The latest tragic loss.

Rest In Peace, Whitney Houston.

I'll never forget growing up listening to her classics. Definitely a devastating moment.

Where was Whitney's friends and family when it came to her addiction? Why did she not seek treatment, having all the money in the world?

It's pretty amazing how tragedies like this one truly open your eyes and make you realize that happiness is not found in fame and fortune. Instead, one must bring it upon him or her self to figure out where to find this happiness in order to achieve longevity.

There is only one success-to spend your life in your own way.

Talent at its best!

If this isn't talent, i don't know what is! Sorry Cody Simpson, but this kid is the real deal! haha. jk. but for real. i have this on repeat. Whitney Houstin is a classic, and the fact that this kid can belt out like it's nothing, i KNOW he'll go very, very far! Let's go Jack Vidgen! You've got my support!

Fire Degeneres?

So everybody has seen that Ellen is the new spokesperson for JCPenny and there has been a lot of controversy as to whether she should be terminated due to her homosexuality. I have just one thing to say on the matter: If a "customer" decides to boycott JCPenny because of a homosexual spokeswoman, then that person is somebody not worthy of having as a customer. Personally, if i owned a clothing store, i wouldn't want an ignorant representing my store through MY clothes. So for all of you haters out there. BYE. Wal*Mart is just around the corner.

Live and Let Live! effin aye!

"Don't judge me!"

I've been thinking and wondering:
why are people so obsessed with others "judging" you?
i'm not going to lie, i am guilty as charged when it comes to the cliche' "don't judge me!" line.
but if you think about it, why does it matter what the other person thinks anyway?
I believe that those people who have the nerve to bring it upon themselves to criticize others, when they aren't so perfect themselves, don't deserve any sort of credibility in opinions. just a thought.

lets face it. nobody is perfect!

Be real. Be yourself. Be happy.

Inbox me!

Sooo: i've noticed on facebook that people sometimes post on others wall/timeline saying "inbox me" or something along the lines.. wouldn't it just make more sense to inbox THEM first and ask whatever you want? just sayin...

Why are snapback baseball caps suddenly so popular?

I'm almost positive they've been around for decades!

You a stupid hoe?

There is no doubt that Nicki Minaj is a smart woman with a unique sense of style. She is indeed a talented woman, and "Pink Friday" is a great album altogether. Personally, I'm a huge fan of a lot of her work. She has written so many deep and inspiring lyrics. Although I just saw the video for her latest single "Stupid Hoe" for the first time. I have to admit, it's not exactly the best work she's done. The song and video is completely ridiculous to say the least, and I'm not necessarily impressed! She's had so many inspiring songs in the past, such as "Moment 4 life" and "Fly" and suddenly coming out with something titled "stupid hoe" is a shocking, and drastic change of style! In my opinion, sounds trashy and probably not something i would enjoy listening to in the car. Sorry Nicki! hope the rest of your sophomore album, "Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded", has some more refined tracks! Still looking forward to it though!

Favorite song!

I just have to say this out loud:
im absolutely obsessed with the song Marvin's Room! I just love it's sound, and the message it sends. its pretty intense! Im not sure who was the first one to come out with that song, but there has to be at least 5 different versions of it by different artists, and they're ALL so good! you all have to check them all out! Personally, i can't stop listening to them! haha! My top favorite ones, in no specific order are: Drake, Jojo, Cody Simpson, Conor Maynard, and Chris Brown!

Why do people waste their time hatin?

So everyone knows Miss Rebecca Black is one of the most hated singers out there. Little do people know that every single one of your views, makes her just a little richer. ;) so no matter what people think, she's living her dream, & she's swimming in benjamin's! So just give it a rest. Have respect!

Live and Let Live.

