Axl Rose Has Found A Way To Make Me Sad (Never thought I'd say that) :(

I never thought I'd say this but DAMN do I feel like a teenager. I searched Axl Rose on google and searched under the "news" catagory and my heart, I swear was gonna beat right out of my chest when I read "Guns N' Roses First US Tour In 5 Years!" I was soooooooooo happy to say the least, since all of my concert plans for the summer fell through (but the reasons where understandable, long stories too) but anyway I'm still a concert virgin and since I missed Motley and the Foo Fighters I thought damn I can kick shit off right! WRONG. This US tour is only like 13 citys and PA is not included :( The closest city they will be in is New Jersey and if I can't get a ride to Pittsburg their is no way in hell I'll get to NJ. Not even to see Axl. But as much as I hate it, I understand he's older, and doesn't even NEED to tour anymore, since GNR is ummm...infamous to say the least. ;) BUT on a side note I'm sooooooooooooooooooo tired (see how many O's ????) of hearing people piss and moan about the original GNR. Don't you get me wrong, I'd LOVE to see Axl Rose, Slash, Izzy Stradlin, Duff Mckagan, and Steven Adler rockin stadiums again but I mean Axl says it won't happen and what he wants tends to be what he gets. But I do kind of agree with the masses in saying he shouldn't call the new band Guns N' Roses since he's the only original member left, and I'm not saying the new band members are not talented because they damn sure are! But anyway I mean if we are going by numbers Duff Mckagan and Slash just should have called Velvet Revolver GNR because well 2 out of 5 originals are their... but I really don't care what they call anything, as long as they are still rockin! But seriously I can't believe how sad I am over Axl not coming to PA :( it's sooo stupid but I mean (and you guys know) I love me some GNR!
 Is Axl Rose (and GNR) coming to your city!? Why do I keep separating Axl and GNR? How many stupid questions will I ask you? Is this sounding like a soap opera yet....? :)


Ugh,
Well Good Nite, much peace and love (oh yeah and I'm shamelessly gonna bring the west memphis 3 into this again CONGRATS!!!) (Can you see how freakishly I was into this case?) WHEN WILL I STOP ASKING QUESTIONS!? :) hehehehe okay goodnite.

The Three Are FREE!

What do you think??? Better yet do you know what I'm talking about?!?! But this VERY happy post (for me at least) The West Memphis Three have probably been free for a week now (sorry I'm late) but I knew since it happened but I've felt pretty crappy lately so I didn't get on to post. Anyway back to them. Three teens about 18 years ago (Damien Echols was 18, Jason Baldwin, 16 and Jessie Misskelly Jr. was 17) got screwed by the justice system because they were basically hell raisers and rockers. I'm going to be 16 on October 6th so hearing their story actually scares me because in my head it was kinda like I could be them. I'm a publically giant rocker, everyone who knows me also knows my infamous Nirvana t-shirt ;) (I've literally worn that poor thing out!) But I think I look great in it (holes and all) and at school (before I left for online school) a teacher actually told me that shirt was just "so me". That makes me a little too happy haha ;) hehehehe but anyway these boys/men/teens (you know what stage they were in lol) got finger pointed at them and shoved down their throats. They've been raped by the system as far as I'm concerned. But theirs more tragedy yet to be heard, three little 8 year old boys were murdered in such a terrible manor that they blamed it on like a satanic cult ritual thing you could say...but heres the kicker...their was NOTHING and I mean NOTHING at the crime scene that pointed to them, no DNA no nothing. In fact the DNA supposedly points to someone else, I've heard it's one of the poor kiddos step fathers but trust me I'm not sure so don't hold me to anything, because he may be innocent too, you know what I like to say? Innocent until framed, well or guilty until framed... Oh and thats not all. I don't think that the state will admit to their mistakes because I guess (I've just read this somewhere...I don't remember where) but they set up some situation where these three men can not sue the state for all those wasted years behind bars, so in my opinion thats just like kicking dirt in their faces. They maybe alright with it (damn, they just wanted freedom) but what really pisses me off (that I just learnt today) was that Damien has a son, whos about my age and think of all the lost time with out his dad that he got screwed out of and Damien as well, he didn't get to watch his son grow up, I just think this whole case is a tragedy. BUT I'm just soooooooooo happy that these men got out of prison and are now FREE!!!!!!! So congrats DAHlings! (yes I call everyone that)

I'm gonna end this post with some lyrics to think about....  "War Is Peace and Freedom is the Police State" I was listening to this song sang by Anti-Flag (It's called welcome to 1984) and I didn't realize just how true it is... Alright well can I get your input on this long and potentially contoversal post? How about the lyrics? How about the case? Is what the state doing fair? Gahhhhh I'm sooooo happy for them! But on a sadder note I really hope that those three little boys can get some justice...

