wow

note: this has nothing to do with recent allegations against yours truly

dear jay-z,

i liked D.O.A. [not because i have anything against sing song pop/rap]

but you did this... forever young

and now it would appear that you do melody

you don't have to pick a side, just let on if your being sarcastic.
it gets bipolar.

************************************
update: i found this after i wrote the above message :)

interview from here

Complex: You’ve said that Straight No Chaser will have lots of Auto-Tune and it’s all over the two singles. Does “Death Of Auto-Tune” make you want to tone it down at all?

Mr. Hudson: It’s funny, isn’t it? I wish Jay had told me a couple months ago that he was going to kill Auto-Tune. Maybe we would have mixed the album differently. I think it’s good that Jay is getting people to think. I really look up to him. He’s the boss, isn’t he? But he’s the gaffer. I have huge respect for him as an artist and I can’t even process how much of an honor it is to be on Blueprint 3. But yeah, when I saw that “Death Of Auto-Tune” I was like, “oh dear.” [Laughs] My album is going to come out around August or September here, so hopefully it won’t be too late for me to sneak a few more Auto-Tune tracks in. Ultimately, it’s just starting a debate and it’s good to have that debate.

Complex: Did you use Auto-Tune on “Forever Young,” the song you did on Blueprint 3?

Mr. Hudson: No. That would be a problem, wouldn’t it? And I think that shows that I don’t need it. And if you come to a live show you’ll see I don’t use it, I’ll sing all of these songs without Auto-Tune. It’s just a tool in the studio to make, in the words of ‘Ye, “shit sound dope.”

burt's bees, lip shimmer in merlot: part 1

old news - Burt's Bees got bought out by Clorox because Clorox was all we need to get in on this natural products healthy planet rah rah business and I'm all for healthy rah rah and although at first i was upset by the buyout i am now pleased that the green movement has become strong enough to sway big companies and there is no need for me to be an uppity cynical biatch 24-7 plus it would by epically hypocritical for me to rant for purity and sincerity because I'm not eco-friendly and I'm not an idealist (idealists get a hypocrisy pass btw)

my news -
- It is only "merlot" if merlot is scarlet, which its not, so suck it Burt
- It feels nice, cold and prickly, for a long time
- All the color bleeds out to the lip line
- It doesn't shimmer, but it's not matte, ykwim? (some of the shades do shimmer though btw)
- The consistency is nice
- works as a chap stick

what do sunglasses say about people?



last night, in a rare moment of fever free lucidity, me and my brother had a friendly argument.

recently he bought a pair of ... sporty ... *cough* fugly Oakleys. yeah

and then when he saw my new sunnies he was all, "haha you look like Crockett from Miami Vise"

COME AGAIN?!

"or Tom Cruise in Top Gun"

... he is a creative kid, memory like a whip...

anywho i had Paula model the glasses for me, and i think she looks hot - even in her pajamas.

a response/meaningless raving

Re: summer clothes - feeling the good vibrations, i choose them to stay

hahahahahaha
luvly vani, you have hit on the perfect example of why "trends" are lame.

fashion is art. forever 21 is the equivalent of a poster board art print.

its like that story you read shivani,
the artist
or something ...... gogol wrote it
the artist got all mainstream sell out business for the money

people don't need to emulate high fashion in their everyday wardrobes.
better to just hint at it... like a tribute - instead of a desperate failure

The Glass Menagerie (part uno)

this guy who calls himself Tennessee, he wrote some plays.
i am reading one

i think he must have been an odd fish.

one of my teachers said that you should try not to think about authors while reading.
i say fuck that,
because Mr. Williams sort of invites the reader to get involved in something something fallacy
(not the pathetic fallacy, the other one)

also
T.W. (to personal? whtevr...) dislikes fire escapes, uh...
because society is burning down and all that. but that is all part of the metaphors and clearly he his transferring his anger.

they say transference is bad. why? well duh... but still.

LOTSA metaphors....
Jesus ............................

come out and say it.

why i am a hippo-crit aren't i.

stream of consciousness: existentialism

i disagree with everything i've been told about it.

this is why:
idealist are always hypocrites.
we don't have complete control over our actions.
people are inherently social and affected by others.
our minds and thoughts are partially products of our genetics.

what strikes me about existentialism is that it allows people to not to care ... but still keep their guilt.

whatever, i'm 16, i don't know anything. that's just what it looks like.
(looks like? "looks" what i'm i seeing? zilch)

emerson told me to trust myself "self reliance".

i luv you emerson. i love that essay - or whatever it is.
(is it an essay?)

who was it that warned america about political parties?
apparently no one was paying attention. or people just can't help themselves.

we do end up in groups.
doesn't mean we have to stop being individuals.

i like democracy.
groups of individuals.
personally though, america seems a little big.
more power for local governments i think.

i have a friend who has a grandfather who says things and i have forgotten what i was saying. that self reliance thing got my brain all "upside-downy".

"upside-downy"
greta garbo said that.
