WARNING: PLOT ENDING AND/OR DETAILS FOLLOW. DON'T WANT TO KNOW? THEN DON'T READ!
District 9. Probably one of the most well-kept secretive movies of all time (that I know of). By this, I mean, the trailers don't tell you crap. The trailers show you some scenes and a little bit of information, but everything in the film is shrouded in mystery. I'd like to point out that this is not one of those "ALIENS HAVE LANDED IN DC/NEW YORK/CHICAGO AND LET'S SEND IN OR ENTIRE MILITARY TO DESTROY THEM!" movies. In fact... it doesn't take place in the United States at all... or North America. No, it takes place in Johannesberg, South Africa. Hence the accents everyone has. The movie is filmed documentary-style for the most part. This means interviews, news reels, security camera footage and all sorts of things of that nature. But no, it is not another Cloverfield, so you don't have to worry.
In the movie, 20 years ago a ship appeared above the South African city of Johannesburg and just sat there for several months. The military managed to cut their way into the ship and found several malnourished aliens inside. After taking them down, they gave them food and a place to live. The aliens began to strike and raise hell, rioting and trying to survive lthrough hostile means, thus District 9 was born. Distric 9 and the "Humans Only!" signs are plays on District 6 and "Whites Only!" which was a real problem in South Africa several years ago.
In order to keep the aliens in order, the Multinational United (MNU) was created. The movie stars a young man who works for the MNU and goes into District 9 to evict the aliens and send them to a new place. During this, 2 alien men and a child (the aliens are referred to as "Prawns", by the way...) find something and use it to create some guel inside a canister. They hide the canister but the MNU agent finds it. It sprays him with a black liquid and he progressively gets sicker througholut the day. He is taken to a hospital with a bandaged arm and they remove the bandages to reveal an alien arm. The humans are incapable of operating the alien weapons due to the weapons needing alien DNA to work (they are part biological). This alien arm is capable of firing the weapon, so MNU plans to harvest his organs in order to allow humans to operate the weapons. The man gets away and re-enters District 9, one of the aliens, named Christopher, tells the man he can fix him. They go to retrieve the fuel that will take them up to the mothership on a "suicide mission" into the MNU facility. They retrieve it and bring it back, but Christopher tells the Hybrid man that her will come back in 3 years to fix him, since the aliens must come first in order to survive.
I liked this movie. A lot. It involves a lot of realistic aspects, not just military vs. aliens. There are some people in District 9 who eat the aliens in beliefs that they will become like them. They also trade food for aliens weapons, despite not being able to use them. I liked the aliens, particularly, because they have primitive needs but are extremly advanced, capable of creating biological weapons the size of a handgun with the effects of a bazooka. They scavenge for food, looking for everything they can to eat. They create makeshifts huts out of whatever materials they can find and wear scraps of clothes. This movie is much like a modern-day Holocaust, because the aliens are not allowed to leave, they are kept in these camps an dmust do as ordered. The movie is incredible and has a lot of good aspects. The aliens had great designs, as did the robot suit that was used later in the movie. The weapons used were not those annoying shiny, perfect, glowy weapons you see in most movies, but were in fact, a dulled, faded, battered old look. I give this movie an 8/10 and suggest watching it.

Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen Movie Review
WARNING! SPOILERS FOLLOW!! DON'T LIKE? DON'T READ!
Okay, first thing's first, I apologize for not posting blogs about the other 2 days of AE, I didn't have the time. However, if you would like to see my VLog, go to youtube.com/user/n00bCosplay and you can see my videos about it there.
Anyways, yesterday, my friends and I went to see T:RotF. These are my thoughts, a bit of a synopsis, and yaddah-yaddah-yaddah...
Okay, well here we go. Comparing the movie to it's predecesor, you can see huge changes. First, as they said, there is way more robot activity. And by that, I mean there are way more robots and robot screen time. So this a good thing for all the people who complained about the lack of such in the first movie. The interaction between the robots and the humans is greater, and the military meets up with Sam much earlier in the movie, lessening the amount of transitions between areas (Middle East to U.S. and back again). It's hard to say which movie was better. I liked the first one for it's military usage, but I liked this one because of the robots.
My first thought, after seeing the movie, is that the face destruction thing was way too overused. To explain: most characters that died either had their face sliced/diced/ripped/blasted or destroyed in some way as their murder, or it was at least destroyed before they died (Optimus was shot and punched multiple times in the face before being pierced through the Spark). I was also sort of disappointed in the fact that the Decepticon Sideways (the Audi R8) was killed and you never saw his face. He was in car form and his long-time rival, Sideways (the Corvette Stingray) shoved a blade through his hood and dragged it through, effectively slicing him in half and thus, killing him.
I was confused about some things in Cairo/Egypt. First of all: After Jetfire opened up a portal and transported himself, Sam, Ace, Simmons, Mikaela and Wheelie to Egypt, Sam's hand is in a cast. This is strange because, only moments before, it had been fine. Now yes, I iknow the real life reason for this (when he flipped his car) but this seemed a little out of place and I was hoping for a better explanation of it. Another thing is this: While Simmons, Ace, Mudflap and Skids are engaging Devastator (who is made up of all 7 Constructicons), yet at the same time, Sam, Mikaela, and the rest of the Autobots, as well as the military, are engaging the same Constructicons. Also, at the beginning of the movie, the Constructicon named Hightower (a large Tuss Crane) was killed, yet, he is later seen in vehicle mode, combining to form Devastator (his parts were taken, by the way, to fix Megatron, making it seem to me like he would be incompletely built...). And about the Constructicon named Rampage (the crab-shaped front-load shovel Decepticon), his color is constantly changing througout the movie. When he's in vehicle mode: yellow (the color it should be), yet when he's bringing Megatorn back to life, orange. He's later seen forming Devastator's leg: yellow, and during the time that Devastator is attacking and Rampage is attacking Bumblebee, he is, again, reddish-orange.
To those who saw the movie and were probably wondering what I was: Why is Blackout (the MH-53 Pavelow helicopter) in this movie?? Well, I have the answer. He wasn't. That Pavelow that appeared was in fact a Decepticon named "Grindor". Grindor was in fact, Blackout's body, reanimated with a different Spark by Skorponok somehow. The reason he's green: Well, if you were made of metal and were laying at the bottom of the ocean for 2 years, how do you think you'd look?
Throughout the movie, Alex was asking me about those Primes if they were Decepticons or if they the Fallen. Well, if you listen to Jetfire, he says that the Fallen used to be a Prime, and thus was the same species as the others, however, the defected. That's why they look so similar, they were the original 7 Transformers.
And more confusion! Jetfire announces t hat his father was the first wheel, but he didn't transform into anything, yet he did so with "honor, diginity!... *gas explosion*". Yeah, figure that one out.
The movie, in itself, was brutal, massive and very good. It had good CGI effects, we get to see the Nemesis, and several Transformers many wanted to see in the past. Soundwave appeared, and although he was missing his voice changer (the thing that made him sound all robot-y), he was still pretty kickass, despite not having any action (only thing he did was hack a military satelite and stay in a very awkward position on that satelite for the rest of the movie, and release Ravage in the form of a missile.
I give this movie a 9.8 out of 10. I only give it a little off because of it's... well, it's hard to explain, it just seemed to be missing something...
Anyways, thanks for reading!

AE (Anime Evolution) 2009 Day 1
While waiting for my cousin and her boyfriend to get their cosplay armor on for Day 2, I am here at my Aunt's house telling you about day 1.
Yesterday, I went to the convention centre (my first con EVER) and I was dressed as a (really crappy) Edward Elric from FullMetal Alchemist. Being Ed, I got some comments that all started in the word `Shorty`. It was funny, actually. First time was by 2 Organization XIII members, whom I glared at (we met them again, to where they cowered and said `You`re not that short!`) then I encounted an L and someone else, while I was waiting in line to see a voice actor. I was bored, so I threw my bag (which contained my iPod, headphones, multiple booklets and phamplets, camera and a water bottle) at him. He then pushed me down with his foot, I did a bit of an anime fall (not practiced, but effective) then jumped up and treatened him with my gheto automail arm. He freaked and hid behind the fairy chick he was with. We saw him again outside of the centre on the way to get dinner, he called me shorty and I ran after him and he hid behind the same chick, screaming. Silly L. I also encountered 2 sort of fat chicks, who were the only ones who glomped me. First glomps ever! It was pretty cool, actually and if the glompling game is going on on day 3, I might actually join. Nontheless, it was fun, and they say today is going to be even better. Hooray!
Today, I am dressed as Light Yagami. I got my cousin`s boyfriend (or should I say fiance) to straighten my hair. It looks more like Light from the movie then it does with the anime, but whatever. I also have my ghetto Death Note with me. My suit, made up of a brown dress shirt (dark with light vertical stripes) and brown dress pants (light) bought at two different thrift shops. Oh well, I`ll be Ed again tomorrow and hopefully more people will know me.
That`s it for now, so I`ll blog about day 2 later. C`ya guys!

