Welcome to my wonderland. This is my blog - a place to rant, rave, and roll about anything and everything. Please, no spamming. No cursing. No flaming. I'm entitled to my own opinion, and if you don't like it, press the red [x] to exit.

..while I may be a happy-go-lucky person at times, I am a big dreamer. I love Japanese things, especially the Gothic and Punk stuff..and Ayumi Hamasaki. I also love Anna Sui-ish graphic art. I enjoy singing, composing, drawing, doodling, surfing the net, watching TV, reading, designing clothes, and sleeping. I try my best not to judge people, but I do have the tendency to be snobbish or stupid at times, but I'm not perfect - nor is anyone else. I believe that all people are born with talent, and that everyone is unique. And if you have a problem with that, then get out.

Saturday, October 25, 2008 ugh.

When you're a girl like me who dreams of being a singer/superstar/composer, having a dad who's a musician could be a great thing.

Not always, though.

It's like, people expect me to be as great as my dad. (I'll talk about that in my next blog entry.) Or to at least know what's great from what isn't. What they don't understand is that we have very different standards.

For example, I honestly don't understand my dad's - or his students' - music. To me, it sounds like a bunch of random notes packaged with a title, and it doesn't make any sense to me. I just don't get it. I don't think it's bad, but it just doesn't register in my head. Get it?

My taste in music is..well, it leans more over to the Ayumi Hamasaki side, although I don't like all of her songs - but most of them. I like pretty much anything catchy, or powerful, or, you know..something that doesn't sound like a plain old tune. I don't care if it's Japanese or not(although majority of it is Jpop). I actually sort of enjoy Britney Spears' old music, or even the Spice Girls during the Spice World era! Then again, songs Ayumi Hamasaki's "Step You" and Crystal Kay's "Kirakuni" really stand out for me. I dunno, they don't just sound plain. They sound amazing, in my opinion. But for my dad and his fellow composers, pretty much any pop song is crap.

And when my dad met the composers after his lecture thingy, they asked what music I liked, so I told them I liked JPop - Ayumi, and all those people, and they were like, "Oh." A disappointed "oh". To them, only Jazz and contemporary music makes sense. And they started talking about Christina Aguilera and Britney's "crap" music, how it's "fooling the youth", yada yada yada.

People all have different tastes. That's a fact. I don't think any ONE person can state which is good or bad as a fact. We all have different tastes. We have different opinions of which is good or bad. And you know what? I like how my tastes are. And I don't really care about what other people like(in a good way!). I have my own opinions, but I respect their tastes.

If only they could respect mine.

the post just doesn't sound right..I'll edit it when I feel like it..which is not now.
