Change

A couple weeks ago, I was going through the HBO channels to see what was going to be on and I saw a movie entitled Groove was going to be on after midnight. Curious as to what it could be about, I hit the information button and it described it as a movie that takes place in a rave in San Fran.

Now long before I knew who Deee-Lite was there was always a sort of club culture that I always said I would rather be a part of than the clubs I see. I don't know how much the club culture has changed since the days of Deee-Lite or if it just depends on where you live, but I have been to one club in my life and aside from the fact that it was a lousy experience, I just can't picture a club like that or clubs that you see people like Paris Hilton going to playing music like Deee-Lite or house or techno or whatever. The whole atmosphere just seems completely different. As I got more informed on Deee-Lite, I realized, despite the fact that Dewdrops in the Garden is my least favorite album by them, that it is actually the rave culture I have been interested in.

Watching Groove further proved my point. I was too young when the rave scene started (which itself is a bit hard to judge; many people say it was 1998 to 2000 and something, but Deee-Lite was part of the rave scene, so it had to have started before that), so whether the movie was acurate or not is not my call; however, I thought it was a pretty cool movie. And that song at the end of the rave, "Heaven Scent" by John Digweed, was unbelievable. It gave me the chills from head to toe.

In other news, I wish people would start leaving things the way they were. Change can be good, when it is actually beneficial. I have been using McAfee Site Advisor for some time now and last night, it update to version 2.9.242 and needless to say, it is awful. Completely horrible. I thought it installed last night and when I came on under my XP account today, it gave me the message that it upgraded and the EULA and if I agreed to it or not. I hit yes and another Firefox window opened thanking me for upgrading....and then the EULA message came up again. So I hit I accept once again and a Firefox window opens up again, thanking me for upgrading. And then the EULA agreement comes up again. Figuring it had something to do with being under a limited account, I switched over to the Adminstrative account. Same problem. I ended up having to uninstall it. I am going to try installing it again, but I don't know what I am going to do if I have the same problem. I am extremely disappointed because I really liked using it. I don't know how reliable it was, but I felt safer surfing with it. Why can no one ever keep things the way they were?

Just like Adidas. I used to love their shoes that resembled Sambas, but they were white and had colored stripes. I think they are called Superstar. I lived in them in high school. I had a pink pair and blue pair. Lady Miss Kier has a pair on in the second picture. I had an almost, if not completely, identical pair. I tried to look for a new pair and all I can find is pure white ones. I don't want pure white. White and I do not mesh well together; whenever I wear all white, stains are magnetized to me. I have no idea how I can ever get married in a white wedding dress. I am going to have to wear a black dress, even though I have more of a right to wear a white dress than probably 95% of the American public. I also found a pair of Superstars in Lady Foot Locker that are quite frankly one of the ugliest pair of shoes I have ever seen. They had multi-colored stripes and were splattered from front to back with little multi-colored Adidas logos. When you turned them over to look at the sole, it was clear and there were more little multi-colored Adidas logos. They were so hideous, they were beautiful. I immediately fell in love with them and want to buy them.

Speaking of white, I was surprised one day reading the newspaper to find out how many fellow white people find the term "cracker" extremely offensive. I think it's funny as hell.
