Yeah, it's time for one of them sharing posts again... :-) Next post is going to be about Midsummer. ;-) And after that I have some serious issues I need to get down in words. But first! Strap in and lets go!
As you might remember I visited the swedish festival Sweden Rock! And it was amazing. I went there to see Mötley Crüe. And even though they got really bad criticism for their performance, I really liked it. It was amazing!
Sorry about the quality. I just wanted to share that to me was an AMAZING night! I know they aren’t perfect, but they’re good at catching the audience, and it was amazing to see them live, it really was.
And onwards!
Not that long ago, I discovered this, which I found really interesting. You’re short on money? You need a computer? I give you Chip, a computer you can get for 9$. I admit, I’m curious. It’s not that much money, so maybe I should get one? To have as backup? I bet![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
peting73, who is a serious computer geek, would find it really cool to have and poke around with as well. Decisions decisions…
Chip 9$ Computer - Kickstarter
They’ve reached their goal and some, so it’s ready and available to order… *considers*
Next subject!
I kinda lovesteinsgrrl for sharing this with me. I keep reading all the comments and stories shared on this Reddit page, and it’s SO FREEING, my female friends! My vagina is not abnormal or strange in anyway! There are vaginas that are stranger than mine! NOTHING IS ABNORMAL! X-D Also, guys. You should read this. Just to see what we’re going through on an everyday basis. ;-)
Reddit: Girls and their vaginas
YouTube is a strange and wonderful place… You dip your toe in and you never know where you end up. Here’s some various stuff I’ve found on YouTube or that are connected to YouTube in one way or another.
This short just about broke my heart. The ending especially when you REALLY get what the little short is about… Bring your tissues, folks!
There’s a swedish guy from refugee parents who live in Sweden and he’s… blunt would be to kind a word. But he has some really interesting views on Sweden and our culture, our politics, our social safety net, our immigrants and refugees… Pretty much hot the climate is in Sweden (and I’m not talking about the weather). Not all his vids are in swedish, although most are. Those that are, like this one, has subtitles. And I’ve checked, their good and has the correct translation.
Here’s an article with an added trailer on YouTube about how it is to come out of the closet as a MtF transgender when you’re quite young. This girl did so on YouTube and found a supportive community there. And a movie-maker saw her and she got a role in a movie that tells the story how it is to be a transgender MtF girl. Of course there’s more to it than that, it’s a good article, but it ends with a role in a movie for her. The trailer is in the article, and I will admit I am very curious at the movie, Boy Meets Girl! It looks really good!
Boy Meets Girl - Movie and the story
Right and change of subject again! You still with me? You’re doing good! *lol*
If you read my posts you know I absolutly HATE Fifty Shades of Grey. I hate Twilight to, but that’s nothing compared to how much I hate Fifty Shades of Grey. And I’ve READ THEM! ALL THREE!!!
Anyway, here’s some articles and vids that I hope will make you think twice about reading them…
Unless you’ve lived under a rock, you’d know there’s abuse in these books.
Here’s an article that, like so many others, points out where and how the abuse shows itself in the books:
There Are NO Grey Areas When Defending Abuse
And yes, she’s rewriting her books from Grey’s perspective… yeah… *cough* Here’s The Guardian’s reaction to that:
Fifty Shades of 'nope': we don't need a reboot from the man's perspective
Now to two vids. It’s both terrifying and interesting to see these. The movie comes with it’s own set of concerns and weirdness. Everything wrong, obviously shows everything wrong with 50 Shades. Abuse and all.
But what I really liked was the Film Theory. Where they compare Christian Grey to the leader of a cult. How Grey follows the same steps pretty much. Now that was terrifying. And girls WANT a man like this? WTF?
And to end this LOOOONG post, let’s have some feel good after that, yeah?
These two vids I am watching when I need a pick me up after a long or bad day. :-) They never fail to make me smile! I hope they will do the same to you.
Britians got talent just never fail to deliver. *grins* There’s more vids with these old guys, btw. They made it all the way to the finals!
Old men grooving on YouTube
And lastly I stumbled on THIS article about a son that made a special personal ad for his mom… REALLY special!
And that’s it! Having finished that (finally!), I will now go do something useful... ;-)

Date: 2015-07-30 11:41 pm (UTC)And I will admit that Mötley Crüe was a bit stiff in the beginning, but I don't think they deserved THAT bad reviews, you know? I thought they were good!
And them complaining people, yeah.... SO annoying! :-/
