la dolce vita.

Ohhhh, now I get it..

Yeah I'm a slow one. I don't like to follow the hype really when it comes to anything, especially movies and music, which I realize can sometimes be a huge downfall of mine. I just don't want to be disappointed or even have the satisfaction of saying I told you so, since most of the time if something is supposedly that awesome, I tend to think it sucks, probably because I'm a huge a-hole. Also there is something extremely comforting in not knowing if something is as good as everyone says it is, dreaming up the possibilities of an outcome is sometimes far more enjoyable then the actuality of it. Maybe that's just me. I guess I'm not just talking about movies with that statement, but for times sake lets revert back to the purpose of this 8 AM posting. (yes I did sleep last night, I just wake up insanely early sometimes for no reason, I just try to go with it now, I assume my body knows what it needs far better then I do) So last night I finally decided to take the plunge and watch Juno for the first time, and you know what, come to think of it, when this movie was released and the world was abuzz, I really don't think that was the time for me to fully enjoy it anyways, and just to stray away slightly again, I think things come into your life at precisely the right time, whether big or small, even if they don't seem to make any sense then, they will eventually, if you take the time to analyze them with an open mind. People tend to make things into what they want or think they should be, I'm not sure if that is good or bad, I don't know if I ever will, which is something I have made peace with, for now. Ha yes, yes, back to the original subject, as you all know I have a teensy weensy attention span, which I have also come to accept. Juno is everything and possibly more, that everyone and their Too cool for school hipster friends said it was. I am bowing down and kissing the ring bitch. I can admit when I'm wrong, and you know what, I sometimes would rather be wrong, since I tend to be quite the pessimist when it comes to this stuff. I think this movie was brilliant, I think I can count on my fingers how many times I have made that statement about a movie, and to top it off, it could quite possibly be the best soundtrack I have EVER heard. Juno did annoy me slightly sometimes with her over the top "I'm a nerd because it's cool and I choose to be" witticisms and sometimes eye rolling comments, but all and all she's the kind of chick we all know one way or another, she's either one of our closest friends, or we wish she would be. Seeing this movie has actually made me excited about cinema again, which is something that has not happened since god knows when. I mean, I was super excited about Sex in the city, and yeah it was really good, but this film literally pureed, grinded, and chopped my emotions so much that I it made me feel everything at the same time, to me that is when something is truly brilliant, I think we have all been dumbed down by the lack of this standard in almost every form of entertainment. Whether it be music, movies, books, periodicals, art or whatever you like to do in your spare time, so much of it is compromised in our prepackaged for the masses world. AHHH!!! There I go again. Ok, I'm gonna stop, right now, and just end with this; I wish I had 4 hands, I would give this movie/soundtrack, 4 thumbs up. PERIOD.

Uhhhh, totally weird..

The meaning of sign SCORPIO

Eighth sign of the zodiac

Your element: Water
Your ruling planet: Mars and Pluto
Tarot card corresponding to your sign: Death
Your lucky color: Black
Your stone: Amethyst

First, a word about your tarot card, the significance of which might be worrying you. Know that, in the symbolism of the tarot, Death indicates that which dies in order to be born anew in a better form. When it is reversed the Death card may indeed mean the end of something. But when it is right side up it evokes rebirth, renewal, a new beginning. This is characteristic of your sign. You sometimes have a tendency to link the very good with the very negative.

Like all the signs of Water you are a very deep, mysterious, unfathomable being, sometimes inaccessible and uncontrollable. Your unconscious is so strong and so rich that psychoanalysis seems to have been invented for you. Your imagination is very powerful and very fertile. When you were very young, for example, you had thoughts which exceeded those of other children your age.

With you there is no chance of either dullness or mediocrity. You have a taste for the absolute, and this is why existence sometimes seems difficult to you. You would like your life to be in perpetual movement, always fed by novelty and the exceptional. This isn't always easy to achieve, and you don't always give yourself the means to make it happen, even when great changes pass within your reach.

The influence of Mars can make you combative and masterful. But be careful, because Pluto stirs up your deepest doubts and worries in order to draw you towards failure. This opposition means that sometimes you end up destroying what you love.

In love, you have many requirements and many spiritual states that others sometimes have difficulty following. You occasionally run the risk of ruining relationships by giving too much importance to difficulties which could have been resolved with more understanding.

You are fully conscious of your great qualities: an enterprising spirit, imagination, sensuality, charm, magnetism. But you also know your faults: desire for control, self-injurious behavior, impassioned behavior, tendency to complicate things and situations.

Your relations to the other signs:

You get along fairly well with Cancers as long as both your imaginations are alike; if not, the relationships risk being superficial. You should learn to truly appreciate certain aspects of Capricorns, who may be able to bring you a lot.

You risk getting into conflict with Tauruses as soon as these relations become too close. With Geminis certain passions can become excessive and end badly. Aquariuses have an instinctive tendency to flee from you. It's up to you to decide whether you want to win them over.

This short, unassuming analysis can help you to better conduct your existence. To learn to know yourself better allows you to maximize your strengths and minimize your weaknesses.

The people who succeed in life are often those who know consciously or unconsciously to make the most of their talents, their advantages, and their strengths, while understanding how to maintain control over their weaknesses.

It's so motherluvin hot.

Damn son. Seriously think New York heat is like no other, except maybe heat on Mars. It reminds me of the scene in Total Recall when Arnold's helmet cracks and his eyeballs git all googley and he makes this fantastic noise. Let's recap that moment, shall we?

Warning!!!


Holy shit man. So the story begins like this.. Sitting in bed, 2 AM, watching my so called life on ghetto rigged laptop. Thinking something sweet sounds good, but what? I go to explore the hidden depths of the fridge looking for some sort of delicious treat to satisfy my craving.. Then, by chance, I happen upon a lone chocolate chip cookie in the freezer. "fuck yeah!" I exclaim in my head, "this cookie has been here for a while.." I convince myself, "they forgot about it for sure!" reasoning with myself that it is OK to eat this cookie, even though it belongs to my room mates. The cookie is broken, crispy and in a Ziploc bag that we don't use in this house, the kind without the zipper, we are HUGE fan's of the zipper, so convenient.. Anyhoo, I run off to my room with my supposed treasure, flip good ol' M.S.C.L back on and begin to munch. After eating it, while I was temporarily satiated, I noted the texture of the cookie, strange.. Like it didn't want to stay together, why would that be.. Well about an hour later I found out when I started giggling, thinking about cadbury eggs and doritos. this "cookie" was loaded CHUCK FULL of mother luvin HASH. SSSSSSSSHHHHHHHHIIIITTTT!!!!! I was in the 23rd dimension for a good 4 hours, not enjoying it at all. Desperate for sleep, cotton mouthed and wanting to run to the nearest deli. I finally fell asleep at 5 AM. Moral of the story? Stay away from unidentified baked goods in the freezer, they probably have massive amounts of drugs in them. Lesson learned.
