clothes and music

Lately I have noticed a trend in the music I listen to and the influence it has on the way I dress. Like it's something I honestly have no control over. If I listen to certain music when I get ready in the morning, it effects every aspect of my ensemble. This all make sense though, in my mind.

For example, as I got ready this morning I listened to wavves, which has a very beachy, rock feel to it and well all I wanted to do was wear jean, a tshirt, and pink lip stick. So I did. The music inspired me I guess.

When I listen to ghetto, rap like, I don't know, Ludacris or Snoop Dogg, I tend to want to wear lots of gold. Shiny things that look very expensive, I guess that's what comes to mind when I listen to them... I'm not sure.

As I listen to jazz or classical records, all I want to where are little dresses and an apron. It brings out my domestic duties side and I feel like cleaning and baking and what not. hahaha maybe I should listen to it all the time.

Then, as I stream metal through my speakers.... Heck, all I want to wear is black. Yeah, then with like red accents or a graphic tee. I try to be metal, you know what I mean. I'll usually wear my black shoes and black pants then do like sparkle make up. I guess in my mind that's what metal is.

Now I'm not saying I follow these instincts all the time, but the it really does impact my attire more than I would like to admit. I think that musicians should start pairing up with different clothing companies more often, but not make it just like a one time deal. Like certain clothing companies should do lines of clothes based on certain bands or even songs. Then on the websites play the band and show you the clothes. Well that's what I'll do maybe some day... just you wait. that's all I got.

TUP duex

So as I promised, here is my writings on the second half of Trickle Up Poverty. So I have been done with this book for sometime I just kinda forgot I said I was going to blog about the end of it.. So yeah. Here you go I guess, for those who care.

So the last chapters focused on some of the things that really make me tick. So I enjoyed them highly. Mr. Savage seriously killed all these topics; with witt and the plain facts: Global Warming, Illegals, and Military. Seriously these were executed perfectly and I enjoyed it so much! I won't tell you everything I'll just cite some of my favorite quotes on these subjects. Let's go.

Global Warming:

"In 2006, Gore presented a global warming disaster scenario in his film, An Inconvenient Truth. With the skill of Freddy Krueger, Al butchered science on the big screen, bludgeoned the truth to a pulp, and scared the hell out of millions of unsuspecting dolts. His 'gore-fest' included the release of a book based on the same junk science used in his movie. The Hollywood lapdogs ate it up, handing Al an Academy Award for this so-called documentary- a real piece of fiction if ever there was one." (p. 156) Umm this is freakin great.

"Thank God there's an awakening as the Tea Party movement demonstrates. The resistance to what this president is doing to foist trickle up poverty on the middle class via Climategate is growing. I can only pray it's not to late to stop Obama's hate."(p. 186) He's talking about me :)

Illegals: this is one of those issues that I really don't understand the opposition. So if you could open my eyes so see why illegals aren't committing a crime, I will seriously listen.

"In the first place, someone in this country illegally is committing a crime. If you're an illegal alien, you're a criminal. Period. Beyond that, if you're in the country illegally and you commit another crime, it's a crime that could have, and should have, been prevented by more stringent enforcement of immigration laws." (p.200) RIGHT!

"A study conducted by Bear Stearns found that 'undocumented immigrants... hold approximately 12 to 15 million jobs in the Untied Sates (8% of the employed)". (p. 204) Um. Hello that's why unemployment is so high in America! haha I don't know.

Military:

"When you pull back the curratin and see the monstrous things Obama the Destroyer has done-and is doing-you realize this president, his agenda, and his policies are to be feared because he is putting the survival of a nation on the line". (p. 262) haha the Destroyer. yup.

"In other words, the Obama military establishment is running a damn PR campaign, not a war! They're more concerned about the cultural seeeensitivity that getting the job done-which is no way to win." (p.265) thank you Mr. Savage.

"In the words of General George S. Patton: 'No bastard ever won a war by dying for his country. He won it by making the other poor dumb bastard die for his country.' Patton wouldn't be playing this peek-a-boo game with the Taliban swine. He wouldn't have hesitated using air power to flatten and pulverize that rat holes where these vermin hide. America needs more Patton.. and less patent leather." (p.269) Bad, but very true and hilarious.

So in conclusion. Buy the book I guess. I enjoyed it probably more than I should have, some of the stuff in here just amazed me. What I wrote isn't even the best stuff. You have to find that out for yourself ;)

its valentime!

