:: m e l i s s a’s insane ramblings ::

Hows things with you guys? hope all is well and it its not…here’s a word of comfort; patience.

I know, what finally sparked my ire for this weekend.  If you’ve been paying attention, you sorta know my feelings on Madonna.  They haven’t changed.  My main problem this weekend came out of going to a bar (doesn’t it always?) and observing the "Madonna Effect".  The "Madonna Effect" is that, whenever Madonna is played, all girls in the bar (in this order):  realize the song is Madonna, scream while jumping up and down with their friends, either put down their drinks which have slightly spilled, or hold their beer bottle like a microphone, start tossing their head back and forth, with their hair flying around like a skittish horse’s mane, and start singing loudly and shrilly (shrilly? Is that a word?  If not, it should be…).  Now, i can understand the "Madonna Effect" working for songs like material girl, like a virgin, vogue, etc. (i.e. songs from over 10 years ago.), but when will people start to admit that she sucks?  HER NEW MUSIC SUCKS PEOPLE!  She’s been on the way down for years.  Do you remember her rap?  it makes me shudder just thinking about it.  She’s awful.  Now, i was never a huge fan of even her old stuff, but, at this point, she is pretty much just living off reputation.  And what a reputation she has!  For some reason, her music wasn’t classified with the rest of the 80s pop princesses.  Do you see girls going crazy at bars for Cyndi Lauper?  And she had Captain Lou Albano.  Madonna cemented her legacy having sex with assorted animals, which is something little cyndi refused to do.  Now cyndi lauper is playing at b rate clubs and getting occasional tv spots as a former star, while madonna has free reign to keep putting out shitty music.  One day her kid is going to find a video of her mom getting mounted by a bull, and be scarred for life…  I can almost picture the conversation:  "Now Rocco, [who names a kid rocco?  honestly, although, it's probably better than apple] I know what your friends showed you may have upset you a little bit, but you need to understand that mommy was experimenting, which is natural and healthy.  Also, If mommy didn’t participate in that gang bang, you wouldn’t have a house right now.  So deal with it."

So anyway, back at the bar, i was standing with a friend talking.  The music in this place was awful.  I mean, truly awful.  The DJ seemed quite fond of this one song that lasted for 15 minutes, and it sounded like someone was strangling a chicken, and then making their way through the rest of the barnyard.  All the while this girl was screaming in ridiculously high pitches over a way over-based track that made my heart hurt.  The creation of this song must have gone like this:  There was a girl on ecstasy, and this guy who was shrooming walked up to her and said: "whoa it looks like you have an awesome voice, we should make a song"  So they went to a guy who was in the middle of a 4 days crystal meth bender, who created a beat, then the girl was recorded while the guy shrooming ripped off her toenails while abusing barnyard animals…  TADA!  that song was born.  But i digress…

So this song is finally winding down when the new madonna song comes on.  Suddenly, the "Madonna Effect" takes over. The girls were screaming and trying to sing, but then they realized that they didn’t know the words, or the song.  They did know it was madonna though, so of course, they need to scream, and bounce around trying to find the beat.

Which brings me full circle, because Madonna hasn’t done anything worthwhile in years, and its things like the "Madonna Effect" that give her license to keep making shitty music.

Sigh, I know people aren’t going to like this, but it needed to be said.  She sucks, accept it people…

Now Playing : OPM - Heaven is a halfpipe

[chorus]

if i die before i wake

at least in heaven i can skate

cause right now on earth i can’t do jack

without the man up on my back

now heaven would be a dj just spinnin’ up all night long

and heaven would be just kickin’ back with jesus packing my bong

and if you don’t believe in jesus, mahomad or budda too

and while the world is warin’ we just sit back and laugh at you

singin’

[chorus]

now when most people think of heaven,

they see those pearly gates

but i looked a little closer and theres a sign that says "do not skate"

so if you wanna come to my heaven

well we all gonna have a ball

and everyone you know is welcome

cause we got no gates or walls

singin’

