Owned by a Ten Year Old Girl
So Natalie and _____ start teasing me a bit, eventually asking questions about me. Here are some examples:
"How many friends do you have?"
"4: Timmy, Jimmy, Bimmy, and Eustace."
"Only four friends?! *LOL*"
"Do you have a girlfriend?"
... This one was the scathing one. After a sigh and a "no," I got the heat. I then asked if they had boyfriends, proceeding to do my "OOOooooooooooooooooooh" dance right after that saying "OOOooooooooooooooooooooooh..." not really
This was after I didn't exactly... "stop" when running for a drop volley, hitting my thumb on the wire holding up the net, which was surprisingly painful. My thumb was red and swollen, so I was kinda ______ing (forgot the word) it. This is mostly paraphrasing
"What's wrong with your thumb?"
"It hurts"
"Do you have a mole? Is that what hurts?"
"Yes, actually, I was born without a thumb, but I had a rather large mole next to it. With a little makeup and cosmetic surgery, the doctors got it to look pretty real"
They then proceeded to laugh. When the mumblers (the Hock freshwomen... if that's not h@x to say) came into the line we were waiting in, they then said "GUESS WHAT HE SAID!" Next was one of the weirdest things ever. I think I said "those kids and their crazy imaginations."
"Did you go to Homecoming?"
"Yes"
This question intrigued me. How would they know about Homecoming? I'm fourteen, they probably think I'm going to prom and about to graduate college or something (older kids are all the same).
"Who was your date?"
"Katherine"
This time, I was looking in their direction beforehand, so I saw when they scampered over to Aline (sp!??!) and Kate (sp?...?), who then inquired quietly the last name to Natalie and ______. I didn't know what the hell was happening, but I think I was being stalk-mocked O.o I then said "what," or something, and it was suddenly time for the next drill/game
Yeah I'm totally confused about that, and I haven't been to tennis since, so I don't know what the hell went on to this very day

Update on I Can't Believe It's Not Travis
enjoy it
And to add some so this isn't a complete waste of a post (even though iCBiNT is fantastic, kudos), I must say December has been my most productive month blogging wise, but some of these posts should have been combined. This would not produce a "super post" (those are probably hax legally anyway), but maybe something that could pass off as readable to the untrained eye, like mine. I really should add more to those needing more... maybe reviews?

The Two-Parter: RANDOM and Comments on The OHB
ANYWAY AGAIN back to The Rite of Spring, I'm lookin (again with the blogger spell checking...) at the bassoon intro's (spell check!??!?!) sheet music, and apparently the first notes are quintuplets. The next thing I said (the aforementioned thought) was "is that legal?!?!" Seriously, this is so hard to comprehend, becoming a world class musician just got that much harder for me. Damn you, good music. Oh and Blogger is out of Beta today. Very nice
This also needs more added once I wake up
OH I REMEMBER THE OTHER THOUGHT I THOUGHT
So far, FIVE people have created their own blogs after reading mine (cept one sorta not but you don't need to know about that)!!! Thank you for making me feel useful
Oh, and before I forget, I have some comments (not the kind you leave, just... me... commenting) on my blog. The only recurring sentiment about my beloved text baby is that it absolutely reeks of my mannerisms and "tude." Or, in their words, they can picture me saying everything that I post. I'm pretty sure that's a compliment, but then again, I'm not exactly a fantastic speaker... But I'll take it as a compliment anyway!!
This is passable as a post, right? Good... I've trained you noble few (emphasis on few) readers well
Someone: Wassup
Me: Trying to pass some text off as a blog post

A Look Inside the Upcoming, "A Very Strange Day, Indeedy"
-Sprint to the door in english
-no shoes, thought i had them, confronted by Fx and ignored by baird
-free fresca, chick fil a
-no phish quotes
-giancarlos father died. this is not funny. seriously... but forget about it now because......
-epilepsy, however, is hilarious
Yeah, I probably will finish the above post (which is rather old) later, but this one is DONE, SON. Actually, don't be surprised if I just copy and paste an email about that above thing and call it a post... However I need some quotes before this is done
Moomoocrunchy 01: so, how was that gathering?
Moomoocrunchy 01: not a party, of course
There must've been at least a thousand quotes from tonight, but I can't remember... maybe one about Sean having relations with a goat according to a high police officer but it was actually Matthew who was also high along with Sean and myself...
This is to be edited for de-crapification

The Greatest Picture Ever
First off, this is not my picture, this masterpiece is Phish's doing. Plus, I didn't even ask permission to post this even though it's not mine or in any way affiliated with me... whatever it's the greatest picture ever. Love the picture. Be the picture. I can't believe it's not travis... greatest socca ball games ever.
Now that I have created "I Can't Believe It's Not Travis," what is there left for me in life? I've practically beaten the last boss... of life

Wha' Happened?
This is maybe one of the greatest comedic monologues in a movie EVER... no joke. I'm serious, Fred Willard is one of the most consistantly funny people alive. Hey, wha' happened? classic...
Beck - Loser
This is a little song never meant to be big, but anybody who hears it should immediately know that the radio would love it. Just heard it last week and now I'm trying to find a place to buy my organs or at least trade them for some beck cds.

