Enjoy

I've been surfing trough some blogs earlier today. I was actually not supposed to do that, I was just gonna check my e-mail and have no idea how I ended up on those blogs... Anyway, I see that most of the blogs out there, or at least the one I came across today, are written by 13-14 year old girls and that in itself is not a problem, and if it is, it's not my problem but what disturbed me is how they look. In most of the blog, the girls had photos of themselves as headers and not once did I guess the age right. I mean all of them looked older then me. Of course I know this, it's not news for me that the 14ties out there look like 10 years older then their age, I see them hanging out in the shopping malls late in the afternoon, I see them on the bus, I see them at MC Donald's the very rare times I wonder to that place, but I stopped guessing peoples ages a long time ago. Actually since I was that same age (14) because when I used to go out, I could never figure who were my age and who was not until I came up with a theory (well there are probably others that have though the same) that says: Whenever a girl look like she's over 20, she's under and whenever a girl look like she's under 20, she's probably around 20. Easy right? Just like Thales theory!
I feel sorry for these girls. I know how it feels to be 14. I was 14 as well you know and I too wanted to grow up and become an adult because sometimes people treated you like one and other times they treated you like were still a child. It's a really difficult age but one have to enjoy it. Don't grow up too fast. Adulthood is not that fun you know. I remember when I was 14, I still sometime played in the playground or with dolls and took it easy, I took everything as it came. My sister is 13 next year and I'm glad she's not becoming a Bratz doll-girl with 3 kg of foundation, 381 layers of mascara, orange colored skin, a bra full of tissue paper and platina blond hair.
I hope some 14 year olds read this, but I don't think they'll go wash off the weird orange tan and the hundred of foundation layers, nor will they go play with dolls either. I don't expect them to but I just want to pass the message: "Enjoy your life, have fun and don't try to be an premature adult, you'll get enough of the adultness boredom in your life!"

I just realized Bratz don't have noses.
That's FREAKY!

Sunday, lazy lazy day

I like this kind of sundays. Nothing special to do. I'm half watching Americas Best Dancing Crew on MTV and reading blogs. The sun is fading away in the sky. Beautiful sunday.

I got ¿flowers?
I honestly don't know what it's called but I like it

Song of the week

If you scroll down a bit, you'll see a post on "New Soul" and figure out that it has to be the song of the week. And Yes, it is, but it's not alone. The other song I couldn't stop listening to this week was "Daisy" by Kevin Johansen. I think the views on YouTube went up by at least a 100 just because of me!

so here it goes:


I prefer this live version.

Anti-climax


You know how sometimes you go to a great concert that you have been waiting for for months, or you go to a super party and have a lot of fun and then the next day you wake up with a feeling of emptiness? It's like all the excitement, happiness and fun from the previous day has just faded away and been replaced by a weird feeling of nearly sadness or irritation. Well that's how I woke up this morning. I hate this feeling especially because I know there's no reason for it to be there. I just want it to disappear and the feeling from yesterday to return. Because yesterday, I had fun. The concert was great. The artists were great. There were a lot of people there, we got great response, the local press was there. I would say it was a success. There were only 2 things that could have been better:
-We should have gotten 3 artist/bands because the concert was over earlier then planned :-/
-My speech. Oh my god my speech! It was honestly the worst speech made in human history. Because of the mic crisis, that thanks to a friend was fixed, I got so stressed that I couldn't prepare good enough for the speech. I, fortunately, didn't have to make it in the begging because a local climate-politician did it, but between the acts to extend the time a bit, we though I could hold an improvised speech. Bad idea. Bad bad idea. First of all, I stood too far away from the mic, so the mixing guy told me to go closer and I said "OK" as an answer to him in the mic! (hahaha! That's actually kind of funny!) Then I just forgot everything. There was a total blank in my head, I couldn't remember a shit, I took out a paper were I had the speech written down and I couldn't read my own handwriting, everything was just blurry, so I gave up, I just thanked the Politicians for supporting us and said something like "here's the next artist". The good thing is that all my friends applauded and although I know it was a very very bad speech, I don't really care. I'll never see the people who were there again and I hope my friends are understanding enough to get that I was extremely nervous. The weird about me when it comes to speeches or presentations in class is that I'm not scared, I don't mind doing it and I'm not nervous before like others normally are, but I get nervous during the speech/presentation and that's even worse. Yesterday, when I came home, I searched for courses to overcome "stage fear" and become a better speech holder because, although I survived yesterday, there's no way I'm gonna let this happen again.