Well it's valentines day.. what do you do.. wear red, pink and black (and brown because that's my favorite color). I just couldn't help but write a little somethin on the topic, yeah know, it's just the time to do it.

First of all, I really don't understand Valentines Day, especially when it comes to the advertising and the things sold on this special day. For example, wallgreens was selling big stuffed hearts with tennis shoes on them. That's gross! I would not like that if I were a girl, plus it's really creepy. I guess maybe for a joke, it could be romantic? I don't know. Also, people will buy cheep chocolate. That just never made sense to me. NO ONE WANTS GROSS CHEEP CHOCOLATE! haha it doesn't bother me that much but I wanted to be dramatic. Then why do kids pass out valentines to everyone in the class? who started that tradition? (I don't really want to know). I feel like valentines day is just an excuse to be romantic and flirty and get all your feelings out. something, whatever. Or it could be just a great day to be mean and break up with someone. haha that's mean.

Another thing I love is everyone being all proud that they are alone on valentines day. Especailly when they had never had it any other way. I mean you have been alone your whole life does it really matter that you're alone for this one day. I guess so. But then there are those who are all oh I don't care that I'm alone on valentines day but you secretly know that they just want someone to say oh you're alone want to be mine. haha I like noticeing that kind of stuff.

Well while were on the subject of love I guess I'll say a little something. I believe in love and I believe in marraige, especially for girls, it's just practical. I know I'm going to get married someday and I'm actually really excited about it (for good reasons) but that day is not in the near future and that's how I like it. I feel like people should just find someone that they can seriously spend the rest of their life with and commit to it. Because everyone (well of course not everyone) needs the security that comes with marriage and just knowing that you belong to someone, and not having to worry about being alone. Like us girls need to get married someday for the protection and security even money wise. And men need to get married so they can take care of their family and feel accomplished. Girls be girls and boys be boys PLEASE! (know your gender and you're good). See there comes a point where you just naturally progress in life, and it all comes in time. Some sooner that others. But it's something that you shouldn't worry about, it will all come in time. I mean still be careful with who you chose and all, and whatever you don't rush things, but don't stress that your single at [insert age here], calm down, it's your fault your single anywayz... just kidding.

"It's Mr. Latenight Luda and I like to flirt."

Happy Valentines Day <3

respect

I have come to realize something: I respect expensive things, even expensive people. Our society is practically based on money and fame and to reach that, is actually quite impressive. Now I'm not saying that they are my idols or anything but seriously to become so famous and well known is pretty cool. I also really respect pretty people. They are seriously my favorite, even if their not very famous, it's just amazing how good looking some people are.

For clothing stores and what not, I can really admire those that can sell their stuff for so much and people buy it. Especailly those big brand names. Even though I can't buy their stuff, other people can and someone is making tons of money off of it. I look up to them in the sense that they did it right, and they really do know what they are doing. See you really have to know the market and have everything down to make that kind of money and fame. Or even all the rappers or big music artists out there. They know the system and to appeal to so many people and make so much money is just crazy. Like Lil Wayne, Nicki Miniaj, Ludacris (I know he's not the biggest but I like him), Drake, Jay-Z, and even Beonce, they are all stinkin rich and everyone knows them. And don't forget about Justin Beiber, most viewed video on youtube with half a billion views. Now I know that their music isn't good, so what, hello they're all making million$$$.

Also I like it when people do stuff just because they can. Like Mukest Amban, Indias richest man. He is building a 27 floor house, over 400,000 square feet, the richest home, just because he can. I like that, I mean isn't that how we got all the historic wonders of today, the Palace of Versillas, yeah. When people spend their money they can create something historic, I want to do something like that some day. Some poeple don't see it as fair to judge someone's sucess by the amount of money they make but I honestly think it's pretty accurate. It's no wonder the some of the richest people in the world are also the smartest, they deserve it. Then people will go as far to say that it's not fair that people are praised because they are smart. Well, hello it's the smart people that made the system work that way! haha I don't know, maybe I'm just saying that because I'm smart, just kidding.

Also, pretty people. It really bothers me when people hate people just for being pretty, especially girls. I mean come on they can't help it that they're beautiful, and in my opinion it's a gift. This just makes me happy, seeing pretty people.

