Everything about it is so carefree. In my opinion, Lana Del Rey's voice screams old, legendary country music. A lot of people knock country music but one thing that is admirable about it is it's dedication to the classics. Her voice is deep and eerie, yet sultry in its own way. I LOVE IT! The song is so simple. I think this is what's best about it. During the year we're mostly running around crazy, caught up in the stresses of life and obligations but there is something about the summertime and heat that slows the pace and gives us a chance to catch our breath. <br />Its about sweet summer love and all of the simple things that go with it. I love the vintage feel of the video. We're a generation that recreates [and often this isn't always a good thing] but Del Rey's rendition of this classic sound is not overdone or underdone. This song makes me anxious for walks by the river, swimming pools, and...well, video games with my love that we usually don't get the time to enjoy during the rest of the year. I'm excited to hear the rest of her album!Mannyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10378105485074869933noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3730873838953361120.post-14009304647446177202012-03-30T11:19:00.004-07:002012-03-30T11:36:57.575-07:00Somebody That I Used to Know - Gotye ft. Kimbra<center><iframe src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/8UVNT4wvIGY" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="390" width="420"></iframe> </center><br />I would have posted this a while ago but since I just got off of hiatus, you must forgive my tardiness. Anywho, this duet of Gotye and Kimbra kind of touches home, and I'm sure I'm not the only one who feels this way. I often find post-relationships so odd. When you're with someone, there are always the typical stages: <span style="color: rgb(255, 102, 102);">the crush</span>,<span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(255, 102, 102);"> <span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);">infatuation</span></span>, <span style="color: rgb(0, 153, 0);">comfort</span>, <span style="color: rgb(153, 153, 0);">annoyances</span>, <span style="color: rgb(255, 102, 0);">Awkwardness</span>, and<span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);font-size:130%;" > the point of no return</span> (o_0 ) [yikes!]. Most of us have experiences a few of these, if not all. I definitely have! If you think about it though, isn't it strange how a stranger can turn into your everything. I'm talking about your every waking moment and your dreams. Some people even change their entire life goals for the convenience of the person that they love. But when that break up happens and time mends things, sometimes you let that person [who was once your everything] fade away.<br /><br />Not to be all sappy. I know some are reading this like <span style="color: rgb(0, 153, 0);">yeah yeah whatevuuuh.</span> But seriously though. If you think back to the people that you have seriously dated in the past and look at how you interact with them now, a lot of times these people end up being strangers again, as they were in the first place. So when this happens, does that mean that time didn't count? Do memories fade too? And it always seems that its harder for one person to move on than the other. Have you ever reconnected with an ex? Call me pessimistic but I definitely have and it is <span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(255, 102, 102);">NEVER </span>the same as it was before.<br /><br />I feel that this song illustrates this awkward reverse of events and brings up a good point that many of us don't even realize.Mannyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10378105485074869933noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3730873838953361120.post-81144510663529067422012-03-30T10:57:00.006-07:002012-03-30T11:14:28.146-07:00Can It Be??<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiPIRXccoAHvpLyvtTWW01Kze3lgWO3KQuWl6cdyljcOXR642iaJgN4SPdGlfxAo-BYH1XKPoSudGrjbyJAIMXl2yqQ2O39qnFhjp1DVD52sz9BVTSCcz5XLsTzyrTN-_f2ybqM3WKLiMc/s1600/Photo+on+2011-12-27+at+23.16.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiPIRXccoAHvpLyvtTWW01Kze3lgWO3KQuWl6cdyljcOXR642iaJgN4SPdGlfxAo-BYH1XKPoSudGrjbyJAIMXl2yqQ2O39qnFhjp1DVD52sz9BVTSCcz5XLsTzyrTN-_f2ybqM3WKLiMc/s400/Photo+on+2011-12-27+at+23.16.