step it up 2007

today i went downtown to the alamo for the environmental event called step it up. here's the gist of the event from the website:
On this one spring day, there will be hundreds and hundreds of rallies all across the country. We hope to have gatherings in every state, and in many of America's most iconic places: on the levees in New Orleans, on top of the melting glaciers on Mt. Rainier, even underwater on the endangered coral reefs off Key West. Every group will be saying the same thing: "Step it up, Congress! Cut Carbon 80% by 2050." As people gather, we'll link pictures of the protests together electronically via the web--before the weekend is out, we'll have the largest protest the country has ever seen, not in numbers but in extent. From every corner of the nation we'll start to shake things up.
the event in san antonio started at 12pm but i was late for a couple of reasons. first off i was extremly tired last night for some reason and was pretty much knocked out or in a groggy daze the whole night until around 11:30, then i had to stop to get gas, then i didn't realize that people have to pay for parking downtown. i find the last one ridiculous! why do you have to pay downtown but not anywhere else? i don't see the purpose of that. so i had to find a garage and decided to park in the rivercenter mall, then i had to wait in the line to go up the levels until i finally found a park, then i had to walk to the alamo(it wasn't that far) and i finally got there around 12:40ish.
when i got there the first thing i did was take some overall pictures.after that i went over to the tables to do the most important thing, put my two cents in. i went over and signed petitions and wrote letters to the government to allow bills that will lessen the carbon emissions as well as some free trade ones. while i was doing that i got some pretty cool pamphlets that listed small easy steps to do your part to help the environment. afterwards i signed up for the sierra club in the area, it sounds cool! but i don't know how realistic it is to think i'll participate alot. because next semester, even though i'm hoping to get less classes, i'll still have the presidential duties for the anime club, still try to be in voices, and i will be working, and going downtown is a real hassle! but maybe i can go check it out every now and then.
while i was signing the petitions and learning more info i chatted with a couple of people. there was this one guy that kept trying to talk to me though, it was kinda lame because we had this one long conversation about anime because he saw my nerv backpack, then i kinda walked away after we finished talking for abit and he kept lingering around. i think it would've been better to just get it over with instead of hanging around me for a couple of minutes until he finally stopped.
after that i sat down and listened to the speakers, i was surprised to find out how green san antonio was. it seems like we have at least one good representative trying to push for positive bills. and then they had a triva game where you could win a lightbulb fixture kinda thing, i didn't participate in it because i have no real use with it because i'm in a dorm, and i need singles, not a house fixture one. and finally it ended up with the group picture infront of the alamo..if i had paint on my computer still i'd zoom it up so i could see where i was and circle my dot in the picture and draw a line and write a crappy me on it. but since i don't this is all yer gettin!
it was really nice, abit windy but much better than last night's tornado like weather. afterwards i went grocery shopping in whole foods after i figured out how to leave downtown and after i was finally able to get on the right place in the highway 20 minutes latter, and it seemed alot of people were nice today so that was cool.  then i went over to amy's ice cream and got a smoothie. it was pretty good! and now i'm back home.
so today has been a pretty kick ass day! i have felt really good after going to that little event. though i'm pretty sure with all the things i'm doing now my mailbox will be hating me pretty soon.
all the rest of the pictures are on my photo album(not on this site), and since alt doesn't let you link i can't show it to you. but if anyone's interested just coment or message me and i'll link em to you.