Much Peace and LOVE,

It's been a while...

since I've been on here :'( Sorry for the lack of postage but like everyone else my school's started up again and I need to get to work! Anywho I'm also really sick :( I have broncitus (sp?) and an ear infection and a blown out ear drum. I swear I just woke up with this overnight! Let me tell you, it really blows. But anyway I'm moving to the basement of my house (and I'll HAVE to show you my new vanity!!!!!!!!!!!!) I got it at a yardsale for $2.50 and all it needed was some tlc :) I painted it black and my uncle reupolstered the chair for me (it's brown fabric with big cute polka dots on it!) So after the paint and fabric I spent about $25 on it. Not too shabby at all! (And it was saved from a landfil!) I will have pics up eventually (Having major problems, blogger tells me the pics are too big? Grrrrrrrrr I don't know how to fix it yet but I will! haha) I went to a fun sweet 16 party like 2 weeks ago and had A LOT of fun! I go to cyber school so it was cool seeing all my old friends :) But I have more crappy news :( I'm gonna really get my exercise on because I've been slacking off big time and I know I gained weight back :( So and now I have gym class so that will help because I log everything and I've just been quite depressed lately (Long story). And I've been a cheating veggie :( So I need to work on that, and I've just notice these past couple weeks I've just been hungry all the time :( I'm a very emotional eater. So that doesn't help much. And just thinking how I'm still behind in school (I went through a longgggg bout of depression and fell very behind all last year...I'm almost done with last year and then I'll start this years classes (yippie...) I've just grown to hate school :( It's a shame I used to kinda like/love it but now I have a hate/love relationship with it. But I think the virtual classes I have for 10th grade really help me kinda get my love for learning back...if thats how I want to word it haha. I have math class at 12 and french at 1. I like cyber school, don't get me wrong but I'm getting REALLY pissed about all my technical dificulties. So far my sound hasn't worked, it wouldn't let me log in AND one of the websites won't let me load a document I had to submit for french class for a free 10 points (that I will more than likely need) so I got screwed out of that pretty well. And you know the worst part? I've probably only had 5 classes this year! Or is it 4? Yeah tommorow it will make 5, and I've already had all these probs!? I only have classes on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday so that parts not too bad but I should have chosen Tuesdays and Thursdays, I mean what idiot wants classes on fridays??? Haha oh boy well as I said I'm sick and feel like hell so I'm gonna get a shower and crawl in bed. :) Goodnight.


Much Peace and Love,
 Ashley

ummmm...can I get some help?

Well I have a problem that everyone has had at least once in their life (if not more). It's very un-glam to be asking you guys this but...how do I get rid of pimples!?!? I get the most painful, huge, gross pimples on my chin (and between my lips and chin, ya know that bend kind of?) and then they leave NASTY marks. I know your not supposed to pop pimples (ugh I feel sooo gross typing this...) but I do anyway because they never go away! :( I wash my face regularly (with biore ice cleanser and sometimes use clean and clear moisterizer) And how do you get rid of the marks? Whats your fave products? What's your facial care reutine? Can you help me anyway? lol I will take ANY suggestions! Thanks!

Much peace and love,

The Starfish Project!

HEY! YOU! yes you! go check out the starfish project as soon as you possibly can! They have super pretty and unique jewelery with a unique story behind it. I don't think these guys get enough press but it is such a good organization that I just think you need to know about it. The people at the starfish project set this up to help abused and extorted women in Asia get out of that life style and provide for them while they get the proper education they need for the careers they desire so they don't fall back into it. They also provide theropy and anything else these women need. I think it's a great thing these people are doing to rehabilitate people who get pushed into the sex/people traficing industry. These people are there to show these women that somebody cares and this is how you can show them you care. So do me a huge favor and at least browse through it because something will catch your eyes! I currently have my eyes set on a nice pair of earrings in the clearence section...lookie here :)

Alrighty dears! Much peace and love,

I have a confession to make...

