So my fabulous friend Michelle sent me this music video tonight. It's Tune-Yards' song "Bizness". Once again I found myself wishing I was as bad ass as a kid (the previous instance was with Willow Smith). Anyways, I think I found my tribe and/or cult if I were to have one (and if the people in this video actually were apart of a tribe/cult). I constantly wonder what I'm going to do with my life after college, and this is it. I'm going to wear face paint and make weird faces. I already love doing these two things so why didn't I realize this sooner. Oh and I also love dancing weird and staccato-like, OH AND FREEZING TIME...
Anyways, I hope you enjoyed the video as much as I did.
... On a completely separate side-note (that might be overly redundant) ha! ... I had a machete named after me tonight. THANK YOU STEPHEN CODEKAS FOR MAKING MY DREAMS COME TRUE.
THIS CAT OMG, is it real? Why does it look so weird? Why does it look like it just saw a ghost? I am SO intrigued.
This image makes me think of some crazy lady who carries around her dead cat because she thinks its still alive. Doesn't something like that happen in some movie?
Anyways, I wish I was COOL enough to carry around my pet cat... Too bad my cats are each 20lbs and live in Orange County while I'm in Santa Barbara :( I can't imagine a cat that would be chill enough to just sit in a purse all day, mine would flip a bitch, they would freak the fuck out, they would NOT be okay with it. Thats why I've come to the conclusion that this cat is dead. Aggggh so creepy! Aaaaand the girl's facial expressions are so plain and normal. I feel like this is one of those photos where its stating "You can't judge a book by its cover" ie) these girls may look sweet and normal, BUT THEY AREN'T! They are psycho and carry around their dead pets, and are friends with dead people.
As I write this I am listening to Judas by Lady Gaga for the first time. I have to say its catchy I really like the song, I like the "ahhh-AAAAHH-aaaah" part right before the chorus, listen to the song and you will know what I mean. It is reminiscent of Bad Romance, but I'm not sold on the chorus. I feel like it goes from an edgy song, to the familiar pop chorus. However, I still know that after many listens I will be in love with this song. Also I can't wait for the music video for this song there is going to be some great religious iconography mixed with some controversy. When I think about it "music video" might be the wrong term for the short-music-inspired films Lady Gaga creates.
The song has a creepy undertone, which I'm a fan of. If anyone knows me they can attest I LOVE CREEPY.
Okay so the song just ended, and I love the ending. The line "JUD-AS-GAGA" is used repeatedly in the song, I usually think its weird when musicians use their own names in their songs ie) Sean Paul (who can't get enough of his own name) but Lady Gaga does it tastefully somehow. Maybe its because its not a "real" name, or maybe its because she usually shortens it to "Gaga"... whatever I like it.
Listen to it, give me your opinion if you feel like it. Enjoy.
UPDATE: After 5 listens on itunes and reading through the lyrics I'M OBSESSED. I just bought the song on iTunes, and I never buy my music! (What?! I'm a poor college student)
I'm literally going to listen to this song on repeat all day as I flesh out my outline for my screenplay and drink coffee. Also, I like the chorus now... maybe I'm crazy?
My favorite lines: "Even after three times, he betrays me"
"I've learned our love is like a brick build a house or sink a dead body"
"In the most Biblical sense, I am beyond repentance Fame hooker, prostitute wench, vomits her mind But in the cultural sense I just speak in future tense Judas kiss me if offenced, or wear an ear condom next time"
OH THE CHORUS HAS GROWN ON ME: "I'm just a holy fool, oh baby he's so cruel"
I dropped my Blackberry about a month ago and it somehow broke the audio and messed up the operating system so that the camera application wouldn't open. I could make calls, I just couldn't hear people on the other end. Its awkward having a one way conversation. I couldn't take photos (this really killed me).
I've never actually broken a phone completely though. I dropped my first Blackberry in the jacuzzi... but that thing still works today. Its a little fucked up but it works better than my second Blackberry.
Today I made the switch. After a whole month of torture being unable to call my family and my friends; always having to ask others to borrow their phone so I could call; being limited to texting loooong ass stories; I finally made the switch. I walked into AT&T with the intention of completing a mission. My upgrade wasn't for another two weeks, but I showed them who was boss. I said, "Give me the latest and greatest iPhone, bitch" And my wish was their command.
I am happy again. I was born and raised an Apple girl, and I am back in the comfort of my homeland. I tested the waters with a Windows computer, I tried out the Blackberry phones, but here I am back in the warm embrace of Steve Jobs.
I LOVE THIS disclaimer: I did not create this beautiful piece of art
Maybe it is because I am an ignorant Californian or maybe it is because I secretly love stereotypes, without them humor would be less vulgar and probably less personal/more personal. Yes, I meant to say both. Think about it, actually I'll tell you (for fear of being misunderstood) less personal because you wouldn't be able to group together people to classify them and more personal because jokes would probably pin point people, which they can do now. But I personally think its funny to make fun or poke fun at an entire stereotype.
The artist writes"'America in my book' is an illustration of the United States, based on silly (and I might add ignorant) stereotypes through the eyes of a Californian (me)." I say HIGH-FIVE gurl, if you are reading this you should make one specifically for the state of California. CAN YOU IMAGINE? Nor-Cal vs So-Cal.... SO GOOD.
I'm a recent graduate of UCSB. I majored in Film and Media Studies. I like cats, burgers, eating in general, pop culture, film (obvs), consuming alcohol, taking photos, and sleeping. I spend most of my time mismanaging my time. Enjoy my thoughts, raves, and rants.