boobzilla and other thoughts

no i'm not ripping off beckrules blog, i was attacked yesterday. as i logged onto alt and went to the blog section, i looked around the main page and then i saw it. i look over to the actively watched blogs, and what do i see?
 's big godzilla like boobies taking more than 1/2 of the space on the actively watched blogs segment. a guy and a girl(i don't know them)'s pictures were being trampled.
i know girly girl was big here on alt, but i didn't know how big she was!Lol
speaking of big, i downloaded timberland's new cd yesterday. yeah, i know i like him alot and if i really liked him alot i'd buy his cd...but i don't like him that much.
i don't know, i really think he needs to step off into the sidelines, because he's doing SO much that it's becoming kinda oh yeah that's him. because he's done the pussycat dolls, nelly, lots and lots of justin timberlake, his new cd, omarion and lots more.
at first it's really weird because he tries to sing alot on this song, and his voice is weird! i didn't like when he tried to sing with justin and i don't really like it now. like the first song is really off to me. some of his songs don't have that great a beat..like give it to me..well give it to me has the most weirdest beginning ever, it makes me want to skip it, but i trust in him and let it go. well it sounds like promiscuous girl, and with nelly being the first to sing, it might as well be to me.
some of the rock songs he tries to do aren't that good. i don't get most of them because it's not rock, it's rock people being put underneath /pop(aka less hardcore ) beats. and of course since i hate falloutboy i couldn't listen to that track...i honestly tried, but hearing tim and them whine like that i had to delete that shit pronto.
now justin timberlake's the man even though he's extremly lame at the same time but i think this solidifies his character for being really lame. after hearing him try to say these lyrics really seriously i cannot look at him in the same light:
Bounce (like yo' ass had the hiccups)
Bounce (like we was ridin' in my pick-up)
Bounce (why you lookin' so sad? baby girl you need to cheer up)
Bounce (I got the remedy, it's you on me and me on you
And you on me and me on you and you on her
Then her on me and her on you and y'all on me
Then me on y'all and y'all on me
that right there is the main theme of the cd, your hot i'm hot and i have alot of money and i'm popular, let's have sex! it gets kinda old, because there's 17 songs...and 17 songs of the same thing is really lame.
my two favorite songs out of the bunch hands down are the popular(at least among the critics that i've read) miscommunication and then bombay. with miscommunication i think it's really smooth, but it ends weird so it throws you off, at least the ending threw me off! and i've had this song in my head for a couple of hours now! first sexyback, then my love and now this. and bombay, i've always loved music like that. indian old school mixed with western beats is always a win for me. it was also cool how magoo was on one of the tracks, even though he wasn't on it alot, but it was cool to hear them together again, they were always so cool!
last thing about the album, for some reason they keep hatin on britney spears on it, i don't get why.
final note johnnyroadhog who will be dubbed as mr. texas know it all from now on, do you know where gaithhersburg is? i've never heard of that in my life! but some weirdo from the netherlands messaged me with this and i figured maybe you'd know where it is:
Hi, I'm in the US at the moment, around Gaithhersburg and flying back to the Netherlands, are you curious for more ? XXX, Klukkluk
i'd lol if it isn't a real place.
i'll get to that tag latter on, i swear i will. hahaha

today's the first day i can breathe out of both sides of my nose! w00t! also my throat isn't itchy. speaking of throats according to astrology whenever taurus's get sick, the first thing to bother them is their throat and unfortunately it's very true with me. i'd rather it be something else because it's a hard to talk or attempt to sing(regarding my aural skills class) with it being fucked up.
so i guess i'll go back to reading posts again. i don't think i'm that well to start responding to the tags right now.

and your grossness! i'd expect you to get sick, you wash your dishes by running the water under them and leaving them to air dry. your hair is all over the place, and your towels and shit look really gross and you don't cover your mouth when you sneeze and your room is a mess. your a sickness/disease waiting to happen.
but why do you have to pass that misfortune onto me? huh? huh?
so all throughout winter i was able to keep the sickness at bay pretty well, i would just start to feel sick and then get over it in a day or three max. but this time, i got it bad...
thanks to my roommate i'm sick. :-\
last night i couldn't sleep because my throat was so sore, i tried to use honey but that didn't work and it was starting to make me sick. so i went outside and took one of her halls she got and that helped me, to bad that was at 5am and i needed to wakeup at 7:50...if i did that earlier than maybe i wouldn't have woken up every other hour before then.
my nose isn't runny now, but it has it's moments where it is.
the main thing i notice is my balance/natural center with the earth is royally FUCKED up! while i was driving to work today i noticed that things felt like they were going by faster than normal. and the car felt like it was going faster than normal. also while i was walking around things felt out of proportion to me, they were to far or to close or just didn't add up. after work when i went to heb to get stuff to combat the sickness, i felt kinda nauseous as i was walking and i couldn't read any of the magazines, and when i would look at them they wouldn't spin...but it just wouldn't make sense..i guess they would move per say or they weren't staying still enough so i could read any words...it was just colored words shaped like writing to me.
yet i'm online writing about this and i made comments in my blog. yup, i'll admit i'm addicted to the internet. so, what?
anyway i'm going to take a well needed sleep because my head and brain feel weird. then i'm going to do some yoga..and since i got my homework done at work...i'm probably going to go right the fuck back to sleep where i belong!

