Dramatic Little Girls

Photobucket

I hate women. Better yet I hate girls. The difference may seem difficult to see sometimes but when issues between friends and lovers come up, it becomes clear who the little girls are. I'm sure you've had some experience with this.

You know, one girl has a problem with another girl friend because they don't always get along. One is an idiot or a bitch in the other's opinion. Same old story. Maybe this year I'll make a resolution to keep the hell out of these things. I'm so tired of it. I hear about it all the time and sadly it never changes. Perhaps its the people I know, I'm not sure.

I'm almost 21 years old for godsake. This got me thinking....if I'm friends with someone I will no longer participate in their childish drama. I think immaturity is a big problem right now, not just for me but alot of people I know. Its like they don't realize what they're doing or don't recognize their trivial ways. If it irritates me, then my stupidity (whenever that may happen) must bother some else too. That makes sense right?

I try to be mature about most things, though I am a kid inside--I value that part of myself, but I want the good kid to come out and NOT just the kid who wants to take her friends crayons because she sucks at drawing haha. Everyone has that inside, a good and bad side. Its a matter of letting the good out to play, and keeping the bad in its place.

I like being respected as a person. As a girl, as someone's friend. Don't we all? I hope more people will think about this as we get into our New Years resolutions this next week. Not giving a shit about other people is wrong (not caring what they think is a whole different thing), treat others as you wish to be treated. Its a saying old as time, yet many people completely ignore it.

So to all of you who don't get along: what's the problem? Is it worth not being friend over? Or torturing each other for? Are you just taking crap out on them for no reason? Did they pee in your Wheaties?

Seriously, think about it. If I don't like a girl for a legit reason and you're my friend, it doesn't mean you can't be friends with her. I see this with guys alot. They can be friends with any other guy no matter the problem. They don't make up stupid rumors or create drama because Bob is friends with Joe, and Joe hates Bob's best friend. But when this exact situation happens between a group of girls, it becomes chaotic! "I hate Ashley because Suzy does" or "Mary likes Bob and I do too, so I hate Mary" >.< I know females are territorial but come on. We can't get territorial over our friends like this anymore, its childish. We're not in 3rd grade anymore!

This has been my frustration for years. I at one point completely hung out with boys just to avoid girls' dramatic shit hole also known as friendship. Of course I kept one or two close girl friends but they weren't attached at the hip or anything. I don't like the super clingy girl friend relationships, it never ends up going very well. Guys are just easier to deal with in my opinion. No over-analyzing, no bullshit. They say it all to your face.

To put this all shortly err sum it all up. I'm tired of all this shit going between my friends. You don't like me because I'm friends with your coworker that you don't like? I don't even know why you don't like her. Wtf? Get over yourselves and fucking grow up. The end. Is that so much to ask? Nope.

Merry Christmas :] lol.

Childhood

I'm feeling nostalgic after having a conversation about PlayStation 1, original Pokemon tv shows, GameBoy Color, and other random things from my childhood. Seems so long ago in a way yet like it was yesterday. Oh how cheesy, I just rhymed. Anyways...I grew up in the 1990's, born in 1989 (last of the eighties aww). Now being 20 years old I can watch old movies that I watched as a kid and see everything I missed lol like those messed up perverted things Disney animators put in when they were bored (Little Mermaid priest has a boner fyi). I can look back and remember all the good tmes when life was way simpler. No internet in the house, no plasma tvs, no cellphones for texting, no DVRs.
Awesome things about being a kid (that make life easier)
1. You don't watch the news or understand it

2. The world is as big as your city
3. You don't have a clue what a period or sex is
4. You don't worry about money
I'm trying to think of how it might be to grow up these days and as I think of all the things on the news and in the media....it sure sounds terrible. I read the things that my 11 year old cousin posts to her Facebook. (Facebook rules state that you must be 13 years old to have a Facebook but let's throw that one out the window) She posted lyrics to the Ke$ha song "Tik Tok" yesterday. I don't know where my aunt is while she listens to music like this. I mean seriously the girl singing talks about brushing her teeth with a "bottle of Jack". Something is wrong there. If I heard that coming from my kid's room I'd take her computer or something. Every kid has an iPod, a laptop, and a tv in there room for some reason. I never had any of those thing and turned out just fine. I only had a boombox and my parent's CD collection to listen to---until I bought my first CD of my very own: N*Sync's No Strings Attached.

