i'm as confused as you are, sir.
something happens here.
something strange and vague and ambiguous and unpredictable and bizarre and odd and bipolar.
clicks above!
how bizarre.
It could be kwokwy, but it's actually VIVIAN!
I am 17, and I try to do art, which sometimes fail in spectacular, self-destructive ways!
Other times, it works out relatively fine, and I am happy for the moment!
I like thinking. Thinking is fun, especially if you're listening to music. You know, nice music.
Being close to someone works pretty good as well, I guess.

i am dazed and confused!
This is where i put all my un-personal items out on display.
If you break anything, you will be forced to pay for it!
Prices start from an ice cream cone cupcake and counting. :)
The best thing that music has given us is the enjoyment of watching other people make utter fools of themselves. For example, the seemingly overly self-secure fat woman in the audience during a concert who belts out the chorus without a care in the world.
(By any chance, if you ARE indeed a fat woman, please stop singing. No one likes your singing.)
When the singer (vocalist, rather) does it, though, it's COOL. This is called the theory of 'being in the right place at the right time'. Anyways, don't you love it when singers go insane on stage? Like, insane. Like, possessed by hilarious-but-harmless rock demons insane. Like, injection of heroin made of morphine and a billion souls of dead candy ravers pumped on ecstasy insane.
'Cos I do. :)
CASE STUDY #1
Karen O (Yeah Yeah Yeahs) She's like a female Marilyn Manson, ohmygosh! Except she's actually female, which instantly makes her a hundred times cooler! Also, her lyrics aren't retarded, so that helps.
Yeah Yeah Yeahs - Rich
Yeah Yeah Yeahs - Miles Away
I like her bangs. :) And as you can see, she dresses quite nicely. Really nicely, in fact. Yay!
CASE STUDY #2
Alice Glass (Crystal Castles) (She's the one on the left, by the way. The guy on the right is the person who pretends to be doing something during concerts.) She came up with grandmother chic! Search it up. She made BLACK cool. I mean, again.
Crystal Castles also has some of the best electronic music I've heard, so yay! She screams too, so yay! And, she's actually quite pretty, so triple-yay!
Crystal Castles - Atlantis to Interzone (remix)
She looks cool, doesn't she?
YES. Yes, she does. Look at her red shirt! My gosh <3333
CASE STUDY #3
Mike Patton (Faith No More, Mr. Bungle, Tomahawk, a billion other bands, some video games etc) I...uhh, can't really say much. He's just crazy.
Faith No More - Poker Face/Chinese Arithmetic
Take THAT, Lady Gaga!
Tomahawk - God Hates A Coward
Gas masks! GAS MASKS! How awesome is that?
Answer: Very.
CASE STUDY #4
Marilyn Manson (Marilyn Manson haha ego!) I always did like crazy, borderline psychotic people, at heart. :) Too bad he's ugly! :( (I'm actually pretty sure they kill people like this at birth in some cultures)
Marilyn Manson - Antichrist Superstar
His actions are really cool, though. Slow motion kiss yay!
On a side note .... ... Life isn't very fair, sometimes.
Marilyn Manson - The Beautiful People
You have to admire his ... courage or complete lack of inhibitions, though. :) Yes, that is a garter. Mwahahahahas it does get kinda uncomfortable at around 3:17, though.
CASE STUDY #5
Basement Jaxx Yes, the whole band is shitfaced crazy. Or incredibly high on drugs. Whichever works.
Basement Jaxx - Where's Your Head At?
Incredibly, incredibly crazy. Also, the main guy can't sing, which is simply adorable.
I wish our world had more of them. How interesting it would be! :D
safety through fear of violence
Thursday, August 13, 2009 6:26 PM
Watching safety videos is actually really funny, especially when they overly focus on the violence. Illogical, illogical violence.
This kinda reminds me of Final Destination. MWAHAHA 0:49.
LESSON OF THE DAY: No matter what you're doing, you're going to get killed in gruesome but unintentionally hilarious ways! No. Matter. What. You're. Doing.
This must have been the most de-motivational workplace safety video ever.
Alas, we have a challenger.

This has got to be the best use of random stock film footages ever, in a music video.

