De la musique que j'aime beaucoup comme d'hab.

N'étant pas musicienne pour un sous, et chanteuse encore moins (enfin sauf sous la douche, et dans ma voiture :-D) pourtant je vie la musique, c'est une passion, les gens écoutent des chansons, comme ça comme ci de rien n'était.

Moi ça n'est pas pareil, j'ai l'impression qu'avec chaque chanson je vie une histoire, ou que chaque chanson reprend un petit bout de ma vie par-ci par-là, un peu de mon état d'esprit...

Je suis une grande passionnée de musique...Normale pour une grande rêveuse, hypersensible et ultra-émotive :-D .

Ce soir J'ai donc choisi deux morceau  de "the cure"

Le premier : Close to me

Et le second : Boy's don't cry

Voila pour aujourd'hui, et comme on dis, demain est un autre jour :-D

This video would be a hip doorway for students into the works and life of Louise Bourgeois. It's not stuffy, boring, or academic. It makes the audience feel like the viewer at the museum, amid a bustling environment, staring and engaging the art and its hidden crevices. A bonus is that the The Cure song, "Close to Me" is playing in the background. It's basically like a music video. :)

The collected works of French Artist Louise Bourgeois is currently on display at the Guggenheim Museum in New York City.

I went to this show, and slowly, as I spiraled up the Guggenheim architecture, began to connect with the art. Climbing towards the ceiling, I felt that I grew into an imaginary world with painted and shaped wood, smoothly carved marble, oily drawings that expressed a multitude of human feelings and experiences, and hanging pieces and cells with nooks and tunnels for hiding and maneuvering or snuggling.

Everyone experiences art uniquely, and takes away a piece of a fantasy place. Louise Bourgeois's art has filled me with a chamber of thoughts and emotions that have been circulating throughout me, stretching me to wonder who I am as a woman, question what the contours of "letting go" is and means, and examine my inner tensions, varied personality, and desires.

What I particularly like about Bourgeois's work is that it is not all pretty. It draws on the subconscious, our innermost selves- our underworlds. She was influenced by the Surrealists. I think her art may inspire students to create original art and allow their imaginations to wander, and through the process, come to understand themselves greater.

Please don't let me forget.

Let's do this again. :)

I love you, guys.

Dizem que quando a gente está crescendo, nos primeiros anos de vida (até por volta dos 7 ou 8 ou 9) tudo que acontece fica permanentemente marcado na nossa vida, na nossa cabeça.

É para mim é bem verdade.
Os anos 80 se foram e voltaram, em releituras, em referências.

Mas de mim... nunca saíram.

E ainda escuto as palmas, mesmo quando fecho as pálpebras e tento me esconder nos anos que correm pelos meus olhos.

Thanks Kuya Drew. :)

Hindi naman talaga ako emosyonal na tao e. Paminsan-minsan lang. (Haha. Excuses.) Siguro nga dahil nasanay na akong pigilan ang emosyon ko. Siguro nga dahil ayoko ring masyadong magpadala sa nararamdaman ko. Masama ba yun? Di naman, di ba? Wag lang sobra.

Nakakatuwang makita yung mga iniwan mo dati na maliliit pa, tapos biglang mas matangkad na sa’yo. Nakakatuwang tinatawag ng ”Ate”. Nakakatuwa ring makakita ng mga bago at ’di gaanong bagong mga mukha. Nakakatuwa yung tulungan, damayan, kwentuhan at bonding. Pamilya talaga. Nakakabless.Nakakalungkot din dahil matagal akong nawala. Nalulungkot ako lalo na kapag nakikita ko yung mga pictures nila na wala ako. Marami na ang nangyari na di ko man lang nabalitaan. Marami na rin ang nagbago na di ko man lang nakumusta. Marami akong na-miss. Kaya para makabawi sa mga panahong wala ako, malaking effort talaga ang kelangang gawin para bumalik yung dati. Yung dating samahan, lambingan, at damayan. Ayoko namang magbago yun, di ba? Kaya bubuohin uli tulad ng dati.

At kapag ok na ang lahat, kelangan ko na ulit umalis. Iiwan ko na uli sila. Mahirap lalo na sa parte ko kasi mas matagal akong wala kaysa andyan. Pero ganun talaga e. Dun din kasi nasusubok ang samahan at pagkakaibigan.

At dahil dun, we became stronger.

