October 4, 2009Dimensional Journies: Droppings Of A Perennial MisfitI've come to the conclusion that as much as I would like to leave those high school insecurities behind, they find a way to rear their ugly heads every once in a while. Nothing of note happened, really. I was playing games on Facebook, where I have all of my real life childhood/high school friends. Sometimes I look at their status updates and for whatever reason I am whisked back to the days of never quite fitting in. Don't get me wrong, I had friends. I'm actually still close to a few of them. However, I still get these feelings of inadequacy when I see their updates. I suppose an easy lateral would be that it's a direct reflection of how I feel today. Their lives appear to be in control, with jobs, money, good looks and such, where mine is a day-to-day struggle with money, health problems and no job. But it's not just that, either. I'm different from them. I was different then and I'm different now, but on another level altogether. I've come to use the internet as a way of expressing myself in as raw a state as possible. It's cathartic in ways I can barely express. When I express myself in this manner on Facebook? Completely different reaction than I get here. Naturally, I've been blogging here a long time so it goes without say that some will be taken back by my words. Still, it's strange to see some of the reactions I get. It makes me wonder if it's me, or it's them. Maybe a little bit of both. I've been honest on Buzznet in a way I haven't been anywhere else in many years. I feel comfortable unleashing the rage/sadness/bitterness/sarcasm here. People here understand that a person isn't necessarily having a breakdown if they rant hardcore or cry emo into their journal. My real life friends on Facebook? A different story altogether....and I've known the particular people I am referring to most of my life. It's not like I haven't been known to rage or purge my feelings in real life. It's one of my telling traits, to be totally blunt about it. So why the big surprise on their part? Is it because we don't see each other on a regular basis? Is it because they are wrapped up? Is it me? Really...is it me? Maybe I am nuts. Maybe I am certifiable. Last time I wrote a journal there, I poured out my feelings of frustration. Life had me in a tight spot and I sorely needed the vent. The results? One friend telling me I should go to a house of worship to help quell the inner beast and another one got on the phone with a friend because she was frightened for me. Truthfully, the second friend was completely in her right because we hadn't talked in 15 years and she had no idea what was up with me. I talked to her and explained to her that this is what I do when I need to vent. No filters, pure rumenation. The other friend? I thought she would know better. She is a person I was once very close to and she's backed away from me. Somehow, my shit storm of emotions might bring her down. She also emailed me to say that she was there for me if I needed to talk. I simply said "Thanks" and walked away from it. I can't share myself with someone whom I've known since I was 7 that will simply tell me to go to church when I am at my wits end. It's not bad advice, but it's impossible to connect with someone who distances themselves from you when you are at your most vulnerable. I can't say I'm surprised, as it was always more of a one-sided friendship anyway. When she had her crises, I was there by her side. When it comes to me, it's like I'm some radioactive force that shouldn't be approached. I'm going to be 36 years old this year. The older I get, the more I ascribe to the old adage "I'm too old for this shit." And I truly am. Perhaps it was a bad move to post any blogs on Facebook. The most fucked up part about it is it feels like a rejection. So many of us blog because what we feel can't be said to the people in our real lives....or in many cases, we don't want to. It's like high school. The minute I post something that freaks people out, the feelings of inadequacy come back. Suddenly, I am 14-years old again, getting laughed at or ridiculed because they think I'm a freak. So I default to the knee-jerk reaction of going silent to avoid further scrutiny....and I hate it. Again, I'm getting older. With age, I have developed a lower threshold for bullshit than ever before. Perhaps as they get older, they have a lower threshold for mine. Fair enough.

July 13, 2009RewindSo I restarted my buzznet. I decided to make one during the summer but I didn't really care much about it. I think I'm starting to like it. I've changed a lot during the year. I found myself loving Punk Rock and other different types of music. I think my favorite bands indeed are Green Day, My Chemical Romance, Sum 41, Blink 182, The Clash, Iggy Pop, The Cure, Ramones, Misfits and so on. I used to listen a lot to what kids listen to. Kind of more disney, I think im over that crap already thank god C:

January 15, 2009Clothing Trends & MusicWow I am so exhausted right now! My eyes, if you could see them, have little bags underneath them which makes it look like I got punched in the face, haha! Well to take my mind off all that has been going on lately, I've decided to look up some unique clothing (mostly shirts and accessories) that I love:
This one is from IMPOLITE by Alex Evans : soimpolite.com Alex Evans is a photographer/model who sells clothing. It hasn't really had any big hits yet but hopefully it will soon after he starts getting more designs. This only costs 20$ so I think it's worth buying if you live in the U.S. or Canada!
I think it's so cute! The design on it is perfect, the color, and even the way the sleeves are. I just love everything about this one! MORE SHIRTS/ACESSORIES I LIKE:
There was a lot more things that I wanted to show but all of them mostly had weird pictures. It didn't look like the piece of clothing I wanted. Also, I'm starting to really get into indie music. I wasn't really before but I've found a few good bands recently that I can't stop singing too. The one I really hate that's stuck in my head is Rihanna's song "Disturbia". They have overplayed that song TOO MANY TIMES!! I also have been listening to MGMT a lot lately. does anyone know what genre of music to put them in?? xoxo, VintageViolence

October 21, 2008Seven Essential Songs For HallloweenThe perfect Halloween mix is a hard thing to create. I should know, every Halloween I try. & every Halloween I get really frustrated & never finish it. There are so many directions to go. You can go with your classic tacky tunes like the Monster Mash or just make a whole CD full of pyschobilly & horror punk songs as their genres generally apply to halloweenish themes. Or you can just leave on the Misfits for the whole month of October & you would be pretty much set. Whatever songs you decide to play this year here are some essentials that no Halloween is complete with. Bauhaus – Bela Lugosi’s Dead In my mind this will always & forever be the theme to Halloween. The whole song, which is nine minutes long, is just down right creepy. The way the guitar drones on & Peter Murhy cries “Undead, Undead” over & over again is enough to send chills down any skeletons spine. Concrete Blonde – The Bloodletting Best song ever written about vampires, hands down. This is the kind of song that makes you want to wear all black, drink red wine & smoke cloves all day. The Cramps – Surfin’ Dead The Cramps are one of those bands that have a lot of Halloween themed songs. I Was A Teenage Werewolf, Zombie Dance, Human Fly, Aloha From Hell. Almost any of their songs are prefect for the ghoulish occasion, but I feel like Surfin’ Dead fits the mood best. Anything by The Misfits Seriously, they don’t have one song that isn’t appropriate for Halloween. All of them about zombies, skulls, killing people, monsters, et cetera. But if you don’t want to play the same band over & over, you are in luck cause everyone & their mother has covered a Misfits song. My personal favorites being Skulls by the Lemonheads, Halloween by Alkaline Trio, Hybrid Moments by Idiot Pilot & No Use For A Name, Where Eagles Dare by Atom & His Package, Astro Zombies by My Chemical Romance, & a very nice Misfits Medley done by Zombina & the Skeletones. The Ramones – Pet Semetery The song stated above was written for the movie adaptation of the Stephen King book of the same name. So you know its fucking good. I was raised on the Ramones & Stephen King. Don’t question my logic. Screamin’ Jay Hawkins – I Put A Spell On You This song never fails to blow me away. I honesly don’t even know what to say about it. It would be a sin not to play it on Halloween, that’s how amazing it is. Siousxie & The Banshees – Halloween Similar to the Cramps, this band has a handful of songs for halloween. Generally speaking Goths capture the dark spirit of the season, instead of just screaming about blood and zombies, they really make you feel like that apocalypse is right at your door. So there they are. Seven songs (well actually six songs & a band, but whatever) you have to have on your Halloween mix this year. & if you don't Satan will eat your soul. TRUFAX. Related Groups:
List Love, the mixtape

September 5, 2008JEM! TRULY OUTRAGEOUS!This was one of my favorite shows when I was little. I still have old episodes on vhs that I watch sometimes. And I still think they looked damn cool!
I think their rival band, the Misfits, were better though! What was your favorite show growing up?

June 4, 2008Plight Of The MisfitYou’re a loner, you’re a loser. You’re an outcast, you’re an emo. No one wants to have prejudices shoved in their faces based on the clothes they wear or the colour of their hair. But for the emo subculture, this is an everyday reality. Read on...
