Things I find hysterical

This one is disgustingly funny. If you haven't, check out beyonce's video for Single Ladies first... or not, you'll get the point.

Oh life, I love you, it's in my bones. :D

Seeing Wallis Bird live was nothing short of breathtaking. She is without a doubt THE best live performer I've ever seen, and I've seen many. The smile that was on my face as I stood front and center, (right below her, close enough to reach out and pull her neon green shoe laces out of her pink plastic boots), just wouldn't wipe away.



The energy was just pouring off of the stage. It could have been, though I doubt solely, that it was the last day on her tour. She even said at the start that she was gonna go all out, and from things I've heard from other people I couldn't imagine anything more energetic.

In total she broke TWO guitar strings, fired a pic across the room, nearly cried once, lost her kazoo in an orbit around the mic, spat all over, and then the sweetest thing... I'll give you the setting.

It's the ending of the concert, and she's tuning her guitar for her last song. She's already "exited" and run back on saying "I wanna play more" :P so this is definitely the end. As she's tuning, some dude from the corner yells "BECAUSE OF YOU!" which is a Kelly Clarkson song... wtf dude... but since we're all diehards we knew he meant "All For You", but I guess Wallis didn't (I'd just like to add that she wasn't tuning to All For You, it was going to be You Are Mine, she just got dumped, who sings All For You after they got dumped? Tone deaf. PFF.). She started singing Because of You and ended by saying that song needed to burn. <3. href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_-U3rsBAiwic/SS261dybhzI/AAAAAAAAANM/IUqS_j1QVlY/s1600-h/wallll.jpg">

I'm going on and on, but the point I was trying to make was that there's this part in the song where she goes "and I'm alllllll forrrrrr you-oooooo-ohhhhh-ohhhhhh-ohhhhh-ooooooooo-ohhh ba da da ba (repeat oohs and shite)" and she had us sing that alone, and joined back in. When the song was over, she said how hard it is to end a tour and thanked us a fucking lot. She left, and then everybody started singing that part again, and it was SOOOO CUTE. Since I was standing basically on the stage, I could see the door onto the stage, and when I was watching, she crawled down on the floor so the audience couldn't see her but she could see us, and was smiling the BIGGEST smile I think I've ever seen. It was contageous for those of us who could see :D

But it was sad also, because she came back on and waved to us, and started crying. :( I would have more than gladly hugged her! She is such an awesome artist.

So Here's the video I recorded. Couldn't manage more than one because I wanted to look at her, not my camera. Just a little annotation, when she holds up her fist at the end, she's holding one of the strings she broke. :P anddd you'll get to see kazoo orbit. Has anyone else noticed how big that guy who sings Hey There Delilah's nose is? Fuckin A.

Btw, Christian Vinne is a force all his own. Crazzzzy drummer boy, threatening to rival the energy of Wallis. You'll see what I mean. He sounds like the Mahna Mahna Muppet.

Define: Charisma -




Check out her myspace, she has some new songs on there, both of which I love to death but you could have guessed. http://www.myspace.com/wallisbird One of them is called To My Bones, which she played at the concert. And it sounded better than this, which normally would surprise me, but Wallis is one of those artists that you have to see live to get the whole picture. Maybe because she's real instead of all of these prepackaged poptarts? I think so.

Pretty pretty pretty!

Dear Tramgirl,

You really should have talked to me, I mean look! Its snowing!



We could be walking hand in hand out there in the winter wonderland! Or maybe we would just sit and watch because of your limp. It'd be difficult to walk through the snow. Then again, I'm pretty sure if we were hand in hand the snow around us would melt to the pavement.

Or we could just wait for those FUCKING OBSESSIVELY CLEAN GERMANS AND THEIR FUCKING SNOW PLOWS!!! WTF?! Who plows fresh snow that just landed?! GAHH. Natural beauty. PFF. You know they were out there with a dumpster a few weeks ago picking up beautiful fall leaves. IDIOTS! What's it gonna do? Make the grass stronger? Whatever. ugh.

Sincerely,
Justneededanexcusetoshowasnowpicture

Dear TramGirl,

Em

On a lighter note...

How about more CTG!?! Well shut up cause I'm doin' it anyway

Btw I'd like to mention that all depicted CTG events are real. I don't make this shit up.

Yeah, she actually said "fart"

That "Change" I was talking about?

Remember what I said? Well if you don't there's something amazingly convenient about blogs... just go read my last post.

Watching things change politically is kind of like watching the tide come in. The closer it gets, the faster it seems. Example: Watch this video. Read the comments (just follow the url dingbats). Tell me you still doubt what is inevitable.



Thanks Julia. It means a lot.

Dear Somebody

This blog is to a somebody who knows who she is, who just blogged about the passing of prop 8, and overall lack of support for gays in America.

If there is still any doubt in your mind of what America can do, what we can overcome, put it aside. For years it was the African Americans, and now it looks like it's starting to change. Do not think for a second that this will be taken sitting down. Don't doubt for a second that this battle is being fought. It may take years, and it may not be in my lifetime, but the Pledge of Alligence to the United States of America states that liberty and justice are for ALL. It just might take a while for us to make that heard. If there is one thing I've learned in my lifetime, it's that you are who you make yourself. The only problem is that so many gays and lesbians are making themselves based in silence. A very smart man once said that "nothing can stand in the way of millions of voices calling for change". We want change. Now all we need are those voices.

