Happy Birthday, Kurt & Brian!

Filed Under Birthday, Musicians | Leave a Comment

Today, it would be Kurt Cobain’s 43rd birthday (what a big age for someone that will look 27 forever, right?). Anyway, a little background story of how I started liking Nirvana. Back in my younger years, before he even died, my older friends were fans of his and I always knew who he was, then, in 2001, at school I sat beside a guy that even dressed and cut his hair like Kurt and he was always telling me to listen to Nirvana. You Know You’re Right was on every radio station and every TV chanel, and I really liked it. I listened to some songs and listened AGAIN the ones I already knew and liked. But it wasn’t until 2003 that I finally made some research and called myself a fan for the first time, so… I’ve been a fan for 7 years, even though I’ve always known and liked Nirvana!.

I’ve read books, seen DVD’s, and own a bunch of their records, one of my walls is dedicated to this band and own lots of merchandise, I simply adore them even though I haven’t listened to their music for a while. I’ve also, read a LOT about Kurt’s death and I totally believe he was murdered and by Courtney (I hate that bitch with all my being). Kurt was twisted indeed, but he wasn’t really suicidal, but it was easy for Courtney to make him look that way.

Anyway, I adore this band and this specific musician with all my heart!.

Today, it’s also Brian Littrell’s 35th birthday (WOW, and I started liking him when he was 23). He was like the love of my life when I was 13 hahaha I still think he’s freaking handsome, and I love his voice and I think I’m going to love him forever haha 12 years and I still like him, that says a lot!. Happy Birthday, Frick!

Loved in 2009

Filed Under Actors, Concerts, Lists, Me, Movies, Musicians, Songs, Videos | 6 Comments

I saw this at my friend Illara’s journal and thought I should do something similar since I tend to love a lot of things in one single year, so here’s a list of things that won my heart on 2009. I shall warn you it’s going to be a LONG list hehe!.

1.- DEAD BY SUNRISE
Obviously, the best about 2009 was Chester’s band Dead By Sunrise. Like I’ve said before, whatever Chester Bennington is in, I’m going to support it and I simply fell for this new band, the music is AMAZING. And I was extremely happy that I finally heard something totally CHESTER. His lyrics, his music, his voice, this was a true work of Chester Bennington, so it’s very special for me!.

2.- RYAN SHUCK
I was never really into Orgy and I never paid that much attention to Julien-K and at first, I thought I wouldn’t like Dead By Sunrise’s other members, ’cause I only cared about Chester, I seriously thought it would be hard for me to like other guys that weren’t Linkin Park. BUT it only took me one interview to love Ryan, he’s so funny and I simply liked him. Plus, I love the interaction in interviews with him and Chester, you can easily see they’re true friends just having fun and that’s amazing.

3.- MIKE SHINODA’S PICTURE
What can I say? I’m loving his style and this picture is simply PERFECT and I fell for it, I can spend minutes staring at it.

4.- TALINDA BENNINGTON
I know she’s not a real celeb. And I don’t normally follow Chester Bennington’s personal life, ’cause after all it should be PERSONAL. But I got a chance to know this lady a little bit more than only from pictures and she’s amazing. I never thought she’d be as nice as she actually is, and I really really liked her.

5.- HE’S JUST NOT THAT INTO YOU (Alex & Gigi)
This movie rocks, I loved it. I totally fell for Alex and Gigi’s relationship since the beginning. How Alex was always true to her even though he seemed to be cruel. I watched it again last night, and I could watch it over and over again. Simply PERFECT!. And it was always good to learn that when a guy wants to see a girl, he’ll make it possible.

6.- TWILIGHT SAGA: NEW MOON
I never thought I would like this movie as much as I did. There was one time in my life that I had a love triangle that I usually compare with these three fictional characters. My personal brand of heroin that I could never resist, and the guy that offered me everything a girl would want and was healthier for me but I always rejected. And this movie reminded me of that time. Specially the line that goes something like “Don’t make me choose, it’s always been him” or something like that.

