Gotta Kick It Up


Seriously.

A movie I saw 8 years ago that came on the Disney Channel. I was 12 and thought it was the most halfway inspirational thing that I had ever seen. Fast forward in time to when I am 21 and watching it in my bedroom because I have nothing better to do with my time, and I come to realize that it is the most half-assed movie I had ever seen.

Things I didn't like about Gotta Kick It Up:

1. Those girls were whining the whole movie.
  • "I don't want to be here."
  • "You won't teach us how to spin on our heads even though it's still day one and none of us can even dance yet."
  • "You won't let us compete even though we just learned how to do the Washing Machine a week ago."
The only thing they exemplified was how to not know how to take any type of order and completely disrespect anything they were told.

2. Speaking of the Washing Machine, GOOD LORD the cultural refrences. Okay, I understand. You're a bunch of lower-middle class mexicans trying to make it in the world. Or some shit. Using the phrase "Si, se puede" in every possible - and sometimes completely incorrect - situation does not make you any type of bilingual.You're all american! Well, almost all. That's if you excuse the one obvious Asian girl that was pretending to be some sort of across the border foreign exchange student.

3. They were all in middle school? These grown ass female characters were somehow all supposed to pretend to be 13 and actually convince me that they were still in the 7th grade? Thats preposterous!

4. Considering the fact that they were supposed to still be in middle school, how does Disney Channel expect to justify the relationship between the one girl, Daisy, and her obviously over-aged boyfriend Chewey?* He was a grown ass man, riding around in a Pinto, working in a auto-shop after he dropped out of High School only lord knows how many years ago dating a girl who is supposed to still be going to Marshal Middle School? I don't appreciate the Disney Channel trying to advocate this type of behavior between grown ass men and 'minors.'

5. ...Why in the hell was there a grown man walking around with the name of something used as a descriptive label of a chocolate granola bar? Chewey? Are you serious?

6. And that last caption at the end of the movie? They made it to nationals. ROLL CREDITS. I don't even know what the fuck happens after that? Do they lose? Do they win? Do I even care? God, the emotional unavailability towards any of these characters kills me. What makes it worse, is the fact that this shit is based on a true story... I'm not kidding you.

If Disney Channel was trying to relate to its Latin audience in any way, I find this a spectacular fail. As nothing more than a really bad attempt at spanish Bring It On, I can only wonder what in the hell I was high on as a 12 year old. I am dissappoint.


---------------------
*Side note: I have just learned that Chewey is supposed to be spelled Chuy. That does not make anything better. Most especially this movie.

Maybe it's too hard?

Or maybe I'm just a few days shy of getting my period, bloated, overly hormonal and crying all the time because of it.

Who knows?

Why is it so hard?

The wanting of what one can not have is a powerful act.
If you wanted it even slightly before, now you want it exponentially more.
If you didn't want it at all, now you're eyes have been opened.
You want all of it.
And I want all of it.
I want it exponentially more.
But I don't deserve something so good.
Because I'm a bitch.
A user.
A horrible girl who would only bring pain to somewhere pain has no need to be.
Don't love me.
Don't even like me.
Don't bother listening to me.

All will be as it was.
As it should be.

I am everything that you say I am.

I know I shouldn't get upset with things people have to say about me. As a 'grown woman' I should be able to brush off anything I hear from another person. Sadly... I'm not all that grown.

Now, the amount of people coming from the woodworks and the faucets and leaking from the ceiling telling people how much of a user I am is greatly upsetting to me. Who's heads have I been messing with?

I'm just leading dudes by the nose left and right with no regard for their feelings at all.

Don't fuck with Ashley, because she's just playing games. She'll fuck a niggas head up.

What kind of person do people think I am? All the more incentive to get the hell out of Georgia. Maybe people somewhere else I go won't think of me as such a using ass hoe.

Here's to hoping.

I don't have a job anymore.

"Ashley! The doctor gave me the - ahhh - the all clear. So monday will be your last day. If you want to do it, let me know, if not then - ahh - just let me know."

Roy, I'm not sure if I had time to tell you this before...

but I fucking hate your guts.

Being upset

I refuse to write about it.

Moving the fuck on...

I'm a fucked up dude.

The General Plan:

To fuck. Done.

Step 1:
Convince female that they are special. Tell them things they want to hear in order to gain their trust. Make them like you. Tell them 'secrets,' things that they believe you've never told anyone else. Let them know how much you love them. Convince them that they feel the same.

Step 2:
Go to great lengths in order to be around the female. Fly, swim, crawl, make them drive 14 hours. Just be in general vicinity of female.

Step 3:
Fuck.

