Bullshizzle.

I wonder if there's a place where on one side it's already 2010 and on the other it's still 2009. If you stood at this place, you would technically be standing in two different years. Is that a stupid thought?

I personally find this whole New Year's thing anti-climatic. I will wake up tomorrow and it'll look like any other day. I'll still write "2009" on my papers accidentally for a good month or so. I'll still have to deal with the same things for a good 3/4 of 2010.

Man. It feels like yesterday I wrote an entry with a resolution on it. It didn't happen. I could care less at this point. I can't wrap my head around it so I'm just really not gonna let it bother me ever again.

"So what about this year?!"

Oh, here's an easy one. Get into college. WOO! Simple enough right? Mr. Unedited College Essay begs to differ.

I just realized this little identity mess (that's probably over-exaggerating) I'm in is gonna get in the way of my applying. WAY TO START OFF THE NEW YEAR! I have to fill out my financial aid stuff ASAP, but I can't until all my ID and all that crap says the name I've been using since I was like 8.

Today has been a horrible day. I don't know. It probably sounds like nothing compared to your big boy problems right?

I went to the DMV today. Stood in line for a good hour. Took that written test. Passed with 4 wrong. Stood at the counter waiting for something to happen. Lady tells me that the name on my social security card does not match the one on my passport so I can't get anything until that's all fixed. Hooray. This sucks so much because the name on my passport isn't actually even the name that I use so I'll just have to change EVERYTHING now. I don't know what the hell my parents did when I first got to the US, but there are about 3-4 different names floating out there on various documents that all are suppose to be me.

This needs to be fixed soon because I'll have to apply to college very soon and it would be so not awesome if something happened because none of the names match up.

All of that totally killed the excitement of passing in one go. The kid in front of me had like 12 wrong. I JUST WANNA DRIVE BEFORE JANUARY 23RD!!!

So yea, I basically have a permit. Haha. NOW ONTO THE DRIVING EVENTUALLY!

Did you know that one Anthony Green and one Matt Embree came together last night in Los Angeles during a Good Old War show and played an acoustic version of "Skullflower" by The Sound of Animals Fighting? I'm going to assume that you, the reader, have no clue what TSOAF is so that's not important news.

I got the driving handbook of doom today! I've neglected to finish reading it still, but I have to! Why?! BECAUSE I APPARENTLY WILL BE TAKING THE WRITTEN TEST TOMORROW! Way to just spring things on me parents. I bet you a pony I'll fail it since I've become the worst test taker ever.

Oh man. I will get to drive eventually.

I've actually had another really, really long talk with someone on Omegle. That website is gonna get me killed.

Bacon smacon

Anyone else find the title of my blog ridiculously stupid and thirteen-year-old-ish?

I do.

But me and the Photoshop aren't speaking so meh.

I got Adobe Premiere Pro CS3! Now I just need something to edit. I have weird hobbies. Like editing videos just for the hell of editing videos! I like learning how to use things like Photoshop and Premiere. Makes me feel useful and tech savvy.

Says the tech guy who's actually expected to understand how computers work. I really don't. I just know how to crack 'em open and occasionally know what to take out and fix.

Boohoohoo.

Heart of chocolate

I just spent over an hour talking to the same person on Omegle. Her name was like Alyssa or something. She lived in Maine, was 16 and had absolutely no interest in boys (if you know what I mean). Of course, this information was all volunteered by her. She only knows I live in California and that I am a guy from all my stupid comments. We talked about ponies and kittens for a good 90% of that conversation. Somewhere in there was a bit of rape and murder and hardcore music. It was fun. Dare I say the most perfect Omegle conversation ever? They should model conversations after the one we just had. It didn't start with "asl?" and the only mention of hand jobs were by me during really bad jokes. If only the interbot was all this awesome.

I also want a trophy because I'm sure we broke some kind of record for longest, non-sex related, awesome conversation. YEA!

Other than that, life is still just as boring and stuck in my room as can be.

-Allan

Gota de suerte

I wanna not be sitting in front of the computer doing nothing. If I could only turn that into something productive.

There's still half of a book I spent $14 on that I haven't finished reading. An entire college essay I should probably write. One I need to revise ASAP. And just a plethora of other things I wanna get started on.

But it will never happen! WE ALL KNOW ME WELL ENOUGH AND I NEVER GET ANYTHING DONE! Poop.

I know. Two posts in one day? Exciting! If more people read this and I were more famous, some possible comments could look like this:

"OMG! ANOTHER POST?! IS IT MY BIRTHDAY?!"

"lulz"

"fagget"

"It really worked for me! BUY VIAGRA NOW!! www.notreallyviagra.com"

"Do you like regular Pringles?!"

"you know what you need a job and maybe a girlfriend then you wouldn't be sitting on your fatass eating all day and talking to the internet like someone cares fuckyoufuckyoufuckyouballsballsballsballs"

I personally love that last one. All my comments should look like that. LOOK LIKE IT!

I kinda wish I had a camera because there are things I wanna take pictures of. Hooray.

A Badge

MY PACKAGE CAME! HOORAY! And immediately I am waiting for another. Stupid gift cards and their ability to let me shop online. =/

My dad just has the worst opinions ever. He says things and you're just like "Wow...is that what you really think?" Scratch the first sentence. The only issue I have with his opinions is that he is way too vocal about it. Yes, it is good to express your opinions, but with anything it gets boring after the first time. He'll find a way to slip politics into just about everything! I DON'T CARE ABOUT HOW THEM LIBERALS ARE KILLING US! I don't like politics either. If you hate it so much, move down South. Then you'll never have to deal with our pseudo-hippie bullshit ever again.

What?

I have this crazy paper cut on mah fingah. As with most cuts I get, I can't tell you where exactly it came from. All I know was that I neglected to put a band-aid on it and it looks gnarly.

WHOO!!

French Texas

HOLYSNAPS! Wristcutters: A Love Story is probably one of the best movies I have ever seen!!! I love it! It somehow takes such a super depressing act and turns it into an amazing movie that is in no way depressing. GO WATCH IT! GO WATCH IT! GO WATCH IT!!!

I got a bit too excited there. It is a good movie though. The guy from Almost Famous is in it. Tom Waits is in it. They play a few songs by Joy Division. WHAT'S THERE NOT TO LOVE?!

But alas, I am stuck at home in the end. I'm kinda tempted to just take public transportation all the out to the city so I can spend the rest of my "I saved up all of this money for one thing, but I've decided to waste it on all this other thing" money. It's kinda late ish though. I probably won't make it home before dark and I'm not motivated to leave the house. I'm still recovering from being 98% dead so I shouldn't risk it.

I have a Skype account, but I never use it. I'm not cool enough I guess.

Postcards from Italy

Santa was just using Rudolph for his body.

I've been terribly sick for the past few days. It could've been Swine flu. I don't know. I didn't sleep much. I didn't eat much. I could barely stand up. It was horrible. I couldn't even hold up a guitar (having a very heavy Les Paul didn't help) so I basically just laid in bed coughing up various internal organs.