Pic by the local paper:
(I don't take such professional pictures :-( )

But these are mine:



By the way, I'm really proud of myself for making this happen and holding a speech although it seemed more like a speech held by a teletubbie!

CRIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIISIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIISS

When I ordered the microphones I forgot to order the goddamn thing to have the mic on. It's kind of hard to hold the mic and play the guitar at the same time!


I'm gonna die!

The big day

No, it's not my wedding. But the concert that I've been planning is taking place today. It's an acoustic concert to celebrate the Earth Hour 2009 and this is the first time I plan and organize a concert and the thing that scares the hell out of me is that I'm not even a little bit nervous. I'm just not and I can't understand why. 3 nights ago, I woke up at 4 and couldn't go back to sleep because I was thinking about all the details around the concert and I was so nervous and stressed that I couldn't think of anything else. Now everything is in its place and there's no reason for it to go wrong and that could be an explanation for why I'm so calm, but I'm gonna hold a speech (that i haven't learned yet) god damn it and I'm still not a tiny bit nervous nor stressed. The only thing that's making me nervous is the fact that I'm not, and that's crazy!!!
This has to be some kind of reversed psychology thing. I'm probably so stressed and nervous that I have reached a stage of complete calmness.



Remember to turn off the lights

It's snowing?

It's snowing? "It's snowing" with a question mark because it is snowing, it's snowing a lot, I can see it from my window and I wonder why? All march have ever done in his 3 previous weeks is to play spring, with sunshine almost every day, with flowers blooming and with birds waking me up in the morning. So why is it snowing now?

Sick & Tired

I'm sick and tired of this situation. I'm tired of getting people to do stuff for me, tired of depending on others to drive me somewhere because I can't walk longer then to the car, tired of getting misunderstood all the time.

It's hard to be independent when you're sick.


I hate to be dependent on others.

New Soul

I'm a new soul
I came to this strange world
Hoping I could learn a bit 'bout how to give and take
But since I came here, felt the joy and the fear
Finding myself making every possible mistake

Lovely song. Absolutly lovely. I somehow came across a cover yesterday and today I became obssesed with the song and I've seen about 300 covers now. A lot of them are good, a lot are bad and a lot are just boring. I wanted to share the best ones (Yes this is a day of sharing).

Number 3: Irma


Number 2: Ed Rhee


Number 2 as well: Kina Grannis


Number 1 (my favourite): Benjamin Siksou


I'm so happy! I discovered 3 new artist! I love when I find new music to listen to!

Disney!

I love Disney! Ive seen all the movies. At least the old good ones and I just love them. There's a magical feeling over Disney and Disney land is a truly magical place to be. Probably not so magical if you work there and have to go around all day long with a costume and be extra polite to people but magical if you´re a kid and have seen all the commercials about Disney and dream about how you want to go there but never say anything because you're very shy and then one day your parents surprises you and you siblings with a trip to Paris and Disneyland!!!
SO, today I found a lot of Disney photos on MSN and I really liked them and wanted to share them.

Annie Leibovitz took the pictures. I haven't heard of her before but one thing is for sure and that's that she's really talented. The photos are just beautiful.


Zac Efron and Vanessa Hudgens
This could have been so much better if Vanessa have posed better. I know that the sleeping beauty is sleeping so she should be a bit stiff but her eyes are open so this is after the kiss. Ok, basically it looks like Vanessa is not comfortable at all and the position of her head makes it look like she don't want this and just wants to run away.


Beyonce as Alice, Lyle Lovett as the March Hare and Oliver Platt as the Mad Hatter
I think Beyonce ruins this pic. The look on her face is good for a Sasha Fierce -or whatever her alter ego is called- video but not for Alice in Wonderland. Alice should have an innocent and a bit confused look, but not this.

