SONG OF NOW

1, 2, 3 GO!

Asleep at the wheel 40 miles left to go
rollin' in our to rock the show,
we don't need fortune and we don't need fame,
we don't need bright lights to spell our name,
All we ever wanted was to play

Play it loud, play it loud
raise your voice shout it out

We weren't the first but were holding our own,
10 years ago the seeds were sewn,
A song in your heart gets you up when you're down,
like the songs we play we love this sound,
we're just like you standin' in the crowd

Play it loud, play it loud
raise your voice shout it out

Play it loud, play it loud
raise your voice shout it out

Hold first your friends
Be true to yourself
And stop tryin' to be just like somebody else
Be Yourself

Play it loud, play it loud
raise your voice shout it out

Play it loud, play it loud
raise your voice shout it out

PLAY IT LOUD


~ MXPX, Play It Loud
 
 
SNOW

Jebus H. Christ. I'm beginning to forget what our teachers look like.

- Okay, obviously the big thing in my mind at the moment is the fact that WE HAVENT HAD SCHOOL FOR FREAKIN' EVER. Didn't have school over the weekend (obviously,) it snows on Sunday, no school Monday, Tuesday, today, or tomorrow. Insane. Of course, I've been having fun all these days (gaming, drawing, writing, music, sleeping, yadda yadda.) I've forgotten like everything I learned last week, but that's fine too.

  • MegaTokyo
  • THE COMPLETE AND UTTER SHIZZY. Yes, I know I say this about something like every week, but THIS... this comic is truly a masterpiece. I spent most of Monday and a little bit of Tuesday reading through all of it up to today's comic... and it was totally worth it. Go read it sometime. I COMMAND YE.

    - I've been getting drawing lessons... and they help. XD
    No really, they have.

    Err... that's all for this update. Expect another one tomorrow. Cause its my berfday and all tomorrow.

    SONG CURRENTLY IN MY (SPASM-INDUCING!) MIND

    i sit here clutching useless lists
    and keys for doors that don't exist
    i crack my teeth on pearls
    i tear into the history
    just show me what it means to me in this world

    'cause i am due for a miracle
    i'm waiting for a sign
    i'll stare straight into the sun
    and i won't close my eyes
    'til i understand or go blind

    i see the parts but not the whole
    i study saints and scholars both
    no perfect plan unfurls
    do i trust my heart or just my mind
    why is truth so hard to find in this world
    yeah in this world

    'cause i am due for a miracle
    i'm waiting for a sign
    i'll stare straight into the sun
    and i won't close my eyes
    'til i understand or go blind

    i know that there's a point I've missed
    a shrine or stone i haven't kissed
    a scar that never graced my wrist
    a mirror that hasn't met my fist
    but i can't help feeling like i'm

    due for a miracle
    i'm waiting for a sign
    i'll stare straight into the sun
    and i won't close my eyes

    due for a miracle
    i'm waiting for a sign
    i'll stare straight into the sun
    and i won't close my eyes


    ~ Thrice, Stare At The Sun
     
     
    WHAT IS THE SOUND OF ONE HAND CLAPPING?

    Uhh... I DONT KNOW. *mental meltdown*

    - Ugh. I need more shleep, according to mah doctor. Quite a long story. For like the past two weeks, I have been having spasms (oO) and they've been getting more and more constant (as in like, 1 per day as opposed to 1 every other day, but still, spasms are not good.) So my mom walked in my room one night cause I forgot mah lunch money, and she came in just in time to see me whip out with my arm and hit my alarm clock. Whilst I was unconcious. Which is either caused by some really vivid dreams (nope) or spasms (yup.) SO we took a happy little excursion down to the doctor's office, and he told me that the cause of them was cause of them was lack of sleep. So I either have go get more sleep, or suffer more spasms and possibly a seizure because of sleep deprivation. I chose getting more sleep.

    - Speaking of my mental state, I have a frickin' headache. Ick.

    - How many people do I know that have a date/are possibly getting a date for QoH.. a lot. Shalt I get one, or shalt I wing it solo again? Hmm...

    I was gonna have more philosophical junk that's stuck in my head, but its dinnertime. So you get my thoughts tomorrow.

    ~mEh~

    HAHAHAHAHAHA.

    Laughter is the face orgasm. When you laugh, the private organs must go, "What the heck was that? I thought we were in charge of fun!" It must freak the ol' nads out. I imagine there's a running competition between the sex drive and the sense of humor. A battle between the funny bone and the boner. Which can cause more pleasure? The ha ha or the oo la la? Comedy or hot dripping sweaty naughty good times? Which begs the question: After you share a big hearty laugh with someone--the kind that makes you convulse with nasal snort noises--do you still respect each other in the morning? Do you avoid each other, then bump into them at the water cooler and sheepishly go, "So. Things got weird, huh? I laughed. You laughed. One thing led to another..." Ever look at someone and go, Man, I'd sure love to get together with that piece of funniness and laugh and laugh till milk shoots outta me. That person will make milk come out my nose over and over and over again. Ooh. Yeah. Tell me the one about the rabbi and the penguins, baby... Right there... Yeah... Ah! Ah! AH HA HA HA HA HA!