Frank Zappa - King Kong (1968)
A great performance of a really really long jazz/classical/avant garde piece shortened to just the good stuff, performed live at the BBC. This is the earliest Mothers of Invention video I have seen for a while, and this song is from their third album (I believe), Uncle Meat
Change is good because there's no way this could get worse

An Interesting Revelation (To Me, at Least)
*scratches head*
monologues tomorrow
gone over mine until i want to strangle it
thats it, ive lost it
*strangle strangle strangle*
quoth the monologue:
"ow"
A new tradition has begun: every blog post *must* end in a Phish quote. Now, if my blog slows down, don't blame me for being lazy, blame Phish for not being funny enough (and me for not remembering what he says...)
Me: So Phish we need to
Phish: What's that? Oh, I'm sorry, I can't hear you over how awesome I am

Dots and Sinners
I've seen four movies lately, but one doesn't count because it had Jerry Seinfeld in it. The first two are A Mighty Wind and Best In Show, both starring, directed, and written by Christopher Guest. The cast mostly carries over from Best In Show for A Mighty Wind, and it's really refreshing to see these actors take on and construct (the dialogue was primarily improvised) entirely new and different characters. Both were hilarious, but A Mighty Wind was not nearly as funny as Best In Show. The times I laughed the hardest, though, were sometimes the deleted scenes. Because so much footage was shot and only so much was needed to flesh out the characters, sometimes certain scenes were deemed to be too similar and cut. Check em out if you rent either movie. However, no question the funniest person in either film, the Nigel Tufnel of both movies, was Fred Willard. Watch for his hilarious bits and improv genius in his office scene in A Mighty Wind, his interviews in Best In Show, and every other time he's EVER on screen. You'll love both if you like comedy, but neither is perfect. Thumbs up for both, and even if these two are 10 times better than For Your Consideration, Guest's new movie, I will still see it and laugh. Both are classics, just like the other movie, Tenacious D and the Pick of Destiny. We have a club... The Tenacious D Movie Watching Club, or the TTDMWC (or titidimwick). We shall meet twice... once was the opening day of the movie, once when it comes out on DVD. It shall be glorious. If you like the D, watch the movie. If you don't, stop reading this blog and get a life (although they are stupid). If you want some more comedy, though, watch KITH
Lastly, I have been playing tennis a lot recently... primarily against little children who are better tennis players than me. Considering that I'm literally the only one in my group who can do a push-up, the strongest, the fastest, and the tallest (especially the last one), it's really pathetic that I keep losing. Hopefully I won't lose much longer, peace

Hey You
So the ISAS has been, in essence, cancelled. An "all Dallas" ISAS is like an "all Alaska" Super Bowl, it's just going to be a bunch of people clamoring for an expert to refer to. I suppose this is gravely exaggerated, but wth, three people who don't care anyway are the only people who read this piece of crap... it's a shame. Why
Maybe I'll delve into metaphysics... or just basic (albeit more profound and often deeper) contemplation on the nature of existence... this blog works well as a diary. For me, blogging is like having a diary. However, my blog, seeing as I am a cheap-ass, has no lock, unlike most sane people's diaries. The presented problem of private sentiments and information being revealed to friends or acquaintences whom I would rather not know is perfectly harmless, for you see, nobody actually READS this blog. I could say the most racist thing possible... I could slander everything there is to slander and be left totally unharmed... like a lunatic in the grass (unintentional DSotM quote), if you get the imagery. If you really wish to know what I think... tell me two things the last point made was supposed to convey.
I have thought this particular entry though carefully and meticulously, leaving no opened doors unventured and doing no sentiments disjustice by tainting them with my inherently inadequate human (relatively poor, for a human, as well) rhetoric. If only I could write this well for English class... it really is a shame...
What stimulates creativity such as this? This entry began, to me, as a forced addition to remind myself after many years of gradual maturation what, as of this moment, I consider important, as well as what I believe to be my future. This interests me in multiple ways... think for instance, you are in a cell. If you have accurate way to gauge elapsed time, surely you will have to record how many times certain "unchangables" occur (i.e. astronomical phenomena). After a few years, if data is carefully gathered, trends might be noticed. Through observation, one can gather all the information ever needed. If I gauge what has gone on in my life, such as social difficulties, academic pressure, and artistic aspirations, (pathetic grasping of the English language), then maybe I will learn something about myself. "When you lose, don't lose the lesson " -His holiness the Dalai Lama. Knowing my knack of losing things, I hope to gather them all together and immortalize them in a bunch of zeroes and ones. Think of it as a notebook of lessons... what I've done wrong and what I've managed to do wrong at a relatively harmless point in time. Unfortunately, that serves as an accurate summation of the past fourteen and a half years.... I have a movie to see tomorrow.. I'm afraid I will have to abandon this unfinished work... however I suppose more than perusal and devotion are required for me to create something worth taking up bandwidth. Good night... hopefully you have seen an unpolished, rough edged look at my literary style, but most importantly, I hope you will look into it enough to understand what I feel when I write, no matter what it is. If you can tell, then I have succeeded, if not, then I have another fucking thing to worry about

