another music entry

Tue, 29 Dec 2009 01:09:44 GMT

more an entry to prove im not dead than anything else, but since i put it on facebook, everyone here already had the chance to read it, but i dont care, so i shall put it here too, enjoy

you know what sucks? when your headphones are dying and you know it. and you know how you know it? one side has already bitten the dust. this is a terrible loss for you and your musical experience. but when you run into a song that is orgasmic, and yet you just cant bear to listen to with just one headphone, it is like the circle of hell reserved for child molesters and people who talk in the theater. anywho, these are the songs that bring a tear to my eye when i run into them with a busted headphone
5. boombox generation, motion city soundtrack http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3xrM_L-qLuo
another one of the songs that traumatized me when only one headphone worked, but if this hadnt, im not sure this one would have made the list, but again, the beginning would just lose me if the one headphone was working, it just needs the two halves to work together. and theres a bit of the 2 sides working together at the very end of the song, but it is just not as prominent. in fact, i think i might demote this to honorable mention if i keep thinking about it, but that would require me to figure out a replacement. but again, if i dont listen to the beginning, how can i enjoy the rest of the song.
4. such great heights, postal service http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hMOkfI7wCrI
i was traumatized by the time i was listening to this with a set of headphones where one side did not work, so this is the first song i put one the list when i decided to make this. just listening to the beginning you can tell that this was supposed to use both headphones, and until you are traumatized like i was listening to the beginning of that song with just one headphone, you dont realize how simple it is to make the cool sounding xylophone at the beginning, that alone qualifies it for this list, because there is really no other reason outside the first minute or so, i mean, that xylophone does comeback, but just in the background so that its not too important. so i cant put it as high as i want, but it definately does get to go on the list.
3. lucid dreams, franz ferdinand, specifically past the point of 4:44 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dl98kUWgQrc#movie_player
at first glance, this more or less is like every other song as far as not making much difference weather you have one or both headphones in, because the second headphone is just to spread the music to the second ear, not to enhance the music. however, around 2:30 or 2:40, they start using different sounds in different ears, but not as in your face and obvious as other songs. what really impresses me is after 4:44 when they go to the synthesizers. what impresses me is that its its not so obvious as to ruin the whole song with one headphone, but it is soooooooo much much better with 2. and this is quite clear. this part alone i could listen to on a loop and not complain. i cant rate it too high, for as i said earlier, it does not destroy the song, but it does quite nicely take advantage of both headphones while not shoving it in your face.
2. killer queen, queen http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MMz-wi50ACU
i actually had to go searching for a song to fill in the last slot, but once i found this song, it was clear that it belonged on the list. unlike a lot of the songs i have on here, this becomes especially prominent as the song progresses. its hard to imagine this song with just one headphone. the call and response back and forth between whats going in the left and right ear is just phenomenal. when you are hearing it just in one ear, you know there supposed to be something there, but its not. this is exemplified by the way it ends. just switching back and forth so rapidly, its just impossible to listen to with one headphone
1. yoshimi battles the pink robots pt 2. the flaming lips http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ViB5nnPRuYo
this is my absolute favorite instrumental, assuming you dont count the screaming as singing. this song takes advantage of both head phones from the beginning. when the moogs/ synthasizers/ whatever the hell they are are doing different things, then theres later where theres a bass going in the right ear while the left is getting more synthesizer. this is my number 1 on this list because it does use both headphones throughout the whole song. unlike boombox generation or such great heights, it does not rely on one part of the song to be in both headphones, i relies on the whole thing. which sets it apart from the other songs

"8. After I kidnap the beautiful princess, we will be married immediately in a quiet civil ceremony, not a lavish spectacle in three weeks' time during which the final phase of my plan will be carried out."

