-lol. I can't imagine fang-boy playing this green alien. Piccolo is a unick, right?
-I'm not having a very good week. I hope the next one is better.

I don't know how many people remember 2 years ago. Most of you probably do.
Anyway, I was editor for some TV shows, but I wanted to get my first person editorship. Nine Inch Nails. I wanted that one so badly, because it's my favorite band. I had 36 points, but then.. let's just say "unpleasantness" happened at my house. Violence and what-not. Yelling, fighting, the usual. Add to the fact that I was working 50 hours in a sweaty grease-trap, it took me 4 days to get to a computer.
And low and behold; while I was busy dealing with life, somebody dropped out of the sky, 0-60 points, and took the NIN. So naturally I was ticked off. Not only that; this person moderated 200 People! I sent this editorship-miracle-worker a message: "Hey dude! I wanted NIN! I was so close!" Anyway, it turned out this "dude" was actually a lady, and a really nice person, and also a huge NIN fan. She took my email and disappointment in stride and decided to be my friend, and then she introduced me to KFC and I got another friend.
My life was really screwy, and I wanted something, anything positive I could focus on; I still wanted to get a person editorship. If I couldn't get my favourite band, I'd go after a band nobody wanted: Coldplay. Nobody was rushing for that editorship, so I got the 40 and that was that.
*They're okay, but they're no Nine Inch Nails.
About a year later, this lady got very sick. And passed away. And it's really not good, because there are a lot of horrible people in this world, and she was nice. A mother and a wife, and a really sweet person. I remember the last time I talked to her; I'd just lost a chance at a really good appartment, and she asked what happened. Even though I was a complete stranger, and she was sick, she wanted to know what was wrong. It's not fair and I don't understand.
"We cling to what is gone. Is there anything in this life but grief?"
"There's love. There's hope, for some; there's hope that you'll find something worthy. That your life will lead you to some joy. That after everything, you can still be surprised."
"Is that enough? Is that enough to live on?"
Like most people, I was holding onto stuff from the past, because it helps keep people alive that have passed on. I was being selfish, and I'm sorry.
There Will Be Blood .. Maybe?
-Has anybody seen the movie 'There Will Be Blood'? I've been downloading it for 2 weeks, and it's only half done. I don't even remember why I wanted to watch it. Is it any good?
-I just found this oldie from 1981 called 'The Burning', so I want to watch that tonight. It's like a merging of Ft13th and NoES; a summer camp janitor is set on fire (like Freddy), and comes back to terrorize and murder campers (like Jason). One reviewer said the movie is bloody and merciless.
-888. August 8th 2008 is lucky in Chinese culture. I have decided to pop the question to the first lady I see today*. I don't have a ring, so I will give her a screw instead. See? (takes the screw out of my shirt pocket). Oh wait, this is a bolt. I will give her a bolt instead.
*The day's half over, and the only person I've really seen was a dude in a white labcoat on a bicycle.
Gone Away
(looks around) .. I guess everybody has gone away for the long weekend. It's just me, and the fridge. (Fridges are so noisy.)
Well, summer is pretty much over for me; not that I had any time off. All work and no vacan-i-moon* for me.
*Vacation-honeymoon. It's a smlerging, like Bradiston, or Jesicfleck.
Chillin' out to the tunes of: (randomly picks a song) and (another song).
S*** and other bad words
-Okay, I have had same banner and icon for a while, so I was thinking up an idea* for new stuff. But it has a bad word I don't think the mods will like: s***. And it's not the s*** word you're thinking of; it's the other one.
*It's not really MY idea. Somebody else did it already, but I want to remake the concept into a banner.
Arrested Development fans will know what I'm talking about; George Sr. escaped prison and ran to Mexico, where he was reportedly killed. George escaped to California and with his grandson's help, he hid in the attic of their model home.
His family thinks he's dead, so they have a funeral. Lindsey gets really depressed about her father's death and stops trying to have an affair with a bounty hunter. Maebe wants to get emancipated and needs Lindsey to have that affair, so she dolls up her mother in the bright red S*** shirt for the funeral. It's a very comical situation. ..
What if I used 'Shémale' instead? Oh, and it's pronounced sh-e-mollie.