My Ears are Bleeding Ecstasy (The Other Kind)
Here's the gist of what I want to blog so I don't forget
The lead singer for the opening act, The Pretenders, was ambiguously hot. She could have been really old and wrinkly, but i couldn't tell
They were good, but no question the who were just too good
solo to who are you was particularly nice
wont get fooled again scream was the best ive heard save POSSIBLY the kids are alright
only way to tell if the songs over: does pete do the splits?
The keyboarder looked really apathetic no matter how crazy the band was. turns out it was actually the keyboard tech subbing for the keyboardist who's in England with his sick wife. pete asked the crowd to pray for him
The first song began on a differently fingered chord than usual, so i didnt recognize it until the 2nd chord: I Can't Explain. Each song was amazing, from that to The Seeker, which was in a slightly different rhythm, then Substitute, and the set list also included the following
Wire and Glass (Tea & Theatre was at the end), Tommy's Overture/Underture, Amazing Journey (after PBW), Pinball Wizard (1st encore), See Me Feel Me, a VERY long My Generation, WON'T GET FOOLED AGAIN (Zak Starkey NAILED his drum fills), Baba O'Riley, which was probably the highlight of the show when it came on just after Wire & Glass, Man in a Purple Dress (Daltrey was standing on an amp the whole time, the rest of the band just kinda left cept Pete), WHO ARE YOU, which had some subpar synth but amazing guitar, You Better You Bet, which was awesome (introed with "this is a song i wrote for you" just as who are you was), Eminence Front, introed by "this is a song about people who think they're smarter than they really are," Real Good Lookin Boy, apparently about elvis and written by daltrey partially??!?!!, and Mike's Post Theme, about TV theme songs
This is crude info, but I just want it down. I'll polish it for ya later
Pete tried to spin his guitar in the air after Tea & Theatre, which was superb, and he couldn't quite get a hold of it. It fell and made an awful racket, but then the two standing together was all the more poignant. Pete threw a wad of guitar picks out to the crowd at the end, and as he left, he just said "you sad fuckers"
everyone laughed, and he just waved silently as he left, but one has to wonder just how much he truly meant it. people clamoring for GUITAR PICKS... still, i know i wouldve, and i hope he still loves his fans
If i had to review this concert, it would honestly be a 10/10 JUST because of the sheer amazingness of hearing the who...

Suggestions?
Creating and adding to The Babbler (the name will change soon) has begun to feel almost like homework... sitting down and trying to be entertaining to the faceless few who take time out of their lives to humor me, which I appreciate immensely. But NOW, it must be changed. i have plenty of other things, i have single scenes from plays, stanzas of poetry (mostly humorous), and other crap laying around. if anyone would like to see it, i will post it here. No, I never will show you in person and will never copy and paste it onto AIM. Sorry.
Not being funny like that is liberating... which is why i do it all the time. Now I have $I-I1+ to do, so please, get back to me if you have any recommendations for what you'd like to see here. I have lots to say, and here i can allow you to not listen to the boring parts.

Sadly, these outright treasons against the royal institution of Lernin' Engrish are not my only crimes against humanity. For example:
"The question cannot be answered as there is not enough given information. Specifically, it is never specified whether or not the trajectory will peak past the given elapsed time and cannot be proven, so only the demented creators of this ungodly exam know the answer to this question, and I refuse to kiss ass to find it."

So I saw Borat... it was as funny as I had hoped, but if I were him, I would feel like a complete whore. He does some stuff I would never do, no matter how much money was at stake. Still... even though it's a one joke plot and a thin, hackneyed one at that, I laughed very, very hard.
On a scale of 1-10, with 10 being This is Spinal Tap and 1 being a spinal tap (its not easy making Spinal Tap related jokes), Borats a good 9!!! I like

What I'm Listening to: Early Metal/Hard rock
What I'm Wearing: What do you think
Mood: Lost, contemplative... nothing great believe me
So yeah... now the actual blog... dee da dum... oh yeah i got something: The most pertinent thing to our everyday lives. This is big, important, and pressing: random facts about Indians (native americans), or at least somewhat related to them
less than 1% of people on wagon trains were killed by Native americans
If you have any cherokee blood youre considered super dandy (full blooded) as a cherokee
the cheapest land purchase ever wasnt the louisiana purchase, 11 cents an acre, it was land taken ("bought") from american indians for... TWO CENTS AN ACRE
Read about king phillips war if you want to be scared shitless... the governer of VA actually had the skin of an indian sliced off, then watched as he made the poor guy eat his own flesh... we owe more to these people than we think
on a happy note... um... bye

Daniel in Aliceland
What I'm Wearing: Nike Shirt and Cargo Shorts (and no retainer)
Mood: Finally listening to the song I'm addicted to-ish, PUMPED FOR THE WHO
Well... I'm going to see The Who live. That's right. THE rock n' roll band, live, in Dallas. It doesn't get any better than this (except if they had Moony and Ox). I've taken a look at their setlist, and it seems to be a great mix of classic Who and their newer tunes. They have some from Face Dances, their catalogue of classic singles, Who's Next, and even their new EP Wire and Glass. Hopefully the latter can hold a candle to the rest, lest I be bored at the concert and waste 15 bucks on their new cd.
Well right now, I've got to say, Love it to Death is a fracking kick-arse album. TBoDF is one of my new favorite songs. Sadly it's not too acclaimed despite its awesomeness. Basically, the Coop is a great artist, and the original band is just plain badarse. Plus, I read that they have one major blueprint as artists, one band whom they most want to be like. I'll give you a hint, it's the same as U2..... can you guess it????
THE WHO
Plain and simple: The Who are the first hard rock band, save possibly only (and I do mean only) The Kinks. That's all I have to say

