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.

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:
I would actually rather be raped to death, than walk through the mess of webs.
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;
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...
