Today’s “Artist of the Day” is Marina and the Diamonds.
Marina Lambrini Diamandis (Greek: Μαρίνα-Λαμπρινή Διαμάντη, pronounced [ðʝaˈmadi]; born 10 October 1985), better known by her stage name Marina and the Diamonds(sometimes stylised as Marina & the Diamonds), is a Welsh…
I can’t be the only one who listens to french R&B right?
Of the songs by Jena Lee i’ve listened to, this one and “Mon Ange” are the ones I like the most. *downloading now*

The Lavender Town Syndrome (also known as “Lavender Town Tone” or “Lavender Town Suicides”) was a peak in suicides and illness of children between the ages of 7-12 shortly after the release of Pokémon Red and Green in Japan, back in February 27, 1996.
Rumors say that these suicides and illness only occurred after the children playing the game reached Lavender Town, whose theme music had extremely high frequencies, that studies showed that only children and young teens can hear, since their ears are not fully developed.
Due to the Lavender Tone, at least two-hundred children supposedly committed suicide, and many more developed illnesses and afflictions. The children who committed suicide usually did so by hanging or jumping from heights. Those who did not acted irrationally complained of severe headaches after listening to Lavender Town’s theme.
Although Lavender Town now sounds differently depending on the game, this mass hysteria was caused by the first Pokémon game released. After the Lavender Tone incident, the programmers had fixed Lavender Town’s theme music to be at a lower frequency, and since children were no longer affected by it.
One video appeared in 2010 using ”special software” to analyze the audio of Lavender Town’s music. When played, the software created images of the Unown near the end of the audio. This raised a controversy, since the Unown didn’t appear until the Generation 2 games: Silver, Gold, and Crystal. The Unown translate to “LEAVE NOW”.  There is also the said Beta Version of Lavender Town.It is said that the Beta Version of Pocket Monsters was released to some kids to test the games. This is the video of the Beta Version of Lavender Town:

A nice picture of what I assume is supposed to be Korra in her avatar state.
This is what all of my photos would be like if I was a photographer. All of my friends would have some awesome photos like this, but alas I’m taking the advertising route.
Alright so good news, I made it to a even 400 with no issues and could’ve done more. Bad news, TODAY is when my arms decided to feel like they want to fall off. Looks like I’m sticking with 250.
You know, I honestly did think about apologizing about yesterday. To say I lost my temper, that I should’ve worded my texts differently, and pretty much just say everything that happened was my fault. But then I thought more about it. Why did I get angry in the first place? After years of not having a issue with texts, why did it suddenly pop up again? So I’ve come to the conclusion that I won’t apologize, not until I get an apology as well. Because, my texts might of been misinterpreted, but so were yours. I might have gotten pissed off and wouldn’t listen to you, but you did the same to me. I won’t take all of this as my own doing, and if that means I never see/hear from you again then so be it. I won’t cater to anyone’s beliefs just to make them happy, so thank you guys for the advice, but I can’t do it. Side note though! I decided to do 200 pushups a day (among other things), and while I thought that was plenty, it only took me an hour and a half to do them (even though I’m at work). SO I’m going to keep going and see how many I can do before my arms fall off! AND I’m back to trying to do that picture a day thing. Adventure is out there!!
I’m alarmed at the number of anime I’ve seen in my life XD. Seriously. It’s a lot.
Seeing as today’s my birthday and all~
Yeah remember when I said that stuff about adventures being awesome and whatnot? Well I take it ALL back. I took that girl that I never met to New Orleans. We honestly had a great ride there and played some Mario Party when we got to her place. She told me two of her friends were coming over later, so I’m thinking “Yes! I get to meet more new people!”. Well her friends get to her place and it’s obvious that they’re on some kind of drug. We managed to get the info out of one of them that they’d taken some acid. Well everything was still going alright, and we all started playing Mario Party…but then something happened. The girl on acid got up and said she didn’t want to play anymore and walked out. She came back a little later and sat almost on top of me, but knocked the girl I brought back to New Orleans off of her own couch (We’ll call my friend “Girl B” and acid boy and girl “Boy A” and “Girl A” respectively.). Girl B asked Girl A to scoot over and Girl A hit my friend twice in the face with a water bottle, threw it and ran out of the house. Girl B looked at Boy A and said, “Dude. Go get her.” and he runs out. Now in retrospect we shouldn’t have sent another person on acid after her…Well he finds her and comes back (we’re out of the house at this point) to tell us that she wasn’t talking to him. So Girl B and I decide to go check ourselves. I walk over there by myself and saw her on the ground…Her face looked demonic. Her makeup was runny and her eyes looked almost completely black and lifeless and she was just rubbing herself on the ground. So I did the natural thing and got the hell out of there and told Girl B what happened. THIS time she goes over and I’m walking Boy A back inside because I consider this a lost cause. I happen to glance back in their direction though and saw Girl A attacking Girl B. I RUN over there and separate them and lead Girl B to safety. I THEN decide to go grab her for sure before she hurts herself. I look around for Girl A and find her, topless, walking the streets. I’m just like, “Oh my god…” at this point and AGAIN turn around because I didn’t want to be associated with it. I told Girl B and she, being the good friend that she is, insists that Boy A and I grab her before she gets arrested. We found her later completely naked, running around the streets. I’m yelling at her to cover herself up when I see a cop out of the corner of my eye. I tell Boy A to keep walking and don’t look back. We ALMOST make it to the house when another cop drives up and tells us to put our hands on the car. He then handcuffs us together and I’m just like, “Oh my god……….”. They question all of us, Girl A is gone. Like she’s been arrested or taken to the hospital or something. Anyway when they get to the freaking HIGH AS HELL dude I’m handcuffed to and ask him where he’s from, he can’t remember….I’m watching in horror as the cops ask us what we’ve been doing (Girl B and I are like “WE didn’t do anything! THEY did something.” and they’re talking about taking him in for being under the influence and I’m sure they’re gonna get me for association, but then a miracle happened. I’m not quite sure how but Girl B suggested that he wasn’t in any danger of over dosing. The cops said he was, but she insisted. They then uncuffed us and told Girl B and I to take Boy A to the house and watch him. If he dies it’s on our hands. I’m in shock and didn’t believe this was happening. We walk him back inside the house and the cops leave us alone…THAT was my day yesterday…so if you EVER hear me say, “Oh I’m sure it’ll be an adventure” please slap me and tell me to stay confined to my bubble away from the world. Thank you :D
The way I look at life is like it’s an adventure. So when a girl I only know by name needs a ride to New Orleans and I have nothing planned for the day, I say why not? Unless she kills me, then these are my final words. ”Uhm…gravy…don’t like the stuff.”
The other day I was told that I am just like Ginny Weasley. I don’t know how I feel about that. I would like to THINK I have a soul… (sorry gingers). Plus I’m a tall, black male!
I’ve become a professional procrastinator. Here it is, 27 minutes before I need to be at work, and I refuse to move from my bed to get ready. This takes skill and years of hard work, that I’ll do later.
The oddest combination of people..well next to Eminem and Elton, or Coldplay and that Respawna person or whatever.