Bananas: the New Black
Mood: Merely a teensy dip in an average day
So today we have an interesting conundrum.... not really i just enjoy that word. Gas prices are down to $2.60, and while that is generally considered high, it's not as high as you might think compared to the 80's. Most important though is that I have began snackage upon a new snack: bananas. Say what you want about the tragically phallic nature of this delicious fruit (no gay jokes or puns intended... really), but theyre fackin addictive as a mother. Eat one and you MUST eat another. I haven't had one banana in maybe a year. Once again, please, no jokes about "HAH you're an ugly gay guy!" Okay I give up this is too ripe for entertainment
Well, I have decided to start a movement: Interns Against Malicious Guises And Yearnings, or, NAMBLA. I won't participate, but I'm sure that famous former interns like Pat Robertson and the guy from Simple Plan would love to spearhead the effort... okay that one was a joke
RANDOM FACT:
First person to use a 16 track tape? Frank Zappa
Biggest concert draw for Brazil ever? Alice Cooper
Fattest sex icon ever? YOUR MOM (no joke intended, if you catch my drift wink wink nudge nudge... this was pure inane crap)

All women become like their mothers. That is their tragedy. No man does. That’s his.
-Algernon from The Importance of Being Earnest
Of course the music is a great difficulty. You see, if one plays good music, people don't listen, and if one plays bad music people don't talk.
Algernon, Act I
Never speak disrespectfully of Society, Algernon. Only people who can’t get into it do that.
Lady Bracknell, Act III
more later i suppose
i apologize to those who know who they are

HEY, just cuz I suck doesn't mean I can't write to try!! Paul wrote "When I'm Sixty-Four" at age 15!!!!!

Time magazine... what have you done? I know it's been this way for a while but this one in particular hit home. Ads on the fucking cover. It pisses me off. I have to rip it off. Don't ask why. But seriously... I knew it was coming, I knew that this horrible day was inevitable... I mean, it was only a matter of Time *tiddy boom*
Speaking of which, it's time for a new segment I'd like to call "pun police" woooo wooooo

Well... not only is Andre gone for good, but STEVE IRWIN IS DEAD!! OMG!! Wow. Sting ray to the chest... ouch. What a way to go. Well, nobody expected him to die in a hospital bed of lung failure. Better to die doing what you love (for him, borderline suicidal behavoir) than to die bored and unloved... like me O_O. Apparently, before his gruesome demise, he acutally PULLED THE BARBED STINGER OUT OF HIS HEART!!!! Once again.... wow.
Nah jk, but still I am starting to have a mid-1/4 life crisis. I have noticed a receding hairline (upon cutting it) and a startling amount of times I've commented on younger siblings "sprouting like weeds." I feel like a geezer and I'm not even halfway through our education system. I'm going to be one miserable-ass forty year old. Seriously... this is a bad omen. Omens in general are bad, very seldom do good omens come true unless they later prove to be false and it was all just to make you happy then rip you down in a furious rage of being po'ed and asswipeyness!!!

actually I suck... oh well
YOUR SUPPORT IS NEEDED!!!!! AHHHHHH
So I just got back in town... the radio is my new best friend. If not for that I would have died on the 8-9.5 hour trip. They played some latter-day Metallica, and I gotta say, IT SUCKED ASS. Maybe 4 riffs for the whole song, and the drums sounded like utter crap. Honestly.
I miss Ride the Lightning and Master of Puppets. Hell, even The Black Album is great by comparison!!!! Just goes to show you, once you're famous, even if you produce crap, it'll sell like hotcakes... hotcakes of crap.
This week I'll be trying out for a play... wish me luck. Someday I could be a famous actor. That'd be nice. Fame and fortune is always a plus. Then again I could be a shitty actor with no life and a sleazy apartment and borrowing money from my mom. Meh, fame and fortune is worth it

Heroics
What I'...... sorry! instinct...
Mood: good for the first time in maybe 3 weeks
Tonight's post will be brief, but nonetheless it may be the most personal and introspective post yet, which I'm sure will doom it to never be read again. Actually, I'm sure I'll think of something slightly funny halfway through and ruin it all. Oh well
Today has been odd. Not only have I felt importance for maybe the first time ever (actually thinking that the impact i have on people is worth anything bad that happens to me), but I also feel as though I have a thorough understanding of what I want in life. It's rather comforting to be honest. On that solemn note, poo
Acting Styles is maybe the greatest course ever. Hands down. Cept for certain people in that class.... maybe you O_O
probably not, though. don't worry
This will be my last post for a while. I'll be gone until Monday, so if anyone actually reads this while I'm gone, you pass the "awesomest friend ever" test. Or you're my dad scouring my computer. Tsk tsk tsk... naughty padre... why do I let you live in my house?
3 new songs I'm listening to: the aforementioned White Album tracks and Ride the Lightning. Check 'em out if you dig good music

Mood: Exasperated, Happy as a Mofo (or, HAAM!!!!!!!!, as I commonly say), Glad I am not doing tennis tutorial so that I can try out for the play and improv troupe, and about to go Jihad on my HWs ass
Because I enjoy the luxury of not having a high standard for quality, I will temporarily leave this entry unfinished. You can probably guess it's theme (besides news and my life) by it's title. Knock yourself out. Maybe you will be the first to read the rest of my blog :O. Peace for now
To Be Continued....

m'kay, so I am merely curious now... this is just a quick conclusion, ill save the rant for later, ohw maybe people actually read this? if you read this at all, please comment on the post. its kind of a test. thanks for bein loyal :) :)