morning, im tired, i need to work on homework, but the lab that has computers that are not slow is taken by a class, and my laptop does not have powerpoint. and it cant open pdfs off the german website. it was just not meant to happen. so today i woke up. hit snooze twice, which is a new record for me. in mythology we are all the way up to the aeneid. yesterday i got to watch the godfather. good movie. and at work we had to let the plebs use the middle computer to print, because the server crashed. it seems to be an epic disaster. oh well. back to today, ate lunch, tried to do homework, i really did, but then the zombies attacked. sitting on the quad again, they came from the emporium. luckily davis hall is right behind me, and that things like a castle, allthough the bell that goes off every hour might be an inconvenience. maybe the ai director will spawn pipebombs or molatovs there, that would be helpful, anywho. the doors wont last that long, so im trying to figure out where to go to avoid losing a mouth full of brain. i think from there i might... ive got no idea, any suggestions to save me from the zombie hoards? enjoy

"yoshimi, they dont believe me, but you wont let those robots deafeat me." i have no quote, so the quote is a song im listening to, yay.

random songs

Mon, 10 Aug 2009 16:36:39 GMT

Morning. This pick put me in a predicament, (I spelled predicament right the first time, im so proud) it was a random song that I don’t have the cd for. Kinda a stand alone. So I think im just gonna find songs that fit the same description and rate them, while not having a cd to rate.

A+= legen- wait for it- dary, among the best songs I have ever heard

A= awesome

B= pretty good,

Average is somewhere in here.

C= below average

D= forgettable

F= don’t bother

help im alive, metric- this song is new for me, just got it Sunday, so I don’t think ive heard it before. I like the drum intro, the transition to the chorus is groovy, kinda psychedelic (my spelling is apparently really good today). I like it better once it gets to the catchy guitar and better singing, around 1:21 in, but it kinda gets back to the mneh that it was before. Not too nuts about the chorus itself. Its kinda like a rollercoaster, its got its up and downs. But no loops, so I guess its like a yo yo, it went back to the good part, but it followed with a longer transition which I liked, and a strong finish. The end kinda salvaged it, B-
bound to the floor, local h- this song was stuck in my head yesterday. I love the beat and the straight forward guitar at the beginning, and it uses the word copasetic. Not only does it use that word, but it also rhymes it. I enjoy the chorus, it breaks out into a heavier guitar and drums. The second time through is ok, the harmony doesn’t work as well as it does with other songs. And it fades out, overall, I enjoy this song. B+
big bang theory theme, bnl- it’s a typical theme song. Though I like how it starts at the beginning of time. I like the jump to a hyper and fast song. I think it’s a really good theme song, and they made a rhyme of Australopithecus, just for that it gets a B+.
fortunate son, ccr- I like the beat in the beginning, and the guitar sounds cool. I love how some car company was using it to be patriotic when its just a protest to the draft. I really like the voice that goes with this song. It fits in really well. Overall it’s a pretty good song, happy I have it. B
fuck you im drunk, flogging molly- I find this song hilarious. It sounds like its being sung by drunks. I think it makes it funnier, especially lines like “pour my beer down the sink, ive got more in the trunk” and “and im going to be drunk til the next time im drunk.” overall, its good for a laugh, if not for any real music value. It is catchy though. B
spider in my room, bnl- the beginning is cool with a nice beat and tribal like chanting. Its another one of those really goofy songs. Its not my favorite bnl song, but it is still fun, and it brings up the old wives tale about how killing spiders make it rain. I also like the strum that goes with it. Overall, good good. B
let it rain, living things- one of the free songs from zune, I enjoy the guitar strum, not too nuts about the melody, picks up at the chorus, overall, im not too impressed, average. C+
hollaback boy, cobra starship- I wrote off this song at first for just being what it is. It is not my favorite song ever, but I have to give it props for making fun of holla back girl. Especially when it makes fun of the whole spelling thing “s-u-p-e-r-c-a-l-a-f-r-a-g-a… what.” Still always makes me laugh, but overall, not a big fan. C
Johnny b goode, chuck berry- absolute classic. I love what it has done for music and its an awesome song overall, it has great guitar, and even piano. Even in the midst of the racism way back then people could see that this was an amazing song. Especially when it comes to the solo. It always picks me up when I hear it. A
shine, collective soul- another song I love. Especially the guitar in it, between the cool strum that goes on in the verses, and the transition is awesome. Especially the well placed yeahs. And the bridge, absolutely amazing. Especially the guitar solo. God, it comes out of nowhere and leaves just as fast as it came. Im kinda disappointed it didn’t last longer. Overall, as I said, I love this song, A
non-dairy creamer, third eye blind- I love the beat at the beginning, just the bass drum going with a cool pick going on in the background. I also like that they bring up some violin. I also like that its catchy. And of course the heavier bridge. overall, I enjoy the song. I got to see it in concert. And it was epic. A-
im not over, Carolina liar- fun strum, like the guitar that is added in towards the beginning, again, like the pick up towards the chorus. Not too nuts about the voice. the melody’s there. But it has potential to get stuck in my head. Overall its ok, B-
birdhouse in your soul, they might be giants- after you get past the mumbling and the mess of the beginning, it goes back to the goofy fun that is they might be giants. I enjoy the keyboard going on in the background. The trumpet is kinda irritating. I might have rated it better if I knew the lyrics, and could pick out good lines, but I cant, this is the first time im listening to it. I heard something about killing off Jason. And Argonauts. B+.

