My two new babies:
I'm beginning to think I have a problem.
No, fetish. Let's call it fetish.

No, fetish. Let's call it fetish.
So startin today...
Have any of you ever heard of ChatRoulette?
Well I have a whole other post for that, but this one is for things I should say before I forget.
AFTER ChatRoulette (cause it was so gross, and disturbing) Patty told me about Omegle, a text random-chat site that was basically CR without NUDITY :) Hurrah!
Anyway, I went on Omegle the day before, and since then Patty and I have been hooked. A lot of the times it's rly boring, some of the other time it can be gross. BUT good news is that you can just "disconnect" from said pervert, and they won't know anything about you! No name, no contact info, not even a username!
So, so far I have made some friends. But one in particular is who I wanna write about.
I've known him since...yesterday & I <3 him already
He is just the flippin cutest. 17, from Cali. Blond & tanned (I know, so NOT what I'm used to). I'm pretty sure plays guitar. Works out. Has six-pack. Hilarious. Actually gets MY humour. In conclusion: FML + WTF?!
Currently talkin to him for the past ohh..lets just say 3 hours to round it out (up or down, can't remember).
Worst (should be best) part? I think he likes me. AND he thinks I'm cute.
Even more horrible? This is the first time I've liked someone liking me in...years.
The absolute worst?? He's still in California. Ugh.
Don't worry I will have loads to share about this after. As well as a prequel post to this one about CR.
FMLFMLFMLFML

Never say never
So. I am going to the beebs. JB. JBieb. The Biebster. That guy with the weird hair. That guy with the girly voice. all also known as....JUSTIN BIEBER!!!
Don't ask why I'm as excited as I am...Not so sure.
I know I didn't exactly love him, but ever since Baby came out...I just can't get him out of my head!
It sucks that there are so many automatic haters out there, who don't give him a chance. Yes, he's younger, younger than most artists...But Britney Spears started when she was what 16? 17? Just like Nick Carter, JT and MJ even started when he was about 5. Come on, give him a chance!
Right now, yes, he's bubblegum...But that's because it's what he can sell! Not many people are gonna buy a soul album from a 16 year old white-boy from Stratford. I'm just sayin.
I say good for him! I'm pretty proud that he's Canadian...even though I've heard he can be a douche. But oh well, those are just rumours.
I'm just so so excited!
I wasn't going to go, but then Patty asked me two days ago if I was interested...OF COURSE! I think it'll be a super upbeat show and I've just never really been to anything but Rock/Modern Rock. Extra Bonus? I can FINALLY be on the floor at Rexall!! The one concert where everyone will be as tall/shorter than me!!! CRAZAY.
Patty and I were so so excited to buy tix today. Thank gosh we finish at Noon now, cause that's when tix went on sale. And since we had a test in Dave's class I was done at about 11! So to the library it was for the excruciating wait and constant refreshing of ticketmaster. Even at 12 though it didn't work, kept coming back "no tickets avaible that match your search" but after 11 minutes we got it!!! Thank gosh for the timed sessions though; I heard it sold out in 4 minutes!!!!
About 10 minutes after I bought them I went to eBay and Kajiji...just to see...haha. Guess what? Tix were already up, for about $200 EACH. BAH! I'm so so happy we got them.
Now let's just hope that Australia will come right after...I don't wanna have to give up the Biebs.

Music of a Generation
This is stolen material. From myself. From my old blog on msn. Enjoy and leave feeling cynical. I usually do. < 3
Well I know that this is something that most of you have probably already noticed but I thought that I'd point it out to the ones who seem previously disinterested.
All the way up until somewhere in the late 90's or 2000 music was constantly changing its "theme". Like the 50's was rockabilly, you know Elvis' smooth voice and Beatlemania. The 60's was the age of rock, the iconic Rolling Stones, The Who, and the more "mature" Beatles. The 70's was all about peace and love, a time to speak your mind and fight for what's right and just that feel-good disco; which sounded like Fleetwood Mac, or the Jackson 5. When the 80's came around...well they were 80's. Hard to describe (but you know it when you see it) except for leg-warmers, big hair, big earrings, skinny jeans, loud makeup, and Michael Jackson's solo career.And oh boy, the 90's. My era. It was the beginning of grunge, hip-hop, R&B and rap. I think this is where we started to broaden our minds and horizons...But suddenly (or not so suddenly) we've kinda started retreating and repeating. Some people like the same kind of stuff from the 90's and others like "classic" stuff from the 50's,60's & 70's and so it goes. There is no real "new" genre of music. I'm not sure if this is due to everything having already "been done" or just (another word for laziness). Nowadays it's not only the lack of a genre to call our own, but the fact that almost every song is "sampled". There seem to be almost no original beats! But that's how I know I've found a song or artist that I love. Original beats and a creative way to word the most amazing songs I could ever hear. I'm not sure whether I'm on a rant anymore, or just observing. Don't get me wrong, it feels great to grow up during an age where anything is possible. Pop, Rock, Hip-hop, R&B, Rap, Techno, Jazz, Blues, Country, everything is accepted and spread far and wide throughout the globe. It's amazing to see how the world has changed since those decades. Women in the workforce, Rascism/Ageism/Sexism etc is not tolerated, Power to the people. But a (HUGE) part of me feels nostalgic about an age that I wasn't able to even be a part of. It seems like lyrics have completely gone downhill (to me anyway).
A song written in the past really meant something, you could feel it in the singer's voice, regardless of who sang, as long as they were passionate. Each song held a story, or a lesson, to be listened to for generations to come. But now it has started to feel like a lot (not all, but most) artists are singing and writing tracks just for the sake of putting something out on the radio, or making a new album. A song now seems like it's filled with either the same line repeated over...and over...and over...and over (cough-cough-bep-cough) or many many da-da-da's (ahem sb) or la-la-la's. Honestly it's getting harder to differentiate one artist from another; I miss when it was a singer's unique voice that set them apart and made them a "star" (a la Anthony Kiedis from RHCP, or again MJ)
Now I am definitely not putting myself on a pedestal or saying that I could write better. I most likely couldn't. All I'm saying is that it's time to take a look back, and remember what made music great, what made us remember the classics, and why songs like "Gimme More", "That's not my name", or "Rock Your Body" will almost positively not be remembered for decades to come.
June 2010 Edit:
Lady Gaga is an exception to this horrible epidemic (hopefully);)
(at least she has "theatricality". That's something we need a hell of a lot more of too)