To be honest, I'm not as disappointed about school starting as I would have imagined myself being. I actually kind of like having something to do as opposed to slowly withering away in front of a computer, wasting time. I'm sure I'll think otherwise once school starts, but w/e. Back to teh 1337 bloxxor: today I intend to share with you some of my personal favorite catchphrases OF ALL TIME!
They shall be ranked
They shall be reviewed
They shall not be forgotten
#1:"D'OH"
Homer Simpson's infamous cry of pain or anguish. It's even in the OED!!! OMG
#10:"Worst. Episode. Ever"
Comic Book Guy... we love you. This is just how all
#9:"KISS MY SHINY METAL ASS"
Bender... we love thee too (more). We all remember Futurama (which WILL be coming back next year, praise teh foo')
#2:"Bleebloivin Habba Dabba Chocolate Pudding"
Bill Cosby.... at least i think thats what he's saying
#*"You are the weakest link, goodbye"
does this count? w/e i like it
#~"I'm Rick James, bitch"
This sketch will far outlive Rick James' music... except "super freak" cuz that songs leet

The End of an Era
What I'm Wearing: UT Shirt, swimsuit, GD military style hat
Summer is over... there's not much to say, just it blows. I'm not concerned with much this year except how bored I am. To me, blogging is a way of being bored and hopefully entertaining your friends in the process. Once school starts, I will be bored in an entirely different way: a way that is far worse. At least it's only orientation tomorrow. Maybe I'll do something afterwards...
Now it's "Hungry Freaks, Daddy!" I love that song... ANYWHO I am looking forward to certain aspects of school. Specifically, I miss tennis, lunch, free periods, and leaving the most. Now it's "Uncle John's Band!!!" God, I'm taking forever to type.
I read the news, today, oh boy. It's time for TODAY IN POLITICKING-LAND!!!!
Well, some feel that Saddam Hussein should have been killed on the spot by US troops, just for simplicity. I think he deserves to die painfully, and thats what's happening. MARINES ARE FORCING HIM TO WATCH THE SOUTH PARK MOVIE!!! YOU HEARD ME! Saddam is being forced to watch himself be Satan's gay lover. There is a God...
An Israeli soldier was horribly wounded in Lebanon and was paralyzed from the chest down. The man is apparently a die-hard KISS fan, even with a poster above his hospital bed. Gene Simmons personally sent him a video saying that the soldier was his hero and that he wished he could be there with him. That's how to be famous, people. Other countries may have us beat in different ways (economics, business, education), but America definately has the coolest celebrities. USA! USA!
Now I'm listening to "Sexy Sadie." woooo.
The problem with blogging is I don't know what to talk about. I just thought of an interesting idea, however. What if I asked people how they think I would behave in a certain situation and vice versa? How well do people know me? Not too well, most likely. I barely know me.
Sorry to abruptly end, but summer did the same to me so it's fair

Fun With Babel-Fish
What I'm Listening to: A Day In The Life
Mood: Content, Distracted (hence the title of this article), in awe of the awesomeness of "Silence of the Lambs," tired, pretty bored
I decided to have fun with losing stuff in translation with the help of my friend babelfish (yes, the name's a Hitchhiker's Guide reference). I translated the second sentence of Of Mice and Men, by John Steinbeck. It is "the water is warm too, for it has slipped twinkling over the yellow sands in the sunlight before reaching the narrow pool." From English to Chinese, then back, then Greek, then French, then Italian, then English again, then something and back, then Korean and back, then Spanish, then French, then German, then English. Enjoy: "In instruction in the hard wash basin of the river in dinanzi lightning, over in the decadent sand in the lowfirst part to arrive as the light of the helium, the description under those slips, is hot adjacent waters."
Trippy, eh?
So today I watched "Silence of the Lambs," and 3 episodes of Law and Order: SVU. I must say, I've come to love that show and adore that movie. I don't know any other guys who watch Law and Order... I hope it's not a chick show O____o (I've resisted using that smiley since I started this blog). I just gotta review Silence of the Lambs, it's that good a movie.
REVIEW TIME... okay actually I'm basically gonna kiss this movie's ass. Not only is Jodie Foster like my favorite actress EVER, but Hannibal Lecter KICKS SO MUCH ASS!!! THE DUDE ATE A GUY'S FACE!!! CAN YOU SAY "BADASS?!?!?!?!" Seriously though, the movie is far from generic, and includes many brilliantly shot scenes, some genuinely scary moments, and near-constant suspense. You will NOT end the movie thinking it was stupid or implausible like most movies, with their overly dramatic deaths and bad guys who shoot just 1 inch behind the hero every time. Plus, you will sympathize with the very well developed characters, because seeing a mangled corpse of a friend or someone you know is far more powerful than one of a complete stranger. Watch it. You'll be impressed, I promise
-5 through +5, including zero. -5 = my little brother, +5 = my little brother in pain (just kidding... I love my brother although he is... little brotherly)
SILENCE O' TEH LAMBS B GETTIN' A +5, MON
I'll add random facts to this post later
maybe
not

