Nervous Vlogger

A video of random nervousness!






Music Monday: Lorde "Royals"



I've never seen a diamond in the flesh

I cut my teeth on wedding rings in the movies
And I'm not proud of my address
In the torn up town, no post code envy

But every song's like:
Gold teeth
Grey Goose
Tripping in the bathroom
Bloodstains
Ball gowns
Trashing the hotel room

                                    We don't care, we're driving Cadillacs in our dreams
But everybody's like:
Crystal
Maybach
Diamonds on your timepiece
Jet planes
Islands
Tigers on a gold leash

                                    We don't care, we aren't caught up in your love affair
And we'll never be royals (royals)
It don't run in our blood
That kind of lux just ain't for us, we crave a different kind of buzz
Let me be your ruler (ruler)
You can call me queen bee
And baby I'll rule, I'll rule, I'll rule, I'll rule
Let me live that fantasy

My friends and I we've cracked the code
We count our dollars on the train to the party
And everyone who knows us knows
That we're fine with this, we didn't come from money

But every song's like:
Gold teeth
Grey Goose
Tripping in the bathroom
Bloodstains
Ball gowns
Trashing the hotel room

We don't care, we're driving Cadillacs in our dreams
But everybody's like:
Crystal
Maybach
Diamonds on your timepiece
Jet planes
Islands
Tigers on a gold leash

We don't care, we aren't caught up in your love affair
And we'll never be royals (royals)
It don't run in our blood
That kind of lux just ain't for us, we crave a different kind of buzz
Let me be your ruler (ruler)
You can call me queen bee
And baby I'll rule, I'll rule, I'll rule, I'll rule
Let me live that fantasy

ooh ooh oh ooh
We're better than we've every dreamed
And I'm in love with being queen

ooh ooh oh ooh
Life is great without a care
We aren't caught up in your love affair

And we'll never be royals (royals)
It don't run in our blood
That kind of lux just ain't for us, we crave a different kind of buzz
Let me be your ruler (ruler)
You can call me queen bee
And baby I'll rule, I'll rule, I'll rule, I'll rule
Let me live that fantasy





Music Monday: Strawberry Alarm Clock "Incense and Peppermint"



Good sense, innocence, cripplin' and kind.
Dead kings, many things I can't define.
Oh Cajun spice, sweats and blushers your mind.
Incense and peppermints, the color of thyme.

Who cares what games we choose?
Little to win, but nothing to lose.

Incense and peppermints, meaningless nouns.
Turn on, tune in, turn your eyes around.
Look at yourself, look at yourself,
Yeah, yeah.
Look at yourself, look at yourself,
Yeah, yeah,
Yeah, yeah.

To divide the cockeyed world in two.
Throw your pride to one side, It's the least you can do.
Beatniks and politics, nothing is new.
A yardstick for lunatics, one point of view.

Who cares what games we choose?
Little to win, but nothing to lose.

Good sense, innocence, crippled and kind.
Dead kings and many things I can't define.
Oh Cajun spice, sweats and blushers your mind.
Incense and peppermints, the color of thyme.

Who cares what games we choose?
Little to win, but nothing to lose.

Incense, peppermints, incense, peppermints.

Sha-la-la, sha-la-la....



Music Monday : Blackberry Smoke "Up In Smoke"



Hit town like a freight train runnin’
starin’ at us like deer in the headlights
never thought you had another thing comin’
did the same damn thing to em’ last night

Everywhere we go everywhere we been
leave a trail of ashes and a trail of sin
pack up the gear let’s hit the road
we got a long way to go now

[Chorus]
Up in smoke
down in flames
jump on board
roll em’ like a freight train
clap yo hands
stomp yo feet
boogie on down to the redneck backbeat
throwdown it’s a hillbilly hoedown
fire it up we can go all night now
come on y’all ain’t no joke
watch the world go up in smoke

Little gal in the skin tight britches
get up and get down to the front row
sure hope your boyfriend ain’t lookin’
he won’t get hurt by what he don’t know
he don’t know that I know and you know
that I got some plans for you, baby

Everywhere we go everywhere we been
leave a trail of ashes and a trail of sin
pack up the gear let’s hit the road
we got a long way to go now

[Chorus]

Everywhere we go everywhere we been
leave a trail of ashes and a trail of sin
pack up the gear let’s hit the road
we got a long way to go now

Watch em’ now





Sexy Fish Sandwich

It's nothing new to see sexuality used to sell products. It's also no surprise that Hardees (AKA Carl Jrs) uses over sexualized commercials to sell their sandwiches. From the infamous commercial of Paris Hilton washing a car in a bikini and eating her hamburger to the newest sexy Hardess commercial featuring a bikini clad beach bunny simulating oral sex on a straw.

