A Weirder Spellpost, admittedly

First. Awesome, but probably seen it (since I only have spellposted it a million times). And now: Second. Happy? I enjoy a well-done parody of a well-done cover.

Now, animal talk. (I heard that collective 'ugh' from my non-vegan/veggie/herbivore spellreaders, but I'm not talkin' that stuff so much as just lovin' me some animales (spanish) today). As you spellreaders must know, I'm a big fan of animals. I've had a fish (R.I.P. Pygmalion), a dog (still have Z), and a cat (she will be missed, but she had to find a better home because my spelldaddyoo is allergic--oh, and that was a secret thing that you spellreaders were supposed to find out about through picture day because I wasn't supposed to technically have a cat, so I couldn't go around bragging about it, but now that it's gone...sad :( My kitty...). I'm also, again, vegan. So yeah, I'm as much of an animal person as my spellparents allow me to be (my spellfamily likes animals, but they're not as hippie/crazy). Why do I clarify this? Becauseeeeeee...

I want to bury Z here when she dies (in a bajillion years, the half-second before I die, of course). But, even I admit, it's a little intense. I mean, I dig pet cemeteries, but some of these graves are more lavish than some of my deceased relatives. Something I found interesting, though, is the fact that you can be cremated and put next to your pet when you die. Interestinggggg.......

Here's what I'm thinking, for when I die (ya know, this is such a dark thing to do, and totally a bad omen, but I'll take my chances, haha--I tend to believe that, once you say it, it's way less likely to happen anytime soon):

1) Organs to science/people that need body parts. I pity the foo' that gets my eyes and thusly my contacts prescription. I mean, take the lot of it. I don't mind.

2) Cremation, but a modest little grave stump thing near my family. Gotta have something for people to stare at mournfully and write dark poetry about when they're feeling Edgar Allen Poe-ish.

3) Put some ashes near the grave (maybe my dog's grave, too, if that's what up). Maybe. Maybe toss them at people you don't like. Ruin someone's dinner if you're feeling goofy. But then donate the rest to the coral reefs. (Really, just send all the ashes to the coral reefs; that's mean to get them near people, and honestly, I do need to put ashes near my spellfamily just to know that we're connected in some afterlife thing... not that I'm going to get into that nitty-gritty spiritual stuff). I just feel like, at least them I'm not that rotting away, waiting for the Zombie Apocalypse.

4) Give weekly memorials in my honor, hahaha. Just kidding. Let me sleep. By the time I'm a bajillion, I'm going to need some serious beauty sleep.

...

All right. So this is a dark spellpost, but it's not meant to be. Comment below what your funeral arrangements are going to be! Let's keep things light and cheerful because, hey, as John Mayer said, "The thing about death is even though-- even the most frightened person in the world--the guy that wouldn't leave his house, ya know, the guy that was afraid of germs, the guy who... he died. He did it. And he was a [*****], theoretically. And if that guy can walk through--shuffle off this mortal coil--then why can't I?" Mark Twain said that Death is one of two things that is inevitable (the other is taxes), so why does no one want to discuss it? I mean, not to be dark or heavy or anything, but why do we associate 'death' WITH "dark" or "heavy?" It's just a thing that no one really knows about--like how good Robert Pattinson is to kiss, or what it's really like to be a mermaid, or how cool it would be to have snakes for hair (not like Medusa; I mean friendly snakes, without the 'turning the stone' bit)-- so why do we assume it's bad? Because it hurts at first? So does something else that a lot of people seem to really enjoy (of course I'm referring to pedicures and, uh, running). What if death is actually awesome?! I'm not saying we should all go investigate--because a) I could be wrong, and b) this life is pretty awesome, too--but I'm saying that we should take life as it comes, and then take death as it comes, too. Not like the guy that was afraid of germs, but like John Mayer. Be like John Mayer in the face of death.

This spellpost took a weird turn. My apologies, haha.

Comment below. I'm still interested in what everyone's doing, post-mortem. :)

Bieber Fever Contagion.

Bieber Fever =serious.

Okay, so when this:

...is causing injuries and legal charges and cancelled shows, you know something is awry. I mean, if I was 12 years old and half my height, maybe I could get on board with the Justin Bieber lovin', but really, you don't see Johnny Depp causing mayhem when he comes to town and he's much sexier than a child boy singing love songs. I don't know. I just think it's weird that a boy with gages in both ears is really causing this much destruction. Come on, America. Get you act together.

Obama, not you too! 

I don't know. To each their own, I guess, but I just don't get it. Bieber is young, in a relationship, and semi-looks like a bunny rabbit. Plus, his music is Top 40s garbage pop, he's a small dude, and, well, just look at this:

How can you look at that picture and still take "The Biebs" seriously? Never-NEVER EVER-should Justin Bieber be able to set such a frenzy to so many people.

