption something like "Just chillin!" or "I saw this and I thought it was pretty"? It really bugs me!

5. Stereotypes 
Here at the Brick Wall, it's a fact that we dislike stereotypes completely! Heck, Banana_Elephant made a post all about it (it's under Music Monday, go check it out if you haven't already). Not all blondes are dumb, not all women are weak, and not all teenagers are rebellious! True, some might be, but not all of them! I really hate stereotypes.

I was gonna do 10 but I could only think of 5 at the moment. My next post will either be on a list of songs that make you want to dance or maybe Top 10 Episodes of SpongeBob Squarepants (since that show is actually a pretty common topic amongst us bloggers). Or maybe it will be something totally different! Whatever my next post will be, I'll have you know that I'll be back soon!

Dog-lover's Top 5 Super Bowl Commercials

Hi, it is dog-lover and on Sunday, February 1, was Super Bowl 49, and I got to say, this year there wasn't that many good commercials as other years.  But there was some ones that stood out to me.  Remember, this is my opinion, feel free to comment your opinion if you want as long as it is not negative.

Here we go:

5. With Dad
It has "Cat's in the Cradle" in the background, I would show it, but it might be inappropriate in the beginning (first 5 seconds).

4. Doritos Airplane

I thought this one was hilarious, where the guy does not want ANYONE to sit by him until a lady walks up and sees he is holding Doritos.  She comes over...... with a kid.  At first I thought he wouldn't tolerate it.  But then he did I guess, I apologize but this video plays it twice.

Here is the link:
Doritos Commercial

3. Clash of Clans

This is a game that I have not heard so much about, but after seeing this commercial, I thought it was weird but funny.  The link is below:

Clash of Clans 2015 Super Bowl commercial

2. Sprint

While offering to cut the customer's bills in half.  They made this commercial, it made me bust out laughing, at the end they play "Uptown Funk" by Mark Ronson and Bruno Mars.

Here it is:
Sprint 2015

1. Budweiser

This was not funny, just really cute!  It follows their same horse and dog plot.  But this is so cute, I hate when the wolf comes up... I said too much, just watch!  This was my favorite of the year.
Budweiser Super Bowl 49 Commercial

That is all, this is dog-lover, signing off.
