#the insane thing about this post is ive had basically no negative comments at all

[jamierthanyou]

as an aroace, im particularly dangerous, because i wont fuck or marry. i only know how to kill.

[tzuyuscloud]

This isnt my usual post but im just gonna rant. I dont want no kind of negativity in my inbox or comments because I will not be tolerating it whatsoever.

I know we have all heard of or seen clips of the LSFM documentary.

1. I am actually so sick of people, might I add people who have no singing experience, job that has anything to do with singing or kind of teaching background or education in singing, not even criticizing BUT bullying Sakura over her vocals. We clearly know she’s been and idol for 13 years, stop bringing it up. She obviously won’t improve when people are basically calling her worthless 24/7 whenever she breathes. Hell I was an advanced choir kid since 6th grade and I still had a shaky voice and voice cracks when I would lose confidence. What she needs first is not vocal lessons but fucking therapy. Because everyone wants to be a critic, when their “critiques” aren’t even valid no real solutions of getting better.

Like yall rmbr when Momo had no confidence to sing bc yall thought the best solution was to talk shit. But now shes getting better because SHES GAINING CONFIDENCE. How do you expect one to get better at something when they constantly have two devils on both shoulders saying that they suck and need to quit.

2. Saying that the girls are “faking” or “great acresses” throughout the documentary shows how fucking sick you are and I hope you are aware that hell is insanely hot. Chaewon literally broke down because she doesn’t know why shes doing what shes doing for anymore, she doesn’t know how to be happy, had a fucking IV in her arm before filming Unforgiven, was sick but still decided to film because everyone likes to hold idols but not just idols WOMEN to high ass fucking standards but let it be (no shade at all) a man and all hell breaks loose.

This clearly shows the double standards the industry, companies, AND so called “fans” have towards female idols and male idols. A male idol can have a voice crack, bad vocals, and its seen as a bad vocal day. But let it be a female idol and suddenly she needs to quit or even worse k word herself. Have we not seen what happens in the industry when your so called “criticism” hurts idols. Have we not seen the lose of many idols who still deserves to be here on earth today. Seeing how Sakura, Chaewon, Yunjin, Kazuha and Eunchae have gone from smiling 24/7 to faking a smile. You can clearly see the hurt and tiredness in their eyes and its absolutely painful to look at. Have some fuckimg human decency and stop acting entitled to idols’ lives and their careers when all you are doing is sitting behind a screen.

3. This goes for every female idol ever compared to male idols. I don’t want anyone saying “oh well so n so from *insert bg*” no. The double standards are clearly there and let me give an example.

I AM A BLACK WOMAN. (Before anyone wants to comment)

Giselle says the n-word. Ppl hold her accountable, gives her death threats, drags it on to this very day.

Soul says the n-word. Ppl go “oh we all know Keeho scolded him after that” then everyone forgets about it.

You can clearly see the double standards. Women are expected to be 100x better from the day they start training compared to male idols who could make a mistake at a concert and not get their entire bloodline cursed and shamed for breathing.

I already know this is one thing about the industry that will never change, no matter how many lives are taken or at stake. No matter how many idols get insanely sick mentally and physically, its proven that yall only view them as objects of your happiness and once they get older (more so female idols) or mess up, you just throw them aside and look for another.

Lets be real, the reason why half of these idols are sick and unconfident isn’t just because of the companies and industry but because of yall fans as well. And imma say this. IF THE SHOE FITS THEN WEAR IT. IF IT DOESN’T PERTAIN TO YOU, THEN DO NOT GET OFFENDED. 🗣️

The day after i saw Venom, i went with my ma to see A Star Is Born. That sh*t usually isn’t my flavor but i’m okay with what i got in this situation. Gaga gave one helluva performance and i’m not mad about all of that Oscar talk. he deserves it, particularly before she got her shine. I was also surprised by Andrew Dice Clay. I didn’t even realize bro could act but, for what little of him we got, my mans was outstanding. peaking of outstanding, this movie REALLY needed more Chappelle. That little bit you got in the preview? That’s it. And it’s not even i the movie. The re’s a bit of him there but it’s a different speech. Dave knocked his time onscreen out of the park and giving him so little to do is a missed opportunity. Still, overall, Bradley Cooper did a wonderful job with his first directorial outing. All that being aid, i got some issues, man. This isn’t really a review, more an observation i’m posting while shooting from the hip. You want a review? It’s f*cking great. Go see that sh*t! You want to know my frustration with this thing? read on.

