Movie Time

    When it comes to movies, I adore some sarcasm, action, horror, fantasy, and little bit of irony. Quentin Terantino is one of my favorite directors. Kill Bill 1 and 2 have to be my favorite movies! As far as what I try to stay away from, those ABC Family Channel movies tend to annoy me. I hate Lifetime Network Movies too...they all seem so fake, and redundant. I like new ideas! One place I can always count on is the SyFy Channel-though, most movies are poorly budgeted, and others are well, down right LAME. I still enjoy the grasp most shows have on Science-fiction and Fantasy. I also hate the most recent dance movies. Footloose was a fantastic movie!...in the 80s. Keven Bacon is one of my favorite acters, and his role was absolutley ruined with the 2012 release of Footloose. When I'm watching a movie or documentary, I need a drink and a snack. I like  the stereo up, and the lights down low! It's always great to have either a friend ( like the twin ) or my family with me when I watch a movie.

    If I could put my life story into a movie, I would probably play that weird girl from the Breakfast Club...not to say i couldn't be a super-hero or an alien! I figure that was a realistic answer.


It looks like I enjoy movies that remind me of the past... and ones that can take me on an adventure, according to the survey. I also enjoy informational seeking movies, and movines with artistic flare!

Kurt Cobain



This is Curdt Kobane,
Tattered Jeans from the store
He bought them like that
Now they're all patched up

Heavy sunglasses keep sliding
Down the bridge of his nose
A Ciggarette clings to his fingertips
Constantly Relighting it

Shoes are new, too tight
Kept his old laces
They're all loose and frayed
And the camera flashes hurt his eyes

Drenched in old sweat
The Blue Collar chokes him
Instead
Wants "XLarger-than-Life" Size

Bent Backward
Guitar twisted spine
Hasn't showered for days
Roasting under the lime-light

Window Poem

Straight ahead
A distant horizon line
Blurred, always moving
Lean to the left
My hair sticks to the glass
Cool against my raging head
There are more stars out tonight
Sometimes they move along with us
Wondering if they have a home
Landscapes change to the pace of time
In the distance
Unknown, vage, always shifting

e.e. cummings

it may not always be so; and i say
let this last forever (as long as
forver may last) for if two hearts
can be severed into four
           - then become two again
                      then one heart
                           forever it must be

Love must be Forever.

Inspiring Images

Smooth strokes of color lay lost... an inspiration absolutely pure.  My eyes are unable to focus. I take in a shuttering breath and as my head tilts up, I shut them tight. The wind rushes through my clothes, billowing around my body…another breath… and I feel whole again. Art comes naturally, honestly it does! It pulses through my veins, it grasps a brush, bringing my hands to paper. Art plagues my brain, eating away reality. Sometimes I’m left not knowing where my mind ever truly lies. Or whether my mind stays in one spot in the first place. I just feel my ribcage fill with vague air, grasping poison to my throat…inhaling, letting it soothe the ache in my chest.


Smooth strokes of color lay lost
Inspiration absolutely pure
 My eyes are unable to focus.
Take in a shuttering breath
My head tilts up,
I shut them tight.

The wind rushes through my clothes
Billowing around my body
Another breath
 I feel whole again.

Art comes naturally,
 Honestly it does!

It pulses through my vein
Grasps a brush
Bringing my hands to paper.

Art plagues my brain,
 Eating away reality.

 Sometimes I’m left not knowing where my mind ever truly lies.
Or whether my mind stays in one spot in the first place.

I feel my ribcage fill with vague air,
Grasping poison to my throat
Inhaling
Letting it soothe the ache in my chest.

Response To Music



Let’s talk about music.  Funny, I’m just going to write what music makes me feel.  Without the sultry sounds of classical piano or a deep round synth, I would be lost. Music is my “everything”.  I relate people to every song I listen to. It helps me to create memories.  Fond, and not so nice… I don’t have a favorite band, or genre. Though, I cannot stand Country or Pop.  The Lyrics are meaningless, repetitive.  The message behind a chorus like “She’s got a beer gut”-  It’s negative.  It’s repulsive, primeval even.  I prefer a song that gives me goose bumps.  A song that makes my heart thud. I want a song to make me feel relaxed, or content.  That inspires me. Makes my mind fall to ease. I want each word, each note, to make colors fly, Hearts break… music is a part of who I am.

Wobble
Bass That Echoes
Sending Chills Through My Bones
Vibrations, Hyptnotic
Alive



Sleepless
Eyes Wide Open
Pitch Black Surrounds Me
Nightmares Come to Life Again
Wake Up

The "Counter-Culture"

When I think "Counter-Culture", I always think back to the 1920s-1960s. Each generation seems to rebel against one another. In the '20s, it was "Flappers". In the '60s it was the "Hippies". Now, its the "Hipsters" , which were cool, before being cool was cool. I'm just saying that the "Counter-Culture" is a part of Society's natural order. I feel we need this intermidiate questioning and rebellion towards rules in order to keep peace, and ideas flowing.
