My dad took me to see James Cameron's AVATAR today. Now, I wasn't too thrilled at first because I really wanted to see Princess and the Frog, but I thought, "What the hell, I'll give it a shot.".

AND
HO
LY
SHIT

That movie was incredible. I mean, all I kept thinking through it was, "Yes! Finally something different! Something new and creative! YES!" There's not much to say about this film because you really hae to see it for yourself to understand what I'm talking about.

The Plot

Not much to say here besides that they actually thought it through and gave a great backstory to both the humans and the na'vi. Everything alligned perfectlyin the nd, and it was fantastic.

The Characters

Character development! Each given a unique personality! The characters were also great and the actors were REMARKABLE. I was really surprised with how good their acting was and how much they got into their characters.

The CGI/Special Effects

SWEET ZOMBIE JESUS
IT'S LIKE I WAS ACTUALLY THERE

I literally laughed AND cried during the film. There were sad moments, amazing action sequences, and- fck, I can't compreend with how GOOD this film was.

So yeah. 9.9/10 for AVATAR. Awesme job James Cameron, and good luck at the box office. KICK NEW MOON'S ASS

Halloween was pretty rad.

I went as a Blu Scout and took my little brother along. He pot candy, I just dressed up. At school, we had a costume day and my two gal pals dressed as Sailor Moon and Sailor Mars (they don't know each other). THEY LOOKED EXACTLY LIKE THE CHARACTERS they were adorable

yeah
awesome

Weird Hetalia Dream

Sun, 25 Oct 2009 18:39:16 GMT

I had the oddest fucking dream ever.

So Germany, Italy, and Japan are in the ocean off some beach. There are a lot of dead people floating in the ocean on both sides of them and blood the water is completely red. It looked pretty serious, but then this announcement from OUT OF NOWHERE BUT APPARENTLY EVERYONE CAN HEAR IT CLEAR AS DAY (I'm starting to think this was the setting from Battle Royale) comes up and it's THE WOMAN WHO ANNOUNCES THE TEAM'S DUTIES IN TEAM FORTRESS 2.

I SHIT YOU NOT.

She says, "Anyone who doesn't look like an animal or has furry features must leave NOW."

I was all, WTF, but then the Axis Powers suddenly have this long rabbit years corresponding to their hair color and turn to leave with disappointment. It gets serious again (bunny ears are gone now) where their battle ships start going the opposite way from the beach and the blood in the ocean leaves with them.

Germany stays though and goes up to the beach where Russia and Lithuania are standing, Russia scowling and Lithuania looking worried over Russia. Germany just stares at them, but then Russia yells out, "Look at all of the pain you've caused! Look at the blood! Almost everyone here has lost their lives to your stupid war!" (I'm assuming WW2? They had weapons and tanks that looked relevant to that time period.) It made me wonder why Russia gave a shit since he's the most violent and pretty much apathetic country portrayed in Hetalia.

Then for some reason, a taller-looking Finland is seen up from a medium-sized cliff that's behind Russia and Lithuania and for some reason says, "Sorry guys, but I'm siding with neither of you. I'm with Sparta! See?" THEN THE CAMERA FUCKING PANS OVER TO AMERICA, ENGLAND, AND SOME OTHER COUNTRIES I CAN'T IDENTIFY AND THEY'RE HOLDING UP A SOUTH KOREAN MOTHERFUCKING FLAG. I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT FINLAND MEANT BY "SPARTA TEAM". I THINK THEY JUST FAIL AT TEAM FORTRESS 2 OR SOMETHING.

MOVING ON.

Up to this point, they've all been talking in their original Japanese voices (I could understand them for some reason) but then when Finland came up, he started mixing more English within his sentences, especially when he said "See?". And NOOOOOW they all are speaking with the most PERFECT ENGLISH VOICES EVER. Whoever cast the voice actors in my dream, deserves a medal.

Anyway, after Germany, Russia, and Lithuania look up at "Team Sparta", Russia turns back to Germany with the deepest glare EVER, but Germany speaks up first. "It doesn't matter if you don't like what I've done. You're going to supply us whether you like it or not." Russia had a "wut" look on his face, and then America (WHO SAYS THIS IN THE MOST DREAMIEST AND AWESOME OF VOICES IN THE WORLD) tells Russia, "He means your consumption products. Food and water and the like. You're the one country that actually has those basic necessities in this time." Now I was really confused, but Russia looked pissed off as HELL. I think he then makes some comment to piss Germany off, and then he starts charging towards Russia with his gun.