Weird Day/\Awesomeness
Okay, so I'm blogging from Alex's house right now, because we had early release at school today, so I managed to convince my mom to let me stay after school to hang around downtown. So far, I've got to ride in the back of Alex's bike trailer (which is totally pwnsome), Went to Mohammad's house and got to pet CHICKENS! (I filmed it so I can put it on YouTube) and also, we were riding ont he sidewalk, and this happened:
*rides by with Alex singing On the Road Again*
There's a bike lane!
*ignores* What'd he say?
That there's a bike lane.
Oh. *rides through muddy water*
*comes up* Did you hear me? I said there's a FUCKING bike lane!
What?
I said there's a fucking bike lane!
Who the fuck cares?

Sad Face :'(
Hello everyone...
It's been a while...
Anyways, things have not been doing so good lately... especially since last night... that came back today to haunt me...
Here's what happened:
Basically, I told Taylor I was going to give Paige a second chance... well, Taylor doesn't like Paige all that much (online relationships, Paige left me twice for guys she actually knew and Taylor didn't like that). So in any case, Taylor got mad when I told her about it, and kinda went off and left. That was last night. Today she came in and we talked for a bit and she apologized, but last night, she was going to tell me something, and I kept bugging her, asking her "What?" and finally she told me that she loved me... like, not like the whole "brother-sister, father-daughter" thing we have going on, but like, she LOVED me...
Well, she just came back and told me that she was sorry and that she was going through trouble and I worked with her... it's what I do... *sighed* Oi vey, life, you know? Better, the life of a TEENAGER.

Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen
Well, as you can see, I re-did my page's layout (sort of). I was inspired because of the shadows (Makuta, lulz) but also because of T:RotF!! I can't wait to see that movie. The first one was great, this one will be amazing! I mean, it's got more robots (THANK GOD!) as well as more face-shots. I'm kind of disappointed that Megatron's back (even more disappointed that they didn't re-name his Galvatron) but oh well. I really, really want to see Soundwave, now. I hope his robot form has SOMETHING to do with a music device. I think he turns into a satellite/plane/rocket ship thing and Ravage (the lion thing at the top of my page) is launched from him in the form of a missile. Although the characters are drastically changing from their G1 form, they are also being "recycled" like Superman and Batman, giving you new things snad changing osme of the original stuff, so it's okay. Apparently Bryce is going to take me and 3 other friends to go see it, so that'll be sweet. Maybe just the band should go? :\ I don't know. All I know is that this is gonna kick ass. The Fallen looks like a cool character, too, by the way. XD
Found Poem, "This Weeks Weather"
This is my found poem, I wrote it today. It is also called a "Cut and Paste" poem. Basically, you go through magazines or newspapers, looking for words or phrases to make a poem. Mine actually made sense instead of some jibber jabber. Here it is.
Mostly breezy
Maybe strong
Partly cloudy
A closer look
Slight chance of showers
Issued Tuesday
Partly sunny
It's just unbelievable
Showers likely
A dog under a palm tree
Rain developing late
It was good enough
Temperature brands are high for the day
The county made a mistake
Don't forget to include your mom's name
The reason I did that last line was because I needed 15 lines and only needed to write one last thing, so I did. and I got all of that off of ONE newspaper page. I'm just awesome like that.

Pantum Poem- "Hobos Rule"
This is a poem I wrote for my English class. It's in Pantum format, meaning that each line is repeated once in the poem. You will see. Please enjoy. It's about hobos.
They kicked me out
They left me for dead
Nobody reads my desperately pleading sign
My shoes don't match
They left me for dead
I sleep in the mud
My shoes don't match
I've stolen 3 shopping carts in the past week
I sleep in the mud
I eat your moldy cheese
I've stolen 3 shopping carts in the past week
I just soiled my pants again
I eat your moldy cheese
Nobody reads my desperately pleading sign
I just soiled my pants again
They kicked me out
That's it. ^^
I hope you enjoyed. XD
This was based off of all my encounters with hobos. I would've written more, but we were only supposed to do 16 lines (8, each one repeated).