[chorus]

then i got up to the gate

they pulled out list that i’ve been callin’ fake

"i’m sorry friend you can’t come in

you gotta list here that doesn’t end"

you’re mad because i smoked dope

ain’t teachin’ any classes in how to cope

i find a place to rest my head

i’d rather be alone now that i’m dead

This song is one funny ass song i tell ya…im not sure how i came along about it…but i thought i’d share it..*out*

Now Playing : Jem - Wish I

Another whim would have to be of my recent discovery that one of my
jeans are now super tight. ok maybe I over exaggerated. Just tight. When buttoned, the thing almost cut off all
circulations to my lower half! >_< Sure I bought it 3 years
ago, but.. my jeans rarely get too tight This can’t be a good sign.
I have been getting endless calls from North Quay Fitness First and coincidentally, the thought of returning to the  gym has
been floating around in my mind..I have been going, its just that I
can’t be bothered all the time. Working out  I’m not sure if the two
would cancel
each other yet, but I, Melissa Tegjeu of sound mind and body (I think)
solemnly promise to do better and get healthier!…(keeping fingers
crossed)

My gym workout has been up to standard (what was the standard
again> dunno?)..But at least I’m not sitting at home like a potato
couch RIGHT? So far so good. I wanna go mandi, feel I’m stinking,
mebbe I am.Let me smell myself..then again, lets not get there.

Now Playing: Jet - Rollover DJ

It’s not easy looking after oneself.One has to eat,bathe,sleep and to think it all has to be done in a time constraint 24 hours.sigh.

I guess having 2 jobs,uni and gym is enough to keep me out of my social life.Darn, there goes another semester. I guess I need some time management here,now where do I start.Hmm..this is worst than I thought it’d be.

Oh well,sacrifices must be made. And I know what it is.

Now Playing : Finger Eleven - One Thing

I guess its been a long time since I saw him..it made feel a little…weird. Dunno. Can’t find the appropriate word. I was waiting for the loop just outside uni after class to go to the gym, since it was a hot day…I decided an air conditioned bus wasn’t such a bad idea afterall. I was reading my book when I had this sudden feeling, a tingle..a sudden chill. I looked up, and there he was, my ghost. I literally froze, well not till I C E but CLOSE. I just didn’t know what to do. I just looked back at my book, for obvious reasons I didn’t read a single word. He then came up, gave me a hug and said, Happy Birthday Mel! ARGH…that freaked me out, how did he remember that…whoa. We spoked for a while and then FINALLY..the bus came. So I bid goodbye and promised to keep in touch.

He sent me a message though. This is what he said.

" Hi Mel!
Hope u r good and that u have an awesome day! Wish u all the best
in everything u do! Thanks so much for the christmas card and
everything! Feel bad about for not staying in toutch so much, but things
change I guess. Anyway, I hope that ur happy now and that u never
stop smiling like only u always do:D  Klem "

I melted for a sec. I guess things did change during the summer holidays. Apparently, people do move on..some for the better and some otherwise. I am happy to say we still keep in touch despite certain awkwardness we encounter now and then but apart from that, we remain good friends. I never would say he was mean to me, we both respected each other and understood where the line was drawn. I’m glad the both of us have moved on and are happy with what we have. I wish him well too, nothing matters more than  a friends happiness.

Cheers.

Now Playing = PussyCatDolls - Stickwitu

From summer to autumn..so much difference one has to endure ..most importantly;
the question that has been playing on my mind, where did my sunshine go?.. Not
too long ago I was complaining about the heat..and how I wish it was cold…but
now I’m actually using my heater to keep warm!!! I’m serious. People are never
happy with what they have. They continue to want more and more all the time,
more of this more of that..more of this and that. PEOPLE!!! why are you torturing
yourselves. You should always be contented with what you have. Have
expectations but be willing to accept certain things as they are. Take what god
gives you, It may be better than what u ask for..thats what I truly believe in.
I’m serious, I practice the attitude of putting things in god’s hand and I feel
so calm. So to my missing sunshine…I know you will come back, I will miss you
fondly but I know deep down inside..you will be back when the time is right.

As an end note, I am happy a new season has come…at least I know the earth is
spinning the way it should…thank god for his grace…its another day to look
forward too.