He's stopped however by a man who's... reading a newspaper.

...

Weak.

He tells Germany to back down and he does so, and tells Russia that he WILL supply them or else. Whatever "or else" was, I have no idea.

The atmosphere is tense.

You can SMELL the rage and fear in the air.

And then...

A BLU SCOUT COMES RUNNING PAST ALL OF THEM HOLDING THE RED TEAM'S SUITCASE WHILE SINGING "RINBU-REVOLUTION" BY MASAMI OKUI. THE MALE VERSION (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WosjuegpwKo). THEN ALL THESE IMAGES FLASH TO THE AUDIENCE WHILE HE'S RUNNING OF ALL THE FIGHTS HE'S BEEN IN AND WE FIND OUT HE'S RUNNING TO FACE OFF AGAINST HIS ONE TRUE LOVE/ENEMY- THE RED SPY.

THERE ARE SCENES OF THEM TOGETHER BEING ALL LOVEY-DOVEY AND THEN FIGHTING.

OH MY GOD, I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT TO THINK.

Then I felt my cat bite my nose, and I woke up.

...

Weak.

So yeah, I have the stupidest fucking dreams ever.
I think the reason I thought of Scout singing that song was because when I first heard it, it totally sounded like him if they dubbed a series based on TF2.
YYYYYYYYEAAAAH.
I should make a comic out of this.

Senior portraits

Tue, 13 Oct 2009 02:44:06 GMT

I went to take my senior portraits today, and it was awesome.

At first I thought it would suck, be boring, and I would be an embarrassed fuck throughout the whole thing because I am REALLY shy when it comes to posing and take bad pictures, but in actuality, IT WAS PRETTY. FUCKING. RAD.

The dude who took all my pictures was hilarious and a totally gnarly guy. He had a lot of tattoos and was in a band. He's the lead singer and guitarist for the punk rock band Longway (local band here in Riverside). At the end of the photo sessions, he was so sweet and gave me a copy of his band's CD that just came out. FOR FREE. His name was Brian, and he said that if I liked the album I could bring it back and he would autograph it for me. We go back in a week to pick up the pictures, and the album is kicking ass so far.

GONNA GET DAT DERE AUTOGRAPH

Brian showed me a couple of pictures that he took from the photoshoot and HOLY SHIT.

THE PICTURES. WERE. INCREDIBLE.

He is a FANTASTIC photographer and every single picture he took of me actually came out GOOD AND AWESOME. :'D He was especially pleased that I brought my bass guitar to do the body shots with, lol.

So yeah, that was my day. :>

I'M SELLING SHIT YOU DON'T NEED! :D

the cruelest dream- reality

Thu, 17 Sep 2009 22:02:35 GMT

My mom is thinking about cutting off both cable and the internet to save money. I don't think it will matter though.

She only has $468.32 left in the bank, and that's not even enough to pay this month's rent. It doesn't help that her work is cutting her hours (working less and less every week) and she's on unemployment checks for the first time in her life. She refuses to let me get a job, even though I've said countless times that it would benefit us both. Then she reminds me that I have no car for transportation and no one to watch my little brother after school.

Great.

All we need now is to be evicted to complete the social cycle of national recession. Then we'll be those people you see on the streets while everyone walks by and gives us nothing but fake sympathy. In reality, they don't give a shit about you, your family, your starving kids, or your problems. All they're thinking is, "Thank God that's not me."

TWILIGHT REMASTERED

Tue, 08 Sep 2009 23:37:32 GMT

You know what would have made Twilight just a little bit less fail?

Edward's dad is a doctor, right? Well, instead of being ZOMGVEGETARIANVAMPIRENOHUMANSPLZ, I wrote this in my English 3 journal today. We had to rewrite the plot of a story we thought would make it better. lol

--

Since Edward and his adoptive family have abstained from sucking blood from humans beings, they instead rely on their father, who is a medical doctor, to bring home packets of blood that have been donated to the hospital he works at so they may feed and live their daily lives. Unfortunately, they can only drink so much because they must make the blood last at least one week so that they would not look suspicious.

However, while walking down the sidewalk (a black hoodie covering his face so the sun would not burn him) Edward crosses paths with a girl, Bella, he slowly begins developing a desire to feed off of her flesh. This has never occurred to him before and he tries desperately to regain his self-control before he kills this girl he has never met, spoken, or even shaken hands with before.

Edward can't take it anymore. This hunger was driving him to madness.

But being a vampire, he can only come out at night. One day, fortunately or unfortunately to the reader, Bella decides to stay for tutoring and goes to night school to keep up with her studies. As she begins to get out of her car to enter the high school, a dark figure rushed up to her at lightning speed, clamping her mouth shut from screaming, and dragging her back into her truck.

It was the vampire boy, Edward.

A look of insanity and lust came into his blue eyes, and as Bella muffled through his hand trying to get away, he immediately pierced his sharp fangs through her neck. The girl became silent with shock and fear as she felt her blood being drained away. The crimson liquid poured into Edward veins, a feeling of relief and pleasure coming over him. It felt so nice.

He pulled away to stare at his victim and smirked. Bella's eyes were dead, but her heart was faint. She couldn't move and her breathing slowed with each passing second. He had done it. He had drunk from another human. It then struck Edward, "What should I do with her? Leave her to die, or..."

Edward was not a compassionate person, but he could not help but feel guilt. Bella had been his first live victim in years and it would be a shame to just leave her go to waste in an empty parking lot such as this.

He couldn't let her die. There was something about her that made her deem useful to Edward.

The young-looking vampire reached over the dying Bella and rummaged through her purse, luckily finding a switch-blade knife. "She must have used this for self-defense," Edward thought, "too bad it didn't work tonight." He opened the knife and suddenly slashed his wrist open, his tainted blood flowing down to his arm and elbow. Edward leaned his self-inflicted wound over Bella's mouth and said but one word,

"Drink."

That was the first night Edward had turned a human being into a vampire in ninety-three years.

SO WHAT DO YOU THINK OMG LOL

Gamer review

Sat, 05 Sep 2009 05:32:33 GMT

I was awesome enough to take my mom out and see Gamer the day it came out (the fourth) on my treat, and all I have to say is-

OH MY GOD THIS MOVIE WAS A BIG BUCKET MIXED WITH AWESOME AND BADASSERY. FUCKING SHIT I EXPLODED FROM THE SHEER SIGHT OF THIS MOVIE.

So the movie was a lot cooler than I expected it to be. I'll be reviewing three topics on the film: the action sequences, the characters, and the plot.

*WARNING: MAY CONTAIN SPOILERS. DO NOT READ IF YOU WANT TO SEE THIS FILM WITHOUT BEING SPOILED.*

The Action

It was brutal. I like how the directors/writers included the reality of death in SLAYERS (the game) and everyone's reactions to it. The prisoners were afraid (and I mean SCARED SHITLESS) for their lives everytime they were forced to play, but knew they had to continue on, as if they were in a war. THAT is what I like to see in movies- the REALITY and seriousness of it all. Death is a very widely exaggerated topic in films, and I understand that and why, but in this film when someone is shot, they don't have a chance to make a long speech or final words, they're shot down and that's the end. Just like in real life.

I felt they pulled a Michael Bay and added too much explosions, but it's not that big of a deal to me. It's Hollywood, baby, what are you gonna do?

Overall Rating for ACTION: 10/10

The Characters

I really enjoyed the characters in this film. Kable (Gerard Butler) was a very serious-mannered man and determined to set out what he needed to do- find his wife, daughter, and survive.

Simon (Logan Lerman) was a typical 17 year old and really took pride with Kable. I wish they could have elaborated more on his relationship with him besides the 'Owner-Icon' bond, though. Also, I'm wondering, what happened with him after Kable was set free? What did he do after SLAYERS? But his interaction with Kable was tolerable, and I really like them.

Ken (Michael C. Hall) was one badass motherfucker. He fucking SANG AND DANCED while Kable killed all of his mind-slaves. Best fight scene I've EVER seen. Pure awesome.

Overall rating for CHARACTERS: 9/10

The Plot

I argued in my last post about everyone crying and screaming "RIP OFF", so I won't get into that again.

I thought that this plot was very well thought-out, but felt that it was kind of... all over the place. I mean, it's called Gamer, right? You'd expect the entire movie to be about SLAYERS. However, the actual game itself is only shown in the first half hour and then Kable ends up fragged for breaking through a restricted area in the game. He's then shown to end up in the Society (a virtual rave-like society where apparently everyone has sex in public). How did he get there? Wasn't he in SLAYERS the last time he was mentioned? None of this is ever explained, but I assume that after Trace (a member of the organization called "Humanz" who try to break through the barrier of SLAYERS before everyone becomes controlled) took his blood from the prison, the Humanz team deactivated his chip that controls him in the game and ended up at the last second in Society.

Another problem with the plot I had was that it always shifted to scenes that involved sex or some sort of nymphomania. Now yes, I know it's a rated R movie and was warned it had sexual content and nudity, but all these continuous shots of tits and ass was just unnecessary. It had NOTHING to do with the main plot (besides the massacre at the rave) and I'm pretty sure it was all just filled in to attract a wide audience. Unless it's like a movie adaption of San Andreas or something, then it has no purpose to be in the film. Again, it's Hollywood and sex sells. What are you gonna do?

Also, what happened to the Humanz team? A screen was shown that they were massacred by Ken Castle's minions, but then Tracy and Angie (Kable's wife) are shown to be just fine. Did they escape? If so, how? Nothing is explained, and I thought that was a major flaw and a big gaping hole with the plot line.

However, the entire plot as a whole was not very bad. I did enjoy the countless head shots (lol) and each character's responsibility/what they were in charge of. I REEEALLY enjoyed Michael C. Hall's character though. Like I said above, the serial murders while singing and dancing? GENIUS.

Overall rating for PLOT: 8/10

Final Thoughts

So, overall, Gamer was not a bad film. It was good and I thoroughly enjoyed it from start to finish. The music wasn't too shabby either. Good game, Neveldine/Taylor. Good game.

OVERALL RATING FOR GAMER: 8/10

Gamer pre-review

Thu, 03 Sep 2009 02:22:12 GMT

I saw the trailer for the film Gamer when I went to see Transformers 2: Revenge of the Fallen a couple of months ago. When I watched it, I became stoked to see this film and couldn't wait for it to come out (this Friday). It looked like it had great characters, especially the way the actors portrayed them (especially Michael C. Hall and Logan Lerman), a decent and pretty cool plot, along with a future mind-control video game that I want really bad. Not to mention Marilyn Manson playing in the background- that was a big PLUS from me.

But then everyone was saying "OH IT'S JUST A RIP OFF OF DEATH RACE THIS WILL BE STUPID".

That's bullshit, from my point of view.

I saw Death Race, and it fucking SUCKED. In Death Race, you are required to have 5 races to win, and the main character (fuck whatever his name was, I hated this movie) only needs one more to win since the car he took over was from the previous owner and already had won 4 times.

In Gamer, the main point of the game is that you must win 30 trials of certain death to win your freedom, in which the main character, Kable (who is controlled by Simon through the video game), has already won 27 matches and needs only 3 more to gain his freedom from death-row prison.

These are the ONLY two similarities I see through both films, the other being that Gamer looks fucking awesome and Death Race was a piece of shit. There are PLENTY of other films that deal with playing deadly games to earn something the main charcater(s)desperately need. May I remind you faggots who scream RIP OFF of:

*The "Saw" franchise
*Mortal Kombat
*Even Bruce Lee's famous "The Game of Death" FOR CHRIST'S SAKE

If you know any other movies dealing with "games of death", please enter them in the comments. It's too late for me to search right now and I need to go to bed.

But seriously, you guys.

Just because they have this ONE thing in common, does not make it a goddamn "rip off". It's not even released yet, so how the fuck do you know how it will turn out? Fucking shit.

yes i realize i am raging like no tomorrow
once i get an imaginary camera with all my imaginary money, i will do my reviews on youtube YAYYYYYYY

The Used's 'Artwork' Album Review

Mon, 31 Aug 2009 20:34:21 GMT

Experience
I love The Used. Their albums sound different all the time and they never stick with the same genre as the last album, similar to AFI, Avenged Sevenfold, Incubus, and Pink Floyd. They all had different sounds, which meant that you would never be bored with the next album because you KNEW it would be something better than the last.

Their fourth studio album, Artwork, was released today, and I picked up a copy of it at Target. I listened to "Blood on My Hands" and thought, "WOW this album is going to blow my mind."