so that was fun, ill keep this list handy for when I get stuck with another random song. Fun fun. enjoy

broken bride review

Mon, 03 Aug 2009 20:59:56 GMT

Good morning again, another cd review, todays review will be broken bride by ludo. Ludo, one of the bands I got into very randomly. Walking through fye I discovered I had a $50 gift certificate for strawberrys, but they are now fye, so that worked in my favor, either way, grady convinced me to try them, now theyre part of my normal repertoire. Anywho, broken bride is their rock opera. Genius’ wife is killed and he makes a time machine to go back and saves her, and he goes too far, and hes with dinosaurs, though no dinosaurs are actually mentioned, pteradactyals are not technically dinosaurs, I forget the reasoning, then he goes to the future to just in time to prevent the zombie apocalypse. Fun fun.

A+= legen- wait for it- dary, among the best songs I have ever heard

A= awesome

B= pretty good,

Average is somewhere in here.

C= below average

D= forgettable

F= miley cyrus

pt. 1, broken bride. Really enjoy the beginning. I also enjoy the first line “15 years I race against the constant c, the speed of light” sets it up nicely. I really like the beat and drums in this one. gotta give it props for using the word pterodactyls. And the bridge is a contrast, though im not too nuts about it. Though I like how it ends. Song break. And the way they break into the chorus and the way its carried out is awesome. Nice use of moog. And it ends. A-
save our city. I like how it works into the cd as a whole. It kinda sets the stage for later in the cd with it being an opera and such. Not quite catchy, but good none the less. And credit for having zombies in it. The beat with the guitar and drum working together is ok. It also has a suicide. Fun fun. Not quite a happy song. I really like the zombie vocal part. You get the picture that it’s a giant hoard. And the snare drum works with it. And the build up to the inspirational speech (come on, losing a war to zombies, there has to be at least one) is just phenomenal, with “save our city” the zombie hoard working together, tied together with the instruments, and the inspiring part works right in. and it includes the phrase “anything can be a weapon if your holding it right.” Enjoyable. One of those songs I can rock out to. Though the end is kinda lacking, the voices kinda drag and take forever. Followed by the bell or gong or whatever. Overall, great song. A-
pt 2. tonight’s the night. I like the guitar that goes through the song. And a good transition from verse to chorus. And I also like the moog in the verse. Enjoyable solo. I also like the ending. It builds the character well. Overall, its pretty good. Shorter than the other songs, but sometimes less is more. Either way B+.
pt 3, lamb and the dragon. Love the beginning to this song. Kick ass guitar. And the voices. Then it breaks heavy metal, just to kick to a more country kind of guitar. It’s a really good mix. And it breaks again to heavy just in time for the chorus. And of course the whistle solo. You just cant have a cd without one of those. And after verse 2 it goes to a kick ass guitar solo. And slows to a stop… and turns back up again to make it seem like some kind of epic battle, or some epic creature has come upon us. And then the way it ends gives a satisfying end, the solo that is. The songs still going. It’s a slower part, but it throws back to the melody of the first song, with I like, it works well with that part. So up to this part, it’s an A. then it goes into the slow boring part. I can see how it is necessary for the opera, but its so long and drawn out. If it were a song by its self, it would be a C, but its still does not completely nullify the awesomeness that is the beginning of this song. And you can skip the end if you want, so im still giving it an A-.
pt 4. morning in may. Piano to begin. Slower, but works. It works well for the situation. Kinda touchy… sappy. But more touching than most sappy songs. It starts to pick up a little. Bridge is good. Ok, I really like the bridge. it gives the story a good conclusion. And it works well into a modified chorus. And it gives a satisfying conclusion to the story. Well I think it is anyway. And the rest of the song is kinda pointless. Not much to say about it. For some reason theres 2 minutes left, must just be the way the cd burned. B+

