School Thursday.... um no.

So basically, school Thursday is going to end. I dont want to talk about school! what? So Thursday is going to be people Thursday. Basically, random awesome people I see through out the week. So without further ado... thats a weird word... This weeks awesome people.

FUNNY OLD MAN: Me and my friends were hanging out when this old guy walks up to us and starts telling us jokes. We had no idea who he was, and he told us to tell all of our friends the jokes. Later that day, we just happened to see him again. He had the same jokes. :)

OLD MAN #2: We were just walking into our local gym, when we saw this guy walking backwards on the treadmill. We watched for a little bit, and he was rocking out to his iPod. Made my morning.

MATH CLASS TRAUMA: We were listening to our teacher try to explain something we were supposed to understand. After fifteen minutes of not turning from the white board, and us staring blankly at him, he turns around as asks the class, "So what's the first thing we do for this problem?" and a girl in the back of the class hopelessly answers, "Cry?" We had a good laugh.

Well, those are the awesome people of the week.

Food Wednesday.

The two worst foods for elegant eating EVER : spaghetti, and salad.

I mean really, they are truly wonderful foods, but have you ever been at a really nice restaurant, and you have gotten sauce or dressing ALL OVER your face? Or your on some date trying to impress them, and you look like the scarecrow with noodles hanging out of your mouth? And the best is trying to get it all in your mouth if you know what I mean. You try sucking the noodles up, and when that doesn't work, you try using your fork. When THAT doesn't work, you use your hands, and by this time, you have gotten every dirty look from every snotty person in the building. Honestly? is there a correct way to eat spaghetti? Because I cant do it!

Salads are bad too. Like when you get that one extra big piece that you have avoided for the entire time you've been eating? You try to fold it all on your fork, but its too thin to get, so you have to awkwardly shove it in? Yeah. Problems my friends. Don't even get me started on plastic ware....
 You know what? I'm going to invent special forks especially designed for these items. The salad one will require extra extra sharpness, and the spaghetti will have built in choppers to chop the extra noodle off. Gazillion dollar idea right there. Your welcome.

TV Tuesday. Julian awesome.

Today is TV Tuesday, and as such, I would like to express my love for one of my new favorite Youtube people... (now, i would call It Tube Tuesday, but There will be shows i need to talk about in the spring)

So lets play the guessing game. Who could I be talking about? Their favorite beverages include Hot Kool-Aid, and malk. They love their righteous Gran who wears Mary Kay, and hate 25 things about Facebook. And he has something to say to everyone: that trees hate you.

Who could I be talking about other than the absolutely amazing Julian Smith. Yes, Probably one of the top five of funniest people on YouTube. I'm Not Joking. He made every single video FOR YOU! and if you dont watch them, he HATES YOU! I'm just saying. If you don't watch these videos, he'll pour them on the floor and blame it on you. I know, real mature right?

Here is a link to his YouTube channel: juliansmith87

Music Monday. DISNEY!

Well, now that the dreadful weeks of Beethoven are FINALLY over, time to get down to business... to defeat the Huns... Oh yes. you know what I'm talking about. Music. Disney Music.

Today, I have listened to the Tarzan movie soundtrack three times. Why? I'm not really sure. The point is, is that it was awesome. Why is Disney so awesome? Because I said so.

Every soundtrack from Mulan to Tarzan to The little Mermaid (the list could go on and on and on) is basically amazing. Think of the favorites: Under the Sea, The Circle of Life, A Whole New World, etc. When you really listen to them, the arrangements and the actual music part, is actually really good. I mean, we all think of our five year old self dancing in front of the TV, singing it at the top of our lungs.... oh wait.. I did that last week. anyway,  the point is, Disney is a great great thing and should be taking over the world, rather than McD's. Lets get a Disn-nolds before we get a McDisney. PLEASE. And if you think Disney is over rated.... I weep for you. Truly.

I have a dream... that one day, the world will be one united Disney Land called Disney Planet, and we will all live in the Cinderella castle of our choice. This is my solution for world peace. I'm not saying it will work for sure, but it just might.

