Hello's and Hippy Vans

Hello everyone! First off I would like to welcome my new follower! I hope you enjoy my random rattlings!

Next I would like to confess something that not many people may know about me.  I love old hippy vans.  That's right I absolutely adore little painted up vans from generations past. I think they are adorable and add a bit of spice to any parking lot! I don't even care if they are true hippy vans, as long as they have beautiful, interesting art work on them. What reminded me of my love was this van in the parking lot of my school.  I don't know who it belongs to but it brought a smile to my face.

"Freedom is just another word for nothing left to lose"

Now onward to more artistic vans! *Images found on google*



Jack Skellington? I want!

This is not hippy at all but its EPIC!

ZOMBIES!

Now, don't you just want to get one and drive it around town? Ok maybe thats just me :)

You're Just a Daydream Away

This November I will be doing something I never thought I'd get the chance to do.  I get to see one of my favorite bands, All Time Low.  As silly as it sounds, I've been there from the beginning.  And they've been there for me.  When my so called friends abandoned me and I was, for the first time in my life, absolutely alone, Break Out! Break Out! reminded me that someday I would get to leave that messed up town.  Stay Awake (dreams only last for a night) convinced me that I could live my dream, whatever it may be, despite what other people may say or think. And when I messed up, when I felt like I'd made my biggest mistakes, Weightless helped me realize that I may have lost the battle, but I hadn't lost the war. Now that I'm in college, Guts helped me realize that I'm brave enough to do and say damn near anything.
Those boys and their music made me feel excepted, made me laugh, made me dance, and even brought me closer to a friend or two. Some think they've changed now that they're on a larger label, and maybe they have. Personally? I'm proud. I will always be here cheering them on. And in November, I will be standing in the crowd dancing and screaming along to everyword.

Never Gone (so don't forget me)

I'm back! Well I was never really gone. Just very busy. I'm still adjusting to my new schedule and trying to find some free time. I'll get better at this soon! I feel like I've only posted music run downs lately and should probably do something else. However, I'm about to do another music post, so hopefully you guys enjoy them!

On a randomly unrelated note, ever wish you had a three pocket folder? Well, as my friend and I just discovered, THEY EXIST!!! And my friend was lovely enough to pick up a few for me when she got hers.

Ours are fancier than these. *nerd moment*

Thanks for sticking with me everyone!

I don't care if I'm a Guilty Pleasure for You

Pop, Rap, County. They exist, these genres. They are blared from radio stations 24/7. Some of us say we are far to "Rock 'n' Roll" for such silly nonscense. We flip the bird to the mainstream. But when we are alone, driving in our cars, running on the treadmill, we do the unthinkable. We listen to this music. We play it loud, cranking the bass like its going out of style. But we will no longer hide in the shadows. It is time to reveal the truth.

Welcome to the Secret Playlist.

Katy Perry

B.O.B
It was just a dream
Just a moment ago
I was up so high
Looking down at the sky
Don't Let Me Fall

Ke$ha

Mirand Lambert

Lil' Jon

Nickelback
Say what you will, I still like this group.
If everyone cared and nobody cried
If everyone loved and nobody lied
If everyone shared and swallowed their pride
Then we'd see the day when nobody died

And lastly, voted "Mostly Likely to Get You Slapped by Anyone Over the Age of 12"

Avril Lavigne
I grew up in the 90's! It was inevitable!

Now don't we all feel better?  Its out in the open. Its there. It doesn't change who I am. Anyone else agree? :)

Wonderful Suprise

Hello lovelies! It's been far too long since I've last gave you an update so lets get started! As you may know, this was my first week of college. It started off a bit bumpy, what with me being insanely nervous and having the normal first day of school jitters. However, after I got to class and met my teachers and classmates, I felt alot better. This semester I'm taking Comp 1 (english), Computure applications, Intro to Sociology, and Intro to Psychology. My teachers are great and I'm really enjoying meeting new people. (To the guy in my computer class, your fedora and sarcasm makes me smile) When you live in a small town your entire life, you get used to seeing the same people day in and day out. Now I get to see the people I've known since 4th grade and make a few new friends. Now, enough about me! Let's talk music!

It seems like my first real band review is going over fairly well, which is amazing! I'm in the research phase of my next review, so stay tuned for that! After this post, I'll probably compile a band round up for you. My neverending list of bands actually seems to be dwindling, so if you got a band recommendation, drop me a comment! I'm even thinking about doing a "Skeletons in the Closet" post about some of the cheesey, silly, pop music I listen to (you do it too! Yes, you sir, in the back! I know you listen to Ke$ha!)

Well, that's all of my ramblings for the time being! Hope everyone has a fantastic day!

Peace, Love, Music<3

College and such

Just started my first day of college! It went really well. I like my teachers so far, which is great. I meet my next two teachers tomorrow, which I am both nervous and excited for as usual. Luckily I have Hailey in at least one class a day so I don't feel alone. I am really busy trying to get all my stuff together and ready to go, so I don't have a real post going right now, but I will return with things that shall blow your mind! Prepare yourselves! :)

Motionless In White Review/ Bio

Motionless In White



This Pennsylvanian metal core band was formed in 2005 with an original lineup of Chris Cerulli- vocals, TJ Bell- guitarist/ vocalist, Ryan Sitkowski- guitarist, Frank Polumbo-bassist, and Angelo Parente- Drums. The name of the band comes from the song “Motionless in White” by Eighteen Visions.

In 2007, the bands hard work and dedication scored them a deal with Masquerade Recordings. Their debut EP “The Whorror” was released later that fall.

While working a three week spot in Warped Tour 2008, MIW caught the attention of many major record labels as well as Shawn Mike, vocalist of Alesana. The band accepted management to The Artery Foundation. In December of 2008, the band was signed with Fearless Records.

In February of 2009, the band released their second EP, “When Love Met Destruction”. Shortly after the release, bassist Frank Polumbo left the band for reasons unkown. The band then added Ricky Olson as their permanent bass player in October of 2009.

 

On October 12, 2009 the band released their debut full length album “Creatures”. (Interesting fact? The band used all fan submitted lyrics - except for the chorus - on the title track of this album.)

 

In May of 2011, rhythm guitarist TJ Bell left the band. Later, Ricky Olson switched from playing bass to rhythm guitar. The band now has a fill in bassist, Devin Sola, but it is unclear if he will become a permanent member.

On July 7, 2011 the band released their music video/ short film for the song Creatures. The release was followed by a live Ustream session. The video is very eerie as it delves into the human psyche, showing that there is a secret, often darker, side to everyone no matter how they look. It was gritty instead of overproduced, which seem to add to the videos success.

 

The band is currently on the All Star Tour with the bands Emmure, Alesana, iwrestledabearonce, blessthefall, For Today, In This Moment, Born Of Osiris (I love, love, love them), The Ghost Inside, After The Burial, Attila, For All Those Sleeping, Memphis May Fire, Chelsea Grin, and Sleeping With Sirens.

 

MIW is known for its insane stage presence and unique sound.Overall, the band supports the important message of being yourself and not giving a f*ck what other people think. Their fan base has become very strong and call themselves “Creatures”.

If you like the Misfits, Cradle of Filth, The Black Dahlia Murder, or Eighteen Visions, you should definitely check out Motionless in White.

Yes, I am a Creature. No, I haven't seen them live *shakes head sadly*, although I would love to.

*So, what do you think of my first band review? I want brutal honesty! (Ok, not brutal. How about creative critiquing?) Anything you would like to see/ not like to see in the next review? Are there any bands I should check out?
