Mad Men
You know how some people are very tv savvy and can binge watch a whole tv series in a minimum of 9 days? Well that is not me. I'm not really big on tv, in fact, I rarely sit my ass down and watch it. During this spring semester in college, I would come in to class about 2 hours early. My first class would start at 8:45 am, so I'd be at school by 6:45 am. Reasons to which I will later explain thoroughly in another post. In those two hours, I would sit outside my class in some chairs and watch tv series, which I will also discuss later on. One of the shows that I picked up turned out to be Mad Men. I was done watching all other shows, and I was looking for something new. Mad Men was in the "suggest for you" area on Netflix, so I said, "Why not?" Let me tell you, I did not know what to expect at all. I had NO IDEA what it was about before watching the first episode, and all I got out of that episode was that there is a large amount of smoking, and Don Draper was an advertising genius. 
Don Draper. The anti-hero. My love/hate relationship with this character is such a conflict for me. During the beginning of every season, I would hate him more than anyone could hate another individual. The cheating, the lying, it was all too much for me to oversee. My emotions went flailing with him. Then by the last 3 episodes, I would feel so sad for him, and I would root for him, and I would just love the hell out of him if I could be there. I am not kidding when I say that this happened EVERY SINGLE SEASON. Don gave me so many trust issues, and that is because he is just a character. 
I fell in love with this series without even trying. I grew so attached to all the characters in their own manner and personality. I would root for a lot of them, and hate very few. Like Stan Rizzo for example. I thought he was a pig in the beginning and now I just think he is so groovy. Peggy was my favorite, until she just lost her marbles. Joan is so strong, I admire her. Just so many great personalities that make this show so great, grabbing at the edge of your couch, just loving every moment even though sometimes I had no idea what was going on. This show is not for everyone to be honest. Majority of people are looking for shows that will entertain them, but to me, this show has taught me a lot of great deals for my life and my future. It was very educational in terms of the real world. No fantasies, (except for the ones where I end up with Don Draper lol), This show is exceptional for those who can grasp it.

We Are Who We Are A masterpiece from Luca Guadanino BECAUSE MY HEART IS BREAKING. AT THE FACT THAT NOT MANY PEOPLE ARE WATCHING. That's alright, I didn't watch Euphoria so I guess we are even? I hear it's a similar concept except the ones in this program have no real issues that can justify. At least Fraser. Who happens to be my favorite. Who happens to be the one I relate to. Why am I so OBSESSED? Maybe because all I can remember from my time in Italy is being constantly drunk. Wine, Tequila, Limoncello, and Prosecco. Venezia, to be precise. Is it because the soundtrack resonates with my long walks to nowhere. Eating shit, beating heart. Walking along those canals and running towards buses. Camping ground fun. Not to mention, the beginning of the heartbreaks. Merletto Veneziano, biliardo, baciato dal sole.  Because maybe inside I am unlikeable. Broken, but putting my strong fronts. Maybe I don't want to be liked either. Yet people persist...  I can't stand how much

10 Things I learned from watching RuPaul's Drag Race

As some of you may know, I am deeply obsessed with RuPaul's Drag Race. With Season 8 and the 100th episode airing today, I've decided to express my emotions through a FABULOUS AND SICKENING LIST! Here is what this show has done for me. 10. Believe in Your Craft; WORK IT OUT! Sometimes, we wish we could pull off things we don't think we are good at. But hey, no one has to know what a wreck you are. COMMIT TO YOUR LOOK. Commit to your talent, and commit to yourself. Once you do, no one can come for you baby. You've got this in the bag. Unless you cause a total car crash and piss off Mama Ru. 9. You're more than just a pretty face Although to be a successful drag queen one must master the art of giving GOOD FACE, Mama Ru has taught me that it takes more than just FACE to be a drag superstar. While looking for Charisma, Uniqueness, Nerve, and Talent, you have to remember that even though you may not be good at something, if you apply the Force of th

song is on my mind

 Cool For The Summer - Demi Lovato Boy does this song bring me major, major, nostalgia of my time in Europe. At the time, I believe Season 9 of RPDR was on, and Shea Coulee had to LS4YL to this song. I was pretty entranced by the beat, quite familiar with the lyrics as well. This song got me through that bus ride to "Eastern Europe" (its actually central, as most Eastern countries are predominantly Slavic, for the ultimate eastern feel.) We had just left Italy, and were on our way to Austria. However, during our time in Italy, we had a Vatican City tour in Rome. Prior to arriving, our trip leader had a fun confession game, which had us all write down 3 confessions that he would say out-loud to the entire group. I consider myself a horrible liar. This is why I have always preferred living truthfully and honestly. I couldn't lie on that piece of paper, not even to save my already burned and charred reputation of the fucking weirdo of the trip. I wrote them down as I felt,