Mr. Rogers' Cuddle Bunker
It's where all the Muffins live. For those of you who don't know what that means, I shall give a brief explanation of the names of the current Muffins and how it got started:
History-
I was on xat and I decided to make up a nickname for Near. I came up with "Chunk Muffin". I don't know, I thought it was cute. So I made a MySpace page. Yes, I made a MySpace page. I had to come up with a URL and I was typing in stuff that was already taken (sadly) so I was trying to find one and I came up with "Chipper Muffin" so my URL was myspace.com/chippermuffin94. After that, I was talking with Taylor and I called her Bunny Muffin. After that, I made the decision to give my closest friends the title of Muffins. Here are the ones we have so far:
Names-
Rachel V.: Chunk Muffin
Taylor A.: Bunny Muffin
Jeremy W.: Chipper Muffin
Bryce H.: Fluff Muffin
Luke F.: Draco Muffin
Alex "Muhammad": Fuzz Muffin
Colin W.: Midget Muffin
Tyler R.: Spaghetti Muffin
Dominic F.: Nappy Muffin
Those are the Muffins. They live in the Cuddle Bunker. We are here. We are waiting.
Give your soul to me
For eternity
Release your life
To begin another time with her
End your grief with me
There's another way
Release your life
Take you place inside the fire with her!

Movie review: Watchmen
Well, since I'm sick and staying home, I might as well write this movie review. On Sunday, me and Alex went to go see Watchmen. This is a brief summary and my thoughts on the movie.
WARNING: SPOILERS BELOW - DON'T WANNA KNOW? DON'T READ!!
Set during the Cold War in NYC, all costumed "superheroes" have been outlawed. Only one remains, a vigilante by the name or Rorshach. After the murder of retired hero named the Comedian, Rorshach begins to suspect someone is trying to kill all the heroes. Meanwhile, Dr. Manhattan is being framed for crimes that he never committed, and is accused of giving people he has had too much contact with, cancer. Rorshach goes to his old partner, Nite Owl and tells him his theory. However, Nite Owl dismisses it, calling Rorshach paranoid. After an attempt on "the smartest man in the world", who is another ex-hero, Rorshach says he knows he's not crazy. Dr. Manhattan leaves Earth after having trouble with the pres and teleports to Mars. There, he spends a bunch of his time in solitude. The Doomsday Clock is moved up due to increasing threat of Russia's nuclear attacks. After suiting up, Rorshach, Nite Owl and Silk Spectre begin to investigate. Rorshach is taken to prison where he is busted out and they travel to Antarctica finding that the ex-hero who was supposedly "attacked" is the one picking off heroes in an attempt to stop the nukes. After he succeeds, Rorshach goes to reveal the plot to frame Dr. Manhattan, but the good doctor shows up, saying that this is for the better good and vaporizes Rorshach.
This movie was very good. It is definitely worth the price to get in. It is rated R for a good reason. Sexual content, language, rape, and strong action violence are just some examples. There is a lot of blood flying. You can expect a lot since it came from the same guy who made 300. It has a lot of the same effects from the mentioned movie, however, it gives it a better feel. This movie was considered "un-filmable" but when it was filmed, it turned out very good. It is very dark, full of romance, anger and villainy. Fans of the original comic will be overly delighted to see the movie. i give this movie a 12/5 and each of Disturbed's Ten Thousand Fists will have their thumbs up. This movie is very good. I suggest you see it.
WARNING: SPOILERS BELOW - DON'T WANNA KNOW? DON'T READ!!
Set during the Cold War in NYC, all costumed "superheroes" have been outlawed. Only one remains, a vigilante by the name or Rorshach. After the murder of retired hero named the Comedian, Rorshach begins to suspect someone is trying to kill all the heroes. Meanwhile, Dr. Manhattan is being framed for crimes that he never committed, and is accused of giving people he has had too much contact with, cancer. Rorshach goes to his old partner, Nite Owl and tells him his theory. However, Nite Owl dismisses it, calling Rorshach paranoid. After an attempt on "the smartest man in the world", who is another ex-hero, Rorshach says he knows he's not crazy. Dr. Manhattan leaves Earth after having trouble with the pres and teleports to Mars. There, he spends a bunch of his time in solitude.

Lawton's...Birthday...Party... O.O xD
Best... weekend... ever...
Below is a prank call conversation we had today when we were bored. We called a bike shop. The owner's name has been changed to avoid security reasons.
Red: Me
Green: Tim
Blue: Alex
Hello?
Hi, is Tim there?
Yeah, this is him.
Hi Tim!
Hello...
Hi!...
Who's this?
A person... who is... calling you... o.o
Yeah.
Yep...
How can I help you?
I wanna be your friend.
Really?
Yes sir!
Who is this?
The awesome-est person in the world who wants to be your best friend.
Yeah?
Mm-hmm.
*takes the phone* Hey...
Yeah?
What are you wearing?
What?
What are you wearing?
Some underwear... like... boxers...
*hangs up*
Well... yeah, that's what happened. After a few more random prank calls to random people we don't know (and Ricco) there was a lot of random-ness, including rolling people around in a barrel, me destroying the barrel and yeah... well, after most everyone was gone, we decided to mess around with the baseball team at our school across the street. We were dancing to the Scat Man and it was funny. Then Bryce got an idea. Dance on the side of the road for the people to my music. so we did. And we got sodas. We danced some more, then we added some more people, and my camera, then we had a brilliant idea. So we made a huge sign, with 3-D letters, and the sign read "HONK IF U THINK WE NEED A LIFE" and we got A LOT of honks, and it was sooooo funny. You would not believe how funny it was. We got a lot of reactions, and it was just so great. We were like, climbing up a tree, humping the tree, Lawton was pretending to play his bass, Bryce wanted to break-dance SO bad, and it was just hilarious. ;D
Well, that's it for now. Fuck the quote, the prank call is your quote. XD