The biggest thing is kind of the tone. Like, i understand the way this story is told, a famous dude dates an aspiring artist, said artists gets a taste of the fame, said tater eclipses their spouse, something happens and the relationship ends in bitterness or tragedy. This thing has been remade 4 times so i’m aware of the basic plot but seeing it in action was surreal. Like, you don’t hate Cooper’s character, you just feel bad for him. He’s the fading star. I imagine originally, there was a semblance of jealousy that poisons the relationship but there isn’t a hint of that here. He’s a drunk, sure, but that doesn’t really into anything. It’s more a quirk of his character than a deriding condition. Cooper’s fading star finds himself frustrated with the path to fame his wife has taken. When they met, she sang songs full of soul and substance. When she hooked up with this manager, she threw away all of that genuine sound for pop nonsense. It helped her achieve her dream but, i assume, cheapened her voice, in Cooper’s eyes. Even when he was f*cking up, dude was one hundred percent supportive of his wife and wanted her to be the best she could be. Id even he didn’t like the music she was making, he didn’t do anything to sabotage or derail her career, expect for that one time he got way too drunk. But that alcoholism thing wasn’t even his fault. He legit has substantial trauma and tried to address that sh*t, repeatedly, throughout their relationship. Again, you don’t hate Cooper’s character. You just feel bad. And his decision to go out the way he did? Bro, really? THAT was your answer? It felt disingenuous.

The villain in this story, if there is one, is definitely Gaga. She feels so... plastic. he was just so malleable, contorting into whatever form her manager wanted her to be in order to get that shine. Early on, it’s established she has a thing about her looks so whenever anyone comments negatively about them, she spazzes out. You see this, i think, twice in the film and she uses it to garner a certain semblance of sympathy? i guess? I dunno, i’m not the most empathetic of dudes so she just came across as shortsighted, childish, and foolish. A lot, like, A LOT, of the conflict in this movie could have been subverted if sh was just open to being herself. If she was just true to her sound but, knowing the music business as i do, she was only an album in. She had that three-deal obligation to maintain. You make what the label wants you to make until you establish yourself and then you make what you want to make. That’s why most artists make their best work three or four albums in. Usually. Gaga’s character takes that to an extreme though, ignoring the f*ck out of her husband and mildly resenting him when he has his spill. You can see it in her face toward the end. It’s f*cking insane! Just divorce the dude and move on, f*ck!

I liked this movie. The performances were spectacular, the direction was great, the music was phenomenal, and even the the plot was trite, Cooper’s take on that whole dynamic was interesting. Interesting and flawed. But i think that was the point. This was a very human picture, about very flawed individuals, thrust into very surreal circumstances. The resolution of this series of unfortunate events was kind of telegraphed and felt unearned, like it’s the easy way out, but i guess it works. It doesn’t cheapen the overall product. It’s the fact that, literally, at any time, if these two cats went to counseling, none of this sh*t would have happened. If these two, Gaga in particular, has a f*cking dialogue, none of this wold have gone this way. It’s frustrating watching the ending of this movie because i know, for a fact, it didn’t have to go this was. I love my chick. Ive loved my chick for 14 goddamn years. There is nothing antagonistic in our relationship. Competitive, maybe, but competitive with the understanding that whoever wins, we both win in the end, you know? If i’m up and she’s down, she supports me. If i’m down and she’s up, i support her. It seem like that was lost on Gaga’s character because Copper was doing his best to BE that guy and she just took him for granted.

Maybe that’s the point. Maybe that’s his take on this story. Maybe that’s the story Cooper wanted to tell and maybe it’s just too real to separate from reality for me. Either way, check out A Star Is Born. It;s worth a watch on the strength of Gaga and Chappelle’s performances, alone, even of the movie can be resolved with a couples therapy session or two.

I think I am going to kill myself

This seems like the best place to leave it. nobody follows me here so nobody will try and stop me. It is friday, october 6th 2017 at 1:16 PM. and i think im going to kill myself.... hopefully today. hopefully before my roommate gets back. I might attempt to hide myself... just, go someplace else.��

im tired of trying to talk to people, therapy is only making it worse. i think i would just rather die

now before someone tells me that its a “permanent solution to a temporary problem” might i remind you that in death... I wont care. i’ll be dead, I cant be missing life or regret what i did. If i am already dead.  I’ve wanted to for years

people just always insist on stopping me why though

everyone says all these great things about me but how many of them truly know me

how many of them know my favorite color or why i liked photography

who knows what it is that makes me a BAD person

people always try to convince me i’m good. 