David Backham as Prince Phillip from Sleeping Beauty

Mikhail Baryshnikov as Peter Pan, Gisele Bündchen as Wendy and Tina Fey as Tinkerbell
Apparently Mikhail Baryshnikov is a ballet dancer, but when I first saw the picture I though it was T-Bag from prison break and that would have been a bit wrong... hehe...

Close up on Tina Fey. Funny pic.

Scarlett Johansson as Cinderella.
Perfect.


Whoopi Goldberg as the Genie
A really funny picture love it.

Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony as Jasmin and Aladdin
I really like this one too. JLO is beautiful as always. Marc Anthony looks OK. But they should have looked in the same direction, then it would have been perfect.

Jessica Biel as as Pocahontas
Although it kind of looks like an ad for running shoes, it's a really nice pic. I love the colors.

Rachel Weisz as Snow White
Her neck makes her look old.

I love the fact that the photografer has used "older" celebrities (Old in Hoollywood years) for these pictures, not only "younger" celebrities. I personally love this one with Julianne Moore and wouldn't have liked it if it were Lindsay Lohan for example.

Julianne Moore as Ariel and Michael Phelps

Peeking in

I was on my way to my place when I passed my neighbors door. She seemed very stressed and had left the door open while she was searching for something. Her keys I guess. I could hear her run around in the apartment and I took advantage of this moment to take a looong look inside. It's really interesting, I think, to see the inside of someones place, especially if you know that the apartment is built in the same way that yours, but still when you look inside it seems so different that, although the walls are just the same, it feels like a whole different place. What's even weirder is when you move and then for some strange reason get the chance to go in to your old house, I don't why I'm saying this because it has never happened to me but I believe it must be very weird. I mean it's weird enough for me to pass my old house and see people coming out or lingerie hanging on the balcony or a different curtain in what used to be my room. I actually feel jealous. It's strange I know, but I think it's because the picture of people living in my room is destroying the nice picture I have of my room. This happens even if I didn't have any particular care for that house or even if I didn't like the house at all, but it the same feeling you get (and this has happened to me) when you give away your old clothes to your mum to give away and she gives them to her friends daughter and you see this girl walking around in your clothes. It doesn't matter if you hated that top or never wore it, it's still kind of yours. This can get really irritating in 2 cases: 1. The girl have no sense of style and puts your old navy skirt with a bright pink (or worse bright yellow) top or worse 2. The girl have a great sense of style and combines the skirt you never wore because you didn't know how to, with some great shoes and a nice top and looks fabulous AND gets compliment for the outfit while you sit there green with envy imagining how you'll start screaming "It's mine!" and rip it off her ass!
Anyway I think you got the point! ehhh! What was point? I don't know...

Too complicated or too lazy

I found a way to create categories but it was a long long description so either it's too complicated or I'm simply too lazy. But, hey, I just have ONE category so I believe it won't be necessary.

Song of the week

You know when sometimes you hear a song and can't stop listening to it and you play it over and over again? Well that happens often to me. Maybe I should make a category of it? hmm! How do I do that in Blogger. I'll have to find out.
But, first, song of the past week:

El rey tiburón - Maná



I didn't find an official music video...

Tomorrow never dies

I know that people are supposed to go out, to party, to hang out, to eat and stuff like that on saturdays but some of us can't or simply won't. Some of us stay at home and when we do we'd love to have something to watch on TV and that's why I wonder: what's up with TV channels on saturdays? Tonight they showed Police Academy 7. Seriously, 7? I won't even raise the question about why they made not one but seven lame movies. But showing it on a Saturday night along with Fear factor and a bunch of other really boring and lame shows makes no sense to me. And what actually makes less sense is that on fridays there's so much to watch that it becomes hard to choose! Leave some of it to saturday I say.

