Fame

“The hardest of all is learning to be a well of affection, and not a fountain, to show them that we love them, not when we feel like it, but when they do” Nan Fairbrother.

Not a bad movie. Caught it with B, Sandra and Lina today. Plot was fine, quite expected, but their talents are soooo awesome. Envy. Aw wells quite lazy to blog now. Want to enjoy Sims3 tonight! Sis is not home! =)

Kings Of Leon/Only...By...The...Night

Kings Of Leon are an American Rock band formed in 1999. Hailing from Nashville, Tennessee, the band is formed by three brothers and one cousin. The band has struggled in the US market, gaining huge acclaim in the UK before finally hitting big in the US in 2008/09. A Grammy Award winning act, the band is currently at work on a live DVD and remix release.

Closer —-Beginning with blips and beeps and then a strong drum intro, the song is clouded in atmosphere and mood. The vocal is exquisite!!! The phrasing and the emotion is devastating!!! The song literally bleeds atmosphere and darkness. The layers of sounds just seem to build upon each other and the song ends up being a huge sounding doom oriented extravaganza. Brilliant!!!

Crawl—-Electric with a touch of sonic, this incredible song kicks off with attitude and swagger. The guitars are full of brilliant feedback and fuzz. The vocal is so exquisite…the phrashing is masterful…you feel dirty and elated at the same time. This is masterful, brilliant, incredible. One of the best songs to hit the airwaves in years.

Sex On Fire—-A huge single for the band all over the world, the sound is almost 80’s inspired from the onset. The way this vocalist delivers his lines is unforgettable. The delivery is magnificent. The chorus is so damn catchy you will have it in your head for days and days!!!. The song never quite delivers the large feeling I want from it, but none the less….this is fantastic!!!

Use Somebody—-Incredibly successful for the band, the song hit new heights in the US for the band and officially introduced them to the masses. The song features all of the great things about the band…the gentle, slowly emerging guitars, the crashing cymbals of the drums, the dry and emotive phrasing of the vocals. A masterpiece without even trying makes it all the better.

Manhattan—-The song has a gentle sound, but the song sounds to me incredibly like Pearl Jam….the whole mood of the guitar and vocal delivery fir right in the pattern. The guitars do have at times a nice Smith-ish sound that really appeals to me. The drums are masterful….never too loud but always present. This is great!

Revelry—-Giving his best Springsteenimpression from the very onset, the song is filled with that New Jersey sound. The band is masterful….even if just for their ability to hold back when they really want to rock out. The song is masterful….the construction and delivery borders on Alt-Country at it’s finest….I love this!!!!

I7—-Dirty, sexy and with a nice touch of blues….what more could you ask for. The delivery of the song is interesting as the rest of the band contributes an almost constant chorus of ohhhhh’s…and the vocal is full of intermittent blues stylings and sexy undercurrents. This is fantastic!!!

Notion—-I would not be surprised, even at this late date to see this song appear on airwaves and various video channels. This is classic Kings..it features the slight guitar fuzz, the rhythmic drums and the incredible sexy vocals. This is all you could ask for, with a nice blend of guitar distortion thrown in. Wonderful!

I Want You—-With an incredible bass line from the onset, the song again delves into that slight blues feel of some earlier tracks. The vocal is delivered with enough waa waa that the feel is accomplished with very little effort. The whole make up of the song just drips with sexiness and the sultry feel of black lit clubs with back rooms…this is freakin’ magnificent…there is little out there as good as this.

Be Somebody—-Driven by a great bass drum and the heavy sound of he bass guitar, the song again just drips with a sultry feel. The voice is very seductive…and without even trying….that kust makes it even more attractive. The song hs a nice empowered feel, but the feel of the track speaks a different world than the lyrics. So, I guess you get two for the price of one…this is not a bad thing!!!!

Cold Desert—-Wow!!! The sound of the song from the onset wants me to pull out a Cure release….then the vocal enters the fray and over rides that thought and makes you think of more jam oriented Blues Traveler. The song is a cornucopia of sound and mood. A great, magnificent way to round out an incredible release hat will remain one of my favorites for a long, long time.

sedih itu rasanya...

