You guys, this is kind of super amazing. January 25th was São Paulo's 456th anniversary and to celebrate it, TAP decided to do a repeat of their xmas shenanigans. Check it out:




You can see two of my bosses at 1:30 (the dude in the blue shirt and the Hitler mustache, and the short woman in a vest and trousers), but I'm not actually there. It happened in the afternoon and I work the night shift. =((((

But, seriously. The other airlines should follow TAP's lead and break out in random musical anctics every once in a while. I can't believe I missed it. =/

Ok, so I had something resembling a theme for this when I first planned this picspam up. It was supposed to be something along the lines of  "Reasons why I love this band: a hugeass list!". But... eh. Picspams are already very time-consuming as it is, so it'll just be a series of pictures with flaily comments on them.

:D

( no, I mean it. Your connection is gonna hate me for this. )

But tonight I just really need to sleep.

Have a teaser, though.



I'm pretty sure that Freddy Mercury's soul was whrithing in pain when this happened, but that particular scene is just so adorable. ♥

This video was brought to my attention by the super awesome xanax_n_wine, and it's a major shame I'd never seen it before.

An old MCR interview (I think they'd just signed with Reprise? Frank mentions that during the interview. Gerard says he's twenty-seven, so... Early '04?) for a porn DVD thingy.

You just know you wanna watch it.


Gerard is probably the only human being on the planet who would sit next to a porn actress and talk about D&D. Seriously.  (which is why he is made of win, smores and glittery divaness).

Frank making sure the girl knows he has nothing to do with the D&D business is hilarious. He wants everyone to know he's not that kind of geek, okay. He has class.

Otter staring at the girl cracked me up. Something tells me his mind was something like "I'M IN THE SAME ROOM AS A PORN STAR. HOW IS THIS MY LIFE. WHY IS GERARD TALKING ABOUT ROLE PLAYING GAMES, WHAT IS HIS PROBLEM?". And Gerard being all earnest about how they're not exacty Mötley Crue kind of band, and how difficult it is to find good players for their orc quests and then the girl goes and asks him if he likes porn. His face. Priceless. Oh, Gee.

Also:

"Your mom's coming!" and "You should be ashamed of yourself." kind of killed me.

I guess some of you are familiar with the facepalm-indulcing discussion that went down on tothetune over whether or not Frank Iero is a women hating sex offender, but if you're not, here's a link to the chaos.


A part of my brain is urging me to go back to that thread and mock those bitches into submission. Twist and turn both arguments (mine and theirs) to a point where they don't even remember what the original discussion was all about (which was my original intent last night, but, you know, unlike bitter anons, I actually have a real life that demanded my attention), but I decided it's not worth giving them the satisfaction. That discussion thread is dead. Subject is over. Time to move on.

But, you know, it really does bother me. Not that they think I'm a "sick fuck who needs to shut up"  (by the way, nice job, mods. My 'vagina owner' comment gets deleting for being offensive, but calling someone a sick fuck isn't?), because those are bitter losers who hide behind anonymity to rave about how everyone's wrong but them, when, truly, they're just really fucking pissed that the person they romanticize doesn't really add up to the real life version of said person; what really bothers me is their arrogance. Their twisted sense of self-righteousness.

I think it goes without saying that none of us actually knows any of those bandom boys we all love gush about so much. We may have a general idea of what their personalities are like and once or twice we get a decent notion of what their opinions on life, politics and sexuality are, but when it comes right down to it, we don't know them. They're strangers we follow and analyse and judge and wish for. They're bound to us by this weird sense of gratitude (we pay their bills, we admire their work, we make their dreams come true, we keep their jobs by lingering when others wouldn't) and duty. They do what's possible to give us what we want and, in return, we stay.

If you ask me, that's one hell of a fucked relationship all on its own. And I'm just saying in general. For the most part, us, the followers, lead regular lives. We have families and jobs and school to worry about. Even if we care deeply for these strangers, deep down we know they're not an effective part of our lives and owe us nothing more than artistic awesomeness.

The problem lies in the specifics.

By 'specifics' I really mean 'psychoes'. They appear in different form for every band, I guess. PATD psychoes try get Brendon's blood samples and give them pubic-filled cookies. Beatles psychoes murder John Lennon. FOB psychoes start a band to get Pete's attention (and name it Panic! At the Disco). MCR psychoes demand they act like the caricture of themselves 24/7 and lack sense of humor.

I'm an idealist, okay. I want the world to be painted in rainbow colors to flag up sexual diversity; I want women to be seen as equal to men; I want every single person on the planet to have a home; I want the civil wars that destroy lives and countries around the glove to be over right-fucking-now; I want children never to painfully die of incurable diseases; I want to eliminate the rule that states that, unless you're white, western, christian, upper middle class or above, size 0 or below and young, you don't belong in society. I want a better world, like everyone else and I do believe one of the many keys for that to be achieved is through words and ideas and who better to spread words and implement ideas in people's heads than celebrities? The fact that one of my favorite bands is so passionate about changing the world and saving lives is something of which I'm crazy proud of.

Do you know what else I'm proud of? Being aware of the fact that they're also humans, therefore flawed. Like the rest of us. Most importantly, they're entitled to be flawed like the rest of us.