Sound
While the sound was very different from their last album Lies For the Liars, I felt like it was... lacking something. That little spark that makes The Used different from any other shit mainstream band out there. I can't describe it, but the album left me... empty. I wasn't in awe, fascinated, or infatuated at all with this one as I was with the rest of their albums.

Bert screams a lot less on Artwork, and tends to focus more on his regular vocals than screaming. This, I believe, is a good development through music and you can tell that he really wanted this to sound like nothing they've ever done before. He's right, because as we all know (or not) Bert's insane screaming has become The Used's trademark (example: "Sound Effects and Overdramatics)".

The sound of Artwork feels to me like a blend of how AFI did Decemberunderground- there are some electronic beats at the beginning of some of the songs and the lyrics are very "calm" in a way and a little bit more melancholy.

Overall
Now don't scream and whine at me that I suck for having an opinion and not thinking that Artwork is AMAAAAZING. I'm not saying it's BAD at all! It doesn't suck, it's actually very good, and I particularly enjoy bands that change their sound on each of their new albums. Despite leaving me hollow, I actually like it. You can tell they put a lot of effort into this as they do with everything they do and I respect that.

Perhaps I just need to listen to it a bit more to take some getting used to. Maybe then I will have a better opinion and better things to say about it afterward.

OVERALL RATING FOR 'Artwork': 7.5/10

Movie Reviews

Sat, 08 Aug 2009 22:03:34 GMT

We rented movies because we haven't done so in so long, and I managed to get a hold of The Haunting In Connecticut and Breakfast On Pluto (FINALLY). I even watched Over the Hedge with my little brother, so here goes my reviews!

Breakfast on Pluto

Breakfast on Pluto is based off the book of the same name by Patrick McCabe. Now, I haven'tread the book yet because I CAN'T FUCKING FIND IT *ANYWHERE*. I SWEAR TO GOD, I'VE BEEN TO EVERY BOOK STORE IN MY TOWN AND HAVEN'T FOUND SHIT. I AM DISAPPOINT

Anyway, I found the movie, watched it, and loved every second filmed. Cillian Murphy is my favorite male actor, and the way he performed made me happy, both in my pants and as a movie-lover. The acting was very heartwarming and realistic, and the characters were portrayed magnificently. The only problem I had with it was that sometimes when the scenes would change or if something happened, the film didn't manage to say precisely what was going on, so sometimes I could not understand what was going on at times (which is why I should read the book first). But besides that small flaw, the movie was very enjoyable and I really managed to connect with Kitten (Murphy)

Overall Rating: 10/10

The Haunting In Connecticut

When this movie first released, a lot of kids at my school said it wasn't all that scary but others said it frightened them to death. I was not able to go see it in theaters, but I was able to finally rent it.

The Haunting In Connecticut is "based on true events" of a family who's son, Matt (Kyle Gallner), is suffering from cancer. The hospital he visits everyday for treatment is very far from where they live, but the mother (Virgina Madsen) manages to buy a cheap but spacey home very close to it. However, the house has a violent history. She purchases it anyway for the sake of her son. As soon as they move in, Matt begins seeing terrifying visions of the house's past events and slowly becomes consumed in madness.

Now, the film itself isn't all that scary. I didn't have nightmares and managed to sleep with my lights off. I thought it was cheap to include "jump scenes" (when it's quiet one second and then loud with a scary image the next to startle you).

However, just because it wasn't scary, did not mean that it was a bad movie. It was more depressing and sad than it was horrifying. Madsen's performance on how she does not want to lose her son to cancer was both very realistic and upsetting, and the film actually made me very teary eyed once you learned everything at the end. Kyle Gallner's performance was also a big thumbs up for me- he was dramatic, but at the same time, his determination to get rid of the evil spirits in the house alongside Jonah's (Erik J. Berg) spirit had my cheering all the way.

While not scary and more of a hurt/comfort film, I would say that The Haunting In Connecticut is a very enjoyable film to watch.

Overall Rating: 8/10

Over the Hedge

Over the Hedge is a movie developed by Dreamworks from the original comic strips by Michael Fry and T. Lewis.

I am not a big fan of Dreamworks' animated pictures at all (besides Shrek and a couple of others) because they assume that if they have a famous voice cast but bad plot and cliche characters, then it will still be awesome. Yet, I decided to give Over the Hedge a chance.

