So, this weekend Vivian, Diva, and I went to Diskotekka. I’ve been to clubs in NY and Gainseville before and had a really good time, but I hated this place. Everyone waited for everyone else to dance. No one bothered strangers. The DJ barely left any song in place besides it’s lyrics. (Who knew “Call Me” had avant Afro beats? I didn’t!) Even the drag queens seemed swept up in trendy Miaaaami tastes.
The whole evening made me realize why I hate Miami: it’s seedy and trashy but in a seedy and trashy trends way. It seemed like everyone was up to date on current guido clothing and skany lingerie but no one followed their own beat. I prefer a whole in the wall where you see open freaks than closet geeks where they play AN ACTUAL SONG.
Luckily, I’m moving in August and will be in NY where real freaks, not just bipolar homeless people, will be easier to find. Speaking of moving, I finally graduated yesterday. It was cheesy and cliché as expected. One speech told us we would fail if we were unique. Another told girls to make sandwisches. My favorited one talked about how 9/11 destroyed our innocence. That’s for sure. But I’m leaving this all behind with a smile on my face. I might glimpse back but I don’t plan on coming back for long. I’ll miss my close friends and teachers, but I won’t miss living in this haunted house or walking past bullshit laced fake brick. Bye, bye, John Hughes. Hello, what I’ve been waiting for.

I HAVE NOT BLOGGED IN SO SO LONG SO THIS IS A MASSIVE PRETENTIOUS RAMBLE
Sorry for long time, no blog. I've been BUSY BUSY BUSY. Pop culture wise, I haven't had much on my mind besides the usual: post modernism, Courtney Love, gay icons, ext., ext. Sorry to be so repetitive but TV and music are boring me to death right now. I've only been watching Glee (which has gotten a lil shitty) and The Hills because that show has gotten really dark, which makes that borezone interesting. Heidi went nuts. It's like a postmodern Tennessee Williams play on MTV! They should get a great documentarian to make a docu about that couple.
Speaking of post modern, that art era is apparently nearing it's end according to art historians. I find this ironic since they associate Gaga and Ke$ha more with the era than MJ and Madonna. Maybe, Gaga, Ke$ha and Miley belong to this new untitled era. An era which swill consist of self-ackowledgement, lack of cultural consistancy, and unrealistic "reality," not realism. But that just sounds like post modernism.Then again, realist plays like Ibsen's Ghosts and paintings like Courbet's Burial at Ornans are just as fake as The Hills. Crucify me. It's the truth. It seems more like post modernish just hit the mainstream. Pop culture used to tend to lag behind the art world but thanks to Warhol, Madonna, Gaga, and others that have blended the lines between class and trash, pop culture=art. (Yes, even when reffering to Heidi. That persona is performance art at it's finest).
That was an uber confusing paragraph.
Oh, dear Lindsay Lohan, I loved Mean Girls, Parent Trap, and Georgia Rule. Get your act together, star in some great romances and super hero flicks, hook up with Whedon, and then go gritty for an oscar so I can love you again. I don't want to see you on your ass at Cannes. It's not cute or funny. It's sad, but I'm lacking sympathy. I'm annoyed and I gave Courtney Love a chance, so, imagine how annoyed your OTHER FANS ARE!
I'm obsessed with the concept of this woman: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vMyc148Do_Q but I don't know how much I love her.
I love the new Hole record. It's not the Exile on Main Street I wanted, but it's better then Billy's latest free singles.
Enough rambling. I'm sick of typing at the Broward library. So psyched for SLC in the fall.
Avoir, Mother L**ckers (this was a very post modern goodbye. hehe)
