No Sound is dissonant which tells of Life.

I was thinking about Dream House…

And about how much I miss my best friends that are in China, Taiwan, Spain, and Ithaca… but the sharpest pain came from realizing we never had the chance to throw an Edward 40-hands party. Of course for Rita and Cat, it could have been Edward-ice hands.

I now have a favorite article from Field and Stream…

“Lady Gaga Goes Fishing In Panties & High Heels”

http://www.fieldandstream.com/blogs/fishing/2010/03/lady-gaga-goes-fishing-panties-high-heels

Best part of the article though was the comment from user “deerstalker”

“from deerstalker wrote 11 weeks 2 days ago

Well as long as she’s doing this to relax it’s okay, but if it turns out to be some publicity stunt, the fishing sport really doesn’t need to be degraded by that.”

Yea, because when I hear the word ”fishing” I don’t think Larry the Cable Guy and King of the Hill, I think Kafka and Masterpiece Theatre.

Deerstalker must have a vintage, full bodied stash of Budweiser. I heard 2010 was a GREAT year.  

My Defense of Ke$ha (no seriously, hear me out)

Lately I’ve been hearing from people that “Ke$sha is trashy.” and “Ke$sha needs a shower.” and “Ke$ha likes fat dudes and guys with hippy beards.” and “Ke$ha is a drunken mess.”

To the mindless masses and haters (this includes anybody from catty girls to pretentious hipsters, who are worse than catty girls) this may seem to be the truth. But these opinions are coming from people who can’t look at their own actions truthfully and people who buy into antiquated gender roles. Here are my grievances:

1. Ke$ha is not a ho bag, she speaks her mind and has turned the table on men. In “Blah Blah Blah” the line “don’t be a little bitch with your chit chat, just show me where your d*ck is at” has led many to question Ke$ha’s character. This is a TRAVESTY. How many years have men been objectifying women in songs, raps, advertising, movies, ect. While no one should be objectifying anyone, it is extremely gratifying as a female to see a girl objectify a boy in such a way.

It seems that girls are realizing at a more rapid rate that they’re in control of their sexuality and it is scarying the shit out of society/ confusing many. Look at Lady Gaga. She’s a strong, successful, sexually open person and the media and blogs tried to spread that she was a man. Are they suggesting these positive qualities can only be found in a man? Unfortuantely, a full liberation has not been achieved and the likes of Ke$ha should be applauded for having the balls to say what’s  really on her mind.

This leads to another thing that drives me CRAZY. I’ve seen it where a guy tries to get into a girl’s pants yet when the girl puts out, they’re labeled slutty, even by the very man who engaged in the sexual act. This has been going on for HUNDREDS of years and the lack of progress is APPALLING. Today it’s certainly not to the extent of what it was from the 1600s-1980s but the fact Ke$ha is being called a slut because of her upfront, brash tactics seems a little unfair when rappers like Trey Songz are writing songs about how the “neighbors know my name” (alluding that women call out his name all the time). I’m sick of men like this not being held accountable for their “slutty” actions and the worst part about it is that women play into calling other females sluts too. Tsk Tsk lady haters!

Ke$ha is obviously tired of the games, as many of my female friends are, in this hook-up obsessed world. She, thankfully, is starting to take back control. Despite what you may think of Lady Gaga and Ke$ha’s music, woman have been censored for years and these women aren’t having it. If you want a boring, non-opinionated girls who plays nice go listen to Taylor Swift fairy tale songs, which are very much from the eyes of a naive teenage girl. 

2. Ke$ha’s a drunken mess? Haven’t we all been a drunken mess at some point(s)? I go to UD and everyone who attends that school and calls Ke$ha a hot mess needs to take a page from Sassy Gay Friend. “Look at your life, look at your choices.” Haven’t we all had a night where things got a little out of hand. I would say I’m a well informed lady and I’ve even found myself drunk to the point of rolling in the grass at night with no shoes. It’s called being young and silly. Thank you Ke$ha for letting us know we’re not alone in wicked hangovers. I’m happy somebody is telling it like it is- people make bad decisions and have fun while doing it.

3. Ke$ha has been called gross for being attracted to men who are “below her league.” Seriously, wtf. Wow she’s not shallow. Let’s chastise her for it!

She’s not desperate. In “You’re Love is My Drug” she presents a situation that is all too common for many girls. We all have a boy or boys that we should really just delete from our phonebook but can’t. The girl is, for lack of a better term, “keepin’ it real.”

In closing I think some people are doing Ke$ha a HUGE injustice. She’s tongue in cheek and it’s going over everyone’s head. I love her image. It’s funny, interesting, something new, ballsy, and LIBERATING. We’d all lead a happier, more fufilled life if we cut the bullshit, spoke the truth, and did what made us happy, not what others expected us to do. I’ve said it once, I’ll say it again. Haters are gonna hate either way.
