RIP Ryan Dunn

RIP man. You made up a huge percentage of my teenage years with the Jackass/CKY crew. You will be sorely missed.

EDM + drugs: EDC Dallas.

I've been away for a long time. Well, not away as such, just had nothing worth sitting down for half an hour to write about. But today I do. Over the weekend, a 19 year old boy died and over 30 others were hospitalized at Electric Daisy Carnival in Dallas due to drugs and alcohol and the whole thing was shut down. This is a sad thing in it's own right, but whats sadder, to me at least, is that people feel the need to take drugs at these shows. I get the whole drugs thing, it's fun, I'm not anti-drug, I am however anti-Being an idiot when taking drugs. There are certain things you need to be aware of and take into consideration when taking drugs. For example, knowing your limits, and also knowing your friends limits. If you can see that your mate is in a bad way, fucking look after them. Now, before I get backlash from that comment, I'm not saying that it is the fault of the boys friends that he died, some things just can't be helped.

The thing that upsets me most though, is that people feel the need to take drugs at shows. And usually their excuse is 'To enhance the music.' I'm sorry, but if you need a drug to enhance what you're listening to, then you're listening to the wrong music for you. I go to a lot of live music shows, I never drink and I never take drugs at them, because I already enjoy the music. I don't pay £50 to go and see deadmau5 only to get totally cunted and forget the whole night. I went to see Skrillex live in January at his first ever UK show. This was essentially a drum n bass/dubstep night, and from hearing stories, I was worried about what type of crowd I would be in. But it was literally the best crowd I have ever seen for an artist. Sure there were people there who were high or drunk, but 99% of that crowd where there to see Skrillex simply because they love his music. Nothing more. And that's what makes a show.

The link between drugs and EDM pisses me off. People who don't know the scene very will often assume that we're all pill popping maniacs. Which I think, in a lot of ways, comes from the 90's image of ravers. Which is fair enough, there was a lot of drug use in the 90's on the scene, there still is. But then again, there was a lot of drug use in the 60's with nearly every genre going. Things have moved on a lot and people don't realise that. The majority of drug users at shows aren't there for the music, they're there because it's the 'cool' thing to do and want to impress other douchers in their drug taking/night life habits. Unfortunately, it works. which makes it 'cooler' and then more people decide to be idiots. The music itself should be a powerful enough drug, if it isn't, you're in the wrong place. Go home.

TL:DR
If you're gonna do drugs, at a show or otherwise, do them responsibly.

I don't look like this anymore. I have normal people hair now.

This was about a year ago. I think.

I know I'm pretty awesome n shit, but I dunno why people have to copy me all the time. Gee.

Sleep Zombie.

I was gonna write this whole long thing just now about leaving University, but I'm too tired I'm just gonna go to sleep

sdgrgrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrggggggggggggg

NO! JUST FUCKING NO!

So I just checked my Deviant Art account for the first time in God knows how long. I only have one thing to say

Nyan Nyan Nyan

I'M NOT ANGRY NOW I HAVE THIS IN MY LIFE!!! 

Sundays Hate Campaign: I've been dead.

So for the past how ever long it's been, I've been dead. I'll still be kinda dead for a while yet, but I'll try and get some more stuff done on here too. Like Sundays Hate Campaign (Even though it's Monday). So today I'm starting with... PEOPLE COMPLAINING ABOUT UNIMPORTANT SHIT ON FACEBOOK.

This bugs me to no end, and for some reason, recently it's increased through out my friends list A LOT. And mostly it's to do with someone they want to have intercourse with, but 'they're such an asshole and mean and don't understand my feelings and slept with my best friend'... Earth to retard. No one gives a shit. Least not the person you're aiming your status at. If you want to complain about your shitty little relationship, or your shitty friends acting shitty towards you, get a twitter account, don't clog my wall up with your boring arse life. You're probably thinking 'Why don't you remove these people from your friends list or hide them from your wall, Stacey?' .. Well, yes, I could do that, but then who would I troll? My point here is, if you're going to complain, at least be entertaining while complaining, rather than just an attention seeking little faggot.

For example, taken from my very own Facebook;
Complaining about an ebay idiot:
 Dear ebay idiot.. Don't bid on my painting just as it ends and then message me saying you can't pay for it and want to retract your bid. You're a fucking moron, please go and die before you make somebody Else's day a fucking misery.