Anyway, I ended up watching a 007 movie, which is always entertaining, especially since I haven't seen this one before. It starred Teri Hatcher. It was weird to see her as one of Bonds lovers. She was very attractive. She still is but she was more curvaceous in this movie.
I also found it really amusing to watch the technology that was in use. I bet that it looked really advanced back in 1997. It seemed that the techno thing they were talking the most about was the GPS that is today something that anyone can have in ones car. That leaves me thinking in the technological revolution that has been going on. What's next? I mean, I (and I haven't lived that long) have seen the switch from cassettes to CDs to mp3s, the mobile-boom, the evolution of computers and internet,... And every day there's something new that one must have and that one suddenly can't live without. We are actually owning things that were imagined in movies made no longer than 12 years ago! Isn't that amazing?



This is the phone Bond used in the movie, it looks like it belongs to a museum. Reminds me a bit of one of my fathers first phones.

They're palying it!

They're playing Jenny from the black! Oh God! I remember I made my own version of the song! hahaha!


Break!

The last post kind of pushed me into do something. I was like: "Get yourself together girl and do something!" and I did. I guess it's not a matter of will, but a matter of actually doing what one wants to do. So I started by reading and then I looked through 27 pages with 8 artists on each page and tried to find artist to the gig but it's so hard to get a hold on people. Either there's no contact information or they don't answer their phones. But, hey, there's an awful lot of talent out there! Wow!

Now I'm taking a well deserved break! But not a long one, I have to get back to my writing and artist hunting.


Look what's on TV:


JLO back in 99. (God! it's 10 years ago!)

OOOOh! It's a JLo special. Now they're playing "My love don't cost a thing". This brings back so much memories. Like when people used to call me JLo when she came out with her "Jenny from the block" (I bet they will play that one too) because I used to wear a hat like the one she wears in the video. That reminds me that I used to wear a lot of hats. I'm glad I got over that phase!

Freaking out!

I really and deeply wonder how the brain works and especially mine. Ok. Maybe it's just my brain that's damaged. It works in a very weird and abnormal way. Like right now. I have one hundred and thirty five things to do, yet I'm spending 45 mins on facebook watching stupid videos that my friends have posted and now I'm writing this and afterwards I'll probably read some blogs and then watch some TV because here's how my stupid brain works: A side of my brain or maybe it's my conscious is telling me that a have an exam paper to write to next friday, that I have to find an artist/band that's willing to play for free to next saturday, that I have to read about 2 chapters of a school book before monday and a lot of other things, but my brain get's really stressed, freaks out because it's afraid that it won't be able to do all this and controls my body into doing nothing or just doing stupidities like watching 2 movies in a row or watching 3 episodes of Ugly Betty. Sometimes, this conscious thing kick in again and I tell my self: "OK, after I¨m done with this episode, or with this gossip website, I'll start doing something". Well actually right now I'm telling myself: "After I'm done with this post, I'll definitely start reading my history book" but we'll see what happens. And that's how it goes on and on and on until I sit there the night before the exam and write down whatever and regret every single moment i spent on doing nothing. What is wrong with me? Am I stupid?

Apparently.

Fruits...


I like fruits

Me? Cooking?

Me? Cooking? I don't think so! It's not that I don't like cocking or food, it just that I don't have the patience. I don't have the patience to spend 3 hours in the kitchen, because afterwards I'm just so sick of it that i don't eat my own cooked food. I don't have the patience to wait for hours, to stir, to wait, to go back and stir again. I don't have the patience to wash all the things I use (and I use almost everything that's available in the kitchen). I don't even have the patience to warm up left overs like I'm doing now, I just warm it up a little bit then eat it half warm.|I really need a microwave.


