(*how*) I got Boyced, BABY!

Today is 4 years since Boyce Avenue posted their very first video on YouTube. It was an acoustic cover by The Goo Goo Dolls – Before It’s Too Late.

In Honor of the amazing 3 brothers, Fabian, Daniel,and Alejandro, let’s take a peek at how they’ve been doing so far.

Pic 'borrowed' from the Boyce Avenue Street Team America Facebook page - https://www.facebook.com/BoyceAvenueStreetTeamAmerica

When you think about those numbers… The YouTube/Facebook phenomena everybody is talking about starts to be defined within the grasp of everyone’s understanding.

Since I posted this a few minutes ago on the BAST America fan page, and a couple of groups, filled with awesome people, I think it’s only fair I should post this cute little story on my blog, also. Yes, it’s time

Letter for love.

Dear _____________,

 

You don’t know this, but you are the man I will one day fall in love with. We will meet unexpectedly, maybe on a street, or in a coffee shop, or perhaps in theater or at a bookstore, for I very much like both and I hope you like them too. We will talk at first about random things, and exchange numbers and Facebook info. Then we’ll get to know each other casually. We may forget about each other for a time, maybe a week or month or longer, but then we’ll see a status we HAVE to comment on and we’ll remember.

 

But probably, we won’t forget each other at all, and we’ll talk at the beginning. We’ll realize how much we have in common, and after we get our courage mustered up, we’ll go on a date. It will either be a disaster or totally awesome, but no matter what, it’ll be memorable. So we’ll go on that date, and we’ll call each other and talk afterwards.

 

I hope that we aren’t only romantic companions in the beginning, but best friends too. We’ll be able to tell each other everything, laugh when we want to, and cry when it’s needed. Memories will be made, and it’ll be wonderful. We’ll fight, but we’ll make up and get over it sooner or later. Because that’s what people do when they truly fall in love… they say they’re sorry. Love doesn’t mean you never have to say sorry (like the movie “Love Story” claims), love means you have to say you’re sorry A LOT.

 

We’ll be pretty amazing, you and I. I’ll accept your differences, and you’ll accept mine. I can’t wait to see you, and know you, and realize that I’ve finally found someone who loves who I am, despite my craziness. Maybe… you’ll even love my craziness. That would be truly wonderful.

 

I know you’ll probably have girlfriends before me, and that’s fine. We’re human, I’m cool with that. Will I have a boyfriend before you? I really don’t know. I don’t see myself with someone else. I see myself with you, and only you. I want to hold out for you, because I want you to be my only. But if I have a boyfriend before you, don’t be mad. It’s just practice!

 

I just want you to know before we meet, that I care about you. I hope you’re doing well right now, and I only want the best for you. Do what you want to in life, and don’t settle. Just remember, save some of your adventures for us, all right? And believe me, we’ll have many of them.

 

I can’t wait to meet you darling. And I know it’ll happen. I just have to wait, and God will make things work out. So, I guess the most important thing to tell you before I close, is this:

 

I love you. No matter how much we may fight, no matter what happens to either of us, I love you.

 

I’ll meet you, darling. I don’t know when, and I don’t know where, but I’ll meet you one day. So be yourself, and live a happy life until then.

 

So, take care doll… and God’s speed to us.

 

With my deep affection,

Lexxa

Vlad Dracula – the real legend behind the myth

ok, here you go … don’t hate me for knowing my vamps…. I put this together for a friend of mine-also called Vlad-, and then posted it on my message board. and wish to post it here too, because I find it relevant to cultivating culture and I find that those who read this realize that Abraham Stoker was just another novelist and all he wrote about Dracula was FICTION. here it goes…

Lexxa			[-]

Vlad, Vlad the Impaler is also Count Dracula (because he was part of the order of the dragon and thanks to bram stoker ) – i think you guys know the story, right?

Bram Stoker made the legend of dracula notorious, and he made Vlad the Impaler notorious and vey well known, not for his ways of punishing his enemies, but for the fact he was supposed to be “the devil” (as he was part of the dragon order, and in romanian mythology the dragon looks completely different-> hell-like) , even if the real character was based on the story of Elizabeth Batory , the bulgarian countess that used to bathe in maiden blood because she thought it would preserve her youth, or so the legend goes.