Complaining about spiderwebs:
 I would actually rather be raped to death, than walk through the mess of webs. 
I'm actually crying.

Complaining about Telsa Motors: 
Oi, Tesla. Take your faggy little car and your faggy little complaint and fuck off. OF COURSE IT WAS STAGED YOU MORONS. IIIIIT'S TOOOOOP GEEEEEEAAAR. Fuck sake, stupid Americans and their stupid lake of stupid humours.

These are just some of the ways to complain via facebook without being a boring cunt.

Secondly: People hinting they like the person I like.
Back the fuck away whore.

Also, I totally have this covered. Taken from my very own facebook;

Dear person. I like you... A lot. But I wont say it to you personally, instead, I'm going to write song lyrics as my status and mentally apply them to you... 'I wanna know what love iiiiiiisssss.... I want you to show meeeeeeeee' ... Love from, Me.

Someone dress up as Boba Fett and rape me please.

You give me butterflies, in that way a gore thread does ♥

 See, I can totally do romance too.

I think one more thing for now....
Severely fucking with other peoples lives.
This is not cool. Especially if it's my friends or family members. Why are you wasting your time with trying to make the other persons life a misery? Why can't you just move the fuck on and get on with your life? Why are you such an annoying little child? Okay, maybe this person did something to you, So fucking what, it's not going to fucking kill you. Now, I could understand if this person maybe, I dunno, killed your family and then you turned into Batman or something to get your revenge, but other than that, get the fuck over it will you? And... If you do ever try and fuck up my family members lives, I will turn into Batman and hunt you down, because as I mentioned... that's not cool, brah.

Rastamouse.

I first heard of Rastamouse about a week or so ago. It's a kids show aired on Cbeebies in the UK about, thats right, a Rasta mouse. and his friends, 'The Cool Crew', who are apparently all in some kind of  band. When I first heard about it, I thought it was funny, because srsly... When have you ever seen a Rastamouse. It's a pretty genius idea. But apparently not everyone agrees. Some people think it's a bad idea and Rastamouse is a very bad influence on their children's fragile little minds. Just... Just watch how they're corrupting Britains youth...




How dare they teach children that stealing is wrong and dance in a humourous fashion. HOW DARE THEY?!

Apparently, the biggest worry is that it is the language used in the show. For example 'Wugwun' and 'irie' which are actually used by black kids, white kids, Asian kids, kids with giant octopus tentacles and 15 eyes all over the UK and I assume elsewhere too. I often greet my friends with 'Wugwun' does this make me a fucking racist? No. Does it make me ignorant? No. The creators of Rastmouse have been accused of 'Furthering racial stereotypes' which is fucking bullshit. When was the last time you say a Television show with a prominent Rastafarian character? Exactly, if anything , they're teaching kids more about the Rastafarian culture, which, contrary to popular belief, doesn't revolve around drugs and it's exclusively Black. And while I'm on the subject of drugs... Rastamouses love of cheese has been likened to drugs. FUCKING CHEESE! HE'S A FUCKING MOUSE!! I dunno if anyone noticed, but mice generally fucking LOVE cheese. That's like saying Popeye's spinach was steriods or Spongebob Squarepants took Extacy. Oh wait... Actually, that does brings up a pretty decent point. There are a million and one cartoons and kids shows/stories which hint at drugs far more often and more prominently. Spongebob, The Magic Round About, Alice in Wonderland, Fan-fucking-tasia...

Sundays Hate Campaign: The Return.

I know I haven't written my SHC for like, a month, but to be honest, I've not really been grumpy about anything enough to feel the need to write about it. But this weekend, something evil happened to me. Something that chilled me to the bone.... Housework. My dad bought me two new cabinets to go in my room and as a result, I had to sort though all of my things to put them into the cabinets. Saturday night I was putting away my vinyls into on of these cabinets, I push the vinyls to the back and, like, my stereo is on top of this cabinet, right. So when I push the vinyls, the whole thing moves backwards and something comes crashing down onto my head. I look down and see a full, glass bottle of Ouzo. A fraggin bottle of Ouzo fell on my head! So now I'm sitting there with my head in my heads, yelping in pain. I mean srsly, I'm surprised the damn thing didn't knock me the fuck out. I have a huge bump on my head, as well as a bruise, now. So now I'm wandering around the house look like fucking Greedo. I had to put a pack of ice on that shit! The last time I did any house work before that was some mild vacuuming, and that led to a stubbed toe. I mean really, why is it so dangerous? Surely someone would have figured out a safe way to clean a fucking toilet? Even the cleaning products could kill you! Bleach! fucking bleach actually has the ability to kill you and you keep it under the fucking sink? shits fucked up!

