Random crap. May or may not be updated.

I typed up a lengthy rant and I didn't know how the autosave recovery worked so I lost it all.

I'm tempted to say FML, even though I hate the phrase.

I need to go to bed. Work early tomorrow. >_<

Well, I just went and saw Angels and Demons withinside_like_me . I did enjoy the film, it was entertaining. However, the many drastic changes they made bothered me and inspired me to rant. Now, nobody's gonna read this, but hey. I feel like putting my slight botheredness into words. It'll occupy me for a short time.

Now they did make the movie entertaining, and somebody who hasn't read the books would be fine with it, but still... They could've made it closer to the book without changing it so much. I understand the need to cut down the story to fit into a 2-3 hour film. But they changed it so much... I'm sure they could've done the Da Vinci Code better (not entirely sure, I haven't read the book in years or seen the movie in one or two) but I just finished rereading Angels and Demons (which I enjoyed more than the DVC) a week or so ago and just saw the movie today.

First, the character insanity. Vittoria's father Leonardo was replaced simply by a guy named Silvano who is exactly like Leonardo except for not being Vittoria's father. He's simply her research partner. Why? They could've cut out the Vetra backstory but still left the scientist/priest as Leonardo Vetra... So unnecessary. I think it's much more of a motivating factor for Vittoria if her father is killed rather than just her old research partner. Then there's the situation of the camerlengo. They made this change work better. Italian Camerlengo Carlo Ventresca, biological son (through artificial insemination) of the Pope, was replaced by Irish Patrick McKenna, adoptive son of the Pope. The only real problem with this I find is the fact that the Pope was Ventresca's biological father, unbeknownst to Ventresca. The information that the Pope was his father was the catalyst that caused Ventresca to kill himself. Well, more like the straw that broke the camel's back, because not only did Ventresca murder his father, he indirectly murdered the four preferiti. He wasn't exactly innocent aside from killing the Pope. In the film, McKenna just kind of faces the cardinals and then goes and offs himself. I think that was kind of a big plot point, so that's my only problem. Some minor changes now, Commander Olivetti of the Swiss Guard is replaced by Commander Richter, and Olivetti becomes the head of the Vatican Police. No problem really, just a bit of confusion. The Arab Hassassin is replaced by Westerner Mr. Gray, which I'm fine with for the most part. I just wish the interactions between Langdon and the assassin were closer to the book, specifically the scene in the fountain. That would've been cool. Rocher is replaced by a bishop, don't care. Cardinal Mortati, heading the conclave as the elector, is renamed Cardinal Strauss. Again, my problem is more how they used him than the actual character change. Gunther Glick and Chinita Macri are omitted, no problem with that. Doesn't bother me. Max Kohler is omitted as well, however, and I don't really like that. I think Kohler is a fascinating character and he should've been in the movie. His role is replaced by a Vatican police rep in the beginning and Richter towards the end.

As for casting and whatnot, overall it was good. Just gonna touch on a few random points I thought of and review main characters. For some reason, ever since reading the Da Vinci Code (the first of the two books that I read), I've pictured Robert Langdon being played by Ron Livingston of Office Space fame. I haven't seen much of his work, but he played a fairly serious role on House, which makes me think that it would be within his abilities to play Langdon. But Tom Hanks works fine. No major complaints. Ewan McGregor did very well. Ayelet Zurer was an excellent casting choice, she was quite attractive and did a pretty good job in the role. I liked Olivetti. Cardinal Mortati/Strauss was cast quite well. Armin Mueller-Stahl definitely fit the role appearance-wise and did well acting-wise. (although for some reason, even though he doesn't fit the character at all, when reading the book I pictured Mortati being played by Elias Koteas... but he's a bit young. lol)

Now, changes I had a problem with. I liked the whole intro part with Langdon getting a call and being flown to Geneva to talk to Kohler at CERN. That would've been much more interesting than him just being found at Harvard. In the film, Vittoria worked with Silvano and a team on antimatter; the book was simply her and her father. It was much more secretive in the book, and made a lot more sense. Also, the lack of an "Illuminati" brand slightly bothered me. This next point is fairly minor, but somebody on Wikipedia makes a good point that the antimatter seems more dangerous in the book - Vittoria would've had to send it back to CERN to recharge the battery, whereas in the film she could've just changed the battery and had another 24 hours (were it not for the goddamned cold). The killings were well done for the most part, but I very much enjoyed the conflict between Langdon and the Hassassin at the fourth altar of science, the fountain. I wish it were included in the movie. Why omit a decent fight scene? Kinda silly. In the movie, the assassin dies not by being knocked out of the castle by Langdon and Vittoria, but by a car bomb that the Camerlengo set. It was incredibly predictable. When he grabbed the key, I just thought to myself "this is going to be a car bomb". Then a minute later, he starts the car and... KABOOM. Saw that coming a mile away. I didn't like the final brand. For one thing, it completely ruined the whole ambigram theme. Earth, air, fire and water were all ambigrams... The Illuminati ambigrammatic brand should've been included... And now that I think of it, where did the police actually get the Illuminati logo? It wasn't branded into the the partner's body, so how'd they get it? And why were they involved so early? Why would the Vatican Police be investigating a CERN scientist's death before there was any confirmed evidence that the Vatican was in danger? Anyways... The Illuminati Diamond was an EPIC ambigram, and would've made a much better choice for the last brand. I can see no concievable reason to change the brand from the Illuminati Diamond to the pair of keys. It's not even an ambigram. As previously stated, Kohler's absence bugged me. I think it would've been a bit more reflective of the camerlengo's thought process (what he was doing was right and was God's will) if he died silently, as he did in the book. He had enough self control to brand himself without wavering or screaming, so why was immolation much different?

As for some changes, fine. The omission of various backstories and side plots was fine. I'm completely fine without Langdon falling out of the copter and going to the hospital. And Baggia surviving and giving Langdon the location of the Church of Illumination certainly saved a good amount of time, as did Langdon's immediate recognition of the dove as an angel. And I think Galileo's Diagramma is a much better reward for Langdon than the final brand (although it seems kind of dumb to just give away a Vatican vault-dwelling manuscript to a Harvard professor for 40-60 years. He may be a Harvard professor, but I dunno if it would've been possible for him to provide it a safe environment like that of the Vatican Archives).

But yeah. Nitpicking aside, the movie was very entertaining.

Just gonna comment on some weirder aspects of my recent life.

I've had several weird dreams lately. A couple involving weird things happening at a play I was recently in. Another (one or two, not sure if they were parts of one dream or two dreams experienced in short sequence) was just weird on many, many levels. First dream, or first part of the dream, simply involved me driving a purple Hummer or similar large vehicle with a couple friends in it around a mountainous area. It included driving off a cliff or something and falling quite a distance, and the only thing that happened was the car wheels falling off. We were all fine and the body of the car was fine. In the second dream or the second part of the dream, I was at a house not unlike the house from the remake of "Last House on the Left" with various friends and co-workers. We were just kinda chilling. Some weird stuff happened. And then eventually we were invaded by like four people with guns. One of my co-workers actually got shot in a confrontation, but it didn't even faze him. We managed to kill two of the invaders by snapping their necks. I don't know how we got close enough to gunmen to snap their necks without getting shot, but hey. Right after snapping the second guy's neck the dream ended. Lol.

Fucking weird.

While writing this, I've been getting IMs from that weird LiveJournal IM thing that's been happening.

I believe my enjoyment of the TV show House has crossed over into full-blown obsession. I want to be Gregory House. I don't want to be a doctor, I just want the freedom that he has. He wears whatever he wants, says whatever he wants, and does whatever he wants at his job. That would be amazing. And I've found myself wanting to buy Nike Shox. And I briefly had the desire to ride a motorcycle, which I've never been interested in. Lol. Pathetic, I know.

That is all.