-Ps.... that had nothing to do with music by the way... i just needed to get that point across. :)

wow. Thurfrisatsunday!

Well, in truth, there was nothing to write about on Thursday. zero. If you go to school, you know why. So I couldn't think of anything to write about. Friday and Saturday, I was out of town, had an awesome day (so nothing to rant about), and Saturday, I slept......... a ton, and didn't watch any movies... so Now that I've made my excuses, and I've done all that crud, Lets move on to today finally. FINALLY.

Misc Sunday.
So, an interesting topic i think, is something along the lines of the future. What do you want to do with it? Well, right now, your not doing a whole lot but staring at a screen, reading a lame post by someone who does the same. What could you be doing? Sure, you don't have a whole lot of time on your hands. You have school, a job maybe, people to see, things to do. Everyone does. But what ever happened to that picture you drew in high school that your teacher wanted to buy from you? or that Guitar that's collecting dust in the closet? or that cheesy song you wrote for your ex girlfriend from your junior year that you guiltily kept? Not to mention that novel you started to write that you never finished. I'm talking unfinished masterpieces that haven't been discovered. Our guilty pleasures. Our unfinished projects. Where did they go? Well, I'll tell you where they went.

Down with the news and the politics and your boss and everything else you have on your plate. What would happen if you brought them to the surface? I just might be suggesting that the politics are taking over, and it's time for Renascence 2. The final question isn't why, it's why not? What could we come up with this time? It's kinda fun to think about. Just saying.

Slacking? I think yes.

Alright. This is getting a little ridiculous. I cant keep up. Well I'm not going to worry about that right now. The main focus of this post is to try to cram three days of missing in to one. So here we go.
MONDAY: Music Monday to be exact. I think I have come to a conclusion. Yes, my scores after listening to Beethoven were kinda better. But here I give you my theory. The only reason that Beethoven is good for studying is because you don't know the song most of the time. With your favorite band, you know every word, so while you should be doing your homework, your dancing, and singing into your pen. Beethoven is background music, so you don't really pay attention to it.
TUESDAY: TV Tuesday? What? If I might be plain with you, the only show I really watched this week was Antiques Road Show. Why? Not really sure. Why do we watch the shows we do? Honestly. If you think about it, they have a TV show for just about everything, including cake decorating, antique dealing, teeth whiting, and golf. Why? Why do we sit in front of a box for an hour, watching other people do things? Answer: It's the American way. Thats what we specialize in. sitting on the couch... and sitting on the couch... and.....:)
WEDNESDAY: Food Wednesday. Funny thing, I ate barely nothing on Wednesday. But the one thing I did eat was a SmashBurger. Have you been there? Because if you haven't, you are being deprived of some of the most glorious burgers in the universe. Hot, juicy, flavor runs down your fingers and drips on to your tray, leaving a big grease mark. There is just enough crunch to satisfy, and fresh pounded burgers steaming off the grill. I need to stop because I'm making my own mouth water. The point is, go. Go and eat a bite of everything American food stands for.
Well, that was three days. Thursday (today) will be posted later on tonight. enjoy. :)

Misc. Sunday National Talk Like a Pirate Day.

Misc. Sunday. Alright. It's time to bring something to the attention of everyone in the entire world. Today, September the 19, is National Talk Like a Pirate Day. It's a fact. Its my favorite holiday. Basically, you dress up like a pirate and you have a party, watch pirate movies, have plastic (or real) sward fights,eat lots of food and everyone of course talks like a pirate. Where I live, it's a pretty big deal. But most people have never heard of it. Why? I don't really know, and I think its a crime that no one does.

My goal of this post is to try to convince the world of this underrated holiday. It's only National, but why isn't it international? Everyone should have an excuse to dress up like a pirate every now and then. Get your boots, cut up your jeans, find an eye patch, stick a sward in your belt and get out there. It's an excuse to be awesome. It's basically saying to everyone else: Peace out I'm going to be awesome today. You can join me if you want.

 If you own an actual sword, please wear it! If  the only thing you have is one of those Star Wars plastic pop-out light sabers, wear it anyway. Go have a good time. It's Talk Like a Pirate day.

Movie Saturday weird, weird movie

So if they had a list of every weird mind twisting movie ever made, what would be on that list? Well, for sure inception would be at the very top. But this movie I saw yesterday would probably be second. Honestly, who thinks of this stuff? I need to meet them.....

Well this movie I saw last night was called Passengers with Anne Hathaway. Now, this movie isn't scary, but it is. It always seems like something is going to jump out at you, but nothing ever does. It's just weird. It's about this therapist (Anne Hathaway) who is counseling these surviving passengers of this plane crash. They all are invited to these sessions, but one guy doesn't accept, and acts strangely. They other passengers are starting to slowly vanishing, and the therapist is worried. She thinks that this guy is following her from the airline, because she thinks that they are trying to cover up the fact that it was a human error that caused the crash. But once she finds out the truth, everything you thought was happening flips upside down.

I think this movie is probably in the science fiction-weird-sad-creepy-love story category. It's super hard to explain, but it was actually really good. I'd give it about three and a half stars. I'd say go see it if you like science fiction-weird-sad-creepy-love stories.

Ranting Friday.

So tonight I experienced my second ever football game that wasn't on the television. No, I'm not really a football person, but I do love my school.... and when someone violates our awesomeness, bad things must come upon them.

At my school, we are famous for our crazy spectators that cheer and dress up and everything. And to add to that, we've been keeping up this tradition for about 30 or so years. We have cheers that go back to day one. But tonight, we were violated.

This school we were playing was only two years old. Two. What did they do? They stole our cheer. Now, you might not think of this as such a big deal, but it was. It was a huge deal. They took it, and disrespected it. They replaced words to fit their school's. They broke the unwritten law of cheer jacking. Not cool.

I wasn't the only one who was overly bugged. Heads were turning and shaking, and eyes were glaring. Now, you don't just do that to a school like ours. It will cost you. And we charged them. It cost them 2 touch downs with in 5 minutes. Satisfying? Yes. Quite.

School Thursday

So for this post, I was going to post a sonnet I actually wrote containing my frustration towards math during a very dark time in my life, but i just realized that it contains errors. So maybe by next week it will be up. But for now, what am I going to talk about? Cursive. 

Does anyone else feel ripped off? We, the scholars of  this generation have been brutally lied to. Ever since we started we have been forced into this curvy, swirly, twirly way of 'neat' writing. Our hands were cramping up after forty-five straight minutes of writing A, B, C.... while our teacher was lecturing on how we are going to use it every day of our lives in high school and collage. I remember having a nightmare about cursive. And for what? What do I get out of all this pain and suffering? Nothing. Just every teacher telling me it needs to be typed. How many hours could you wrack up just with all the time spent on cursive? I don't know exact numbers, but it's about half a lifetime before you turned seven. No joke. We could have been doing more productive activities like learning Viking dance rituals.... (see the post below)    

Next week, a math sonnet. Until then, the cursive veto! Save the next generation.

Food Wednesday.... String cheese.

So basically I've decided I'm horrible at posting every day. But this must change... eventually.:)

In my personal opinion, the absolute best snack is cheese. Not just any kind of cheese. STRING cheese. It's portable, you CAN eat it with one hand, it's not messy... unless you're awesome like me, and it's cheese. It's the bomb. So let me lay down some techniques, and important rules to this wonderful food.

