Vlog Event! New Day with Tamar Kaprelian!

by 20SB Admin on August 30, 2010

My name is Tamar Kaprelian and I’m a musician signed to Interscope Records. I wanted to introduce my favorite song from my new album, Sinner Or A Saint, called “New Day”. “New Day”’ is a song about over-coming struggle, starting fresh, and finding the positive in even the most negative situations. It touches on the importance of learning from your mistakes and becoming a stronger person through life’s experiences. I’ve been inspired by the 20-something blogger community and thought this would be a great place to learn what “New Day” means to all of you!!! Tell me in a video blog post about a time you’ve “started a new day” in your life or over-came struggle and I’ll pick 5 winners to receive a signed copy of my album and a chance to have their blog featured on my Facebook page (facebook.com/tamarkaprelian). Can’t wait to see what you submit! Good luck.

Post image for Guest Post: How Did You Two Meet?

During our California weekend, A.’s family kept asking us how he and I met and I realized that I never really went into detail on that here. Sure I quickly mentioned him after attending a NYC meet-up for 20 Something Bloggers at Fat Cat back in December, but did you know that I was thisclose to walking out before A. came up to me?

Like a 7-layer burrito, I have 7 layers. The first, outermost layer is sunshine. The second is Star Wars. The third is a 7-layer burrito. The fourth is a love of koalas/money/Dick Van Dyke. Layers five and six, I don’t want talk about. Finally, layer seven is friendship…it’s also where I store my cheetos, which I’m more than willing to share with you. If you want to learn more “About Me,” watch the movie “Die Hard.”

Friends & Money Carnival Winners!

July 22, 2010

We want to thank the team at Schwab for all their hard work in putting this Carnival on…they are way ahead of the game in trying to engage bloggers and social media communities when it comes to large companies. We applaud their efforts to push into uncharted territory. It isn’t always easy to make something like this happen at a big organization like theirs, and a few of their team members really pushed hard to get it done.

I am captivated by life. I adore anyone with passion in their bloodstream and a story to tell. I am a flower child stuck in the wrong time period. If I had my way we would have world peace, cupcakes would hold the same nutritional value as vegetables and everyone would fall in love in a coffee shop. I don’t care about being a writer nearly as much as I care about turning my life into a love letter to this world.

Blog Carnival: Friends And Money! #$friends

June 23, 2010

Topic: We figure you have a lot in common with your friends or you wouldn’t be so close, but your bank accounts may not necessarily share common balances. No one wants to miss out on a good time or be the only one without trendy jeans, but can you always afford it? What is the one thing you must splurge on and what could you do without? Or tell us about a time you were glad you tapped the ATM (or the time you wished you hadn’t).

I’ve been blogging since Feb 09, so definitely not that long compared to a lot of people. Again, I blame my sister! She started blogging January and I’ll never forget-one day she said “There are fashion bloggers you would LOVE. You need to check them out.” So I did, and thought heyyy…I could do that. So I did.

Why, hi and hello! I am 20-something. My dog is 8-something. We are a powerful team, and only one of us still menstruates (guess which one). Writing, reading, music, movies, friends, my dog, making meals from scarce supplies, “the liberal media,” and goya coffee make me happy. I like people, I like learning, and I love learning from people.

Featured Interview: Ashley!

I am the worst person to answer this question. I’m not particularly good at talking myself up, but I love the space I’ve carved out on the internet to talk about all the things that interest me, from philosophy and theology to debt and writing and politics and pop culture. Blogging has helped me become more comfortable being myself, because of all the opportunities it’s given me to explore my interests and aspects of my personality, but I’ve always been introspective, so I’ve never really struggled with that. The more amazing thing about blogging is that it’s made me realize just how many people can understand exactly what I’m going through. The first time I wrote about my anxiety, I got this huge outpouring of support. When I started blogging about my debt, I heard from so many people who were in the same position, but even my blog friends who are debt free have been with me, cheering me along as I work hard to dig myself out.

I will eat the questionable leftovers. I have a freckle in my bellybutton. I know every word to the song “Gangsta’s Paradise” by Coolio. I am a shy pooper. The only class I ever failed was Modern Dance. I actually know a real, live man named Mike Hunt. One of my nostrils is bigger than the other one. I have 8 pet rats. I was born with a full set of paired organs and I have extremely efficient kidneys. When used in the proper context, the words “rabies,” “boat,” “Jesus,” “dinosaur,” and “infant” can make me laugh hysterically (surprisingly, when used in conjunction, these words may be less effective at eliciting laughter). I am terrified of bees.