Some fans are so dead set on seeing them as something close to a semi-deity, they tend to forget they aren't. They're people. They make statements in public, but then tweet something that contradicts it. Wow, shocking.

As a normal human being, I often joke around with my friends or say things when I'm really frustrated that go agains't my actual politic view of the world. I'm a pacifist, I disagree with violence so hard I could punch it in the face. I am also, as it's clear, very fond of dark humor.

Does saying that I'd like to punch violence in the face, even though I'm a pacifist, make me a hypocrite who needs to shut the fuck up? Or does it mean I enjoy to draw a reaction from people? Preferrably laughs, but I'll take what I can get.

I never claimed I knew any of those guys I look up to so much, but I can spot a joke when I see it. Frank saying he'd like to punch he Snow God in its vagina clearly meant he was frustrated as fuck (for the wheather being so cold) and he thought it'd be funny to share his displeaure in a comical form. On his twitter. Like many of us do, on a regular basis.

Is it rocket science? Is it so hard to understand? I really doubt it. But a hater hardly needs a context and all they want is fuel for their bitterness. And, oh, are they bitter. They're bitter because this person they look up to had the opportunities they hadn't. They're bitter because they'll never be as close to them as they wished. They're bitter because they had a romanticized idea of said idol and they sometimes act in a way that contradicts that fantasy. They're bitter and angry.

Also? Cowards and inconsiderate. They want to shout their anger at everyone that dares point out they're wrong, but don't show their face, so they spit ignorance anonymously. They're so quick to forget everything their idol's done in the past, because he made a comment that didn't sit right with them. Oh, man. It's war time.

And to such unreasonable, coward, pathetic creatures, here's a little advice: get a life, bitches.

Ten things said to ten people who shall go nameless.

I'm doing that christmas meme too! :D

...Dallon Weekes, get in my pants. NOW.



( more pics from the Brobecks Haloween concert under the cut )

You guys, I'm beat. I've slept for eight hours straight and still feel like I could sleep another twelve.

My throat, my feet and my calves are so fucking sore, I might've as well run a marathon in Alaska instead of attending a concert. I think I have the flu (luckily, not THE flu), and my voice is pretty raspy right about now.


( but it's INSANELY worth it )


In fewer words: best weekend of my life. I still can't believe it happened to me. It feels so surreal, like it was with someone else. Like I might wake up at any given moment and realize that was it just a dream. I haven't woken up yet.  =D  (*____________________*)

So, erraticonstilts was kind enough to humor me and asked for Gerard.


( 1. Choose a picture of the funniest face on your person )

(...no, wait. It does. *shrugs* Oh, well. I'm sure something rhymes with circus too. Like...ficus. >.>)

SO. What does a new make-up kit + a new camera gets you?

That's right.


( sorry, Bren, I'm prettier than you )

I'm not even gonna pretend I know what's going in the US, politics-wise, but I just wanted to say that if Prop 8 actually gets approved (has it been approved already? Idek), my faith in humanity will drop to -45.  And I'm not even kidding about this.

I dont think anyone has to be okay with sexual diversity, because, for some people, that is quite a strange notion. That doesn't mean, however, that those people incapable of comprehending alternative ways to experience love/lust have the right to dictate how others can or can't demonstrate their love.

If two people of the same sex want to be miserable for the rest of their lives by getting married (needless to say, I'm not a marriage-fan, but if other people are brave enough to dive into that, I say they should have the right to do so.), why can't they, regardless of their gender?

Intolerant homophobes of the world:

If you say you're actually acting on God's behalf, then I suggest you close that old-ass book, and ask yourself if what you're doing really is His will.

Paraphrasing QAF here:

"If God is perfect and makes no mistakes, and he made you a queer, then he meant for you to be like that."
(really shitty paraphrasing here, but I remembered the essence, so that's what counts.)


( And now, to make this post a little less bitter, here's a snippet of a fic I'll never finish )

Guys, I know I'm worst flister ever, but I really need your help right now.

As you all know, I'm a hardcore Panic at the Disco fan and would basically KILL to see them play live. Ticketmaster  has a poll up in its main page asking what international band would the visitors like to see? Panic is among them, BUT. Maroon5 is leading the votes. And it's killing my soul. 

I'm BEGGING (yes, begging. I'm past the point of dignity) everyone in my flist to go over there and vote for Panic as much as they can.


PATIENCE IS THE KEY, APPARENTLY.

		I will marry Shane Vandéz.
		After a wild honeymoon, We will settle down in French countryside in our fabulous Apartment.
		We will have 29 kid(s) together.
		Our family will zoom around in a Gray Mini van.
		I will spend my days as a Hooker, and live happily ever after.

...and which lesser Harry Potter character are you?

Awwwnnn! I loved this one, because, even though I hate Snape...I have to say that my het heart has always been on Lilly&Snape! (I'm pretty sure that James was a cool guy, and he died for his family and all, but he most definitely got cheated on a lot. James/Lilly shippers BACK OFF! I know you didnt like to read that, BUT DEAL WITH IT!)

Need I say more?? *lol*