Dracula by Bram Stoker is the one who made the name of Dracula and The Irish writer Bram Stoker is the one who made the name of Dracula and Transilvania world famous. The young writer decided to use an unusual theme for that time in a new gothic novel and this is how the first (published) novel about vampires was born. He based his novel on research not only in the field of vampirism but also on historical research.

Therefore it seems the character he used for inspiration is a Hungarian countess-named Elizabeth Battory-who became notorious for her crimes. The stories say she used to bathe in maidens blood because she thought this would preserve her youth. Although Elizabeth Battory was cruel enough, Stoker decided he needed a male character for his book and this is how he discovered Prince Vlad Dracula in a book about Transilvania.
The novel itself doesn’t preserve the historical and geographical truth, presenting Dracula as a count and not a prince and also mixing up the actual places in Transilvania but it managed, this way, to make the name of Dracula notorious.

History-the true story The prince Vlad Dracula, named this way after his father, was born and lived until the age of four in Sighisoara, one of the fortress cities in Transilvania. The name of Dracula he inherited from his father who, for his battles against the Turks, became part of the “Dragon” knighthood order as “defender of the Christianity”. This symbol of the Dragon he wore ever since gave him the name of “Dracul” (Devil) because in the Romanian mythology the Dragon looks completely different. So everybody thought this Mark of the Dragon looked more closely to the devil. The different ending in his name (Dracul-Dracula) means in Romanian “son of “..So Dracula can be translated with “Son of the devil”. Albeit this name, after he became Ruler of Valahia himself, Vlad received the nickname “Tepes” (the Impeller) because of his favorite way of punishing the enemies. Although cruel, for the Romanians he became a hero, because of the battles he won against the Turks and also due to his fair ruling.

my point is that Dracula, the vampire is pure fictional, and yes, it is connected to the real ruler, but only on a fictional part

the real Vlad Dracul was part of the “Dragon Order” (said earlier) and was known for impalling thiefs and enemies…

and history one 101 ends here. sorry… geeky self showing again ><

(i will post an essay about the REAL FACTS of the history if you wish to read them….)

Great job, Lex! Your post is very well documented, that is the truth about the story behind Vlad the Impaler. No, he was not a vampire, yes, he was a hero for the Romanian people. Nowadays, we need another one like him, there’s too much corruption going on here. Please post the essay.

Madonna, Me and You

Hello,

Madonna has spoken out in response to the Malawi court ruling that sent two men to prison for the “crime” of homosexuality.

I just added my name to hers to pledge my support for all people to have the freedom to love. I was hoping you would join me and add your name too:

http://www.raisingmalawi.org/AddYourName

Madonna’s statement on Malawi Court Ruling:

“I am shocked and saddened by the decision made today by the Malawian court, which sentenced two innocent men to prison.

As a matter of principle, I believe in equal rights for all people, no matter what their gender, race, color, religion, or sexual orientation.

This week, Malawi took a giant step backward. The world is filled with pain and suffering; therefore, we must support our basic human right to love and be loved.

I call upon the progressive men and women of Malawi — and around the world — to challenge this decision in the name of human dignity and equal rights for all.”

Thanks again.

Being friends with gay people of both sexes I have come to realize that they are not any different from us. They just have different taste when it comes to sexuality. It’s THEIR BUSINESS and theirs ALONE whom they sleep with and/or want to share their life with. NOT the government and not the rest of the country’s.
As heterosexuals we always make a big deal out of PRIVACY and RIGHTS. Where are the rights and privacy of gay people?? Have they not the right to live and breathe and work and so on and so forth in any community at all? they ARE HUMANS JUST LIKE THE REST OF US.

This is a plea for everyone to stop for a second and think. How would you feel if you were in the same position? or how would you feel if you were discriminated based on your skin color, race, gender or sexuality? How would you feel about being sent to jail for being a heterosexual?

I do not expect everyone to sign the petition, and I am sorry for (possibly) offending some of you. It is not my intent.
Alas, I would be grateful if you would pass this on to others, even without signing the petition in the link above.

Gay people are people too. I rest my case.

Cheers and many thanks,
Lexxa~
