EXO's Wolf MV and Support Rant

What better gift can an Exotic recive than that of waking up to Exo's Comeback just as it's uploaded!?  Ive had the honor of waking up to my favorite 12 singing/dancing aliens. This video shows just how much they've matured and broadend their talents. This was definatley worth the wait.

The tree structure they made in the beginning was amazing, especially with the beastly floor scratching. All the jumping/leaping and intricate moves boost the power behind their comeback. Also the fact that all the members sing in both versions reminds us that they are one! A lot of fans say that Kai's cornrows aren't very appealing. Id have to disagree, unique hair styles come with the job when you're a k-pop idol. I think it makes him look semi native in some scenes, he can really pull it off!

Ill admit I've stumbled upon the leaked version all those months ago, and I actually liked it. But the release of the official version made me fall in love with the song. This song is equally proportioned in singing, rapping, and unique music twists. The harmonizing was lovely! I admire the fact that there isn't any seductive moves purposely put in the dance, like almost any other male dance. Their moves are almost like interpret dance.

The CG wolves rising from the human formed caves was soooo cool! And might I say Suho Gramps has turned into one sexy leader, all the members have a new found swag! Almost all the guys are wear a sleeveless shirt at some point in the video. Oh, and a few have their nails painted, which I feel adds to the concept since most wolves have dark claws, no?

Well I have nothing but support for these boys, I've been with them since the rumours of M1 and M2. I see such great potential with them and I can only hope they stay together in years to come. EXO Fighting! We are one!

And so we beat on, Boats against the current...

        So last night my older sister and I attended the movies to see The Great Gatsby. I was sooooo stoked to see it ever since the night I saw the first trailer while reading the first chapter of F. Scott Fitzgerald's novel. The book itself creaked its way into my liking as more understandable events played out. The beginning of the movie, the first ten minutes or so, was truly fast paced. Almost over whelming. I don't ever recall Nick being in a sanitarium, but this could easily become the movie writer's way of making Nick sound less crazy. It added an extra spark to the movie and the relationship I've concluded between Gatsby and Nick. It truly emphasized the point that Nick ultimately adored Gatsby and that they were very close friends.

        There were little things that seemed a bit off as far as comparing it to the book. I finally started to criticize the movie when Meyer Wolfshiem appeared. I was surprised to see him portrayed by a well-known Indian actor, but that's not what got me. Nick observes his Tie Pin, a human molar, and asks Gatsby if Wolfsheim is an Actor. The signature look of Wolfshiem is his molar cuff links, it gave him that eerie questionable gangster status. There was no reason, as far as I could tell, as to why they would change this feature. Another issue was Klipspringer, a mighty curious looking fellow if I might add, was present before I expected. His piano skills are rusty, It shows just how lost innocent talents have become due to his present business. The movie depicted him as an energetic man, in love with his music. I would have absolutely loved to have heard him perform "A'int We Got Fun" like the book. That was another problem I had, Im not a big fan of the music strung  through the film, I didn't completely detest it but I would have rather heard some good 'ol Jazz Age music!

        The thing that really got me, almost made me stand and protest, was that Mr. Gatz (Gatsby's Father) didn't make an appearance in the movie. The whole significance of the "Hop Along Cassidy" book was missing in the events. I felt as though it was a very meaningful aspect of Gatsby. The whole ending was truly dramatized to the point where I was in tears, I mean I was tearing up at the end of the book too! Id have loved to of seen the funeral played out, give him his final scene. But like my sister said, "Gatsby died happy. He died thinking Daisy was calling him, the one thing he wanted." Which was true, that made me feel a bit happier. The ending with Nick's final words had me silently sobbing! It emphasized just how unfair Gatsby's end was... Old Sport.

This be my intro...

           Well I guess its time to create a legitimate blog, one that displays just what exactly I do. People always ask what I'm into and what I plan to do with my skills. To tell you the truth I want to do so many things that I'd probably be in college most of my life. Its all about art, that is my rock and I plan to do so many things with it. From working for Disney to owning my own tattoo parlor, I guess you could say I have a pretty full plate!
