What a terrible world we live in sometimes. Just take a look at this poison:
Yes this is a Justin Bieber singing toothbrush! WHAT THE HELL?!?!?!
You take poison, add some brushed-over side swept hairdo, a girly chorus voice and music fit for a 1994 talent show and you sell out to a commercial society by putting your damn face and voice in a toothbrush that is going to be in and out of prepubescent little girl’s mouths. And you know what, brushing your teeth is not the prettiest sight, you stick your tongue out, toothpaste bubbles dripping down like a rabid dog how great to put your face on that.
Unacceptable. Real musicians would not stand for this.
No, the Rolling Stones would not stand for this
The Ramones would never stand for this
The Doors would never stand for this
Syd Barrett, John Lennon, Ian Curtis, David Bowie, the great guitar king Jimi Hendrix would never stand for this.
Yes I have gone on a huge rant but come in a SINGING TOOTHBRUSH?
Take a look at this nonsense:
This has gone too far.Hey Justin, take a look at REAL Music. If one of my musical idols came up with something crappy like a toothbrush with their face plastered all over it, I’d be disappointed and would tell them they sold out. But what do you expect from Justin.
Let’s clean our ears with REAL music. Let us repent at the sin of allowing people like Justin Bieber have a singing career and repent of the sin by redeeming ourselves with good music which I will post below- from Joy Division to Nirvana. And take a look at why Justin is NOT a musical legend:
AND FINALLY:
I am jamming to these songs, enough that I feel better.
That’s real music! And none of these real artists would put their face on a little kid’s toy. If you love music, if you love singing then you do it for the passion. Not for selling out to crappy merchandize like this. If I were Justin, I’d be too ashamed .
Grettings! Here I am happy and with a smile again! Today I am reviewing 3 videos:
Morirse Esta En Hebreo (My Mexican Shivah)
A Movie Review In The Works
Now this is what I call and Indie of all Indie films! Because it’s a Mexican movie about Mexican Jews! And they happen to be Ashkenazi (European) Jews…in Mexico, who speak Yiddish, Hebrew and Spanish! And where you can hear a mixture of klezmer with Mexican mariachi! The actors, who are mostly Mexican, also happen to be Jews as well.
Now this movie, I watched before but don’t remember much because it was a long time ago but I look forward to watching it soon and giving a review. The Shivah (funeral) is for Moshe, the head of the household who dies suddenly. Now the entire family must gather for the 7 days of mourning for Moshe. But the problem is that the family is dysfunctional. From Moshe’s lover (a woman who no one likes) to Nicolas who turned Chassidic yet is in trouble with the law and to his own temptations. To an all out physical family fight!! This is what I call a fun movie unfold before your very eyes. Here is the trailer and I am looking forward to watching this ASAP!
Unfortunately the American preview has NO narration and it annoys me but here is the better Spanish one which I am also adding at the end of this post.
==============================================================================================
Funky funky shtetl!!! Chassidim Go To Hollywood!
This one is called “Changing Hollywood”
Shtetl, by the way is Yddish for a Jewish village so I find the song in the beginning of this video hilarious:
“Talking about the shtetl..the funky, funky shtetl…Life is hard for the chosen ones…the funky funky shtelt”
This short fim/video is about two Chassidic Jews (Shaya and Itche) and their oftentimes clueless journey into Hollywood as they try to pitch a script to Steven “Shpielberg”. And it’s just brilliant- Chassdic Jews trying to make in Hollywood! Shaya the leader and Itche the calm sidekick.
Funny highlights of the video: The store called “Felty hats” The Steven “Shpielberg” instead of Spielberg and of course the spelling of Shaya’s last name (Machanohavich…m-a-CHA!!..) To people confusing their Yiddish for bad words. Obviously the actors behind the characters are comedians and I think they did a fantastic job.
And I love how the video is mixed between modern music which contrasts nicely with Shaya and Itche’s style.
I rate this funny and interesting and I hope Shaya and Itche get a movie soon! There are some times in the video that you kind of have to understand some Jewish/Yiddish terms or culture…which is no problem for me. But even if you don’t understand all the things they say, it’s a great way to learn about another culture so don’t be shy, give it a try!
And finally a video of my new spiritual leader: The Hollywooder Rebbe
Ok, so he’s not real! But still I wish I had him as a Rebbe, he seems hilarious.
My review of the video: I LOVE Yankel! The Rebbe and Yankel are actual Hollywood professionals who are taking a hilarious take of the Hollywood industry. I love listening to the Rebbe talk about the industry through his shailos! Well done, Rebbe! I hope to hear from you again soon! (Note: some may not understand all terms…but once you do you see the hilariousness of the video)

Better and complete Spanish trailer for My Mexican Shivah
Haven’t heard from me in a while. I’m on a spiritual journey at the moment I think that happens to everyone at some point of their lives. Tonight I am taking a class and will be leaving momentarily, it’s a women’s discussion group which I’m nervous about because it’s my first religious women’s lecture but I heard there will be chocolate there so it’s cool.
Anyways I’ve been celebrating Yom Ha’Atzmaut and wanted to share the most awesome song in the universe.
Seriously listen to it….I DARE you not to dance. I think it is quite impossible not to dance to this great tune!
The words on the song ( Yamim al ye’mei melech tosif, sh’nosav kemo dor va’dor) is a Psalm of supplication from King David to make his days long. Pretty awesome. And it’s song by one of the greatest singers, Avraham Fried which I must see live one day:
So I am taking a hiatus of my blog to relax and take time and re-think my direction. Plus I recently met someone who’s changed my life and now I have to focus on what is important and not. And all I can say is that I don’t like the direction I have at the moment. It was right in front of me and I never got it, it took a guy to smack some sense into me.
Life without the Torah is not a complete life for me. After all, the beginning of wisdom is fear of G-d. I neglected this for far too long. And I am ashamed to have betrayed my inheritance for the wrong things. Betraying my direction full of Torah learning for mixing with the wrong people, wrong relationships, wrong desires. Rather than be united to Israel and the Jews that have always been waiting for me. I’ve been living in shame the past year and a half, binding myself to a gentile world of immorality and now I am doing serious teshuvah.
We’ll see what happens. In the mean time I’ve just been studying religious texts and waiting for an answer. My life could end up in a completely different direction than the one you currently see on the blog. Anyways who knows, the point is that it’s wonderful religious people who remind you of what is important.
In the meantime, I am going to take a permanent hiatus. I am sorry if this disappoints anyone, it’s not my intention. I love my friends and I’m always here if anyone needs me. I just am leaving and will come back when I have my answer.
Correction
This wonderful life changing person that I met is a religious person, a mentor and teacher and inspires me to live better. I look up to him as a teacher however I am stuck. I need my friends more than ever
This is not an easy time for me.
I do hope my friends give me the advise I need. Whoever can offer me advice it would be very much appreciated.
Well whenever I feel down I can always go back to my good friend Ronen:
If anyone has any issues with any of my blog posts let me say that you are more than welcomed to write me a message or send a C&D letter to WordPress and if they agree that any of my material is wrong I will be more than happy to edit or take anything down. I never thought an article of mine would cause so much controversy. All I did was ask some questions: http://themillieblog.wordpress.com/2011/11/06/burger-kitchen-on-kitchen-nightmares-exposed/
As far as what I wrote, everything is mere opinion. I’m not making accusations or threats, I am merely asking questions, posting links and asking the 2,000+ readers of that one controversial article to decide for themselves. I stand by my words as my right to free speech and as far as I know parody or opinions are not a crime. Also, I am not responsible for whatever people post on my comments and not responsible if others choose to copy the article into their blogs. And I don’t dox people either.
Anyways, if anyone still feels like my post is terrible then please approach either me in the comments section or WordPress and have them contact me. Should their legal team agree that there is something unethical in my post, then like I said I would be more than happy to get rid of any sections that might be labeled as breaking the WordPress TOS. As long as my freedom of speech is protected and my right to not be censored stands. PS: Also I am broke (since I’m just a blogger and in my 20s). If anyone has any problem with what a commenter posted (which I am not responsible for) I would be more than happy to delete any inappropriate comment by the people who replied.
Anyways I checked on WordPress and saw that I have not broken any rules. No threats, no impersonation. And rather it says to come to ME first. Also please do not take it so seriously. it’s just the net, just reality tv and I actually did not mean to offend anyone. Thank you.
So I am taking a break from blogging and relaxing on a vacation and yeah I’ve been writing a bunch of crazy short stories. Yes I have some blogs ready but anyways that’s for later on.
So some people noticed the weird name on the top of the blog…yes I am in the process of probably changing my blog name. I don’t think a writer named “Millie” could really be taken seriously. Considering the countless noobs who give animals the name “Millie” like these fools:
Anyways do I sound bitter? Maybe but it’s no big deal. I just think all their owners are weird for choosing people names for animals. What happened to pet names like Socks, Shadow, Bingo, Pickles etc..etc…
I’m not going to be naming my dog “Jennifer” or “George”. Anyways I read on a site that people giving their animals people names, is mostly because they regard their pets as part of the family, so there is no such thing as “Fido” the dog but rather “Jake” the barking family member. It is also those people who give their dogs “Jake” and “Millie” kisses on the mouth, have them sit at the table for dinner and do that whole weird/pet-baby talk like this:
Ok that IS kind of cute. Lol I can hear the boyfriend in the background saying “there she goes again” “leave the dog alone”
Also there are not a lot of famous Millies. Just old people and animals. There is a reality show “star” named Millie Macintosh or something but I don’t really care for “reality stars”. There is also a singer named “Millie Jackson” I wonder how famous she is:
OH DEAR HEAVENS!!!!!!!!!! Um…let’s move on.
