Valentine's Post

All you lovers out there,just here to wish you Happy Valentine's Day...or I could be a total cynical asshole and remind you that's it's nothing but an ingenious way of making you broke from overpriced chocolates and roses ( I would know,I used to sell them ) BUT I won't do that.

I don't get why people would want to get in the way of good things like the celebration of love. I know,it's a total rip off but aren't there more important things to protest against? It's like investigating whether Al Gore is doing what he does for the money or for the passion. It doesn't really matter because if it's just business to him then it's a damn ethical one,aye? Anyway,back to the protesting against love,I wasn't really talking about Valentine's Day(because nobody really protests against Valentine's Day) but more of gay marriages.

If it's against your religion,isn't judging someone against yours too? All legit religions have one message and that is to love. Love people. Love yourself. Love that YMCA dude in tight leather pants. Don't get me wrong,I'm not asking you to be a hippie. I'm not asking you to be a Dalai Lama. I'm just asking you to have decency as a human being and that means embracing happiness(lasting happiness,not let's-get-drunk and-screw happiness).

I've always been curious about the battle between good and evil,and I've come to one conclusion : People should be able to do whatever they want to do as long as they don't harm other living things. It's not as simple but that's the basic rule so go and get something real to fight against like global warming or bribery.

Well,that's just my opinion and I'm not even homosexual. Think about it,then maybe you'd make it yours. For now,I'm just going to wish all you straight,gays or lesbians 'Happy Valentine's Day!'

Oh,and watch this movie : Flawless ( the one with Robert De Niro ). It's great entertainment and it might help you open up to other things. Alternatively,watch American Beauty,my favourite. *wink*

Green Tip : Uh. Don't get junk for your lover on Valentine's Day. It's a waste of resources. And you might find yourself single the next day.

Indie's Baby

Meet Lykke Li. She's this I chick discovered on Jason Mraz's blog. Sorry it took me so long to blog about her because she's been off my radar for a couple of months now but now she's back (=
Her voice is similar to a whining girlfriend's with the charm of a little girl meets well...anything sexy. She's not exactly Beyonce but she's very appealing in another way. I couldn't think of another way to describe her charm. Oh. And don't ever be fooled by her voice. Here's a tip : Read her lyrics.

You either love her or find her freaky but it's quite hard to hate her. Her music's not really a guy thing,unless you happen to have a very androgynous mind.

Her style? Uh. Indie Pop. Hippie. Carefree.

This is Little Bit (remix) by Drake & Lykke Li. I was going to upload the original version but I think it can be found too easily and this is the sort you find after a few hits on google. Besides,I think the remix version is a great display of Drake's talent as well.