I've developed a phobia of metal doorknobs. It's really sad and scary.

Sold out

Let me rep some random stuff.

Snakes & Suits

Get your faux indie on. Har har har.

I am spending my birthday savings on that. I am flaking on music for clothing. That's so unlike me.

At least I'll still have $100 left after this.

I've been spending a lot of time on the interbots watching youtube videos. By that I mean I've just been watching random vlogging people talk into a camera. Dare I say I am somewhat addicted? Here are the people I find amusing for absolutely no good reason:

-Nanalew

-YourAverageAdam

-thatzak

-Cohenism

That is most definitely in the order I like them. They also do a podcast, but if you even bother to click on one of those links, you'll probably find it.

500 Days of Summer is sooooooooooo good!!!!!!!! Being a super Zooey Deschanel fan, it's most definitely smart to watch one of her best movies ever 800 billion days after it's been released. Now there's no one to talk about it with. ._.

I loved that movie.

Inglourious Basterds also. That was pretty good too.

For once in my life I actually feel good about this whole college thing. I ACTUALLY HAVE AN ESSAY WRITTEN!!! WOOO!!! YEA!!! It's kinda sad how other people are actually in college already though. Also this girl who's like 100x smarter than me is also applying to Skidmore. Well, I'm sure a lot of other people at school who are 100x smarter than me are applying also, but I only know for a fact that she is. Way to totally further destroy my chances.

I wonder if I could apply for stuff in Canada?

Speaking of Canada, it is basically a proven fact that just about ANYONE can speak French better than me. It's kinda sad.

Contrary to popular belief, I actually do own more than just one t-shirt. Too bad I always end up getting pictures taken of me when I'm wearing my East Oakland Boxing Association shirt. Honestly. Out of the not that many pictures of me on the interbots, a good chunk of them feature me wearing that shirt. Why does this matter?!

This is what we in the cattle industry call "Finals Week". This isn't just any finals week. It is THE finals week. The finals week to end all finals week until a later, as of yet undetermined time in my life.

I am blogging very early in the morning. That can probably tell you what mindset I am in right now. Not a good or productive one. I have about two late assignments and one that is actually due by the end of today. If I somehow convince myself to stay away from friends and distractions on a day where I don't even have to be at school, I will get them done. I will be more or less caught up. It's been so long since I've known that feeling.

The crowds will roar. So, so much.

If you've been reading my blog for more than a second, you'll probably realize I swear a lot. For no good apparent reason whatsoever. So, I've convinced myself to cut down on it. Maybe.

Concluding remarks.

I'm going to have a few weeks worth of free time soon. Assuming I do force myself to follow through with the whole learning the drive thing, I might spend a lot of that time just driving around and forgetting to put gas into the car. Even then I'll still have a lot of free time. I think I will force myself to write things again. Well, "force" makes it sound un-artsy. Haha. What exactly these things are is still unclear. How seriously I take it is still unclear as well.

Hi. Ho. Hi. Ho!

No big whoop

The fact that I have only two finals left in my entire high school career and I'm already stoked about leaving high school makes me not wanna study at all.

Hello. You have tuned into another one of these.

If I sat in front of a camera and talked about dumb shit then posted it on youtube, would anyone watch? CAN I BE FAMOUS TOO?! WILL I RECEIVE MORE HATE MAIL AND DEATH THREATS?!

That in no way implies I'm going to start doing that. Having a blog and spamming stupid shit on twitter is enough.

I may have developed this somewhat huge obsessions with Evan Rachel Wood. I haven't seen "Across The Universe" though. I just know that a handful of people I know fucking hate it. Har har har.

Oh man oh man oh man. OH MAN!

I will recover from being sick again and fight the interbot with more words and stuff.

Bite My Tongue

People keep telling me high school will be some of the best years of my life. I'd gladly trade it all in for a puppy. Or a taco. Depending on the time of day.

If I keep at this pace, I'll learn to drive just before 2010! Just gonna drive around buying hella porn and cigarettes.

If it works out, I could probably drive to the Cold War Kids show next month. Won't have to deal with BART or making my parents pick me up at like 1 am.



Does that turn you on? Click it.

I remember when we were almost going to learn what makes us develop crushes in Neurobiology. I think we did. I can't remember. I don't know.

I'm like 90% done with that class. I'm both super stoked and super bummed. It's a fun and interesting class, but it is so fucking hard. Definitely not for the pretend smart people.

My friend wants to go out with a bunch or people for dinner next Thursday to celebrate all the December birthdays. He has his sights set on this somewhat fancy restaurant and is willing to pay for all of it. I'm not sure I wanna go. Sure, I shouldn't bitch about a free meal, but I'm only turning 18 man. I think I'd have a better time fucking around in some dirty little burger joint in the middle of nowhere. Har har har. I'm just not mature/sophisticated enough for this stuff I guess. Nonetheless, it's a very nice thing for him to do.

I is listening to that Academy Is... at this very moment. Once again, I like Santi. Leave me alone.

I hate it when people abuse the word "epic".

Why do you think Joss Whedon shows get cancelled a lot? Maybe because they really aren't that good. Maybe.

Sugar it's all right

17 (you could basically round it off to 18) years and you'd think my parents would have given up on trying to make me more normal like the other children. Nope. Mum gives me crap for almost everything. Sadly I just have to take it.

Angst. Angst. Angst.

People seemed really happy to learn that they have gotten into college. I want that feeling?

Can you believe it? I'm less then 8 days away from my final final of high school! Then I just have to finish my one AP and it's no more testing!!! At least until college (if that happens).

I really wanna go to college. Leave me alone.

I think that's how my entire life will be. Move from school to school to job. Then whatever work is, it will just be like school except way more important and for way longer. I won't want to do it for the most part, but I need it and will just feel empty and bored without it. I sound like I'm talking about drugs. Har har har.

I have gloves. They don't have fingers. So much for being practical.

Have you ever swallowed something and thought you were gonna die cause you weren't sure it was gonna make it through all the way? I have. I swallowed a whole Hershey's Kiss thing the other day. Adding insult to injury, it was one of those awesome peppermint ones which just made the whole experience all that much worse cause it was minty the whole time lodged in my throat. Probably didn't help I was laughing the whole time. I wasn't going to die.

Pussy.

There is a stamp laying next to me on this shelf thing I have. I don't know where it came from.

A Holden Caufield

Wow...umm...okay. I don't know how well this is going to go over for you. Just hope they're not all thirsty for blood.

Rumors are stupid, but the fact that you did something really stupid in the first place just makes it worst. Where the fuck was your head?

Here's to me having no faith whatsoever in the generations that will come after me.

This is where you drink something. I guess.

I could be more vague. It's really not something that would make your life a whole lot better by knowing. Thinking about it makes me wanna throw up. Why couldn't I be like the one person who doesn't know a damn thing about it? It's not something that involves me either. It only bothers me because I thought this person was different and had way more common sense than that. I guess not.