I was born to survive

Theres this small town called Orofino. The home of the backstabbing snakes with friendly grins.
I'm not referring to the entire population of Orofino, because i admit some of the best friends i can ask for are native to the town, but for the most part: everyone here is fake. I don't necessarily blame the town, just a fraction of the residents. I willingly admit that I've made a lot of friends in Orofino, and for the most part I liked it. But I've also met the most detestable of people I could ever imagine. I often think about how many times ive been fucked over by my so-called "friends" here: countless times! I used to care what people said about me. I used to care what peoples' prospective of me was. I used to care whether i was accepted or not. Finally, i found a place within myself, where i accepted myself for who i was. Pleasing other people was no longer in my interests. After years and years of trying to "fit in" and lure people into accepting me, it took me to places i never wanted to be in.  Places i never plan on returning to. After realizing the kind of people i was surrounded by, i knew i had to learn to not care about anyone other than myself.  I realized that by changing who i was, i was being just as bad as they were. I'm done trying to please other people around me, when I, myself, am unhappy. When i started to reveal who i really was. People didn't like that Diego very much! But who am i? Who is Diego? One of the most difficult questions i've ever had to answer. That answer has taken me nearly twenty years to figure out, and truly, still figuring out. But that's life, right? Figuring yourself out. So back to the question of who am i? I am exactly what this world made me. I can sum it up in one word: Scared. Scared to be myself. Scared to open up. Scared to trust others. I grew up in a society of conformity where if you were any different from the other people in the slightest way, you were officially the "freak" of the crowd. That lead me to feel a lot of resentment towards myself, because i knew i was indeed, different from the others. But why me? why was i the unlucky one? The lack of acceptance from my peers was something i would not settle for, thus trying to change who i was in order to be respected. That's right, not to make friends, not to meet people, but for the simple respect. I started becoming a more angry,  bitter, resentful, and hateful person. I didn't want to be like that, but that's what people brought out of me. I can never forget the bitter rage that overtook my being every time a malicious remark came my way. Everyone would point out how much of a "dick" i was being when I began too speak my mind. I always said what i thought without the acknowledgement of others feelings. Nobody took mine in consideration, so i figured, why should i? I am now at the point where i honestly don't care what people have said, are saying or will say about me, because i know who i am, and im NOT changing. So as far as these Orofino people go, I wish you all successful life. Because I believe that  in the end that's everyone's ultimate goal in order to achieve happiness, and hopefully, having a life full of contentment will lead to peace among the community. I would like to thank everyone who has ever entered my life, both the good and the bad, for helping shape and mold the person i am today because every, "faggot," "homo," "douchebag," and "fatass" that came my way, made me become a stronger person. I am now able to handle whatever the world has to throw at me. Additionally, i would also like to thank everyone who left my life. I'm a huge believer in forgive, but never forget. Long story short: I came to win. to fight. to conquer. to thrive. i came to win. to survive. to prosper. to RISE.

Diego Barragan.

Why do people cover songs in the bathroom?

So i've always been one to search for random youtube singers because i like to see what else there is outside of the celebrity world. A lot of people like to make covers of popular songs, and post them on youtube and try to get famous.

So.. one question: Why tape yourself singing in the bathroom? 

It's gonna be really attractive if you end up on Ellen and there's a toilet or a shower curtain in the background!

Long story short: you most likely sound the same both in and out of the bathroom! 

confidence is key

"I Hate Drama"

This one is inspired by a facebook friend, thanks Mikaela!

So I find so much hilarity in people who constantly like to post about how they hate their town, and there's sooo much drama! Wah wah wah! And ironically, those people are the ones who are constantly found wrapped up in all the drama! If not creating it, then feeding into it. I for one, have NEVER been caught up in any drama that I, myself, didn't ask for. So for those of you who hate drama, here's a tip: either A: quit complaining about drama, or B: simply quit condoning it! It's that simple. :)

I don't really like drama either! and i've never complained because i've always stayed out of it's way!

Long story short: Hate drama? stay out of its course. :)

ignorance is bliss.

Sincerely, Diego.

A message to the rude.

In response to this facebook status:

As many people seem to be astounded by this natural phenomenon called "snow" here's a little scoop about it. Living here in Idaho, I've learned that snow falls from the sky during times of cold weather.. like winter! basically, every year snow falls from thy sky leaving this white, powdery water particles and painting the town white. Long story short, this "snow" can have many cons to its existence, the main one being freezing roads, causing them to be exceptionally slick during the winter season. Thus provoking loss of vehicle control, and leading to collisions among multiple cars. I've learned through past experience, that losing control of a vehicle can be quite frightening, and things can be beyond your control. One can never predict when such event can occur, and as much as one can try to prevent it, there is no guarantee that no accident can take place at any given moment.
In fact, just recently, my sister happened to have lost control of her vehicle, due to slick roads, and running into a guard rail, and damaging the side of her car preventing her from even being able to open the passenger door more than 2 inches. That being said, I'm not saying that my sister is dumb, or incapable of operating a vehicle, but like i said, things can get beyond your control at anytime. So when people are sitting there calling others names, such as idiot, "dumbass" etc, and telling people to learn to drive in the snow, they better pray to God that they're not the next fortunate ones to have something unfortunate occur to them. nobody is perfect, and nobody but God, is God. With that, i rest my case.

Respect, Love, Peace,

Diego Barragan.