Really Bad Day... v.v
Well, a few days ago, I was having some strange symptoms... my throat hurt a bit, as did my stomach and a headache, as well as loss of balance. The next day, it got worse. This morning, i woke up and it was really bad. Just a few minutes ago, my momc alled the doctor to see what was wrong and they said I may have strep throat... first time I've had it since I can remember. I stayed home from school today, and probably will tmorrow... God, this headache of mine hurts like fuck... T_T (Sorry for the potty mouth word, Aki-chan. ._.)
So, yeah. ._.
Cloak: Can you believe it, John?
I belive in America!
My childhood is being raped in front of my very eyes! And by eskimos no less... with their cold, feely hands...
So, yeah. ._.

Canada
Yeah... not much to say. I went up to Canda for my birthday yesterday. For the most part, it was boring. For a few hours, I was downstairs listning to my music, then I went upstairs, and played Super Smash Bros. on my cousin's GameCube for a few hours, played with my younger cousin, ate dinner, played some more, had cake, played some more, let him play 1 Player mode, got my cards and then played a little more, then left...t hat's about it. What I got:
$22 Canadian (From Ginny and Kerry)
$20 Canadian (From Mike and Shauna)
$10 USD (From Grandpa)
3 polo shirts (From Tina)
I'm going to be using the Canadian money to buy things or something during AE this summer up in Canada, since once that money crosses the border back to the U.S., it loses some value. Sadly. And that's it... yep... also, the dance video failed to upload. *sniffles* DAMMIT! DX Well, the world will never see our dance, apparently. v.v
"Soon, we Skrall will shed our skins like the Sand Dragons and be revealed for what we truly are. Warriors. Conquerers! And soon, Bara Magna shall fall!"

Well... stuff... bleh. xP
Yeah, well I'll start with yesterday's news.
Sunday, February 21st, 2009:
Band practice. We got a new band member. He's an 8th grader, but he's a kickass guitarist. He has a gigantic amp, a nice guitar (with a whammy bar ;D), plus an awesome distortion pedal, Wa-wa pedal and a bunch of other awesome equipment that make him sound awesome. He's a grat guitarist, really experienced and has long woman hair. TIMOTEI! Lol, inside joke. ._. Anyways, so we worked on Bleeding Shadows (the song that originally named Prius) and tried adding lyrics, however, the microphone was being a piece of crap and was giving us a lot of feedback for no reason (the mic was as far away from all the speakers/amps as possible) and up on my new microphone stand, so it should've been fine. Then the speakers blew out and Bryce fixed them and the mic worked fine after that, but past th at point we did not work ont he song. However, with the new guy (I think his name is Oden, or Odon or something. Pronounced "Oh-DEN", you figure it out.) with his practice, we got him and Kyle to play the riffs, and it actually sounded great, if you could hear Kyle, then Oden, it sounded grat (two different tones thanks to the heavy distortion). Lawton got electrocuted. The idiot grabbed onto the neck of his bass, wanted the new guy to stop playing so he placed his hand on the guitar neck and ZAP! All I know is that I was trying to figure out what was wrong with the mic, the guitar suddenly stopped, there was a lot of yelling and I turned around almost to be crushed by a fatass (my arm got hit with the bass). But it went pretty well, though I don't think Oden likes me too much and may be trying to replace me as lead singer. Also, we played "Smells Like Teen Spirit" (Oden sang).
Today's news:
Not much. Not really oober excited about my birthday on Wednesday, but oh well. I'm getting all the Disturbed CD's and a speaker system from Alex tomorrow, and it's going to be pretty cool. And in German, on my birthday, me and Nate are going to dance and boogey-oogey-oogey 'till we just can't boogey no moooooore!(Boogey)Boogey no moooore, booogeh, bay-beh! ;D
Anyways... yeah, that's about it, so closing note time!