im not good

I like to look at both sides of the spectrum

I like picking the bad guy

because i see why they did it, 

i can easily side with your standard disney villans, like scar and gaston (sort of, he was an arrogant dick i know, but so were most men back then and frankly most continue to be) 

I can remain neutral on things like mass shootings

I dont stand for hate crimes. that i cant do, people suck, we are all temporary, mortal, but honestly the same, we can be boiled down to the same basics, human beings, coming from different places results in variations in appearance and beliefs, culture, food, anything really...

i believe there are no good guys, or bad guys. people make choices based off of where theyve been and what theyve been through. and while it might not be whats good for you, it could be whats good for them. I mean really. out of everyone in this world. you’re probably thinking about whats best for you before you think of whats best for anyone else.

Which brings me back to my point

I think im going to kill myself

this is the decision that is best for me. 

In 19 years, I have never enjoyed confrontation, it makes me anxious, it makes me angry, it makes me scared and confused. I dont like it. I can not stand it.

So i never tell people whats going on thats bothering me or hurting me or impacting me negatively

I never told my parents that their constant punishing me for my grades, made having friends and a social life hard, I couldnt go to birthday parties or movies or the mall, because i struggled to get good grades. I couldnt do school, So i couldnt have many friends, that was fair, thats a productive punishment.

I never tell my boyfriend when his constant insecurity and bellyaching about things bothers me, Because i love him, I want to help him, i do, but i want him to remember that because we’re doing life together. it doesnt mean every aspect of our lives need to involve each other, I made plans with friends,you should too. I love him. and thats what makes doing this so hard, the one heart i cant bring myself to break is his. he only wanted to love and support me this whole time, he just wants to give me the life i dream of. he wants to give me the world. and i know he’s trying. and im so grateful that i got to spend these last four years with him. but i dont think i can do life any longer. I dont have the fighting spirit he fell in love with anymore. its not your fault, you did everything right. i just cant do it anymore. You are so deserving of love babe, you have so much to give, even if you cant see it. you do. thats what makes you a good friend, a good listener. an amazing boyfriend and an even better fiancé. Im sorry for taking me away from you, but someone who can love you better. who can make you happier will come around, she will give you the life you deserve. 

I wish my friends could help. but they tend to make it worse on me. I know i dont talk much, but please stop saying im secretive( that goes for you too family) Im not secretive. i just dont know how to address people about my problems. and when i bring it up, and you comment on how im finally talking. it makes me regret it instantly. I know i dont talk. I KNOW. but i dont need to be reminded of it, especially when im upset,

 Thanks uncle dad.we’re very similar, you told me that at least. But the days where i’d be upset and you’d just sit there with me while i laid in bed, quietly crying to myself. not saying much. just, existing there... it helped.

Since school started, i’ve been holding out, i havent done it yet, because my roommate was not ok after losing a friend earlier this year. and it sucked to watch her be like that. but i dont want to make myself suffer anymore, i’ve suffered in silence for so long, its unfair to me to have to stick around when i’ve already been so sad for at least 11 years. i dont want a lifetime of it

theres no guarantee that it’ll be a lifetime.

but honestly. theres also no guarantee that it wont. 

my friends have been going through their own things. i worry about them, and i love them, but honestly. once i reached the point where i no longer valued my life, i stopped valuing most lives. human lives.

 I still care about animals. they’re cute and bring me calm. I would love to have my cat here, or be able to adopt a kitten or a puppy, they’re sweet and small. theyre warm and i could hug them when i’m down, but my mother says no. so i dont even bother bringing it up to a therapist. 

I wish my friends werent going through what they are, none of them deserve it. the hardships and pain of life. of growing up. of learning to adult.  I hope they live long happy fulfilling lives. They deserve it, they deserve the best.

Ive hated my life

the more i think back on it the less i feel like it matters

my life that is

look. you want to know something insane, that i still dont understand

how could someone so ugly, be molested so many times

like

wow.

kindergarden

7th grade

and one time at summer camp

i guess thats not a lot. 

but i think one time is too many,

genuinely. 

MY BODY

has been taken advantage of

by so many people, they decided, not me, that i was theirs to touch, and stroke, and grope...

i guess thats why i cant stand physical contact with strangers... or anyone who  i haven’t explicitly told they are trusted.

i’ve been writing for an hour.

WOW

this really feels like a suicide note. 