Happy birthday Guy-Manuel

I know I haen't written in like 8 days. Whatever, I've been busy. I have a univeristy course to catch up on lol. Anyways, I just wanted to post this in honour of one of my all time loves, Guy-Manuel De Homem-Christo because it's his 37th birthday today....

Full of Skrillex.

I keep meaning to write something up in here, but I tend to get distracted lately. Plus, I really haven't been grumpy about anything enough to feel the need to write about it. Well actually, I haven't been grumpy at all, and I think that has a lot to do with Skrillex. I went to see him live on Friday and literally for the past three days, I've had not a care in the world. It was his first UK show (lol London virgin) and wow! It was amazing! It was life changing for me, so I can't even imagine what it was like for him. The crowd went crazy for him. I'm listening to Skrillex almost constantly and bugging everyone on facebook with posts about him. Which I should stop really, but atm, I just can't help myself. I feel like I'm 14 again, except this time round with Sonny, it's Dubstep and House music, rather than 'Emo' (Yah, believe it or not... I did that way back when and I had the biggest crush on 17 yr old Sonny Moore) Also this time around, we're both happier. he's happier because he's doing exactly what he wants and he's finally able to be comfortable about that. And I'm happier because his music is just OMG STUPID GOOD! It just makes me smile every time and I can't help but sing along!

Whatever, I'll let the music do the talking .... Starting with my Current favourite, which was actually released under 'Sonny Moore' rather than 'Skrillex'



And one from the new EP 'Scary Monsters and Nice Sprites' (which you should all go and buy immediately it you haven't done so already)



And a remix... Which was one of my favourites live



And if this song doesn't make you fall in love, there's something very VERY wrong with you...



So, yeah, I'm totally in love with Sonny more in like, a million different ways <3

Mid Week Matters: Buffy The Vampire Slayer: The Movie?

Firstly, sorry this is a day late, I've literally been playing Minecraft for two full nights in a row. Which probablly isn't a good idea. Anyway...

I was reading through SFX Magazine today at work when I came across the 'Your SFX Wishlist' feature, in which they discuss an up and coming show/film/event or something readers might want to happen in the near future. In the March issue, the subject matter was a proposed Buffy The Vampire Slayer movie. A second one that is. My first exact thoughts were 'NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!' Before I decided to cool it and read the feature. You see, I grew up with Buffy. For years I watched the show, and I personally thought it ended well and should be left alone (Like a lot of other shows and films that should be left alone *cough* Transformers *cough* Star Wars *cough* X-men) There's an old saying... 'All good things must come to an end' I often like to finish that with '...and left alone and not be fucked around with'

So anyway, I got to reading the feature, the first argument SFX brings to the table seem to be in agreement with my initial feelings. 'Don't do it' is the title, carrying on with 'Without Joss Whedon' which is a very important start. I very much doubt I'd go and see a Buffy film if Joss and nothing to do with it what-so-ever. I have great trust in Joss and I believe that if he was a big part in making the film, it could easily be a success... IF the casting is right, which brings me onto SFXs second point. Either the film will have the original characters played by new actors and actresses, or there will be new characters. Which I do not care for. As for the perfect casting, that'll be the most difficult job. On the SFX forums, the general consensus seems to that Chloe Moratz (Kick Ass) would be a great choice. I agree, although she's too young to be Buffy now, in the future, she'd make an awesome Slayer. Another popular suggestions with Ellen Page (Juno, inception) which is a fucking stupid idea. I don't know who would make a good Buffy, maybe Olivia Wilde? She's an fantastic actress. And if you've seen her in House (rather than recently in Tron) you'll know how far her talents reach.

