It's that time of the quad-year again...

Election Season is upon us and this time I get to vote.
Voting is really important and does affect the people. Rules and Propositions are implemented out there and it's only right for every individual to go out and vote. Especially the young people who are the future of this nation. This is our country and what we have control over should be things that we take seriously because it affects us, individually and as a nation. Whether props that are presented to us or choosing leaders.
SO GO VOTE some people do not get to have that privilege in this country and out of this country. You get a sticker afterwards!

The Hollywood Cemetery: Dia de los Muertos.

I love the Hollywood Cemetery with its movie shows and its awesome Dia del los Muertos showings. Where families get together and make alters in honor of their family and as a part of a contest that the Cemetery holds. Here's some pictures from my favorite alter.
"Art is Eternal"









 HOPE YOU ENJOYED THEM AND YOU GO OUT THIS SATURDAY TO THE HOLLYWOOD CEMETERY! 


You Go Obama!

My First Time At The Bowl


Soooo a couple of weeks ago I went to the Hollywood Bowl for the first time. Florence and the Machine were in concert and had the Macabees and The Weekend open for her. 
It was completely amaaaazing! I mean her voice sounds so awesome on the records already but this was a chance to hear without all the crap they had in the background stripping it down right raw. And this was one of the songs that she practically sang entirely acapella. It was amazing! I swear I had goose bumps listening to her.




The other most amazing performance was Dog Days Are Over, which was kinda perfect because the reason I got these tickets was for my graduation in May and I just looooved it!!!! Thank you to my sister Sandra for getting me those tickets and sorry Erica for leaving you on your birthday. My baaad!

Hope you enjoy it!!!!

Ode to the 99 percent?

This is a rant against the 1 % and the useless things they do with their money instead of paying taxes like the 99% do.
Here is a link that leads to the website of rich kids who take picture of their decadent, glamourous live and post their pictures on Instagram.

Here is one of the picture that these kids posted
Gold Plated AK-47
First and foremost, what the hell is a kid doing with an AK-47. I mean they might not be kids but most of who I see on this website look like kids, who document their underage drinking, their fancy cars, yes plural, their expensive bottle of alcohol, and their ridiculous amount of money spent on dinners and shopping of thousands of dollars that is worth more than a car!
Now I know it's their money the should be able to do what they want but I mean come on! Give a little huh 1%? What are you so afraid of to get taxed more or at least equally to the 99% that pay more taxes than you. I'm sure your kids can live without some of these things. And also just because you get more money does not mean you are fucken entitled! Come on America!
I now leave you with this link that continues with my rant http://www.businessinsider.com/rich-kids-of-instagram-summer-pictures-2012-9?op=1
I mean I get it, if you got it flaunt it. But this is overkill and overshare.

It's that time of the year again...

Halloween is just around the corner and it has been a year since the controversial costume Anna Rexia blew up the media. Below you will see a picture of the 'sexy' costume aimed at women but most importantly young women.

This costume not only aims at young women but it causes a social stigma that this is the shape that women have to be, in the American ideal. The hourglass shape has been popular and praised for many centuries shaming women with thick and voluptuous bodies. Women already are faced with a standard to fit the ideal hourglass shape but to put up a costume named "Anna Rexia" which is obviously anorexia aimed at young women shows that our society still does not realize the issues and problems that women go through to achieve this 'ideal' body shape. Crash diets, bulimia, self abuse is some of the extents women go through because of the pressure of society. We see it everywhere; billboards, magazines, commercials. All these advertisements aim for the women of this society and warp their minds into what they should and should not be. But we need to put a stop to this we need to tell our children our future of this world that it is ok to have curves, it is ok to not look and have a barbie doll-like figure. If you want to be fit and healthy that is something that is completely up to you but don't be pressured to do it through the means of crash diets, anorexia, bulimia, pills you can be healthy by eating right and exercising.

And this does is not just limited to women. Men also experience these issues. They just don't go through the shame "social shame" as women do because heavier men live up to male stereotypes.


Below you'll find the link to CNN's "Anna Rexia" cover in case you are further interested.

The Brilliance of Satire Television


This along with many other shows such as The Daily Show with Jon Stewart and The Colbert Report, cleverly use the news topics of the week to convert it into a satirical critic of our nation today. As shown below we see Late Night with Jimmy Fallon host Jimmy Fallon portraying what we know of Mitt Romney thus far in his campaign for the presidency of the United States of America. Of course taking stabs at both the Democratic leader Barack Obama and Republican nominated Mitt Romney.

This is one of the many hilarious political satire that can be found and the birth and reproduction is all thanks to a little show on NBC called Saturday NIght Live and its creator and producer Lorne Michaels who made these products of SNL possible. Without him we would be lost in the worlds of Fox News, MSNBC and so on and so forth. Some people still are. But thankfully we have these shows that challenge our thoughts and what we hear everywhere while allowing us to get a laugh out of it. It makes you think and come to realizations of the world we live in today. You even learn things from time to time and who doesn't love learning.

 So if you're still not watching what are you waiting for? Put this shit on your DVR or TIVO. Get with the hilarious programming!
