I'm Outta Here!

I will pretty much no longer be using this site AT ALL, with perhaps the small exception of a review or blog post. One of my problems may be due to the people in my friends list. I don't feel as though I've ever had a proper friendship with any of them, at least none that actually use their accounts anymore. In the past I've added people as friends, then when I send PMs to them, asking them questions, they never even reply. Seriously, what is the point of even adding someone if they refuse to talk to you?

Also, my opinions on things have matured greatly ever since I've been gone, as have my tastes. When I feel like it, I will eventually get around to deleting a majority of my blog entries. A lot of them differ from my current opinions and interests, whilst some others are just plain pointless.

If for what ever reason you want to PM me about something, feel free. However, don't expect a quick reply. You may have to wait for up to three months, or more.

A Funny Short Story from English

An intro to a story. I might replace The Legend of Curtis with this:

I could not believe I was at Barry's house. Him discovering my secret identity was the least of my worries. When my girlfriend Mary Lame Shatson found out what had happened, Supper Pan vs. The Uneatable Bulk II would break out. This had all started a week ago on a seemingly innocent trip to a Science Lab. There was a nuclear explosion. Luckily I survived and became the Amazing Man-Spider......

A Man Named Han

There once was a man named Han,

Who swallowed a bucket of jam,

It got stuck in his throat,

In his old petty coat,

And into his frying pan,

The jam it got sticky,

All gloppy and icky, 

It fell over the dog's head,

The dog it was dying,

The pan it was frying,

Han would never have jam AGAIN!!!

The Legend of Curtis part 4: Episode 1. The Prison of the Fairies

"Time for a blog update. Today I recieved the Mario Paint cartridge I bought. I haven't played it y... Hey, what's this crap?" said Nile as his typing was interrupted. "It says here that my internet connection has been blocked by the Zora rebellion. They say I've got to wait every few minutes before posting." Nile threw the mouse in his anger. "Damn these video game characters!! Why can't they just leave me alone?"

Meanwhile in a broken down building, Samondorf was laughing hysterically. "Of course I'm Samuel Lewis," he said. "Don't you recognize me?"

"Well not really, considering the fact that you now have red hair and darker skin," replied Curtis.

"Well hero? Aren't you going to fight me," laughed Samondorf. "Even if you can defeat me it'll still be pointless. I have over 25 fairies imprisoned in this bottle." Samondorf held out the bottle. Big mistake. Using Silly Duck's beak, Curtis slashed at the bottle. It broke. This was bad for Samondorf but at the same time it was bad for Curtis. As the fairies made their way to freedom they flew past Curtis. Giving off loads of energy. Unfortunately for Curtis it was too much energy. It hurt him. It even disabled his body for the next few minutes. After what had just happened Samondorf was mad. He took this moment as a chance to attack Curtis. "NOW I'M MAD!!!," the angry sorceror screamed. "PK FIRE!!" The magical blow made Curtis' damaged body vibrate. Ganondorf giggled at the sight.

Curtis managed to say a few words. "Grunt. Don't worry about me. I'll be okay. Worry about yourself. 

"Okay boss," said Grunt as he flew into a pipe. Whilst in there he couldn't help but worry about his master. "Save both our hides I must."

Meanwhile Samondorf was sitting down. "I can't go into the pipes or be bothered to deal with this one. I'll just let my servants sort out these two."

In Episode 2: New characters!! Grunt's journey!!! The final battle between Curtis and Dead Link!!!!

The Legend of Curtis part 3: Annoyance from the Undead

Curtis and Grunt are out on the streets. "My senses indicate there in he," says Grunt. There is a big ladder in front of the building that they could climb on. All of a sudden something begins to appear before their eyes. It is Dead Link!!

"So now you choose to fight me!," shouts Curtis. "Great timing too."

"No. Now's not the time," laughs Dead Link with an ever so smug smile on his face. "I just like to harass you." Dead Link whacks Curtis violently on his head. He starts to lose his grip and fall. He has to grab hold of the ladder soon or he will fall on his head and die.

"Boss!!," shouts Grunt. While all Dead Link does is cackle and grin. Curtis trys to grab hold of the ladder. But it just causes bruises to appear on his arm as they bash against it. He remembers Silly Duck. Although it is chewed up it has a large beak. He then had an idea.

He is now hanging on the ladder. Tightly holding Silly Duck. He puts one hand on the ladder and uses Silly Duck's beak to help him climb. Dead Link decides that it is time to disappear. "Until next time!!" After that night it seems that "next time" might not be far away.

Curtis carrys on climbing while Grunt flies beside him. Eventually they make it to the top. The window is open so they hop on in. They notice a table stacked with bottles of fairies, like a prison. A figure stands before them.

"I knew you two were going to come. I sensed it!!" The figure is definately Samondorf. He looks a lot like Link's old enemy. But he has a very familiar face.

"I know you!" says Curtis. "You're Samuel James Lawrey!"

Next time on The Legend of Curtis: Grunt's time to shine. Prison of the Fairies!!

American Idiot

Wow, what is the big deal? A mediocre pop punk band who were already overrated in the first place become a bunch of emos and gain millions of new fans due to doing this?? As you can see from the rating I gave this album I'm not one of them. The fact that some critics even hail this album as a modern masterpiece is just astounding. It's a bunch of whiney ballads and ironic punk songs, for Pete's sake!! If people think that this album is good then the world is quite clearly coming to an end. And yes, perhaps the album isn't quite as bad as I make it out to be but with all the people out there who worship Green Day for it the album instantly loses a star.

Album Review

Conspiracy of One The Offspring
""
A bit of an improvement over "Americana" in my opinion. In no way am I saying it's that different. It's still a pop punk release that's aimed at the mainstream. However, unlike "Americana", which just sometimes sounded plain and even artificial in some areas, they have improved on their sound with "Conspiracy". Even "Want You Bad", which is perhaps the most mainstream song the band have ever done, sounds pretty swell. "Original Prankster" is also an improvement over "Pretty Fly" as there just seems to be more energy within the song. The first actual song, "Come Out Swinging", is an solid and energetic track. Other tracks like this off of this album include "Living in Chaos" and "Special Deliver". "Denial, Revisited" is perhaps the most moving song by The Offspring with the exception of "Gone Away". "One Fine Day" is also a treat. However the stand out track is without doubt "Million Miles Away". Anyway, a bit of a comeback. Hopefully the band made a good follow up with their "Splinter" album, which I haven't heard.

Who's Next The Who
""
Who's Next is perhaps The Who's most well known album. It is certainly a classic with the rock 'n' roll gems "Baba O'Riley" and "Won't Get Fooled Again" as well as the sorrowful yet angry "Behind Blue Eyes" and fan favourite "Going Mobile". My words of advice would be to find a relatively cheap copy, buy it, and then sit back and enjoy the music.

Smash The Offspring
""
This album basically surprised every in 1994. It was done on an independent label yet some of the singles became hits. It has perhaps become the best-selling independent album and has sold a few million copies. If you are a new to The Offspring then this is probably the best one to start with. "Self Esteem", a song which shows the band's influence from grunge music, is the easiest song to get into, but the rest will soon follow.

This is perhaps the first great album by The Offspring. "Dirty Magic" is fantastic!! To all those who dismiss the first two Offspring albums completely and consider Smash to be their debut I pity you. You're really missing out.