Did you know one of the new Smashing Pumpkins songs is up somewhere on the interbot? You probably know I couldn't care less.

You can't sexy dance to punk rock.

Mercy me

Mass texts are funny.

So is everything else.

If you've never seen the movie "Kids", it's probably worth watching.



Best part of the movie ever.

Yea, I'm running out of movies to watch so I'm just going back and re-watching things. If I really wanted to, I would actually take some of my friend's recommendations and watch all the bad foreign films he spends all his time watching. But I won't. I look down on all that is not remotely indie!!! >=O

So I went into an American Apparel once. I wanted to buy red pants. They didn't have red pants. I just ended up talking about Sasha Grey with one of the girls that worked there. True story.

"Sometimes I wonder if sex is worth all of this..."

It really isn't.

It is done

So I somehow convinced my friends to go see New Moon with me tonight. All I can say is wow. We left maybe 4/5th's through the movie only because I was sure it might possibly get funnier. My friends gave up like 20 minutes in and were just flipping me off the whole time. Worst waste of money ever. Fuck you lady for telling me to shut up. I know I was being an asshole, but there were people next to me who were just talking the whole time and you didn't give them shit. I was only laughing....really loudly.

I want to find like an e-mail or something for the person who wrote the script. I want to talk to this person. I want to find out how he/she is able to live knowing they were the ones responsible for putting those words down on paper.

Tomorrow will be bettah! SO MUCH BETTAH!!

I has to write college essays ASAP. Can I just send them my blog? Haha. It'll probably tell you more about me than some BS on a few pages of paper. I can't write anymore. That's what I'm trying to say.

I keep telling myself I'll learn how to drive during the next period off from school. I WILL MAKE THAT HAPPEN FOR WINTER BREAK! YOU WILL NOT STOP ME LAZINESS! YOU PROBABLY WILL!!!

Fuck everything. FUCK NOTHING!! Pam cakes.

Washing hands

So a while back, I saw a band loading into their van on the way to my grandma's house. Ever since then, I've really wanted to know which band that was. Today, I randomly stumbled upon a San Francisco band called The Stone Foxes. I looked through their pictures and there it was, that house on the corner of the street my grandma lives on! THEY WERE THE BAND THAT WAS LOADING IN THAT DAY!! AWESOME?!!! Their music's not bad either. It's pretty bluesy and all badass.

That house actually holds some significance in my life I guess. I used to spend all of my Summers in San Francisco with my grandma since my parents had to work and didn't wanna leave me home alone, so I saw that house a lot. It has this really odd dog house-like entrance on the side of it and I've always been intrigued by it. I don't know why. It's just really weird entrance.

Once again, I hate being wrapped up in things I don't wanna know. I think I mentioned this in an earlier post. My friend is dating this girl that my other friend likes. Used to like. I really don't wanna dig into that situation more than I already unwillingly have. All I know is the one that isn't dating her fucking hates the one that is dating her now. I should've used names. Fuck. T = one that is dating her. J = one that isn't dating her. You really don't give a shit about this but I'll go on. When I heard about it at first, it was kinda awkward. I didn't think a whole lot out of it because I didn't think J cared a whole lot anymore. Then he made some comments a few days ago about T and it all kinda came together. I haven't seen them talk to each in a while. J is always making rude comments about how the other two are always on each other. Okay, I really don't care now. Har har har.

I had one of those mornings today where I just did not/could not get up. Like I literally just couldn't open my eyes. It wasn't even because I was tired. I have to wake up and make waffles for my Neurobiology class tomorrow. Hooray.

Grandpa sweater

The Rasputin Music in downtown SF has the coolest elevator ever. They actually hire a dude to stand in there so "the crackheads and stuff don't just come in and go crazy". Not that you really could. The fucking thing was like the size of a small shower stall. Awesome nonetheless.

Johnny Depp played such a minor and not super important role in Chocolat that I totally kinda regret watching it. It was an okay movie, but way too "we all lived happily after and AIDS never happened" for me. Maybe I'm wrong. Fight me over it.

I've had a rough day. I have no clue why, but I decided to spend the day shopping with my friends who were trying to take advantage of the whole Black Friday bullshit. Let me just say that people will spend enormous amounts of money on stupid shit if we make them believe that they really need it. Like really? $150 for a fucking plain hoodie with some stupid logo you can't even see because it's on the inside? You can get one for like $20 and you could never tell the difference. Like people actually stop you to check your clothing to make sure you're rolling in designer shit. And stop sewing hoods onto everything. If you're too much of a bitch to wear a hoodie under a leather jacket or some other sort of jacket, go die.

I mean, whatever, it's your money and you spend it however the fuck you want, but the fact that you don't even stop for a minute to be like "Eh...maybe I really don't need another $300 fork warmer" is kind of scary.

Yea, I really didn't have to go. I did get a copy of the Florence + the Machine album and Silent Hill 2 so I guess it was worth it. I do have to say the actual artwork on the Lungs CD is kind of disappointing. It's not cool. It looks super boot-leg. The rest of the packaging is all pretty and stuff. Why the hell did they go that route with the actual CD? That's my only complaint about that.

Can we also stop hiring people to shred on some stupid Disney Channel teen pop sensation's albums? Please? Like there was a point back in the day where shredding was just being abused and all that grunge stuff came along and like no one wanted to solo anymore. Now that playing a billion notes per second is cool again, everyone is fucking doing it and abusing the crap out of it. Fuck off Demi Lovato.

I'm all complaints today. And everyday. I blame the shopping.

They're doing some pretty cool things over there. Makes me wanna move to the UK. I probably wouldn't fair very well in the UK.

I made this awesome paper banana in math today. Yep. I make my parents pay a ton of money so I can make "Thank You" cards in math. Well, we only spent like the last ten minutes of class doing it so I guess I shouldn't talk shit about it. My "card" was a banana. I didn't actually direct it to anyone specific (which we were all told to do) so I'll probably lose "This kid is taking my class seriously" points from my teacher. It'll hopefully just end up going to a fan of bananas (which is what I wrote).

I'm fiending for some Silent Hill. The next time I go to a video game store, I have to snag a copy of 2 and 4 so I'LL HAVE ALL OF THEM THAT DON'T SUCK!!! MWAHAHAHAHA!!! Apparently 5 sucks. 4 kinda sucks too, but Eileen Galvin is awesome.

Get me stuff by Bukowski for one of the many days in December where you have to buy me things to show me you care. :D

Today's been a weird day. Weird is the wrong word. I could go watch a movie right now, but fuck it. I rather sit home and not be out wasting money.

High school cross country has officially ended for me today. Hooray?

It kinda sucks to think of a lot of things as my last whatevers in high school. It sucks even more that I really don't give a shit. Haha. I would like to leave here. Even if I end up crawling back here broke and a complete failure. I gotta at least make those bad decisions and blow my rent on cheap crack that I won't even do first.