It's disappointing to say the least. Exposure to overly sexual material leaves little to the imagination. It also makes companies appear overly desperate to sell their worthless product. If the burger was really that good, I wouldn't need a body to tell me so. Seeing too much flesh, at inappropriate times, causes us to lose appreciation for the real deal.

Where do we draw the line? Our society attempts to push the boundaries of every aspect in life, it's important to change and evolve. It is clear that sex sells products, it's cliche. Using sexuality to churn marketing is an attempt to grab your attention at whatever cost. We've seen scantly clad women (and men) used in movies, clothing ads and even car ads. Sexuality touches many aspects of American culture. One place I thought it could be avoided was in the fast food chains.

It's not very surprising that a fast food chain would hop on the bandwagon. You expect to see kid friendly places like McDonald's avoid such antics. However, Hardees leans more toward the adult demographic. Their commercials have always been racy and it's hard to find one that doesn't make your stomach turn. (Check out this article.)

I would love to see sexuality banned from commercials. I love racy, dirty movies and support adult decisions to consume such media. However, I believe these commercials are desensitizing our children and a population as a whole. It is unnecessary to show a woman bent over in a bikini sucking on a straw and making moaning sounds. Especially during the middle of the day when most families are at home trying to enjoy a good sitcom. It also seems shallow and dumb to buy into such marketing strategies. If you like the burger (or product) then by all means enjoy. But don't be naive to think that just because a company is trying to get your attention with such disrespectful tactics that their product is going to be worth your money or attention. Vote with your wallet.


Don't want to give Hardees any attention but I'll let the evidence speak for itself.

Music Monday: Citizen Cope "Bullet and a Target"

Click here for Citizen Cope

Mr. Dali Lamas
Another sister's shootin' heroin tomorrow
Amputees in Freetown
Sierra Leone's
The church wasn't honest
The state put the youth in a harness
Creatin' hostility among us
Teacher said no college
Still the kid's gotta get a check with a couple commas
People wanna bomb us
More people gotta scatter and run from us
You can blame it on Zeus and Apollo and Adonis

But what you've done here
Is put yourself between a bullet and a target
And it won't be long before
You're pulling yourself away


But what you've done here
Is put yourself between a bullet and a target
And it won't be long before
You're pulling yourself away

I've been knowing her for years
I've been seeing her for years
She got dark, dark wavy hair
With a voice like she just don't care
She got a skirt with a halter top
She's got a dad who never gave a fuck
She drinks a beer with a malted top
She got knocked up in a pickup truck
But she got engaged when she was nineteen
To this dude who was acting insane
Had a .45 that he always cleaned
Said one day one day one too many days
Now she ducked and she ran away
Never to be heard from, never to be seen
I check the cover of a magazine
I'm just wondering how, just wondering how

But what you've done here
Is put yourself between a bullet and a target
And it won't be long before
You're pulling yourself away [4x]

A bullet and a target [4x]

Between a bullet and a target

Bellbottoms

Classic hippie wear. Bellbottoms hit the mainstream scene in the 60's. The great style hugs the thighs wonderfully and flair at the knee. This flair can be very large, depending on the pant.

Originally, according to Wikipedia, bellbottoms originated in the 19th century for naval soldiers."These "bell-bottoms" were often just very wide-legged trousers, unlike modern versions cut with a distinct bell." Stylish wasn't the desire but they were comfortable and easy to move in.

In the 60's the trend spread. Many women picked up on the new bellbottoms trend and the men weren't too far behind. By the late 60's the bellbottom had both male and female fans. The gender neutral style allowed everyone to be comfortable and hip. 

The style was made popular by many celebrities in the 1960's and 1970's. Seen first the 1964 concert film The T.A.M.I. Show, Toni Basil wears them as a go-go dancer. Also, on the Sonny and Cher Variety Show, the trend reached it's peak. Bellbottoms also drew homage in a song Bellbottom Bluesoriginally recorded by Derek and Domino (later remade by Eric Clapton). Soon enough, people were dying to get their hands on these adorable pants.