I know she loves Miley Cyrus (uhoh) and Taylor Swift---at least Taylor Swift is a nice girl. It makes me sad though, must be so different these days. I've heard a 6 year old use the word "fuck" before. I even had a customer at work get yelled at by her 13 year old son about her not letting him rent a rated-M game. She justified it by telling him that "war and violence isn't ok. My dad was in Vietnam and you will NOT learn that shooting people is ok"...he proceeded to call her a bitch right in front of me. Hello?!

Dear parents, your children are sponges. Please monitor what they're listening to at least HALF of the time. Also, cancel your HBO subscription. Your "baby" boy knows how to use the remote to watch dirty shows.

And then there's the internet, the whole thing. The internet is for porn! Lol not really but yea there's alot of that on here if you click on the wrong link or turn off Safe Search on Google Image Search. Who knew that naked girls had anything to do with my history homework....I didn't.

I think that we all just need to be a bit more careful about what the kids around us are seeing and hearing. All that sex and violence on tv/movies/everything isn't necessary for anyone, especially kids. I value my childhood immensely, and I'd hope that each and every other kid gets a fun, innocent time in their life to just be a kid too. No rush to grow up or become sexual. Just play outside on bikes with the neighbor kids and watch cartoons on Saturday morning. That's what every kid deserves. Don't wanna end up trying to be a kid forever like Michael Jackson, now do we? Noooooope. So here's a few songs that I used to hear on the radio all the time when I was about 6 or 7 years old....

OMC - How Bizarre



Fastball - The Way



Backstreet Boys - Larger Than Life



Britney Spears - Baby One More Time



Eiffel 65 - Blue (Da Ba Dee)

Iron Man 2

Tim Burton's Alice In Wonderland

Well it seems that this week is movie trailer week for me! Here's another highly anticipated film due for release in 2010! Looks more focused on the Mad Hatter from this trailer, but hey a different side of the story could be interesting. The book is supposed to be a mushroom-acid trip and scary, unlike the animated Disney version. Either way I'll probably be sitting in line at the midnight showing with Nura.
Coming to theaters March 5th 2010!

Ridley Scott's ROBIN HOOD


Coming May 14th 2010
This looks pretty damn good so far. Plus we all know that Cate Blanchett is always always always a good actress. I hope Russell Crowe can use this to get his career back. Hmm...

KROQ AAC Live Right Now!

If anyone is really into rock music, such as Muse, they're on right now at the KROQ (106.7) Almost Acoustic Christmas right now. Awesomeness. They sound great live!

Silly Comparison on Your Part

Photobucket
Once in awhile someone makes a jealous comment about those of us who are in long-standing relationships. They may not see it as jealousy but it sure reads that way. This week the comment was made by a friend that we all know is NOT having sex with his girlfriend yet. "Your relationship is based on sex".....oh really? Since when do you know how many times we have sex & etc? Hmmmm? No, my relationship is definitely not based on sex. Just ask my boyfriend haha.

Anyone whose ever been in a relationship for more than a few months knows that sex does come up eventually. It either happens or it doesn't. Everyone has their reasons on why they're not having sex. But hey, those of us that are in loving committed relationships usually do at some point.

I think its absolutely ridiculous for someone to propose that their relationship is stronger than mine because they aren't having sex. Especially when their relationship is much different and younger. We're goin on almost 4 years here, and they're barely past a year. It's up to them if they choose to be intimate, and vica versa. NONE YO BUSINESS!

So to the person who said this, sorry you and your partner aren't having sex. That's your issue to cover, not mine or anyone elses. Communication, trust, and lovea are much more important than having sex. Thoughts? Questions? Concerns?

Shredded


Alert the media, Rocksie has shredded her red dog toy lol. I always think its funny how some people think that dogs are stupid. I think they're quite smart actually.

Currently Rocksie (my golden retriever) is trying to continue shredding her toy without me seeing. She stops n looks the other way whenever I ask her what she's doing. Haha and now seems to be pouting that I caught her.

It looks like it snowed on my floor. Silly doggie riped the toy's head off n ate the ears. Random but really amusing. She does this every Christmas. One toy is sacrificed via her shredding it, and the nshe gets a new one that she treats like her child for the new few months.

