It turns out I’m more lactose intolerent than I thought I was. Pictures soon!
I’m kidding. My camera USB cable isnt working ):
WTF. What is up with all these Obama bashings?
I cannot believe Perez would actually use some jerk’s 10 second comparison of Deval Patrick’s 2006 speech to Barack’s, and then make that assumption that his team plagiarized it from Deval. I cannot believe i’m even being pissed off with this cheap shot.
My, Team Billary’s getting reaaally desperate eh. God Perez, i know you’re all about the H-dog but all this slander is getting a little out of hand. Just stick to what you’re good at sweetie; silly trivial celebrity gossip. I once loved you but now you’re beginning to really put me off.
Teehee, i know this makes me look like an obamatron but I couldn’t resist a quickie.

“More than jazz, or musical theater, or morbid obesity, television is the true American art form.
Think of all the shared experiences television has provided for us.
From the moon landing, to the Golden Girls finale.
From Walter Cronkite denouncing Vietnam, to Oprah pulling that trash bag of fat out in a wagon.
From the glory and the pageantry of the Summer Olympics, to the less fun Winter Olympics”
Hear, hear, Kenneth Parcell. Man, i love 30rock so good. Thank you baby jesus for ending the WGA strike, i dont know what i would do if they kept on at it til april.

Why is everyone making such a big fuss over those Che Guevara/Cuban flag banners in Obama’s campaign offices. I mean, it is a rather bold statement to be making this far into the election (or at all, for a presidential candidate – oh the controversy!) but I’d give it to him – he knows his leaders.
There is so many things I want to say about Che that I really don’t know where to start. That he was a political figure, a mass murderer, an author, a terrorist, a physician and a poet. Granted violence was never an option to solving anything, I have so much admiration for him, talking about it just makes me want to well up in tears, no lie. Maybe I’m revolutionary leader romanticizer. If you only knew how much I respect him for what he stood for: equality and anti capitalism, the courage he had to try and unite latin america and his determination despite so many of his struggles and that twat of a Fidel Castro ditching him. Here was a man who believed so much in his causes that even in death he was fearless.
“I know you’ve come to kill me. Shoot, coward, you’re only going to kill a man.”
Those souvenir tshirts/mugs/caps/cups with his face printed on it repulses me and does nothing but cheapen the extraordinary life that this great man lived with such zeal and such spirit. I assure you as much as i give him my utmost respect, i get that he was never a truly perfect man. I get that he’s been constantly refered to as the 20th century Osama Bin Laden, and his beliefs bordered on totalitarianism. But really, you cannot read about this man and not gain an ounce of respect for him along the way; unless of course you’re a conservative capitalistic fascist pig, and then I have nothing to say to you.
Ernesto “Che” Guevara de la Serna is not an icon of rebellious cool, he was an idealist who feverently believed that socialism could bring about a better world, he is an inspiration for every human being that loves freedom and he still and always will be my hero.
“We cannot be sure of having something to live for unless we are willing to die for it” – Che Guevara

I’m having a pretty awful friday night, which is odd because my fridays are usually spent getting plastered at your favorite hideout. I won’t care for washing too much of my laundry on this journal but then if i can’t say it here, when can i ever?
Anyway D and i got into a fight. Like a proper one, with yelling and name-calling and sulking in our respective rooms. Shit, i care for that boy so much and all he does is act like a fucking blow job. Yea you heard me right. It’s the latest ‘it’ phrase along with ’sick’. The former is pretty self-explanatory (I have come to the conclusiont that there’s really nothing worse than being called that with the exception of Giant Vagina, Teabagging Party, Testicular Insertion and Fallopian Juice) If you have any other creative suggestions, please leave a comment i’d be interested to hear.
So basically because I was too pissed off to leave the house, i got stuck at home doing random interweb trawling which wasn’t a bad thing til for some reason i got all nostalgic for really old music. Old like 5 years ago and not cliff richards please. Anyway so i stockpile the Taking Back Sunday and DC from Ian and like dig up the rest of the Senses Fail, Alk3 crap from my junkyard CD box and omg, the flood gates of bad memories come pouring through. Honestly, i’d rather kill myself than have to live through the ages of 14-18 again. I’ve had some fantastic times but holy crap, my teenage angst has a body count much? For now, as much as the quarter-life crisis bullshit is sucking the soul out of me, i’ll stick to being a grown up.
And since this entire entry has been nothing but crude language, i’ve decided to top it all off with even more bad taste:
Haw haw. Poor Silly Mister Stephen Hawking.