  • Technique #1: The Stroke: Hold your cheese upright and medium-gently stroke the top of the cheese near the edge, and peel the string of cheese down SLOWLY  so you get the full length of cheese. Then dangle it above your mouth, release, and be thou satisfied. 
  • Technique #2 The Vampire: This is ideally done when one hand cannot be used. Hold your cheese upright, and place your front teeth (fangs) on the top, near the edge of the cheese, and peel with teeth. Please try not to frighten anyone while doing so, but it usually is inevitable. Please note that this is done by the more awesome of professional string cheese peelers, and takes weeks to master.
  • Technique #3 The Wimp: This is done by mainly careless people who don't respect the art of string cheese. So they simply bite the cheese like a candy bar. If you see this done by anyone, please educate them in the beauty of string cheese. You may just save them from dying with out the true meaning of cheese.
  • Now, the fourth technique, it is complicated. Imagine if you will, an interpretive victory dance done by the Vikings, with two red painted war streaks on your face, juggling three wrapped string cheeses, and when the dance is done, you are flat on your back with all three cheeses (unwrapped) sticking out of your mouth. It takes years of practice, but once mastered, can burn eyes out in immaculate spectacularity.

TV Tuesday.. oh boy.

So, if I were to ask what was the best cheesiest show ever, what would be the answer? Two words. American Idol.
Now I realize that it doesn't even start till January, but there is some important news that everyone in the entire world needs to know, regardless of whether they care or not. Simon is leaving.... and being replaced by Jenifer Lopez..... Whats wrong with this picture?
I'll tell you whats wrong.
First of all, where did this idea come from? When the producers sat down in there little conference room around a over-waxed, over-priced, oval shaped table (their coffee in matching white mugs on top of 'Beatles' coasters from Disney World), they needed to answer a question. Who could ever take Simon Cowell's place? The bigger question is, as they were all scraching their chinny chin chins, who raised their hand and said, "Sir, I think Jenifer Lopez would make a good replacement, Sir." And of course he responded, "Thats a super spectacular idea!!! I'm so enthused! call her up right now!!"
      ....???
Now, I know for sure that I'm not the only one confused here. What does Simon think of all this? Just think... he's standing in his 4,000 square ft. bathroom looking in his 3,000$ mirror, checking out his new 2,000$ v-neck shirt and he gets a call... from his 1000$ cell phone. "Excuse me Sir, just letting you know that  Jenifer Lopez is replacing you on American Idol. Have a nice day." 
Well, we'll just have to see what happens. If Simon storms in, wide eyed and dangerous, heading for the judges table, don't say I told you so.
P.S. and just so you know, according to the radio, (the place of all great information) Ellen and Kara are leaving too.... So I guess they have been talking about Bret Michaels? Confused. Just confused.

Music Monday: The Beethoven challenge part 2

Alright. So for the past week, whenever I was studying, doing homework, etc., I was listening to MUSE. Now, the results? Um.... I'm not going to post my exact scores... but man... ouch. I mean, it's not going to hurt me too bad, but man. Beethoven better work this week.. I have a math test. So, let me run over my experiment.

  • Prediction: MUSE is just as good, if not better than Beethoven for studying and homework.
  • Execution: I listened to MUSE while studying and doing my homework for a week.
  • Results: Not good.
  • Conclusion: Prediction (so far) = fail.
However!! I did get 100% on my A.P. novel test!... oh wait... I didn't study for that did I.... Well, just as a side note, MUSE is still the greatest band ever... just don't listen to them while studying. Next Monday I will tell you my results after listening to Beethoven while doing my homework.

Sunday, September 12, 2010

ah. finally, Misc. Sunday

Wow. I'm pretty proud of my self cranking out four posts today. Sorry again about that.

Well as I write my final post today (I promise), drinking my home made smoothie, triumphing over my math homework, and conquering my A.P. novel, I feel pretty good. Good enough you might say to talk about... giggle..... MOCKINGJAY!!! Goodness! have you read it yet???? Ya. no. I haven't actually. but I'm super excited to. I just started, and I will probably talk about it and update whats happening in the book every Sunday.  If you haven't read the first two (Hunger Games and Catching Fire), they are really good books and I would suggest them. If you plan on reading them, don't read Sunday posts for a while... and if you don't really care, I'm also talking about other things on Sunday as well.
So for the second half of Sunday, I am going to give you a little update on my guitar self teaching. I can now play 16 songs, Including Undisclosed Desires (MUSE) and Glitter in the Air (P!ink). I still have 0 idea on how to read tabs, ..... I'm really good at chords tho! haha I'm such a slacker. And as a plus, I got a bunch of picks with all of the Beatles heads on them. 2 of each of them! haha I like playing with John's head the best. Anyway, enjoy the rest of Sunday night!