5:39 PM
if I get lower than 85 for art, I'm going to kill myself.
this is what is called repentance
Monday, August 10, 2009 10:30 PM
In keeping with the theme of dramatic contrast, here's a song about anorexia! :D
Also, I need to feel better about myself after seeing all those ... things.
Manic Street Preachers - 4st 7lb
It's a static video, so you can read the lyrics!
I eat too much to die And not enough to stay alive I'm sitting in the middle waiting
Days since I last pissed Cheeks sunken and despaired So gorgeous sunk to six stone Lose my only remaining home
See my third rib appear A week later all my flesh disappears Stretching taut, cling-film on bone I'm getting better
Karen says I've reached my target weight Kate and Emma and Kristin know it's fake Problem is diet's not a big enough word I wanna be so skinny that I rot from view
I want to walk in the snow And not leave a footprint I want to walk in the snow And not soil its purity
Stomach collapsed at five Lift up my skirt my sex is gone Naked and lovely and 5st. 2 May I bud and never flower
My vision's getting blurred But I can see my ribs and I feel fine My hands are trembling stalks And I can feel my breasts are sinking
Mother trys to choke me with roast beef And sits savouring her sole Ryvita That's the way you're built my father said But I can change, my cocoon shedding
I want to walk in the snow And not leave a footprint I want to walk in the snow And not soil its purity
Kate and Kristin and Kit Kat All things I like looking at Too weak to fuss, too weak to die Choice is skeletal in everybody's life
I choose my choice, I starve to frenzy Hunger soon passes and sickness soon tires Legs bend, stockinged I am Twiggy And I don't mind the horror that surrounds me
Self-worth scatters, self-esteem's a bore I long since moved to a higher plateau This discipline's so rare so please applaud Just look at the fat scum who pamper me so
Yeh 4st. 7, an epilogue of youth Such beautiful dignity in self-abuse I've finally come to understand life Through staring blankly at my navel.
On a side note, Twiggy was really pretty.
this is why you're fat
10:12 PM
Ah, yes, America. You beacon of dangerous eating.
Seriously. It's fucking freaky. It's like a grotesque spectacle of disgustingly tantalizing violence. I, just, can't, stop, LOOKING.
The Rubik Cubewich Awww, this is just so cute. The ... fat with a tiny sliver of pork inbetween doesn't really look appetizing, though (I'll still eat it).
Toasted Ravioli Deep-fried ravioli. Actually, I have a feeling this is going to be one horrible experiment gone wrong.
Mork’s Dork From Ork A half pound duck and pork patty, cheddar cheese, seven pieces of maple bacon, sauteed onions and zillion island sauce on a kaiser roll. Now, this is just obnoxious. WHO EVEN EATS THAT MUCH?! (Answer: Fat people, apparently)
Snicker Bar Pancakes Three buttermilk pancakes topped with chocolate syrup, caramel, peanuts and whipped cream. Oh, that's ... pretty.
The Pink Panther A brioche bun with cotton candy filling. Your mouth is going to be as dry as a sugar desert baked in a candy sun.
Macaroni and Cheese Pizza mwahahaha useless carbohydrates
The Smoker A half pound ground ribeye, sirloin, prime rib patty topped with Havarti cheese, seven pieces of maple bacon, sauteed onions and smoked pepper mayo. You know what I said about Mork's Dork.. (stupid name grr!)? Just forget it.
The Pursuit Of Awesomeness Ice Cream Sandwich Vanilla ice cream with raspberries and blueberries between two chocolate brownies. This is actually a really, really good idea! Consequences be damned!
Flapjack Fiasco Layers from bottom to top: pancake; cookie dough; pancake; peanut butter and jelly; pancake; chocolate and bananas; pancake; caramel, oreo, marshmallow, sprinkles, M&M’s; pancake; caramel buttercream frosting granished with Trix cereal. ...there is such a thing as too much, though.
Magical Rainbow Tower Of Dreams Ten layers of multi-coloured chocolate chip sponge cake, each separated with a layer of icing. Ditto.
I really shouldn't be looking at these. It's getting me hungry. :(
rock n roll school!

This is a nice music video. :)
Yo La Tengo - Sugarcube
I love bands which settle so comfortably in their niche genre and never really attempt to break big. Making music for the fun of it, how poignant. How wonderfully indie.
I love Yo La Tengo.
large hadron collider
it's all slipping past me
I have no idea what to put in here for the time being, but we will deal with it!
Why doesn't everything turn out the way we want it to?
It won't be as fun, of course, but still.