December's coming fast. I have to realize what it is I want out of anything now. I can't keep up this whole sit around and pretend like I'm following along business much long. Hooray for growing up and having to worry about that kind of shit.

Please don't serve me a wet burrito without a fork. I paid like 8 bucks for it. C'mon.

New Moon?

I guess I really do hate change. Sure, I can adapt, but fuck it man. They don't pay me enough to.

I'm so cool because I got rid of my facebook. I'm telling you this because you'll think I'm cool after reading it. Blahbedy blah. What sucks is that I apparently can just log in and all my stuff will still be there as if I never left. That's sneaky facebook. You clearly know that I can't resist you. It's like taking the alcohol away from the alcoholic and telling him he can have it back if he asked nicely.

Golden Silvers. Good band. I'm too lazy to go link them and stuff, but if you care you should go check them out.

I will see New Moon one way or the other. It just depends whether or not I want to offend everyone in the theater with me or wait until I can do it in the safety of my own home.

WOO!

Pearl Yam

I believe it's a common consensus that the freshmen class this year are just a bunch of assholes. Even the smart, "dorky" ones. I really could care less how long it takes for your goddamn nuclear missile to strike Russia. You really do not need to walk down the hall screaming about it at the top of your lungs and disrupting a bunch of classes.

I've all of a sudden become very interested in the song "Baby, You Wouldn't Last A Minute On The Creek" by Chiodos. I wanna learn to play it instead of doing work. I find the intro to be uber hard and the rest of the song to be kind of a joke. Jason Hale will come beat me up now.

I think the more I joke about seeing New Moon at midnight, the more it will actually come true. I don't think I can contain myself in public if I have to sit through 2 and a half hours of that crap. I might just have to fight everyone in the theater with me.

Goodnight.

Quiet sounds alarm

I had this weird dream last night that a rattlesnake bit me on my ankle and like everyone refused to take me to the hospital. I have no clue if this says anything about my future. Probably not. Probably.

FUN.



Don't you just love fun.?

I hate people who don't listen. The kind that don't even for a second take what you say into consideration. Mostly because they think they're better than you. The only way I can combat this is to ignore them. Being mean is just a waste of time and energy.

Today was one of those days when I just get super bummed out at how fast kids are growing up. By that I mean learning about all that naughty, naughty stuff 8 year olds used to giggle at. Those damn 8 year olds are probably shooting up crazy shit and doing crack now. It's 2009.

The above comment also just makes me feel freaking old. I'm 17, but I feel this enormous gap between me and like someone who is a year or 3 younger than me. I have a hard time picking up references to 80's stuff as it is and I take crap for that from friends and older people I know. Kids these days are just like "What?" to like anything remotely not in the 2000's. They don't get it. Let's hope we all die in 2012. Haha.

I meant that in the best way possible. I'm generalizing, but give it a few years and no one under the age of 20 will remember anything pre-twitter.

Sigh McSigh Sigh.

I'm totally about to see New Moon at midnight. WOOO!!!

Sweet talk

Dear and the Headlights was amazing! I bought a hoody (because I desperately need a hoody) and it's amazing!!! THEY DIDN'T FUCKING PLAY "WILLETTA" THOUGH!! WHAT THE HELL MAN!? Or an encore. They were running kinda late so I guess they couldn't fit one in. The crazy Asian dude who was just feeling the shit out of the music was hilarious. He was standing like right in front of the stage grinding up against his girlfriend the entire time and just yelling a ton of shit out and just moving around non stop. It's one thing hearing their songs on CD, but seeing it live and the whole band just going off makes it so much better. The only issue I had was that they weren't very entertaining in between songs. Jarrod Gorbel of THT is fucking hilarious and most other bands I've seen tend to slip a joke in here and there, but they were just like "We love being in San Francisco..." or "Were going to play a song called..." PLAY "WILLETTA" NEXT TIME!!!!

I'm sorry if that paragraph is hard to read.

Old Man Chicago

If you're not honest about your desires, you're probably not gonna get what you want. Or your ride will start driving off while you're waiting in line to buy what you want and you end up not getting it.

Of course, I'm talking about a mail-order bride. I was at the mail-order bride store.

My friends are planning a trip to Europe. I refuse to go because of two reasons. There is no way in hell I'll come up with about $3.5k. Even if I graduate and my parents somehow fork up that much money to just hand over to me carelessly as a graduation present, reason two will just not allow me to go. There are enough people going that I really dislike that it would be a waste of all that money to tag along. I'm the type of person who will just be bummed the whole time knowing they're around. Yes, I do not really have to talk to them nor do they really have reason to talk me the whole time, but their being there will just bug the hell out of me. Plus, these people are there to just fuck whatever they can and get drunk. That would leave me to be the voice of reason for everyone. Not a good idea.

No, I have nothing against drinking and fucking random people. I just hate stupid little boys who use it to look cool.

Done cakes.

Time To Pretend

"Creep" by Radiohead and "She Doesn't Get It" by the Format basically sum up how my life feels right now. Yes. You do the math and get back to me so I understand what I'm talking about.

I went to a Best Buy yesterday. I tried to find the Florence + the Machine album. They did not have it. I looked for any Circa Survive album. They didn't have those anymore. I looked for the Good Old War album. No. Anthony Green? Fuck no. Thank you stupid people who don't like to buy CD's for running record stores out of business. I don't care how much easier it is to click a goddamn button and download all your songs from some website. It is not the same. You get nothing tangible out of it. There's nothing to hold or look at. Some of those CD sleeves are fucking brilliant and totally . All you get from iTunes is a few files and maybe some pdf with the CD sleeve scanned in. Screw that.

MGMT is great. Guess I'm a little late on that one huh? I bet you they're gonna break up now and I'll never get to see them live.

How the vampire got AIDS

They have Domo-kun stuff at 7-Eleven. Now Larry with the sports.

I stumbled upon a band today while looking up lyrics for something. They're called Alberta Cross. They're rad. They play kinda blues-y rock and roll. Sound vaguely like the Raconteurs. I love random advertisements telling me to do things.

The field trip today was horrible. It was kinda fun when we were at the Golden Gate Raptor Observatory, but it went downhill as soon as we got to the other place. I'm officially done with field trips.

I would really like a giant hollow-body guitar. Something like a Gibson ES-135 or ES-350. Except those are really expensive now because they don't really make those anymore.

I just wanna be Jarrod Gorbel.

Psh.

Because I don't want to learn about turkey vultures...

I've been really tempted to take up smoking. Not like crack or anything crazy. Just cigarettes. That would technically not make me straight-edge anymore, but I still wouldn't drink or do drugs.

Maybe it's just because tobacco doesn't make you trip balls or impair your decision making. Haha. Maybe it's just because my dad smokes so fucking much and it's just rubbing off on me. MAYBE IT'S BECAUSE SMOKING IS RAD!!! >=O

I'm prone to making bad decisions. Yes.

Guess what? I called it. Turkey vultures don't really make a sound. Babies make this horrible hissing noise and adults occasionally will make it too, but they play it cool by keeping quiet. BOO YA! No dumb bird calling for me tomorrow!

Ten months later...I'm an alcoholic crackhead.

The Fuck Whisperer

I GET TO GO ON A FRENCH FIELD TRIP TOMORROW!!!! French III, IV, and AP are going into the city to watch some movie. What movie? I don't know. Madame wouldn't tell us. I don't care. I GET TO GO ON A FIELD TRIP!!!

Then there's a field trip on Wednesday too. That one's less exciting since I miss an entire day of school and more Neurobiology to go observe raptors (eagles and shit).

BUT WAIT!

There's more?

I get to take a field trip to Wal-Mart! Except I don't think we can get a hold of anyone important to arrange a tour of the facility with us so were just gonna go in and wander. It ties into what my History (Asia Rising) class is going over now, but I don't care to explain.

There's a glassjaw/Rx Bandits show next Friday. Then there's a Dear and the Headlights show on that following Saturday. I think I'll go to the latter since I like them more, but fucking glassjaw and RxB on the same stage is gonna be hella sick.

I probably won't get to go anyways. The first quarter of my school year is over and that means interims! Those are never happy pieces of paper.

-Allan

Ancora

This is Craig Owens. You probably know who Craig Owens is if you've been reading this thing for a while.

I didn't do anything for Halloween. Nothing really happened for Halloween. I didn't really see anyone trick or treating. Is that not hip anymore? Overall, it doesn't seem like people try all that hard for Halloween anymore. I remember when like every house in this neighborhood was all decked out in Halloween decorations. Now it's just 2-3 neighbors who barely even bothered to carve their pumpkins.

All my friends are out getting drunk and shit. Haha.

I don't mean that.

I don't tend to stay up late anymore. It's overrated and I like my sleep. That's just my excuse because I just don't have it in me to stay up past like 11 pm. Thanks coffee. I have no clue why I'm telling you this other than the fact it's almost 2 am.

Flop flop flop.

Death of auto-tune

I think asofterworld's 494th strip is my favorite thus far. I saw it and I was just like "wow" instantly. Definitely a good line someone should use in a song. Har har har.

All I can listen to lately is Circa Survive. I'm beyond stoked for their new album. They've been posting these little teaser videos of their time in some studio in Canada and what I hear in each one has been crazy good. A lot of bands post studio updates, but Circa kinda took it in a more artsy direction that gives you a reason to watch it a few times just to admire how it was shot and put together. One of them has Anthony Green singing a new song on the roof and I really like it. I hope it makes it on the album.

Armored Core 3 is on the PSP!! WOO!!! I'm like one of the four people alive that still gets excited about Armored Core. :D

-Allan

Move one inch at a time. Don't make shit rhyme

This video is all sorts of amazing. If you've never seen Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, you either only enjoy frat boy movies or you're just really missing out. I'm super obsessed with this movie too. So are a lot of other people who wanna be cool by repping this movie.

I did just use that word in all seriousness.

The song fits so well because it was written about the movie. It should have been in the movie.

Everyone wants a "dislike" button on facebook. Really? Does it matter that fucking much that you can click a fucking button to show that you dislike something? Have we all forgotten how to use words now? Can facebook just pay my bills and wipe my ass for me too?

I don't have bills to pay.....or an ass.

What is so unattractive about my blog? WHY DON'T I HAVE A BILLION READERS?! Is it because I can't spell? IS IT BECAUSE I DON'T LIKE TWILIGHT?! WHY WON'T YOU LOVE ME?! I NEED THE ATTENTION SO MUCH!!! AH MAH GAWD!!!!!!!

What the fuck was that? That's what we here on the East call a gopher.

-Allan

Battleship Graveyard

So my Asia Rising class decided to merge with the Comparative Politics class for three weeks to talk about China's economical rise and all that jazz. It is the most boring thing ever. Asia Rising by itself is awesome. Add in CoPo, it is unbearable. I straight up just fell asleep today in class.

I don't have a basement so I can't be famous.

I really wanna learn an acoustic version of "All Your Friends Are Gone" by Circa Survive. I personally think it's one of the most intense songs ever. YEAH!!!

Good day.

-Allan

English Girls Approximately

I just watch the ending for Elizabethtown again. I really do not know why I love that movie so much. Critics don't seem to think it's a good movie. I just have some weird attachment to it.



Such a good song. It probably has one of my favorite lines ever. Maybe even two. I don't know.

We were joking when we said we'd keep the baby.

Tie The Rope

I'm sick. I guess. It's not swine flu. Go big or go home body! GO BIG OR GO HOME! >=O

I have like 800 things due tomorrow, but I can't muster up the strength to work.

I'm trying out this whole Google Chrome thing out. It's shiny. That's all I have to say. I don't think I give a fuck enough to really have anything constructive to say about it. I just want internet. If it gets me internet, I'm not complaining. Great attitude to have when you spend a good chunk of your time working with computers.

Anthony Green was featured on the Alternative Press podcast some time in 2008. If you've never listened to it, I think you should invest an hour of your time doing so. He's inspiring.

I have a pot of curry to get acquainted with.

7 lives

I could be having a midlife crisis if I died at the age of 34. That's probably not how midlife crises work.

I really want a bunny suit. I don't know why. By bunny suit, I mean like a full on thing that covers the whole body. Not some dinky little thing with rabbit ears that shows off the unmentionables.

Crush on. Crush off. Crush on. Crush off.

This man is quite a genius. CCXXIIDS

Somewhere past the drive-in

You know what's fun?! Getting sick.

I'm not sick.

I probably should be sick

Spaces.

I would change the name of this blog (if that's even possible), but that would require me to make another fucking banner.

Some house burned down in my neighborhood. There were a ton of fire trucks.

I've been hearing a lot of police cars or ambulances lately. They're just constantly tearing up and down 35th. I love East Oakland?

Moo cow.

Send transmission from the one-armed scissor

I've got this bad case of the like.

Other than that, life's just fine.

Not really. It'll break when I bend.

Have you ever tasted skin?

ANGST!!! ANGST!!!

Is it sad I find this song really good?



Go white boy go!

My grades are shit. My parents hate me. Life goes on somehow. Woo!

The only reason would wanna be 21 is so I could get into like all shows. Ever.

That would require some time travel too. I guess.

I've reached the point where I think I need to stop getting new music. I've still got a hand full of albums I haven't really listened to yet and am nowhere near getting to 3rd base with.

Done.

-Allan

Julianna

Why is it my fault the internet isn't working? Why on earth do I have to explain every little detail about what I'm trying to do to fix it to you when you clearly don't understand and don't need to know? Am I an asshole that doesn't wanna help at the current moment? Yes. Have I been trying to fix it all day and am just sick and tired of it? Double yes. Fuck off.

This is good motivation to get my college shit together. I wanna leave here.

If you see a homeless person with a funny sign, he probably hasn't been homeless very long. A real homeless person is too tired to make funny signs.

Or something like that.