Movie Saturday

Movie: Inception.
My rating: 6 stars.
That means: There is nothing like it. If you haven't seen it, Thou shalt go.

Is it possible to explain this movie in one sentience? False. Is it possible to basically not blink for about 2 1/2 hours? True. Is this movie awesomely amazing? FACT.
Now, i'm not even going to pretend that I can somewhat explain this movie, but I'll try.
This new technology makes it possible for people to enter other peoples dreams. Leonardo Dicaprio is really good at it and gets a job offer to plant the idea that this other guy needs to end his dying father's empire so they don't take over the world.....
Ya. once again, i'm not going to pretend I can explain this movie, and I give up. So if you haven't seen it, please do. It falls in the category of suspenseful-epic-science fiction. And it is pretty darn cool.

Ranting Friday... my favorite...

So for Friday's rant, we are going to explore the WONDERFUL wold of anal teachers. Now, In all of my schooling life, I have never, not once, had a teacher like the one I have now. No names will be mentioned, but oooh they are golden. That is to say, they get the gold medal for getting on my nerves. Let me tell you about them.

In their class, everything, i kid you not, EVERYTHING is labeled. They have painted lines on the carpet for where your desk should be aligned. You are assigned a notebook, and if your table of contents isn't complete and or you haven't written every word of a question  from a book assignment, you get, what is it?  Half credit (an F), even if everything else is in there. If your text book and your notebook are not on your desk when the bell rings, you are tardy. And also, if you don't put your Popsicle stick in the 'on time' beaker, you are tardy and or absent, and you get no credit for the day.

Now, I'm sure that they know what they are teaching and all. they do have a doctorate and they are quite proud of that. But really. We are in high school here. Popsicle sticks? really. REALLY? You painted lines on the carpet? Well, I cant make everyone (aka this teacher) see that it's a little extreme. But most people agree with me on this. Glad most of us are still sane.

School Thursday

Good evening. For the topic of school, I would like to point out a difficult aspect of it. That is, staying awake. Now, you may not have a problem with this. You might embrace your lethargic-ness and sleep on. But for those of us who find staying a wake a challenge with the monotone teacher or the overly warm classroom, it truly is the song that never ends.

Now over the years of my sleepiness,  I have found some solutions.

  1. Bring food. Unless your teacher specifically said not to (and even if they did, just sneak it), bring food. It works super awesomely. 
  2. Lift your legs. An old trick I learned for staying awake in meetings, is try to keep your feet of the ground. If your doing that, sleeping shouldn't be a problemo.
  3. If you are an extreme class sleeper and don't feel like fighting it, do something that was done in Pirates Of the Caribbean 2. Paint eyes on your eyelids. Your fooling your teacher into thinking your an excellent student.... lets just hope they don't call on you.

...sorry...

So if you haven't noticed, I haven't posted since Wednesday. My stupid internet crashed, and I just barely got it to work again. Please excuse me. So now, I'm going to make up for all of the days starting with Thursday, all the way up to today. Enjoy. ;)

Food Wednesday

So writing about food seems a little lame compared to what i wrote about in my last post, not going to lie. But, come on. It's food.

So, me personally, I LOVE FOOD. But more importantly, I love breakfast.

The art of breakfast is just that: an art. You see, breakfast done right is supposed to be a celebration in itself. Break- fast. You are breaking a fast. That is to say, you are celebrating eating again after a long and dreary night of no food. Seriously. When you put it that way, all hours between nite-nite and good morning are just plain depressing. I mean, that's why they invented the midnight snack: because some of us JUST CANT TAKE IT ANYMORE!!!!!