Your [heart's] grown old & rusted, burnt beneath the rising sun
So it's already June, and I bet that you feel like I'm ignoring you. Well...you're half right. It's not by choice though! Besides that Sports-Illustrated-worthy picture of me with an even sexier Rhino Beetle sidekick, I haven't been paying enough attention to you lately. I miss you, I feel like you should know.
If I could I would be with you everyday. Really. But honestly I can't even begin to tell you the hell that they've already started us on at school. No it's not just an excuse to get away from you. I already have 6 projects, one including running a travel agency (no lie), and having to choose where to go for practicum. I was so excited when I realized that this term would only be two months...but I never thought it would be two months of this...I will take a Documentation, Tours & Packages class, or even an Intro to Computer Res Systems class over this torture.
Just know that I miss you and love you and maybe you'll get lucky and I will send you another scantily clad picture of me with a new exotic creature ;)
My heart is hurting from having to say goodbye, since I do not know when we will see each other again. Sooner than later?
That's what they all say...

Te Amo
Just got back last night from 12 amazingly beautiful days in Costa Rica. It was the BEST trip I've ever been on, and I'm not just saying that. I think that I've honestly changed my view and figured some things out over the trip, which sounds really weird. Anyway I wrote a journal (mandatory for the class) and will hopefully be typing it up soon. I can't wait for everyone to see it! But obviously some names will have to be altered...LOL
I miss it so much already. I fell in love.
Pura Vida

Learn Some Respect
I just found out that a girl I went to high school with, died yesterday. It was one of the most shocking things I've ever heard and of course, it came from the biggest source of information nowadays, facebook.
She was so popular and bubbly and nice to everyone, it's hard to think of her as really being gone. I didn't get to know her very well, but she was the best friend of many friends of mine. I wish I had gotten to know her better...
One of the worst things though? See, one of her best friends (that I know of) created a memorial group for her. It was amazing to see the amount of people's lives that she touched and how many people really cared. But, even thought the group was just made today, it has already been hacked & spammed. It's honestly very disgusting to see these "people" posting fake comments on the wall about "who killed her" and "how they did it" and "what a [expletive] she was" etc. They didn't know her from Eve I'm sure, and to say those things about *anyone* has to be one of the greatest tragedies. She was a good person (as far as I know), and even still, no one deserves that. It makes me sick to think that this is what technology is bringing the world to. Spamming someone's memorial? No one would ever do that in "real life", so why do that online? No matter who died, it's a terrible loss for the people who were close to her, and the people who she knew. And it's horrible that people would take the time out of their day to terrorize a group like that. I am honestly disgusted and don't know what else to say...
One of her friends posted this on her personal profile's wall:
You can shed tears that she is gone
or you can smile because she has lived.
You can close your eyes and pray that she'll come back
or you can open your eyes and see all she's left.
Your heart can be empty because you can't see her
or you can be full of the love you shared.
You can turn your back on tomorrow and live yesterday
or you can be happy for tomorrow because of yesterday.
You can remember her and only that she's gone
or you can cherish her memory and let it live on.
You can cry and close your mind, be empty and turn your back
or you can do what she'd want: smile, open your eyes, love and go on.
<3 RIP A-M. B.

CR
I seriously can't believe Costa Rica is gonna be here (well I guess, I'll be there) in 1 week. It seems like not so long ago we were all complaining that we had to waaaaaaiit till December to here where the study tour would even be! And after that it seemed like forever until May would come. And when we were assigned our research papers it seemed like so much work, when the trip was soo far away.
I can't wait to have a break. I think that's the biggest thing. Everyone in class says the same thing too; it's just constant work in this program and the weekends don't even help (except to give you a few extra days to study for those bi-weekly exams or projects...)
A break from all of this "stress" and tension and personal...drama, is veryy much needed and appreciated. Yeah, we have to keep a "journal" while we're there. Which could be like work, but I'm actually pretty happy about it. I've always wanted to write about a trip, and it's always gotten...stupid. So this time, no stupidity cause it's for school. Well, at least less stupidity anyway.
Everyone's already started packing; I'm a night-before-er. That way I can see everything I need, and I'm not wondering if I packed something already or not...
Gosh. I sound like a bore right now.
It's the morning and it's right before work. I'm half asleep, give me a break. Or at least a piece of your kit-kat bar. When I'm more alert I'm sure I'll be more entertaining that right now
ONE WEEK.
I'm so not ready.
But I so so am :)