Hampir jam 11 dan sedang nangis depan TV.
Sangat tiba tiba, dugaan sementara disebabkan oleh pra menstruation syndrom. Mendadak dada rasanya sesak, berdebar, teringat potongan potongan memori seperti slide show didalam kepala ini.
Sedih karena belum bisa bahagiain mama.
Kangen sayang sayang 2 adikku.
“Kemanapun kamu pergi, kamu akan kembali ke aku lagi”. Terimakasih kamu slalu ada disampingku
Kangen papa waktu meluk dan bilang “ga apa apa, semuanya pasti baik baik aja”.
Kangen seneng seneng dan ketawa yang sebenernya sama saudara saudara sekeluarga besar.
Kadang saya merasa tuhan itu tidak terlalu adil terhadap umatnya. Banyak orang murka terhadap pandangan itu. Tapi tidak saya. Saya yakin perasaan itu salah, tapi saya perlu bukti… Dan saya akan buktikan itu.

Terimakasih Tuhan saya masih bisa menikmati hari ini, beri saya waktu esok hari untuk bisa lebih bersyukur terhadap kebesaranmu.

Randomocity

‘Randomocity’ is what you can expect from this blog (along with the bullet list at the bottom).
Random but calculated.

I have a non-traditional style in just about everything so don’t expect too many BORING paragraphs because I just don’t work that way.
I don’t talk that way.
This is just how I go about it.

I can write like a champ and create a beautifully worded essay with perfect punctuation and words you forgot existed in this language                   BUT                    I hate essays.
Hate is too strong… I just dislike writing like that in an expressive setting such as this. Ok.

I am putting together my dreams and this is the record and expression of where I am going with it.
Because I am not yet at the stage where I may expound to you my masterpiece of passion, I will give you what I DO have to give.
Just get ready because I will eventually reveal the big picture in all its glory.
Until then I will be posting freaking sweet blog posts pertaining to (but not limited to, lol):

-Wardrobe Management
-Personal Color Theory
-Image Consulting
-Practical Styling
-Beauty and Style tips
-Amazing art
-Awesome music
-Psychology topics pertaining to behavior of sensory input (like how people react to color, or music)
-Personal growth
-Positivity, Love, and Appreciation
-Whatever else I want, really.

The future is more beautiful than I could ever imagine now.

Ray Ban

Nu stiu daca stiti, dar au una ador ochelarii Ray Ban. Cei originali sunt fooarte scumpi, dar am gasit azi la Carrefour, tot asa in genul celor Ray Ban cu doar 50 de lei. Prima data am vazut pentru copii mai mici, de varste 7-10 ani care erau si pe albastru, verde si alte culori, insa mai mari am gasit doar pe negru, alb si roz deschis deschis. Mi-am luat pe negru. Tanjeam, bineinteles, dupa ei de foarte mult timp. Anyway, va las aici niste poze ca sa aveti idee despre ce vorbiti (cu toate ca banuiesc ca stiti).

Vodafone Warriors and Warriors Against Bullying

It’s called W.A.B. and it’s an initiative of Vodafone Warriors in conjunction with the NZ Police Bluelight section.

The designers of the course had a great picture in their heads when they started to brainstorm the idea.  Somewhere along the line a turn around of 180 degrees aimed them away from the very goals they thought they had established.  Old habits came along and and we are so tempted to counter our initial statements, where we are aiming, with what appears to be a qualification of the statement and actually turns us around to aim in another completely different direction

Team Tactics

The handout card talks of Team Tactics.

  1. Kick off.  Keep an eye on the things going on around you. (That’s a great starter.)
  2. Tackle.  Don’t encourage or take part in bullying.  (The last words are take part in bullying.)
  3. Pass.  Pass information on to adults if you see or hear bullying going on (There it is again.  The last words are bullying going on)
  4. Try.  Try to include people in the things that you do.  (That’s nearly back on track)
  5. Score.  Succeed in making your school a safe and happy place to be. (This is a really good finale)

W.A.B.  Rules of Membership. 

The opposite side of the card states the rules of membership.  The first letter of each sentence spells out the word LEAGUE

Learn to respect each other and their property.  (This is a constructive start with the last part of the sentence .)

Everyone needs to share the responsibility to help stop bullying in our school.  (The statement ends with – bullying in our school)

Agree to talk with an adult if you see, hear or know anything about bullying. (There’s that word at the end again.)

Get together to talk with others, not behind their back.

Everyone has a right to feel safe in our school. (Here’s a great end statement – safe in our school.)

 

A few changes , beginning with the name for this programme, would turn this programme into an initiative that really makes a difference. 

Let’s begin playing with words now.  Warriors Are Brave.  Warriors Act Bravely. 

We can rewrite the future with the words we consciously choose.  Please share your ideas and make a difference.