Now lately, McD's is saying that they are changing peoples lives with their breakfast. Now I'm sorry if you like McD's, but I'll tell you what changed my life. Super Size Me (a documentary about this guy who eats nothing but McD's for a month, it gave me night mares) changed my life. Since I watched that movie, I have been to McD's about 3 times since. I watched it three years ago.

Now don't worry, they are still going to take over the world. One day, well all wake up NOT to the smell of our mothers cooking bacon, but the smell of egg McMuffins McCooking on the McStove. And then we will get our McDictionary and look up other McWords to Mc. We will salute to the Ronald McDonald every McMorning.... and so on and so forth.

Excuse: Broadway.

Please excuse me for not posing TV Tuesday on Tuesday. I however have a very exciting story to tell that relates to TV Tuesday, so I will write what I failed to write yesterday. I'm really exited about this post....:)

Yesterday at roughly 7:30 P.M. at night, (19:30) everyone was in their seats, and the suspense couldn't wait any longer. The lights dimmed, the curtains rose, and the famous opening notes of the Lion King began. On stage, the  carefully constructed set of a sun rising in the African heat pulled every eye and imagination in. As the music played, on either isle, just plain old actors were carefully transformed into every African animal you can think of. Every costume was life-sized, beautiful, and inhumanly spectacular. Once all of the animals had danced and sung their way onto the stage,  Mufasa could be seen on the rock, and the future king was held high in the air. Then came a chest rattling crash of drums. The theater was filled with applause.

Now, this is just a small taste of where I was at last night; the Broadway version of The Lion King. You may have heard of it. I  can honestly say I've never experienced something so imaginatively epic as that production. I was told that the costumes were pretty amazing. I didn't think much of it until I was staring open mouthed at the fluidity between the animal and the human merged together into a 20 foot giraffe. Can you say crazy sauce.

I usually make fun of things, but honestly, it was too immaculately majestic to say anything remotely negative. I am running out of adjectives as you may have noticed... so before I write a 20 page analysis of every second of it, let me just say this. If you can afford it, go. Find tickets and go. You'll have the time of your life I promise.

Music Monday: The Beethoven challenge.

So, in an effort to make miserable Mondays more better, I have decided to add one of my favorite subjects to Monday.. that would be Music.
So... there are some people in this world that say listening to Beethoven makes you smarter. You've  herd that before right? Personally, I think its a bunch of crud. I think that Beethoven isn't for everyone, and my theory is that if I listen to MUSE's symphonies, I would get better results than listening to Beethoven.
 So. For the next week, I am going to listen to MUSE while I study and do my homework. After this, on Monday I will post my scores on my quiz's, and such. The next week I will try; TRY to listen to Beethoven while I study and do my homework. In one weeks time I will post my results, and I will either prove this theory right, or I will prove this theory wrong. If I don't come to a conclusion, I will further my research. But for right now, I am going on an old saying, and my gut. If this ends badly..............

Misc. Sunday

 So, on this glorious night, I'm going to talk about.... Why I hate printers.
 Today, I kinda had important things to print of. You know... extremely urgent stuff like... guitar tabs from ultimate-guitar.com. You know, life and death stuff right there. So I click print and all, but then I look in the actual printer after it started printing, and there isn't enough paper. So, I get a stack of paper and put it in there.
Now, I would understand if the printer got confused and took another piece of paper with the one it already took. But no. I put the stack of paper in there and... nothing happens. But a few seconds later, the printer decides it needs more paper, (the first page isn't even done printing yet) and goes for another piece of paper, and grabs the entire stack. I didn't even know it could fit three pieces of paper let alone the thirty that were in there.
So of coarse it gets jammed, so I reach in there and take about ten minutes getting two pieces of paper out, and think "oh great, how long is this going to take?" and then I sort of tug on the rest of the stack that is half way through by now, and it comes out like nothing's wrong. I was so confused. Anyway, so after that, it was all fine and dandy.
Now, I understand my printer is a piece of junk. It takes about a life time to start printing. But honestly. You'd think it would be smarter than that. I don't know. I'll probably wake up tomorrow and find that my printer has grown horns, has fashioned itself a spear out of paper, and is spitting ink flavored fire at my face. who knows; anything is possible I guess if you just believe.