7.- TAYLOR LAUTNER
If you wonder why I put Taylor and not my RPattz on the list, it’s because I fell for Robert in 2005, not in 2009 heh!. Anyway, I never liked Taylor, never ever… until I saw New Moon. Then I read he was 17 and now I feel like a sinner for lusting after a CHILD haha. I’m still Team Edward though hehe.

8.- ENRIQUE BUNBURY’S CONCERT
It was AMAZING the best concert I’ve ever been in. Even though I had a heartbreaking moment when it was canceled in my city, I got to travel and still see him live and it was totally worth it. He’s an amazing performer and I got to sing my favorite songs along with the man itself. An experience I’ll NEVER forget.

9.- ENRIQUE BUNBURY’S AUTOGRAPH
I’ve never had an autograph in my entire life that I trully treasured. The only three pretty cool autographs I got are Alex Lora’s (from a band called El Tri), Ty Dennis’ (from Riders on The Storm formely The Doors) and this one, but this is the coolest one ’cause I adore Enrique Bunbury and is one of my top favorite artists from all time.

10.- AMERICA VS. ATLANTE MATCH
My favorite soccer team has been America since I was a little kid. I had never seen a match live, I did for the first time this year and it was AMAZING being there in the crowd, shouting things to my team. Specially ’cause I have a crush on one of their players called Memo Ochoa haha!.

11.- CHESTER’S TWEET
Even though he got my twitter name wrong, I really appreciated that he thanked me. It was trully, one of the best days of my life haha I was so incredibly happy I couldn’t believe he knew a ChesterDEAN existed somewhere and it was really really sweet. He made me smile like prolly no one has ever done it.

12.- CHESTERDEAN.NET
Even though the site isn’t that great and sometimes it lacks of interesting content, making it was GREAT and I’ve got to know amazing people and it’s always nice to have a place to go and rant about my favorite things and read about the things my friends likes. So, making this site is part of the things I loved this year.

13.- BIGGER
I don’t have the actual album yet (This is Us) of the Backstreet Boys but I have it on my computer. And I’m simple addicted to the song Bigger. The lyrics reminds me how I could have loved a jekr and still stood by his side because I was in love… like he could dedicate this song to me and fit our relationship haha. Plus, Brian looks freaking adorable in the video and AJ is wearing a Jim Morrison tee. Even though I’d have loved if the video had something to do with the lyrics, that’d had been awesome.

14.- CHESTER’S PLAID SHIRTS
I’m loving that Chester’s wearing plaid shirts again. It brings back the nostalgia when plaid shirts were his favorites around 2001 and I was a brand new fan. It reminds me of the good old times when I was young and found the band that I’d love forever.

15.- FIRE
And finally… the song Fire by Dead By Sunrise. I’ve already made a post about this song and how special it is to me. Back in 2005-ish that I was going through the worst time of my life, Chester Bennington gave me “Let Down” and now, that time changed me, he now gave me “Fire”. And it kind of expresses a lot of things I feel and think. So this year, THIS is MY song and I’m gonna always be grateful with Chester Bennington for always making a special song that would help me cope with my personal demons.

Fake interview with Chester Bennington

Filed Under Me, Musicians, Videos | 9 Comments

Seeing that people actually liked my video of Romeo & Juliet in Modern Times, I decided to post my other videos on the site. This one is a FAKE interview my best friend and I did for Chester’s 32nd birthday.

How did we make it?. Well, it was all my idea (again) I wanted to make a fake interview for a long time, so I looked through ALL my Linkin Park videos and wrote down quotes I could use as answers, I’d also write the name of the video and in what time that line was said (so it would be easier to look for it when I edited the video).

When I got several funny quotes I could use as answers, I thought about the questions, and did a list of questions and their answers. Then my best friend and I recorded ourselves asking the questions (as you can see, my acting sucks). And finally, I sat down, put everything together and here it is. A FAKE interview with Chester Bennington.