pants day
|

so this weekend was really good! i decided enough was enough and finally went to go shopping for pants, i got tired of having to pull my pants up every 15 steps and having them be so loose that i don't have to undo them to use the restroom. so i went shopping for 7 pants so i wouldn't have to worry about wearing the same pants 4 days a week or more.
so i spent most of the day saturday looking around in this ritzy area called la cantera. usually i don't like going there because everyone pretends to be star quality and dresses their best there to go shopping and they tend to look down upon normal dressed people. i wanted to get pants because you can do anything in pants and my mom has alot of skirts anyway, and now that i'm less big(not fat because i'll go into that latter) mom and i basically have the same size(even though she's smaller both in height and stomach area, but she has monster thighs) i can wear those. so walking around all the stores and going in stores i normally wouldn't go into(like american eagle) i finally found three that i liked all from macy's. their macy's is much better than our macy's. i wouldn't say ours is poor, but their's is more high class, which is funny because at home i remember that shopping at department stores would be a social no no move. well after i finished there it was about 8pm so i gaveup and went back home.
the next day i went to work and afterwards i went to this new mall area called the rim. the first store i saw was target and i was more into getting in and out since i had to shop for groceries and worry about parking back at the dorm. well as i assumed this target was better than our target, and people weren't ashamed to be shopping in this one either! it was here that i figured out my problem. number one, i was an inbetweener, a 11/13 and most girls pants are even numbered, 10,12,14 so it's usually to big or to small on me! also around my waist(where the actual band of the pants is) would feel abit loose yet my thighs wouldn't fit on a smaller size, so thanks to mom i too have thunder thighs and i had to go for a 13 usually. so i bought a belt so i could fix that problem.
most important i don't have to pull up my pants every 15 steps for awhile now!
afterwards i went to whole foods and got my groceries which is always a fun expereince. then i decided since i had less groceries to get than usual to go over to amy's ice cream and check it out. it's a really hyped up ice cream place that originated in austin and is only around houston, san antonio, and austin areas. i liked it, reasonably priced, but nothing special.
then i cruised down the highway to go home and found a really nice park. i say crusin but i'd be lagging to most of you. crusin to me is going 60. it was nice having the windows and the sunroof down with the brightness all around. it was abit hard to not get distracted though. i would stare at how green the grass looks, or how pretty the sunset was, or how the bluebonnets are poking out, or just get in the moment about how nice and warm and serene everything was and had to snap back. tomorrow i might go out for a walk.
it's so funny or interesting how the weather's madeup, it seems like if you really think about it, everything's madeup to remind all of us about life. friday the weather was horrible! it was so bad i was scared. we had a thunderstorm warning, a flood warning, and a tornado warning. and when i came home the sky was pitch black and some parts of it looked like the sun was shinning through it. of course it was accompanied with lightning too so things were looking real bad. and then the next day it was bright sunny and perfect summer/spring weather and it's been that way ever since. just like moods. sometimes when you go through a bad time life seems so much better after you work through it. it was a real magical moment.
so this weekend was really cool.

recently i have found a renewed love for the smashing pumpkins, and i downloaded another one of their cds. i only had siamease dreams and mellon collie and the infinite sadness before that. this time i went for the adore one, and i am in love with this one song. after downloading it i listened to it 15 times straight. i have watched the video about 6 times, speaking of which is how it all started.
i've had their offical myspace profile as a friend for awhile so i could keep updated with updates and all that jazz. usually it was just billy's writings which were interesting, but since their return they've started to post tourdates. since i am assuming that ya never know how long they are going to stay together that this might be my only chance to see them, which is a must for me. so going out of the state would be an option, but i'm hoping to get somewhere near texas, because it'd probably be less unrealistic.
so far their tour pretty much sucks for all americans. right now their mainly going out of state and when they do come to state they only have one tour date here! and then the only thing close to that is over the boarder in canada:
Tue 5/22 Paris, France Grand Rex
Mon 5/28 Landgraaf, Neth. Pinkpop (Near Heerlen)
Thu 5/31 Barcelona, Spain Primavera Sound Festival
Sat 6/2 Nurburgring, Ger Nurburgring Race Track
Sun 6/3 Nuremberg, Ger Zeppelinfeld
Sat 6/9 Lisbon, Portugal Super Rock
Tue 6/12 Madrid, Spain Las Ventas
Fri 6/15 Nickelsdorf, Austria Nova Rock
Sat 6/16 Imola (Venice), Italy Heineken Jammin' Festival
Sun 6/17 Interlaken, Swtz. Greenfield Festival
Sun 8/5 Washington, DC V Festival at Pimlico Park
Fri 8/24 Leeds, England Leeds Festival
Sun 8/26 Reading, England Reading Festival
Sat 9/8 Toronto, ON V Festival
so i'm really disapointed about that. going out of the country would be crazy. i'm hoping that they'll come near texas soon..or better in texas, hello we have 3 major cities here. so i'm crossing my fingers on that.
while i was checking this out i noticed that the main page had music videos and so i checked them out because i was curious and previous to that have only seen tonight, tonight, and 1979 so i wanted to see the other ones. well that turned me to going to youtube because some of them didn't work, then i spent till 1:33am looking at them and documentaries i found which i kinda stoped doing yesterday. and thus my renewed love came.
so as a final note i'll leave the lyrics to my new favorite song, ava adore. i have no idea why because the subject matter isn't that happy, but i still find it positive/romantic in some bizzare way in form. the picture comes from a bit in their music video. i don't get why billy was really into red eyeshadow/eyeliner or whatever ya'll call it(don't know makeup terms) underneath his eyes. and gilttery none the less, but whatever works for him works.
It's you that I adore
You'll always be my whore
You'll be the mother to my child
And a child to my heart
We must never be apart
We must never be apart
Lovely girl you're the beauty in my wrold
Without you there aren't reasons left to find
And I'll pull your crooked teeth
You'll be perfect just like me
You'll be a lover in my bed
And a gun to my head
We must never be apart
We must never be apart
Lovely girl you're the murder in my wrold
Dressing coffins for the souls I've left behind
Drinking mercury
To the mystery of all that you should ever seek to find
In time
We must never be apart
In you I see dirty
In you I count stars
In you I feel so pretty
In you I taste god
In you I feel so hungry
In you I crash cars
We must never be apart
Drinking mercury
To the mystery of all that you should ever seek to find
Lovely girl you're the murder in my wrold
Dressing coffins for the souls I've left behind
In time
We must never be apart
And you'll always be my whore
Cause you're the one that i adore
And I'll pull your crooked teeth
You'll be perfect just like me
In you I feel so dirty in you I crash cars
In you I feel so pretty in you I taste god
We must never be apart

