The hand that feeds: People are people.

A new beginning calls for a new set of redundant titles.

Don't you think?

We like to describe people as two different kinds of behavior. The "people person" and the "not people" person. Creative i know, i didn't invent it...

When you come to think about a 'people person' what do you think? Someone who always fits in, finds conversation, makes friends at the drop of the dime. I know that is what i think when i hear the phrase.

On the opposite end of the spectrum however, you have the 'not people persons', who by stereotype, are antisocial or very to themselves.

The thing that doesn't make sense to me the evolution of society, that is the true meaning of these titles. The people who adapt, and the people who don't.

We often think of the 'non people person' as someone who is inferior, who just doesn't "get it". When the truth may be the opposite. These past few months i have met people who are not necessarily going to win a popularity contest, but that doesn't matter to them, they were just humble.

I suppose the people i mentioned you could consider "weird" not wearing popular brand clothing or very bizarre hairstyles, but you know, since when was being an individual a bad thing?

In society, there are topics that you obviously can't talk about freely, one of which is sex, or weight or anything "uncomfortable". Because this is society, we are plastic we don't talk about our flaws, our differences. Right? Right?

Society is a mold, an ever changing one. The people person may be willing to always adapt, make friends, be "popular". But there is more to it then that.

Those people i mentioned before? Individuals? They just don't care. Really don't. There is a sense of freedom of being yourself. They may not be socially accepted, but that doesn't bother them. You may call these people freaks, but why? They have the balls to be themselves.

I suppose this is a rant of sorts, and at the same time hopefully an eye opener for people. Things are never as they seem.

Double D me, captain.

I'm back...maybe.

Due to many things happening in life, this blog has been put to wayside for many, many months. Honestly, i love talking about random things, it entertains me. I am not getting the response however that i was hoping for. I tried getting sponsored, that didn't help. I tried putting the link on my Facebook account (which will remain anonymous), i got a lot of views from that, but no real in depth subscribers or followers.

With all that in mind, i don't plan to write on a scheduled basis as i did in the past, unless i get some people tunning into the blog. I will write freely perhaps couple times a day, maybe once a week, i don't know honestly. For those people who had been following me i am ever so grateful and i hope you can help convince me to get this project started again.

Let the good times roll, DD.

Lolwut: Riddle time?

I am used to show admirality, i can be spoken a thousand different ways. I am in no exclusive language, but rarely my currency is accepted willingly. What am i?

Think about it.

Did you come to compliment? When you think about it, it is a complete paradox in itself. When in our development do we inherit such strange behavior with a basic, yet underthought, concept in our society.

If you don't understand what i am refering too, let me explain. When we are raised there are always those concepts of being a 'good' person. Always be modest, do the right thing, never cheat or steal, etc. When you give someone a compliment it conflicts with two of those fundimentals and leads to a general akwardness in a conversation no matter how light the topic.

When you give a compliment, how often do you in return, get a well recieved response? Majority of the time people hate compliments, why? It is a two edged sword that very few choose to be on the other end of. There is the route most take of not accepting them, in turn, leaving an akward window of conversation. Then there are those who embrace it with open arms, which often leaves off an impression of self centeredness.

The complete flux of the concept is that a compliment is NEVER a bad thing, infact, by definition it can't be. No matter how much of a ego-fiend a person may be, a compliment can still make them seem like the modest person in the world.

Maybe this is just me way overthinking things, but it alteast can lead to an investment to your time. Any way you slice it, there are few things one can openly say that causes such a bizzare reaction. Just saying.

Jams you just can't get out of your head: Chevelle.



Orignal, unorothodox, addictive..... all adjectives to describe the next "new" thing in this music industry. Fads change, people develop different tastes in music; and that once new thing, becomes old news. Chevelle was never one of those groups. Chevelle hit thier peak in the early 2000's but that didn't cause them to change thier style.


Sam Loeffler stated, "We have spent a lot of time making these songs something different from past records without losing the core of our passion. We are a hard rock, melodic band and it's still what drives us as musicians." Words spoken too true, the band has that essence to constantly be changing without losing thier core, and still make absolutely mind blowing music.

Thier unique and deep lyrics have a distinct, never rhyming, melody that you can't refuse to appriciate.

If you havn't heard songs by these guys outside the radio, you should check them out.

I'm bored, let's review: Antibodies.

I hope everyone had a good Easter, i know mine went pretty well, lots to eat.
I havn't had a chance to blog this weekend so hopefully i can redeem myself with a movie review.

Without further ado, i present to you my review of Antibodies:




Now, before i get into too much detail, i would like to point out that this movie is in German. There are subtitles avialable, even on Netflix, but if you can't stand subtitles i could totally relate. Luckily, i know some decent German i was able to roughly follow along.


Directed by Christian Alvart (ironicily the protagonist's sons first name). Produced by Theo Baltz and Boris Schonfelder. This German horror film had some unique twists to it, but in general, fell short to break away from any other similiar gore movie.

Getting past the German aspect of this movie, right from the start you start you feel weary as the killer of 14 children gets caught inside his home. I have to admit, at the begining i had a slight mix up of some of the characters as scenes and time periods began rolling in. The acting throughout the movie was pretty bad, there were several instances where the actors would say something or make a facial expression that left you asking, "what the hell?". The most annoying thing has to be there were many things left unanswered towards the end, perphaps the producers were afraid of straying away from the main plot.

On a more positive note, the story line was very interesting, could have used a few more twists, but overly well executed. The scenery was amazing, it could suck you into the movie and made you feel as though you were there. I felt the lines choosen, especially the murder, Gabreal, were well thought out and fitting. Too bad the actors did a terrible job of acting upon them.

What more can i say? The movie hand in hand was very, average. Is it worth the 2 hours? If you can't find something better to do, then probably. If you do so choose to watch the movie, remember:

If you have Netflix or a friend that has it, you can stream this movie instantly and no hassle, as the same with most the movies i review on this blog, there is nothing to lose even if i say it is terrible!

My ratings:

Pro: Solid and consistant story line.

Con: Bad acting/ build up.

My decision: I'll be nice 6/10
