ディル・アン・グレイ

Grief live @ The Avalon 2007


I still vividly remember that night.

This has been the only band my Mom has hated experiencing live. I don't blame her considering it was definitely different in comparison to other bands we often see. Plus, she had gotten sick so that made it worse with the loud speakers and screaming. I on the other hand, LOVED it! :)

日本の音楽のための私の情熱は帰ってきた--

and I couldn't feel any happier!! The idea of seeing my favorite Japanese band again excites me to no end! I haven't attended a Japanese show in such a long time! Let alone, a convention. I missed this.

Last night I listened to alice nine., 12012, dir en grey, nightmare, Plastic Tree and a wave of nostalgia hit me. It reminded me of many friends I've made through my fascination with Japanland.

I've set my mind. I WILL go to Japan. I will go and visit Kyoto, Shinjuku, Osaka, Tokyo, Nagoya, and all the other wonderful cities! AND SHIBUYA, the shopping district of Japan! The mere thought of setting foot on Japanese soil makes me so happy! I can't wait, I can't wait!

Kyoto will be filled with visits to temples and gardens.

SHIBUYA! I'd shop 'til I drop. Brands like h. naoto, SEX POT ReVeNGe, and sexy dynamite london!

I can't recall when I drifted away from the Japanese music scene. I'm assuming it was when Thee Out Mods left to Japan, but I could be wrong. Nonetheless, my love for this artist & band has been rekindled. I'm definitely seeing them again in October.



I still remember the first song I heard by them. After viewing the film above, I was memorized. I didn't think this would be the band that would alter my life: musically, socially, and personally.

I feel the nostalgia coming on.

Punch Drunk

I despise being on my period. It screws me up entirely! My face breaks out with pimples, my knees and back are in pain, I have horrible cramps, my head hurts, and I get overly emotional and depressed. I hate this crap.

That being said, I feel like a depressed mop. I think I just want to fall off the face of the Earth. I don't even know why I feel so depressed (besides my period). I just don't feel the need to live right now. Yuck.

I'm surfing Netflix trying to find a film I can watch instantly. I practically slept all day with this gift Mother Nature sent yesterday evening. I just came across The Breakfast Club and I think I'll settle on that.

I'm starting to listen to Incubus again. I'm feeling my ~spiritual side sinking in. Watching this video = nostalgia. I miss 90's fashion for men. The skinny jeans now are eh; only a certain few can pull it off.

This is for the people of the sun

I'm in dire need of my license and a car. After experiencing One Day As A Lion live, I've become intrigued yet again in the Chicano movement. Zack de la Rocha and Tom Morello have been my main muse in this interest.

I wish I could do more rather than just sitting back and watching things happen. This is why the car comes into play. If I could drive, I wouldn't have to bother Mother and take off to rallies, protests, walks, etc. especially now because of SB1070. I know it's a controversial topic but it's a law that I do not support whatsoever. I AM aware of the state rights but I personally don't agree with it and that is my stance.



I never really took pride in my nationality. As a matter of fact, when I was younger I used to hate the color of my skin. I thought it was ugly to be brown because I certainly didn't feel beautiful. I disliked certain colors like pink because I thought it didn't fit the color of my skin. My mother tried reasoning with me telling me that my color is something I should be proud of and her friends would tell me the same thing. After time passed I didn't think about it much. It wasn't something I thought about and I felt objective when it came to my ethnicity.

However all of that changed once I got into high school. I became aware of my surroundings, my family's background, and most importantly I became aware of what kind of person I was. I'm continuing to evolve and I try to be conscious of that.

It was just recently in my junior year of high school that I fully embraced my ethnicity. I take pride in being Mexican-American; a Chicana. I've become more in tune with my culture, my language, and my beliefs. Thinking back on how I used to feel about my color saddens me.

Due to that I find myself immersed with fascination for the indigenous people of Mexico, specifically The Zapatista movement. Another reason why I'd like to get a car & get myself down to Chiapas and help out the community.

A world of neverending happiness

Yesterday I went out with my pal Nessa, her boyfriend and our friend Zach to the Stonewood mall. I personally didn't plan on buying anything considering I'm saving up for concerts but I succumbed. We headed towards the music warehouse and of course I had to come across Incubus' live DVDs and that's when I caved. They had their Alive @ Red Rocks and Look Alive along with their CDs. I would've got the Red Rocks DVD however I made myself a ghetto version of it on my computer so I settled for the latter.

Anyways, afterwords I wanted to show Nessa some Macbeth shoes I found and once we walked into the store my mind went crazy. I found the same guy I had met last December. Holy cow what are the odds of that! I got to chat with the dude again and we had a lovely conversation.

Yeesh. I was going to go into detail about our convo but I'm chatting with a guy on Omegle and we've got an interesting conversation going!