Last minute thought

So as I was thinking of the possibilities for Movie Saturday, I thought to myself, "Self, whats a good movie?" obviously. I thought of my top three right now: Inception, Toy Story 3, and Despicable Me. Those are my current top three, but I'm pretty sure I've written about all of them. (If I haven't, I defiantly will) The Mean Girls thought didn't come to me till later, but for about ten minutes (because I spend that much time thinking about stuff like that because of my lack of life) the only thing I could think of was YouTube videos. So I thought again to myself, "Self, why cant you write about YouTube videos on Movie Saturday?" So I decided in favor of this thought.

Now, this person is basically so amazing, i couldn't just pick one video. He is British, he likes his tea "quite milky", he loves Dr. Who?, and his hair is most defiantly fire truck red. Who could I possibly be talking about? Why, charlieissocoollike of coarse!!

If you are pondering why you haven't had the almost imponderable joy of watching charlieissocoollike, (and why you aren't like, cool) I urge you; no, I beg you to watch him. He is basically the bomb.com. so here I shall give you a link to have some imponderable joyous times:charlieissocoollike

"(cough cough) I'm sick."

So... if you haven't noticed.... its Saturday... What does Saturday mean? it means movies. So you might be wondering what movie I watched. Well. for the past two-ish hours, I devoted my eyes and ears to the always wonderful, Mean Girls.

Now, the basic message of the movie is to not judge, spread rumors, hate, or pull pranks on people. And if you look at that list, it basically has High School written all over it. Now the movie exaggerates it highly. It might feel like everyone is looking at you after you do something bad, but the entire lunchroom doesn't go silent and glare at you as you walk past. If some popular girl cuts two holes in her shirt, all the girls in the school aren't going to follow in her over rated foot steps. But hey. Every good movie is exaggerated to the point of puking right? (in this movie, quite literally)

Well, all in all, this movie was a great reminder of how Lindsay Lohan used to be "normal".  My theory is that deep down inside, she really is trying. (you must understand that I'm trying to apply the lessons learned in the movie by not passing judgement.... not working too well is it?)

Alright. So there you have a movie for movie Saturday. This movie is probably in the teenage-chick-flick-drama category. if thats your category, go for it. :)

Ladies and Gentlemen, Ranting Friday

     Now on this Glorious day, there are a few things to be happy about.
            
    You know, the normal school's out, you go home, jump in your Snuggie, and watch all 8 hours of  DVRed daytime television, cooking shows, and soaps you missed during the week. While your drinking your kool-aid, your best friend Bernardo from Norway (he really thinks he's from Narnia) calls you up to ask if you want to play some Halo and or World of Warcraft over at his place because he still lives with his parents and he's feeling a little lonely. You Make some excuse as why you cant make it, like, "I need to fluff my bedazzled powder blue shower cap." and he says that he understands in a very deep way, that just makes you question his mental status and I could go on and on and on.
  
     But there is one thing about Friday... The dark side of Friday. The side that brings out the antisocial attitude in us. The mentality that this is my break. this is my weekend. I'm not going to spend it with you; you whom I see EVERY DAY OF MY LIFE.

    No, tonight, its just me, myself, my non-existent life, and my string cheese. And there ain't nothin' you can do about it.

This has been an introduction to all other future Friday Posts. Kinda like a disclosure document to a class. But better.

It's Friday... :)

A while back, I said something about Friday being the grand and glorious day ranting. Now, I will do this in a minute... but I might just make a schedule for myself real fast...
  • Monday: Music Monday.
  • Tuesday: TV Tuesday
  • Wednesday: Food Wednesday
  • Thursday: School Thursday
  • Friday: Ranting Friday
  • Saturday: Movie Saturday
  • Sunday: Misc. Sunday
Now I'll try to stick to this schedule, but... it might be rough. Any way. So I think it will work out pretty well. I'll try to update more often... and it'll be a party! alright. now for some good ranting... X)
