Fall Fashion

I love to shop and I love clothes. I try to stay somewhat "in fashion" but so many fashion trends are completly ridiculous. I'm bored so I will review some of the new fall trends.

Leggings/Black tights

My thought on leggings-over already. Lindsey Hohan wore them and some other little teenage sluts with mini skirts but they really are trashy and stupid. Best left in 1990. Black tights on the other hand are timeless. I've worn nothing but black tights since I've been in high school so I'm happy I'm finally back in style.

Chunky Sweaters

I think I like this look. They look so warm for the cold weather. The only problem is they are always shown with tights and heals. What happens when it's -20 below and you are wearing a huge chunky sweater with pants and a coat...you're going to look massive. Also, if you don't do it right, you may look like you stepped out of 1994.

Skinny pants

I am trying to like this look but it's hard. I can't stop thinking early 90's. Plus, in order to wear skinny pants they have to be skinny everywhere-just not at the bottom. This means you have to be skinny as well and have long legs. If you are neither, this look is not for you. And ankle zippers? I've seen pants like this in the store and they are gross. I bought a pair of black skinny pants. Not really digging them and will probably never be seen in public wearing them.

Booties

Only with pants-don't wear with skirts! Most woman have cankles and this is not a good look for those people.


When are they going to come back with crotch pants, butterfly pants, overalls, hypercolor, or skids? I'm waiting for the day. Sitting and waiting. I really don't have a life.

Britpop video of the day-Elastica-

I used to think Elastica were really cool. I loved Justine Frischmann's haircut and I even tried to cut my hair like that once. Let's just say I looked sort of like a little boy. I also tried to play guitar. I took lessons from a russian guy named Constitine(not sure of spelling). He always wanted me to play Green Day. I hated Green Day. I was never very good and my guitar playing days are over because my drunk friend "Beer Dan" took my guitar when I was in college and snaped the neck.

WHO KNEW ST IDES WAS SO POPULAR

After watching these videos I sort of feel cool. I used to drink ST IDES sometimes in college thinking it was pretty pathetic but now that I know that 2Pac, Bigge, Snoop, NWA and some other rappers drink it I feel pretty damn gangsta.

BORAT-This is some funny stuff

Liter is French for give me some fucking cola.

Arrested Development was a good show

Some funny moments of Gob.

old fat man with a big fatty.

This is not a post about my pasty ass...but wtf is going on with my tan lines? Anyway, take a look at the man in the back....what's going on there? I think it must be his hand or something but it does look very funny.

Bill, I really would like you to not blow me off next time I'm in Syracuse. Who works late on friday? Oh yeah, I was working late that's why I was in Syracuse....oh well, maybe next week.

I'm sorry.

Britpop video of the day-Pulp-"Bad Cover Version"

This is not old but it's funny. Even if you don't like Pulp, britpop or England watch this video and you will be amused.

Britpop video of the day-Prodigy-"Wind it up"

I used to really like the Prodigy. I don't know how britpop it is but it's pretty british. Techno pop

Britpop video of the day-Sleeper-"Inbetweener"

I actually saw Sleeper at the Empire State Plaza in 1997. I got to meet the band after the show. They were actually very nice. I'm not all that much into their music but it does fit into the Britpop era very well.

Britpop video of the day-Gene-"Where are they now"

This band actually brings back very fond memories. It was 1999 and I was visiting my friend Jill in London. We got tickets to go see Gene. The concert was good and some guy gave up back stage passes. It was open bar, so my friend and I got pretty drunk. The lead singer, Martin something or other came out. I was pretty drunk at this point. I just remember I licked his face. Yeah, weird I know. I figured what do I have to lose. Nothing!! I got free drink BIATCH!

My opinion only.

I just wanted to say that my thoughts and comments on Nickelback are my views only. I'm not saying that I know about good music or really even listen to it. I mean I listen to Duran Duran. But I really really don't like them. I think my blog will be turning into a music blog where I will express my opinions-and, they are only opinions.

Britpop video of the day-Menswear-"Daydreamer"

This is going to be a new thing of mine. Everyday I'm going to put a britpop video. Like anyone cares but me. Oh well, at least I'm entertained.

I love Brit Pop!!

1995-1999 I loved Brit pop. I don't know if anyone knows what Brit pop is, but I loved it!! I wanted to be british. This caused some problems in high school. When I was in high school it wasn't cool to be weird, or if it was it was only to be weird in a Marilyn Manson type way. Thanks to You Tube, I'm going to post some great brit pop videos of the 90's. Enjoy.

Bloodhound Gang is a good band?

My blog seems to be turning into a music blog...hmmm ideas. Anyway, sitting on the couch with Bill, Javen and Paul, I decided to look up Bloodhound Gang videos. I think they are very clever. I don't think they get enough credit. YES, I LIKE THE BLOODHOUND GANG.

A Morrissey/Killers video montage

Just a quick add on to my previous post on the Killers. They did a cover of Morrissey's, "Why don't you find out for yourself" which was absolutly wonderful. There have been a lot of Smiths/Morrissey covers and most bands really mess them up. The Killers did a very good version. They opened for Morrissey in 2004. I wish I got to see them, istead I got to see Buster Poindexter and some Irish dude who seemed like he should be singing in a pub. Thanks a lot Morrissey. I spent about $400 to go to your concert and you couldn't even provide me with a decent opening act.