    This put me in a good mood.

    Back to the english project.

    *SIGH*

    Oy. Hm. Not too much to say tonight (or this morning, since it's officially Monday...)

    - True, we have an extra day off, and it is the weekend, but I've been more depressed this weekend than I was all last week. Why? I have no bloody idea. Maybe cause its cloudy and drizzly and dreary and stuff. Maybe its cause I've been cooped up in my house almost all weekend. Maybe its cause I'm missing something. I dunno. But it really sucks.

    - One little ray of sunshine is that I actually had some money to spend (imagine that) so I ran on over to Barnes & Nobles to check stuff out. Bought Chobits #4 (only 4 more to go!) and the Kill Bill soundtrack, which actually has a story behind it. I was looking through the CDs there, trying to find something that would spark my interest, when a clerk sparks up a conversation with meh. He asks "What kind of music are you looking for?" To which I respond "Eh... I likes all kinds of music... jazz, rock, orchestral, you name it." So he asks me if I saw Kill Bill and I say yes (bloody awesome movie...) and he suggests the soundtrack. So I take his word for it and pick it up. And I'm glad I did. Because it is one PIMPING soundtrack. Shweetness in almost every track.

    - One Pice kicks ass.

    - This personality quiz that I took says...

    You have wings of STEEL. No one's really sure why, but at this point in your life you've shut off emotion to the point of extreme apathy. You are cold and indifferent much of the time...or perhaps you're just a good pretender. Next to impossible to get close to, even those who do never see the real you. It's entirely possible that YOU don't even know the real you. You have a certain fascination or attraction to destruction on a massive scale - disasters, perhaps even death or the concept of the Apocalypse. Because you hold so much inside, one day you're simply going to snap. Then the mask will fall away, and your true wings will be revealed. Until then you will deal with whatever comes your way in icy bitter silence and acceptance. On the positive side, you are fearless and immeasurably strong - not much can crack through your defenses. You intrigue people, who can't help but wonder why you're the way you are. A loner and one who spends much of their time brooding and contemplating life and death - you are a time bomb waiting to explode and create some destruction of your own.

    Interesting.

    PHILOSOPHICAL STUFF

    Bah. Had stuff on my mind. So I write what it be. Thats how I be.

    Awrighty, just to tell of what brought these thoughts on, mah buddy up in the NY has just gotten over a serious case of depression. As in, thinking about suicide depressed. He's fine now, but that got me thunkin' on the subject o life. What's the point of it? I know that question has been asked many a time in man's history and will be asked many a more times in man's history, but now I'm weaving my stitch in this unanswered question. In the end, we all die, there's no escaping that. And really, I'd rather die young (not as in now, but like 40 or 50) than grow up to like 90 and be a frail ol' man with my lung machine and my hearing aid. What's the big deal about dying. It's just eternal naptime, which doesn't sound too bad. Or we could go to Heaven and chill with God and dead people like Elvis for all eternity. Or we could go to Hell and muck around in pigshit. But that's only if you believe in it.

    Then again, on the flipside, there's so much to live for! So much to live! So much to see! So much to accomplish in this split second of time we call life. I've only been along the East Coast of the US, the Carribean, and England. In my entire 16 years of living. What about the other worlds I havent been too? I haven't seen the savannahs of Africa. I haven't seen the peaks of the Andes. I havent been pushed and shoved around in an Indian marketplace. I havent lived in Lindberg. Haven't rocked in Rio de Janerio. Haven't touched the soil in Timbuktu. Haven't breathed in the essence of Beijing. After I've been around the world and back, met all the people there, experienced their joy, their pain, their happiness and their anguish, then I will have truly lived.

    Until then, I gotta be pushing to do that.

    From a band in Boston, a murder in Madrid,
    to going from the moon to Mars,
    I'll get by the pain, I'll live my life,
    Cuz I gotta go reach for the stars.


    Vive.

    WOOT

    Hey dee dah.

    - *slaps himself cause he's actually going to QoH* Oh well. Even though it was slightly kinda really insane last year, I guess I'll go again (EVEN THOUGH I HAVE TO PAY FOR MY OWN SUIT.) And hopefully Big Marc won't be high on happiness this time. Cause it was utter craziness last year (Mikey stumbling around drunkenly... Big Marc walking up to everyone and screaming "DANCE WITH ME!", Kelly... being her usual self... and me and Erin and Kathryn watching in terror. oO;) And I gotta play in that thing Mr. Logan is doing anyway, so meh...