Now playing: Cursive - Some Red Handed Sleight of Hand
via FoxyTunes   

I last posted over 4 months ago, and today's post is more or less the same reason as last time.

I'm fucking sick of school. I just totally lack motivation this semester, and it's terrible. I love my Abnormal Psychology class, but that's it. Adult Development and Aging bores the shit out of me. Exploring Psychology is pointless. And Geography is just okay. It's not terrible, but I don't like it much. I even forget stuff for abnormal. I just want it to end. I hate it. It's terrible. And the realization that I'm not that far off from being in the "real world" is hitting me and I hate it. "Senioritis" is making its return at the end of my sophomore year of college... It's more than a little bit premature.

But I really miss the old days... Not having any reason to care about anything. Being able to waste my life away playing video games, not having to work or go through college or worry about my future. And worries about the future are hitting me hard. I have no clue what I want to do career-wise. I have so many decisions to make about my life in the next few years, and I can't make them at this point. It doesn't appear that I will be able to make them. It feels like I'm wasting my money and time (but especially money) in college because I'm not really getting any further towards picking a career. I just want to stop. It worked for my personal life (stopped giving a shit and met an amazing girl who I've been with for almost two years and counting). I'd love it if I could just stop school. Maybe it'd work out and the time off would give me an epiphany about what I actually want to do. But I doubt it. And apparently not being a full-time student means I can't have health insurance. So I can't just stop.

But I want to so bad. I want to just hang out with my beautiful girlfriend. I want to chill with my friends. I don't want to spend time and money on shit that I have so little motivation for. School this semester is just dumb. I drive all the way there on Monday and Friday and walk all the way across campus to sit for fifty minutes and then leave. Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday I have long breaks that are monotonous as fuck. I'm getting sick of the computer because of it. That never happens.

Whatever. I'm done bitching. If you do read it, it probably makes no sense. I'll just sum it up. Fuck school. I just wanna have fun.

Only two classes and two more papers to do until the end of the semester. Thank God.

I should be doing one of those papers since I have to hand it in tomorrow because I can't on the actual due date because of work.

But I want to do anything but.

I have a functional bass so I wanna play that. I wanna play guitar. I wanna sing. Those are all out because it's late and everybody's home (some of them sleeping).

I wanna write music. That's out because I've got about as much creativity as a sponge or some other invertebrate.

I wanna play Chrono Trigger. That's out because I know I need to write a paper, not play DS.

I wanna play Magic, or D&D, or jam, or hang with friends in general but that's out because we've all got schoolwork and work.

I wanna be with Emily, but I can't because she's got schoolwork, and work, and I've got schoolwork, and work.

Fuck, let me fast forward through this week.

Anybody wanna write an extra paper or two?

I have no idea how my userpic became an LOLcat. I did not change it to this.

It is funny. But I liked my normal one. And I want to know how the fuck it got changed. Somebody somehow using my account? Another weird LJ fuckup? I don't know.

Fucking weird.

My bass is being stupid right now. I need to find out what the hell is wrong with it. I'm 99.9% sure it's something with the...

Excuse me, iTunes keeps popping up, so I need to cuss again because iTunes is pissing me off now. Fuck shit piss fuck.

...pickups. I'm hoping I can bring it back to my dad's friend's house so he can look at it. That guy knows a lot about guitars. And despite having played guitars for several years, I really don't know much about them. Lol.

FUCK ITUNES. Gah.

Edit: Re-changed the userpic, if you did not see it my userpic somehow became that animated gif of an LOLcat, the one that goes "Im poopin... IM POOPIN... false alarm"

I know absolutely nobody who would read this gives a shit about KISS, but I felt the urge to rant.

KISS is now Paul Stanley and Gene Simmons, plus fairly new additions Tommy Thayer and Eric Singer basically masquerading as Ace Frehley and Peter Criss, respectively. They don't go out and call Tommy and Eric Ace and Peter, but they don't really make an effort to establish them as separate. Some people go to KISS shows still thinking they're seeing Ace and Peter. But that's not the case. I wish they had done seperate makeups like they did for Vinnie Vincent and Eric Carr, or just went without the makeup. And now they're talking about doing a new album with this lineup. But I digress.

