Retro Cartoons

Remember the intro's to the old cartoons? they were so hot... I mean till this day I still randomly breakout into these songs!!!  

Arctic Monkey's Covers!!!

I love going on youtube and finding covers of songs that I like, but its rare that i came across a cover that i like more than the actual song. These two videos made me like those songs even more though.

Black Swan

I know I'm kinda late on this, but Black Swan was the best psychological thriller I have seen all year. Natalie Portman does a great job in her portrayal  of a meek and naive ballerina. Plus the Lesbian scene between her and Mila Kunis makes it all worth my $12.50.

Top 10: Zombie Movies

Anyone that knows me well knows that I love horror movies; But if i had to choose a certain type of horror movie I would definitely choose zombie movies. There is just something about the hopelessness of it all. As well as the the emotional and physical the characters must summon to kill zombies in the from of their family and friends.

#10- Dead Air

This movie takes place in a radio station during a zombie take over. the main character is smart mouth disc jockey. Although the movie is low budget and the story line is a bit ify, the movie is still a great watch and the story moves at a good pace.

#9- Zombieland

This horror comedy is hilariously scary. Zombieland show how resilient humans are. No matter what happens in the world the same thing thats we find important will always be important. Two of which being sex and entertainment.

#8- Quarantine

I may be the only one in this boat but i love mocumentaries. This movie invokes feelings of claustrophobia and does a great job to keep you on your toes.

#7-Resident Evil

This video Game based zombie action movie is perfectly blended. This first installment is definitely the best of the series.

#6- Diary Of The Dead

Another mocumentary, Diary Of The Dead show how Zombie Can effect all aspects of our life. director George A. Romero often uses his zombie movies as satirical statement on politics and this movie is no different.

#5- Pet Sematary

This 1980'S film takes a different spin on the zombie movie.

instead of hoards of zombies this movie had just two a dog and a toddler. As innocent as it sounds this was the set up for the most disturbing zombie ever put on film, and Left the phrase "Sometimes dead is better" stuck in your head.

#4- The signal

The Signal shows snippets of the lives of a group of people just after they have been exposed to a radio signal that makes people violently insane.

#3- Dawn Of The Dead

this remake of a classic is down beautifully and has one of the weirdest most heart wrenching scene with a pregnant zombie

#2- The Crazies

This movie poses the question who will you kill to survive and the answer it gives is everyone.

#1- 28 days Later

I love this Movie I have watched it multiple time and I'm still not tired of it. This one stands out Because these zombies are ruthless and quick. They are not like the zombies of yesteryear if you get caught slipping your life is gone.

(I know that a couple of the entries aren't technically zombie movies but they include the same elements that zombie movies include so i'll classify them as such.)

Peace and Love,

True Blood

Season 3 of "True Blood" comes to an end in a couple of days and it feels bitter sweet. Bitter because now that this season is finished we all have to wait almost a year for another season. Sweet because all the major issues that took place throughout the season are going to be resolved soon (Finally). I love a good resolution.

P.S. Im already hearing rumors of witches in the new season. I believe It though because that new waitress did say she is a Wiccan. (I don't know but something about her don't sit right with me)

Peace and Love,

What The Sole Craves #8

Folks I'm back with more things that reside on the edge. Did you all miss me??? not at all right?well that's okay cause I'm back anyway.

Its about that time of year where the days get shorter, the nights get colder, and the fashion gets hotter. Fall Fashion is no easy thing to pull off, but with the right foundation you can be one step closer to perfection.

The hipster in me knows that I can never go wrong with a great pair of Vans. The right pair can be worn with almost any outfit and deliver that cool laid back look.

The grunge side of me knows that the right pair of boots will get you through the autumn weather with style and edge. The Amongst Friends boots featured above are a perfect example of this.

My preppy side knows that deck/boat shoes are a necessary staple in any fashion enthusiasts closet. The picture above is of a pair of Zara deck shoes. These will definitely take you to any event with a uniquely different look from the run of the mill Sperry's and Sebago's

Peace And Love,

Alejandro

The Gaga is back with another crazy, weird, freakshow of a video (you know the type of videos us little monsters love). I don't know what the vid has to do with the song but hey it's Lady Gaga so it doesn't has to make sense. Two things i must say though the first being the Madonna references in the video are cool and modern. The second being i know I'm not the only one that caught the blatant emasculation of the men in the video. I guess men can be objectified too.

Like OMG Baby

I don't know how many of you guys know about DJ Earworm, but if you don't let me put you on. The guy specializes in mash-ups (you know like on Glee when the combine songs). Well DJ Earworm combines multiple songs and makes one cohesive track. His most recent song is Like OMG Baby. This song is a mash up of the Popular summer songs. It features songs such as Rude Boy by Rihanna, OMG by Usher, Baby by Justin Beiber, Tik Tok by Ke$ha, And In My Head by Jason Derulo

Something For The Sun

These shades a Mason Martin Margiela. I love the tortoise shell half frames. They look so futuristic and out the box. I would love to just hold these.

These Carrera sunglasses are perfect for a summer day on the beach. the shape of the frames and color of the lens are immaculate.

These Raybans are on my must get list. When I get these I will be wearing them every chance I get. The color combo is so simple but make for a sick glasses.

I tried to beat my addiction but i back to feeding my cravings. These Taka Hayashi X Vans sneakers had me falling back into my old habits. The earth tones and the tribal patterns make it perfect for a day that you don't feel like getting dressed, because if you throw on these with a regular outfit they will make you stand out.

These desert boot like sneakers are just what i have been searching for. They are perfect for the spring time. The Two top pair are Pointer while the bottom is Ipath. These sneaker can be dressed up and dressed down and still look perfect for the occasion.

Gaga's Turn...

So, I just have to talk about Gaga's newest contribution t the music world..."Telephone" feat. Beyonce "Honey B". Shall we....

So the video premired last night and I have two words....A-MAZING!!! The entire concept frm start to finish and the skits in between were genius!! I love how she played the whole "Gaga has a penis" thing into the video (also my bloggin bff, talks about her cover shoot in a previous post).

Her outfits were smokin...Literally... check her sunglasses in the prison yard!!!! Homegirl probably caught secondhand smoke just from kissin her!! And did she do a jig when she left the prison, hahaha!!

Love the caution tape scene with her head doin some exorcist type things...and the recipe for poison...hahaha

There's no ending to how much I can say about this video...but if you have yet t see it, I'll let you throw your opinion out there!!

"Once you kill a cow, you gotta make a burger"

"Trust is like a mirror, you can fix it if its broke but you can still see the crack in that muther!@#*&'s reflection"

Live for today, not tomorrow....

Oscar's Anyone???

Lots of love to you bloggers...I know Im a bit late but lets chit chat....

Ok so I dont know how many of you guys caught the Oscar's this past Sunday but I did and can I just say GA HEAD MO'NIQUE!!!! I am so proud of her and was praying for her to win cause she did her thing in Preacious!



I must admit that was the only I reason I watched the show, because I wanted to see how many awards Preacious would have walked away with. Although it was one, and in my opinion they deserved another, I was extremely proud of the one they did get.

As for a Kathryn Bigalow winning the award for best director of a film, GA HEAD GIRL!! Again I am so proud. I haven't seen the movie but surely am honored to be a woman right now.


Remember tomorrows are never promised...

Throw It In The Chapman

For A while I have been Thinking of Getting a Messenger or Duffle bag, but i couldn't figure what type I wanted. Recently I came across these John Chapman bags and I could not help but become instantly enamored with the bags. The colors as well as the leather and canvas mixture makes these bags very appealing. The bags encompass luxury and just the right amount of casualness.
