Pop

“Do you ever wonder why, this music gets you hot? It takes you on a ride…” – N’sync

Just yesterday I was sitting here on this lovely Mac computer instant messaging my dear friend Justine when she sent me a few youtube links. Much to my surprise when I clicked on them I realized I was watching very OLD videos from N’sync and the Backstreet Boys. I just have to say, videos back in the mid 90s, not to mention the European releases, were not all that good. Kind of cheesy in fact, but still it brought back an array of memories for me.

Almost 21 now I look back to my pre-teen years and I remember the songs that I loved so dearly at the time. The words are just complete crap. I mean, if any guy really said the kind of things they said to a woman they would either get:

A. Slapped
B. Kneed in the crotch
C. Laughed at
D. All of the above and then some.

For example:

“If you want it to be good girl, get yourself a bad boy” – Backstreet Boys

Come on! Haha. Even though I think those songs are pretty lame, I still love them. They do have pretty catchy rhythms and melodies. Even though I don’t dance, not in public anyway, they make me dance in my seat in front of this very screen.

I am not ashamed to admit I was an avid teenybopper. I bought all the magazines for the delicious posters that became like wallpaper. Out of all the boy groups out there I have to say my heart belonged to the Backstreet Boys. Those boys were the first to bring back that whole boy group thing and they did it right. They can really sing their butts off! I was a Howie Dorough fan; up until he straightened his ever-growing long hair then I left him for another longhaired man named David Eric Grohl.

The song Pop by N’sync has been stuck in my head since yesterday and I blame Justine for that. I love how even the silliest of songs can bring back the best of memories. The songs from my past were fun and they still are pretty fun. It was nice to look back on those fun days. But, I am glad of how much I grew from that period. Apart of me will always been a teenybopper at heart.

BSB FOREVER!

Cause I Don't Care...

I love how you're not even here for a whole day and you can pass judgment on the whole family and say we don't care. I love how you don't even stand up for yourself and your family when you know what is being said is hurtful and wrong. I love how you can't even come to our aid when we are always there to yours. I love how you all can sit there infront of the TV and act like nothing happened. I love how you can give a two shits on something that meant a lot to me. I love how you expect me to show up to your events but you can't even show up to mine. I just love how you knock me down lower into this pit of hell that I am in. I love how you make my eyes swell and flow out the burning salt waters. I love how you make me wish I could disappear. I love how you make me want to walk away and never look back. I love going into a place that I loathe just to keep up with the bills. I love that I can't leave that hell because the place I really want to be won't be enough to survive on. I just love that with everything that my flesh and bloods and I do means nothing to you. Because, after all we don't care remember? I am just in love aren't I?

THIS... Is A Late Parrot!

Hola everyone,

So yea, I worked again today. I get there and when I go to the CSM, Customer Service Manager, podium and when I get there I get sent to Furnature to zone. Which isn't so bad cause I don't want to be on a register... BUT the furnature department was a MESS! I spent two hours there trying to make it somewhat presentable. Then after that I had to go on a register so there isn't much to report on. Sorry.

I come home and watch some of the Dodger game, they lost. Then I went on the net like I am now. That is pretty much it.. I ate a King Taco burrito. YUM! That shall be all. Take care!

p.s. I have watched that Parrot Sketch about 10 times atleast since I have found it hehehehe.

Meh

There's isn't much to report today...

I just worked and it was just blah. Nothing exciting ever happens at work so.. Yeah..

My mom made floutas for dinner and it was good. I bought a tank top today. It has green, brown and yellow polka dots on it. So cute.

I was checking out a video on youtube today and I took off my headphones and turn around to see 3 firemen behind me looking at my uncle.. Talk about a "WTF??" moment. My uncle had fallen and he asked my mom and grandmother to call the ambulence for him. It was all pretty weird..

Watched some of Me Neighbor Totoro and now I am here. I want to watch Dirty Jobs but people are watching tv.. BOO!! take care people!

p.s. Thanks Gina for suggesting Mew to me. They are the best!

Sun Burned... LA Film Fest!

Hola everyone!

So today I picked up my check from work and I got sun burned.. It sucks... I gotta work tomorrow.. Bah..

I went to the LA Film Fest today with my friend Maryann to see the film Does your soul have a cold?. Overallit was a pretty good film. It was very informative and it was interesting to see depression in another culture. One part that stands out in my mind was when one of the people goes to take his pills and he pulls out this big box full of all kinds of anti-depressants... C-R-A-Z-Y. What I didn't realize was I walked right by the director, Mike Mills, when I walked in to the theatre. They had a nice Q&A session afterwards and it was a pretty cool experience. The whole atmosphere for the film fest was awesome! I got the same feeling I got when I first walked on to the land of Chicago, Illinois. It was such a wonderful feeling. I felt, free. Weird I know... But, I got a taste of a world that I would love to be apart of. I want to volunteer next year for the film fest, so who wants to volunteer with me?!? I think it would be so great to be apart of that. I don't care about the fact that it is a lot of work, I just want to be apart of something that is so inspirering.

On the way home I noticed that they had a store out there called The Writer's Store and I definately want to go there when I get a chance... Maybe in the upcoming weeks.. Just go on the bus and go to Westwood and check out the area and soak up the scenary. Who wants to go with me?? Come on.. You know you are all up for an adventure! :D

So I took two evil army things for the kids.. haha.

We walked in to see if we could find any doll hats, none were found by the way, and we found a bounty of other cheap but funny objects. We found an energy drink that was on clearance for .25 and a mood pen. lol. We had a few phone calls and stuff but that didn't stop us from playing with all the hardware and tools haha.

Marina invited me to a nice little gathering to the Olive Garden next Monday with her high school friends and I am to hang out with her and her friend Ashley on the 4th and pray we don't burn down her house. (): D . I think that is all that really happened today.. Take care everyone one! Enjoy this lovely photo from Granpa's Revenge:
