TWEENS THESE DAYS When was the last time you dealt with tweens?...

TWEENS THESE DAYS

When was the last time you dealt with tweens? This past Sunday i actually got absorbed by a mob of them in Chinatown. All the sudden I was in it, lost in a wave of gossip, epi-pens and orthodontic artistry, even TOUCHING them. It was a very natural absorption, proving my theory that I am most certainly going through a tween stage. I mean, I’m wearing camouflage and hello kitty, listening to the NOW mixes exclusively, I dyed my hair, I’m giving handjobs left and right, I’m debating a belly-button piercing, I’m being reckless, throwing parties and getting reprimanded by my parents….I’m a tween.

But it seems this phase of mine came at a relevant time as tweens are very in these days. You guys have all seen Rebecca Black by this point so I won’t even go there. But have you seen this dude? He is SUCH a tween! I mean his innocent allusions to his homosexuality, his stoic siblings in the background, that cool arms-crossed-lean-back move. It’s too too good.

Adults with Braces

Wed, 23 Feb 2011 16:10:00 -0500

Adults with Braces are one of the many things that crack me up consistently. They are just so shameless about, grinning big and eating things that middle-schoolers/high-schoolers have steered clear from, like corn, carrots and beets.

I guess Colombia just got braces technology cos when I go back, every 30-something has a fucking pair. And they’re speaking to me in this lispy spanish and they have empanada innards matted to their teeth and I’m trying to take a few steps back cos I keep envisioning the meat wads flying at my face with every tongue flick.

So I Went to a GWAR show last night...

Mon, 21 Feb 2011 15:00:00 -0500

I’d been toying with the idea of going to a gwar show for several months now, intrigued but frightened. I just assumed I would probably die at one of their shows show from either getting sacrificed to the gods of mosh or guzzling so much fake blood that my body would get confused and start circulating the dyed corn starch. However, after hours of research on gwar concerts, i evaluated that the possibility of surviving was much higher than I had previously thought. After reading through a lot of material, I came across the line that would be the deciding factor in attending the show:

“Gwar fans are some of the nicest people in the world. They may look like scummy rapists and they definitely smell like a still-birth but they’re good people who will have your back.”

I was sold. So I got tickets to the Gwar show at Music Hall of Williamsburg to go with the 3 most bad-ass dudes ever. They may not look like much and they definitely stood out amongst the crowd of Rake Yohn’s and their collective weight was probably a fifth of the average weight of these GWARriors but they were very excited to get beat up, lose teeth, lose dignity and get soaked in UFL’s (Unidentifiable flying liquids). As was I. So first we went to a bar in the Burg and took a few shots. We got in line at the concert and talked smack to some dumb couple who insisted that i exchange numbers with them in case I would need to go to the hospital later. thanks for the optimism, losers.

As soon as we got in, we went to the bar and pounded a couple more shots then went upstairs and claimed our space on the floor. The crowd was pretty calm before Gwar came on but the second they started to shred, the gwarriors erupted into a moshing frenzy of hate, love and hormones. I was right in it for a while, jumping and punching the air with my new companions, and slipping and sliding and moving with the crowd involuntarily. In the first few minutes, my friend had already gotten punched in the face and was bleeding and his shirt was covered with deep red from his own real blood and a diluted red from the fake blood. In between the first few songs I looked around and realized I had lost sight of my friends, which was fine. The crowd would bring us together at some point and then push us away again. It was just the nature of the show. I asked my new friend, a big dude with a shirt that read “Born to Fuck” to lift me up into the crowd. He obliged and the next thing I know I was riding a wave of hands and looking at Gwar from inside-out upside down. Needless to say, I felt pretty bad-ass.

I purposely wore a white shirt to see what crazy liquids would be thrown at me. Within 20 minutes, I was drenched in blood, my hair was matted to my head and I looked like I was just thrown from the womb.

At most points in the night, I was IN it. With the fucking people, pounding and pushing and jumping. Sometimes I wouldn’t even have to move and I would be pulled and pushed and twirled. Other times, my fellow companions would politely shove me to the side. I could hold my own but when you’re in between 4 dudes that way 250 lbs each and are essentially professional metal dudes, you step away. I went crowd-surfing a couple more times after, got into the pit a couple more times but had one slightly scary moment and pulled away for a little bit. The floor was drenched with blood and so became very slippery. My shoes, I realized, had little traction and turned into a personal slip n slide. At one point, I slipped so fast and fell right into the mosh pit, like vertical on the ground and around me were steel-toe combat boots jumping centimeters from my head. But within seconds I was back on my feet, with the help of some really nice dudes who had seen my fall and envisioned a boot crushing my skull and my teeth popping out. It would have ruled for probably everyone but me but sacrificing my body to the gods of metal is a nice way to go off, no?

When Gwar finished, they started playing “Staying Alive” by the BeeGee’s on the speakers and in a total nonchalance, and as if everyone had not just been throwing elbows and headbutting the shit out of eachother, the whole crowd just started swaying gently with the music. We got outside and realized our friend was missing so we decided to assume he was okay and went to the diner. We ate meatloaf which is pretty much the only suitable thing to eat after attending a gwar show. that or raw bear flesh.

(that used to be a white shirt) I know what you guys are thinking. Wow you look really fucking good for having just rubbed up on sweaty metal-heads and having been groped and blooded up. I guess I was just made for metal. Anyways, now my skin is just permanently tinted pink.

I didn’t really know I’d be so into metal. Especially cos I also really like the ballet and love a good Rihanna song.

Follow-up story: turns out the friend who we lost (I will not use his name) got picked up by the police cos his shirt was covered in real and fake blood and so naturally they thought he was really hurt. they made him go to the hospital, even though he tried to explain to them that he was just at a metal show and some of the blood was real but most of it was fake and he really didn’t need to go to the hospital but i imagine he was slurring pretty badly and wasn’t very comprehendable.

Valentine's Day

Mon, 14 Feb 2011 10:34:13 -0500

I actually don’t mind Valentine’s Day coz usually my mom makes me heart-shaped pancakes with strawberries and my dad gives me chocolate and a stuffed bear and tells me how pretty and perfect I am. But because both my parents dont live in this country anymore, I just had a protein shake for breakfast and went to work sans chocolate and sans stuffed animal. i didnt even add strawberries to give it a little valentine’s color. just white - the color of my empty soul on this god-forsaken day.

i think i’ll go to a Riot Grrrl tribute concert tonight.

Anyways…HAPPY VALENTINE’S DAY TO YOU ALL!!! enjoy this day that has no meaning except another excuse for marketers to make money off cheap trinkets.

Why your Old AOL screen-names are really important

Thu, 10 Feb 2011 17:36:00 -0500

the next guy i meet, im just gonna ask what his screen-names were in middle school/early high-school, because we all know that by junior year, we changed our screen-names to seem more ~~“professional”~~ cool, which is why we all have lame gmail addresses now. But if you look back at those screen-names you can draw a lot of information from them.

For example, here is a short history of my screen-names.

1. brownEydGirl2000 (circa 2000) this was my first screen-name. got it in 8th grade, only to find out i was like a year late and everyone had already had one for like eevvverrrrr, which was totally embarrassing. anyways at the time, i was really proud of having brown eyes i guess. now looking back, this makes me look like the boringest, lamest person ever. brown eyes are so uncool!!!!!

2. LinkinGirl567 (circa 2000) dont even start with me. all the cool kids were listening to linkin park so i just hopped on the bandwagon. obviously the only way to show affection towards a music band was to have your screen-name reference them. duh.

3. ManuelaOdell92 (circa 2001) When i moved to a new high school, i lied and said i didn’t have a screen-name, so i made up the most basic one. i thought it was cool cos it had my full name and the street that i lived on.

4. Punkyfish759 (circa 2001) Someone told me that putting my full name and street in a screen-name was like the stupidest thing ever, and did i want to be kidnapped and raped? and that i should change it. i used to wear this shirt that said punkyfish, so my friend had a brilliant idea and told me to make my screen-name punkyfish. then i added some random numbers to give myself this mysterious and esoteric aura. “what do those numbers mean?” they would ask. “you dont want to know…” id respond

5. mgirlboo87 (circa 2002) who knows why i made this one. I was just over my faux-punk persona and wanted to be a little more mature or something. it also gave me an “in” with the hip-hop kids. they were like oh we can chat with you cos you have the word “boo” in your screen-name. very strategic on my part.

6. InCuBu$ruLeZ (circa 2002) started getting reaaaaalllyyy into incubus and then my bff samantha changed her screen-name to InCuBusAtTaCkS87 and i got so jealous that i had to change mine obvi. I can remember the exact letters that I capitalized but you get the idea.

7. mgirlboo87(c.2002-present) brought this baby back and have been with him ever since.

Other screen-names I was totally jealous of:

Almost 50% of the US poopulation is on Facebook. But we also must consider all the dead people who cant remove their facebook. And the babies. And the stoners who forget their passwords and have to make new accounts
Almost 50% of the UK population is on Facebook.
But only like an eighth of less developed countries are on Facebook, like Indonesia, India etc. I didn’t actually do the math just GUESSTIMATED
Who the hell is Megan Fox?
Why isn’t Jay-Z ranked higher than Eminem?
Why isn’t Ellen DeGeners on that list at all?
Facebook sucks. I’m going back on myspace

People have been asking what that number is on my blog. It’s a ticker that shows how many people have clicked my blog. 3000 and whatever may seem like a large number but I should tell you all that I actually click my blog about 100 times a day….So the majority of that number is just me refreshing…

In the mid-70s (i guess), the stones played a show in Colombia, believe it or not. and my mother went and swears that mick jagger winked at her cos she was like front row and a total latina babe. I told her it was probably just a twitch from his cocaine usage.