Ive been saying goodbye for an hour

My therapist said to contact him if the feeling to kill myself ever came. 

not happening

I’m not telling anyone... not even my boyfriend,

i cant tell anyone, they’ll just try and stop me.

I could point fingers and blame, but i wont.

My parents were wonderful. They made mistakes, but no parent doesnt,  life comes with no handbook, and when you have to maintain your own and build something sturdy for your children, so they can live a good life. it can not be easy. I think you guys did amazing. and i love you. even though you can drive me absolutely mad, I love you guys. my parents are my first love. theyre amazing.

My sister is my favorite person, we always had a good relationship. shes my sister, she taught me everything i know about life, She does everything in her power to help me. to fix things for me. to make me laugh and smile. Most recently her daily spoop messages. she’s the reason i maintained an interest in anything, She sends me memes, and links, and music. she shows me plays and movies. she has the best cat, both of my sisters cats have been my favorite, when we got shadow i was 6, and scared of her, I wanted a dog not a cat, but we got a cat. and after a while i warmed up to her, shadow was gentle and sweet and beautiful. she would come to drink your milk after you had cereal, and she would lay on my foot when i pet her to keep me from going away. and laf is the cutest most noodly cat i have ever met, he’s thin and floppy like cooked spaghetti. and i love him.

I wish, i could put into words. why i cared for the people i did so much, why i did everything in my power to make them happy, 

but i cant

and if you’re reading this i’m sorry.

I cant keep making up excuses to live another day.

i have shit grades, i have a shit attention span, I barely have job and i know i’m not good at it. 

i’m not good at anything, I’m not creative, i cant draw, my photography is sub par, I suck at making new friends and honestly i feel like nobody really wants to get to know me. 

I dont believe suicide is the answer

i never have

but I dont think i have any other way.

I had dreams of getting married, and starting a family. I had dreams of studying abroad with my friends. I wanted to move to california. I wanted to see every disney. I wanted to travel the world with my best friend. I wanted to freelance.

I dont want much anymore

shit. i dont even want to eat most of the time

i dont even want to finish this post.

it is now 2:36 PM

Im wary... i am unsure if i can. 

but i think i will

I THINK IM GOING TO KILL MYSELF

7 Cheeky Strategies To Sell Yourself The Steve Jobs Way

If you have been living under a rock for the past 20 plus years then maybe you wouldn’t have heard of Steve Jobs, so here is a very, very simple intro.

Steve Jobs is the founder of Apple, one of the biggest tech-giant companies in the world. Before he climbed the ladder of success, he did so many mind blowing things that one could glean knowledge from. He dominated not only the personal computer industry but amalgamated all the knowledge and techniques he gained from other industries to fulfill his dream.

Steve Jobs left some cheeky strategies that you too can glean to help you dominate your industry just like he did, obviously if you are willing to follow his footsteps you can attain such great heights too.

  Here are 7 cheeky strategies to sell yourself the Steve Jobs way so you can dominate your industry.

  1. Do What You Love

Nothing incredible comes out of hopelessness. Life is too short to work a job you hate without stopping for even a single minute. Passion is everything; this is what keeps you going when you confront inevitable setbacks. Be obsessed and always improve the areas that you love. It takes guts to do what you love. Most people will criticize you on it and discourage you that such job is risky or you won’t make any profit or some other garbage.

  (Click on this sentence to read a previous article I wrote that talks about our environment, haters and naysayers)

  You might hear people advising you to ignore them and be true to yourself. But that is a load of BS. Let these types of negativity and doubting Toms be your fuel to greatness.

  Let this #quoteoftheday guide you:

“The best form or revenge is success.”

  However, passion is not enough to dominate your industry and to make progress; you have to focus on what and where you can make money.

  What is your purpose in life and your destiny?

How can you be a world changer?

How can you be a solution to the world?

  Steve Jobs had to take a calligraphy class because he was inquisitive (curious). Most people thought he was nuts. We have so many cool PC fonts today because of that class.

This is just one definition of the world “impact”, now all computer users are using these cool functionalities and features because Steve Jobs decided to spend time in what he love.

This made him dominate his industry and generation. You too could learn from this cheeky strategy.

  2. Put A Dent In The Universe

This is an inspiration for yourself and your team. People need to be motivated in order to produce at a higher level. This is difficult because innovation doesn’t take place in a vacuum. Innovation starts with a vision, learn to dream dreams of who you want to become and how you want to add value to the world presently.

  How can you make your clients’ lives better?

What’s the master plan and how can you share your vision with people who will make your vision a reality?