Take a look around, things are not what you say
We're living in a violent society

OH. MY. GOD. NOW WE SO HAPPY WE DO THE DANCE OF JOY!!!!
That's how I feel right now~~ XD
Okay, well, last night... Hybrid (and Colin) stayed over at Bryce's house... all night... OH MY GOD! XDDDD It was incredible. First thing's first, band practice (which kicked ass, like always) followed by... everything... the most random conversations, Halo-playing, game-failing, video-taping, random-ness to ever happen to the universe... except Nick (inside joke).
I can't even explain it, it was just... oh my God. *he fell over laughing* The babies... Nick... Ben... the evil attic... the XBox... you would not believe the time we had... and I didn't think this was possible but I went a whole 2 days without a computer! Yaaaaaaay!
Anyways, since I'm too lazy (and bored) to write everything that happened, you'll just have to figure it out... tee hee.
How could you?
How could you?
How could you?
How could you hate me?
When all I ever wanted to be was you?
How could you?
How could you?
How could you love me?
When all you ever gave me were open wounds?

31 January 2009
Pretty kickazz-ness.
Okay, well, let's begin, since I have a lot to talk about.
On Wednesday, the first day of Fianls at BHS, we all had 30 minutes extra before school, a 30 minute break instead of a 15 minute one, and an hour lunch, and only one lunch period, so I got to hang out with my friends for almost two extra hours. On Wednesday, however, at Lunch, Lory, Bryce and I ditched everyone else and ran over to DQ (everyone usually ditches Bryce and Lory, and I usually can't go anywhere, so it was a treat for all three of us). We had Blizzards and shiz, and it was good.
Thursday: Second and last day of Finals (two days, yaaaaaay!), same schedule. We played random games and whatnot before school, like football with a shoe. Plus, it was all recorded cause I brought my camera. It was a pretty random day. We all decided to go (everyone in our group) to the family owned, Italian pizza place downtown called Chiccetis(sp?). It was really awesome, because we got two 2 Litre bottles of soda and a whole pizza (there were 9 of us, but Paul had his own lunch, so everyone got one slice). It was pretty good. Brycec and I. being the only ones with money, split the deal. I recorded the walk home, but Bryce wanted it taken down since technically he's not allowed off-campus. If you want (and Bryce has to approve of this) I can post it here, however. I posted all 6 of the other videos, however. You can check them out at my Youtube page, youtube.com/user/Vezonmasta
Then, I went home to do a few things and then went over to Bryce's house, and we played Guitar Hero: World Tour, and we all had our positions (Bryce on drums, Kyle on guitar, me on the mic) and it went pretty well. For the first time that I got to sing on a Guitar Hero or RockBand style game (I've only played GH3), I did pretty good (but then again, it WAS on beginner). My lowest score was like 89% and my highest was 99%.
Friday: No school, yay! But, I got some good news... *drum roll**more drum roll**annoyingly long drum roll**drum solo* I GOT THE REST OF THE BIOINICLE GLATORIAN AND AGORI SETS! WHOOOOO-HOOOOOO!!! (Glad I didn't decide to grab either Fero & Skirmix or Tuma XD).
Saturday: It is Saturday todday! Yaaay. My family might be coming down from Canda, but my "Expectancy for Family to Visit" meter is currently reading "Don't bet your life on it, idiot."
Sunday: Aah, yes, tomorrow, Super Bowl Sunday... I'll either be watching that 17 hours of House marathon on USA or be at Bryce's house all day for band practice. xP Whichever one suits me better.
Okay, well, also, I'm planning a birthday party for myself on the Saturday of the same week as my birthday (which this year is on a Wednesday)! I'm thinking of bringing... Lory and his cello, Bryce, Nick (OMG, NICK!), Kyle and his guitar & amp, Lawton with HIS bass & amp, Colin (maybe), Tyler (maybe), and maybe my family... I also want a tailgate party in my back yard. But I doubt that'll happen. Also, my mom is literally asking me to do the impossible for the birthday party, so that means I'll be a miserable 15-year-old boy. <.<
My life suffocates
Planting seeds of hate
I've loved, turned to hate
Trapped far beyond my fate!
I give, you take
This life that I forsake
Been cheated of my youth
You turned this lie to truth!
Anger
Misery
You'll suffer unto me!
Harvester of Sorrow!
(Language of the mad)
Harvester of Sorrow!
Pure black, looking clear
My work is done soon here
Try getting back to me
Get back which used to be!
Drink up
Shoot in
Let the beatings begin
Distributor of pain
Your loss becomes my gain!
Anger
Misery
You'll suffer unto me
Harvester of Sorrow!
(Language of the mad)
Harvester of Sorrow!
All have said their prayers
Invade their nightmare
To see into my eyes
You'll find where murder lies
Infacticide
Harvester of Sorrow!