Oh shit! A kid in a balloon! What? He was just in a fucking box touching himself. Thanks America. We really give a shit. The fact that we can grow so attached to things like this in the blink of an eye is scary.

My plan to take over the world can also be adapted into a hit trilogy of films. I win.

Adrenaline fuels

Should even ask what the hell this ad is trying to tell me?

My mother has a job interview with some lady on the phone today. She's nervous as hell because well...she doesn't speak a whole lot of English and she's gonna have to respond in English. If I get any part of me from her, I really hope it's the ability to just bullshit your way through things and succeed. I hope she gets the job. It doesn't require speaking. You just push a ton of fucking buttons and sit in front of a computer all day.

I have to write my college essays. Finish my common app. Shoot myself in the face. Learn to love the bomb. Save the world. All before next week.

Hell yea.

-Allan

Harpalarp

I'm doing this again!

"Help us get on this tour folks! It'd be a great way to come visit everyone and just mayyybe we'll bring a new album with us!

All you have to do is...

1. Go here: http://altpress.com/surveys/aptour2010.htm
2. Tell Alternative Press you want to see You, Me, and Everyone We Know on their spring tour. We're all sick of the same bands touring together, now it's time to do something about it!
3. Repost this! Please! Thank you. Have a lovely day."

I actually like them even though they're what I consider bad pop punk bullshit. They've been really down on their luck so help em out. Put bread on their tables. Blah blah blah.

I mixed coffee with hot chocolate. I'm not sure what to think.

-Allan

Let's laugh at the politician say dumb shit.

Hey, coming up with a title that has absolutely nothing to do with anything is hard. =/

I finally learned how to play "In Fear and Faith" by Circa Survive. I've kinda known how to "play" the song for a while now, but I decided to just sit down and learn the entire song today. I get really excited when I learn stuff from bands like Circa Survive. That's why I'm talking about it.

I had this dream once where Nick Frost (Ed from Shaun of the Dead) and I started some crazy punk band called 500 Days of Fist. I wanna make that happen for reals.

Glade crips.

-Allan

2012

21+ show. Fuck mcfuck fuck. Guess I'll go see Lydia again. Or Hard Girls...finally.

I'm not quite sure why I insist on hanging out with people I really hate. Maybe it's because I really wanted to see Zombieland. I'm still not sure if it was worth listening to heaps and heaps of shit coming out of his mouth for about 4 hours. I did learn that boys really like fucking. Hooray. I don't think I'll do that I again. I really hate him.

I think I'll be exactly 21 in 2012. If we all die and everything goes to shit, at least I'll legally be allowed to buy hella alcohol. That does me a whole lot of good.

Now to catch up on sleep.

-Allan

Taste

A girl on the XC team saw my DESA shirt and was like "I really like that song "Knives to the Brain"". I got so happy it was scary. I guess I got into DESA really late so no one else was really ever excited about it when I was. It's that same feeling you get when you have just seen some really old movie for the first time and no one else really wants to talk about it. So yea, that was surprising and totally made my day.

Since AdamD doesn't read my blog, were gonna talk about him. He has this awesome project where he's gonna paint 100 different robots and sell them to people. There's still a few left so get on top of that shit now!!! He's also doing some new music-y stuff I guess. It's called Gnarboots. I'm totally gonna see this in action next Friday. That means I won't get to see Lydia next Sunday. I'll probably have more fun watching Gnarboots.

I have an entire week off next week. By that, it means I have an entire week to play catch up and write my college essays. Oh yea! I'm probably gonna finally hit up a Guitar Center or something because I've been aching to change guitar strings. Yea, I actually can't sleep at night knowing my strings are rusty(ish) and my shitty re-stringing makes them go waaaayy out of tune. I have to go conduct an interview with my French teacher too. She's writing one of my recs.

Ladies.

-Allan

Hyperventilate

I want this week to end so badly. It's basically the biggest wave of tests/papers/crazy bullshit school work I've ever had. I can't keep up with this.

There are so many things I shouldn't say to the internet. Hooray.

-Allan

When I said you look good baby

LYDIA'S COMING BACK IN LIKE TWO WEEKS!!!! If I can make it through this one, I'll most definitely go see them again.

There's this thing called Neurobiology. It's basically raping the shit out of me and making me not want to do any work. I also really hate my AP Enviromental Science class and I really, really, really, really, really regret not dropping it. OUR FUCKING TEACHER IS ON JURY DUTY FOR THREE FUCKING WEEKS! The subs really suck!! I'm totally failing that class which doesn't make it look good for me since I kinda want him to write one of my recommendations.

I'll never get a teacher to write one. All my teachers hate me. WOO!!!

I wouldn't call it being all depressed and stuff, but I really hate life at this moment. If I just like exploded right now, I'd be okay with it.

If people were easier to read, well....people would be easier to read. It would eliminate so much awkwardness and a ton of other things I'm plagued with.

I also kinda wish people were more straight forward and blunt. Say what you need or get the fuck out. You know? Stop moping the fuck around and letting it manifest in all sorts of weird ways.

Feeling diarrhea.

-Allan

It's a pattern

I'm not a very serious person. Sometimes that makes life a lot easier for me and the people around me. Sometimes it makes it really hard.

Hi.

This is much better than the original



Is this really one of the most important parts of my life? It kinda sucks.

Yes. I'm kinda tired of all this pressure to do something.

LET'S GET MORE DISJOINTED!!!! WOOO!!!

Oh okay.

-Allan

Bong load

60 years of the People's Republic of China! WOO! HOORAY!! HELLA STUFF ABOUT IT ON TV!

DESA is no longer a band. I tried to deny this, but it's true. Poop. Whatever I guess. If the dudes aren't having fun doing it, it's pretty pointless.

-Allan

Inside myself

I've been really obsessed with this song. I've been listening to it non-stop. I'm trying to learn how to play it. I keep singing it in my head and out loud.

It's a pretty bad live video. They can't sing it right....ever. Probably because most of their pre-Crack The Skye stuff was all screaming.

I sing out loud a lot. I can't control it. Are you my mother?

All Seniors get their own page in our year book. It's known as your Senior page (duh). You can decorate it and shit. Other high schools probably do this too. I wouldn't know. Anyways, I'm trying to decide between not doing anything for mine because I just don't give a shit or my other plan which is super awesome and I can only hope they let me do it. What is this other plan you ask? I would just have a semi-huge picture of Johnny Depp half-naked and smoking a cigarette on of the bottom corners and it would probably just say in huge letters "I'm right behind you." Why? Because I love Johnny Depp. Also because I was reminded that there was this band called Gay For Johnny Depp and that's kinda how the layout for their website is and it's totally awesome.

Yea!

-Allan

Enter

There was a cross country party yesterday. One of the things I did was walk around on the ground which was covered with rocks and other goodies without shoes or socks on. Now my feet are sore as fuck.

Other than that, it was fun. I have to say, that may have been one of the weirdest afternoons of my life.

One things that was brought up by the Senior girls on the team was how some of they felt our grade was really divided socially. Then they went on about how they really wanted to make friends with like every one this year. I found it really funny.