PS: I’m really sorry for the ‘nasty’ bits hehe I just HAD to use that video of Chester (you’ll know which one) for humorous purposes. I swear I’m not a groupie kind of fan hehe!. And if you wonder why our talk show is called C&C it’s because our friends knows us both as Chester (me) and Chezter (Benjamin) and our time together is called “C&C day/night/afternoon” etc. Enjoy and let me know what you think!

Linkin Park through the years

Filed Under Me, Musicians, Videos | 15 Comments

Thanks to a twitter conversation today I got really nostalgic. When I started being a fan of Linkin Park a lot of people told me they wouldn’t last and that I shouldn’t waste so much time in them. I never paid attention to those comments. Who would have told me 8 years later I’d be here? loving them still and stronger than ever?.

Today I was about to cry while watching Dead By Sunrise’s performance at the KROQ’s Almost Acoustic Christmas. Why? Because after all these years, I still haven’t had the chance to see Chester Bennington (my biggest idol and influence in my life) live. Because it’s not like I’ve just started following them (specially Chester) and been waiting to see them live for a year or two, if that sounds long to you, try to imagine waiting EIGHT YEARS, that’s long.

When they came to Mexico, I was only 17 years old and my mom thought my love for them wasn’t really that strong to actually pay me a trip to Mexico City, or the concert tickets, plus… I couldn’t go alone and my brother didn’t want to go with me, so I was screwed. I was positive about it, and even though I cried my eyes out and saw the press conference in a complete depression, I hoped they’d come back soon, probably for their next album. Meteora was released, also Minutes To Midnight, and another album is on its way and they haven’t come back.

Back then, when YouTube didn’t exist, we couldn’t see them live like we do now, unless we’d watch shows like the 2$ Bill Concert (which I did on TV) or other live shows like the VMA’s (first one I saw of them was 2001’s). So, when they released Live in Texas was a thrill to me, ’cause I could see them live in a real concert. I watched the DVD every day for MONTHS. I kept thinking they were going to come back some day and I’d be there finally seeing them live. Haven’t happened… obviously!. Now, when I watch that DVD I always end up crying for the amazing memories I got thanks to it (and because I STILL WANT TO SEE THEM LIVE ).

Not long ago, Road to Revolution was released and it was another big fat slap on my face. I watched it in tears, seriously. It’s just too emotional for me to see them live ’cause it’s an experience I’ve always longed to live. Not long ago, a couple of years only, my mom said she was going to pay me tickets to go see them in Canada… never happened, and my heart got crushed since I was already pretty excited. If I want to see them live, I guess I have to travel to the US, which it isn’t so easy ’cause I have to get all my papers like visa and passport and they cost a lot of money, and there’s the possibility they won’t give them to me. And also, they expire in a year, what if I get them and LP doesn’t tour? OR… what if I wait until I hear they’ll make a tour and I don’t get my papers on time? that’s been the story of my life since I’ve been a fan, sad uh?.

And I have to admit I get pretty sad sometimes when I hear new fans, that have liked LP for like a year or two seeing them live all the time. It’s like it isn’t fair, I’ve spent YEARS of my life working devotedly on my sites, spreading the love for this amazing band and I’m stuck on my boring town seeing other people living my dream. I’m happy for them but I’m not happy for me hehe.

People always tell me I’m gonna see them someday, that all my hard work and dedication will pay back. But you know what? after so many years, I don’t even want to get my hopes high, I’ve been crushed and let down for so long it really hurts.

And I’m still amazed of how fast time flies. I’ve known Linkin Park way longer than I’ve known most of my friends, they were part of my life way before some of the most important people in my life. I even knew them BEFORE I knew my best friend and that says a lot. It feels like they’ve ALWAYS been there. And seeing them live or not, I’m just gonna love this band FOREVER!.

One of the best days EVER !!!

Filed Under Me, Musicians, Personal | 13 Comments

Today is one of the best days of my life, I just smiled and cried like a freaking nutcase. I know I’m reacting like a complete fangirl but… I can’t help it. I’ve adored this man for so long, that the single fact that he knows a “ChesterDEAN” exists in the world makes me the happiest girl around. I’m just smiling like crazy. Thank you Chester for making this day unforgettable… and thanks a lot to Talinda for being just as awesome as she is

You have no idea of what this means to me….