.......

I’m so proud of my brother. Really.

He’s becoming a man. :)

Some things are better left unsaid.
Just do your talk.

Today, I venture into the dark portal of foreign cultures and old people that is Bournemouth and hope to return with a brand new Guitar Hero controller, as it isn't fair to ask Chris if I can use his everytime I want Impulse on Expert to kick my arse. Soon, however, it will not by my arse being kicked.

Back onto Biffy Clyro, for me, and here is a youtube for you:

De todas las bandas que sonaban en aquella época mi favorita era (y sigue siendo) Echo & the Bunnymen, este grupo fue un nexo perfecto entre dos generaciones, ellos estaban influenciados por gente como Los Doors o la Velvet Underground, y a su vez sirvieron de influencia a bandas como Radiohead, Oasis, Blur o Coldplay. En lo personal creo que su importancia en la música inglesa es comparable a la de los Clash Pero la banda que mayor cantidad de fans cosecho por mis tierras fue The Cure, creo que durante la segunda mitad de los 80 la mitad de la juventud Argentina escuchaba a Robert Smith y Compania. La otra mitad bailaba imitando a una gallina creyéndose Mick Jagger al ritmo de “Under my thumb” en la versión del mítico disco en vivo “Still Life”, amo a los Rolling Stones pero esa versión me da ganas de vomitar…

Yo caí rendido inmediatamente ante la tristeza de Los Cure, como la gran mayoria llegue a esta banda gracias al disco “The Head on the Door”. Canciones como “In Between Days” o “Close o Me” son indelebles en la memoria de una generación. Mi favorita de este disco es la inmensa “A Night Like This”, insuperable.
Lo mejor del asunto fue cuando empecé a escuchar sus trabajos anteriores, discos como “The Top”, “Seventeen Seconds” o “Pornography”, eran obras impresionantes, todos diferentes entre si pero con la marca registrada de Mr. Smith. Canciones como “Play for Today”, “Shake Dog Shake” o la juvenil “10.15 Saturday Night” son de lo mejorcito que se hizo por aquellos años.
Su pico de popularidad mundial fue con Disco “Desintegration”, este trabajo es para mi el último de la banda, siguieron sacando discos, tocando en festivales y reciclándose mil veces, pero ya no era lo mismo, en lo personal siento que Robert Smith ya no podía mas con el personaje. Y lógicamente, yo tampoco.
Y ahora, unos cuantos años después, cuando estamos en casa viendo clips en VH1 y aparece alguna banda de las citadas en este post nos miramos a los ojos con mi mujer para vez cual de los dos es el primero en soltar la frase “por tu culpa me hice dark” y reír con mil recuerdos de juventud.

Nahihilo na ako sa'yo.

Please make up your mind.

Please.

Today, my mother and I discovered my sisters hamster died. And while my sister was at a friends house we got her a new one.

Teddy Bear hamsters are the nicest of hamsters. I would know. there are a lot of portly women that work at Petco. Thats all Im saying.

I'm getting more and more obsessed with Modest Mouse, strictly the old stuff.

I finished a paid web design project today.

I miss Danielle.

Im getting WAY lazy, Im slacking off in school, and I dont even do my work as much anymore.

I was asked to do Adventures Ina Pancake's myspace two weeks ago and although I have been working on it, I havent been doing much. Not only that but I was asked to do work for someone and I was going to get paid and I havent done that yet. I think I will work work work this weekend.

Next week its the big 6 months for my and Danielle.

Ill tell you all how that goes.

EVERYONE should listen to Young Love. If you like what you hear, find a show and listen to them live. They are 25% better. Just 25%, maybe 26% but thats stretching the seems.

Got mad at Luke. Made up with Luke.

Got to level 33 on Call Of Duty. Got the X360 taken away.

And the biggest news was that Wade and my dad [lol] won first place for show in he Pine Wood Derby car making thing for boy scouts. Pretty awesome.

But at 9:30 this morning all that changed.

I play COD4. Only.

XBL: Ryan Lackey

Danielle and Little Kelly came over today, and we watched Freddy Got Fingered[:P] and me and Dani cuddled in the blankets of my comfy bed.

Im going to start making myspace's for bands for free. All I'm going to ask for is the credit, found conveniently near the bottom of the page. So if you know anyone,please tell them or your band that I'm giving free shit out.