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5725754921082903122" border="0" /></a><br /><div style="text-align: center;">Hello My Sweet-Tooths,<br /></div><br /><br /><br />I've been on uber hiatus. <span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">SERIOUS</span> hiatus. Clearly. It's my senior year of college and I have grad schools to apply for and jobs to get. You know how hectic this life can get. Now, I know that Americans are competitive by nature, but for me, I tend to abandon things when I see people hopping on the bandwagon and destroying something good. I'm guilty of that <span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(0, 204, 204);">hipster-like </span>mentality. However, I've been talking to a lot of creative people who feel the same as I do and we all agree that it is time to reclaim our reign as artists, bloggers, photographers, videographers, musicians, etc. I mean, there isn't a better time right? What is the world does end in December? I can't live (or not live rather) with giving up. Sooooo, with that, I do declare, Second Hand Sugar High is officially making a comeback. Granted, it might be a rocky start. I'm currently waiting for a call back for a <span style="font-weight: bold;">third</span> job and preparing for the GRE (the grad school SAT), so bare with me yeh? I'm here to bring you insightful thinking from my weird little brain and if you stick around you might like what you see. Plus, over my hiatus I've gotten way better at photography, audio journalism, and video [I invested in a kickass camera]. It shall be funnnn. :)<br /><span style="font-size:180%;"><span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;">Tune In Sweet things. </span></span>Mannyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10378105485074869933noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3730873838953361120.post-62592728803196494392011-05-25T14:21:00.000-07:002011-05-25T14:31:40.551-07:00Farewell Oprah<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjNPcYnBZP82nONWz-EttKw9xZoYOIVyUNpLs8bFM5K12PKygVPsuKQjmEea88NY4Tu3giay1Z2XG8RzN9zD10NPb3lglTfm31-KqeAbunBjn3Pet_DmvFJQI4FXoao6BhaZWOFm0_WRvo/s1600/Oprah-farewell.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 207px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjNPcYnBZP82nONWz-EttKw9xZoYOIVyUNpLs8bFM5K12PKygVPsuKQjmEea88NY4Tu3giay1Z2XG8RzN9zD10NPb3lglTfm31-KqeAbunBjn3Pet_DmvFJQI4FXoao6BhaZWOFm0_WRvo/s400/Oprah-farewell.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5610766970544759922" border="0" /></a>Today, Oprah aired her final show of her 25 year running talk show. She brought us some of the most historical people, celebrities, books, movies, and even jump started a lot of businesses with her Oprah Effect. Now she has her own network, <a href="http://www.oprah.com/own">OWN</a>. Basically, there is nothing this woman can't do. But now that she's saying farewell, who will be the next Oprah?<br /><br />Starting as a journalist and eventually becoming a typical talk show host, she could have easily fallen into the same catergory as Maury and Jenny Jones. However, she took a different approach, promoting more than just baby mama drama and confessions. She went beyond, bringing together high culture and pop culture, combining the two to bring together a product that works for all viewers. Her story is inspiring for me personally, as many journalism students a like. With the newspaper deteriorating and everything going online, along with reality TV taking over, we wonder what we can do to step it up a notch. That's exactly what Oprah did.<br /><br />So with that in mind.....who will be the next Oprah? Is it possible ? I'm definitely about to start brainstorming :DMannyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10378105485074869933noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3730873838953361120.post-53799744802065945562011-05-25T11:20:00.001-07:002011-05-25T11:26:36.852-07:00What You Need - The Weeknd<object width="420" height="390"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/XFiiq40lL34&rel=0&hl=en_US&feature=player_embedded&version=3"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/XFiiq40lL34&rel=0&hl=en_US&feature=player_embedded&version=3" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" allowScriptAccess="always" width="420" height="390"></embed></object><br /><br /><br />Lately there has been a lot of talk about the Toronto group The Weeknd and their album <span style="font-style:italic;">House of Balloons</span>. Its a mix of sexy/ space-y R&B jams. They're actually really smooth and quite refreshing. I get the sense of a little 90's R&B inspiration in it. If you haven't gotten a chance to hear their music, check them out <a href="http://the-weeknd.com/">here</a>. <br /><br />"What You Need" is one of my favorites on the album.