Anyways no big deal. Millie is not my real name anyways, just a nick name and only close friends call me that. I at least have a Hebrew name but I actually go by my middle name. And I am at a pivotal point when I am wondering…should I push forward to a more professional writing, I should choose a more professional name. Like when David Robert Jones decided that he could not be named Davie Jones to be a singer and instead decided on becoming David Bowie. He went to become on of the biggest names in music history and he changed his name and became a credible singing sensation. Countless people change their names for their careers (aka Natalie Portman =Natalie Hershlag). Kirsten Dunst’s nickname (that her friends and family call her) is Kiki. In a way I can keep my nickname but artistically use a writer’s name for my stories and blog.
But whether I choose to artistically take a cool pen name for my writing…or keep the old-lady, animal name of Millie, my blog will be getting a well deserved make-over in the next few weeks. And I’m talking new background, new layout. More simple and organized categories. (Of course my close friends and family can keep calling me by my nickname).
In the mean time, things at my blog may seem weird and I am sorry. Here are some basic updates:
Some sections are VIP/password only-just inquire within and if you’re on the VIP list you can get access….or just type name of the best beer I ever had.
I am reviewing and writing up an article about a beer-related website I love and the article will initiate my updated blog when it re-opens
I might pull the blog offline the weekend before it re-opens….just cause
I know I am getting like thousands of views on my Burger Kitchen Exposed/Kitchen Nightmares post… I do not mean any harm or disrespect to the Saffron family (like someone revealing dox on them which I promptly removed). I am very flattered by the many views but my blog is a lot more than this one article. I have so many topics I like writing about. But this is 90% of the views I’m getting thanks to the re-run of the Kitchen Nightmares episode. Lately this one Kitchen Nightmare article is the main thing anyone seems to care about.
So anyways, while I get ready to relaunch my blog there are 2 things I want to let people know.
I was seeding all weekend and week and if WikiLeaks is asking their supporters to get this torrent and seed, there is a reason. It is also an “insurance” file. No one will be able to view the file and no key has been released- this is something WL asks their supporters to help with if they are willing to donate some time. It’s a fantastic way to lend a hand.
Support The Falklands
Oh yes I have a hate-blog against all the countries that want to destroy the Falklands. I am 100% in favor of the Falklanders in their desire to remain British! No one owns them and what Argentina is doing is trying to own the islands and own the 3,000+ Falklanders. You just don’t loose a war and come back later to say “Hola piratas, we know we lost but can we have the land anyways because we’re sore loosers who want to turn a bunch of English speaking people into Spanish-latin American hispanics against their will and force them to be part of our corrupt nation?” This makes me angry. Anyone who agrees, please download a Falklands Flag that you can post up on whatever social networking site to show your support for the Falklanders (Especially on the 30th anniversary of the Falklands War ….which WE WON and I say “we” though my grandmother’s side of the family and I am extremely proud of it! And if I could I would fight for these wonderful people of the Falklands against any adversaries that threaten their future )
Oh yeah. I’ve always loved the Blues more than any other music genre but lately I have heard the song from hell and it made my ears burn- with a new found love of good old fashioned American music with a modern twist…I love American music This is what the Blues is all about! Land of the Blues, Birthplace of Rock N Roll. Thank you and bless you USA. (I’m still getting the hell out of America though)
I have known of this site for some time but I just made an account with them.
I recommend this site because it is made by beer lovers, for beer lovers. If you are ever uncertain about what a beer is like, this is the place to go. As a beer lover, this is an awesome site and personally my first source for beer information. Fortunately this great idea has grown from a website in 1996 to an online community (website, forum, articles, events, user profiles and even a magazine) where all beer advocates come together. The founders of this site (brothers Jason & Todd Alström) have a motto: “Respect Beer” and I agree.
If you want to search for a specific beer or browse the articles, joining is not required but membership is free anyways. If you’re a member you can track the beers you’ve had as well as add your rating score and even write up your review. All I’ve done so far was give ratings from 1-5.
And here is a list of the top rated beers by the site and users, I find this very helpful in choosing a beer when I visit my favorite beer store BevMo)
I’m kind of surprised to read that the beers I usually buy have scored average.
So why not search your favorite beer and see how it stands by the palates of other beer lover! And while you’re at it do what I do and choose a random top rated beer for your next shopping trip!
I think everyone likes a good Zombie story and actually they’re exciting to watch, look at this preview of a game (that some people think is real)
A man in Russia captured on video running away from real life zombies who chase after him, while the camera from a helicopter above captures the entire scene. The man shoots at the zombies but they are not alive and their pursuit carries on. Finally, they reach him and the results are gruesome:
A terrible death, torn apart by zombies.
