Electro/Techno Playin' In My Head

I really liked the album art for this CD.

So I was looking for some new music to put on my ipod and I was like, "Hey why not put on some of those like techno/electro songs you used to hear on the radio!" So then I started looking on google for some of the songs because I couldn't remember the names at all. So I finally ended up with, Junior Senior-Move Your Feet, Daft Punk-Around The World, Fatboy Slim-Rockafellar Skank, Darude-Sandstorm, ATC-Around The World, The Chemical Brothers-Do It Again, and David Guetta-The World Is Mine.

All of these are really cool some are a lot more different than the others. I didn't know exactly what category they went under. They are fun and some of them carry a lot of memories for me(lol). So check them out cause the beats in some of them are really good, although I must warn you if your not like really into the techno deal them maybe Sandstorm isn't for you. Junior Senior-Move Your Feet is one of my favorites though that one is really cute and cool. Rockafellar Skank I think about everyone has heard and has a really good beat to it.

So I hope you like the music I know I do. Please if you know any other popular song that are like these, kind of electro/techno, please tell me because I think there are some that I am missing.

MTV Music Awards Latin America

I watched them this morning and it wasn't that great but still I like watching award shows so whatever. My mom got really pissed off when Tokio Hotel won best song she was all, "This is the Latin American awards, they are German! Not even American!" then she goes on with, "I'm going to send an e mail to MTV Latin America saying that Latin Americans should be winning these awards..." blah blah blah. lol well anyways Tokio Hotel won 4 awards(YAY!), 30 Seconds To Mars won one, Belanova, Juanes won tons, and there were lots more but I can't remember.


Metallica preformed their new song which I can't ever remember the name of, it's something like The Day That Never Comes...or something like that, I'm sorry if I got it wrong. Paramore preformed, they were pretty good same as usual I've seen Hayley do better. Belanova preformed and she sounded exactly like the last time I heard her live, like a chipmunk. Then Tokio Hotel had preformed and Bill lip sinked!! I hate it when people do that because you can so tell it's not their real voice, everyone else really sung except them...they couldn't have sung worse then some of the other people on there.

I honestly do not understand what was going on with Bill's wardrobe that day. The rest of them look decent but Bill...WTF!? Their like...tights!!! Seriously what was he thinking. I mean usually he can pull anything off but those tights/pants things need to be burned and the ashes need to be thrown into a dump. No one should ever be caught wearing those things. I feel so bad for him...and the next person we're going to see I feel even worse for. Poor Katy Perry. But it looked HILARIOUS!

OMG!!! That was probably the best part of the whole show, at least I think so. The cake was all hard and she like bounced and then she slipped and fell about 4 times. Awesome I will remember it always and if not I'll always be reminded of because now it's on the Internet.

If you didn't get to see the awards you didn't miss much you can always check out mtvla.com for the award winners and see pics of the whole thing.

Countdown

So two big things are going on or coming up actually and they are: 1. The Latin America VMAs 2. Halloween. I haven't decided yet if Halloween is my favorite holiday. Everyone always loves Christmas but lately Christmas has been really sad, you know what I got last year, another speaker set for my ipod but me and my sister have to share it, and a sweater that is bright ugly pink with brown ugly buttons that makes me look fat. I wore it once or twice to make my mom happy and now it sits in my closet gathering dust. That almost always happens with the clothes my mom buys me. I love her and all but sometimes she just doesn't know anything about my style, at least she tries I guess. Oh my mom bought me a whole bunch of other clothes but she got them about two sizes too small so there was no way those things would fit. I was supposed to get myself some new clothes but never got around to it.

I think the VMAs are supposed to be today but I really have no idea, besides they'll probably show them like 50 million times on MTV. Over and over and over again. So there's no way I'll miss it. A little birdie told me that Katy Perry was hosting it and Tokio Hotel was going to present an award or something. She also said they might preform. My sister and I both said that Paramore, Tokio Hotel, and The Ting Tings were going to win an award.