I don't know I guess it all just comes down to this: I aspire to be someone who knows what they're doing and makes money. haha

Ma Soeur

It's February... love.. oh yeah!

Well my sister is doing really cool things on her blog so if you haven't checked it out... please do right now.

www.koolkidnation.blogspot.com

She's posting something new related to love, everyday for this month.

So in the spirit of my sister I thought I would post this poem for her. I wrote it like a year ago, December 9, 2009, to be exact but it has been in my head a lot lately.

Note: It is in french... stupid french... simple senctences because I am really bad at it, but I get by. Also, this isn't real poetry, I haven't really given poetry a chance, it always makes me feel weird. I don't know I could be good at it, most likely not. It's really short too.

Ma soeur,

jolie et petite

Elle fete, elle aller au cafe, elle danse

J'adore my soeur

Madeline.

Ha told you so. Anyways that's my cotribution to love and poetry.

chill out

So for the past couple day's New Mexico has had a total break down and honestly I think it's great, for me anyways. I know that people have been running out of gas, which is really bad, but they cancelled school and I'm selfish. So the title "chill out" entails that it has been cold, but also alludes to what I will be discussing in these up coming sentences.

Well, on these days off, I have been doing a whole lot of nothing. Nothing that matters or is to any extent productive. And honestly, I have been just fine with it. Usually, I'm like aahaha I need to get out of the house and do stuff with people, I'm missing out on everything, blah blah blah. But not this time! I stayed at home, hung out with my brother, played xbox, played computer games, didn't do my homework, and even forgot to eat many times. I don't know maybe I was sick and I just didn't notice, I couldn't tell ya. But what I learned from this is that I think everyone should just calm down. chill out, you could say ;) I has done me wonders.

It's surprisingly nice to just be kinda selfish in the right way. I'm not saying totally selfish, but just don't worry about what everyone else is doing around you, just be happy and comfortable with what you are doing. Then also don't jump to conclusions in your mind. I notice that when I stay home by myself I start thinking wicked fast about everything on the planet. And that doesn't get me anywhere, I jump to conclusions about stuff that doesn't matter and it just starts ruining my day. So what do you do? Find something that will occupy your time, for a long time. Trust me hobbies are very important. It doesn't have to be productive either. It has to be something that you get so caught up in and concentrated on that you forget to eat, that's when you know it's a hobby. But don't let drama be you're hobby, that's just unhealthy, even though it seems to be the most common one. So just find something that you like to do and be happy. You don't have to be happy but at least relax a little bit. And you really don't have to worry about everyone else, they're fine.

You could also get a blog, you can tell that's one of my hobbies because none of my post have any real purpose other than occupying some time in a manner other people can hopefully enjoy.

I don't know, here is something else. If you are really stressed and what not, most of the time when you over think things the end result is not very logical and just trying to talk to someone about it just a mess, because you know you're not making much sense, or at least that's how it goes down for me. Hmm... maybe that never happens to you and I just sound crazy, whatever it was your choice to read this, if anyone does. Besides the point. Advice: one of my favorite things to do is just ignore your emotions! I'm serious. Just ignore them and realized that you feel this way but just don't recognize your emotions as true and what ever you do don't feed off of them. You will just set your head spinning and that's no good. Because when you are all emotional you definitely don't think straight, so just recognize that you're emotional and ignore them. Maybe not everyone can do this but you can always try.

So everyone just relax. Including myself.

music

I realized that I haven't really talked about music much on this thing. Let me tell you why. I kinda hate talking about my music choices with others. I hate it when people that annoy me, like the same bands that I do. So when they ask who my favorite band is... I lie. I know this is really weird and may come off mean, but it's true. Also, I don't like it when people say that they like a band just because I do. Trust me this doesn't happen often but when it does again I lie. It's a really bad impulse I have and probably should be broken. So tonight that is what I'm going to do.

My all time favorite band is.....(drum role).....(even though no one cares).... the arctic monkeys.

Yep they are perfect. Their music can change my mood in any way possible. I haven't really ever liked a band this much ever. They are uber talented and not to mention absolutely gorgeous. Okay, so the name sounds stupid, I understand that, but trust me there is nothing stupid about them. There is really no good way to describe their sound so here just listen:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xkCuDftNf0c (please click, you seriously won't regret it)

I hope you can see why and it better be for the right reasons, just kidding. And if not that's really okay. But for me I love them and I mean it.