-Allan

That's what she said

I can't stop saying that.

I'm apparently getting a new phone because my parents want new phones and decided AT&T was a better company thing than Verizon. I don't know or care a whole lot. I just want it to not die after 3 hours.

I don't understand a god damn thing about playing metal. I wish I did though. Maybe if I actually applied myself to this, I would be better at it.

Old Mastodon is kinda unpleasant. It's only on recent albums that they started to sing instead of just fucking scream. I like it more when they sing.

I'm too stoked on Mastodon. I think I may in fact be pissing everyone off because all I've talked about for the past day is Mastodon. I'm awesome like that.

We had a magician at school today. He was really awesome.

Now to sleep until hella late.

-Allan

I joke

They're actually really nice tattoo artists who may or may nor be growing pot.

Chiodos let Craig Owens go. Not Craig Owens quits Chiodos. They kicked him out of the band. Really? My money's on that band going to shit without Craig. He's kinda the only reason why I listen to Chiodos so yea. If the new singer (which I doubt they'll find) doesn't sound like a girl then I'm not listening to them anymore.

I'm really, really, really, really, really stoked on Mastodon. It's just a matter of time I try to play one of their songs and become way less stoked.

Good night.

-Allan

Hot Topic punk

I was woken up at around 5 am today by this horrible humming noise. I'm not 100% sure it wasn't all in my head, but it was so horrible I couldn't sleep. I actually got up and walked around the house and I concluded it was coming either from my grandma's room or my new neighbors were doing some weird shit.

I think my new neighbors may in fact be growing pot. As soon as they move in, a handful of people on our street have complained that the electricity and stuff has been acting a bit funny. It's totally common for pot dealers to steal energy off of other people on the grid so things like PG&E can't really tell they're using all that excess power because it looks like it's running from all of us. I just hope they're shit doesn't burn down because they don't know how to set up grow lights.

Thanks guys.

-Allan

Taylor Swift gives girls all the wrong ideas. No. A slutty, brunette version of you will not be dating your neighbor who you just so happen to have this huge crush on and you won't end up dating your neighbor after slutty you fucks some other guy because in real life, that's really awkward. Stoopid.

I finally got the "new" Mastodon album. I say finally because I joke about Mastodon all the time. Not because I've been dying to hear it. It's a solid album. Awesome guitar work and awesome everything else. They do, however, have like three people singing (and not like harmonies for the most part) which can kinda be a mess live. They should get lessons from Good Old War.

I'm listening to a ton of bands I joke about all the time. Oh noes.

The Mastodon joke isn't really vicious. There's a tech/IT guy at school who has a beard and looks like he belongs in Mastodon so I joke about it.

The Paramore jokes are though.

I really wanna play guitar. Maybe I should've have wasted my down time blogging. FUCK YOU HOMEWORK AND NOT BEING ABLE TO STAY UP LATE BECAUSE CAFFEINE AND SCREWED ME UP!!!

-Allan

Wanderlust

I watched this movie late last night/early morning today called "Gigantic" only because Zooey Deschanel was in it. It was a horrible movie. The only way I can describe it is that the entire movie never really happens. It just kinda beats around the bush for an hour and a half. The movie is about this mattress/bed salesman who wants to adopt a baby from China because that's like his life's goal and he falls for this crazy lady named Happy (played by Zooey) who has commitment issues and her filthy rich dad buys this bed for $14,000 and it's just a huge mess. There's also this sub plot about some crazy homeless man who's trying to kill the main character, but that never really gets expanded on and was completely unnecessary. Maybe there is some deeper meaning to the homeless man. I can't think of any. The only people who watched this movie had to have been super hardcore Zooey Deschanel fans.

Sometimes, I feel like I've got my shit really figured out. I'm not quite sure what that means exactly, but I just do sometimes.

Tickle.

-Allan

The only thing that can explain how I got into your house

It was about only 4-5 years ago I was stoked about shit like Yellow Card. Remember that one song? I just listened to it. I wanted to punch everyone in that video in the face.

Now I listen to shit like Daughters. Change is scary.

I do talk about my feelings you dummy. That's kind of the whole point of this blog (but not at all). Wanna talk about my feelings people reading this? My AIM name thing is critterspin. I'm on all the fucking time. We'll talk the shit out of my feelings.

I bought this shirt at that show I went to. It says "It's not a fight. It's a GOOD OLD WAR." I love it.

I haven't talked about that show have I? It was amazing. The Good Old War guys came into the audience at one point because some girl asked them to play "Tell Me" and they were like "We'll come play it next to you if you want" and they did. Keith bumped into me while they were singing and decided it was a good idea to just grab me and shake me. The Honorary Title was really, really, really good. Jarrod Gorbel has to be one of my favorite people ever. His set was kinda interrupted by this drunk-ish blonde lady who kept standing in front of the window behind the stage. Jarrod made a ton of jokes about her. He even stopped half-way through a new song because he saw her making out with some guy and made up this crazy dialogue about fucking. She was apparently a friend of one of the band people I guess. Whatever.

My phone number is 510-882-3023. I don't tend to answer. Leave a message about my feelings.

-Allan

Rebel without a lot of things

Fuck me. I actually really like Every Time I Die. They're one of those bands I talk a lot of shit about because they have a horrible name. I actually thought they were one of those shitty screamo bands who look like an American Apparel catalog, but I was wrong. They're actually more like The Dillinger Escape plan which I love.

I also actually thought I would hate the new Craig Owens EP. I actually kinda don't since there's some cool stuff on it. Maybe it's just because Craig Owens isn't as big of an asshole as Jonny Craig is. Jonny Craig is a huge asshole. A huge asshole who has an amazing voice. A huge asshole who's wasting his amazing voice recording shit for his bad solo project. Let's get more Emarosa.

I'm just gonna talk about music this entire post so you can stop right here if you want.

Billy Corgan wants to release a 44 song album under the Smashing Pumpkins name. I want to stick my head in the microwave because he won't stop doing dumb shit.

I don't think I can complain enough about how people assume I know things or they assume I want to know things. Today while I was out running with the cross-country team, my friend told me he felt awkward speaking to another friend of mine because this other friend at some point (and maybe even now) had (has?) a crush on his girlfriend. That makes sense right? Work it out. He thought I knew about it. I was really taken by surprise. Now that thought is gonna pop into my head any time those three are in the same room (which happens quite often). I don't tell anyone who I have crushes on. I just don't talk about these things ever. I'm not interested in discussing these things (unless in cryptic blog form) because it's well...uninteresting to me. Why on earth would you expect me to know man?

Knowing that bit of useless information does make certain comments about that girl make more sense though. I guess. Fuck this I don't care.

That goes on a list of reasons why I really want high school to end.

Some idiot is lighting fireworks outside.

