Only If I Could.

Right now Iam super annoyed with my life.
Iam stuck due to the fact I cannot get a fucking job.
Im not liking where my relationship is..I know he's not The One.
Im not sure if im dissappointed or thats just how it goes in a serious relationship.Did I
even want something serious to begin with?
Im not the independant woman i once was and i hate that. I never want to be the submissive
woman my step mother is, I want a life. I miss being able to spontaneously do what I pleased.
Everything is a schedule and im sick of it.
If I could, I would have left this place a long time ago.
I would leave to somewhere tropical.Leave my cell and laptop at home.
Take a few books and my camera.Just leave for awhile. I want to explore
and see the world. Im still young ive got the strength.
I feel like Iam never satisfied but i only expect the best for myself.Im not too into materialistic
things but emotionally iam not satisfied.
I want to finish school, i want to do things, and one day start a family.
Im just really confused on which direction to take in my life.
maybe this is another crossroads in my life. who knows.

Daily Music Dose: MC Chris


If you enjoy MC Pee Pee Pants on Aqua Teen Hunger Force this is for you.

Rapper MC Chris has not only given so-called "Nerds" a voice in music but also has given them something to laugh about.  MC Chris' quirky ryhmes about his favorite things including Star Wars,zombies and "Nrrd Grrls", has turned the hip-hop genre upside down.MC Chris has released five albums which include his work with The Lee Majors. His latest release, MC Chris Is Dead, is simply a album for everyone.Nerd or not there are deffinately some jams that you can related to, to that girl you crushed on in the 7th grade or to your secret obsession with Reese's Pieces, yum! There is something for everyone!
His live shows include not only his songs but some stand-up as well.The majority of his shows are put on to help raise money for research to find a cure for Cystic Fibrosis, a disease his nephew currently has.So far he has raised over $25,000 for the cause.

This past summer I caught a glimpse of his set at Warped Tour and he killed it! People of all walks of life filled the small space surrounding the truck he was performing out of.

Even if you aren't really into the whole Nerdcore scene,MC Chris provides something that is just pure magic.It's light hearted and fun,what music should be.

 

Song Suggestions

-" Nrrrd Grrrl"

-"Fett's Vette"

-"Pizza Butt"

-"Freaks"

-"Carebear"

The Gaslight Anthem


I first discovered The Gaslight Anthem while browsing Buzznet's MPFree section.The song was called '59 Sound' from their latest 2008 release. I was literally blown away,it was deffinately a different sound then I was used to.

The New Jersey band has developed their version of rythem and blues all while playing punk shows with The Bouncing Souls and Alkaline Trio.Although they have released an EP along with a fully produced album entitled Sink or Swim in 2007, their latest release has caught more attention than ever.

59' Sound, which was released in August 2008, has brought back a old feeling of music in a fresh way for the modern generation of music lovers. The quality of music they sing and play on the record is exactly what you will find when they play live.There is no pre-recorded tracks on top of their instuments and vocals,its just them playing out their lives.Gaslight's songs have created the images of a world in a different time and the journey of the album is deffinately one to take.There is true passion within the band and you can hear that immediately.

Songs That I Love:

"The Backseat"
"Film Noir"
"59'Sound"
"Great Expectations"

Also check out this video of them playing live on The Late Show.

Day 2: Hiatus

Today or shall I say yesterday, i had a wonderful day that consisted of  a dinner at Islands &  going to see "Coraline". My boyfriend and i both celebrated our first Valentines Day together and it was more than i could ask for. We kept it simple and casual.Tuesday we decided to go to Disneyland.He's taking me as an early birthday present which is really sweet of him!
Ok so for the Hiatus part.
Over the past several days there has been some ridiculous dramaz going on in my circle of so-called friends. these people although i love to hangout with them dont seem to hold my interests at the moment. there is always someone mad at someone. A close friend of mine and her boyfriend  have disrespected my extremely new realtionship by constantly ridiculing me about my personal choice in taking my relationship slow by not having sex right away.this is just getting crazy. they send me texts messeges asking about if we had sex or not and "whats wrong with us". I tried letting it go but it just got worse and i didnt find it funny anymore.My real friends have respected my choices and have never taken something like that past a point of no return.
Besides this, theres just alot of childish situations and consequences that occur and frankly iam sick of it.At this point the only persons iam choosing to hangout are severely limited.last time i checked we left high school and therefore we dont need to act the way we used to in school. Iam turning 20 in 16 fucking days and i dont need this.People get mad that i flake out on them when something suddenly comes up that needs my immediate attention and iam now starting to not give a fuck. If they love me and want me around they'll come to me other than that im on a well deserved Hiatus.