The Review to Begin All Bad Reviews
What I'm Wearing: The Doors shirt, cargo shorts, Grateful Dead hat, and ankle socks
Mood: Mellow, Pissed, Sarcastic, Cynical, Penis
This will be a more somber post than you or I am used to, but I won't try to act different than I feel. I recently checked out alexa.com, where they list the most popular websites in every country. I was rather suprised that Blogger.com is 14th in America. That severely lessens my chances of becoming a famous writer through blogs... but oh well. At least maybe they'll misspell their urls and see mine instead. Adult Friend Finder managed to acheive #37... my God we are a screwed up country. What did it beat out? MLB.com is #38. It seems getting it on with strangers has surpassed baseball as our national pasttime.
My house is a mess... I have 3 cups previously filled with water on my desk, a rag, notepad, case for splinter cell, guitar peg turner thing, pencil, gum, knife, 100 blank cds, a pedometer, camera, touching the void, GBA game case, eye drops, a marble, abc gum (on the notepad), a guitar pick, notebook paper, another rag, manuals to warcraft 3, and a miniature elephant... okay not the last one.
Looking at the top rentals on RottenTomatoes.com, I see Spike Lee's Inside Man at #1.
TIME FOR ANOTHER REVIEW
So this film starts chillingly. The lighting, camera-work, and acting all help add to the mood of this movie. It's one where you sort of figure out what is going on as time passes. The whole thing is gripping, clever, gritty, and professional. This is one movie you'll probably be talking about the whole way home and then some. I won't spoil a bit, but this is HIGHLY recommended. Jodie Foster's pretty kickass, too, just so ya kno
-5 through +5, -5 as the equivalent of sitting on a buzzsaw and +5 as the equivalent of spitting on lindsay lohan (hey, i find it fun), Inside Man gets a +4
Oh, Denzel, how you never cease to be ass-whoopin
night everyone
Fondue À La Mode
What I'm Wearing: A DIFFERENT dry-fit blue shirt, addidas shorts (blue as well by coincidence)
*NEW* Mood: Confused, Sad (I'm reading the news... it's horribly depressing), determined, PENIS
Okay, I feel like a complete idiot. I am about to share something that went through my mind as I scrolled to the bottom of cnn.com this morning. After reading about a tragic murder, a woman who was kidnapped and locked away for 8 years and forced to call her kidnapper "master," and a potential hurricane, the entertainment section caught my eye. I now understand the use of entertainment: keep our minds off of the REAL issues, but for a good reason. We can't take all the "drama!!!!" However, this is obvoius and pretty hackneyed (and hardly interesting), so I'll move on to the good part of the story. Thanks to the entertainment section, I shifted gears from being horrified to being... entertained. The headlines were:
• Cruise split highlights deeper issues
• 'Idol's' McPhee: No more 'weird eating things'
Now just below this gossip/drivel, something REALLY caught my eye:
• Cult leader gets date with executioner
• Killer's photo collection gives up a lead
Now remember, I was in my "entertainment" mindset. I swear to dog I said it out loud. "Wow... that sucks to be going out with the person who's about to waste ya."
Once I clicked through and saw the story, I smacked my forehead and realized that school and smartness and s**t aren't going to come easily this year. I'm in honors geometry and my 8th grade teacher put his neck on the line to get me there... yes, this is Mr. Martin, who wrote "moron" over the entire board to show what he thought of me and said I had been blessed with the common sense God gave a bottlecap. If I don't ace math this year, I will have hell to pay. That being said, I am still hoping that maybe I can just slack the whole year. Who knows? Maybe I'll pull it off. Oh well
REVIEW TIME
no crap is safe, and no good stuff will go unraved-about-ed
I shall now review something that is life-affirming to me: The Who on tour. After years of basically nothing cuz of working on the upcoming Who2, I thought my undying alleigance would pay off. I love The Who more than most of my fingers, and believe me, I cherish each and every one of those babies. Now Pete Townshend, Roger Daltrey, Zak Starkey (yes, Ringo's kid who is also in Oasis), keyboard(ist or er? I'm clueless) John "Rabbit" Bundrick, new bassist Pino Palladino (anyone makes comparisons to Enty, I'll have an aneurism), and co. have taken their legendary act on the road, and first stop is NORTH AMERICA!!! THAT'S WHERE THE REAL AMERICA IS! OMG! However, guess the closest state they come to. If you guessed Illinois, you're cheating most likely! There is one thing they have done to redeem themselves, however: live streaming of concerts. Even though I won't get to see The Who.... whom I have been patiently waiting for since the beginning of last year, I still must give kudos for STILL breaking new ground. I have seen some shows and they are in prime form... cept Daltrey but he's an effin geezer now
-5 to +5 (0 inclusive), -5 as the equivalent of being dumped by the love of your life and +5 as the equivalent of being dumped... into a vat of chocolate:
The Who's new tour gets a +2... cuz i dont get to see it
RANDOM FACTOIDS before I go:
More than half of the US's 12,000+ ft coastline is in Alaska. Along with more than half of our Eskimo Pie factories (you don't want to know what goes into Eskimo Pie)
Guess who invented the coat hanger? Some historians believe it was Thomas Jefferson! (between that and the Declaration he was pretty well rounded)
The Grateful Dead played 2,317 concerts in total (The Ramones may have done 2,263, but their shows were often a third of the length of one Grateful Dead SONG!!!!)
Blood doesnt attract mosquitoes, they like the scent of bacteria growing on your skin. Don't think this means that if you rub hand sanitizer all over you its as good as bug spray, however
Well that about does it for today, I'm stranded at home and bored shitless. If you're willing to do something and pick me up, I'm always game. Peace. Moonyinator out