There were a few suggestions from SFX forum member chrismk, one I actually really agree with. Alan Rickman as Giles. Can you imagine that?! Snape as Giles... I have to admit, that would be legendary. Still not a touch on Anthony Head, but still pretty awesome. But then just when I though chrismk was cool, he goes and ruins it with this statement 'Megan Fox as Faith' ... What? Dude, did you not see Transformers? She's shite. Emma Stone (Zombieland) would do a good job in a role as Faith though. Also suggested for the role of Xander was Michael Cera (Scott Pilgrim vs. the World) which I can totally see working. He has the whole Xander thing going on already.

Then there's the 'When' debate. Will the film pick up where season 7 left off? Or will it be set way into the future? It's a very mixed opinion with no clear winner. Personally, I think it should be set about ten years into the future, well at least ten years anyway.Or present time. I dunno why to be honest, maybe s I can distace the Movie from the more easily.

What are your thoughts? Who do you think would make a kick ass Buffy?

Mid Week Matters: Minecraft and AmnesiAAHHHH!!

Okay, I'm sorry this is like, a day late, but I was playing Minecraft yesterday all night instead of blogging. I was going to post, but I got carried away and distracted. You see, I've only just started playing Minecraft. After many months of people posting about it on facebook and me being confused as to what it actually is, I finally asked a friend to explain it to me. It sounded boring, but I thought I'd give it a chance and I played the free version you can play at Minecraft.net and I've literally been playing it for about 4 days straight now (with exception to an hour of Amnesia). I decided to buy the full beta version on Monday. I was up until 6am this morning, still playing it. It's like The Sims, you kinda don't know why it awesome, but it is and you can not stop playing. I haven't even built anything, I'm just wandering around looking for coal for torches!

Possibly my favourite part of Minecraft is the songs. They're fantastically calming, don't you think? A friend of mine recently told me that Deadmau5 was planning on making some tracks for Minecraft. Whether or not this is true, I have no idea, but it would be a great flashback to his earlier 'Get Scraped' tracks. Anyways, here's some of the songs from Minecraft...







I love 'Cat'... But check out when you reverse it.. It's so much cooler...






Okay, I know that's a lot of videos and probably not enough writing, but you get what I mean with the tracks right? There are loads more tracks, but I don't want to fill up this post with Youtube videos, but I do encourage you to go and listen to them, because they're lovely tracks. Very nostalgic too.

Another thing I absolutely adore about this game is the Zombies. As a zombie fan, I guess it's kinda natural, but they're just so cool. I like to swim with them, like swimming with sharks. They're kinda cute in a way, like Bub from 'Day of the Dead'. They're pretty much harmless unless you get too close.

Now, the other game I bought on Monday was Amnesia after the huge rave about it and all of my friends agreeing It's one of, if not, the scariest games they've played. So on Tuesday I decided to wait for the fall of night to stick my head phones on, turn out the lights and play the game. And for an hour... Nothing. Happened. Wtf? Running about a dark castle trying to find lamp oil isn't scary. Whats the point? Why can't it just get straight into it? Why can't I open the door and there's a big scary monster? I've been more scared while playing Fall Out Vegas. And I know, I know 'I'm not far enough into the game' but honestly....After an hour I'd expect something to happen.

However, having said that, I will eventually go back to it and play it. Because I payed for it, therefore I will finished it. And hopefully it'll get better.

One last thing before I go and stuff my face with Pizza and play yet more Minecraft... This video of Amnesia game play was sent to me by a friend after she explained to me what the game was about. It's amazingly hilarious....

Phoenix Jones and The Rain City Superhero Movement.

I was going to save this little gem for Wednesdays 'Mid Week Matters' but 1. I'm gonna talk to you guys about Minecraft and Amnesia on Wednesday and 2. This is just too amazing to wait for.