The current lineup, with the new "Space Ace" and "Catman", re-recorded a bunch of classic KISS hits for a Japan-only release called Jigoku-Retsuden. I've been listening to them, and I feel like ranting about the various songs. Lol. So get ready.

DEUCE - Far inferior to the original. Eric's drums do not sound nearly as good as Peter's. Gene's got something very weird going on with his bass tone, it's kinda annoying. I can't really put my finger on what it is, but it bothers me a bit. Solos are kinda like Ace's, but bastardized somewhat (it's slower and seems simplified in places - how can you simplify an Ace Frehley solo?).The song has been made slower, can't see any real reason for that. Sure, they're old, but it wasn't a lightning-speed song to begin with. I can say the guitar tone doesn't suck, and Gene sounds pretty good. But overall I dislike this song.

DETROIT ROCK CITY - Gene's bass tone bothers me on this one as well; whatever's happening on Deuce happens here as well. But from what I'm hearing, it's not too bad. Eric is a lot better on this one. Paul sounds pretty good. I think this is slowed down slightly too, but not as much as Deuce. Not bothersome. Solo's exactly the same. It's not bad, but if it ain't broke, don't fix it. No reason to re-record perfectly good stuff.

I WAS MADE FOR LOVIN' YOU - Definitely something they shouldn't have touched. Paul can't hit some of the notes anymore, and while it was a decent song, it was very disco-ish. Just not classic KISS, which they're apparently going for nowadays. But this version just sounds like what the whole album probably is - a half-assed attempt to cash in. Maybe it's because it's slower and Paul can't sing it like he used to. Maybe it's because now that Paul can't do it as well, it needs to be experienced live because KISS's live show is and has always been a huge part of the experience. I've heard it live recently, didn't sound too bad. They usually give it more of a hard rock feel. This lacks that, so it's just the same exact song, but it's made much worse by the band's current limitations.

SHOUT IT OUT LOUD - Immediately this version of this song strikes me as missing something huge. Once again, I can't put my finger on what it is, but the intro is completely disappointing. It sounds empty. The original recording of this song is, to me at least, as anthemic as they intended (they wanted to re-create what they accomplished with Rock And Roll All Nite - creating a rock and roll anthem. actually, they failed [nobody knows this song, everybody knows RnRAN], but I love the original version of this song; in my opinion they should've succeeded). Maybe it was something Bob Ezrin added in some way, maybe it was just Ace and Peter, maybe it was something else. Sounds like a pretty poor KISS cover band. Gene doesn't sound as good on this song, Paul's alright. The instruments are boring - definitely sounding like a bad cover band. That's kinda bad when these new guys are clearly supposed to emulate Ace and Peter. More disappointing than I Was Made for Lovin' You.

HEAVEN'S ON FIRE - Seems downtuned. That's the first thing I noticed. Sounds alright, just definitely seems like another case of "if it ain't broke, don't fix it". I can't really complain other than that. Solo's no different, so really, why re-record it if nothing's changed aside from the ability of the band to play it?

CHRISTINE SIXTEEN - Oh God. Terrible piano. The bass sounds off in the intro. Gene sounds alright, but re-recording this song really took a lot of the awesomeness out of it. Love the original. This is kinda like Shout it Out Loud but not as bad, sounding like a cover band. The spoken interlude and solo are pretty good (if boring because they're exactly the same), but again, why re-record it when there was nothing wrong with the original? And the intro was HEAVILY botched. Ugh. I felt slightly sick when I heard it, no lie.

Time for Black Diamond. I hope they didn't fuck this up.