And the worst part is, it's not even him. It's the idea of him. When he tweeted to his fans to chill out, they didn't. They acted like crazies still. Justin, RUN. Run, you little scrawny rabbit, run!! You're an object to these fans of yours, as almost all celebrities are to their fans, but worst: you're probably their favorite, most coveted object.

Like I said, RUN.

Sigh. It is too bad how sheep-like people can become-- wait, oh my gosh, sheep?!??!?!! Nooooo!! :( :(

Mormons v. Vodka? 

...Yeah. Crazy day in the news, eh? ...My first day at my internship went well, on an unrelated note.

Thanks for Feeding my Ego. 

First day of my internship tomorrow!!!!!

I'm excited (as you can tell by the amount of exclamation marks). I'm nervous, but I'm excited. It'll be good to do something that scares me, you know? Like, really freaks me out rather than just a little anxiety. Once I get over these nerves, I'll be ready for even BIGGER challenges. Awesomeness. :)

Now MORE awesomeness!! The most uplifting part of last year's party was... knowing that I wasn't rocking out to Stereo Drive-By for fun; I was dancing for a good cause!! June 9th, people-- Piers and Blake in Utica! I know that I already said this, but you all gotta go if you're in the city. It'll be tons o' fun, and I'll be there (swag??), so come chill with me and have a great time being a good person! 


Anddddd lastly: this is just fun. Fun, fun, funnnn. Did I already spellpost this?? (Oh my gosh; I saw the "Most Exotic Marigold Hotel" movie and now I can't remember anything--I'm old!!) If I did post this link already, enjoy it again. It's THAT good! 


Wish me luck on tomorrow!


Thanks for Feeding my Ego. 

lack-a-swag phone usage

Sorry. Amusing?

Stereo Drive-By Swag!

When you see an exclamation mark in the title of a spellpost, ya'll must know that things are gettin' real, real quick, up in here. And, of course, ya'll know I'm Stereo Drive-By's biggest fan. So here's so good stuff for ya'll to peruse, and I know that you will all LOVE it because I did, and always do! :)

Their new VIDEO for "Rolling Through Red Lights" !!

Buyyyyyy new songs nowwwww!!!

New CD cover!! 

This is where you can listen to the whole songs fo' free!

If you are not a Stereo Drive-By fan yet, your loss, but today can be your gain (I just like that new Train song-- it has nothing to do with Stereo Drive-By, though). And June 9th can also be your gain if you will be in Utica, NY that day-- Piers and Blake will be showcasing the wonderful talents of Stereo Drive-By at a benefit concert for the Uplifting Project, starting (supposedly) at 10pm.

Come listen to all these great new songs live, and even enjoy some older ones and some covers! I know that I cannot waittttttt!!!!!!!

:) And this is just for fun (anddddd, admittedly, more plugging for things I love, hehehe). I like the second one more, but I have to agree with JumpGenre--the first video is VERY creative and does involve a great deal of talent.

Cute Panda Logo, JumpGenre... I've said this comment before on this spellblog, though...

Anyways, thanks for reading my plugs! Check out all this awesome stuff!

Haps Mems DAY!

Happy Memorial Day, spellreaders!

You know, Memorial Day is about celebrating the hard work our armed forces have dedicated to protecting our country, as we all know, and I, for one, am SUPER grateful for their work today. It's incredible and patriotic and I mourn the many losses of those who gave their lives for our country. 

In addition, though, Memorial Day is about coming together as a country and finding common ground based on the "ground" that we stand on: we are Americans, and we come together today, if for no other day.

That's why I was upset today when, during a humorous Google search for Memorial Day hipsters (to keep up my holiday hipsters theme), I find this little hate-filled doozy. 

Come on, ya'll. We're all human, all doing what we think is right. And sure, you might think Hipsters are demons and evil or something, but they're not hurting anyone directly, and they don't mean to hurt anyone. They're just trying to "do them." So let's ease off on the hate, and if the hipsters are hating on people, they should cool it, too, and let's just share similarities and not battle over stupid, unimportant differences. 

Because, at the end of the day, you'll find a major bond between these two guys, even if one's an old bro and one's a fanny-pack-wearing hipster:

Let's remember our soldiers today, and also remember what our soldiers were fighting for today: they were fighting for the freedom to be whoever you want to be, and they were fighting for America. 

Hope you guys enjoyed some fireworks, cook-outs, mattress sales, parades, family outings, and lots and lots of fun today on your day off of work, and I hope you took the time to be grateful, no matter whether you are a hipster or a bro or a democrat or a republican or a libertarian or a localtarian or a vegan or a freegan or a carnivore or a soldier or a pacifist or a mainstream American. Because people died for us, and that's something we should be grateful for, whether the cause was what you believe in or not.

Thanks for Feeding my Ego.