Well right now I'm getting into the Halloween spirit, listening to the Nightmare Revisited album. I love The Nightmare Before Christmas. It's probably my favorite movie. I'm a huge fan of Tim Burton and his movies. I guess that's about it for now. Hope you have an awesome Halloween!

Panic! At The Disco

I love this band! They are really cool and their sound is not like most music I've heard. If I'm looking for a vain subject with an upbeat tune to listen to I always go for A Fever You Can't Sweat Out. Also if you are looking for music that calms you down and just sounds nice I listen to Pretty Odd. Panic! At The Disco's sound has changed a lot since the last CD, at least that's my personal opinion.

Panic! At The Disco's members are these:

Brendon Urie - vocals, guitar, keyboards (2004-present)
Ryan Ross - guitar, keyboards, vocals (2004-present)
Jon Walker - bass guitar, vocals (2006-present)
Spencer Smith - drums, percussion (2004-present)

Music Obsessed

Hey I found out that there is another person that has a blog called music obsessed. She(or he who knows) took the link that has obsessed spelled right lol. She hasn't updated her blog in forever and I hope she has a good reason becuase it's her fault I can't make a new blog with obsessed spelled right.

We do share the same dislike of Miley Cyrus I guess and so I guess that's why I am not entirely mad at her for not posting since like April or something. Great now her blog is like being retarded, either that or my internet but internet seems to be working fine.

http://www.musicobsessed.com/ That's the link you might want to check it out becuase I think mine is a lot better. Or maybe it's just me :P I don't know you be the judge.

Something I'm Not

Ever tried to be something you weren't, maybe because you were trying to get someone to notice you, or your were trying to fit in, or maybe you didn't feel good enough. Unfortunately I fell into that. I was trying to be something I wasn't to get this one dude to like me, well it didn't work and I made myself look like a retard. Holy crap that was bad, I don't want to go into details but I was looking at my space on hotmail and I had all these pics of things that weren't me. I was acting like it was inside me the whole time and it wasn't heck no it wasn't. I'm so glad that I am myself again. Well I have changed but in a way that's me. I like it. So if you ever fall for changing yourself then I hope you find yourself as fast as you lost yourself and if it hasn't happened to you then good I hope that you stay the way you want to be. Don't be caught acting like a fool trying to be someone else.

My Journey...Through The German Language

Guten Tag, Guten Morgen, Gute Nacht, whatever. So I am starting to learn German. Why because I'm an idiot and I don't want anyone(well, the majority) to understand what I'm trying to say. Muahahaha evil. Lol I just don't like it when people know what I'm saying, living outside the U.S. for so long now walking down the street no one knows what I'm saying because I'm speaking English, it feels good. Well it makes me feel comfortable. So I'm trying to learn German a) because majority won't be able to understand b) well I guess I kind of made this one up now but if I ever get to meet Tokio Hotel I could understand whatever the hell they were saying about me. Plus I would be able to finally understand fully what they are trying to say in their German songs without having to ask someone else online.

Wish me luck I guess but it doesn't seem to look that hard. I'm doing it all in my spare time(whatever spare time I have). I might add some German to my posts but don't worry you'll be able to understand I won't make it that hard and I'll probably add what it means in parenthesis. So good luck to all you other people trying to learn a third or second or whatever number language.

In The Middle Of Summer, All Was Golden In the Sky

I never thought that there would ever be a moment in my life that I would feel completely and totally in bliss. I don't even think bliss is the right word but I was in a total state of happiness. And all it took was a couple keys on the piano. I swear, I'm not kidding.

