Walking on the Edge

Image
I swear this blog hasn't been neglected. *inserts angel emoji here* "I'm going under, drowning in you, I'm falling forever, I've got to break through. So go on and scream, Scream at me, I'm so far away, I won't be broken again." So much so has been going on and I planned this post to be something about lost souls since my baby has a new single, but instead I'm gonna rant about the hypocrisy around the Straight Edge and Non-Edge people. First of all what's Straight Edge: "Straight edge is a subculture originated from hardcore punk whose adherents refrain from using alcohol, tobacco and other recreational drugs. For some, this extends to refraining from engaging in promiscuous sex, following a vegetarian or vegan diet or not using caffeine or prescription drugs. The term straight edge was adopted from the 1981 song "Straight Edge" by the hardcore punk band Minor Threat." It's a pretty simple concept. Liv

Look What You Made Me Do

How is you, my lovelies? It's the Spring Equinox today and this is pretty much me: I have a post planned but decided to do a little marketing on social platforms first, since it'll need massive impact, so that people can actually participate in it. Motivated by the will to sound a little less uncultured, I've dived onto youtube and because of friend's suggestions (let me make a parenthesis here - friend who said "I don't listen to much. What do you like?" so I proudly showed him AFI, to which he replied with his actual repertoire of music. This is an accurate gif of how I feel near him: ) Now the platform is showing me new stuff and what's more interesting is, I'm actually listening. Never really been a fan of listening to *new* music, as I've been too much stuck on the old things I listened. Bands constantly followed me on twitter (it's my main network) asking me to check them out. I never really did, unfortunately. But I guess

Separation Anxiety

Here's what I'm listening to as I write this post and it feels kinda fitting. "You were the love of my life, the darkness, the light. This is a portrait of a tortured you and I. Is this the, is this the, is this the end? I'll wrap my hands around your neck so tight with love, love, love." Life is one ironic piece of shit. One day you lament yourself or talk about something like breaking teeth, the next day you actually break it. One day you post a quote; With a gif saying something like 'no motivation' [for that inspirational quote] and the gif vanishes, leaving you just with the said inspirational quote, making others perceive you're extra motivated. Only no. Missing the first 5 seasons of SPN, tho. The irony I bring you today is; when you're a kid with divorced parents and have absolutely no troubles with them finding someone else to love, you end up with a [kid] family member that controls you to that extent.  So today&#

Durability of Music

Death almost never brings anyone together. Parents who lose their kids, family that loses a member, friends that lose friends.  This conclusion came to me a while ago when we, in a group of tightnit 3 Best friends lost one of us. The Best Friend that remained drifted away from me, at first it was my fault, since she was the only one that attended to the funeral. Then, probably not a year after, just simply because.  That was just four years after losing another person, which is a more of a complicated story. Oh no, self-pitying much? Nah. I've somehow managed to move on. However, sometimes I wonder what happened to her. We've been through a lot, after all. But then I simply don't care about people that don't even bother talking to me. Okay, that's probably a lie. Ps, don't google self-pity unless you want a bunch of bigots giving you unsolicited inspirational quotes. Update: omg it's actually fucking toxic, don't do it. Were it so, I

The Whole of The Moon

Image
It's 80's time on VH1 Classic and I find myself here, writing at "The Whole of The Moon" by Waterboys and I realize I've known all of these songs from the heart, but had no idea about the band's appearance. Unlike now a days, no one cared about it. This is the time I recall my mother listening all these songs on the car radio and singing along - something she doesn't do today anymore, since she's also moved on from the 80's, just like everyone else, much to my dismay. And the video clips were plain stupid, which makes it even better. Also realized that, it was probably 98 or 99 and almost 20 years since the songs were released yet, they still played on constant repeat on the radio. Now we have dedicated radios to the 80's, which plays everything but the 80's. - The world is in desperate need of a good punk-rock brand new band to spring up the scene back into the spotlight. It's not just the established bands that count. Everyone

Explained Absence.

I'm currently sitting at my sister's desk, thinking about what to write as my first come-back post from a long hiatus, due to family coming from abroad season. But all I can hear is Panic! At the Disco's 'High Hopes' on the TV and it's honestly condemning my concentration. I still can't stand P!ATD, no matter what they do. So sad. Reminds me of that 10 year's challenge doing on the internet right now. Totally not sorry for my first crappy meme. I just discovered MTV Rocks still exists and it makes me kinda happy. Even if at least 20% of what's on it IT'S NOT ROCK (Eyeing you, George Ezra, eugh). And it gets so repetitive that by now I know songs that aren't my type, simply because one memorizes something even if they absolutely don't want. Yeah I mean, men don't wear guyliner anymore, I'm cool with it. But does it mean they have to be so ugly? Oops, my standards are just high, I guess. Scene is not cool anymor

The Missing Man found my happiness.

Hello my dear petals! How have you been? It's been a while since I last posted something, but nothing much happened with that creep from the previous post and I gave my instagram to my co worker, I just hope she doesn't get to my blog. On another news, I got an abscess. Went to the dentist and she drained it. Now I'm on medication and really don't feel like working because I keep being sleepy and drowsy all the time. Gosh I miss Soul Eater so much. I've also been working with my best friend. She needed my help to translate something. Which I wasn't aware that I recall so many things in Finnish. I wonder why I haven't been studying it in the past. Mä rakastan Suomi paljon! On the badder side of things, Tumblr has now decided that artists can't express themselves if it contains not safe for work stuff. It'll be flagged, and you'll lose the things you've fought for. You might think "why does it affect you?" Which I&
