There's a hole in the world like a great black pit and the vermin of the world inhabit it

So I got home today, turned on the tv and guess what was on...Sweeney Todd! :D I fuckin' love this movie, one of the best I've seen in a while. So that was all good. And then I had an appointment to get new glasses because I've been wanting to change my look for awhile now. I picked out these Prada frames, and they're $300(!) worth of sweetness. They should be ready in a week or so, then you'll all be amazed. Colin will probably say something to the extent of "You're such a tool" but I don't care because I'm better than him in a lot of ways, so ha!

Speaking of which, has anyone else noticed how pissed off Colin has become lately, especially towards me? I mean, I'm angry that my life isn't perfect either, but I usually keep my anger inside me like a normal person. I dunno, maybe he's finally realizing how much his life sucks. And to that I say, "It's about damn time!"

Well, back to the grind of never ending work. T.G.I.F tomorrow, eh?

Oh, and Sean, I'm afraid you're wrong, mate. This shit is WAY funnier.

I Can Be Hurtful, I Can Be Purple, I Can Be Anything You Like

So the snow is falling at a good pace outside as I type. Hopefully, it will last long enough to get us a delay tomorrow. Fingers crossed! I need all the time I can get to finish the crapload of AP Bio work that is due next week. Why must so much work be placed on our shoulders? I feel like the poor bastards that had to help build Stonehenge by dragging gi-normous stones thousands of miles. Not only that, but my parents are kinda-sorta pissed that I did terrible on a couple of my midterms, but I seriously don't give a shit anymore about what they think. In my opinion midterms are about as enjoyable as being hit by a truck. A large truck. Repeatedly. While someone pours acid on you. Seriously, I need more than a week and a half to go over four months of work. No one can remember all of that info, their brains will explode. Except for Alexa Sanna, apparently, but I'm convinced she's an android.

Anyway, I've finally put more songs on my playlist, including some comedy to show my lighter side (odd considering I'm always so angry and sarcastic.) And on that bombshell, this is me, signing off.

Oh noes, the world's going to end...NOT!!!

I've kind of been in a creative slump recently. With Sean off embracing his forgotten childhood, no one wants to seem to listen to my creative commentary about the world around us. But it's the end of the month and I need to get in one more posting for your amusement. I was mindlessly surfing the 'Net and I came across the trailer for the movie 2012, which I first saw when I went to see Valkyrie. And that made me remember a thought that I've had for a while now; why is it people are so convinced that that is when the world will end? It took millions of years for the world to form, and yes, we have fucked it up a tad bit, but being destroyed in three years!? Kind of hard to believe. Now I know that this was prophesied by the Mayans, who are supposed to be really smart, but I know a fact about them that may surprise you. I was watching a video about them in Spanish IV Honors (Bumblebee Man: "no es bueno!") and it is revealed that they smoked a lot of drugs and consumed massive amounts of alcohol. So they were probably SO fucked up when this thought came to them.

But that got me wondering? What if these drunk, high-as-a-fucking-kite Mayans were actually right? What would you do on your last day on Earth? Me, I wouldn't sleep, for one thing. I would probably do all the things that I want to do but can't: go sky-diving, spend some time at the go-kart track (new favorite hobby,) and throw a Molotov Cocktail at Greg Hennessy's house because I just can't stand him. Other things to do: have a Baconator for the last time, chill with my family, play my most epic drum solo EVA, and hook up with that girl I never get a chance to talk to. Finally, I would get all of my amigos together, get drunk (why not?), and listen to some Rammstein as we watched the ground erupt beneath out feet. Oh yeah, boyee!

I said, Lord, take me downtown, I'm just lookin' for some sushi

Last night was pretty bitchin'. Myself, Bobby Cohen and Dan Abel went to Sushi Palace in Hamden. Kind of a long ways, but by highway it only takes about 20 minutes. So we're sitting there, talking about the greatest movie idea ever, when the Douche Express pulled in: Luca Bagi, John Giordano and someone else. Crap, word's starting to spread about how good this place is. But they kept to themselves, and we ate about $60 worth of sushi and miso soup. Fuck the economic depression, I'm still going to enjoy myself!

So today, no school, which means I don't have to go back until Friday. Only bad part about today was that I had to clear the driveway of snow since my dad was at work. It started out okay, but then the freezing rain came; fan-fucking-tastic. It started to make the light, fluffy snow change into a dense combination of freezing, semi-water (since the temperature started to go up) and the snowblower became clogged and I had to unclog it. I should get paid for this kind of shit.

Still haven't started reading The Scarlet Letter. Maybe I should...haha, YEAH RIGHT!! XD

Jumpin' On the Bandwagon

It's official; my brain has officially turned to mush. After that AP Bio midterm today, which I must admit wasn't as bad as I thought it would be, I really need the two days off I have coming up (three if we get another snow day.) Midterms; they're a blessing and a curse.