i might take a break from writing on here. todays just been extremly shitty and extremly unfair. i almost did alot of things i was able to talk myself out of for years, and i was so bad i was about to call that s hotline but as usual got afraid of talking to stranger about this...i don't feel comfortable talking about things like this to a bunch of sickos and to a bunch of people who don't care and don't know me. so until my mood changes i won't be writing here. might be writing tommorow, the next day, next week, who knows. i just know that right now i'm extremly unstable and dont feel comfortable talking about my emotions at all or in depth with you people on here.

these songs have stuck with me for a couple of years now. it seems i always go back to them. sure spring is close, but summer isn't a time i look forward to. that means i'm back at home in that toxic, bickering environment, it's a lose/lose situation. so i guess i'll post them. i forgot how much it hurt.
to forgive-smashing pumpkins
Ten times removed
I forget about where it all began
Bastard son of a bastard son of
A wild eyed child of the sun
And right as rain, I'm not the same but
I feel the same, I feel nothing
Holding back the fool again
Holding back the fool pretends
I forget to forget nothing is important
Holding back the fool again
I sensed my loss
Before I even learned to talk
And I remember my birthdays
Empty party afternoons won't come back
Holding back the fool again
Holding back the fool pretends
I forget to forget nothing is important
Holding back the fool again
I forget to forget me
I forget to forget you see
Nothing is important to me
I knew my loss
Before I even learned to speak
And all along, I knew it was wrong
But I played along, with my birthday song
Holding back the fool again
Holding back the fool pretends
I forget to forget nothing is important
Holding back the fool again
we never change-coldplay
I wanna live life and never be cruel
I wanna live life and be good to you
And I wanna fly and never come down
And live my life and have friends around
We never change, do we? no, no
We never learn, do we?
So I wanna live in a wooden house
I wanna live life and always be true
I wanna live life and be good to you
And I wanna fly and never come down
And live my life and have friends around
We never change, do we? No, no
We never learn, do we?
So I wanna live in a wooden house
where making more friends would be easy
Oh, and I don´t have a soul to save
Yes, and I sin every single day
We never change, do we?
We never learn, do we?
So I wanna live in a wooden house
Where making more friends would be easy
I wanna live where the sun comes out ...

i remember this time last year was a more happier time. actually i didn't fully remember, it took me a bit to remember. i remember last year this was the month i first really started to accept myself and made the plunge doing so by going to natural hair, upon checking my blogs back then they were defiantly of a more happier nature than they are now. i'm sitting here wondering why the change? why such a shift from positive good things to just depressing things over and over again? it should be a good time. weirdly enough even though i've been depressed alot this year i don't think this year is a bad year really. but i remember last year's summer was so much better, yet i lacked having my real life friend and having worser roommates. positively speaking maybe this is the shower before the blooming, realistically speaking i'm probably just going through my natural highs and lows. but i'm really getting tired of this. i know i'm not supposed to think about it like this but i'm honestly getting tired of feeling like this, and i'm not looking forward to feeling this way for 40/50 more years if i don't die before the average age.