Backpack vs. Bag

Yesterday when I was at the doctor, she told me that I had to use crutches! I'm not looking forward to it because I'm seriously the clumsiest person on earth and I'll probably end up hurting myself even more! Anyway, yesterday I had to convince myself to use them to a lecture I was going to and a came to this really scary conclusion: I can't wear shoulder bags anymore!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! aaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhh!! Technically I can wear them, but being as I mentioned before the most clumsy person on earth I just can't, because my bag will slowly slide down my shoulder and land at my hand as I'm trying to mange the crutch so I'll have to stop and put it back on, if it doesn't fall completely off. This will happen every 5 min, so I realized that I have to wear backpacks! That's just a nightmare! Backpacks are so UGLY! I hate them!
I have to agree that they are comfier than a shoulder bag and that sometimes when I think about my future I imagine myself as a 70 year-old with her right shoulder a lot lower then her left one. That's because I always were my bags on my right shoulder and not only that, but I also carry my whole world inside my bag so my bags normally wight more that 50 kilos. But you know, you have to suffer for your beauty and that's what I have been doing. But i think that in my current situation I'll have to prioritize my health over my looks. So I'm starting to get used to this terrible idea...
But seriously, look at this:


God I couldn't find ONE nice looking backpack, this is seriously the nicest one!
(By the way it took me an eternity to find this picture because in online fashions stores they don't sell backpacks, you'll only find those in the sport section)

2 weeks

It's been 2 weeks now. 2 weeks since I had a patella dislocation or a kneecap dislocation or in normal human language: it's been 2 weeks since my left knee decided to pop out of place!
Anyway, today I went back to the hospital full of positiveness and hope waiting for a miracle to happen, expecting the doctor to tell me that everything was alright and back to normal and that now I could run and jump and dance and do whatever I wanted! Of course, as I kind of knew deep deep inside, that didn't happen. The doctor told me that I had to rest for 4 more weeks! Yey! another 4 weeks where I can't bend my knee, can't walk fast and have to accept everyones help!

As I was sitting there in the hospital, I though about Grey's Anatomy. When I first started watching the show, although I knew it was fiction, I got really respect for doctors and for their job and realized what an important responsibility they have. But the show have really damaged my mind because now I think that all doctors look like Mc Dreamy, Mc Streamy or Alex. When I was in the room waiting for the doctor I was imagining that one of them, or one that looked like them would come to my room, and I actually saw a doctor that looked a lot like George. It was really fun to watch him because he didn't know that I was watching him and what I was thinking. I was imagining things going on between the doctors! hahaha!


But back to the doctors responsibilities and work, I have to say that I have a lot of respect for the paramedics and the nurses. I agree that the doctors do the "hard work" or the difficult part but the paramedics and the nurses are equally important and has an equally important role. So, shout out to all the paramedics and nurses!!

Ashley, Sean and Pablo Francisco

Yesterday was a lot of fun!! It didn't start that good though. My friend and I had planned to go to a mexican restaurant before the show, but we were in a meeting that never ended. We actually had to leave before the meeting was over because I had to meet a guy I was selling my Madcon tickets to but hey that's another story. Anyway, when we finally were going to the restaurant we realized we only had 1 hour left to the show so we ended up going to T.G.I Friday's, ordered and just sat there chatting. After 35 min or more we hadn't got our food yet so we called the waiter and exactly as we though he had forgotten to place the order. Poor thing. I felt really sorry for him because I know how stressing it is to work at a restaurant. Anyway they offered us 50% off if we stayed but by then we only had 15 min left so we had to leave. They gave us some coupons for free appetizer or smoothie which is quite nice. The bad thing is that by then we were really hungry. I for example hadn't eaten all day because I know we were eating out and we couldn't just wait for the end of the show, so we went to Deli de Luca, bought some pizza rolls and Pepsi Max that we smuggled in.
When we got there I knew right away that the audience would be great because they were all buying drinks (I didn't think of that before!) and I wasn't wrong. People were totally crazy, screaming, laughing and making a LOT of noise.
Anyway, the show was great. At least the first part. It's started with Sean Savoy and Ashley Fils-Aime how were like the warm-up guys for Pablo. They were really hilarious and it was the kind of humor that I like, a bit like Def Comedy Jam. What I liked the most was that they had "local jokes", like about stuff happening here which means they have done some research. Really nice! I really appreciated!
After they did their thing Pablo came out and people went crazy! I have to be honest, it wasn't that funny. Ok, he has a real talent when it comes to different voices, he's really really talented, but he need to get some new stuff because spending like I don't know how much time just doing noises is a bit ennoying. There were no story, I don't know how to explain but it was like just different voices over and over again. I'm not saying it wasn't funny cause I laughed a lot but I was just not that funny (haha this reminds me of that movie title He just not that into you). Another thing that I didn't like that much was that most of the show was sex jokes and that can be funny but not when the whole show is about sex. I've always said that I feel that when comedians turn to sex jokes, they're not that talented. A talented comedian is one that can make jokes about everything, because using sex jokes is playing it too safe because it's something you know that people will laugh about. It's like making a fart noise to a kid over and over again because you know they will always laugh. But I had a lot of fun. I would give the show 4 out of 6 stars, 3 to Ashley and Sean and 1 to Pablo.

Who you foolin'?

Yey! Yey! I'm going to see Pablo Francisco tonight! I'm really excited although I'm keeping my expectations low because I don't want to be disappointed. I'm afraid he thinks that since we are a new audience and most of us have only seen him on tv or (in my case) on youtube, he could just use some of his old jokes, because that would be really uncool. I'm also a bit curious about how I'm going to behave because I've never been to a comedy show. I've seen a hundred on DVD and on those I've seen people laughing their asses off and clapping and screaming and stuff. Most of the time I find the jokes really funny, but I almost never start laughing loudly when I'm alone in my sofa so I don't know how i will behave tonight, am I going to just think "that was funny" or am I going to laugh loud like everyone else? I think that I'll probably laugh (if it's really funny of course) because I think laughter is contagious. Another thing I think about, is how is the scandinavian audience going to be? Like the american ones I've seen on DVD or very silent and cold like they usually are? I'll soon find out.


My favorite PF video:

"How long has she been calling you a puta?"
"Here, hold my baby!" LOOOOOOL

I woke up this morning, the sunshine was shining.

I didn´t sleep well tonight either BUT I had just wonderful dreams. I dream that I was hanging out with my best friends and that I had something going on with a guy I have a crush on. And you know how sometimes you wake up feeling this was not a dream, this happened for real? Well that happens to me a lot and this morning was one of those morning when I'm happy cause I had so much fun all night long with my friends and my crush. In addition, I don´t have that big stone that´s making me blue and depressed and tired. I feel fresh. Outside the birds are twittering/singing and the sun is shining. This is a beautiful day :-)

Happy face by Destiny's Child, I used to listen to this every morning when I was 15.

I hate misunderstandings

I hate when people misunderstand each other and end up getting mad and irritated at each other.

One of those days...

Sometimes you wake and it feels like you didn't sleep for 1 sec. You feel like you're having a 15 kg stone in the place of your head and that you just want to go back to bEd and sleep. This is one of those days...

I'm officially missing you

I just got home from my friends place. We had a great evening. We were going to watch a movie but since neither of us can shut up, we ended up talking about exes, funerals, death, love, life,... and listening to songs on youtube. We played all from that "the boy does nothing" chick from Mis-teeq to Jill Scott. That's when I remembered this beautiful song by Tamia: I'm officially missing you and I just had to listen to it now. Although maybe that's a bad choice, I should put on something louder and noisier to keep me awake coz I have some work to do for my dad and I recall myself telling him yesterday: "I'll do it first thing in the morning" so maybe it's time I get to it by now.

I'm officially missing you by Tamia

Back in the game!

Yes. I'm back in the game now. The blogging game. This is actually my 4th blog. Well, you know all good things are four. But there's a reasonable explanation to this:
My first blog: Le Metro was about the metro, which is a pretty restricted subject, in addition I stopped taking the metro when I moved so no more to write about.
My second blog: The Christmas Blog: about christmas. Not that interesting. In addition I had a very blue period so I stopped writing.
So after 2 failed attempts, I came up with a brilliant idea, write a blog were I could write about everything at the same time! Genius, isn't it? So I started my third blog. I wasn't that active at first until last week I decided to start writing again, and what happens? I forget my password and there's no way to get it back! I tried, you see, for a whole week, searching through my mind and piles of notes and papers without results. So, I decided to start a brand new one. This one.