Here’s something i wrote for the magazine because i was bored and am an annoying Seventeen Magazine writer try-hard. HAH,
not.
Somewhere in between trying the 4 hours it took to write this, it finally dawned on me why sensationalized tabloids and girly magazine are the scum of the literary world. It’s trivial, it’s flippant and it’s downright disgusting. How can someone who writes about “2008 Make-up Must Haves” look themselves in the mirror in the morning while the rest of the world is wrecked with racially charged turmoil? It’s simply unfathomable. Maybe some Karl lagerfeld & Oscar de la Renta hides away the shame.
Ugh. what did I get myself into.
Read it anyway because I’m too busy in the day churning out articles on ecotourism for publishing that makes me want to loathe myself to bother about wordpress for a while. Hope you cool kitties are well.
Admit it, even the most style-savvy among us struggle to find the right attire to wear on the correct occasion. Here is a two-part guide from a wishful fashionista to dressing well that promises to not make your parent go “tut-tut” or your friends walk five feet ahead and pretend to not know you.
As much as we strive to perfect that Kate Moss heroin-glam, James Dean urban-cowboy slick back or Nicole Richie’s effortless street chic, most of our attempts fall miserably short. Either we’re not six feet tall with a size two body, or our pockets aren’t deep enough to fork out that extra two hundred dollars for a plain tee with Comme des Garçons emblazoned on the top. But I get it, it’s only too easy to flip open one of the many trendy magazines and be influenced by stick-thin celebrity icons and their haute couture (high fashion and custom fitted) gowns that probably cost just slightly above my annual income.
Now, I’m not lambasting high fashion labels just because I’m poor and bitter. There’s nothing wrong with expensive bags or shoes because you don’t want to find your wardrobe just full of cheap rubbish. But I’m here to tell you that you need not blow your month’s pay check on clothes you’d only wear once. We’ll start from the very beginning.
1.Dress According to your Size
Nothing is more a sight for sore eyes than people wearing clothes that don’t fit them. The wrong pair of jeans can make your love handle spillage look worse than the Exxon Valdez disaster. And if you think muffin top plus-sized people are the worst offenders in this category, you’re wrong. Sure skinny people don’t have to worry about awkward bulges and lumps, but take a leaf out of Mary Kate Olsen’s book: drape yourselves in layers and layers of fabric and you’d look like a shrunken hunched up troll.
For the men, you aren’t Soulja Boy or some other rock star rapper from the Bronx, so stop wearing XXXL tees when you could probably fit into an M. If you want to look bigger, go to the gym.
2. Don’t be a Sucker to Trends
Last year’s it trend of ultra-high waistlines got almost everyone looking like they had tummies, and I’m pretty sure “two-terms-into-my-pregnancy” wasn’t in style. These days, all anyone is sporting is skinny jeans, which I admit done wonders for the behind (Sir Mix-a-Lot would be pleased) but if your body type isn’t anything but straight and narrow, makes your hips look as big as a barn. And, enough with the waist coats and leggings – Ring, ring, the 80’s called and they want all their clothes back.
My point is, these fashions come and go. If you’d rather look up-to-date, stick with minimal pieces you can re-use when the fad dies out. Wearing trends past their season is tackier than Lindsay Lohan’s acting in all her movies after The Parent Trap.
3. Basics are your Best Friend
If you can’t afford to continually update your wardrobe, at least buy basic items that you can dress up or down with accessories or subtle layering. Think along the lines of plain short-sleeve style, solid color t shirts or a medium rinse pair of jeans. Try to avoid anything bejeweled, overly printed or with slogans. Most of them aren’t long lasting and you really want to avoid wearing that “I Heart My Girlfriend/Boyfriend” t-shirt if things don’t work out.
Be careful when accessorizing though. Less is always more. Do as Coco Chanel says, look into the mirror before you leave the house and take off some if you have a dozen already dripping from your ears, neck and arms. Yes, this advice applies to both genders.
4. Thrift It
Try the Salvation Army if you don’t mind giving older clothes a second spin. You might have to do some hunting but it’s a price to pay for good bargains. Don’t underestimate the secrets your neighborhood shops or warehouse fashion retailers might keep. Dismissing places just because your parents get their clothes there is a bad idea. Worst case scenario, you don’t find anything; best case scenario, you find something and they put it in their pile of clothes at the take-out counter and pay the bill for you.
Your last resort at freshening up your wardrobe without spending any money – raid someone else’s wardrobe. Your grandparents might have something in there you could pass off as vintage.
5. Dress for the right occasion
One of my biggest fashion peeves: denim under almost any circumstances is not formal. Neither is wearing a t-shirt under a blazer, you hear that boys? Your clothes don’t have to be budget-breaking; they only have to look the part. When in doubt, it’s better to dress up.
Pairing the right shoes and bag is also equally important. I was taught to match my bag or belt with my shoes but you don’t always have to. Just make sure you don’t commit a giant faux pas like carrying a casual sling or back pack to a black-tie ball. Last piece of advice for the girls – anything that shimmers, glitters or catches the light is usually reserved for partying at night. Going into the office looking like an over-sized disco ball warrants taunting from everyone.
At the end of the day, you might want to ignore all guidelines you’ve heard because fashion is really meant to be kept fun. Experiment, don’t take it too seriously but just be careful about looking like a trend train wreck. You know how you look at your parents in old washed out photographs and laugh at how they look with their weird hair and silly clothes? You don’t want to be the next one.

Tennessee emo-rockers Paramore dropped by for Gigwise’s Tuborg Webchat Wednesday today (February 6) and, as expected, in a year-and-a-half of chats it was our busiest one yet.Fans from all over the globe, including their huge Brazilian community, posed their questions to guitarist Josh Farro and bassist Jeremy Davis and there was a variety of hot topics talked about – including religion and the US Presidential race.
When asked who they were backing to be the next President, Josh replied: “I haven’t really looked into US politicians that much this year. I really hope Hillary Clinton doesn’t get elected cause she’s crazy!!!!”
In response, Renan wrote: “The US needs a crazy person in charge, no offence.” Before Josh replied: “Why do we need a crazy person in charge? What good would that do?”
Wow, he sounds really informed. I guess that’s why children aren’t allowed to vote. I don’t hate the band but I loathe ignorant immature little shites. Please, don’t even attempt to make a comment on something if you don’t follow it. It just makes you sound sickeningly uneducated. Ugh, go read a book or study for your AP or something.
Like anyone is really going to take political advice from a hotshit band with bad hair. Stupid twat.