I don't know if you've ever heard of Phoenix Jones and The Rain City Superhero Movement, if you live in Seattle, then you may have, anywhere else... Probably not. And luckily it's not a shite indie band with a pretentiously long name. It's exactly what the name suggests... A real life Superhero group. Based in Seattle, the 'team' has 9 other members; Red Dragon, I'm assuming Thomas Harris must have gotten bored, Thorn, basically Thor with an N, Buster 'Are you gonna bang doe' Doe, Green Reaper, The Grim Reaper's eco-warrior cousin, Gemini, Who I think got into crime fighting after her twin sister was brutally murdered by a super villian, No Name, wow, thats creative, Catastrophe, please don't come and save me, Thunder 88, who is actually 88 and er... Penelope. No seriously.. It's just 'Penelope'. But by for the best known from the crime fighting bunch is Phoenix Jones, who is a care worker and father of two by day. Kitted out with a bullet proof, rubber suit, a taser baton and er, pepper spray, he patrols the streets of Seattle scaring away drug dealers, robbers and even gunmen! Here's the best part of his suit... His groin area is completely unprotected. You know how I know that? He fucking told me! Well not me personally, but he told a news reporter for The Sun newspaper. I don't think Batman would be that fucking stupid. Okay, so you know how Superman had his little phone booth, Batman had the Bat cave, Spiderman had... His bedroom, well Phoenix Jones has, wait for it.... That's right, A comic book store.




He told Pete Samson of The Sun;

"I went to Wal-mart and bought a pair of tights, a leotard and some gloves and put on the mask the robber had left in my car"

Yep, he used evidence for his own costume after his car had been broken into instead of doing what a normal, rational person would do, which is, call the police. He goes on to say;

"I patrolled that streets in that costume for a while until I got stabbed in the back by a drug dealer. I thought, 'This is dumb. Fighting in spandex is for comic books'. So I got a better suit and Phoenix Jones was born"

What he probably should have thought was 'This is dumb, I'm gonna go home to my kids and not get stabbed again'

Apart from just generally being hilarious, there's something that seriously bugs me about all this. 'Superheroes' do their very best to avoid newspapers (Apart from that idiot Tony Stark) So I find it deeply annoying that Phoenix Jones has actually gone to the newspapers himself to tell them all about his crime fighting habits. Mate, you're gonna get yourself into deep shit with all those super villians. They may not know your name, but they know where you patrol and, weirdly, your suits weak spot. Coz ya' know... You told us that. Anyone else see a Keene Act being passed?

Oh, and by the way... They have a Facebook page too. This is taken from the 'info' section;

"They wear costumes, they ride around in a Kia at night looking for trouble and occasionally, they get stabbed."

That's right. A Kia. Check those kids out, how cool are they? Which is apparently is GRAN MOTHERS Kia. Not exactly the Batmobile is it. I want to know what model it is, a C'eed? Sportage? Probably a Sedona. But hey, least it's not a Dacia Sandero, right?

Mid Week Matters: My 2010

This is a little bit of 'self advertisment' I guess... especially as I don't have anything from the web to show you this week. I've just spent the past hour or so making this video...

Birthday Mau5

Today (the 5th of Jan) is Deadmau5's birthday, so I got in the spirit of things and got creative... Heres a few mini B-day gifts for teh birthday girl. Happy 30th Joelololol...
 

 

Death trooper arrival.

IT'S HERE! IT'S HERE!! And a little earlier than expected so kudos to Gentle Giant. Oh my, I haven't been this excited since the Tron soundtrack came out. I finally got my Star Wars Death Trooper. (Which are now sold out, I believe) Anyway, here are some picture for you to drool over.

 

 

 

Haha gross bits!

 

So as you can see, he's more awesome than awesome. I YES... I did take him out of the box... Wtf are you gonna do about it?! He has all these little plates that are detachable (So you can see his gross bits haha) and THREE 'alternative' arms. I wish you guys were as cool as me and had one. But you're not, and you don't.

Mondays Love Campaign? A Birthday surprise.

I know this is weird. Stacey being loving towards something, but today is a very special day. It's the birthday of one of my heroes. Which is special, I don't have a lot of heroes. So, er, this guy is French, part of a duo and like to dress up as a robot! Of all things... No it's not one of Justice. It's Thomas Bangalter of Daft Punk.

 

 Let me put it this way... If I met James May tomorrow, I'd probably say 'Alright James, how are you?' however, if I met Thomas Banglater I'd probably say something like 'He-aaaaar aaaarrrrrr ooooooooo huuuuuuurr?' and then fall over. It would be a big deal.

So yeah. I just wanted to say a HUGE happy birthday to Mr. Bangalter, because he's aweosme n stuff.
