out with the old
This entry is a bit heavier than my usual, so I'll cut it.
Well, 2008 is here which is good!
I am thinking it's gonna be a pretty sweet year, it has an air of good fortune about it and I'm feeling reeeeally excited and ready for what it has to offer!
Life in general is also pretty RADICAL and full of amazingness so I'm quite satisfied with that! Thank you God, etc!
Plus, it's a really beautiful day today! The skies are blue, the sun is shining and there is a fresh gentle breeze on the balcony!
But.
There are a few things that have been hanging around which are a bit wack!
So I've had these little OPINIONS roaming around in my head causing a bit of a mess and then I remembered I have a livejournal which means I get to discuss these things on here!!
Ok so I'll just get right into it then!
First up, I have quite a lot of pent-up rage about The Bang Gang Movement!
I know this is nothing new. It has been going on for a long time and we all finished laughing about their sweatbands, bad pants and reebok pumps ages ago. BUT what I'm upset about, primarily, is that they appear to have destroyed EVERYTHING!
Sorry if that sounds harsh...here let me rephrase it then:
BANG GANG SUX AND EVERYTHING BAD IS THEIR FAULT!!!!!
I really can't stress enough how much of an effect Bang Gang has had on my clubbing enjoyment! It has truly been phenomenal! As in: I basically hate clubs now and I'm even starting to think I hate electro and it's all because of them and their mashy, clashy, trashy HOUSE!!!!
Phew. I'm so glad I got that out.
Ok now the next thing. It's closely related to the first thing.
I have been aware of the drug GHB for quite a few years now and I've seen it around a fair bit and generally thought it was pretty foul! Actually I have avoided it like the plague cos I know how dangerous it is as well! But lately! I've seen the most feral stuff and it's all because of this shit drug! Do you know it makes people look like actual monsters? I saw these people and they obviously thought they were dancing to the music but they were actually just doing random convulsions and stepping on their own feet. But the worst thing was that their faces were contorting uncontrollably, it looked like rigormortis, the muscles in their cheeks were in spasm and it looked like they were trying to turn their mouths inside out!!! I'm not trying to be funny or exaggerate, I am completely serious that this is how it looked. Their eyes were usually completely rolled back but when they tried to focus on something you could see that their eyes were all demonic and weird!
What's even more horrifying is that there is a very high likelihood that there was diarrhoea in their pants and it's not that they didn't know, it's that they didn't care!
I know I am no saint when it comes to partying and usually I HATE anti-drug campaigns but there are so many reasons why I wish this drug had never been invented. Even without going into all the date rape and overdose stories (it seems to be the most common drug to overdose on) just the random shit that seems to happen, like when a guy standing at a bar suddenly starts having a full on, bloodied punch up WITH HIMSELF, man it just fucks with my head! Why would anyone wanna do such a messed up, horrible drug? It almost makes me want to cry just thinking about it!
Sorry to get a bit heavy and preachy, but I just needed to say it cos I think it might help with the nightmares...
On a lighter note, I really hate those Crocs brightly coloured lightweight clogs with the little holes in them. They are FUGLY and I don't care how comfortable they are meant to be as they look ridiculous. I especially hate the little accessories you can buy to stick in the little holes. It's just wack. You sometimes see whole families walk past and they're all wearing them, god it cracks me up, they may's well all be wearing t shirts that say "we are dorks".
That concludes my list of things that are wack.
To recap:
1. Bang Gang.
2. GHB.
3. Crocs Clogs.
I would really appreciate it if the year 2008 could remove these trends from existence and we could pretend that they never happened. It would really help me. My world would be a MUCH better place!
OK. Thanks