Step 4:
Act like nothing ever happened. Cut contact with said female. There are more females to unleash the plan on. The feelings of the previous female are no longer of any concern.

Nothing of value was lost.

-----------------------------------
I fucking hate dudes, I'm just saying. I refuse to have sex with anyone I haven't known IN PERSON for at least a year. Because all this shit, and I'm not even saying this in general relation to myself, makes me sick. And angry. And makes me want to punch the nigga(s) I'm talking about in the face.

Winter Dillinger Escape Plan




Okay, seriously, I want this hoodie really badly. Like, really, really badly. Look at it!

Not only is it a band hoodie, something I haven't had since that one incident where someone stole my Fullmetal Alchemist hoodie in the 11th grade (the bombest hoodie to ever grace Towers High School, I must say), but it's a Dillinger Escape Plan hoodie.

DILLINGER ESCAPE PLAN HOODIE.

Aka, the hoodie of my favorie band (of the moment). I want this hoodie. And I'm going to get it. Even if it is $80.00. I have plans for my life this winter and it includes being warm with a book by the fire (what fire?!) in a hoodie that says DILLINGER ESCAPE PLAN in a vertical fashion.

Something you don't care about

I may be completely late in learning this, but I can’t help but think that this is how all females should feel.


Have Sex + Get Period = The Greatest Feeling Ever.

The sweet confirmation from your body that you aren’t pregnant. That wonderful feeling of “hey, wow, I’m totally not ruining my life by having unplanned children.” Not to say that anyone should wait around thinking that they’re pregnant all the time until proven otherwise. This however just seems like a nice little way for my insides to let me know that I’ve done a good job in not being a brainless whore.

“Here’s a trophy for using a condom. Its called menstruation.”

Just throwing that out there.

Something[s] I hate

  • I hate my job. I used to love it, however, I suppose that was back when I was working at the other Leslie's in Stone Mountain. Maybe it was the atmosphere of not being inside of a cluttered shopping center. Maybe it was the fact that I was able to tolerate my co-workers for extended periods of time.  I don't know. I just loathe working at the Decatur store. It's lame.
  • I hate being stood up. With certain situations. I accept the hands that I am dealt, and in this one, I accept it slightly less gracefully than I should, but it is accepted nonetheless. Over the past month, I have been stood up three times with no explanation from three different people, and none of it was ever even for a date. RJ stood me up this weekend. Why? Who knows. We were just supposed to hang out and watch a crap movie, but answering the phone was just not on his agenda. It would have at least been more polite to call me back and say, "I don't feel like it today." I wasn't doing to drop down dead from lack of contact. Danny! even stood me up on his birthday. How graceful. I have honestly decided that no fucks will further be given. I honestly don't have the energy to care anymore.
  • I hate the fact that Adam Homer Lawson is currently in possession of my soul. Not even figuratively. I'm being literal. I made a book laced with little bits of my life and soul and gave it to him like a complete idiot. I made it for him, of course, but if I knew that he was going to be so completely ungrateful for the time and energy it takes to make an entire fucking book, then I would have kept the shit for myself. I honestly want it back. He hasn't said as much as a word about it. Not a, "thanks, this is kind of nice," not a "oh, wow, what was living in your locker when you were 15 that you so carefully wrote about," not even a, "this is kind of lame." I would have accepted anything to at least let me know that my words were even read. But no, I've got nothing. Seriously. Fuck that guy.

Old bowls of fruit don't smell as good as they should.

First order of business: My hair is now short and some variation of red and brown. I'm not entirely sure which it is as of yet, but you get the point.

This is the worst picture ever taken of me bee-tee-dubbs. I really wish Paul would learn how to listen to people and take this shit off Facebook. I really don't need people seeing this. I'm only putting it on LiveJournal because it's not like anyone gives a shit what I say here, anyway.


Second order of business: I have come to the conclusion that I officially hate my job. Hatred. I really had working at the Decatur Leslie's. You wouldn't think that sitting around on your ass all day reading would suck so much, but you thought wrong. So very wrong.



Third order of business: I would imagine that running away to Denver would be a rather decent change of pace at the current moment. The constant reminder of being lame as shit and doing nothing in Georgia is really not what I want out of life. Not that I want to move to Denver and become a VetTech... but at least its fucking something.

It looks nice enough there...


Fourth order of business: Tech N9ne and Circa Survive are coming next month (not together), Dragon*Con and AWA are both this month, and Gavin Castleton has a new album coming out. At least these things I can look forward to.


Fifth order of business: Today I bought shoes that are just too damn high to stand in let alone take a walk in. They are going to be promptly returned for a nice pair of sensible boots. I'm sorry shoes.

They're just too high. TOO HIGH. I want them so badly, but I'm going to break my ankles off.