overall, I really like this cd, given that 3 out of 5 songs got an A- I think that’s pretty good. It really packs a punch for a cd with only 5 songs. So I shall give it an A-.

Mon, 27 Jul 2009 17:40:45 GMT

Good morning again, I have nothing better to do, therefore its time to review a cd. Go to the magic zune thinger and I get… maybe you should drive by the barenaked ladies. It is my least favorite cd of my favorite band. I found this cd very hit and miss, if I remember correctly it has a which is one of my favorite songs, and it also has a lot of misses, which is weird for bnl. So, lets start at the beginning.

A+= legen- wait for it- dary, among the best songs I have ever heard

A= awesome

B= pretty good,

Average is somewhere in here.

C= below average

D= forgettable

F= jonas brothers

jane. This is one of the barenaked ladies better known songs. But for that, its not one of my favorites, its got a good melody, pretty pick in the background. The final product is pretty good, but that’s kinda low for bnl. However, I do appreciate the humor of them changing the verse up “still dazzled by her smile as I shopped there” “still dazzled by her smile as I shoplift there” B
intermittently. Nice beat. I enjoy the shift from lively upbeat to relaxed between verse and chorus. Im not too nuts about the melody. But again I enjoy the way they find rhymes. And it is incredibly sappy. And I enjoy the nice little strum at the end while the singer sings fast. B-
these apples. I really like the pick that goes at the beginning of this song. I enjoy the melody and it works well into the chorus. The bridge is kinda boring. It is slower and more empty. Not a fan. But its followed with a banjo solo. And come on, it’s a banjo. And they play out rather well. A-
you will be waiting. Slower. Very melodic. I can like some of their slower songs like war on drugs or when I fall, but this is putting me to sleep. It seems in the lyrics are rambling, and again incredibly sappy. Gets a bit more lively in the bridge, but it is still putting me to sleep. C+
A. I really like this song. The percussion, the strum, the lyrics. Its all awesome. Some lyrics “A is for algebra I learned it is school, a is what fonzie said cause he was very cool… A is for arousal youre giving me the erection, im trying to show affection for longer than a half an hour” and of course it has the random song stop at the end of the last verse, but I enjoy those. A
everything old is new again. It has a nice beat, I like that it builds towards the chorus. And woodwinds and trumpets add a nice touch. I like the melody. I think im finding a theme. A lot of really sappy songs. All of them have been so far, its just some do it better than others. This does an ok job. B
there is a song missing here, alternative girlfriend, I must have not gotten it because its on another cd I had already ripped, a review for another day.
am I the only one. this song is a bit scratched, I think I might have to go to youtube and see if I can find it there. If not than I shall give it the grade from what I can remember about it… success. Its in the bathroom sessions on youtube. Interesting strum. Very slow. Again, incredibly sappy. Amazing transition from verse to chorus. I think this is another bnl meh. B-
little tiny song. Nice little ditty. I find it hilarious. Theres not much to say, its just piano and vocals. And a minute long. But its entertaining to listen to the lyrics “hey im a cow, im curious, hey watch me now im furious, hey im a cow im full of hate, hey watch me now im on your plate” A-
life in a nutshell. One of the sappiest songs that I absolutely love. Upbeat. It has much piano that works well. I love the melody and the chorus is awesome. Amazing lyrics. And its something I can relate to, specifically “its not that easy cause my time is often decided for me.” overall, one of my favorite barenaked ladies songs. A (borderline +)
the wrong man was convicted. Slower, mostly guitar pick and vocals at the beginning, but it has nice use of cymbal. Probably the best done out of the slower songs on this cd. I like the use of snare drum in the middle. Its cool. Overall, I like upbeat songs better, but this was well done. B+
Great provider. I love the guitar pick that goes with this song. Nice vocal harmony used at the end of the first verse and in the second verse. I also like the line “where does the time go when its not around here” I like what they do with the keyboard in this song. A-

