Acidic fucking thoughts.

.. okay so maybe I do.. but I’m so much of a lazy sack of crap that I procrastinate. Plus my writing mindset is inactive right now in anything that’s not school-related. I don’t know how to turn it back on I really don’t. 

But I came here to blog.. so I shall blog. 

• Elections: Today was election day, and Obama won. To my surprise, the vote came out pretty close because at some point Romney was winning and I wasn’t expecting that. But I live in California, and its mostly Democratic. Honestly, I’m not too keen on politics, but as you get older you start to realize how important voting and politics are. And it bugs me when  I hear people my age say “Oh I don’t care about politics, I can’t even vote anyways.” Well, you’ll actually be able to vote in the next election so at least you’ll be able to have a valid reason to complain about the government. And speaking of…  I actually will be able to vote in the next election. 
• Indian Summer: The weather in San Francisco/ the cities near it have really weird summers/winters, we get foggy, cold weather in the summer, and sunny days in autumn and a bit of winter until it turns cold. 
• Winter bliss: I love winter. My most favorite thing ever about winter is the peppermint hot chocolate. (I love anything Peppermint!) And alongside that would be going to Union Square in San Francisco in December because that feels like bliss. Literally. I love being in the city, and being there.. seeing the giant Christmas tree, the decorations, the wonderful shopping, the peppermint hot chocolate, it all makes me smile. Now if only I could go with my boyfriend and my friends.. now that would be a good day. :) 

Even though this movie came out in 2010, I’ve just recently learned about Allen Ginsberg and I wanted to learn more about the beat generation and what has become of it. 

Let me give you a little background info about Howl. Howl was a poem written by Allen Ginsberg in 1955. Written during the beat generation, and first preformed in San Francisco, 1955. The poem, which is split into 3 parts puts together scenes, sights and metaphorically speaking paints a picture about experiences and people Ginsberg encountered in his life. This poem was also considered obscene due to its language, and talk about drugs, sex, homosexuality and etc, since freedom of speech wasn’t as celebrated as it is now. And a court trial was later in session for such, though Ginsberg won. 

Here’s the poem.. 

The movie stars James Franco playing the lead role as Allen Ginsberg (And may I say he’s pretty attractive playing this role), and in my opinion he does a pretty great job of portraying Allen Ginsberg. Though the court trial was a bit ‘ehh’ for lack of a better word.. I still enjoyed this movie and it gave me a better understanding of the poem, the beat generation, and it inspired me work on being a better writer.

Not to mention that I love this picture and this scene! Allen Ginsberg and his partner Peter in the movie: 

(Credits for these pictures, the movie, and the poem. All of which I obviously do not own and I thought It would be wise to mention so I don’t get sewed or something..)

I figured that I should be less anonymous on this writing blog I have..  Because I’m sure that most of my followers have no even seen my face nor know anything about me.

So here’s my face: 

Anyways, up to the updates of this whole shindig.. 

So basically I feel like I’ve spent way too much time on the computer.. But hell, isn’t that a normal thing for teenagers nowadays? I’ve also spent a ton of time watching independent movies and old childhood shows on Netflix. 

 My boyfriend has ‘my itouch’ since I forgot it with him (and I have no idea when I’m going to get it back because its been almost a week..) So he’s spending his time hacking all of my accounts, and camera whoring for the hell of it. And he seems like he’s enjoying it a lot.. Oh dear god.

I really need to go find myself something productive to do in the summer.. Seriously, My time is wasting away annd soon enough school is going to start. I need more adventures and what not.. And then get my film cameras and go on a photographic hipster-like adventure, possibly with my boyfriend even though he shares no knowledge and maybe interest in that whatsoever. (But I’d take him along anyways.)  

An adventure to find myself some good books, writing pieces and great art (street art especially) in San Francisco would be wonderful too. 

Well I can dream, right? 

Anyways, Here’s the article, entitled;

San Francisco: an idiosyncratic guide for the goth-geek-freak-hipster-nerd

http://obsidianrook.com/web/sanfrancisco_latest.html

Okay, so at first notice this article is long… long long long.. And I know many people are far too lazy to even look at articles that are this long. But fear not, It’s jampacked with info about great hot spots in San Francisco, things to do, the scene and atmosphere, and etc.

Also it’s very accurate considering it was written in 2008 and it’s 2012 now. 

Oh, and you may find this article pointless if don’t live near the San Francisco, Oakland, Berkeley region, nor if you have no desire whatsoever to visit any of these places.