With weights from all edges, it is easy to be mediocre.

  You will make great things happen if you are putting a dent in the universe on every project. For example:

  On a much smaller scale, we develop software for the police departments in their dispatch centers. It is our vision to make their job easier because an enhanced dispatch will result in a faster means of saving lives. This is just an example of a small dent in the wall.

  3. Kick Start Your Brain

To kick start your brain, we must go out of our way to encounter different situations and provide solutions in multiple areas. I can confirm that occasionally you are so caught up in what the clients’ need that you disregard your need to improve and your problem might be that you are stuck in a routine. Always keep your eyes open.

  Check out this TED Talks video on where good ideas come from by Steven Johnson.

You can get his book here on Amazon

Click here to go to Amazon and check out the book plus reviews

Let’s continue!

  Look out for new and novel experiences, and fill your brain with them. Look for people doing something remarkable and learn from them. Steve Jobs studied Mercedes Benz and the Four Seasons Hotel because they are experts when it comes to remarkable client experiences. Steve Jobs introduced what he had learnt from observing the Four Seasons Hotel “a Concierge Service” in the Apple Store.

A basic piece of this principle is to make connections among unique things and force yourself beyond the limit of your physical and mental comfort zone. Living your dream requires creative intuition which requires drenching in novel experiences.

Create ways for new experiences because they expand the way you think. Surround yourself with people from various societies. Always experiment and try new things.

  4. Sell Dreams Not Products

If you have not seen any of Steve Job’s presentations, take a moment and hop over to YouTube (search “Steve Jobs presentation”) and immerse yourself in a couple hours of Steve.

You will learn that he is an excellent story teller and a master presenter. He sells dreams and possibilities not bits and bytes.

Apple products are packaged with incredible engineering and innovation yet he keeps the geek speak to a minimum.

  “I can attest that our sales of our software went up dramatically when we stopped selling product tech babble and started selling dreams and possibilities.”

Quote from the book: The Innovation Secrets of Steve Jobs

Understand your clients, and help them to achieve their dreams. Get to know them better than they know themselves. Think of ways in which you can change your customers’ world for the better.

Create amazing customer experiences and market that! Your clients often may not know what they want, so be a linchpin and anticipate their need before they do.

    5. Say No To 1,000 Things

This must be the hardest guideline covered so far. For instance the battery of an iPod cannot be interchanged. Steve Jobs kept his resolve and did not allow consumers to push him for convenience.

He thought adding an interchangeable batter in his products would have included too many moving parts, reduced reliability and increased complexity. Keep in mind that for every input there should be an output. This will make two break points surface; eliminate one thing and dispose of two problems.

Take the street less traveled and avoid distractions so you can concentrate on the core product. Wipe out diversions from the customer experience. Go for simplicity and don’t spread yourself too thin.

Steve Jobs told Nike’s CEO Mark Parker, “Get rid of the crappy stuff and focus on the good stuff.” Go for elegance and simplicity.

Rearrange and focus on your product and service offerings. You know what you do best, focus on it and simplify!

  6. Create Insanely Great Experiences

Take a look at Apple Store for example, they thought about every last bit to make it a great experience. Create emotional connections with your clients. Apple took the Starbucks experience along with knowledge and there was no pressure selling to the people. Other companies failed upon trial.

Innovation and execution has a significant effect. Ask questions! What are five ways you can improve the lives of your clients?

Think outside the box! Get answers outside the industry. Create memorable experience so you have fans that can go crazy for your products. Before you innovate, always consider your customer’s way of thinking and then you may proceed from that point.

  7. Master Your Message

You can’t hide passion. Communicate your vision effectively! When you love what you do and are ready be sure that people will eventually see it. Create innovation around the way you communicate the vision.

  Observe and learn from master communicators and presenters. Become a great storyteller, and be steadfast in your messaging.

  Mastering your message requires the talent of telling a captivating story. Story telling will create more passion and win more business around your company than anything else.

  Innovation is an astonishing convergence of somebody’s imagination and the reality in which we live. One of the ways to succeed in life is to know how to effectively position, market yourself in every circumstance. And of course, to have success in any specific niche or industry communication without a doubt a given.

  Your excitement and passion as well as your story telling ability will attract great people. Another figure that should be recognized is Sir Jonathan Ive the new Chief Design Officer (CDO) of Apple.

  And there you have it, “7 Cheeky Strategies to Sell Yourself The Steve Jobs Way”.

What did you learn from this post? How was it useful? What do you think you need to work on?
