"Today we celebrate Martin Luther the King defeating racist Godzilla and White Supremist King Kong in a steal cage match for Civil Rights." A Tweet of mine.
But honestly lets not forget what this man was about, and where he hoped that we would go.

Goin In
A lot of people posted this already but I felt like it was necessary for me to do it again, because Drake and Lil Wayne should take note from this. Keith is goin in.

"I'm white"
First let me tell you a story about something that happened when I was at work on Friday.
"I was talking to the kids about Martin Luther King and segregation. So I was telling them how the black kids would not have been able to go to Harding the school that I work at, and then I was like some of the Hispanic kids might not be able to go either. So they go into an uproar and s...he yells out "But I'm white, me and my family are white."
As soon as she said this I was like WTH? This girl is Mexican and looks like a little Pocahantas.
I am thinking what White People do you know that look like you. And not only that but also talk you. Now I did not get on her about this because she is a child so she her perspective is probably slightly skewed. It just made me think about something. Because I have notice that there are a few people of color who sometimes think they are white. Some parents from different countries that are not in Europe sometimes even tell their children that they are white. So I am starting to think what is the benefit of being a minority and obviously not looking anything like a white person but thinking that you are white?

One week of Twitter on my belt.
So I just finished my first week on Twitter. I have become pretty proactive on it, but at the same time I still have love for facebook. And also I am unsure if I am truly accomplishing things on twitter. While on facebook you want to get friend request it is not the most important thing it is not about who has the most friends. On facebook there are some many things that are important. However on Twitter the name of the game is to get as many followers as you possibly. Right now I am at sixteen, failing. Maybe things will pick up. I have had fun sharing some of my thoughts. Most of my comments will probably just be really random thoughts.

Rules To Tourism
Never ask a Thai woman to have sex with you if they are not a prostitute, and never fight back.
Man they were going in with feet. I hate to bring this up but sometimes it seems like all Asian people know some form of martial arts. It is like it is ingrained into their genes or something.

Wow
This is definitely one of my favorite Kings Of Leon songs, and Natasha has made it her own. She is truly awesome.
Goodbye 2000's, this is some of the music you introduced me to, thank you pt. 1
So we are headed into a new decade, time has come to look back at the things that we have done this past decade. I have to decide to do some post about some of the music that I can to know and love this decade. I will start with some of my favorite music in this first.
Bloc Party
Banquet
This is the first song of theirs that I heard, and from this moment on I was enthralled. This is a truly complete no one person truly dominates this band. While Kele and Russell definitely stand out, Gordon and Matt always hold their own. They make songs that just live you and you identify. You may not always know exactly what Kele is talking about but you always feel it.
One More Chance
Bat For Lashes
Whats a girl to do?
When I first heard this song I was drawn into. Natasha just hypnotize you with her voice in this. Bat For Lashes has that very eceltic sound that I love. Natasha seems to draw her songs from the spirits of nature around her and it definitely works.
Daniel
(Not the real video but still awesome).
Yeah Yeah Yeahs
Maps
Hearing the Yeah Yeah Yeahs can bring out so many different emotions in a person. This song will definitely pull some of them out of you. Karen O's voice is spectacular and to me Brian Chase is one of the best drummers ever.
Down Boy
Asian Kung-Fu Generation
Rewrite
The fist time I heard this band was while I was watching one of my favorite animes. There was just something about their sound. I can honestly say that I still have no idea what a lot of their songs are about or even what they mean in English, but that has not stopped me from listening to them. Hearing Masafumi GotÅ scream in Japanese can be kind of awesome at times. Oh yeah they have a pretty good drummer in Kiyoshi Ijichi
After Dark
Linkin Park
Faint
This is the music that I listen to when I want to do something hype. If I was about to get into a fight I would want some Linkin Park to be. They always bring the energy. Chester just knows how to scream at people.
Place For My Head
(I could see a riot breaking out during this song)
Kings Of Leon
On Call
I just started listening to Kings Of Leon but they are definitely in my top five for groups of the decade. Their sound is so revolutionary. It comes from so many different places. There is definitely a little bit of everything in there. If you like it soft they can bring it soft or they can bring it hard if you need them to. And "Closer" is one of the greatest songs I have ever heard.
Closer
Silversun Pickups
Lazy Eye
Just starting listening to them a week ago. I have been wondering to myself how I neglected them. They get some comparison to Nirvana and I definitely see it. They pretty much have everything that you need. Including one of the greatest and most intense drummers I have ever heard Christopher Gualano. I have yet to hear a bad song from them, and it feels like I may not hear one.
Rusted Wheel
The Royal We
I may have posted one of this videos before but I felt like I needed to again, this band is awesome to the max.
Three Days Grace
Animal I Have Become
Another that when you hear them you want to do something insane. This is one of the many bands that I was introduced through anime and manga. This is one of those bands that knows how to scream you.
One X
And so ends part one, part two maybe coming over the weekend. So my question to you is what were your bands of the decade?