BLACK DIAMOND - Paul sounds weird. Otherwise, so far so okay. Not gonna say good yet. Instruments sound good. They actually kinda changed this up a bit rather than doing a barebones re-recording. Peter's vocals were far superior. Actually quite good compared to the other stuff on this album, but Peter Criss' vocal performance absolutely cannot be reproduced. Thank God, they didn't screw this up too badly. I'm gonna just stop saying it though, after this final time: Why fix it when it clearly ain't broke?

ROCK AND ROLL ALL NITE - Definitely another that sounds like a cover band. Not terrible however. Eric's drum intro did not impress me at all. This version lacks the solo. Highly disappointing. Definitely a pointless rerecording.

DO YOU LOVE ME - Poor drum intro again. Not impressed with Paul's vocals either. Or the guitars or bass. Gene's got that tone issue again. Another cover band-sounding song. But not as bad as Shout It Out Loud. Pretty meh.

FOREVER - Not too familiar with this song, so I can't really comment.

I LOVE IT LOUD - Eric Singer's drums are far inferior again, but this time to Eric Carr's. Not as good as the original. But pretty good compared to the other stuff on the album. Gene's vocals sound good. But again, pointless.

LICK IT UP - I used to hate this song, but it's grown on me. This is definitely another song that sounds like a poor cover band, aside from the vocals. Not as bad as Shout it Out Loud, though. I dunno if they can out-suck that one.

LOVE GUN - Sounding like another barebones re-recording. More like Heaven's on Fire, Detroit or IWMFLY, in that it's just the same exact song, made slightly worse by the band's present limitations. Gotta hear the solo to give this a final verdict though. Not liking Eric's drums too much here. As simple as the solo for this song is, I love it. Here's it's slower, but exactly the same. And it sounds like at times, Tommy experimented with some harmonies in the solo, that didn't sound too great. Particularly the first harmony, it's pointless and random. But yeah, mediocre re-recording by KISS almost 40 years into their career.

CALLING DR. LOVE - Sounding like another mediocre re-recording. Gene's vocals are decent, but not great. Eric's cowbell sounds weird, and his drumming doesn't have the soul or the groove that Peter's did. I dunno exactly how to describe it, I guess that conveys it okay.. They sound more mechanical, like using a drum machine or something. Left in the cool hi-hat thing Peter did, but it sounds too perfect. Lol. As does Gene's vocals, as a matter of fact. Solo's alright. Slightly different, seems simplified again. Another of those mediocre re-recordings.

HOTTER THAN HELL - Again, I dislike Eric's drumming. Paul's alright, sounds like another mediocre re-recording. But the original sounded gritty, this sounds too produced. I suppose it could be re-done to sound better without sounding overproduced, but they didn't do it here. Or maybe the song just benefits from its imperfections. I dunno. On one hand, it sounds a bit too perfect, but other parts of the song are pretty good. Definitely not one of the worst on the album, but far from the best. Despite not downtuning, it sounded like it was a bit high for Paul to comfortably do. I dunno. Pointless.

So that's it. The big question I have for KISS here is... "Why?" But then I realize it's, you know, Gene Simmons' band, and Gene Simmons is a money hungry bastard. So yeah. It's pretty much to cash in. Entirely pointless - Why fix it if it ain't broke? None of the songs improved on the originals at all. Some sounded like pretty bad cover bands. High points? Black Diamond was pretty damn good, but it was hindered by the lack of Ace, and especially Peter. Heaven's On Fire was probably the closest to the original of all the songs, which could be good or bad, I'm not sure. Detroit wasn't bad. Low points? Shout it Out Loud. Christine Sixteen. I Was Made for Lovin' You.

Eric Singer is not a bad drummer, but he did not perform well on this CD in most cases. Gene had that strange tone to his bass a lot. I'd say Gene's vocals were the best on the CD. Tommy did nothing to make his guitar sound any different from Ace's, aside from some slight differences in tone (a lot of the tone is in the hands of the guitarist and how they play; as much as Tommy tries to emulate Ace - and he does - he can't do it exactly). Most of the solos were completely unchanged, some were slightly simplified. Black Diamond was changed up a bit, as was Love Gun (even less so), and a bit was added to Hotter Than Hell.