I thought at first, "This is going to be a film about animals stealing food from humans? OKAY THEN BRING IT" thinking it would be bad. However, once I learned the story on how a raccoon, RJ (voiced by Bruce Willis) has to find food in one week or else Vincent (voice by Nick Nolte), a wild bear who's food gets lost by RJ, will kill and eat him instead. RJ meets up with a family of wild animals, including:

*father/daughter opossums, Ozzie and Heather (voice by William Shatner and Avril Lavigne respectfully)
*Verne, the leader of their "family" and a turtle (voiced by Gary Shandling)
*Hammy, a hyperactive red squirrel (voiced by Steve Carell)
*A family of porcupines, Lou, Penny, Spike, Bucky, Quillo (voices by Eugene Levy, Catherine O'Hara, Shane Baumel, Sami Kirkpatrick, and Madison Davenport respectfully)

I was expecting a full-on fuckfest, but what I got actually was a well-developed characters, plot, and decent humor and music. I did laugh (especially at the Dr. Phil part) and the way the characters interacted with each other was very heartwarming, and you can tell how much they cared about one another.

Overall Rating: 9/10

Cool story bro

Tue, 04 Aug 2009 19:23:34 GMT

ALRIGHT LONG POST WILL BE LONG. ONWARDS TO MY VACATION WITH MY POPS IN SANTA CRUZ.

After he picked me up at the airport with his girlfriend, we went to San Francisco's historical Haight and Ashbury. Looots of hipsters, commercial hippies, and homeless people on acid there. It was amazing: on every corner there was literally a smoke shop or a bar, lol. Shit was awesome as hell.

Then my older stepsister, Alicia, took me out with her totally rad boyfriend, Josh, downtown Santa Cruz a day later and we hung out. I bought two awesome plaid flannels for only $2 at the Salvation Army and we all ate pizza and laughed wholeheartedly. That pizza was SO FILLING OMG

I remember my dad saying he wanted to see UP, but never got a chance to (I had already seen it, but I pretended I didn't so we could all go see it). We all headed down the strip and went to this really old theater and the tickets were only 5 MEASLY DOLLARS. I WAS AMAZED AT THE CHEAPNESS. We all had a blat, and I cried yet again at the movie. ;__; SO TOUCHING BAAAAWWWW

A couple of days later, Alicia took me and Josh out to see Funny People. That movie was reeeeally good and fucking HILARIOUS. We all had an awesome time. The best part of it, was that this lady kept giving me this dirty look like I was sneaking in because Alicia bought my ticket for me since I'm not 17 or older yet. LMAO

THEEEEEEEN ON SATURDAY
We went back to San Francisco downtown to the de Young museum to see the King Tut exhibit. I took a hella lot of pictures. We all had a lot of fun there, everything was very interesting. Afterwards, we all headed out to the College Comedy Club (whole thing was BYOB haha) to see college students who are learning to become stand-up comics perform for us. They all had us in a riot- every single one of them had us rolling with laughter.

THEN THE NEXT DAY I HAD TO LEAVE ):

We drove to San Jose, ate Denny's in the morning, went to Nihonmachi (Japan Town), bought my mom a cute little Japanese purse as a souvenir, and said my goodbyes and thanks. HOWEVER my flight was delayed from 2:40 PM all the way to 4:00 fucking PM. So I had to wait inside an airport surrounded by people, and I am not very social when it comes to people- especially when there's a person behind you who can't sit fucking still in their chair and keep moving and annoying you in the process. RAGED FOR AN HOUR AND A HALF

BUT I MADE IT
THROUGH TEARS AND ANGER I MADE A SAFE FLIGHT BACK HOME.

Shit was so cash.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wozGxEMQSJM

Guys.
I SERIOUSLY NEED YOUR FRIENDLY ASSISTANCE LIKE WHOA.
I want to desperately learn this on my bass guitar, but no Jrock or any other guitar tab website has it. I've even asked peeps on YouTube, and you know how reliable they are there. *GLAREGLARE* The song has been around since the 90's, so I GUESS I can understand how hard it would be to find such tabs...

If-if any of you are musically gifted and can get this down by ear or have someone you know who's amazing at guitar and knows their shit, can you PLEASE HELP A BRO OUT HERE? My search has left me empty-handed and broken and lonely and so very, very sad. YOU SHALL BE GREATLY REWARDED

I'LL DRAW YOU WHATEVER YOU WANT
OR BUY A KLONDIKE BAR
AND SEND IT TO YOU BY MAIL
OR WHATEVER

PLZ HALP PLZZZZZZ

CUT IT

Tue, 21 Jul 2009 03:12:40 GMT

Soooo... LIVEJOURNAL.

