The Jonas Brothers rock the camp in Disney’s hit smash summer musical Camp Rock!

Okay, so i have finally gotten the motivation to write about the Camp Rock movie starring the Jonas Brothers and Demi Lavato. To start off with, the movie was great in typical Disney style. There’s a girl with a dream, a boy with a big ego, friends there to assist the girl, and snobby rich girls who try and win the boy over. But the way they put the movie together was amazing.

Mitchie, played by Demi Lavato was the girl with a dream of being a singer, and Joe Jonas (as Shane) is the already-famous rockstar who over hears Mitchie singing and falls head over heals for her voice. The big thing in this movie was not the singing, or the quest to live a life long dream. But to find the girl behind the voice. Shane Gray goes on a search to find her. But has no success.

The rich snob that is trying to win Shane over is Tess Tyler (Meaghan Martin). She frames Mitchie and her friend Caitlyn(played by Alyson Stoner) so they wouldn’t be able to compete in the camp’s “Final Jam” concert, which keeps Mitchie and Caitlyn from winning the grand prize, and keeps Shane from finding the girl he was searching for. But Mitchie and Caitlyn find a way around that problem so they can still perform in the final jam.

Yes, I left out some major and minor details. But you get the idea. And yes, if you haven’t seen the movie and you are wondering, Nick and Kevin Jonas are in it, but not as much as Joe. And speaking of Kevin Jonas, his character(Jason) is a bit slow, or as a friend of mine put it “He is so ditzy its insane”. Nick’s character(Nate) is the complete opposite. He’s kinda like a control freak, always making sure their record deal is still in check after the dramatic attitude Shane is throwing around.

So, overall, this movie was amazing. I loved it 100%. Since the Jonas Brothers are in it, that makes it even better. What can I say, I’m a sucker for thick curly hair ;D Two thumbs up for Disney Channels Camp Rock!!

The Jonas Brothers are beginning their summer “Burning Up” concert tour with Demi Lovato starting on July 5th in Detroit, Michigan.

Long distance relationships suck.

Really, they do. But if you find yourself in a geographically challenged partnership you can totally reduce the suckage by establishing a few simple laws. The important part is to make sure those laws match your relationship style, and both partners physical and emotional needs. And since the typical “true love waits” sentiment is completely overdone, and in my opinion, a crock of shit, here are my revised rules for long distance dating:

1. Communicate! Talk, text, write, twit, picture share or otherwise communicate in some way everyday. And be open about how you’re feeling and whether things are working.
2. Get with the times and get a webcam! A private video conference every couple days can help keep you connected and build up the physical attraction even when you’re thousands of miles away.
3. Faithfulness is in the heart, not between the legs. If you don’t think you can keep your urges to yourself then be honest with your partner. Decide if that’s a factor in your relationship and set ground rules on what is acceptable and what is not.
4. Be honest!!! In this day and age of stalker tools and public internet transparency, you’re gonna get caught so you might as well be straightforward! If you went out, got drunk, and spent the evening hanging all over the hottest thing your beer goggles could find, confess before we see the pictures of your tongue down their throat tagged to you on myspace. It’s only right.
5. Make friends with their friends (at least online). Become an active part in each other’s social circles in some way to help bridge the gap and feel like you are a part of their everyday lives. It also helps you see your partner from another perspective.
6. Quit while you’re ahead. We’ve all been there… when the relationship isn’t good anymore. When it’s more work than reward and you spend your days lonely and sad. Don’t do that to yourself or your partner. Sure, cutting the ties are hard, but dragging them along until someone really gets hurt is just cruel.

In the end love from afar is complicated and requires a greater level of trust and communication to make up for all the one-on-one face time that traditional couples have. Otherwise the same rules apply. Respect, honesty, and communication. That is all.