True Blood

True Blood (Season 1 & 2) 4.5/5

Photobucket

So the vampire story genre is pretty popular this year. First with the rise of
Twilight and then with HBO's True Blood. Both follow a romantic story-line yet I gotta say, True Blood is much better. Not only are these authentic vampires, but there's alot more of a story than Twilight.
The
True Blood series takes places in Louisiana in an alternative world compared to ours. The vampires have "come out of the coffin" and revealed themselves to the world. Some are happy to see this, while others hate it. I love the variety of characters, human and vampire. Sookie Stackhouse is a waitress at Merlot's (a local Bon Temps restaurant and bar) where her boss loves her and the locals thoughts are heard too loudly....she's a telepath, though only her closest friends know this. her boss, Sam Merlot also is more than human, but he's no vampire.

A serial killer plagues the small town of Bon Temps, mainly "fang-bangers" are targeted by the killer. In the second season, a Maenad comes to town and starts making shit hit the fan. Yes, it gets weirder and weirder. Meanwhile there's a crazy Jesus camp of people that are all for staking vampires because they are the spawn of Satan. Crazy people, it makes me laugh to see such delusional religious people.

There's alot of nudity, senseless in my opinion but hey its HBO so they can do it if they want. Language, nudity, drugs---awesome, its more real than a lame-ass story where nobody ever dies or has sex or anything that happens in real life. There's also no awkward angst and stupid "I have to leave you......its too dangerous". Sorry
Twilight, but you also have shitty actors compared to this show. I like that there's more in-depth stories and exploration of the vampire world than "h these are the Cullens and nobody can ever know that they're vampires, PS: there's shape-shifters too". In the world of True Blood there's all kinds of mythical creatures which makes for more choices in story-lines as well as characters. It doesn't get boring, ever.

Photobucket

Overall, I like it. in fact I just finished season 2 at 4AM last night. Me and my brother sat there and watched the show for probably 5 - 6 hours straight. Addicting, very addicting. Our favorite character so far is Eric Northman, a vampire who runs the Fangtasia vampire bar. This series is not for anyone under 18 years old according to its rating, and I'd stick with that if you wanna watch this with kids or your parents. Sex scenes aren't like in the movies, everyone shows their bare ass or chest at some point in the show. Kinda like porn, eww. If you're uncomfortable with nudity or gore, just don't watch. That's really all I gotta say, I just have to wait for the 3rd season to be on the internet because I don't have HBO :[

What's another show that I should watch? I've heard Dexter is pretty good. Thoughts? Responses? Hmm?

Photoshoot

Hey guys, check out these awesome pictures of my brother Ryon :] They're on Jeff Wallace Photography's blog! All credit to him of course, I love these!


Pictures were taken out in Codo de Caza and a few other places. Finally my family has good pictures (fuckin awesome pictures) of my brother.You might wonder why he's dressed funny---Yes, he does race go karts. A few of the pictures include his helmet and driving suit. Enjoy!

Sunday the 6th

Hello again, it's me. Who else would it be? That was a stupid question lol. Well this is a really informal-type blogity blog for the day. Just thought I'd let everyone know that I've got a few movie reviews on the way.
Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang
Harry Potter & the Half-Blood Prince
Public Enemies

Lucky Number Slevin

Because its "CSR appreciation week" at Blockbuster for the next 2 weeks, I can get 10 free rentals instead of just 5 free rentals. So I may end up renting and reviewing alot in the next few weeks. Then again I also have end of semester junk and finals to deal with at school. Good luck if you're facing final exams just like me.

It's almost Christmas! I still have no idea what I want other than bubble bath (I ran out a few days ago) and maybe a new Wii game. I need suggestions please! What are you asking for?

PS: I'm starting to watch True Blood. Let's see what all the buzz is about!

A State of Trance 2009

Hello fellow bloggers and music lovers, just thought I'd shine a light on some new music I've gotten a hold of! I love most genres of music but seem to have an affinity for electronic. No, Lady GaGa doesn't count (that's pop, no offense to GaGa she's great) Maybe because of my rave phase? I'm not sure, its calming to me---but anyways....

Photobucket

I've just downloaded Armin Van Buuren's A State of Trance 2009 and so far its great. I especially like "The Fractal Universe" by Matt Zo. You've probably never heard of Zo---why not? He's a 19 year old DJ and music producer from England. It's crazy to think that this so young and talented. Just take a read of his profile/biography on last.fm: click here yo.