Kinda happy faaaace...
Two good things happened today, and one of them was kinda bad. The first being that I found out how to do voice-overs on Windows Movie Maker. Because of this, I MSN video called my friend (we'll call him Lory, cause I know he'll see this) and recorded it, so you could here us. In fact, I'll attach it. It turned out pretty awesome (and random!).The other thing, was that I don't have to go to school for half the day tomorrow and watch a baby for the other half any more! Why? I caught a cold! xD
That's one of the luckiest breaks I've ever had. o.o
Well, I guess I should post a picture of what I look like for all you stalkers out there. <.<
Well... that's about it... sooo, closing time.

Mm, not so pwning day, sadly
Okay, yesterday wasn't all that great... I mean, I went onto xat, right? And I started talking to Aki-chan and we kind of got into this thing... and, well... it didn't go so well. I tried explaining the real me to her and she began going on about if people don't like who I really am, then screw them, but nobody wants to be with the real me. Dark, decisive, cunning, shady, manipulative, I guess you could fit "murderous" in there as well. She was talking about religion, and beliefs being the few things that keep her going and I quoted Tyler on this "Show me proof of God and I'll show you the flying spaghetti monster.". That's how I felt... and it all started cause I was explaining she's never heard what I exactly sound like when I sing, and she said she loved my singing voice, but you can't judge what you've never seen or heard. Sadly, the argument ended abruptly and she left... I know she has a blog and chances are she'll see this before I see her, so if she does... I'm sorry... I'm really, really sorry... I got out of control with it, and now I feel like I've done something horrible... so... please, if you can, forgive me... It may not seem like much, but to me, it is... it's serious... I'm sorry.
Next, yesterday, I was basicaly starved from dinner. I had like, no food until about 8 o' clock at night. See, my mom made leftovers... I hate leftovers. So I had to find something else. Ramen and potstickers took too long to make, I didn't want canned stuff like Chef Boyardee or whatever, and I didn't want less-than filling food like waffles or cereal. So... I was left blank. Every time I try to make eggs I FAIL! After a while, my mom after to make me some, which she did and I ate them and was still hungry but there wasn't enough time to get anything else after explaining to Near what had happened between me and Aki, doing the same to GinGin and arguing with Aki and watching EddsWorld, there wasn't any other time... so I failed to eat more food and as I type this from my school library, having eaten one bowl of Frosted Flakes I only have on thing to say:
"I AM HUNGRY!"
Now, to close, I'm going to try something a little different. I'm going to close with a nice quote:
"A corpse bleeds at the sight of the murderer."

OMG PWNING DAY!!!!!!
Today was so pwnsome.
Okay, first Hybrid got together. We debated on changing the name of our song "Prius". Kyle said we needed to set the theme before doing a title, however, Lawton, who originally wrote it, is the only one who knows what it sounded like, and he didn't have a whole lot of that at all. So, after getting some guitar in there and much deliberation, we re-named it "Bleeding Shadow" (Bryce was subliminally thinking about this blog). We got one line of lyrics down for it, but it's hard to practice, especially since the drums and bass are drowning out Kyle's guitar. We finally got me a microphone, and we put it in a good place, though the speaker/amp it's hooked up to doesn't go very loud with that thing. But it worked. But, we got the opening and the bridge down. The guitar is mostly a combination of Metallica rifts with a few twists to them to make them really awesome. It needs more work, but it's doing way better in the 4 times we've gotten together, vs. Lawton's other band, which has been together for a while (named "Lightly Toxic"), we pwn their noob asses!
After a lot of practicing, we tried watching an Ozzfest DVD but quickly got bored and went outside with some arisoft guns to go all U.S. Army in the wide spread of woods on the mountain on which Bryce lives. We were going in pretty deep (XD), and when se wtopped at the top of a rise we climbed to rest and for Kyle to take a piss, we heard gunshots. But we didn't pay much attention... we started getting worried when they came closer. So we kept going deeper... I know, we're idiots, but we were bored and had about half an hour to get back, so we kept going. Soon after, Bryce saw a silver flicker, which may have been, in fact, a muzzle flash from the rifle we heard. Now, armed with two BB guns and an airsoft pistol with 10 rounds, and what Bryce and I believed may have been a psychotic mass murderer or something, the odds seemed against us. After a long trek through the forest and around the mountain, we finally arrived at his house. I didn't know it was his house, though. There was an icey wooden staircase we started going up, and I kept asking "Who the hell's house is this?" and he never answered. Then we went around and I found out where we were. Then my mom picked me up and took me home.
Now, for the less-important stuff:
While over at Bryce's house, we went chat-hopping on xat and caused mayhem, then we found Melz and gave her a bunch of crap. I tried running on a treadmill and failed (it wasn't even turned on DX). We saw Bryce's older sister and... wow... ._.
That's about it, so time to end it!
Chuck Norris?
Chuck: Yes?
Are you aware that you could kill someone with a single look?
Chuck: Really? *turns to look at the crowd*

