So Eren told me I should do this. It seemed easy enough to do, and hey, a post is a post. Now I can feel like I don’t ignore my blog.

Here is how it goes. Go to the address bar in your favorite browser, and type one letter. Start with “a”, end with “z”.

It was kinda sad how long I spent trying to find something for Q. Well, who cares.

And since it’s such a sort post, here’s something great to watch. I loved it and hopefully you’ll like it too.

Worst Thing to Happen to Pop Culture

Seriously how much of an idiot do you have to be to like something as useless and stupid as twilight. Yes, Anne Rice used vampires to reach the angsty youth as well but, come on, Anne Rice knew her shit. She did her research and her books were actually readable. (I like Anne Rice by the way, and I thank her for her books who accompanied me through my tween years and I actually apologize that I’m comparing her to Stephenie). Unlike Stephenie Meyer’s books Anne’s books don’t sound like they were written by sad 12 year olds with out imaginations.

Who the fuck names their main character Bella Swan. SERIOUSLY. WTF? Beautiful swan? The book and the movies are full of – no scratch that – made out of such cliches that it actually hurts. I highly doubt that a emo 13 year old could ever come up with something so unimaginative.

Sparkling vampires? Vampires who can, but choose to not fuck? Here, this is a quote from the douchess: “one of the great things about fantasy is that research rarely applies”. Seriously. Did I just travel to bizarro land? Oh, oh here’s another one “When I write the story, it’s not like I’m thinking about what I’m doing” I rest my case.

Also, why the hell is she advising tween girls “to threaten to kill themselves if their boyfriends want to leave them”. The movie (which I watched -not in the theaters-, since I’m not going to read the crappy books) is so full of sexism that I was in shock for a few full hours. The lead female is spineless and has a creepily dependent personality, the lead male is an asshole, and is emotionally abusive.

Now that I’ve made myself clear. Please get the hell out of my life. If I ever see that emo poster again, I’m going to barf on it. It’s the most shittiest editing job I’ve seen on a hollywood poster.

On a final note, Robert Pattinson is not hot, he is scrawny and just plain regular. Not showering does not make you a hot, bad guy, neither does sparkling like a fucking diamond. If you seriously think he’s so fine that he blows your mind, please gtfo and go suck a lemon.

And that is the end of my rant. Now something nice to listen to to do away with all the crappiness I’ve been talking about.

Be Red Today. World AIDS Day.

“World AIDS Day, observed December 1 each year, is dedicated to raising awareness of the AIDS pandemic caused by the spread of HIV infection.”

Back in the early 90s I lost my uncle to HIV. I’ve heard the stories about how he was treated in the hospital and the stigma that surrounded the disease. The discrimination he went through, being a gay man living with AIDS.

We have lost far too many good people to this pandemic. We have lost too many kids, who didn’t even get the chance to live. 2 million children under the age of 15 are living with HIV.

In the modern world, HIV is no longer a death sentence. New cases of HIV are down %17 from 2001. Although this is good news, it means more people living with HIV. As Margaret Chan, director-general of the WHO, said: “We cannot let this momentum wane. Now is the time to redouble our efforts, and save many more lives.”

So today, take time out of your busy schedule, stop for a second. Check out the links below and see what you can do. I will not taunt you with pictures of children, women and men suffering, especially in Africa with this disease. Help stop the pandemic.

Someone is wrong on the internet

I feel like bitching. A lot.

I hate it when I can’t explain myself to people. Especially over the internet. I don’t have to know the person, just the fact that I can’t explain myself makes me feel like I come across as an idiot. Which I’m not.

Just the fact that we are confined to 140 characters makes it almost impossible communicate. I also use my body to talk for me. The fact that I have to type to explain something really grinds my non existent balls.

I learned in the past year or so, that I in no way can change someones religious views, faith is far more stronger than me and has thousands of years brain washing on its side. So, I decided that I should take it lightly, make fun of the situation. I decided that being bigot about the situation just helps me keep my sanity. I know what I believe in and my opinions grow and change. When I want to talk to someone about my opinions I talk to Eren or a very select few of my friends who I feel like I can have stimulating conversations with. These conversations never happen online.

I also love how when I feel agitated and I look over to Eren, and he doesn’t even have to say anything or he lets out a “oh c’mon” grunt and I go “yeah fuck it”. I get over it and write a blog post about it.

So sorry if you’re reading this. It’s totally for my personal relief.

Here watch this and laugh:
