Confessions From A Black Rose

January is coming to an end and I feel like sprinkling my blog with some more music. I did a 90's throwback about a month ago and it got such a popular response that I am doing it again. This time I present to you my favorite band of all time, BACKSTREET BOYS . Here there are with the song that defined a generation of screaming girls, I Want It That Way . I remember when this video premiered on KTV( the South African  equivalent to Disney Channel).  It was the highlight of my 12 year old life. So sit back, relax, sing along and be transported to the fierceness of the 90's.

The days of Disney World and Sea World are long gone now but I am sure I will be returning once my siblings or I have kids. I did spend two out of my ten days at Universal Studios Resort Orlando . One day I was hopping around Island of Adventure the next zipping through Universal Studios Florida . If you are making a trip to Orlando, I strongly suggest making a pit stop to Universal . I have not been to Universal Studios in years and I was impressed about what they had done. There is a new roller coaster called Hollywood Rip Ride Rockit that had me jumping and screaming out of my seat literally. Then the Revenge of the Mummy ride was also excellent.
