Bizness



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.


UPDATE:

What did I get myself into?

Cat's in the Bag?



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.

Thanks for listening to...errrr reading my rant

Wear an Ear Condom Next Time



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"

GAAAAAH I LOVE IT, LADY GAGA IS MY SAVIOR



UPDATE #2: ... I wasn't kidding

iPhone



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.

America in Stereotypes

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.

WTF James Franco




I want to know what's going on here, especially since the following pictures posted by James include naked women covered in blood with swords. View the rest of the photos here

UPDATE: I guess I should of watched the videos he has been posting too:

James Franco on WhoSay

UPDATE #2: Thanks for deleting the image and video, James Franco. Way to make this blog entry meaningless. For those of you who did not see the image here is a tiny thumbnail that saved on my facebook page, sorry I didn't screencap the image. I guess I learned don't trust James Franco, or maybe it was his PR people. Hmmm... I hope I don't get in trouble for posting the thumbnail.


Update #3: I found a larger image, and replaced the non-working image. Take that! haha

ST. PATTY'S DAY

Okay so I'm a little bit drunk, but as I was laying my head down on my pillow to rest for the night I remembered that I wanted to make a Saint Patrick's Day post. And I deserve to because I am IRISH. Seriously, my mom's maiden name is McCormack! So here it is, as drunk as it should be. ;)

So last night I watched Leprechaun 5:In tha Hood with a couple of my friends. I gotta say this is a BAD FUCKING ASS movie. The Leprechaun speaks in rhymes the whole time, he smokes weed, he fucks shit up, he is my hero.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GX0qvCEcTWw (sorry, it won't let me embed it)

I gotta say, so many quotable lines that I will be using the rest of my life.
  • "We're like Robin Hood, cept we robbin' tha hood"
  • "Curious aroma... tha BOMB??? , aaaah tha bomb: a friend with weed is a friend indeed. But a friend with gold is the best I'm told"
  • "Chow get down hard with his funky self.... Chow has the music in ME!"
I mean maybe, JUST MAYBE, I should have watched the first 4 before I watched the 5 sequel, but oh-fucking-well. I mean Ice-T stars in this movie, and he is basically a family friend 'cause my dad took photographs of him in the 80s (maybe 90s). Anyways, fo'reals in my house we have a gold record of Ice-T's hanging for errrrbody to see.THATS HOW BAD-ASS MY FAMILY IS. BUUUUUUT now all I want to see is Leprechaun 6:BACK IN THA HOOD.

So to celebrate today I made people coffee, cause some unfortunate fuckers still have finals (may the lord be with you) then I FINALLY got my eyebrows DID, I officially look like a human being again. Then I went searching for birthday shit ie) shoes and a dress. I ended finding these sexy-ass shoes that I TOTALLY LOVE. So I'm stoked, I'm gonna look hot in Vegas (in one week) I also tried on about 20 things from Urban Outfitters and nothing looked good on me, they are officially going down the shit hole. Good luck staying in business, my friend. I did buy a shirt though, but I dunno if I will wear it in Veg-ass... Czech out tha' new shoez:


&



DASSS RIGHT. I'm super excited for Veg-ass.

Also after Da-Lovely roommate, Paige, was off werk we went to McDonald's for some Shamrock Shakes. Fuck Yeah. The only REAL way to celebrate an Irish Holiday. And for the rest of my night I drank a fawdie, iced some bros, and drunk facebooked. I gotta say this was a good Saint Patrick's Day. Beannachtaí na Féile Pádraig!

PS- In my drunken state I made Dave Franco my backround image on my laptop. The best part is... I'm borrowing my dad's laptop cause my screen is getting fixed. Sorry dad! (or you're welcome) also I'll probably forget about this in the morning, pleasant surprise? Yussss.