Day 1: A New Era


 

 

I want to start bloggng more now. I think everytime i actually sit down and type something i wind up getting lazy and never follow through on it. Im going to try  to at least write a few little blurbs everyday.

 

In a few weeks i will be turning 20. I think that i'm finally realizing how childish some of the things i do really are. I'm not scared I'm just worried about my future and if im doing anything right.what i really want to do with my life is basically taking some college courses and saving up for a trip to an exotic place or something. i want to see and do things and right now i feel that with the way everything is im going to be stuck and not be able to experience the things i want.

This has deffinately been a year of change for me.

After high school, i went up to santa barbara for college and although its only like two hours away from Los Angeles, i just couldnt handle it. i didnt like the atmosphere and i felt so out of place. i was also taking way too many classes for my first semester in college and felt overwhelmed. my living situation wasnt healthy. i for once  can say i was depressed and miserable.when i called my mom every night to give her updates and stuff, most of the time i would be crying.i would go down to L.A as much as i could to get away but i knew when i move up to SB i was coming back. so i did and realized that i cant always just listen to what other people want from me. i basically grew some balls and said fuck the world i want to be happy.

In November, something incredible happened.i started dating my current boyfriend Daniel. For once in my life someone wanted me around and liked me for who i was not what i looked like.During a very difficult time of my depression he was there to keep me from going to an even darker place than i was already.After finals at school,i moved back to LA and as of December 14th i have been with him and i left the dark place. He has transformed my life in a way that i thought no man could ever do. In my opinion iam really independant and i really dont need anyone to take care of me you know? But now that iam with him he is teaching me in a special way to not be selfish and to care about others. I'am trying to be nicer to people because of him.

And now as i write this it is the eve of Valentines Day, a day in which i never celebrated. I think that if you truly love or care about someone one day of the whole year shouldnt be the time when you demonstrate it.you should show them everyday.Tomarrrow will be the first time i celebrate the holiday but only because its Daniel and me's 2 month anniversary. yes we're that kind of couple.

Alkaline Trio


Don't be fooled by the looks of Chicago based punk band Alkaline Trio. Since the band's formation consisting of the current members in 1997, Trio has deffinately paid its dues more than any other band I have heard.

Alkaline Trio's songs contain themes of Love,Death,Depression,Alcholism and Darkness with up beat tempos and catchy lyrics. Their sound is incredibly virbrant with their life experiences playing out in good quality formation with a horror film twist, much  resembling a new Misfits. They have also used their songs to raise awareness about causes they believe in such as the infamous West Memphis Three,a trio of boys who were wrongfully accused of murder due to the choice of music they listened to.

Another great aspect of this band is the vocals done by Matt Skiba and Dan Andriano.If you enjoy the gruesome tales of drunken nights Matt Skiba is the one for you. If you enjoy love songs that aren't as sappy as the ones your mom and dad listen to Dan Andriano.Both take turns singing songs and both have distinct voices that you cant help but love.This is deffiantly the foundation of the band and it gives them a unique sound.

Now the hard part, recommending songs.

Alkaline Trio has released over 10 albums including 2 DVD/CD packs that include rare tracks not including on most of the other albums. It is deffinatley hard to pick but a few songs. Since YouTube sucks and doesnt give me the links to the good songs I strongly suggest you go to Alkaline Trio's myspace page:www.myspace.com/alkalinetrio and check out the various albums they have on their playlist.

My Top Picks:

"In Vein"

"This Could Be Love"

"War Brain"

"Stupid Kid"

"Every Thung Need A Lady"

Moon Canyon: The Scariest Place To Go At Night..


