The sexy one to left is Yulan and the other smiling is Yolene


Well after the little note I left below, i hoped that Chad would pick up on the subtle hint to post the pictures, but that didn't happen. But he did email them to Yolene and from there I did my handy-work. Mission Complete.

Siren Festival

So as my sister and I departed from our house to go to the train station, as luck would have it the MTA police ( yes they have police) would block the tracks making up excuses saying that "the barriers are broken" while our train stopped at the station and quietly moved along. It left me upset, heart broken and a bit gassy. We reached by 3:11 then took another hour to get to Coney island. By then as luck would have it once again we missed the Noisettes, some bands played, none that I cared to learn their music or research them further. While waiting to see if M.IA. would grace us with her presence I wondered, did she get her visa, did she even make across the Atlantic Ocean, or is she in a barrel being smuggled into the country. We were at the main stage, and made somewhat of an attempt to find the other stage but that failed and we just retreated. Some random DJ started to hype the crowd playing some music and we all cheered, mostly because we couldn't see the stage. So there we were fitted tightly between those 7 foot giants known as hipsters, while they stood there talking, smoking cigarettes and weed. There were even a few crack heads behind us. Indeed we had the spots of champions. M.IA. is a decent performer, i just wanted to hear boyz, bucky done gone, and galang and I would be irie. I heard those songs, we did the robot, butterfly, and some-other butchered versions of stuff seeing that space was oh so limited. But I left feeling a bit disappointed, I stood there saying to myself, I could've done this with them just playing her songs, but what the heck it was free. And when things are free, you feel happy or maybe its just my cheapness, oh well. We ventured to the boardwalk and Chad and I went to the beach, I rolled up my ever so tight jeans and stood there in the water, it was cold, I couldn't see my feet, and I think I stepped on glass, but when I emerged from the water, my toes were glistening. Chad took some pictures, who knows maybe he'll post them.

Dan Deacon

So there we were on a hot sunday afternoon, waiting patiently for Dan Deacon to get his ass on stage. But when he finally did decide to grace us with his presence it was well worth the wait. In the midst of the mosh pit, i jumped, i flailed my arms and shouted like nobodys business. He almost made me forget there was even a heat wave that day, i kid you not, this fucker was that good, easily one of the better concerts i've been to this year and also, dan deacon doesn'nt seem like a narcissistic asshole...so that's always a plus.I dont have a video of that performance but here's something that will hold you over.

-YULAN [because I'm a nuffisha]

So I was thinking......

While reading a back issue of Paper magazine I noticed an article on Alejandro Jordorowsky, famed filmmaker known for his surreal cult classics like El Topo and The Holy Mountain. Being a youngin' I had no clue who the hell this guy was, so of course I googled him , wikipedia him and all the other stalker accouterments that follow. What I discovered was the worlds best film maker. His most notable film, El Topo is the most poignant film I've ever seen in my young life. El Topo which is Spanish for the mole is a story about self-discovery. The film consists of two parts the first half of the movie shows El Topo travelling through the dessert with his naked son shooting everything in sight. Long story short he eventually finds himself in a cave filled with morbidly disfigured people, who he has the help. The movie is rife with religious allegory, including the last scene when he burns himself at the sight of his"family" being killed. Very reminiscent of Buddhist monks during Vietnam. When I think about how socially, emotionally, and spiritually inspiring this movie is I wonder why it is that I have never heard of it before? Maybe because of fucked up, antiquated mpaa ratings. Until recently this movie could only be seen in legendary midnight screenings, or cheap bootlegs. Which is a shame because in my opinion this movie should be on every ones must see list.

FIRST!!!!!

Welcome to the world of three immigrant Jamaican teenagers. We basically started this blog as a way to share our point of view on the shit that takes places in this crazy world we live in. You can expect social commentary, endless often time nonsensical rants and raves. Let me be the first to introduce you to the gang. First theirs Yolene, the brains of the operation Yulan, her younger albeit wiser sister. Then there is me Chad.....
We have really big plans for this blog, not to become the next Chris Crocker, or even worse Perez Hilton.Fuck that shit were just looking for an outlet so that we can vent our opinions and thoughts and to call out people in powers of authority on then the fucked up things they tend to do. Were all still teenagers trying to find our little niche in this world so bear with us when we fuck up and allow us to grow. Enough with the sentimental bullshit lets get down to what you can come to expect from the bumbofuck times. EVERYTHING!!!!!!! In our regular conversations we touch on everything so we probably will in this blog too, so check back often and see what we can pull out of our asses. PEACE BITCHES!!!!!!!!!