Overall, very sappy, very hit and miss. Happy it got better toward the end. On the borderlind of B and B+, but it’s a B+ because if I included alternative girlfriend it would have been no question. B+

"this sentence is a lie"

reviewing random cds

Wed, 22 Jul 2009 03:43:06 GMT

since i have not updated in 2 weeks (nothing fucking happens, im boring) i shall post a review of a cd, not that many care, but just for those interested... made for facebook, so... here ya go.

Good morning and welcome. I have decided to start reviewing random cds, I shall let my zune player on my computer go on random to choose a cd. A few ground rules. I will never use the word emo to describe music. I do not get the concept or the sound, it was never explained to me. Not well anyway. All anyone told me was it is whiney emotional music, which can be used to describe a lot. Music in and of itself tends to be emotional. Therefore the term emo is kind of irrelevant. I will review based on how I feel about the music as im listening to it, theres no other way to do it. So I could hate a cd now and love it later, it’s the way it works. Enjoy.

A+= legen- wait for it- dary, among the best songs I have ever heard

A= awesome

B= pretty good,

Average is somewhere in here.

C= below average

D= forgettable

F= rap

The first cd is going to be the spiderman 2 soundtrack. I remember this cd, and I don’t know why I have it. I don’t remember thinking I especially needed it, so ill just write it off as jen picking it up randomly. Either way, i have 13 tracks. Enjoy.

vindicated- dashboard confessional, I know, I should be ashamed, I have a dashboard song. Im not generally nuts about any of their music, but there are a few good ones. This one is kind of ordinary. Good beat, I enjoy the chorus. Overall it ranks above most dashboard, which is average. I shall give it a B- .

2. ordinary- train, I like train better. This song is ok. The chorus is kind of long and drawn out, but the bridge sounds cool. I like how its heavy and then breaks into a light piano part. Its not as good as I remember it being. Oh well. B-.

3. did you- hoobastank, Oh god. Not getting a good feeling about this. Hated the reason, cant remember this song. Well onward we shall go. Starts with bass. Not too bad. not as bad as I was expecting, but I havnt gotten to the chorus yet. Ok, this song is pretty good. Ill take it. Something I can rock to. I like the sound of the weird guitar solo. No matter how short. I shall give credit where it is due. Not all hoobastank stinks. B.

4. hold on- jet. Looking forward to this. I enjoy jet, but then again, I was dreading hoobastank, so it could still fall either way. Nice guitar in the beginning. Not so heavy. A nice in between of “cold hard bitch” and “look what you’ve done.” Nice beat throughout. Not quite the rock out song, but not all songs need to be to be good. B+

5. gifts and curses- yellowcard, not nuts about yellowcard, but not saying they suck either. Ill give them credit for actually using a violin. On to the song. Liking the guitar pick that is going in the background. Enjoying the chorus. I like the transition to chorus, it’s a cool heavy guitar strum, and builds from there. And a slow piano break in the middle. With violin of course. It builds to a heavier break, I like that part better. Overall, not bad. B

6. woman- maroon 5. not nuts about them, here we go. Funky beat. Im not liking the voice, and there is no guitar. And the woooooahaoohohoaaaaaaaooos I am not a fan of. I suppose not being a fan of that goes with not being a maroon 5 fan. Luckily for them, a good beat gets a fair amount with me. Ok, not taking another minute of the moaning, C-.