I could see re-recordings as not so pointless sometimes. Take Streetlight Manifesto's "Keasbey Nights" for example. Tomas Kalnoky wasn't happy with how it turned out with Catch-22, so he did it later with his new band, with better resources and production and whatnot. I believe Kirk Hammett has expressed slight interest in re-recording Kill 'Em All to fix some out-of-tune bends and whatnot. However, I'm pretty sure they wouldn't touch Cliff Burton's stuff now that he's dead. 

But this re-recording was totally pointless. Basically it probably happened like this.
Gene: "Hmm... How can I make more money today? Hey Paul, let's re-record all the classics and sell it in Japan."
Paul: "Uh, I don't know, Gene, I'm pretty busy painting circles and stars, but hey, why not, Gene?"
Gene: "Good. You know, Paul, while you're here in your stupid makeup, uh, why don't you pick up my fucking dry cleaning and get me a sandwich?"
Paul: "You got it, Gene!"

I dunno... Just why, KISS? Why bother re-recording all of this when no possible improvement could be made? Stupid.

Yes, we did it. Barack Obama is the next president!

His speech was excellent. McCain's was good, though his supporters did nothing to change how much they bother me. It's not the fact that they're supporting McCain. If you did your research and don't just support McCain because you think Obama is a terrorist or some other ridiculous accusation, I respect that. If you think he's a terrorist because his name sounds sort of like an Arab name (watch the McCain-Palin Mob video I'm about to link to, a couple women literally say that), shut the fuck up. That's completely ridiculous and it scares me that people actually think like that. People such as those in videos like http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KjxzmaXAg9E&feature=related and http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=itEucdhf4Us admitted themselves they didn't know much about Barack Obama. So how could they have known, really, who they supported, without knowing the opponent? Such ignorance. But yeah, it's kind of a moot point now. I'm so glad that the majority of people don't think like that (obviously, as Obama won massively in the electoral college and also did win the popular vote).

But damn, did the McCain supporters show poor sportsmanship, for lack of a better term, when they booed several times at the mere mention of Obama's name. I thought McCain sounded like a nice guy, made a good speech, and his supporters did nothing to change my negative views of them. Despite a few grammatical and spelling errors, I think this random guy from the NationStates forums sums it up well:

"Im impressed. McCain showed honor, integrity, and humility. He even tried to shut up his idiotic supporters (who are frankly just be embarassing).

He took responsibility for himself and went out on a positive note.

If this McCain had run, I would have not been terrified of his electon."

And then the few McCain supporters I know of in this area are saying that they're going to leave the country and acting like the people who voted for Obama are out of THEIR minds... It just bothers me. Have they met a lot of the McCain supporters? lol...

Yeah, I know Barack isn't going to be a perfect president. Nobody would be. He's gonna have a lot of shit on his plate to deal with, and it'll be very tough. But I think he's going to be a vast improvement on Dubya. And much better than McCain.

I'm just so glad Obama won. It's really a relief. I think the next few years are going to be much better than the past eight.

I feel as though I made a complete jackass of myself over the course of today.

My mind is fucked up.

Luckily, I don't think I've done any damage. It'll probably just be overlooked.

Meh.

Today I've been getting a huge urge to just try and record some shit. I dunno if it'll end up being used.

I have to try to learn that song for Josh, but I keep getting ADD.

But I really wanna try to do the guitar and bass parts for "Bleeder" by Alkaline Trio. And yeah.

I wish I was able to write music. But I wanna try recording a cover right now. Lol.

Who knows? Doubt it. Maybe. I didn't think there was anything I wanted to say that I was willing to say online, but there may just be some things.