Watching films and shows that feature zombies would give us a clear definition of what zombies are. Death people who are raised from their graves and crave to kill the living and feast on their bodies. So yes that makes for a terrifying scenario. Even Michael Jackson went towards zombie territory with Thriller (which is awesome by the way and yes I can do the Thriller so don’t play it because I’ll start to automatically dance like that).
But there is an actual science behind zombies and they actually are real. But there are important differences between real zombies and Hollywood zombies. Hollywood zombies are out of control. Real zombies are poor victims of vodun witch doctors.
So a victim is poisoned by a combination of powerful toxic drugs which make him or her appear dead. They are then buried only to be dug up by the witch doctor, who then takes the victim away and gives him or her the antidote to the poison. The antidote is also a toxic drug that causes loss of memory and hallucinations. The victim is now a zombie, who is under the control of the witch doctor, who continues to give him or her the memory loss/hallucination powder for as long as possible. Also, while the victim is in the grave, because of the loss of oxygen the victim may never be the same and in fact loose their sanity (plus taking the hallucinogenic powder and you have a real zombie. Only not rotting and decomposed like Hollywood zombies are.
So there you go, zombies are indeed real!! Not how we expected them to be but this is a real event. And in fact there is a famous real life story of Clairvius Narcisse who was a real life zombie for a few years until he regained his memory and went back home (18 years after his supposed death).
(It is said witch doctors choose their victims to administer the poison and once raised from the dead they control the individual to work on sugar plantations)
Anyways there is the current controversy about the alleged Indonesian Zombie of a woman I found the video on this Spanish language site, which I re-posted with captions on YouTube:
(Btw enjoy reading the captions- it was hard to find fonts and colors that were readable on the background)
Basically the news reporter claims that in an Indonesian village, this dead woman is brought back from the grave through black magic rituals for the sole purpose of deciding rulings over the village. The video claims she is called the wise woman of the village. But this could all be an elaborate hoax. The video could just be that of a dead corpse that is being cleaned and placed back in a gave (note the coffin at the lower right side of the picture). Then the video shows what they claim to be the actual ritual that brings her back from the dead. Of course this evidence video just had to be in such low quality that you can barely see the image. I don’t even know what it is I was looking at during the ritual scene but I do know one thing…that narrator needs to shut up. Anyways probably a hoax. But it’s kind of creepy and I thought you could hear the woman groaning in pain or something but I guess that was some dogs howling at the background.
Who knows but let’s not forget, Zombies are real and potentially, anyone could become a zombie if given the toxic poison combination. Oooh would make a good story to write about… Let’s see. A man is scorned by being rejected by the girl he loved…and turns her into a zombie. I’m going to go write this story right now I’m inspired. Until later!
I’m scared…this just does not make any sense! This is….terrible? I have no words to describe this but I think I like that stupid thousand mile song compared to this dissonance, this disorganized half-thought of “song”
My take:
I HAVE NO WORDS. First off I now have brain damage and I think I might have lost some IQ points. Second, I could not watch the whole thing. Kudos to anyone who actually saw the entire video, I will be sure to take flowers to your hospital bed as you recover from when your ears exploded and your brain melted within your cranium after watching this. I’m sorry I’m going to clean my ears by listening to any song other than this crap. Oh my gosh I just don’t know anymore where the world is headed. Hate list!!! Yes I hate this video.
Since we’re in the topic of weird videos I have a question on two other videos:
Is this going too far or making a point? (Though the girl is cute but come on)
My take: she got it bad and now can’t walk that well anymore- yet wants more. Women have surely come a long way. Anyways, while this could be “humorous” I’m going to be honest and say that it lacks creativity in capturing the real message “going vegan” (which I am not) But this is certainly not swaying anyone to become vegan. You get a girl walking around in underwear and she looks more like a rape victim or battered wife than an exited girlfriend. Which makes this kind of awkward and creepy.
Speaking of rape:
Last WEIRD video…. this one I kind of get but well….just see for yourself
I’m sure in 2012, people could make a point without having to show that ahem…hairy “tentacle”. I mean it even has veins, freckles..moles. I mean it’s hairy and snakelike. I guess at least it might disgust some potential rapists, ok probably not. But does it disgust or actually convey a message? I think the opinion is mixed. Some people think it actually did convey the message that abuse victims always have the “dirty” feeling haunting them. In this case the girl felt it all her life, even into old age and only leaving her when she died. To others, this is ridiculous. So yeah I get the purpose of the video, but did we really have to show that. I mean, did they mold it after a real one and then used a computer to make it all snakelike? Who would volunteer for that? Eh I’m confused.
So there you have it. Some weird videos. Thank you YouTube- you’re surely serving your purpose!
Much love to all! <3