It all started when I was so angry I was crying because of my two younger brothers, I hate them, well you know how it goes blah blah blah. Seriously they never shut up and the youngest he thinks he is the boss and he can tell ME what to do, I am 8 years older than him. He's such a smart ass too. Ugh well needless to say I was angry, angry out of my mind, screaming in the bathroom and crying(I cry when I'm angry) so I was trying to do my homework now kind of feeling a little better, Math. I don't mind Math at all, I kind of find it calming. So I decided to put on Pretty Odd by Panic! At The Disco, I have no idea why I put it on because I had never listened to the whole album before. So I did and the first song that really caught me was She's A Handsome Woman. I love that song now and this is the song that brought me to complete and utter happiness. So the part I'm talking about is right before he says "innocence" at the beginning of the song. I can't begin to describe how just those couple of keys brought backs o so many memories. I had goosebumps and a smile on my face.

Another song that was really nice but didn't have the same full on effect as She's A Handsome Woman was Northern Downpour. I really really like this song because of the intro which begins at the end of the song I Have Friends In Holy Spaces. This whole album is just completely relaxing(although I usually skip the first two songs). Tell em what you think about the album or the songs or if you had an experience like me :) Thanks TTYL.

Today's Over... Tomorrow's Already Known

Well wow my life is boring. I know everything that will happen tomorrow and the next day and the day after that, soon hopefully in some near future my life won't be this boring. I'll have something to look forward to, for now I know what my goal is and I know I will achieve it. I know that it's what I want to do for the rest of my life and I could not think of anything else that I would want to do. For now I'm just Carina Velazquez a nobody.

Well there's really nothing important about what will happen tomorrow. I'll wake up, get on the bus, go to PDR, then English, then Social Studies, then when lunch is over I'll go to P.E. then leave for home. If it's a good day I won't have to fight with my brothers if not then I don't want to think about it. It will all start over again the next day of course. So wish me luck and I'll wish you yours becuase one day this will end but for now we're living another day in our boring lives(well at least for some of us).

I know I really shouldn't be complaining there are people who have it much worse but I dont' feel very good today so just bear with me. I guess really looking at it my life could me much more boring and plain. I could be living to die but I have a dream and I know once I get there I will look back at all of this and say, "I really did have a nice life." Well ttyl for now and thanks for reading :D

Today's Aim: What Is An Emo?

Let's begin. Well if your like me and like to wear black and live with people who don't know crap about emos then I'm guessing you've been called one. See I live in Colombia and people here don't know crap about what exactly an emo is. Let me explain to all of you who don't know what an emo is. First off emo stands for EMOtional get it so obviously you get one of the main points of an emo. They dramaticize(is that even a word?) everything for example music lyrics-makes 'em cry(well we all do sometimes but they find ways to make most things sound extremely depressing) or maybe fire burning paper they'll find a way. As I was saying about being EMOtional, let's say your boyfriend breaks up with you or your just really really depressed one day, and emo would probably cut their wrists. As a parody of Fergalicious says, "Emo-licious definition cut my wrist and die."

If you watch What Is Emo? on YouTube you can see that Emo is a subdivision of Goth which is a subdivision of Punk. Emos like to wear a lot of black. Their style consists of black jeans sometimes skirts for girls with striped knee high socks and converse. They also like to wear arm warmers or just random striped arm wear. BTW I would like to add that I love the "Emo style" and I would wear clothes like that almost all the time if I could(my parents grr) but this does not mean I am Emo, just because I like the style doesn't mean I am Emo this is where all the people at my school get confused.

As we watch What Is Emo? we can see from Moonshine23 what an Emo is to him, "Basically Emo is like when no one understands you and your whole life is just like a spiralling black hole of emotion. Like I'm so depressed right now I mean I went to the barber and now my hair doesn't do that flicky thing like that guy from the band like it did before(I think that's what he says)."

Now you understand basically what an Emo is please do not call people Emo when they are not because some people just don't like it when you call them that especially when they are entirely against Emos(I'm not but I know people). Some people get annoyed when you call them the same thing like 5 billion times(my case). Thanks for reading and understanding and if you didn't then that's your problem go watch a video or something. Bye!