Change will happen. I believe with all of my heart that someday down the road a woman and the love of her life, regardless of gender, will be able to walk down the aisle to holy matrimony. What we suffer now will make it better for those to come, but always keep in mind that "if you step back too far, you aren't fighting at all". Step up. Make your voice heard. You may not be American, but it's not who hears you that matters, it's being heard.

Tell everyone. Talk to your neighbours, your teachers, your friends. Talk to the little girl holding a lemonade stand down the street. Come out on a daily basis, because the more normal it becomes the less hate we as a whole will feel. It isn't gay Americans. It isn't gay Canadians, Russians, Germans, or anything else. It's about people. And it's about those people being willing to make the change, because as fragments representing different nations we are only as strong as the weakest member, but if we are heard in one place, it'll spread.

The reason that an African American man can be elected to be president is simple. Somewhere along the line, the generation before us forgot to pass down the hate. Now it's our turn. To all of the children out there, make sure that they don't use gay as a slur. In fact, the existence of two different sexualities as a linguistic feature separates us more than the actual act.

The only thing we can do is hold our heads high, and make our voices heard. In the stadium that is life, it's the silence of the masses that allows one voice to be heard. Screaming as individuals may mask it, but only chanting as a whole, as one, can the opinion of the figure who happens to have the microphone be overpowered.

I believe in change. I believe in progress. But most importantly I believe in myself, and I believe in you. All of you. Please dont, even for a fraction of a second, forget the power that you as an individual can hold.

As a matter of fact...

Yes. We can.



In my lifetime... In my MOTHERS life time. In the lifetime of my great grandfather, who frequently uses the word Nigger. We can. And we did.

MY GENERATION! The ones stepping up as the largest voting demographic within the next few years. MINE! US! WE are the ones making a change! WE are the ones stepping up to the political batting box, and we're not only going there as a group, but as a group without hatred, without prejudices, and without the fear of the unknown. Sure, as a majority we all still have things to fix, but look at how far we've come. Presidential Elect, Democrat, and black man.

Baby boomers? You did something right.

There are absolutely no words for how amazed I am. I feel like I can, as an American, not cringe at having to admit it, and hold my head up high.

Electionpost

I can't fucking sleep. AAAH.

Anyway, for your amusement:



uhh... see anything wrong there? Just me? l...ol?

So I skipped class today to watch the progression of the US election. This is intense. I went to Subway and Starbucks, one of which is all the way down town, and the other is at this little shopping center about 15 minutes from my house. I hit the downtown first, went rather smoothly but THEN! My subway experience was amazing, in one of those everyday kind of ways.

I walked into Subway... or in front of it cause it was kinda in the middle of the food arena... and these three buffalos were standing there. Mind you it was nine in the morning, it had JUST opened, and the girl working there looked like she'd just gotten out of the shower. I stood behind them, wondering what the heated discussion was about, and when i had finally tuned in, this is what I heard;

Buffalo mom: you don't have EGGS?!!?!
Subway girl: Well no, not yet, we're getting them later today
Buffalo mom: *scoff* then what are we supposed to eat? *turns to daughters*
We'll just have to go to the BAKERY! *stomps off*
Buffalo daughter 1: Excuse me ma'am, this is a sandwich store, right?
Girl: yes, i'm sorry but..
Buff1: and you offer bacon and eggs sandwich on your menu? How can you not have any eggs!? You don't have any eggs? So why is the store open? How can you sell something that isn't offered?
Girl: well i'm sorry, but i can offer you this *expounds*
Buff1: *turns to mom and buffasister* *gives the thumbs up and smug grin* *directs them to sit down at table*

anyway, this subway girl was, by the time i got up there, fumbling in a panic and being generally adorable, so i asked what was up. apparently their toaster was broken so the bread wasn't done yet and they were low on stuff cause it was being sent in later. but they had 2 pieces of full size bread left, so i was like it's all good, and i started to leave, but she was like WAIT! is it okay if you just have half size sandwiches, so i said okay. anyway, here's the list of completely adorable things that happened;

1. first, she made one WHOLE sandwich with the meat for my moms sandwich, and then remembered so she removed everything and started over, saying sorry too many times to count and explaining how confused she was
2. asked if i wanted them toasted, then realized the toaster was off and told me that i'd have to wait a while until i turned it on, and said "i see you already have coffee, so... uh... can i interest you in MORE coffee while you wait?" so i said it's okay i dont need it toasted and she ... pranced* around smiling and tripping over herself and still appologizing
3. put the bacon in the mocrowave from my moms sandwich to cook it *story continued
4. when putting vegetables on my sandwich, asked what i wanted, i said no tomatos, she promptly started putting tomatos on, and i was like uhm no tomatos please? and then she started apologizing again, and further explaining her predicament
5. started to close the sandwiches, and i asked "what's with the bacon?" and she said "i thought you said you *didnt* want me to bake it!" "...it's okay, everything's good" "... OH! bacON! I thought you wanted me to bake it! ughh i'm so sorry" etc
6. Completely forgot about the buffalos sandwiches and just left them sitting there until she'd finished with mine

anyway, those were the highlights, AND i got two euros off. :D maybe i should go to that subway more often.