Like most of my favorite trance artists, Zo's music was introduced to me by my good friend Ben. As we drove home from Newport Beach last weekend in his Scion tC (I was excited to drive it for the first time) I remarked, "I feel like I should be driving a spaceship through a galaxy somewhere".

For more information and track listings on this album (it's 2 CDs) go to: Yah, Armin is Dutch. Don't lie, you use Wikipedia as a valid information source too.

Victoria Secret Fashion Show (2009)

I'm watching the Victoria Secret Fashion Show, feeling fat because I'm fucking bloated from PMS. It's amazing, you should try it sometime....sarcasm of course. I can't help but feel like going to the gym after watching this show. Too bad I have no time for the gym since I have school and work and need sleep.

If I had hours and hours on end to devote to going to work out every day I'm sure that I could look like one of the models. Well except I'm only 5'4 so that's a problem. But hey if I was in crazy-job shape like Miranda Kerr or Marissa Miller, I'd be workin out at the gym in my damn underwear.

There was no Adriana Lima aka "omg I'm taking a shit while I take this picture"-face. My brother calls her that because apparently she looks consipated in all her photos according to him. She just had a baby a few weeks ago. Speaking of babies....

Did anyone notice that Heidi Klum just had a baby about a month ago? Yeah, she looks like she's never had 4 kids before haha. I gotta say that she is a pretty good role model for girls. Not disgustingly skinny or trampy. She's got Seal and her kids, plus this awesome career. She got lucky, that's for sure. I hope I look half as good as she does after having kids, jeebus!

Photobucket

PS: Dear Black Eyed Peas, my mom changed the channel during your performances because you sound awful live, so I didn't get to see more than 30 seconds of Will.I.Am. on the keytar, "singing" badly. Oh and Fergie please leave the sexy outfits to the VS models. I don't know what you're wearing but its big and green.

Plan B

Everyday there's advertisements on tv. Regular day to day things like cereals, Target commercials, and every other restaurant in town. But once in awhile there's a few that come on that seriously bother me. Recently I've seen the commercial for the PLAN B pill aired.

Photobucket
Plan B's website: http://www.planbonestep.com/
*only sold to 17 or older over the counter
*Only effective when taken within 72 hours (3 days) of sex
*Mild side-effects similar to a period
I understand that there are accidental pregnancies in our country all the time. I know quite a few people that are "oops" babies (but they were all from marriages, not one night stands). Also this week I'm writing an essay for my History class on 1970's womens' rights movement. How convenient.

In the 1960s and 1070s the idea of letting women use birth control was "insane"! It was ridiculous! Why should a women turn down a pregnancy? Its Gods purpose for women to give us children, preventing that role from occurring whenever it...occurs, would be offensive. This is what the older generation thought, but the young women saw it as liberating. A way to choose when a child should or shouldn't come into their life. It gave way for many women to have more time to dedicate to an extended education or a career. Sure this was great, but it was still seen as provocative. The traditional position of the woman was in the kitchen, in the home. As some say it, "get in the kitchen and make me a sandwich!"

But this commercial that plays multiple times a day is something entirely different, or is it? It similar in how it gives women who have made an "oops", a way out. It also states in the ad, "this is not a form of birth control". Unfortunately there are people out there that use abortions as their form of birth control. It's sad but it happens....this often leaves them with infertility problems in the future when they wish to have children. Perhaps women will see that as a reason to not get multiple abortions and just be responsible for the sex that they have.
PLAN B is simply a safety net for those who need it. I hope that if somebody is out there having sex that they are responsible enough to protect themselves from anything unwanted or unexpected.

This brings up something that I firmly believe: If you're not smart enough to get on birth control and use condoms, then you shouldn't be having sex with anyone. You could subject your partner to an unplanned child or venereal disease. A friend remarked via Twitter yesterday, "A diamond is forever, so is herpes". You gotta be responsible for yourself!

PLAN B will probably prevent alot of accidental pregnancies, but that doesn't mean go crazy. Women of the 60's and 70's saw the pill as a way to push back having kids so they could have a fuller and more complete life outside of being a mother. There's plenty more to life than just staying at home and raising your kids (though I do aspire to be a stay-at-home mom someday, I want my degree first). The women of the past saw this as empowering, it was their way to live for their own self-development.


What do you think of all the new PLAN B advertisements? Its been around for awhile but they're just now advertising it. Would you use it? Or will you just stick to using regular birth control and condoms?