December 8th

Filed Under Birthday, Family, Musicians | 15 Comments

Today, three things happened in different times…

My beautiful and perfect nephew was born three years ago. His mom is my cousin and she’s just like my little sister, when he was born I couldn’t believe it and I cried of joy. He’s simply gorgeous, he has the most contagious smile in the whole world. I love him like you have no idea!.

In 1980, John Lennon was murdered in front of his house. He was just coming back from dinner after a long day of work in the studio, he was only 40 years old. Even though, I never got the chance to even share the world with this incredibly musician, December 8th has always been a very sentimental time of the year for me, I trully feel the loss even though I never knew him. When my nephew was born, I didn’t know if I wanted to laugh or cry. I’m very bi-polar this day.

In 1943, Jim Morrison was born as James Douglas Morrison. I guess we all know at least a little bit about him, don’t we?. I love The Doors and his music, and the fact that he was a bit crazy made him a favorite of mine. He’d be 66 years old today if he hadn’t died at 27… too young.

Meaningful Songs

Filed Under Musicians, Songs, Videos | Leave a Comment

Everybody can feel related to a song, it’s a natural thing and it’s mostly why people likes music so much. I tend to find meanings in songs and feel related to them and they’re like my little source of comfort when I feel no one understands me, or if I can’t express myself in the right way, there’s always a song I can go to and express myself with it.

I feel related to a LOT of John Lennon’s songs. Mostly, the deep ones like “I Know, I Know” or “Working Class Hero” (not really the ones about his obsessive love for Yoko). “Crippled Inside” is a song I adore and feel related to it from the beginning to the end, but they’re not ALL of his songs, nor the majority. I can relate to a lot of Paul McCartney’s song but then again, they’re not even close to being the majority. But I still like all of theirs songs because of the music, the rhythm, the lyrics, etc, even though they’re not that meaningful to ME.

The same with Linkin Park or Dead By Sunrise, I’m related to a lot of their songs but not ALL of them, even though I adore them all and listen to them all.

But with Enrique Bunbury is quite diffferent, of all the songs I’ve already listened to, it’s like the 90% has a special meaning to me and I feel related to them and when I listen to them I remember a certain someone, or a moment or a place, or something special. The one of the video is my latest obsession, it’s a song a boy sings to a girl “Bellisima” means “Beautiful” but more than that, like “Really Beautiful” and he’s telling her don’t do it because of me because I don’t deserve so much, I’m an ass and you’re beautiful, I’m not right for you and everyone knows but I can’t stop and I take whatever you give me. And when I listen to it I have to think in a certain someone that always told me he wasn’t right for me but he just couldn’t step away haha see? every freaking song means something to me and it’s freaking me out.

I haven’t listened to them all since he has a LOT but I’ve already listened to a lot of them, and every time I find a song I get all stupid because of the lyrics, plus his voice is amazing. So for me, it’s kind of scary to listen to an unknown song because I’m afraid is going to open an old wound hehe I don’t know what to expect from his music anymore. But I love it!.

Hellville de Tour 2009

Filed Under Concerts, FANatic, Musicians, Photography, Pictures | 4 Comments

In the end, I got the chance to see Enrique Bunbury live, I still can’t believe it, it was amazing and probably the best concert I’ve ever been in. I found out he was coming to my city three months ago and I was super excited, a month later I finally bought my ticket and waited unpatiently for the concert, two months of literally counting the days, the countdown was only two days left when I found out they canceled the concert, I was devastated and really sad (I even cried).

This show was a once in a lifetime thing you know? he has never come to my city before and I never thought he would, so I couldn’t miss my chance, he was going to give a concert in Cancun (4 hours away from my city) and I decided I should go see him there, or I’d miss my only one chance. My dad talked to my brother and he got me the tickets (FOR FREE ) so everything looked perfect. My mom went with me, I was numb the whole time, I didn’t know how to feel, I didn’t want to get my hopes high like the first time ’cause if he canceled this one too I’d be really crushed, so I finally registered the idea when I was already at the concert, when I saw the stage and was waiting for the concert to start. I was literally shocked just thinking “Omg, I’m going to see him… I CAN’T BELIEVE IT”.

