I love classic Rock n Roll......of course I'm not an expert or something in the old rock eras, but I'm always open to trying out new 'oldie' bands or artists.
One thing always bugs me and that is the bashing of my choices in Rock by people who claim that the bands/artists I like are not true rockers as compared to artists like Cradle of Filth, Slayer, Iced Earth and the like.
Now heavy metal is popular sub-genre of rock, I completely agree with it. It has its own fan following but its certainly not for me! I get headaches from listening to artists like these. But I always feel annoyed when fans of this genre keep whining that heavy metal artists are "the gods of rock" and artists I prefer and love are bullshit!
While my tolerance for heavy metal is low.....I do like some goth based and light metal songs. I've developed a slight interest in 'shock rock' recently but that's also not as much as I like ordinary hard rock bands!
For most who don't know my preference here's a list of artists/bands I enjoy listening to:
Bon Jovi (my ultimate favourite....deserves a separate post....will add later!)
Led Zeppelin (unquestionably my 2nd favourite band)
The Who (newest 'oldie' to my ever growing list of favourites)
Kiss
Van Halen
Scorpions
Deep Purple
Eric Clapton (he's one of my mum's fave artists....grew up listening to most of his songs!)
Janis Joplin
Jimi Hendrix
Def Leppard
The Rolling Stones
Aerosmith
Creedance Clearwater Revival
Skid Row (older songs mostly...when Sebastian Bach was still in the band)
Poison
Cinderella
Ratt
FireHouse
Roxette
Heart
Rainbow
Eagles (also coz of my mum!)
Red Hot Chili Peppers(only alt.rock band like)
Evanescence(only new band I like)
and a host more I can't recollect now......
Bands I'd like to try (within the next month) include: INXS, Sex pistols, Twisted Sister, Tesla and I want to try more of Black Sabbath songs.
I also like independent works by any artist associated with any band I like...most fave being works of Richie Sambora (Bon Jovi) and Robert Plant (Led Zeppelin).
My mother's been a huge influence on my taste in the oldies. I grew up, like I mentioned listening to Eric Clapton, Phil Collins, Elton John, Tina Turner, Eagles, BeeGees, The Police and Rod Stewart to mention a few. I do like some songs by these artists (and more!) and have a soft spot for them even though I'm not a hard-core fan except perhaps for Clapton!
As mentioned before I like some Marilyn Manson and Alice Cooper songs (hence the credit of slightly liking shock rock!) but I'm certainly not a big fan!
To the contrary I don't like Guns and Roses very much (owing to the fact that Axl Rose's disposition makes me sick...though I admire Slash's guitaring skills...) or Nirvana (Kurt Cobain is over-rated to the max!) as they have enough fans around the world and won't miss my support very much! Most rock fans list them either seperately or together when they give their faves list......so its surprising I guess not to find them in mine.
The Beatles on the other hand...I'm not sure....I like some of their songs...but I'm not a huge fan of them! I prefer the Rolling Stones over them anyday!
Guess its enough rambling about this.....gotta grab something to eat. Adios!
I do not think of myself as masochistic.....au contraire, the least association I have with pain the better! But sometimes I've seen myself to be attracted to...well to put it in the word of some of my friends (2 names particularly come to mind!) 'some serious baddies!'
This holds true for fictional characters till now......havent personally met a 'baddie' in real life till now! Though some corner of my heart wishes to meet one.....but I have absolutely no idea how I'd react....whether I'd be afraid of such a guy or not!
Honestly, there is something so absolutely sexy about a badass character. Basically I like their defiance of social norms.....appeals to my rebel instinct. Also they're never afraid to speak their mind....and physically there's something very appealing in the psychotic behaviour of a real 'baddie'
Speaking of baddies........I've lately been obsessed over William Fichtner (mentioned earlier in some posts), not only coz he's a fantastic actor but also coz he plays some seriously troubled characters in his TV n film credits.
I'm not talking only about Alexander Mahone in 'Prison Break', though it was coz of this show that I found myself attracted to him. Season 3 had Mahone at his best. A Sweaty, Dirty, Masculine, Sexy Junkie with tons of personality and sex appeal.....wht's not to like? ;)
Though I found myself in love with one of his older characters called Law in a very old movie directed by Kevin Spacey (yes...another actor playing seriously disturbed characters! Cool guy though!) called Albino Alligator.
God that man (Law) can give me chills and thrills at the same time. Is he sexy or is he? William Fichtner plays him so deliciously that I found myself longing for a situation where I can be face to face with a man like him (of course it'll help if he has all of Mr. Fichtner's characteristics from his perfectly toned body to his lovely angular face and his gorgeous just-a-look-can-make-you-melt blue eyes!). Of course I'd be scared as hell......coz men like this usually have an unpredictable temper but that I guess is the appeal of it.
There's something super thrilling and enchanting in facing a dangerous man of that calibre, especially since you don't know what'll happen. (A sexually charged atmosphere would be an additional bonus though ;) hehehe)
An additionl thought did pop up in my head(after reading a no. of messages in fan forums) that if Mr.Fichtner were given the role of Theodore Bagwell instead of Alex Mahone.....would he play him with that same degree of psychotic sex appeal that he shows us when he plays Law?
Ponder over that........till then take care! :)
Ok, the life of a student is always filled with the tension of exams.......mine are too especially since the said exams are in less than 4 days!
Time to start hitting the panic button.
And it doesnt help a bit if the scoring at the practicals should be really, really high for you to pass on and give the theoritical exam!
So as in the life of a typical student during the exam week, mine too are filled with sleepless nights, hurried practical practice during the days and catching a few winks when I can manage. To top everything off I'm sick! The brilliance of it all never ceases to amaze me! Everytime I have some important exam...a snivelling little 'flu virus comes creeping along and enters my system to cause all the havoc it can. Now its enjoyin its stay in my body (till my immune system fights it off!), while I'm suffering the consequences.....i.e, studying difficult medical subjects with a blocked nose, throat irritation, headaches and slight temperature!
Honestly speaking the only thing keeping me sane at this time n not lose it completely (read here as my temper only!) is music (thank God for classic bands! ) and, u'll never guess it, William Fichtner!!!
Now how did William Fichtner come into the picture, I honestly don't know. I just know that everytime I can spare a few minutes online I'm checking out fichtner_firsthand, a yahoo group dedicated to him, for pictures and stuff. Somehow I've managed to find my latest crush. That man is as hot as it can get!
(Guess I should shift this part to the "Men in my Life" section ;) hehehe)
Anyway I hope he proves to be my lucky rabbit foot or my 4-clover leaf and gives me good luck for my exams!
Later then.... :)
This section, aptly named "Men of my life" will feature anything, about any man I find attractive, at any time. If this section presents itself more rampantly in my blog ......I just blame it to my raging hormones and sometimes to my slightly (?) over-functional limbic system!
Now to start the 1st post with an intro!
Those who are very close to me know a few snippets about my taste in men.......and those who don't have any idea here's a list of some of the qualities I appreciate in men:
Good personality.....should be assertive (wimps get outta the door)......should have a good sense of humor....should be able to parry with me during my sarcastic spells.....should be understanding of eccentricities.......should be a good and witty conversationist....should be respectful.......should allow me to dominate him in some cases ;)...... n stuff like that!
Saying all this physical appearance doesnt hold a lot of appeal for me unless the qualities I appreciate show up in it and give the man that unique radiance which will make me notice him.
Many would be surprised to know that I generally like older men, given some of my crushes (will be mentioned sooner than later n countless times I guess!!) are a minimum of 12-15 yrs older than me! Seriously I cannot find guys closer to my age attractive.....dont know why....
Now some psychologists will start analysing about some 'primordial desire to have fatherly affection' aka the sugar-daddy symptom......or liking older men coz they have more money or something......I'd very rudely ask them to stuff it up their...ahem! u get the point.
I genuinely like older men for what they are....maybe I find that they are more considerate and respectful to a young girl, treat them like they're special! Then again that's just me.
Also there is a certain thing I'd like to make clear.......I'm not a romantic.....I'm not into committments and stuff like that......neither am I into playing the field. I'm generally not interested in the opposite sex just for the sake of it.....
I mean I do like guys, think they're attractive and stuff but for that to happen the guy has to meet a very high personal standard which I have.
Truth be told I don't think many men my age would find me attractive (read here only as not having a sexy model's body! The thing inside my skull more than makes up for but you know guys.....*sigh*) .....but I guess once a guy reaches a certain age he doesn't tend to go only on the physical aspect of a woman! (my living daydream....though I guess its true in some cases!)
Anyway I think for an intro this is way too much.....will be back soon with a special article about one of my...er...lets just say 'kinks' soon! ;)
The sole reason for me being awake and typing this nonsense is : Our hostel does not have cold water supply since the last few hours.
Now before anyone starts wondering what's that got to do with anything I'll explain: No cold water means no regulation of hot water in our showers, which means that unless we want our skin to undergo some artificial 'molting', we can't take a late shower before sleeping. And I cannot sleep without a late shower! So to overcome this dilemma, I had to take hot water in a tub and keep it standing near an open window in our kitchen for it cool down to at least room temperature (its around 2 degrees below zero outside!)...and I'm still waiting for it to cool down!!!
Life is so cruel...I really wanted to sleep early today 'cause I haven't slept properly for the last 2 and half days but thanks to this idiotic situation I can't sleep early (it's almost 2:00am now!!)
The joys of hostel life! I seriously wonder how people can tell all this shit about their times in various hostels as some of the best in life. I much prefer being home in my own room, with my comfy bed, 24 hrs cold water, cheap & unlimited internet and more intelligent people to talk to.
Seriously more than half of the people I know here have quite poor understanding about so many things. There are so many people who are so materialistic; they just want to be doctors for the money...I mean I get laughed at for saying something like I want to be a good doctor for the sake of treating people, money for me is secondary! I have a guy who's studying with me; he's only in this profession for the money. There's another who's just waiting till we start our rounds in gynaecology! LOL....guess he's imagining beautiful, naked russian women who'll just swoon over him and ask him for diagnosis! I really don't feel like bursting his bubble. Undergrads have zero chance of even touching a patient in examinations! Besides most women who have gynaecological problems are those approaching menopause, and most of them in Russia are obese and absolutely not physically attractive! Oh well....it's his imagination.....I don't have anything else to tell him.
Speaking of Russian women.....I have never seen guys so girl-crazy as I see the guys here....they just go after russian girls like flies after honey....I mean even some of my guy friends from back home want photos of 'Russian babes!'
Its as if there are no other girls in the world more attractive than these girls here!!!! Crazy!
Oh I better check if my water's cooled down or not.....I'll write more about this topic later....
G'night!!!!
The idea of keeping a journal has never been quite so appealing. Frankly speaking....I'm just too damn lazy to write regular updates when most information are best kept to my head and spoken verbally if need be. But since I like trying things which I haven't done before, I will try maintaining a journal, though I can't promise that there'll be regular updates to it.....but whenever there are I'm sure that there'll be some really interesting things in them. I'll try my best not to make it like a typical journal or blog with mostly a 3rd person's point of view about random topics; and I hope that there'll be very few entries about social, political and other issues (I have other blogs for them). I just want this to be the written version of what is going on in my head at that particular moment, so don't be surprised if you find some recurring themes, some really unrelated stuff or some extremely explicit stuff in some of my entries! That's just me!
Cheers and happy reading (you've been warned though!!!) :)
