Every day, usually in the night time when I am outside by myself smoking a cigarette.. I think of something amazing to blog about, complete with anecdotes, quotes, and funny comments.. and I say to myself "I'm going to blog about this tomorrow." I always forget, and by the time I sit down to write a blog up.. I don't remember anything I thought about. Maybe I'll start blogging from my cell phone when ideas hit me. Heh, I'm too lazy for that. It most likely will not pan out. We'll see.
Today, I have no idea what to write about, so I am going to sit down, and start writing.. and see what comes of it. Hopefully something amazing will spark up.
Happy Belated Halloween. Also, I'm sure someone somewhere was born today... so Happy Birthday to you!
I'm in a very bad financial situation. So is my mother.. we've both been laid off from our jobs, and are on the hunt for new ones. In the mean time we're going to have to try and live off these crap-ass unemployment checks. I'm drowning in financial ruin. I'd try and win the lottery but I can't afford to buy the ticket. Heh.
I saw the movie Quarantine the other day. I absolutely loved it. Every single one of my friends who I went to go see it with said they hated it, but I didn't. I think it may be because I am a Film student, and I was paying attention to different aspects of the movie than they were. Although, the entire movie they were up on the edge of their seat, screaming at the scary parts with everyone else. So it could not have been too bad for them. The best part of the move tho was that I got to see a man kill one of the "bad things" (don't want to spoil anything) with his camera. Keep in mind that this was a blair witch style movie, so he killed her with his camera, and we got to see the camera's perspective. I could not stop laughing in the theatre.. I think I even got "Shh'd!".
No one really understands to the point of how much I LOVE music. It's like an escape for me. When I put on headphones and just lay down and listen. Not just to the lyrics, but to EVERYTHING. It sort of paints a picture in my head, and I just.. I don't know.. get lost in it. I often wonder if it's like that for everyone.. or if other people just like music to dance, or rock out in front of the mirror. (guilty) I don't know. Music to me is just something more. I really should start practicing my piano again. I miss it.
I also miss you. You know who you are. ..don't you?
I'm sitting on my couch. One fag hag sits across from me, laughing and constantly asking if we can go see puppies. Later today. The other hag is currently flattening my hair with a very hot iron. I have just been warned, that she is very close to my ear.. and that I should not move.. or I may get burned. She is now snapping pictures of my half finished hair.
Well, that's enough play by play. I promised a blog yesterday, and I did not deliver. I am truly sorry. Oh well. Watch this video in the mean time. It's hi-freaking-larious.
Alright, so there is going to be a slight change of plans on the website.
I have decided that this is going to be strictly a blog, no other pages whatsoever. There will be no about me page, no contact page, no pictures, no NOTHING. Just a blog. I have reworked the layout to reflect that.
Alright. I hope whoever happens to run into this website, will enjoy.
So, most of the pages are "done". There's nothing really interesting that will be on this website, besides the blog. However, the stuff is there. The layout is temporary. It's an old MySpace layout I use to have. I'll either make a new one, or have someone else make a new one. Most likely Joel will be making a layout based on the flash page.
So, welcome to the first official blog of the relaunch of TMF. I don't want to do blogs where I say "Today I went to the store.. and bought things. Yay me." anymore. I think I'm acutally going to have a topic, and talk about it this time. We'll see how it works out.
Today's blog will be about music.
I often feel like I'm the only person in the world who actually listens to music these days. When I say listen, I mean more than sitting in the car, and a song goes on and say "Oh! This is my jam!" I mean actually pay attention to the music, as well as the lyrics.
My biggest peeve is that the majority of songs today.. DON'T SAY ANYTHING! It's like the artists and the producers are more focused on creating a fun beat that you can dance to, and the lyrics are just kind of a side effect. Something necessary, because it's what's expected.
It just seems that music is heading in that direction, and everyone is happy with it. So why do I get annoyed about it. Maybe I'm just too 'old school'. It's a little odd when a twenty year old is refering to himself as "old school". But hey, whatever. It just seems to me that music should be more about the lyrics, and the music should be a side effect, or reflection of that.. and when a song is about the music, it should be played on REAL instruments. Guitars, piano, brass, bass, anything other than the electronically generated crap that, to me, sounds exactly the same in every single song.
I'll end it a quote.

PS: Wow. It feels weird to write again. I'll get back into the swing of it soon enough.
This is a test of the Cute News script. I may or may not keep it. We will just have to wait and see. You never know. I could find something better. -shrug- We'll find out sooooon enough!
One, two, three, four... that's how you count to four. Yay!!
Once upon a time there was a fish. I caught it in the ocean. It went "click click click click". It did that because it was a puffer fish. It just got bigger and bigger. It was crazy.