Meh. I want winter break. My relationship with Emily is excellent, aside from the fact that AT MOST I'm seeing her twice a week, usually less. And that's a huge reason why I want winter break, so I can see her more often. School sucks. My Ecology class is boring and I completely disagree with my professor's teaching method. I thought Ecology would be kind of cool, but it's just been boring so far. My English class is pretty good though, easy and it goes surprisingly fast. I like MWF much better than TR this year. Shorter classes and I get the worse class out of the way first. I don't have any legit complaints about my Tuesday and Thursday classes, but they drag on really badly. And I have a break that also drags, for an hour and forty-five minutes. If I stay at school I'll just end up on the computer, which I do enough at home anyways and I'm actually getting kind of sick of, so I've been going to the Westfarms Mall area. But that's gonna get old really soon as well. What is there to do? I've been to the Halloween store (meh, no better or worse than any other I've been to, they're all overpriced), Borders, and Best Buy. The mall sucks, especially without anybody to hang out with. Daddy's Junky Music is okay, but no Guitar Center. I usually leave within ten minutes. But yeah, about TR classes, there's Psych (which so far has been review - BORING) and Philosophy. Meh. They drag. I just need school to be over so I can see Em (and other friends) more often.

Because it always seems to be that when I'm free nobody else is. Granted I do some things, but there's not too much variation. Summer means more people are free to do more things. Having to work around school sucks, because your nights are eaten up by work and you're available less. So what it is now is if a couple people don't have school or work or homework or any of that bullshit, just chill some. No cool trips to the beach or anything, just hanging out is more the norm for school days. I'm fucking rambling and it probably makes no sense, because I'm probably contradicting myself everywhere. But I digress.

I'm legit getting sick of using the computer. That's something nobody probably expected. Nobody else is free for a lot of the time that I am, so I've got too much time on my hands that I can't use the way that I want to use it. So I'm stuck on the computer doing nothing. Meh. Nobody's gonna read this anyways. Fuck technology, I think I'm gonna spend my last half hour or so before work on the PS2 because the computer is really bugging me right now.

Yeah, so graduation is soon. And even though I'll see most of the people that I have any real desire to see fairly often (because most of my friends are either pursuing higher education around here or not going to school), it's bittersweet.

Compson's video put it into perspective for me. I'm sorry I ragged on the guy. He's not a creep, he's just a nice guy (granted with not much of a life) who wanted to document the schooling of the class he advised. Will any other advisors tape every significant event and show it to the kids at the end of their high school career? I highly doubt it. And seeing everybody in the videos from 2003 to now... Everybody's changed and matured, and I'm not gonna regularly see many of these people (if at all) anymore after graduation. We're a small class so I at least know everybody's name. And seeing all the crap we went through in these four years was crazy. It'll be great to get out of there and do something new, but it'll suck that I'll miss some people.

Ah, yeah. So class night was kinda fun. The video was awesome. Picnic tomorrow, prom Saturday, and 'sickness' Monday. Lol. And graduation soon. Amazing. But bittersweet.

Fergie did a cover of Heart's "Barracuda". And even though it's a relatively boring, bare-bones cover, I really like Fergie's voice on it.

<_<

Just thought all one of you readers would like to know.

I'm uberly bored......

And I'm extra hungry today and yesterday for some reason.

And I just have this like... annoyed feeling for no real reason. Agh. Confused. I just wanna get the hell out of the house. Lol.

Stupidity.

This week I've been either out or sick every day. Lol.

But hey, I had fun. I just watched TV all day when I was sick and I'm having fun when I'm out with friends.

So yeah.

I wish I had something better to write about.

But then again, nobody reads this. So woo. :P

Lol. Went and got measured for my tux for Saturday, got new glasses (I can see now!), got a haircut, and drove for a while with mi madre.

Yeah.

Now that fuck Jack Thompson is blaming the VA Tech killings on Counter-Strike. Every one of his claims is completely ludicrous. And this one's undoubtably wrong, because they searched the guy's dorm and found no video games. I've never held a gun but I'm 99.9% sure that it's different from playing Counter-Strike or GTA.

Read the title.

Anybody wanna buy me a new one? Preferably a nice Crate half-stack?

Or just donate money towards one? <_<

Read the title.

I still hate Lenge though.