I got there at 7 pm and the concert was going to start at 9 pm, it was a never ending wait, I felt the minutes like complete hours and I was going insane. I had a good place, like three or four rows from the stage. I waited and waited until the lights went off… my heart skipped a beat, the band walked out and started to play one of my favorite songs “El Club De Los Imposibles” my heart was racing when all of a sudden everyone screamed even louder and there he was, he walked out from the left corner of the stage and took the mic in his hands and started to sing. Everything was so surreal I still can’t believe it, he was there, in front of me. He was all dressed in black like a texas cowboy, black hat and sunglasses, he looked gorgeous and I still can’t believed that man in front of me was ENRIQUE BUNBURY one of my favorite singers.

At first, since I was literally alone (my mom went with me, but I left her in the back ’cause I didn’t want her to be pushed around by insane fans) I was a bit shy at first, I did sang my lungs out but I couldn’t even move, but as the night went on I started to jump, dance and sing even louder. I took picture after picture and I think that caught his attention because he posed to my pictures more than once.

He is really looking at the camera hehe

He changed his clothes four times, the one in the first picture, then a black shirt with pink stars and a feather snake like in the second picture, then a black jacket like a Sgt. Pepper kind of jacket but all in black, then a pink shirt with black stars and finally just a black vest, same pants the whole night hehe. My favorite outfit was the jacket and the vest, he looks amazing in vests *lol*.

I only recorded videos of my favorite songs and I’ve already uploaded two of them on youtube so here they are:

El Club De Los Imposibles

Sacame De Aquí

In the second video, an annoying voice can be heard singing…. that’s me hahaha sorry, I just had to shout like crazy. Something I loved, was that he always pointed us with his mic to sing for him and if we didn’t do it right he’d make a face and move his hands in a “Nah-uh” way and he’d sing a bit so we could follow him and then leave us alone. He’s AMAZING !!.

There are very special songs for me, like the one I have on the “Deanie-TV” section, that one is called “Y Al Final” (In the end in Spanish *lol*) and when he sang it, my little silly heart was so happy it wanted to cry haha. It was an unforgettable concert, I’m still amazed by it. Back in 2004, I used to hate him so much it hurt *lol* because I thought he was trying to act and look like Jim Morrison, but my ex-boyfriend told me to listen to one of his songs from his old band called “La Chispa Adecuada” and he sang that song, he sang the song that made me like him, and another friend told me to listen to “Infinito” and he sang it too, and that was the song that made me LOVE him, so it was a very special moment to me I just loved EVERYTHING.

My brother has a lot of friends, and one of them was involved in the concert (that’s how he got me the free tickets in the first place) so after the concert, he got me an autographed CD… isn’t it just BEAUTIFUL???

I took a bunch of pictures, if my camera took better quality pictures I bet they’d look a bit professional hahaha but they don’t because of the blur hehe but I really like my pictures if you want to check them out go here.

I’m going crazy

Enrique_Bunbury__concierto_by_an-2

Today was a really stressful day full of tears and sadness. Enrique Bunbury’s concert was canceled, I felt awful because I’ve been waiting for it for two whole months, I was literally having a countdown on my MSN, I was so excited and happy, and today they announced it was cancelled. I felt like crap, cried my eyes out until a little light of hope shone for me. I might be able to go to Cancun for the concert he’s giving there, I just hope he doesn’t cancel it too, otherwise my one and only chance to ever see him live would be vanished. It was like a one in a million chance he’d come to my city, I had my tickets, everything was ready and it was over in a matter of seconds. I just really hope he doesn’t cancel the one in Cancun or I’ll be crushed. It’s been almost ten years since the last time I got this excited for a concert, I’ve never had the chance before to see a band I really REALLY like, like I like Enrique Bunbury… so… it was really sad to see in red font the word “Canceled” above the date of the concert *sigh*