Photo Credit: http://farm4.static.flickr.com

 

 

 

I live in a small town in the Northeast Los Angeles area called Highland Park.Tonight my lovely friends took me on a adventure to a place that is horrifically close to my house. Moon Canyon is basically a hiking spot of this canyon that overlooks an incredible veiw of Downtown L.A. We did not dare get out of the car and go for a hike but we explored the eerie neighborhoods that surround the area. The majority of the homes we saw were modern and lovely but  we got to this one house that just simply scared the shit out of me.It was small with a garage right next to it, the white paint was chipping off the structures as if it had been abandoned decades ago.The garage looked like it had not been opened for several decades as well.The strangest thing of it all was that there was a front window and there was a light on! of course you couldnt see in the home but apparently someone does live in that house! That was only the begining, as we reached the bottom of one side of the canyon we crossed to the otherside. Suddenly the temperature a dramatically dropped, the trees and vegetation around us was incredibly greener than the other side and to top it off..we heard a light..."oooo" sound. it was bizzare and we all stayed quiet. as soon as we got back to where we started at the top of the mountain, the "oooo" sound stopped and it wasnt bone chilling cold anymore.according to rumors the area is haunted by the Native Americans who used to live there when highland park was inhabited by Native Americans. it was just super creepy to see all this tonight.

 

Does anyone have creepy places by their homes?

I Know Who My Friends Are.

as iam getting older i have been noticing the people who i thought were my closest bestest friends are the ones who have disrespected me more than anyone else. iam kinda in a pissy mood due to the fact that my "group" is all hanging out at the beach tomarrow and oops have forgotten all about me.what the fuck. you know i have put up with so much shit from them its unbearable.i know now who are my true friends and who is just someone you can have a good time with.if you are a friend you stick up for each other, you are there when you need someone the most, you have a love for each other that cannot be described. what happened to that. no one sticks up for me and no one takes my side.i cant just say goodbye because i do love hanging out with them when i do. but i feel really left out and i feel this is junior high all over again.we are past high school becoming adults and yet nothing has changed and its pretty pathetic.i can only hope that my few real friends will accept me for who iam and what iam striving to be.

Led Zeppelin: The Awakening.

Growing up, my mother had music playing all the time.
It was from all sorts of genres with funky beats & cheesey lyrics. Only when I started the 6th grade did I take notice. I went to private school and wore Metallica t-shirts under my uniform to piss the nuns off but little did I know what I was missing.

Classic Rock.

My friends and I slowly got into it. In 7th grade I was baptized, 'The Immigrant Song' DVD by Led Zeppelin was the most insane footage of a band that I had ever seen.
The way Robert Plant stood on stage and sang his lungs out.The way Jimmy Page's guitar solos left me breathless. The way John Paul Jones had his hair styled and the way John Bonham banged on those drums.I was sold. I couldnt believe that my ears had not heard this until now! From then on I listened to them more and more.Their music is so in a way sexy. The passion involved is outstanding and you dont see that anymore no matter what bands say.

At this point in my life, i feel it is essential that everyone at least have one favorite classic rock band. I dont understand how kids these days listen to the shit thats out there *coughTOKIOHOTELcough*. I dont even think that some of these shitty bands have the foundation to form such bands. Most bands have inspiration from old school bands but how can you be inspired by people when you don't put in the effort to do the research. Of course people will say 'oh I'm original' but at this point nothing is original might as well take a lesson from the Big Dogs and do it right.

High on Mexican Food- a Presidential Debate Blog Post

ok tonights debate was actually interesting lol..

one thing that i deffinately disliked was the 'townhall' style debate..i thought it was too informal and didnt give the edge and anxiety you would find in a more formal debate..it was way too casual.i like the questions that were asked especially because they were asked and formulated by REAL people and i enjoyed "what dont you know and how can you learn it?" niiice! if Palin was asked that she would respond along the lines..."Everything". ahaha!

i thought obama handled himself rather well and mc cain looked like his mother stuffed him into that jacket he was wearing..lol..i just mostly listened to what obama said because mc cain was talking out of his ass like always so yeah and at the end Barack and Michelle stayed to meet every single one of the audience members and took pics with them and such..all those 'undecided' voters that were the audience seemed to know who they wanted after tonight..obama was well recieved...mc cain and cindy however...quietly disappeared and didnt stay to meet everyone..i thought mc cain was also rude throughout the whole debate and even 'dumbed down' an audience member saying that he probably didnt know who Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae were before the stock market crashed... i mean COME ON you're trying to get people to vote for you and you assume that they arent intelligent enough to know what the fuck those firms are..seriously?  

in the end the polls spoke for themselves and obama led the stats with large numbers and mc cain suffered greatly obviously he has given up and i think you could see that from the debate tonight and his choice of VP lol...

i cant wait for the next one and i hope to God that its not a 'townhall' style..lets step it up Mc Cain you ol' Mavrick! hahahaha

remember kids..vote novemeber 4th! october 20th is the registration deadline for california!!

to see the results of the polls from tonights debate check out: www.msnbc.com
