[Idiot Pilot] Losing Color |
] |
So I'm doing what I sometimes do to pass time, I'm downloading music...or well at this point, looking for music. And I am finding some things interesting, not about music itself...well not directly, but about what I'm reading. While looking through my usual 'sources' I have an amazon window open to look things up and hear samples. Yesterday I found this great band Idiot Pilot, so now I'm spinning of whatever links amazon leads me to from them and hoping something catches my ears.
Just now I have come across My Chemical Romance and The Used, I've heard of these bands but I haven't necceserally 'heard' these bands. There is a reason for that, well probably reasons. I don't like following the crowd musically, but I mean that in time sensitive manner. Usually, I pick up on music way after it's been raped by tv, radio, and crazed gradeschoolers. That way I have a refreshing and unbiased sense of mind when I introduce myself to it. An exception to that is if a friend really recommends a band or if on a rare occasion the music I hear is absolutely amazing and I must have it. So anyway I went off on a slight tangent. New pagaraph, origional point.
I come across MCR and The Used and of course I listen to some samples and read amazon reviews. Now I never read 4/5 and 5/5 reviews...why should I? I always read the shitty <4 star reviews...because I want to see why people passionately hate something so badly. You may say bad rating doesn't mean hating with a passion, maybe something really is bad....no, if you've ever read comments...you'll know no one ever brings up constructive arguments about why so and so band or album 'sucks balls'. So, among all the amazing awesome comments I find enough 'playa haters' in the crowd. I will now hate the hate comments.
2/5 Stars - Mind You, This Is 2 Stars For Helena, Not The Album, June 19, 2005
Reviewer: A Music Fan "manpmn87" (Eden Prairie, Minnesota United States)
Ok, I have to tell you, I have only heard one song by My Chemical Romance. As you probably have deciphered from the title of this review, that particular song happened to be "Helena." I heard this song by seeing the video off of MTV. Personally, I found it a bit obnoxious. The lead singer of the band, Gerard Way (who I think looks a hell of a lot like The Smashing Pumpkins Billy Corgan) looks as though he is about to break into tears throughout the majority of the video. Now don't get me wrong, I'm not slandering this band, saying that they "suck" and trying to persuade you not to buy "Three Cheers For Sweet Revenge." Here is what I recommend; Listen to some samples off of Amazon right now! If you like the music, then I say you should pick up a copy of the new album. If you do not care for My Chemical Romance, like I do, you should not purchase a copy. Remember, I have only heard 1/13 of the album. This is certaintly not enough to judge and I know that I could not do any better myself. Why don't you give MCR a try? Give 'Em Hell, Kid!
Why the fuck did he even write a god damn review? For all that is logical....WHY OH WHY??!?!?!?
Ok so he didn't like that one song too much. Lets break it all down.
* He saw video on MTV
*-- He makes an opinion on what he thinks about the look of the lead singer, mood of the video
*-- He doesn't judge the music on any level yet he rates it 2/5
*-- He is an idiot

1/5 Stars - Lets have posers for fans!, June 13, 2005
Reviewer: Burn Before I Wake Up "Blue 42" (Wisconsin)
Yeah, these guys are terrible. You call this music? It's called Make-Up, cause that's all they focus on. Now, please don't cry if you're reading this, because every word is true. I think the biggest reason MCR ever got so much fame was because they went on the Taste of Chaos with The Used, who are now terrible as well. This year is a sad and good year for emo, considering MCR might be releasing another album ( I don't remember when they released their other album ). This is just junk, go listen to real music, and if you want to see people look good in make-up, go look at women.
Ok well, I don't even know what the band looks like...just pointing that out. But this guy has some sort of homosexual insecurities cus he's really lashing out on makeup. I guess he's never listened to any 80's hair metal...which automatically means he should be executed. MCR are terrible? Why? It's called music? Yes! I'm not crying cus you're an idiot. Emo? What's emo? Poser? Everyone's a poser you idiot. Expression is about making connections, relating, feeling things, being emotional, etc... Oh wait you're a teenager, you think that you're the most special and unique person on the planet. Why don'y you start your own band you fucktard.
Go listen to real music? Any examples you want to give me? That's why I'm reading your review you fucking idiot. Show me this 'better' music lol. Wtf does better mean? If you don't like makeup, that's cool...wtf does that have to do with anything? What if I don't like underwear...does that mean they suck cus they wear underwear? Idiot.

1/5 Stars - disgrace 2 rock and all music in genaral, June 11, 2005
Reviewer: K. Rowland (Atlanta, Georgia USA)
first of all i would like 2 say this is the worst disgrace 2 rock ever, this band is going 2 b responsible for rocks death rock is very quickly falling 2 "emo" which is awful. and this band is one of the key problems. no musical talent no talent at all this is the worst guitar playing i have heard in my life my little cousin could do this. the whole band is just flat out awful what ever happened 2 distorted guitar and wah wah effects?!?!?if u even remotly play ne instrament do not listen to this brain wash it is terrible. please check out these REAL bands. Nirvana,mudhoney,screaming trees,black flag,minor threat,jimi hendrix,black sabbath,blue cheer,melvins,soundgarden,alice in chains, alice cooper, dinosaur jr, sonic youth, the stooges, mc5, and much more like this please steer clear of this mcr musical damage
First of all I would like to point out how incapable I am of typing legibly in a publicly reviewed forum where people want to take others' opinions seriously. Lets break this down.
* Worst disgrace to rock ever? You must be like two months old to think this is the worst disgrace, if one at all.
* Responcible for rock's death? Hahahaha idiot, go watch mtv.
* No musical talent? Why they don't play up to your standards? Maybe you don't appreciate the beauty in simplicity, or maybe you simply don't have the capacity to enjoy it. That's ok, but construct your argument properly you retard.
* Emo is awful? Whatever emo is, thats fine if it's awful. Don't listen to it you dork.
* Worst guitar playing? Maybe, but it works for them...and there are people who enjoy it. Telling me Nirvana plays better? 90% of rock today is power chords baby...the music is not 100% in technique, but also in creativity, composition and presentation.
* Distorted guitars and wah's? They are still here, you're just deaf because your brain isn't capable of discerning sounds. That's cool though, everyone has to start somewhere. Go listen to the beatles and some hendrix. Then try to play it. Then shut the fuck up.
* Real bands? Hahahaha ok lets see...
*-- Nirvana = catalyst, revolution, machine of change, inspiration, media hyped. Nirvana != genius, special, holy, better than everyone. They are great yeah, but they are not the center of the musical universe.
*-- mudhoney, haven't heard of them
*-- screaming trees, haven't heard
*-- shit i haven't heard of many of these...oh my, i'm uncultured...lets stick to ones i know
*-- hendrix - ya he's awesome, but grow up...everyone else did that were influenced by him.
*-- black sabbath - haha sorry ozzy is way to fucking old school, and his music can be played by unborn children. wtf is your point you brainless shit?
*-- soundgarden? alright...don't care for them too much, great that you like em though.. have fun
*-- i'm tired of this list
Atleast you listed examples of bands that YOU LIKE though you haven't presented WHY they are BETTER IN ALL WAYS than MCR...but that's ok, you're still in school....not that it will help you
Ok, so after these MCR comments I followed a link to The Used...lets check this out.
1/5 Stars - Someone shoot me or this band, June 11, 2005
Reviewer: K. Rowland (Atlanta, Georgia USA)
this band is killing rock and roll with the likes of mcr and emo music somehow getting into the mainstream. how this happened still puzzles me these musicians cant play at all, the whole band is awful this is the worst guitarist ever, and then they jump around like thier bad ass. i cant decide which band i hate more this band or mcr but steer clear of this rock and roll blasphemy!!!!!this music is so bad i would give it less than a one if i could!!!please check out these REAL bands. Nirvana,mudhoney,screaming trees,black flag,minor threat,jimi hendrix,black sabbath,blue cheer,melvins,soundgarden,alice in chains, alice cooper, dinosaur jr, sonic youth, the stooges, mc5, the doors, stp, metallica, firjid pink, hole, babes in toyland, tad, ALL THESE BANDS ARE EXAMPLES OF BANDS THAT ARE NOT TOTAL SELLOUTS AND THAT ARE IN IT FOR THE MUSIC and much more like this please steer clear of this mcr musical damage, AND SOMEONE PLEASE DIG UP KURT COBAIN WILL YOU WE NEED HIM NOW MORE THAN EVER!!
Haha I love how whenever someone doesn't like a band, they say it's killing something that they know or understand nothing about...in this case 'rock and roll'. Somehow getting in to the mainstream? It's because mainstream = teenagers, and teenagers = predictable, easy to satisfy... point = teenagers sell. Doesn't mean it's bad music though, you're looking at all this completely wrong...retard. They can't play? Guess they aren't playing...stuff is just magically happening, mmm g minor, a flat, b major, e pentatonic scale, c harmonic, hmm sounds like music to me...go fuck a goat. Oh wait it's the same guy that I just talked about before!!! What a surprise. Go fuck a goat...wait I already said that...um....go fuck a goat.

2/5 Stars - "Oh, my gawd, lyke.. ", June 7, 2005
Reviewer: Burn Before I Wake Up "Blue 42" (Wisconsin)
First off.. I just have to say.. this album is one of the worst follow-ups ever. This does NOT sound like The Used at all! This is some silly-faggot pop-emo-prep crap. I expected The Used to stay strong, and make a good follow-up. It's a good thing I didn't buy this album like I planned on. This isn't even half as good as their old album. First, A Static Lullaby goes bad.. Now it's the Used.. next it'll be Dead Poetic.. and then the world will end. The only good song on this album is "Take it Away" along with another song, I don't remember the name.. P-a-t-h-e-t-i-c w-a-s-t-e o-f m-o-n-e-y and t-i-m-e . Period.
Hah you know what this means, it means that The Used may actually be a good band. Because they are willing to evolve, try new things, take risks, instead of sell out and conform to a money formula...looks like you've got your mind all twisted buddy. Silly faggot pop emo prep crap? Haha thats cool, don't listen to it. But alot of people like it. Just like alot of people like that freak michale jackson, I couldn't give a crap about him and I don't...cus I have plenty of other things to occupy and interest my mind. Aww the world will end because you only liked three bands and now they are disappointing you. Looser, get a life.
You are a pathetic waste of money and time, I should let your parents know.

3/5 - My first taste of The Used, June 7, 2005
Reviewer: Petar Vodogaz "Commissioner" (Sydney, NSW Australia)
The first time I heard about this band was through listening to their song 'All That I've Got'. Having listened and liked that song I decided to purchase the entire CD. First off this band shows alot of potential however like several other bands out in the alternative rock genre they sound too much alike other groups. What makes or break a band is their individualism and through their own sound and gimmick do they attain a identity that people know them by. Secondly though, it was an enjoyable CD all the same.
From what I hear this is The Used' second album and for me to fully appreciate their sound I will get the first album. Another good song on this release is 'Take It Away' and 'Yesterday's Feelings'. This band is young and through career experience they should be able to adopt their own sound and stick with it and gain a strong identity say like Staind or U2 has.
Thats what a comment should be like. Opinionated, structured...somewhat, and thoughtful...not chaotically bashfull and lame.
In conclusion, I only heard a couple of 30 second clips from both bands. I am in no way in love with them or can't even say for sure that I particularly like them...but I will give them a go and listen. See if they will grow on me. Will try to maybe play some of their stuff. Will thoughrully break down everything I hear, will think through the lyrics. But most of all, I'm going to try and enjoy music. Because that's what music is about, enjoyment. This isn't a government, a religion, a belief, or a system of any sort of kind. It's art. A form of expression. It has no requirements, no standards, it's about freedom.
It's ok though, you're all just kids. Being rebellious, disliking things, getting passionate, loosing your mind, being stupid, careless, and just plain dumb...that's what it's all about. Just stay off the internet, for god's sake, or atleast learn to communicate...just a teeny weeny bit better. Or I will kill you all. I can do it. Ask anyone. Really.
As a side not, for anyone who doesn't support 'downloading' of music. Kiss my ass. If I really love something, I will contribute towards it. If it wasn't for this freedom of distribution and aquisition, I wouldn't have spent 99% of the money that I have on cd's that I currently own. And I would've had a god awful taste in music probably too...thanks to mtv. So blow me you fuckers. I'm gonna download some MCR and The Used now.
Peace bitches.
p.s. i pwned your friends view and no i will not lj-cut it

I just had the most fucked up dream ever. It was about julie et al. I really shouldn't describe it in detail...because the imagery was pretty twisted, not that it was bad...but neither was it good really. I am trying really hard to interpret what it means to me. I remember seeing her brother, hah he wasn't skinny and dorky anymore...he buffed up a bit and had a crew cut and looked really good. Somehow the character of Julie was very manipulative and spitfull in my dream...and this is a dream, so these qualities brought up some really fucked up events. Maybe it is a reflection of my actions and feelings, or maybe sadly that's how I am coming to remember her. Whether it is completely my fault or not, the Julie as she is to me right now...atleast in my mind still, just boils up the negativity in me. If we were ever, ever, to become friends again...it would require very steady steps to therapy my way out of my current state. Yesterday a bunch of students swarmed the tac where I work, and I smelled a scent exactly like Julie's....it almost drove me insane, I honestly was ready to leave the room. Why does she have such an effect on me. Is it even her or am I just crazy? I think that smell was what made me have this dream. Yep, I'm crazy.
When I think about her now, I wonder if I made the healthiest choice...but life is not about regret I suppose. If I hate anything it's not her, it's how I felt when it was over...and that is all my fault really, or is that the best way my mind can deal with it...hmm. I hope she's happy, I hope she doesn't think about me. I hope she get's in to vet school, gets married, and lives a happy life. I hope that one day I'll get to tell her that she was the better person through all this and she forgives me.
She stopped writing in lj, her life must be going pretty well then....I have nothing to worry about then.
Anyway, it's time for this area of episodic memory to shut down for a long time.

| why do i write? |
[14 Jun 2005|08:26pm] |
i realize that there is no consistensy of expression in this journal and have pondered over why my writing habits are such. it has come to my attention that most of my writing is just a sorry excuse for lack of interaction, atleast in part. i realize that i write things that i am just not immediately able, or atleast feel that i'm not, to communicate my thoughts with someone; essentially, when there's no one around to listen....that i care for. on the other hand though writing opens my thoughts to a wider audience and also preserves the chain of thought i have chose to express.
so, at the moment...i've really got no one to talk to...hah so i've written this post :P

So one of Johnny's recent posts brought out in to the open a collective of thoughts that I've had that now are just itching to be organized in to some form of writing. So here I go. Beware, for this is what I think.
What is the topic of discussion? Well nothing to be surprised about, I'm going to talk about relationships. My observations and conclusions are based solely on my personal relationships with people, and I use that word here on a broad scale that goes beyond the 'dating' spectrum and includes all my friends. Essentially, the following will be based on everything I've experienced through any sort of interaction with people that I know. I will mostly focus on myself though, as I can never truly know what really makes others happy...I can only imagine and make the best of it.
Before anything else I would like to describe the concept of relationships on a cold rational level, and this can essentially stretch in to any form of social construct. On a primitive level, all willful interaction can be thought of as selfish acts. Well maybe selfish is not the proper word, most will agree that selfish describes acts of personal gain that disregard the interests, desires, and possibly the well being of others. No I guess I shouldn't use selfish, but I will say that all social interactions are performed for some sort of personal gain. Personal gain can be physiological, psychological, or material. So on a primitive level it can be accepted that each interaction is an act of give or take that satisfies one or more of those three categories. I should probably make a few examples so here goes. Physiological exchange, well that's easy, how about a kiss? In fact a kiss is also psychological. Kissing is such a versatile act; depending on the kiss, many different things can be accomplished. For a psychological exchange lets think of the feelings of security, being needed, being important, and being wanted. All those are things that we want to feel and are things that we want to provide to one another in exchange. Humans are social beings, satisfying interactions are almost euphoric and the lack of interaction is more or less quite depressing. I don't believe I need to describe material exchanges. It is fair to point out that no interaction is usually isolated to one type, almost everything is a good mix. So I conclude that social interactions are on their primitive level simply commodity trades, the commodity is stimuli....hopefully positive stimuli.
Now I should talk about what it is that I desire myself. What have I been looking for? What makes me happy? Well, those concepts are very time sensitive, as in past versus now versus future. From then to now it has been an evolving progression, through self discovery and through accomplished goals. What I mean to say is that in fifth grade I had a crush on a girl and all I could think of then was of her acknowledging me and that she possibly liked me, and maybe giving me a little kiss. I simply could not think beyond that goal because it seemed astronomical. Today, the goal is much further away beyond the point of acknowledging interest, kissing, and well other obvious things. What is important for me to point out though is that this journey of mine, this quest for that someone, it has felt so profound for so many years. I don't know how some people experience their desires to be with someone, but I often observe them to be very shallow. I cannot relate to that, I have always felt a sinking feeling, an overwhelming desire to have someone by my side, yes even ten years ago this feeling was that overwhelming. Along the path of life, the experiences that I have managed to accomplish, have only evolved my feelings and furthered my goal. But who thinks about things like life-long courtship when they haven't hit puberty yet, it's natural for feelings to evolve as one grows. Remember what I just said, I'll repeat it once more by itself. It is natural for feelings to evolve as one grows. It is an uncontrollable factor, the only thing one can do is influence how those feelings grow. I will come back to this later.
What is love? Is it absolute, or relative? Can it be defined, explained in everyday terms, predicted, replicated, tested? Who knows really? And is there a point to even asking that? I'm not sure yet. I thought I was in love, a couple of times. Maybe I was. I like to think that I was. Because I was so extremely happy. "I was in love," somehow that is such an easy and natural way to describe how amazing it was. Unfortunately then I realize that I said "was" and that kills the whole thing for me. Love in my eyes is not an absolute glue that holds people together no matter what. Love is not something, extraordinary. I think it should not be though of as something that one can 'have' but as something that one will do anything for. In essence, those seeking love are seeking someone to love. If love itself has any manifestation, it is that of the other person. The person that makes your life everything you ever wanted it to be and more. Haha, so can one truly be in love? Yes, many times a day even....hahaha get it? Ok so that was a little joke. Alright I must switch from this abstract love paragraph in to more practical observations.
OK well, unfortunately I have to go to work, so I'll have to finish this later.
....
Hah you know, I give up writing about this. I just talked to a friend about lots of things for a good while and it's not in me to reitirate again how I feel about these things.
Maybe another day.

[Zeromancer] Flirt (With Me) |
] |
long weekend. i will try to recap as much as i can remember.
thursday i woke up at 7am and did last minute packing and left for work. my shift was 8-2 and the bus was leaving at 4.30, so i had some time to hang around after my shift ended. the day was very slow, as in work, yet very fast, as in time flew. all i did was watch aqua teen and play my guitar...hah yes at work. tim came to work and we grabbed some lunch and killed some time, afterward elias and viv picked me up and drove me to the commuter lot where the bus was getting ready to head out in a bit. the ride was pretty boring, i had an isle seat and spent most of my time dosing off either to whatever movie was playing on the shitty tv/sound system or listening to my music. i got to the pompano stop around 10 and my parents picked me up shortly. had a nice lil dinner and chatted with the folks and called it a night.
friday i woke up at 7.30am for some odd reason, having gone to sleep at about 1am. anyway, i knew katie was leaving school at noon and i wanted to go to the beach with her, so i wouldn't really leave the house until the early evening. so i hung out with mom most of the day. around 3 we headed to the beach and told katie to just meet us there, she was handling some business about my bday gift at the mall so she'd be late. the weather was pretty windy, but still nice...i missed the beach so i enjoyed myself. after about an hour katie came by but without a bathing suit because her mall errand got messed up (it's ok :P). well, that was a sign to think of something else. so we decided to just drive off and see a movie or something. she mentioned that madagascar came out and we just totally had to go see it together. drove over to our muvico, got tickets, got some nachos, watched the movie, laughed our asses off, it was great. afterward we went back to my place and layed around watching tv, the sixty inch lcd rear projection high def sony tv is awesome...hd channels are amazing. i was in heaven. katie passed out for a short nap, after which she came to and had to go home. so we farewelled and i went to bed...around 1am again.
saturday i woke up at about 6am to start getting ready to go diving with dad. all said and done by 8am we were at the dock loading our stuff, the morning was absolutely perfect. we did two dives as always. the first dive was a wreck dive, top of the wreck was about fifty feet and the sandy bottom was around seventy feet. visibility was average, but we had fun. the second dive was way better, it was a coral reef dive of around sixty feet. we all broke up in to groups with our own little flags, our group was myself, dad, and this lady that we met who didn't have a dive buddy. i love reef dives because i can 'fly' over the reefs and chase fishies...haha i'm a dork, even underwater. when we came up finally, the boat came around to a group that was not too far from us to get them, we just swam over and got on instead of waiting. there were about four more groups ready to get picked up, so me and dad enjoyed the opportunity to take all our gear off and dive off the boat while the other divers were getting back on. it was fun. by noon we were heading back to the docks. after all the unloading, recharging the air tanks, and other business, we got home sometime after 3pm. after unloading and cleaning our gear and taking showers, it was around 4 and dad suggested that we go grab grandma from her work and all go out and eat sushi....hells ya i won't pass on some sushi. i was sure katie was bored all day, that and...well i just wanted to see her, i gave her a call and made some plans. parents drove to get grandma, i stayed home and waited for katie to come by. then at a good point in time we left, timing so we'd all meet up at sushi around the same time. mmm i love sushi, i ate a load as always. my parents kept pressuring kate to eat something lol so she finally gave in and had some california rolls (:P). after the dinner we went back home and just lounged around the living room and watched tv in to the night. kate was with me when it crossed over midnight, that was cool. this time i passed out and when i woke up the tv was off and she was gone :( lol. well time for bed i guess.
sunday, another early morning...we woke up around 7 and started getting ready. around 8.30 we left...which we considered late, and headed to john loyd park. we got to the park at 9.30 and the place was being filled up by the insane collective population of south florida latino's. anyway, because i didn't realize we were going to this park till almost last minute, i didn't really explicitly mention to anyone that unless they came by 11 the latest, they wouldn't even get in. which basically happened, but more on that later. because the park was being so seriously populated, all the benches and grills were already taken. even the pavilions were reserved (and some of them weren't even fucking used the whole time we were there). also all the huge trees were being cut down for some forsaken reason, so there was no shade at all, what the fuck are they doing to that park...i dunno. we had to improvise. me and dad drove out of the park, leaving grandma, mom, and aunt with all the stuff, and went on a mission to find stuff. we stopped at a publix near by and found an unfolding table-bench thingy that was neat and also located a ten by ten foot gazebo. sweet, mission accomplished. we went back and set the gazebo and table right on the beach, practically 20 feet away from the water. now we had awesome shade, a table, and other stuff we already had functioned perfectly with this scenario. we also had our own grill, so we were ready to rock and roll. so... back to the being late thing. tim, alvin, and katie were supposed to join us. tim and alvin called at around 11.15 telling me the park got closed and the sheriff was telling everyone to go home. shit shit shit, thank you you fuckers. so, tim and alvin just went to another beach spot and agreed to just do something together later. i had to call katie and let her know that shit got fucked up. dad came up with the idea that she could park at the nearby beach that wasn't part of the park and just walk up to us...it would take around 40 minutes of casual strolling...but katie came through and did it. i ran up to meet her, and the day was salvaged. it appears that because some people couldn't make it or were out of town, the gathering didn't end up being big like i possibly planned. therefore i didn't mind not calling everyone single person i knew to try to get them to conform to our crazy plans. i was happy that at least one friend made it and joined me and my family for my time there. so, we had lots of fun, went snorkeling, ate lots of food, got nice crispy tans, the day was beautiful. at some point i heard thunder, me and kate were down the beach so we started heading back. when we got back to our spot we discovered that all our stuff was already packed away and it was a bit past 4.30 and katie's parking meter was out...what perfect timing. hopped in dad's truck and headed to get her car. parents planned on taking grandma straight back, which means the trip will be long. kate was going to drive to our house though to hang out and that wouldn't work out since she'd get there before us, so i just took dad's house key and gate card and drove home with katie. we got home, took showers, and could finally relax and the best couch that exists lol. parents got home a while afterward. helped dad take care of the gear and stuff, we had a little cake and stuff and lounged around the living room once again. tim and alvin called said they were going to dave and busters, so we joined them. dave and busters changed in the six or so years since i've last been there. restaurant, bar, pool hall, sports bar, arcade, it's sweet. i charged up a power card and ran around playing all sorts of games with katie. tim and alvin got me some bday drinks and got me all tipsy and it was sweet. we all had lots of fun. once i ran out of game chips it was just in time because the place would be closing soon. i was in a pretty amusing shape hehe so katie drove us back home. we watched some more tv till dad came down at like 2.30am and told us to go to bed. katie didn't want to sleep alone so she passed out with me.
monday morning she woke up, told me toodles and went home. i'll see her pretty soon once she moves up. it was nice sleeping in finally. we had lunch and headed to the mall where i hung out with mom and dad. in a little while i joined up there with tim and alvin split off from my folks so we could hang out. in a couple of hours we started heading back to my place to get all my stuff, stopped by at dairy queen for a little filler up before the trip. got all my stuff together at home, and was ready to leave. kissed mom and dad goodbye, everyone said their farewells, and we headed out. we had a cool trip back together, way more fun doing it that way then taking the bus back. we stopped in ocala for some all you can eat chinese too...mmmm. and i finally made it home at about 10.30pm. unpacked, fed booger, said nite to kate, and started writing this....seems like it's been a couple of hours already lol.
i had a great vacation. i'm sorry i didn't get to hang out with more people. but i could only manage so much chaos while attempting to also relax and not be too busy all this time. i missed my family and loved spending some time with them. katie also completely made my birthday for me. she gave me a h.i.m. shirt and a sweet silver bracelet with my name. (thankies ^_^). my family also collectively donated over six hundred dollars to the steve foundation. as much as i'd love to use some of it to get myself a gift, i may have to hold off because immediate life supporting spendings are higher on the priority list.
i know i made a million typos...but it's late :P
i am 21. the end.
;)

Haha like I even had to take this quiz. I don't know why being a sex god requires me to look gay like that.

cleaning day
my birthday is in 19 days. i will be 21. i am not where i thought i would be at this point but i do not mean that negatively. it just appears that life is full of surprises. i am just happy to say that i have already experienced love, death, learned what it is like to really be by myself, and gotten laid more times than there are fingers on my body multiplied by how many fingers there are on my body....haha
so what now, what happens when i turn 21? not much that i can think of, except now i can enjoy a glass of wine with my dinner and get my younger friends intoxicated. i am in a financial black hole at the moment. i realise that to bus back home for 3 days to hang out and watch star wars with my friends will cost me approximately $150 because of missed work and bus fare, and i cannot simply afford that. on that same note i cannot personally affor to go home for my birthday, or really do anything exciting at all period. i stopped having birthday parties around 15 though, so nothing will be different really. i just wish i could spend the day with those close to my heart. do you realize that i'm 1/3 of the way to retirement? 1/3! that's a big fraction, i don't even have a professional job yet, haha that's an interesting observation.
as much thought i can dish out on heavy introspection, i won't. today is a beautiful day. there are things coming that i am looking forward to, that is enough to carry me through life for now.