Although I call myself a hippie...I must say... in my music tastes I am not. Well yeah I listen to The Beatles and The Doors but I mean who doesn't? But with my habits, I guess you could say, I could be considered a hippie. I'm a peace freak, equality nut, animal activist, and I try to be a green guru (it's a work in process, my mom makes fun of me all the time lol she says "you just prefur to use that because it's organic or green or whatever" I love her but sometimes ignorance is a pain in the ass, it's not always "bliss" ;) BUT back to music tastes, which I will admit are kind of strange and I'll be honest... I don't fit in with the hippies (and or stoners...drugs are a no go for me! I can't stand people who call themselves hippies because they smoke pot and buy a peace sign shirt from an odd smelling store... hahaha) and I definatly don't fit in with the goth kids, the emo kids, or the metal heads...I don't have the look and don't really want it...or need it. I don't really feel the need to fit in which I'm thankful for, I mean who doesn't want to fit in, sure I'd LOVE to find like minded people but I don't need a check list for "who I'm supposed to be" to hang out with this person or that crowd... I mean it shouldn't matter if I look like hot topic just ate me and spit me out into the picture perfect emo kid, with the black jeans and the invador zim hoodie and a pickachu back pack. Now not to knock anyone or degrade anyone I mean personally I kind of like the emo goth kid style but I couldn't pull it off myself and I just don't care too, but then again I guess I can't describe myself as fashion crazed either...in all honesty if I like it and it fits I wear it...I don't need 50 different peices of jewelry and this and that to "make an outfit." Fashion wise I guess you could call me a grunger. I LOVE LOVE LOVE grunge music. Kurt Cobain is one of my, if not my top idol (for like years now...) and I adore Eddie Vedder and Pearl Jam is probably my fave band of all time. He's probably half the reason I decided to become vegetarian, and a green nut ect. But I also LOVE 80's hair metal bands as in Guns n' Roses and Motley Crue. But I must say I'd have to pick GNR over motley, I am probably one of Izzy Stradlin's biggest fans! He just seems like such an AWESOME guy and very down to earth too, and of course I think Axl Rose is also amazing :) I like the rest of the band but those two just happen to be my faves. My fave from Motley is their guitarist Mick Mars. I think he's one of the most underrated guitarists of all time! And he seems super down to earth. But anyway onto my more CURRENT music obsessions/ new discoveries is...
 -The Murderdolls- Joey Jordisons side project from Slipknot with Wednesday13 and a few other people (it changes quite often...nothings set in stone I think) but anyway the lyrics on the newer album Women and Children Last and Revenge was the Main Course are little gorey but it's kind or jokey at the same time...I mean it's really not to be taken seriously but the guitar solos are AWESOME! They are hands down my faveorite part of the album. Which leads me to the next music obsession...
 -Acey Slade- He was in the origional line up of the murderdolls and has been in numerous bands since (He now plays bass for Joan Jett!) and he just seems like a really awesome guy. Not to sound like a mom but I think he's a good role model too, not only is he a rockstar BUT he used to do drugs and drink and all the rock star stuff but he's been sober (even from alcohol) for at LEAST 12 years now and even kind of councils recovering drug addicts in his spare time! Talk about an awesome guy!!! -His band that I just got started listening to is called Acey Slade and the Dark Party and I recommend the song Sugarcum, but I have not listened to the whole cd just yet so their maybe better tracks. (if there is it'll be one great album!)
 -Marilyn Manson- I'm not gonna lie so far I've only listened to his super popular songs (The Beautiful People, Sweet Dreams) you got the picture so I can't call myself a diehard fan but I've read like all the interviews I could get my hands on...I have this strange thing where I just want to know about people, who they are, where they're coming from, what they stand for, I'm a music trivia crazy too (from reading tons of interviews lol) but MM leads me to the next obsession.
 -Jeordie White- He's also know as Twiggy in Marilyn Manson, he's the bassist but it's his side project thats  really interesting. It's called Goon Moon and the song I highly recommend is Apple Pie. it's interesting but one thing I've noticed about the cd "Lickers Last Leg" is NO two songs sound a like in ANYWAY, so if you like the song apple pie, it's the only song like it, it's a very unique album for sure. 
 and last but not least is...
 -Glenn Danzig- He was in the Misfits and is in Danzig (and was in another band I just can't think of right now) Danzig is famous for the song "Mother" which I have to say is one of my fave songs of all time, I also love the song "Tired of Being Alive" I've had depression problems and that song is just how I feel sometimes and just listening to that song, I wouldn't say it calms me down but just his voice takes me to another planet I swear. His voice is a combination of Jim Morrison (The Doors), Elvis Presley like and a little bit of Ozzy Osborne but in the Black Sabbath days, mixed with an ornery cry/moan/scream. and his voice is very deep (hence JM and EP) I mean his voice is a treasure you simply have to hear to believe. I mean you may not agree so I'm sorry if I mislead you but I just think it should be like the 8th wonder of the world :D I don't want to waste your money suggesting these songs so if you want to buy them listen to them on youtube first because I like worship this mans voice but you may not feel the same, well even with everything I recommmend I highly recommend you sample it first. (If you buy your music, I know a lot who don't but I do so when I buy a bad song I tend to be a little pissy...)
  Alright well that was LONG so if you didn't jump ship on me thank you for reading my dears and keep rockin'!

 Much Peace and Love,
 Ashley
