All Hail King of Pop!

I found this on my Tumblr dashboard not too long ago and I thought it was the cutest and funniest thing ever. What could be better than a photoshopped photo of Spongebob bowing down to Michael Jackson? Exactly. Nothing. :)

Daydreamin' about Lupe

It's been almost a day since Lupe Fiasco retweeted something I wrote to him and I still can't come to my senses and accept the fact that this is all real. It's crazy to fantasize and wonder what it would be like if your idol were to acknowledge your existance. I had already programmed it in my head that one day Lupe was going to know who I was or he was going to hear of me. I was in my room listening to Lupe himself until I decided to refresh his twitter (which I do every few hours) just to see if he posted anything new. I thought I was daydreaming when I saw "marsunivercity" along with my picture and a tweet of mine. It took me a few seconds and gasps of air to come back down from Mars and realize what had just happened. Lupe Fiasco retweeted ME. I screamed as loud as possible and got in trouble from my mom because she thought something happened to me. Looking back, that was pretty hilarious. However, something did happen to me. Something I've been wanting to happen since I was 12 finally came true. Lupe finally acknowledged my existance. Just to show you what happens when you never give up! ;]

US Women's Soccer: Ranking Every Member of the Team by Hotness

The U.S. women's soccer team has just beaten France, 3-1, in the semifinals of the 2011 Women's World Cup. The team showed some good moves and some good looks.
The U.S. team is arguably the hottest in soccer, and not without reason.
With players like Hope Solo and Abby Wambach, they are an excellent team, but they are also pretty hot.
With that, let's rank every single player on the U.S. women's soccer team.

FIRST Man on the Moon.

Sorry Kid Cudi, but you're not the only man on the moon. 42 years ago on this exact date, July 20th, something extraordinary happened. Astronaut, Neil Armstrong, was the first person to step foot on the moon. He was aboard Apollo 11 with Michael Collins and Buzz Aldrin when he said the famous words, "That's one small step for man; one giant leap for mankind". July 20, 1969 is particularly an auspicious event and date on my part due to the fact that my dream job is to be an astronaut. ;) Neil Armstrong is, in my opinion, one of the coolest people to ever walk on planet Earth... and the moon, of course.

Dear Future Me,

Ever wondered what it would be like to get a letter sent to your future self that was sent by your present self? I may be confusing you a bit but there's a way to send yourself a time capsule through email. It's an amazing idea I came across almost three years ago. However, I've only used it once and it was the most fascinating thing I've ever done. FutureMe.org is a website that lets you email your future self. You choose a date, whether it be tomorrow or 10 years from now, and it gets sent straight to your email on whatever date you choose. Don't believe me? Try it out yourself on futureme.org Enjoy!

Old Art Project

Ahh, so here's an art project I did during Sophomore year. I regret not taking a picture of it completely finished because this was my favorite assignment in that entire class. For those of you who were in the same 10th period art class as me, you'd know that this took extremelyyyyy long for me to finish since I was such a chatterbox. :x I would kill to get this back to laminate and frame it but I'm pretty sure my teacher disposed of it already. :( Ah well. At least I have pics. :\

Summer Nails. ;]

Yesterday my sister & I went to the nail salon and shared an epiphany on something different for our nails. We both decided to get bright summer colors and add an "extraness" to it. Her nails are pictured above with the orange polish and mine are pictured with the blue. On the nails of both our ring fingers, we polished them with sparkles instead of our plain 'ol solid colors. Everyone in the nail salon fell head over heels in love with the idea and highly praised the creativity of it. I guess soon everyone all over will now be a part of the "glitter gang". ;]

Put an end to Racism

I can't help but notice that racism is still haunting many lives. One would think that racism would've been disintegrated a long time ago, considering the fact that it's now 2011. However, I pretty much see racism everywhere I go. Growing up my parents always told me to never use the word "hate" because it was a strong and distasteful word. Well Mom & Dad, I have to rebel and admit that I hate racism. I will never understand what goes through a racist person's mind for them to have such a dislike towards people of different ethnicites and color. We're all human beings at the end of the day so what does it matter if the boy sitting next to you is black or the girl sitting behind you is white? The color of your skin does not determine who you are, what's on the inside should count. Well, at least to me. It's up to you to decide how you feel about racism. If you don't like it being done to you, don't do it to others. Quit the hate & reunite! :)

"When you call yourself an Indian or a Muslim or a Christian or a European, or anything else, you are being violent. Do you see why it is violent? Because you are separating yourself from the rest of mankind.
When you separate yourself by belief, by nationality, by tradition, it breeds violence. So a man who is seeking to understand violence does not belong to any country, to any religion, to any political party or partial system; he is concerned with the total understanding of mankind." - Jiddu Krishnamurti

Free Slurpee Day!

Alright so, this is completely irrelevant for my blog but I couldn't help it, lol. 711 is giving away free 7.11 oz cups of Slurpees today in honor of well, July 11th. I seriously cannot wait to get mine later. >:] Anyway, stop by a 711 and scoop one up quick & good luck for those of you who get brain freeze. D:

Lupe to the Fiasco!

Lupe Fiasco is a lyrical genius. I've been hearing a lot of negative comments by Lupe fans about his third album "LASERS". Despite the distaste shared by some fans, it was still a pretty dope album. The reason for the surprise taken by some Lupe fans was because his sound was a bit transformed. Meaning the beats have changed a bit but the dope lyrics remain. In my opinion I thought LASERS was pure genius but it still doesn't reach the same level as "Food & Liquor" & "The Cool". Lupe being my favorite rapper still gets my unconditional support 100%. However, for those of you who are truly unsatisfied with LASERS, Lupe's next album,"Food & Liquor II", is set to release pretty soon. Maybe then some of you can hear some new "old Lupe".

Welcome to my Universe

For quite some time I wanted to create a blog but I never really got around to it. However, since my summer has been completely "swag-less" I decided to take the opportunity while it's been granted and start my blog right away. Basically Mars UniverCity will cover all grounds of fashion, music, and art culture. (As well as some of my own personal life) For those of you who don't know me, my name's Shoshanna and I'm a 15 year old living in New York City. I'm an upcoming Junior at Benjamin Cardozo High School who's extremely impatient on graduating and heading out to college. Before I start boring you to death, I just wanted to write this as a welcome note for all those visiting the blog. Hope you enjoy and visit back soon!