I'll be leaving at the end of the month for one week to visit my dad up in Santa Cruz. I'll be gone from the 26th and will be back on the 2nd of August. My mom is going to be here with her boyfriend she's been dating for years and years and I never knew about him until now.

So, yeah, I'm kind of pissed at her for not telling me. I mean, at least let me know or something so I know you're not COMPLETELY fucking miserable and lonely. I know I sound selfish, but, COME ON. I at least have the right to know whether she's seeing someone.

So she'll be here with him without me or my brother around since we'll both be at our dad's visiting before school starts up again.

Whatever, I need a break from babysitting and yelling and screaming. It gives me a headache.

Not the babysitting, the yelling and screaming.

God, I hate that fucking shit.

Transformers, Stalkers, and Insane Stoners

Sat, 18 Jul 2009 05:34:21 GMT

Luz, Pam, Miranda and I all decided to do something together for once over summer, so we went and hung out and did some WACKY STUFF.

We walked around in the mall and I bought me a PRETTY BITCHIN' TRANSFORMERS SHIRT OH YEAH GO ME then I got a free bag with a skull on it for a buck for a donation. PRETTY RAD So then we went to this store where they sell puppies and this... guy kept following us around. Every corner we turned, HE WOULD BE THERE. IT WAS CREEPY AS HELL so we decided to leave and jump on over to Barnes and Noble to kill more time.

We all looked at some books and dvds. I had the best idea ever at that moment: Luz and I grabbed a Holy Bible and ran over to the books under the "SEXUALITY" section and placed under there. IT WAS FUCKING HILARIOUS I SWEAR TO GOD I told them one day I would do something like that with a Bible, and that day was today. Fuck yeah.

THEN WE GOT HUNGRY. Burger King. Was delicious and fun. Not much to say there.

Afterward, we hopped on over to the Dollar Tree and then Target. Our feet were killing us by the time we got into Target, so we walked around for a bit and then I found some chairs, so we all sat down to chill.

Here's the fucked part- as we sat and talked and joked around, suddenly, this girl from out of NOWHERE ran up to us on her cell phone and shoved her hand in Miranda's face and was all HI I'M BI(E)TTY (i don't know what she said she was fucking spazzing). Miranda ignored her and we all didn't say anything since she was obviously stoned as fuck and tripping out because her eyes were BLOODSHOT RED. When she found out she wasn't wanted she was all FINE I SEE HOW IT IS YOU FUCKING BITCHES FUCK YOU FUCKING BITCHES REMEMBER MY NAME YOU STUPID BITCHES BLAHABLAHBLAHWHINEMOAN then she stomped away with her shota tagging along.

Then me, being a sarcastic bastard, yelled out after her: I DON'T KNOW YOUR NAME DUDE YOU'RE FUCKING HIGH

We were a lot more BAFFLED at what had just happened then offended. I was lolling really fucking hard and Miranda was PISSED AS HELL. She got up and said "YOU KNOW WHAT LET'S GO. WE'RE GOING TO FIND THAT FAGGOT 8TH GRADER." We all skipped off and went.

She ran out before we caught up to her (and saw she was scaring the hell out of everyone and running up to random people and doing the same HI I'M A BITCH WHAT'S YOUR NAME *HANDSHAKE DEMAND* shit. A security guard looked out at her but didn't do anything (unfortunately) and then we went home.

Best
Friday
ever.

I've been teaching myself the Russian language.

And I have to say-

It's sad to know that I know more in this past week from teaching MYSELF than I have with 2 years of Spanish.

Now or Never

Sat, 16 May 2009 20:11:11 GMT

Did you say it?
I love you
I don't ever want to live without you
You changed my life
Did you say it?
Make a plan
Set a goal
Work toward it
But every now and then
Look around
Drink it in
Cause this is it
It might all be gone tomorrow.

fffffffffffftttt

Stop talking to me about having a new boyfriend or girlfriend. It's annoying and I could give two shits who you're dating and then going to dump within 7 weeks over the phone in less than 30 seconds.

Single people don't like to hear that shit. It's uh, gee i don't know, KIND OF DEPRESSING.

Don't be so fucking selfish and flaunt it to me, you faggots.