7 this photograph is proof- taking back Sunday. I cant remember any of their songs off the top of my head. Yay for being unbias. Liking the drum and guitar at the beginning, but then the lyrics start. Eh its not that bad, but not that good either. The voice that is. I think It sound better in the chorus, but overall it is eh. Outside the voice though, I enjoyed the song, B

8 give it up- midtown. Never heard of them. Like the beginning. The guitar and bass work well together. Catchy chorus. Im enjoying it. Then it goes to the bridge. Piano and vocals. I like it. And then the guitar takes over. Or that’s what im paying attention to, just imagining the pretty colors coming at me. Haha, overall, I really liked it. A-

9 lucky you- lostprophets. Kinda looking forward to this. Hooray. Sounds like lostprophets. In the guitar, vocals, drums. Defiantly on par with every other lostprophets song. Not including the songs on fake sound of progress, which blew. Good guitar heavy bridge. Keeping the beat. And of course the random screaming. Eh. Like the rest of the song. A-

10 who am i- smile empty soul. Heard of them, don’t know them. Like the vocals at the beginning. Heavier chorus. I really like the guitar pick going with it. Not much else to say. Not too bad. pretty good even. B

11. the night that the lights went out in nyc- the ataris. Again the good guitar pick at the beginning. Works well in the cd as a whole, but not to sure about the song itself. Everything about this song is rather average. Nothing standing out as good or bad. ill just give it a C+.

12. we are- ana. No knowledge. A female vocalist. A rare site in my zune. Liking how its being pulled off. Really like the heavier chorus, as contrasted by the lighter verses. I approve of the voice. Not exactly happy with the bridge. But it quickly goes back to what the whole song has been. B+

13. someone to die for- Jimmy Gnecco feat. Brian May. Don’t know them, but I remember the song not being bad. lighter beginning. Slow with a piano. Vocals are good. For being one of the slower songs, im enjoying. There is not much in way of guitar, but what guitar there is is rather effective. Wait, heres some more. Defiantly picked up a bit. And a solo. Good good. B+

Overall, the cd has a few pitfalls, a few high points, but a lot of the same. Well, I suppose an overall B will work for me, its not like this counts for anything. Any questions comments or concerns can be put at the bottom, again, judging these based what im feeling about it now. If you read this, thanks, if not, than I don’t blame ya. Don’t hurt yourself or others. Comment if you want to be tagged on these, I have a lot of time and will probably do more. Enjoy.

Fri, 02 Jan 2009 01:37:40 GMT

so... i think ill start at the beginning. i had an amazing time the past few days. i went to my sisters for new years, and therefore got to hang out with beth. but as everyone knows, it was snowing rather hard, so the plan was pick up people pick up allie go shopping for a costume (the new years party was a iconic music video themed) i was a beatle. im sure pics will be posted on fb. then pick up more people. anywho it fell apart knowing that it took an hour to get anywhere. anyway, today came, hung out and watched loony toons at my sisters, went to bk, sleding. i havnt gone sleding in a long time. thats fun. so on my way from sleding to picking up my laptop to avoid bordom from gossip girl, for that was next on the agenda, i take a left on a green light, like a green turning light, apparently this guy thought his red light meant go, and i end up in a crash, and i dont think im at fault here, but i want it to be over and done with. gah. so im on my computer while gossip girl is on in the background. i plan on making sarcastic remarks as soon as i run out of things to do online. enjoy.