The Killers-"When you were Young"

At first, I didn't really like this song all that much but its really growing on me. I love the Killers first album, "Hot Fuss". I think the songs that weren't released as singles are some of the best on the album. It's fun music, not trying to be all Nickelback like. I don't know what I think of Brandon Flowers facial hair though. I think he is an attractive man. I prefer clean shaven but I guess it sort of works on him.

Who's worse? Nickelback or Nelly Furtado? I say it's pretty much equal.

You are so street. It's hard growing up in Canada and being Portuguese. You can really connect with the black youth of America.







OK, so I may have lied a little in my last blog entry. I was drunk and delirious. I think Nickelback is possibly one of the worst bands ever. I hate them in the way I hate Nelly Furtado and her stupid promiscuous sluttiness. Oh yeah, she also has thick legs. Anyway, Bill Shannon said that he sort of likes the one Nickelback song which is linked to my previous blog. They write horrible lyrics and think they actually writing about something important. Anway, here are some
Smiths song lyrics from "The Hand That Rocks the Cradle". Compare to Nickelbacks, "Photograph". I mean what the hell is on Joey's head anyway?


The Smiths-"The Hand That Rocks the Cradle"

Please don't cry
For the ghost and the storm outside
Will not invade this sacred shrine
Nor infiltrate your mind
My life down I shall lie
If the bogey-man should try
To play tricks on your sacred mind
To tease, torment, and tantalise
Wavering shadows loom
A piano plays in an empty room
There'll be blood on the cleaver tonight
And when darknesss lifts and the room is bright
I'll still be by your side
For you are all that matters
And I'll love you to till the day I die
There never need be longing in your eyes
As long as the hand that rocks the cradle is mine
Ceiling shadows shimmy by
And when the wardrobe towers like a beast of prey
There's sadness in your beautiful eyes
Oh, your untouched, unsoiled, wonderous eyes
My life down I shall lie
Should restless spirits try
To play tricks on your sacred mind
I once had a child, and it saved my life
And I never even asked his name
I just looked into his wondrous eyes
And said : "never never never again"
And all too soon I did return
Just like a moth to a flame
So rattle my bones all over the stones
I'm only a beggar-man whom nobody owns
Oh, see how words as old as sin
Fit me like a glove
I'm here and here I'll stay
Together we lie, together we pray
There never need be longing in your eyes
As long as the hand that rocks the cradle is mine
As long as the hand that rocks the cradle is mine
Mine
Climb up on my knee, sonny boy
Although you're only three, sonny boy
You're - you're mine
And your mother she just never knew
Oh, your mother ...
As long ... as long ... as long
I did my best for her
I did my best for her
As long ... as long ... as long as ... as long
I did my best for her
I did my best for her
Oh ...

Nickelback-"Photograph"

Photograph by Nickelback
Look at this photograph
Every time I do it makes me laugh
How did our eyes get so red
And what the hell is on Joey's head

And this is where I grew up
I think the present owner fixed it up
I never knew we'd ever went without
The second floor is hard for sneaking out

And this is where I went to school
Most of the time had better things to do
Criminal record says I've broke in twice
I must have done it half a dozen times

I wonder if it's too late
Should I go back and try to graduate
Life's better now than it was back then
If I was them I wouldn't let me in
Oh oh oh
Oh god I, I

Every memory of looking out the back door
I had the photo album spread out on my bedroom floor
It's hard to say it,
time to say it
Goodbye goodbye
Every memory of walking out the front door
I found the photo of the friend that I was looking for

It's hard to say it,
time to say it
Goodbye goodbye

Remember the old arcade
Blew every dollar that we ever made
The cops hated us hanging out
They say somebody went and burned it down

We used to listen to the radio
And sing along with every song we'd know
We said someday we'd find out how it feels
To sing to more than just the steering wheel

Kim's the first girl I kissed
I was so nervous that I nearly missed
She's had a couple of kids since then
I haven't seen her since God knows when
Oh oh oh
Oh god I, I

Every memory of looking out the back door
I have the photo album spread out on my bedroom floor
It's hard to say it,
time to say it
Goodbye goodbye
Every memory of walking out the front door
I found the photo of the friend that I was looking for
It's hard to say it,
time to say it
Goodbye goodbye

I miss that town
I miss the faces
You can't erase
You can't replace it
I miss it now
I can't believe it
So hard to stay
Too hard to leave it

If I could relive those days
I know the one thing that would never change
Every memory of looking out the back door
I have the photo album spread out on my bedroom floor
It's hard to say it, time to say it
Goodbye goodbye
Every memory of walking out the front door
I found the photo of the friend that I was looking for
It's hard to say it,
time to say it
Goodbye goodbye

Look at this photograph
Every time I do it makes me laugh
Every time I do it makes me

Nickelback is awesome!!!!!!!!!!!

I think Nickelback may be the best band ever. I mean, Chad Kroeger is so fucking hot!!! All their songs so much different. WOW! They do have talent. I mean, what the hell was on Joey's head? I really want to know. Please Chad, tell me!!! You are so fucking hot and talented!! Nickelback fans know real music.