Videos, boredom, sadness, hunger and stuff o:
Today was... BORING! I mean, honestly, damn, there was NOTHING to DO. I watched most of the "Dark Knight" again. I went to Fred Meyers today looking for the Glatorian and what did I find? NOT EVEN A SHELF SPACE FOR THEM ! D:< That made meh sad. T-T
I made two videos today, both slideshows with Windows Movie Maker. The first one was meant for Youtube and it was a Disturbed lyrics video to the song "Stupify". However, due to liscencing reasons (which REALLY pissed me off) it was banned from the site. Then I made a video of pictures taken from around my family at Christmas-time when we got together. Unfortunately, when I went to send it to my family-like contacts for them to forward to others that I don't have, MSN wouldn't take the damned file. WTF?
I've been hungry all damn day. Yep...
Well, time to close with my Chuck Norris line-
Chuck Norris: Ladies, I only have one question for you... *to the tune of Do Your Ears Hang Low* DO YO BOOBS HANG LOW, TO DEY WOBBLE TO DA FLOW?

Woot, second post!
Okay, well I promised myself I would make a post every day or at least twice a week, so here's my second post of the week! Lol.
Today was pretty amazing. There was only one lunch period today and it was 45 minutes long. So after about 20 minutes of standing in line waiting to get my lunch (I never knew pasta day was so popular!) I was trying to figure out where the guys went when they went outside. Bryce came up and told me they were at Lawton's dad's place (which is right across the street, literally) so I brought my lunch over there to eat. There was a demon box and I kept screaming like a little girl when it moved until I found out Colin and Tyler were inside it.
Later, when we were walking back to school, we were throwing my luch tray all over the parking lot and and across the road and crap and Bryce wanted to see how far he could throw it. He threw it like a frisby and it went somewhere into the baseball diamond and we all ran for our lives.
Bryce wore his purple fuzzily pimp hat today, so it was pwnsome.
We had an MLK assembly today, and it was pretty awesome. Before the assembly, I got to my 6th period class (3rd class of the day) and tried to give Atkins a cheese stick and a tooth brush. It was awesome. I got them from Bryce and Luke, and when I was walking around the corner on my way up to the third floor I ran into two juniors or seniors or some other fun-sized upper classmen, and they just stared at me and were like "Ooookay, creepy kid with a tooth brush." and I just giggled like a maniac then went back up to the third floor. When Atkins didn't take the stuff I was like "FOOLISH!" and put the stuff on his desk.
The band is getting together on Sunday, and we're thinking of staying over. Lawton is bringing over like a 50-pack of Monsters, and I was like "Dude, if you give me one of those, and try to stay up till 4:30... well let's just say you won't be alive that long if I have a Monster."
Chuck Norris: I'MMA FIRIN' MAH LAZA! BLAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!

Only the Beginning
Well, this is my first blog ever!... Well except for that time in science, but that didn't count! Everyone had a screen name and we were debating about... I can't remember... ._. I think Baby Jacob came up every once in a while, but that's not important. Yeah, Aki-chan thought I should get one and I did cause I think it'll be awesum-possum. ;D
Omigosh, it was soooo funny today! Like... the guy who sits at my science table had an iPod video, and he was watching Family Guy when SSR started and Balsiger was like "David, put that away, no Family guy now. A little baby sucking on his father's nipple thinking it's his mother is horribly messed up humor." and David was all like "So you're saying you don't like Family Guy?" and Balsiger was like "No, I love Family Guy, as I said, messed up humor, but you can't watch it now. I'll watch it with you later, all right?" and David was just like "Kk!"
Oh, and today, at lunch, we were going to go to Lawton's dad's place, and like, there were all these seniors and juniors driving out for lunch, and we were on the side of the road waiting to cross, and we saw this dude in a beat up ol' Chevy driving at 50 mph, and Lawton was like "That's me driving!" and then when the guy drove by us, he rolled down his window and was like "YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE-HAAAAWW!" and Lawton said "Yeah, that's me too."
I'm Chuck Norris and I approved this- *the real Chuck Norris, who is now black, roundhouse kicks his way in and kills Tobi*
Chuck Norris: I'M RICH, BITCH!
