Summertime

If I had to pick a favorite season, it could be really difficult. I really wouldn't know which one to choose; for me every season is cool by itself, with good and bad things, that's why I always try to take the best from everyone.
Anyway, I would pick summer. Many people like winter or fall, because of the wheater and stuff. I think they are kind of romantic people. But for me, summer is the best season, it coincides with many things that I like the most, for instance: not going to univ, listening to all my music without restrictions, playing the guitar all day long, hanging out with some pals (beer tastes better when the day it's hot and the bottle is damn cold), going out with random chicks, smoking every kind of grass, attend to open air concerts (thrash, death and stuff), etc. Also, the beach is an important point, you know, the bikini ladies xd
But something that I really love are the summer nights, you can go anywhere, I mean anywhere and you never feel too much cold and you feel ready for anything, (I mean anything).
The problem it's at day, it's very warm in here in summer, I always try to avoid to go out in the day.
So, to sum things up, I'd rather prefer summer for the reasons before mentioned.

And now, ladies and gentlemen, Janis Joplin:

Childishness and external appearances

Well, about hairdressers... as many of you I didn't like going to see them. So, what's the point?
I remember back in the days when I went to school every adult wanted to cut my hair. What could I do? I didn't have the verbal skills or the strengh to protect myself towards that situation; the system or the matrix or whatever was always against me, specially when I discover the almighty and damn great rock & roll, but that's another story.
So I always used to wear(?) my hair very very short. And yes, at least it worked very well with chicks at the time, you know, the hot guy with short hair... that was just the usual (the good old days...).
I remember a hairdresser who cutted my hair and left my head with several sort of holes, (at those days I was dating a girl who was my girlfriend after and she always remembered this "incident"). I don't know if he was drunk or whatever, but at the other day I went back with my brother and my father to kick that moron's ass.
At this time I'm in a headbanger hair-style, the dream of my life. Just when I got out from middle school, I decided to grown up my hair definitely and until the last consequences (the very last consequences). The most important thing for me in relation to this hair-style is the headbanging thing, specially when I'm in stage, it really looks like an atomic vortex.
As a last thought, I sincerely don't hope to see a hairdresser's face in a very long time.

He disapproves.

The right to be a Teetotal

The article I read about was about some abstent guy who claims his right to be a teetotal without any questioning.
Among many reasons he enumerates: religion, self-control, health, etc. But religion is not the main reason; he thinks that nobody can really punish him if he was a alcohol maniac, is all about simply not to like alcohol.
A recent fact related to this topic and one of the reason of this article is that London Metropolitan University proposed the introduction of an "alcohol-free zone". The writer thinks that there is a drink culture in universities and it could be a problem with "teetotal freshers".
Teetotals would feel segregated from the alcoholic ones for many reasons: First, the non-abstent group seems to think that teetotals are silently judging them all the time and that creates tension.
Teetotals, also, feel like they have to find a way to fit or to have a social life for their own, without any help, so the writer thinks that the "alcohol-free zone" could be an aim to those who not like alcohol. He says that it's all about an individual's right to choice, even when probably the other freshers could leave you apart from the university life.
But according to the writer's opinion it won't happen.

Up to them.

Epic-level Mindf**k Cartoons

I used to watch a lot of cartoons when I was a child, I mean all the time. 90's were a total madness. I think that at that time most of the twisted cartoons were made. For instance: Dexter's lab, Cat-Dog (totally insane), Ahhh Real Monsters, Animaniacs (one of my favourites of all time), Pokemon, Digimon, The Dragon Ball Zaga, Phenomenoid, Hey Arnold, Rocko's Modern Life, Pinky & Brain (another classic), Ren & Stimpy (I almost lose my voice at laughing once), etc.
But the gold is taken by the awesome and time-less "FELIX THE CAT". I used to watch the so called "first generation" of this cartoon, suitable for kids. But at the middle 90's arrived a spin-off called "The Twisted Tales Of Felix The Cat" (that surrealist nonsense totally freaked me out at the time).
This Felix is in a world where everything can happen, I mean EVERYTHING. Just let me show you some captures:



 Most of this captures come from "Space-Time Twister" episode.

I remember when I was a child I laughted at the most evident jokes, the little cat and stuff. But now I see this and I think: How the hell they came up with something like this? I think it's something like Family Guy or The Simpsons, when you were a kid you probably didn't understand the sarcasm or the black humor; you laughted at the cartoons per se. But now we have the access to remember all this stuff and understand the actual meaning of the jokes.
I'm leaving, but first, I want you to see just the intro of this mindscrew cartoon and you will get  why something is *wrong* with this writer.


See ya!