a sign of the apocolypse

Sun, 23 Nov 2008 04:20:26 GMT

yes, one more of the 66 seals of the apocolypse has been broken. (sorry for anyone who didnt get the reference, watch supernatural)
ill get to that later. ill just sum up the week first, because everyone cares so much, im sure.
it looked to be a god awful week to start. woke monday. one of those mornings where i just didnt want to get up more than usual. i worked. got to hope commons to see one of my groupmates for a com project typing furiously. so then we get talking about how we had to present that day. so i stayed and skipped my first class. after working on this speech for my 2 hours at work and 4 after, i finally had to put it into practice. it didnt go too badly. then i hung at hope commons again, and decided to skip ethics. it was a review day. i didnt miss anything. i then went to a film genres class to watch blade runner. i need to finish that movie. it was good. tuesday. woke up an hour earlier than normal so i could finish an archaeology paper. chilled, hist of jazz, another review. arg. last uri 101 class. yay. hung with josh. yay. went back to the dorm. and wednesday came. ssdd. ethics exam, eh. wednesday went. thursday ssdd, jazz exam, then, because tv rules my life, supernatural, then went to my sisters to watch walle. disproved my theory that a g movie can never amount to anything, but it may have been made better by the insertion of the discussion that ensued. that was rather entertaining. friday. volcanoes, com, ethics. all boring. went to gradys for a party. heres the sign of the apocolypse. i was social at a party. well, you may not be that surprised, but im surprised as hell. being social was a new experience and i rather liked it. im not so sure if i can replicate it though, because i am dan. but i find it was a good way to make more friends. so, i got to dance and watch the end of sweeny todd and walle. yup, i watched walle twice in 2 days. and by 3 or 4 we were all talking about hobos wearing perfume. that was another rather entertaining conversation. i decided i was far too tired to drive back to the dorm, so i crashed on the floor. i didnt get to sleep till like 5, and woke up around either 9 or 10. and then beads were being strung. i ended up with 2 bracelets that say nom and virus. im happy with it. i made one that said glass, but i gave that away. so i made my way back to my dorm around 12. and caught up on the sleep i missed. and now im just chillin in my dorm, sorry if the sign of the apocolypse was a disappointment, but it surprised me. enjoy.

"now, i think thats robot sex" one of the various comments on walle.

awake 3 hours now, and todays already better than most ive had here

Sat, 06 Sep 2008 17:17:12 GMT

ok, maybe not, but im in a good mood anyway. so i woke up this morning, and showered and shaved and brushed my teeth.
ate breakfast, actually talked to someone at the dining hall. my god.
went back to my dorm. saw that nothing is on for the time being.
decided to go to the quad to read, but fell into a walking conversation, and ended back at weldin. so it was just a walk halfway there and back. but i dont care, it was a good conversation.
the monster truck stoped out side weldin. they were giving away monster. the energy drink. and i love it when advertising ploys fail, because i tried a free monster and i found it very sweet and not all that good, but i do have a ton of energy as of now. but if i want that effect, then ill buy one that tastes good.
boston won last night.
tampa lost last night
the sox are only 2.5 back now.
we still have a chance to take the east
theres a bus to the providence place mall later today, i might take it.
i dont think i remember ever having this much energy to burn. typing isnt really burning all that much of it. but i am typing rather rapidly. not that you can tell the speed of my typing. but take my word for it.
oh, i took a survey on bloging. that was fun.
i think im gonna find other stuff to do online... oh wait, maybe the gh tournament is still going on at the union, ill check that out. enjoy.

before going to the union, someone imed me, i think by mistake, but it was funny enough to make my whole day. so, i changed the qotd to the opening line of that im. enjoy

my cousin died yesterday. that blows. its kinda like a double whammy here for me. my generation of the family tends to hang out in cliques. it was the older cousins in their clique. theres 6. then theres the younger cousins which consist of me and my siblings, and 4 cousins. 3 cousins now. but for us, it was always divided by gender, it would be jimmy and i hanging out, and jen sarah emily and veronica. they would hang out and chat. now i have no cluque. im going to be the awkward loner cousin who hangs out in a corner and snaps at people who try to touch him. and we happened to have a family gathering thursday and friday. what the fuck. im sick of cool young people dying.

on a brighter note, im putting in my 2 weeks notice today. i got to drive to uri today to deposit money and get a debit card. i have more than enough to make it through the summer. i had to park up the street though, so i am still soked from that walk. thats about it. enjoy.

"on a sadder note, mom called..." i figured it out by then. this is after a terrible 4-10 shift at wendys.

its been fun watching people going around, looking over their shoulder, making sure they arent the next on the death list. speaking of which, the fire drill was fun today. gaurding chris while looking to find any shoot outs. alas, i saw none, but i heard of one. hung out in the media center for stat. that was fun. got scarves to juggle in acd. one more day 2 left in my life. wow. almost there. ya know, fridays off seem pointless without doing something... anything. graduation is coming up and i am ready to go to college. hell yeah. i seem to not be able to focus on anything right now. ;ajkd;lfjka;dfjka;jfa;kdjfkasjdfenjoy.

those words just sound awful. "you have been assasinated."
there was one person who could possibly know where i would be this morning and it just so happened he had my name.
Travis Greene is in my sunday school class and while sitting in the float/ truck he comes up. he was going to do the parade with the drama people, and it looks like he just wanted to say hi, but no, there was one purpose for this visit, my downfall.
he crept up behind me. squirt squirt squirt. done. dead. crap. theres five dollars i will never see again. i hadnt even read the email. what the fuck.
well, travis' new targets are monica black. makenzie benander and amanda pawlina. chris, i hope you have him, so you can nail him to a wall.
enjoy.

where did that come from?