Well, since everyone else is doing it, here's my list of 25 random thoughts I'm thinking right now:

1. I think both The Simpsons and Family Guy are starting to get less funny, while Futurama will always be the king of comedy.
2. Miley Cyrus needs to burn in hell for having such a annoying personality, plus she can't sing
3. Leonardo DiCaprio is currently the best actor in Hollywood.
4. I don't care how good A-Rod is, he doesn't deserve the amount of money he gets.
5. I would eat Italian every day for the rest of my life and not get tired of it.
6. I want to hit Greg Hennessey in the head with a shovel for being such a douche (or Sean Hines, depending on my mood.)
7. If life gives you lemons, say "Fuck, is this all I get?"
8. Arby 'n' the Chief is the funniest thing I've ever seen on Youtube.
9. The ultimate pizza topping combination is bacon, sausage and pepperoni.
10. Jack Black can sing better than most artists these days.
11. I usually don't let things get to me, but I can only be pushed so far...
12. Rock n' Roll as we know it died when the 90's started.
13. I'm afraid to go to the Deep South for fear of being shot.
14. If I ever won the lottery, I would buy myself a private island.
15. Dubai would be an awesome place to go on vacation.
16. I am the best drummer in Branford (besides Eric, but we're pretty close talent-wise)
17. AP Walking is probably the thing I'll miss most about school.
18. My dream is to become a professional race car driver.
19. British comedy is a million times better than most American comedy.
20. Sushi Palace is the best restaurant ever.
21. I really, REALLY need a job.
22. Dane Cook can still be funny if you don't listen to him that much.
23. The Nintendo Wii is a gimmick, nothing more.
24. There are times when I feel so desperately lonely.
25. If you don't like the way I am, then FUCK OFF!

Story of My Life

Damn, back to school again on a freezing Tuesday after a relaxing 3-day weekend of doing absolutely nothing. I know, I probably should have studied for the upcoming midterms like the little voice in my head tells me to, but as usual I just shut it up with a combination of laziness and music. This will probably come back to bite me on the ass, like it usually does. For proof, look no further than the AP Bio test I just got back. I did terrible, one of my worst grades in a long time. But I try not to linger too much on the past, just learn from my mistakes and do better in the future.

In other news, today marked the last time me and Sean had AP Walking together for the year! :( So, to make this one hell of a memorable moment, we came up with the best duets that we have ever done. Tara kinda tolerated it this time, though I'm convinced a million flaming arrows will descend upon Sean's house in the near future if this goes on for too much longer. So, to the entire AP Walking class, I say "Adieu, and thanks for the memories."

And finally; hey, hey, hey, my boy Barack Obama is officially El Presidente. I was glad that I got to witness the Inauguration, and I must say his speech was quite good. He may have many difficult obstacles to face, but I'm confident that he will find a way to pull us through these tough times. WOOOO, Obama!

Oh, and I almost forgot. Peter and Sean's Greatest Hits album will be available soon, but we're having a little trouble getting the project off the ground. But fear not, for I have a plan to get the money. All we need to do is steal a nuclear warhead and hold the world ransom for...(cue dramatic music)...100 billion dollars. Mwa ha ha ha ha ha!

Mainstream Music=Shit

(This posting has been made possible by the power of ramen. Yay, ramen!)

I'm in a relatively good mood today. I got to sleep in until 11 a.m. (MLK is a-okay in my book!) Then I watched a few episodes of "Stuff Happens" with Bill Nye the Science Guy, can't go wrong with that. Then the aforementioned ramen lunch. Oh, and my mother is making her homemade sauce again, and it smells SOOO good. Now, onto the main topic: I hate most of the music that is out today.

Everyone just sounds completely the same, and you could divide every artist that has a record deal into approximately one of four groups: pop stars, rappers, pussy emo bands (looking at you, Tokio Hotel), and alternative bands that lean more toward rock but suck anyways. Why, or how, did this happen? I think the main reasons are that it's too easy to get a record deal nowadays, and that people can get hooked on just a simple, catchy beat with stupid lyrics that don't even make sense. Why do you think rap artists are so successful? Back in the day of the greats like The Who, Led Zeppelin and Billy Joel, you could have been playing for years in some back alley nightclubs, making just enough money to make it to the next gig, before you were finally recognized. You got a lot of good lyric material from experiences like that, not to mention the times were a lot more turbulent back then, and that's what made them so great.

But you know, there are some truly great bands out there today that not everyone knows about. Those bands that sound just unique enough to separate them from the sea of clones. And to prove my point, I've made a little playlist that you should check out:

http://www.playlist.com/playlist/14688125707

Not only does it include some modern bands, but also the ones that paved the way for them and revolutionized music as we know it. I'll be adding more songs to it as time goes by, so keep checking back periodically.

Now if you'll excuse me, I feel the need to play a mad drum solo...
