Leilani

I'd like to meet:

I'm not one to really go all out for celebrities.
like "OH MY GOD!! ITS FUCKIN BRAD PITT!!! AHHHHHHHHH!! *foaming at the mouth*"
i'd instead be like like "hey! what's up?"

But it's nice to see how much one changes over time, no?
I used to be head over heels in love with this man named Daryl Palumbo- lead singer of Glassjaw and Head Automatica.
Now, however, if I were to see him on the street (along with Brad Pitt) I don't think I would "freak out" as much as I once felt I would in a previous stage of my life.
Awww, but he was my first real celebrity crush; but my love for him was completely justifiable on account that once upon a time I felt I could relate with all the pain that he felt. It made me feel less alone.
But now I believe both him and me have left that part of our lives behind us, that, or everything seems a little more bearable now, and so I wish us both all the luck the world has to offer on our new journeys in life.
I still deeply hold him in a part of my heart so I'll still keep up the little shrine that I had up for him that proceeds in the next paragraph.

I think the reason why I have fallen madly in love with him so much is because- he's just so real. I don't know how to describe it. Like his voice channels every emotion he ever feels. You don't just hear it, you feel it. The anger, the sadness, the hopelessness, the irony, happiness, heartache- he releases it all through his music.
I've always believed your true passion; writing, singing, painting, acting- those are all ways we can release the negative energy trapped in side us, and Daryl is the perfect example of that.
I look up to him so much because he battles Crohn's Disease. He knows pain and everything it completely has to offer- the loathing, the self-pity, even momentary thoughts of escaping it all.
But this man deals with it in the way that ,yes, at times he does let his pain show-it's unhealthy to keep it inside all the time- but right after that? He picks yourself off the ground and continues the journey.
I have had Osteochondritis Dissecans for years now. I relate his song "Everything You've Ever Wanted to Know About Silence" where he sings about his times in the hospital.
That song is so powerful, and tragic, and intense. So human. All his songs feel that way.
Listening to Daryl Palumbo's struggles and triumphs makes me feel like I'm not alone, you know?
I feel stronger.

So celebrity-wise; only Daryl.
Everyone else seems just like ordinary people just with a higher paycheck than mine.
But I would like to meet every individual who has helped change the world in even the smallest way possible.

But this man.

Subcomandante
Insurgente

Marcos

Delegado Cero

El "Sup"

This man is ethereal.

And as I told him;

No longer solely in the books she reads, the films she sees, the stories she hears or the past histories she was never a part of.

He is he.
And he is here.
And so is she.

And we will all make it out of this.
We just have to wait for the rain.

There are so many worthy people I would give anything to go back in time to meet them and join in their struggles; Ceasar Chavez,Roman Nose, Malcom X, Che, Angela,Zapata, Lolita, Corky, Huey and Bobby, MLK, DuBois, Peltier.
My god there is so many to name but they all hold a specail place in my heart.

These people all bring me courage. I want to meet them all and tell them thanks.

But anyone who shares the same veiws I have.
Complete and utter equality for people- where little things like race, religion, beliefs, economic stature, location- NOTHING will make a difference.
If you share those same views, than I would love to meet you too.

Music:

GLASSJAW! Darly Palumbo's voice is just so amazing -_-,(i really won't go on about the greatness of glassjaw, i'll be here all night) I'm really into the rock scene. growing up, lets say in the more 'cultured' part of Tucson, i grew up listening mainly to rap and hip-hop. When middle school came i realized, you know what? this sucks. i just don't care for the rims, bling and the bitches and hos. SURE! i still love to dance. and i still listen to some hip-hop: favorite rappers Ludacris, Busta Rhymes, and Missy Elliot. but I just prefer rock. BUT STILL REALLY LOVE TO DANCE *doing really black ass shaking dance to Drop It Like It's Hot as we speak*Favorite bands/singers: Anything associated with Daryl Palumbo, Taking Back Sunday, System of a Down, Linkin Park, Finch, Nurses, Slipknot, Ramones, Radiohead, Queens of the Stoneage, Korn, Foo Fighters, The Postal Service, Keane, Yoko Kanno, Hot Hot Heat, The Mars Volta, Lost Prophets, Deftones, Modest Mouse,Incubus, Lamb, Bjork,Garbage, Glove Puppet, BOB MARELY AND The WAILERS!!. BLAH! it's gonna be impossible for me to name all of them because i don't just like one type of music, you know?HAHAH! then gotta love my local bands!! if you're ever in Tucson sometime (which i'd feel sorry for you) check out these bands. The Mundays- punk-ish* Porte La Gente- ska-ish* Old Man- ...dude, i really have no idea what i could lable them as-ish* HAHA! Less Than Famous- really preppy but TRYING to be punk-ish HAHA! no i love you guys.* Put my bottom dollar (by the way, what the hell IS a bottom dollar?) that atleast one of these bands are gonna make it.

Movies:

Like you know the types of movies broads watch when they're feeling down-
"OMG!! (insert blank) DUMPED ME!" "I FAILED MY EXAM!" yadda yadda, so we put in our favorite movie and eat like a pint of starbucks icecream?
My chick flick that always cheers me up is Die Hard. Or South Park ( i love the baby!! Kyle's adopted brother. what's his name?..man i forget but hearing his voice always cheers me up.lol)
Sure I like SOME real chick flick movies though; Labyrinth, A Walk in the Clouds (basically anything with an outrageous amount of romance or fantasy counts as a chick flick.
BUT BOTH IN THE SAME MOVIE?! Well then that's just a regular sleepover with the girls! *giggle giggle as some random chicks tie me down and paint pink polish on my nails while I fight ravenously*
OOOo BUT!! I basically like anything Hiyao Miyazaki and his films often have both romance and fantasy.
BUT THAT DOESN'T COUNT because the man is a genius.
And so outside of the wonderful world of corporate Hollywood I LOVE a good independent film or ..ary.
Something stunning and breathtaking. Just something that makes a thought that usually would never enter your head find its way in there as if it owns the place.
'Crossing Arizona' tends to be one of my very favorites right now. What can I say? A ..ary that completely focuses on issues us Arizonans have to call life daily?
THAT'S MY KINDA FILM! Like everything on the news you see right now: the border, "illegals", these protests on the streets.
This isn't anything new people. And it's about time this issue is put in the spotlight it deserves.
So if anyone ever hears that 'Crossing AZ' is coming close to your area-go see it right away.
You will not regret it.

Television:

Which celebrity should be given a national holiday?
CONAN O'BRIEN!
Children will have to dye their hair red.

UGH! YOU HAVE TO WATCH THE ORIGINAL JAPANESE VERSION THOUGH! The English version is toxic. They butchered such a damn good show.

So yeah with that said you can also assume I'm a BIG lover of anime.

It all started when I was young and my first show i HAD to watch everyday afterschool was SAILORMOON!