Sun, 25 May 2008 23:15:39 GMT

who saw this coming? Dan is going to prom with a date. i didnt see it coming, and i am, in case you didnt know, dan.
so anyway. work today was hell. the registers went down for an hour and a half. we had to do prices and taxes by hand. it.... was...... hell. we went through many bags and we had to keep them to make sure we didnt screw up the registers. yup. it was sunday, i was not going to think and do numbers in my head. we shut down drive through. heh. at the very begining of this problem, beth and ryan came in. and a creepy stalker customer saw that i had my picture on the public access channel. and we had the worst grill person in the world on. who decided to go on break when the registers went down. hes a jerk.
oh god, im tired. got to bed at 4 and woke up at 6,8, and 10. and i was told again that i remind someone of the guy from juno. i have seen that actor in other movies, and i still dont see the resemblence. maybe its my awkwardness. maybe i do look like him, maybe we are all a figment of our own imagination and exist only in our nonexistant minds. or not. i dont know, its sunday and im not gonna think. enjoy.

Sat, 24 May 2008 18:29:16 GMT

it has not been a good past few days.
did i post tuesday? wednesday is a good place to start i guess
D day. senior presentations i got up early, got a good spot, just to find that THERE WERE 70 FRICKING SPOTS OPEN IN SENIOR LOT ALL FRIGGING DAY. i could have woken up at 8:30 and gotten there and been all set with a good spot. frick. then i went second to last in terms of presenting, so i got to be bored and nervous for about an hour and a half before i even got to present. then i saw friends leaving me from the window, prior to presenting. i was a bid annoyed, but then i decided that i would go home, what other plans do i have. just to find out i could have had a better day if i had just gone to the media center where they actually were. i missed the assasin meeting, but i signed up anyway. and i was bored out of my mind for the day.

thursday. school. physics notes, bad enough for ya yet. madd jerk telling us to not drunk drive. i hate prom season. she was a monotonious idiot who could not vary her words to save her life. she was dull and babbled on for an hour and a half. she would have failed the senior project presentation, because the judges would all have been asleep by the end, god knows she put the entirety of the senior class to sleep. the other lady had a bigger effect. anywho... health... speaks for itself. and went outside for forensics. work was terrible. got there at 4, all done up shirt and tie and junk. grabbed a ride with grady to jps wake. we had to stop at the wendys in jonston. wait an hour for andrew to show up. good lord. and then we got to go to the actual wake... it was terrible. i would not wish that upon anyone. riding with grady was fun though. he has good taste in music. then i got back to work, where the people were taking over for us because we were all at jps wake. i got back to a vastly over staffed wendys where i was useless, so i started doing what i was goinjg to need to do anyway. clean dining room. then i was assigned to take orders. as i have learned over and over again, peole are stupid. anyways, i was there till 9 when i finaly got to front register and started to close the dining room, keep in mind that i usually start closing dining at 8. makes no matter, due to lack of business, i was done with most of everything before 10 and was out of there by quarter of 11. i needed sleep.

friday. i get to have a good day at school. passed the exhibition. someone gave me a fricking 75. how did that happen? i wasnt that good. got breakfast, the food sucked, but the company was good. and the day followed up by doing nothing. signed up for assasin. this'll be fun. forensics, we spent the day outside. 5-230 at work. im so tired.

today, my mom and little sister are trying to annoy me do death. i am a bit depressed as of now. and tired. mostly tired. well, shit, i just made a long post. its rare for me to make a post like this. well, those of you that are still reading, enjoy, to the rest, i dont blame you. im not very interesting. enjoy.
