Purity Rings...

I got a whole lot of strong opinions (Ask anyone ^^) but some of my strongest concern the whole Disney Channel business. I think that Walt Disney was a friggin genius that the cartoon/animated/what-you-call-it movies are beautiful and the songs are breathtaking, but I can’t stand Disney Channel and any of its Disney channel stars. Most of them are talentless, brought up in showbizz and overly dramatic. Some of them are okay.

I understand that Christianity is important in the US, and hypocrisy apparently too, but Disney is in my opinion just taking it too far. Really, a purity ring? I do so not believe that for instance those Jonas Brothers are all as ‘’pure’’ as they say they are. The oldest one is married! And he is 22! Dude, everyone must understand that he just wanted sex. According to Wikipedia (Yes, the JoBros are my favourite subject, I google them like... all the time.) they met in 2007. So wait. Imagine you are a 20 year old guy, forced to sing in a boy band with your two younger brothers and under a strict contract with Disney. You are the least attractive one of them( the guy has SIDEBURNS.) , but your target audience of kids (mostly girls...) between 7 and 13 years old doesn’t care about that, and worships you just as much as your brothers. The girls old enough for you to date (16+?) love you anyway because of your helicopter and swimming pools of money. So? You date. But very innocent, the American press is following you. But behind the scenes... And then BAM, you are on a vacation, meet a girl, decide she is THE ONE (to have sex with) and marry her 2 years later. I give it 1,5 year. A nasty divorce and your free! Of Disney, of purity rings and of your brothers. Great plan Kevin.

You get my point? Forcing teenagers to be all God-loving and PUR is marketing a horrible example. Yesyes, kids raised by true Christians, who live by those rules, will find the Disney stars amazing, but people raised by people with other views will laugh at it.

I got respect for Christianity, for staying pure until marriage and for having your own opinions, but I truly hate hypocrisy.

Btw, has anyone seen the new music video for Telephone by Lady Gaga and Beyonce? The song is quite cool, but video makes me quasy... It isn't... Beyonce? The whole thing is Gaga, and she is is the focus the whole time.

Not a Lady Gaga fan over here.

Jon Huck - Breakfast-art

I totally love this. At first sight I didn't really get it, but after a few looks I saw the matching colour palets and the way the pictures fit together. It is smart art.

I don't eat breakfast. What does that say about me? I wonder what kind of breakfast dish my face would make...

 

Rambling about books and blonde people

"So please, oh PLEASE, we beg, we pray,

Go throw your TV set away,

And in it's place you can install,

A lovely bookshelf on the wall."

— Roald Dahl, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory

What do you read when there is nothing to read? Seriously, I've read almost all my books over here in my room in Førde, and the ones that I haven't read are the ones that I don't feel like reading... Do I take another sniff at my HP obsession by reading the 5th one, the only one I got here? Naaaaah, I recently saw the 6th movie and it threw me off. I'm definitly not watching the last ones. Or.... Not right away. Miss Marple? Conelia Funke? *sigh* Twilight? I got issues... Dan Brown? 

What I, of course, can do is read some for the Geography test we have tomorrow. I know that I don't take my education serious enough, but I think I've read enough. I will fix the things I don't get tomorrow. At school. 10 minutes before the lesson starts. As a true teenager does.

Tomorrow I'm wearing my blue, floral skirt for the first time, to celebrate the dryness of the roads and the smell of summer in the air. Something I never understood was why no one smells the air the same way I do. Right now it smells summerly, salty, like ice-cream and sunblock. Earlier this winter I smelled the snow coming in, and was just as excited. No one got it. Weird people with their weird noses.

I always scream at the top of my lungs that I don't like blonde guys, well I'm re-considering that. Maybe I do like blonde guys. I like THIS blonde guy.

Can you blame me? <3 Yeah, yeah, I know it is Draco from the HP movies, also known as Tom Felton. Btitish accents kind of melt me and I would take his blondehaired him over Daniel Go-get-a-stylist-and-some-acting-talent Radcliffe anytime ^^

Btw, am I the only one who hates the new look of Youtube? It confuses me, and I have enough trouble focusing without getting confused... Anyway to get it back?

In the zaveeloooow house!

There's a house down on the corner

That we always used to talk about

Never had the guts to go inside

Not even on a dare

Boarded up and creepy

Scary eyes looked out upon a sleepy town

Fascination kept us guessin'

Why the sign read to Beware

We always knew just what would hit the fan

If we got an up-close look at the boogieman

Shadows on the wall

Voices in the hall

There's more than just a mouse

In the Zavelow house

Owsley - Zavelow House

Links :D

I’ve been crazy obsessed with links lately. I have added a bunch, and found even more. You know the favourites thingie? Well, mine is overflowed... The World Wide Web is full of cool sites, which need visiting from bored teens. Some of them are artistic others just funny. No need to check them every day, but once in a while, when your bored, click on the tiny link. They are amazing.

Face Your Pockets!

People wear junk in their pockets and bags. That a fact. Ask anyone to empty them and you’ll discover a whole lot about that person. In this on-going photo project they ask people to spread their belongings on a scanner and take a picture including their faces. It says so much about the people. Even how they’ve arranged their stuff is personal. I’m a wallet person. I find them fascinating, because they say so much about you. The money, the bank passes, the pictures. It’s like a little diary. And no, I’m not talking about reading recites.

Before I die I want to...

What do you want to do before you die? Such a simple question with many answers. I wouldn’t know what to write under my picture. Would you?

A Beautiful Revolution

This rather brilliant guy doodles and writes in such a sad manner that it is charming. And beautiful. And depressing. But we won’t say that.
