Emo kids

"Pain doesn't hurt ... when its all you've ever felt " - Unknown

So I went to Tim's for coffee some with my girlfriends on sunday night, and there was this emo guy sitting in the corner of the shop at a table all alone with his fringed bangs sweeeping over his face covering it. We're pretty sure he was pretend calling someone on his cell phone....but anyways we overheard him on the phone.. and all we could catch was " Sometimes people don't understand that I need to be sad" ... I mean (lol) he makes a good point sometimes we do need to feel sad but it was such a cliche thing to hear him say and so sterotypical... well we found it amusing none the less... Usually if Im having a hormonal day I just tell people that Im feeling Emo, So what exactley is Emo? and how is it defined?

EMOS
Yes, Emo is short for emotional. Emo is one of the hardest things to explain because the are viewed as suicidal, cry babies, sensitive or weak...

"Suicide is painless it's only life that hurts" - Unknown

Although some people make them selves appear emo it's just the hair and looks emo is more of a state of mind and as the name states its emotional and harder to fake.
"Emo: Like a Goth, only a lot less darker and much more Harry Potter" - Unknown

Emo music is something that is rather ambiguously defined. It can be something that has heavy punk chords and influence such as what we've heard from the Sex Pistols, but it can also be something with soft melodic characteristics like what we've heard from the Cure. This is why emo is such a hard concept to define. It is an expression of emotion in some way. The Cure have been going strong now for over 20 years, writing songs that could make any 16 year old boy break into tears, even the football players. Their catchy guitar riffs and honest, emotional vocals have been mimicked by almost every emo artist to date. Another band from across the pond that has definitely influenced the emo music scene is Depeche Mode. They might be a primarily electronic band, but their moody lyrics and loner style has crept into every facet of the emo scene. Loosely defined, Emo music is music that is highly emotional and very straight forward in the expression of that emotion.

Emo is not only a classification or a type of music it's also taken over the way one expresses themself by dressing. It includes the tighter fiting pants to the dyed-black or dark hair with it covering your face. The longer hair in front with the spikes in the back is also a more Emo- or emotional look to dressing. Most times females and some males using heavy dark eyeliner or other makeup.

So one of my girlfriends asked me "Is it true that in Mexico they kill emo kids?" To that I had no reply so I went to my reliable Mexi sources at dance class and asked what the dealio was with this whole emo death rumour. It was explained to me that emos in Mexico (more in refernece to males) are considered to be homosexual because of the way they dress and act( makeup and being sensitive). I think its important to note that Mexico is a country where the religion is practically 98% Roman Catholic and because Mexicans are sooo hardcore catholic being homosexual is deeply frowed upon therefore leading to emo kids ( males specifically) to be targeted. Even to this day many homosexuals in Mexico are still in the closet because it is soo taboo... Another fator why emo kids are disliked among Mexican society is because of thier "suicidal image" and of course that is also frowned upon in the catholic religion. Dissatisfied with those being the only reasons that Emo Kids were being persecuted and killed I decided to investigate further and found several articles that explained what really triggered or initialized this movement.

"The violent attacks are partly being blamed on an on-air rant by ‘Televisa’ TV personality Kristoff who recently called emo ‘fucking bullshit’. Kristoff subsequently called for an end to the violence but it is thought he make take the fall if the government blames Televisa for the trouble...
On March 7 around 800 young people in the city of Querataro amassed against emos in the city resulting in many violent attacks, and a week later a similar incident occurred in Mexico City. Emos in both cities responded to the attacks by marching peacefully through the center of the cities...
Meanwhile, Chile is also seeing a wave of violence against emo, with TV station Chilevision showing an attack on a group of PokEMOns by skinheads. Emo’s in Chile are known as PokEMOns." - www.nme.com

It makes me wonder are we all a bit Emo? Maybe in order to function day to day we repress the little emo kid living inside of us...

"Sick of cryin.. tired of trying, yea im smiling but inside in DYING"

Its sooo Juicy !

So my family has a Jack La Lanne Power Juicer, but my mom hasn't used it in a while. I've been asking her to juice stuff for me cus well even though its not rocket science to juice I had no clue on how to take it apart for clean up. Anyways its Sunday morning and I figure now was more than an appropriate time to get familiar with the ins and outs of the juicer because of my new fitness regimen.

Once I got familiar with taking it apart I started Juicing and to my surprise it was realllly juicy. I had never seen this juicer in action but it really does work :)

So I made Carrot, apple strawberry juice. It was sooo delish :P mmmm!

I do have to say Warning, careful with carrtos cus they stain... I never would have thought but they do.

This is the part where I wasnt to fond of the juicer, the CLEAN UP :( Boooo I hate to wash dishes as it is but cleaning the juicer was not fast at all took me longer to clean it up and wash than it did for me to juice.

Anyways b/c it was easy to make, puting together and taking apart but sucked in clean up I think I might have to rate this Power Juicer 4 out 5 too bad clean up took so long.

P.S. I Love you

Review:

Oh my fukken eyes!!! I NEVER expected to cry so much ( not sure if its cus I was hormonal at the time but I cried like a baby) the way the set up the scenes its so touching and emotional. Im usually not a crybaby but I kept telling myself after each cry fest that I wouldnt cry anymore only to cry once more over and over again... The story line was sortta predictable it wasnt the best movie but not the worst either. I guess its a good movies for girls to watch with thier girlfriends or mom if u wanna sit around and cry. Im not a huge fan of Hilary Swank I dont find her attractive I still think shes hotter as a dude with a ball of socks stuffed down her pants in "Boys dont cry". Maybe another actress could have convinced me to like this movie more than I did. I dunno maybe not all in all it was a good cry movie 4 out 5 for crying :(

OnDemand

I’ve recently upgraded my digital cable experience by upgrading the type of digital box I had to one that has PVR (personal video recorder). Well in addition to that we’ve also added some extra programming to our cable. Now I’m slowing becoming a TV whore with more channels to watch, my favorite shows available On Demand and the internal PVR… how could I not watch? Lately my life has come to a nightly routine Sex and the city from 1130 – 100 then I go On Demand catch up on Dexter season 3 (1 hr) and at 2 Yoga back to back till 3 …. Eeek!

This is where I’m glad that I’m not single anymore, because all this programming at my disposal plus my PVR… it’s like my NEW BFF, who needs a bf? Lol. I’ve already caught up with all of Summer Heights High half way through Dexter season3, Half done with Californication season 2 and now FOTC – Flight of the Conchords season 2 has started so HBO is my new friend : ) I love it !

YouAddiction

So recently I have become increasingly addicted to youtube, call it boredom, call it being a net loser, or call it what ever you want. It first started out as an occasional user and I had some gibberish user name because it was never my intention to share it with any of my friends. However, when I started adding videos to my favorites that’s when it started to get out of hand. So in my attempt to be a little more organized this year I tried to tidy up my account and put things into playlist folders. Well it became a bit of a headache. Finally I decided a new account with a name I actually like was in order iluvserendipity, now I’m half way done saving my old videos into proper folders plus some new additional video I thought of along the way. I have a bit of everything from music, yoga, cultural, fitness, makeup, and even a folder titled Lol, Rofl, Lmao where I just add random things that make me laugh. There’s just one thing missing though, I wanna start adding videos… but I don’t know what yet. I thought of all the things I like to do and even my talents and really I’m not sure what exactly but soon enough I’m going to be making my break into the youtube world. Anyways Just gonna add some videos from my playlist folders … enjoy!