-I spent the weekend trying to build a portfolio. It didn't go so well. (I remember going to a techno club* and doing the 'What is Love?' dance for 6 hours. That was before any alcohol was consumed.)
*'Me in a techno club' is like 'a cat in a stove'.
-I reset my OS. Again. This is the second time since April. GD computer.
Recent Reviews
If I understand the song (which I probably don't), Rihanna wants sex. Now.
Okay, so the plot's a bit thin; flashy scenes of a sexy dancing chick humping the air for four minutes, a few frames of her friends and some guy. But for the most part the video is focussed on the singer, which is cool because she's pretty hot. Rough Count: Rihanna changes her clothing ~5 times during this video. .. How the hell is she staying in the green dress?; like, the laws of physics demand her cleavage part with her clothing. ... I've seen less friction between a pair of bullets and the end of a shotgun.
uh... the beat of the song is taken from Soft Cell's 'Tainted Love'.*
*This paragraph shows this isn't a completely macho-sexist review of the video, and I'm not writing the review just as an excuse to watch the video. Twice.
"Right now
I'm takin' it.."
Wow dude; not a lot of men would admit to that sort of thing. (Even less people want to hear about it though...)
Where does this guy live though? It sounds like he's fearing for his life, getting sodomized by cops, and spending a lot of time lying on the ground thinking about starting a war. Yet, here he is writing music in between his sessions with Mr. Policeman. It almost makes you wonder if he's exagerrating the truth, but conveying this song as reality... ... hmmmm.... (starts musing)
It's standard 'Bob Marley'ish fare, complete with the required Rastafarian echo effect-
echo effect..
echo effec..
echo eff...
At one point it's very unclear WtH he's saying; even the Inet's lyrics are going 'Huh?'
Not a bad song, I sort of like it. I wouldn't go looking for personal ownership of this song through any channels, but I won't turn it off the radio either.
On a scale of Cher (being 1) and Trent Reznor (being 10), I'd give Ill Scarlet somewhere between Cyndi Lauper, but below Prince.
Okay, I normally can take a random guess at what the song's about, but I'm without clue. Maynard's pretty angry, and I think the target of his anger is on drugs. ... Or is a necromancer.. ... a stoned Necromancer. ........ There's so much abstract metaphors in this song, but I don't think they have much definitive meaning. ie: "Kangaroo hung the jury" ...?
Here, a possible meaning: Some guy got really high and had his way with Maynard. Maynard decides to pretend nothing happened, but can't do that until the guy finishes up. Guy sobers up and wants to know who that chick was, and Maynard gets very angry. He even swears!
I think Guy got some 'lemon juice' in Maynard's eye, before urinating all over Maynard's 'black kettle'. (innuendo? or literal?)
(Starts thrashing) Rock on Tool! Awesome song, eh? (continues thrashing around) (thrashes around somemore) (does a bit more thrashing, just for the sake of the thrash.)
Screw Flanders! Screw Flanders!
And there's a light on ; Heavy glow..."
This song is very awesome. I'm sure as a kid, I probably heard lots of RHCP, but this is their first song I remember. (In those golden summery days, when I was all alone playing video games, and began listening to rock.) Sweet freakin' song!
And, features Anthony Keidis doing an 'out-of-breath' white rap:
"Steak knife. Blood bath. Dope D&&&
followed by white rap on crack:
"Kiss that Dyke but not by the freeway take the street, she needs a little leeway..."
WTH is he talking about? Drugs or pimps I guess. Do I care? No, cuz it's a sweet-&&& song.
The video also features a member of the band getting kidnapped by a crazy Taxi driver and the rest of the band giving chase. I remember one scene where he climbs out the taxi window, with the car going ultrafast, getting on the roof and jumping into a truck. Sweet video, for a great song.
What's the song about? Helal if I know. Probably rebelling against their parents for giving them a curfew of 11.30. Maybe 'red flag' is code for something dirty that happens to a guy.... I dunno. Here's some lyrics:
"The kids of tomorrow don't eat today
When they've eaten yesterday!"
I wasn't really watching the video, so I have no opinion. hmm, well if the video features a literal 'red flag', but doesn't bother to explain it, that's pretty lame. it's probably better if the video has no red flag. Does it?