Breaking News!! Rip Down Those Old Science Posters!
Everyone, it's official. Pluto is not a planet anymore. The definition of "planet" has been changed to "(a) celestial body that is in orbit around the Sun, has sufficient mass for its self-gravity to overcome rigid body forces so that it assumes a hydrostatic equilibrium (nearly round) shape, and has cleared the neighbourhood around its orbit" Anything that doesn't meet the last requirement is either a dwarf planet or a satellite. Well, to be honest, I'm relieved that the International Astronomical Union has forsaken their old, vague definition that left holes for argument. It wasn't their fault, planets started out with a definition of being pushed by bloody angels. Now that they can make "planet" mean whatever they want, you'd expect these high-brow nitpickers to be able to start fresh and give a perfect definition that can't be argued. They use very exact, precise, scientific terms, like "neighborhood," and on a side-note, WHO DECIDES WHATS NEARLY ROUND?!?!?! sigh... IAU, you deserve a ferret in the crotch. At least this solves the problem of whether or not large asteroids and Kuiper Belt shiz qualifies, but apparently Charon lives down the block from ol' Pluto. Shot down.
If you haven't noticed, I have been updating and will be updating old posts to make them less... bad, so check 'em out every few days or so and you might find a new joke or a new spelling :P
So far, my blog has been pretty well recieved, even inspiring my old, dear friend to take back up the noble pursuit of wasting time and recording it being done (www.bsmith91.blogspot.com). I even inspired a second person (www.nondumblonde.blogspot.com)!!! They're both great blogs, check 'em out. Thank you for your undying support... you noble 3-4 people, you. Someday, I hope to have at least 10 people following this blog. Maybe someday much later, 50. Hu b da 1 hu nos? Please! I work hard on this baby and every time you look you do me a favor. Thanks again, you're the greatest.
Before I leave you, I would like you to know some of my inspirations for taking up blogging. Hayden, because it was the first time i ever saw blogspot. Wait, I forgot, Sara's was. NVM, W/E, AYBABTU, LEEROY JENKINS, GOD. So kudos to Sara, Caro (whom I barely know in real life), and Katherine for being the first peopel to have a blog I liked. K in particular, just cuz I read hers most (sorry others!).
PEACE, and I would like to leave you with a random factoid or 2:
As you talk, earwax comes out of your ears... gross
Koalas sleep 22 hours a day (they live the life)
Apparently, there's no word that rhymes with either "orange," or "month" (no, "gunth," short for "gunther" doesn't count)
Mosquitos prefer children to adults and blondes to brunettes... my blonde friends, i feel for ya
More people have seen David Copperfield perform live than any other performer in the world... but more people have seen jenna jameson "perform" alone
Bluebird's cannot see the color blue (how do they avoid mating with crows?!?!)
anyway

Another Foray Into My Mind... You've Been Warned
This day was destined to suck
It began with a ring... the doorbell. I thought to myself "F**KIN' A!!! It's the painters!!! I hope my brother is awake." Another ring. I rolled over and moaned (no innuendo, folks). I thought "PLEASE, GOD, LET MY LITTLE BROTHER BE OF USE FOR ONCE!!!" I started to drift off back into sweet sleep... then a final ring of doom.
It didnt get much better after that.
My lazy-ass foo' brother never seems to be able to get up. However, I used this to my advantage today. If you've never poured ice-cold water on someone asleep, try it. It's fun. However, they will get revenge, which is why my dry-fit shirt is soaking wet and I'm still wide the f**k awake.
Blogging is appealing to me because I can get an accurate snapshot of my thoughts at any given point in time (right now, I can only get one for 1 day ago). For that purpose, and I suppose your entertainment, I shall give birth to a NEW HOPEFULLY RECURRING SEGMENT: My life in 4 words
Slacker... but I care
Mmmmmmmmmm i am running out of crappy talking subjects so its time for a review!!
actually, I'll spare you from a review of something you already know i like, so why dont you TELL ME what you'd like to hear about. If I had my way, this blog would be even more uninteresting and unintelligible and almost entirely dedicated to ritz-bitz, classic rock, and Monty Python jokes you've all heard a thousand times. Now i will venture a guess for what you want me to do, and it's not shut the hell up, its... its....
TODAY IN POLITICKING-LAND
Breakthrough technology in stem-cells, as scientists have developed a techinique that will (ideally) SAVE THE EMBRYO!!! THATS RIGHT!!! YOU HEARD ME! It appears as though this new method, which involves taking one cell after the embryo has become 8 in total, will resolve the entire issue, right?
WRONG
While the method is naturally not 100% infallible, nothing is. This is plenty for the Catholic Church (who never fail to make me proud, from Holy Crusadin' and massacring those who differ to their intolerance of... anything) to bitch about. In discovering this technique, many embryos were destroyed. BIG WHOOP. It's over. STOP COMPLAINING!! Live in the now, senor popey, or is that too much to ask? Now, to explain why I like this technique, I will simply quote one of the 4 articles ive read on it. "(the) method... is derivative of a diagnostic technique used in in vitro fertilization known as preimplantation genetic diagnosis (PGD). In order to test embryos thought to be at risk for serious genetic defects, PGD removes a single cell, or blastomere, from a couple’s embryo and examines it in a lab for irregularities. If determined to be healthy, the embryo can then, in many cases, be implanted into a woman’s uterus and is able to regenerate the lost cell and continue developing. In practice, Lanza’s technique would take a blastomere from an embryo donated for PGD, allow it to divide, and use the new cells to create stem-cell lines while sending one of the cells off for genetic diagnosis." alright, so that seems logical. However, some scientists have disapproved of the idea, saying that removing a cell could cause potential health problems. That seems entirely plausible, but this makes one thing certain. This process wouldnt even be necessary if not for people like Bush (who used his first veto against it) and Pat Robertson (the guy's as much of a tool as carson daly... plus hes INSANE) who cling to ancient values to avoid thinking for themselves. the one certain thing that i mentioned earlier is this...
ALL OF OUR PROBLEMS WOULD BE EASIER IF ASSASSINATION WERE LEGAL!!!!!!!!!
Some targets:
Bush, Kerry, Pat Robertson, Sid Vicous.... his corpse at least, the critic who walked out of Clerks II, Lennon's killer (DONT SAY HIS NAME... it makes him more famous, giving him sick satisfaction), Lindsay Lohan for being in a movie about John Lennon that makes his murderer more famous.... sigh, Hilary Duff... because i feel liek it, Your Mom, people who dislike this blog (sleep with one eye open), and dave letterman... wait i like him screw that
Ok so this post was kinda weird... im getting the hang of this though so bear with me
lastly ill give a quickie review of something... a movie that all of you have probably seen
Will Ferrell's TALLADEGA NIGHTS: THE BALLAD OF RICKY BOBBY
First off, this movie is undeniably funny. Nobody can bash that there are many snort-worthy lines in this cheesy flick. Will Ferrell nails his role head-on enough to where you expect him to sprout a mullet and buck teeth. The plot makes little sense, but whatever, its a friggin comedy. Now for the downsides... this movie would suck on television because not only are there commercials between parts of the movie, there are commercials IN THE @^#%^$$%$%@!&!#);D#&$^&%$ MOVIE!!! It's kind of a sell-out in that sense, and the actual applebee's commercial in it is completely unnecessary and unfunny. Plus, the second time, I barely even chuckled, much less snorted my boogers up to my brain like the first time. The lines are funny enough to quote and not be considered even more of a loser, and its worth seeing, but this is nowhere near as funny as some stuff out there and has a decent enough plot... but nothing special.
-5 through +5 (0 inclusive), with +5 being a walk in the park with the love of your life and -5 being a walk in the park with a bum stalking you and suspiciously eyeing your butt and a hurricane coming in
This movie gets a +2.5
woot
Thats about it. The first draft of this post sucked harder than Monica Lewinsky, but with a few rewrites and edits I think it's become readable. BTW: now I'm listening to "Peaches on Regalia"
Questions? Comments? Legitimate beefs? I owe you money? You have my e-mail and probably my number. Personally, I like my blog, and I hope you will, too, so help me out, here!!