    - Eh... school is so-so right now. I'd rather not be in it right now (mainly on account of 50 billion other things have gained my attention and sparked my imagination. And instead of working on my AMV or my novel... IM DOING HOMEWORK. Blah. But it must be done.

    - Need some Community & Culture activities... hmm. Lil Marc, you're the one that thinks em up. Aggh.

    - Turning in IB stuff, which pretty much seals my decision to be in it. Woot woot. Work like crazy, do extra stuff, talk more, learn more, FULFILL THE CHALLENGE. That's what its all about.

    - Saw The Return of The King on Sunday, and it was farkin' awesome. Usually the end of a series of movie or book suck, but this one was just as strong as all the others. I thought it was a wee too fast paced, and the story moved about a lot, but it was good, considering that I hadn't read the book prior to watching it (guess I got tired of the books after the Two Towers, bah, shoot me if you want.) One thing I dont get is how Gollum survived the first fall off the cliff after Frodo escaped from Shelob... hmm. And the ending was hella long too. But it was good all in all.

    Hmm... shall I tell you about meh love life... hmmmmm... nah, I'll tell you about it in the next thrilling episode of RICHIE'S BLOG! *dramatic fanfare*

    Its not interesting anyway.

    Really.

    Its not.

    SONG OF TEH MOMENT

    I think I'm breaking out
    I'm gonna leave you now
    There's nothing for me here it's all the same
    And even though I know
    That everything might go
    Go downhill from here I'm not afraid

    Way away away from here I'll be
    Way away away so you can see
    How it feels to be alone and not believe
    Anything...

    You can't stop me now
    You can't hold me down
    You can't keep me here I'm on my way
    I made it this far now
    And I'm not burning out
    No matter what you say I'm not afraid

    Way away away from here I'll be
    Way away away so you can see
    How it feels to be alone and not believe
    Anything...

    Letting out the noise inside of me
    Every window pane is shattering
    Cutting up my words before I speak
    This is how it feels to not believe

    Way away away from here I'll be
    Way away away so you can see
    How it feels to be alone and not believe
    Anything...

    HOWDY

    Happy Wednesday.

    - It better snow more than they expect it to on Friday. >_>

    - Eh, didn't mention in my last post how school was since we're back in it now. Everyone is strangely perky and happy now... (that's obviously going to fade away, but its cool for the moment.) Spent all day today trying to get my classes changed (everyone was happy to see meh when I walked back in Computer Science oO.) So now everything is correct. And I am ready to kick ass this semester. HUZZAH.

    - Go buy the Yellowcard album, it is so freakin' awesome.

    - Could it be... maybe? ... nah.

    ... err, dont ask.

    - Hummity hum hum... my birthday is coming up. Whee. All of you gotta get me something. I DEMAND A PRESENT.

    - Queen of Hearts is coming up. To go or not to go? I'm leaning towards no, because my mom is actually making me pay for my tux this year. AGH. So... either I get some money before then, wear semi nice looking clothes, or just dont go. I'm sorta going for the latter.

    I'm hungry.

    2004... WOO

    Yup. Its a whole 'nother new year. 2004. New year, new things, new beginnings, new opportunities, same ol me. Fun stuff. And now, FOR THE BLOG. *trumpet fanfare*

    ~ Yeah, I just got back from Florida. Slept all the way back in the car, though, so I'm not exactly sleepy. Twas fun down thurr, though it was a helluva long drive (12 hours in a car with my brother. My sanity was waning.) Had a chance to say howdy to my grandparents and my uncle down there, celebrate New Year's, help my sister move into FIU... shes staying down there for a semester. So yup, my week has been packed.

    ~ ... I didn't know Monday was a teacher workday. Why dont you people tell me these things? oO

    ~ I need something else to do to pass the time besides games and movies and drawing and playing music and writing... I always do those. They're actually getting old. Any suggestions? Any?

    *crickets chirp*

    ... fine.

    ~ My brain is fried, so the blog ends now. Though I'm gonna start doing the song of the *insert time period* again.... since I miss it.

    Y'all get another blog tomorrow.

    ~mEh~


     
    The blog of Richie. Have a nice stay.

    My Photo
    Name:
    Location: Raleigh, North Carolina, United States

    I'm that nice black dude who is friends with everyone, who dresses in Roca Wear and Nike, yet lives in the richest-assed neighborhood ever, that listens to things varying from Coltrane to Modest Mouse to DJ Taka, and who is both emo and cheerful at the same time. In short, I'm just plain crazy.