That means, no class and no job for me. So far I've just been riding around with my best, Bitty going to the beach, visiting friends, partying and such. I think I have a problem with not having any responsibilities or obligations. Like it was a completely turn around from when classes were in session. I was at the job every other day and when I was not at work I was in class striving to maintain that 3.0 + GPA.<br />Now its summer. Only one more year left of school and I'm a free'd bird. Guess I should really be planning for life after. Contemplating Peace Corps, Military Broadcasting, Grad School (in Cali?). Indecisiveness is a curse but its exciting and scary in one.<br /><br />10 days until I ship off to Europe for my vacation. Germany and Amsterdam to be exact. I'm not gonna want to come back. But really excited. Many many pictures will be taken.<br /><br />Anywho, just wanted to update.

Recently she dropped Tennillmatic, a 10 song mixtape of similarly smooth songs. She may be a new favorite of mine. Her voice is so soft but a lot of the things she sings about are edgy. And she can spit a bit. Its the perfect blend. One of my favorites from the mixtape is the song "Phelps," with a hook that quotes one of Biggie's famous lines...which one?? I'm not telling!

Especially on campuses. When they say "Everybody's doing it" it almost seems true lately, especially with everyone reppin' Taylor Gang/ Jet Life. I feel like this "trendy habit" may be growing into something more though. I mean, at the end of the day, people are going to do what they want to do, but I've seen so many ambitious people lose their focus. Celebrities have glamorized reefer-toking and its influence is quite evident on their viewers. However, those kids who wait anxiously every week for Khalifa's most updated "My Day Today" video, don't realize that THAT lifestyle is not reality for everyone. We're in school and trying to get jobs to clean up the mess that the older generation dropped on us. An occasional high can be fun but how will we ever move forward if everyone's "too smacked" to comprehend? I'm not dogging the herbals. They come from Earth. I think they were put here for a reason just like everything else in the world but too much of ANYTHING isn't good. So basically, when Rick James asked "Do you love me Mary Jane?," I'm pretty sure the answer was yes with consideration that she's a selfish lover, demanding all of her prey's time and (many) ambitions. I guess its illegal for a reason, yeh?<br /></p><p>And with that, Happy 420 readers!<br /></p><p><br /></p><p>-_____________________________-</p>Mannyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10378105485074869933noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3730873838953361120.post-21195832772772360662011-04-18T23:12:00.001-07:002011-04-18T23:21:15.828-07:00Nudes & Neons<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjhMCYqy2skgkPDh8rSnMJUSAP0qO3vY9VfIlhyJVGyFUIvBhneKOWyUrlYY0enHAJ-y-WaEVhNUjOz7XewqSAX3mcIidAAIL8p8mEDrLh08_W9rt3kYxbrm3N5RHe1ViCChj60XUE8juE/s1600/nudes%2526neons.png"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 314px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjhMCYqy2skgkPDh8rSnMJUSAP0qO3vY9VfIlhyJVGyFUIvBhneKOWyUrlYY0enHAJ-y-WaEVhNUjOz7XewqSAX3mcIidAAIL8p8mEDrLh08_W9rt3kYxbrm3N5RHe1ViCChj60XUE8juE/s400/nudes%2526neons.png" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5597173906738476866" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi0aDC0qJa6ZZiDc7qO6Is1J_d7h0KQQcZ9erd0lYP_tQqpuZh11H0qZEMjbNXCwZuXj19HMZ7pTFZL8SH5TJw5rSI0VA9ecv8PEGEtu-_dpA3CLO1vUvHVMtqMzMo0rFj1BL_nm0vE8BQ/s1600/ChanelSummer2011.bmp"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 281px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi0aDC0qJa6ZZiDc7qO6Is1J_d7h0KQQcZ9erd0lYP_tQqpuZh11H0qZEMjbNXCwZuXj19HMZ7pTFZL8SH5TJw5rSI0VA9ecv8PEGEtu-_dpA3CLO1vUvHVMtqMzMo0rFj1BL_nm0vE8BQ/s400/ChanelSummer2011.bmp" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5597173911737297810" border="0" /></a><br />The transition from the brisk winter into the sunny, warm spring is always an exciting. The sun starts beaming and the skin starts to show. More people log off their twitter accounts and actually go outside to enjoy each others' company. Things get more personal. With the new season comes new fashion, duh. So I'm pretty excited about the newness coming.<br />I'm a sucker for bright colors, I feel that without some kind of illumination in my outfit I'm just a blur. I'm pretty hype that nudes and neons are making a comeback. I feel that the creativity will return. Ladies, you better go cop your jumpsuits and your wedges early. I spotted some Matiko sandals to die for. Lol Butttt I'm going to be a little petty and not post them until their en route to my apt. They already sold out once, can you blame me.<br />But yes, spring and the fresh new beginnings it brings. I love this time of the year!Mannyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10378105485074869933noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3730873838953361120.post-53143235471933008742011-04-18T22:06:00.000-07:002011-04-18T22:07:50.534-07:00Eyes of Medusa - Kevin Senatra & Elle Maxwell [narrated by Juh Neigh]<object width="640" height="390"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/MnPUiZGbkdA&hl=en_US&feature=player_embedded&version=3"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/MnPUiZGbkdA&hl=en_US&feature=player_embedded&version=3" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" allowScriptAccess="always" width="420" height="390"></embed></object>Mannyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10378105485074869933noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3730873838953361120.post-27527152698574998802011-01-09T18:34:00.000-08:002011-01-09T18:36:25.269-08:00Birds are Falling.

Its the story of a photographer who's struggled with insecurities about a heart-shaped birthmark on his face. Throughout London, hoodlums have began to terrorize the city, brutally murdering and burning innocent victims. Jamie (played by Jim Sturgess) comes face to face with one of these hoodlums which he soon realizes is actually a demon. An unfortunate incident occurs (i wont tell you what!), leaving him feeling guilty and lonely. Jamie figures he has nothing left to live for until he is reminded that his mother had just one wish for him before she passed. She wanted him to find love. Jamie finds himself making a deal with "Poppa D" to erase his birthmark and become "normal" but, like all deals, there is always two sides. Jamie must make some sacrifices toward his character and do favors in return for his new appearance. <br /><br />Its not the best film you'll ever see but it does have some interesting concepts and characters.

But nonetheless, the Monster video released. There's a lot of speculations and thoughts about the whole Illuminati thing. I won't go too in depth on my thoughts but I <span style="font-weight: bold;">will</span> say that its nothing new. PEople have been selling their souls for generations.