The First Rant
after many many months of denial and trying to convince myself otherwise, ive decided i need a blog. too much shit on my mind and too many friends who dont want it forced down their throats. Now, you can be offended and (on occasion) repulsed at your own leisure. basically, the way i intend to write is simple and clean. type what the voice in my head says and look over and remove any ethnic or religious slurs at the end (the voice in my head is a son of a bitch). topics for this blog will be harsh reviews of whatever im doing at the time and rants when my creative kiddie-pool (not quite a cesspool yet) runs dry. first off, a few days ago i saw a movie with some friends...... (and a stranger, and eichenwald... jk adam)
Accepted is the title of this college humor/rom com/feel good/fight the power/teenage movie. in my opinion, the movie is completely driven by a few funny characters. the rest blow. the lead role of "bartleby gaines" is supposed to be likeable, but the guys a douche and blows his semi funny lines. lewis black cameos... its not as good as youd think. its like "Back in Black," but his comedy is supposed to teach kids. The movie is implausible (the rejects who attended the school and magically had dorms would never want to learn, thats why they were rejected), and the plot is completely predictable. the characters have all been seen before a million times (the fat, unpopular sidekick whos a whiz, the black guy, the girl, the parents), and those who havent SHOULD have been the stars (the eccentric guy w/the fro, lewis black, the "blow shit up with my mind" fellow, the pizza delivery guy turned rocker, and the beanpole w/add). all in all, its got the makings of a feel-good, fun summer comedy. however, its use of stereotypes keeps it from being like animal house or something and lowers it to the status of a college comedy aimed at teens who like their movies to be all about stereotypes and in the comfort zone. i laughed, but would never see it again cuz between the laughs, theres nothing
this movie gets the first review of my life and i have a new system. i will award movies/music/whatever between -5 and +5, -5 being the guy who invented ska and +5 being the person who invented sex
Accepted gets a +1
one thing i noticed in this movie, the "likeable" main character "B" uses a mac. hes going to college. guess who macs are supposed to sell to? macs are now being used as a fashion statement and used by "cool" (in the most sarcastic way possible) people by apple to START that trend. dont be their pawn, focus on the reality of the situation. macs are spectacular, but dont get them for the wrong reason. and please, dont bash pc users. we have HL2 and Civ-IV, so whatever you say doesnt even matter. "but macs can run windows," i dont care. im not buying a new computer and copy of windows just for the pretty looks. plus, i like my double click and microsofts jerky about letting others enjoy it. in conclusion, macs are alright, but dont try to convert me. if i had the money (and a new guitar, and a new amp, and a new pc, and a copy of "We're Only In It For The Money," AND a new tennis racket), i would probably get a mac, m'kay?
Thats about it. Feedback? Comments? Concerns? Legitimate beefs? Pregnant with my kid? Drop me a line, or just IM me or use FB or MySpace or comment, W/E, I'd like to know. Your recommendations are totally welcome. Most posts won't be half this long, so don't worry about that.