-Allan

I have an awesome urban dictionary page

I continue to grow more and more fascinated with stuff like Ratatat and instrumental music. So much so that I may or may nor end up covering "Seventeen Years" for my Senior moment. That also means I'll need something that can loop shit. I almost have kinda enough to buy that Line 6 pedal that makes awesome noises and also loops shit. Time to cheat the man and fill out more time sheets.

Okay potaytay.

-Allan

No really, I'll let you finish

I'm so bummed out about how much attention Kanye is getting from his little "stint" at the MTV "You're marginally talented here's an award" show. Is this really worthy of that much attention? Are we not at the point where we can just wag our fingers and go "Oh Kanye..."? He's just an attention whore who tries to hard to be "opinionated".

I do have to say, however, that I like Beyonce's song way better. She's at least 40 times more talented than Taylor Swift. Plus, all of Taylor Swift's videos are like the exact same fucking thing. There's a boy, she doesn't have the boy, shit happens, she has the boy. Boring. Next.

I've become really fascinated with Skidmore. I wanna go there! I'm probably not gonna get in! I should maybe but totally fill out my common app first. -.-

Why listen to The Format when you can have fun.?

Substitute People

My 8th grade teacher sent me a letter today. It's one of those "time capsule" letters they make you write and they return it to you at some point later in your life. I couldn't remember when she said she would send it, but it sure as hell is here now. I'm scared to read it. I wrote it back in 2006. That person's been long dead.

While we were cleaning out the MEW today for the dance tomorrow, we stumbled upon these two really old speakers. I was told I could have them. Now I have a new project on my hands: To make these things work and convert them into amp cabinets. All I need to do is change the input jack into 1/4'' jack and make sure the speakers work still (I was assured they could be replaced cheap). Then I'd have to paint it some color since it's an ugly brown color right now and the paint's wearing off too. It would be awesome if all of this ends up working out.

I've been unable to stay up past 8 p.m. in the past week or so. This is not good because I have piles and piles of homework to do. I've been able to bullshit through my first week of school without letting anyone know I'm behind, but if playing catch up doesn't work out this weekend, I won't last through next week.

Do you ever think that I'm just fooling everyone?

Mojo Pin

I'm really tired. I've been up 20 ft in the air way too many times today. We decorated the shit out of the upper school though. I am really proud of the amazing last minute ideas and how nicely things went. Let's just hope it doesn't all blow away by tomorrow.

Now I am fucking tired and really behind. I can't stay up too late because I have to show up early tomorrow and I just don't know how I'm gonna bullshit my way out of this one. I'm honestly ready to drop one of my classes.

BUT THERE'S AN HONORARY TITLE SHOW ON SUNDAY!!! I really shouldn't go since I have to play catch up all weekend, but fuck it. I love them/him way too much. Plus, Good Old War is gonna be there too so more awesome.

Rabbit Heart

YEA!! WOO!! Let's all jizz in our pants cause the awesome, awesome president is on TV. I don't really know what he said because I didn't watch it so I can't talk shit. But I did read people's reactions to it on twitter (fuck me) and it made me uneasy. It's because some people basically idolize him, I feel like it's all still a gimmick. I would love to see him fuck up and then all these fucking idiots immediately turn the other cheek and slander him.

I don't dislike our president. That's not what I'm trying to say. It doesn't fucking matter. I just get upset when important things like this get turned into something that feels like it's just a fad and there's nothing else to it.

I might possibly get to run around dressed like a giant bird with antlers. You didn't hear that from me though.

There's this band called Liars. They have this song called "Plastic Casts of Everything". There's a music video for it. I think more music videos need to be like it.

I try hard to just be indifferent with most people I have nothing in common with. I don't wanna talk to you really, but if you say something to me, I'll respond with a nice and non-snarky comment. Hell, the fact that I'll respond is good in my book. But there are certain people I just can't even speak to because I can't think of anything nice to say to them. I hate every fiber of your being. I hate what you are. I hate what you do. I hate how fucking arrogant you are. I hate having two fucking classes with you. I don't get how people can get like that. How anyone can get to that point where they actually think they have something over everyone else. Where they think what they say goes and everything else is dumb. Where they think they know you from 10 second conversations and what other people say. You open your mouth and I'm just so blown away at the amount of shit that comes out of it that I actually cover my ears sometimes. I can do this for quite a few pages. Why oh why do you have to force me to be anywhere near these people life?

Homework is not getting done.

This has been an angry-ish post. I'm sorry? This is what happens when I'm tired.

I feel bad for not finding any value in dropping a ton of money for getting a Senior portrait? Oh, I'm so cool for not having shit on my Senior page. Har har har. The only people who will be bummed are my parents. I guess. Whatever. I bum them out enough by not ending up like half the shit they wanted me to end up like. A little more couldn't hurt.

I am done. FUCK MCFUCK FUCK FUCKETY FUCK FUCK! I swear because it keeps you listening.

Keep secrets

Happy birthday website that allows creepy old men to read about my life. I love you. Kinda. We should see other people.

The new Saosin album isn't as bad as I was kinda thinking it would be. I actually enjoy a good chunk of it. Maybe I just don't like em that much anymore because Cove (that's his real name I assume) sounds horrible live when not playing an acoustic set.

There is too much homework. I think I'm already falling behind since I didn't exactly do any of the Summer assignments and missed a day of French. Hooray. I have 6 free periods total which is weird compared to my 8-10 in previous years. Most of those free periods will be spent bitching about setting up something for someone. Being a Senior is awesome possum.

I'm looking forward to sleeping tonight.

Burning dollah

I'm really interested in pin-up girls. So much so that I'd consider getting a tattoo of one so I could regret it 40 years later. My guitar strap is covered in them so I guess that'll have to do for now.

I had this really weird dream. Not because of what happened in it, but because of what I felt after it (you dirty, dirty person thinking dirty, dirty things after reading that sentence). Most of it made no sense so I'll skip to the part where it got interesting. I was in this hallway inside of some abandoned building with these two kids who had a remote controlled car. I was just kinda standing off to the side watching them as they ran around like 5 year olds with a bad crack addiction. They run off to the one end of the hallway and turn around the corner so I go after them because I guess I was looking after them or something. I barely make it past a few steps when they come running back, but I hear more footsteps with them. Following the kids are these two dogs, one was like a white poodle and the other was a police hound (black with like brownish parts), and they were all giddy and excited like dogs are when they see people. Blah blah blah more running. I go back to where I was standing. The kids chase the dogs down the other end of the hallway which has a huge door that I assume is locked so they turn back. It's at this time that one of the dogs comes towards me. In my head I'm thinking "Don't bite me, don't bite me, don't bite me..." What do you know? The dog takes a nibble at my knee. It's right there that I wake up and it feels like my knee just got bit. Weird right? I should stay off the crack.

Now to read and entire book before tomorrow and hope all my homework is done.

-Allan

Unhealthy obsession with red heads

I feel like I've been hit by a car. That implies I've been hit by a car before.

There's nothing like spending an entire day with your class mates that makes you realize how much you wanna just graduate and leave all their bullshit behind. Maybe I just have no clue what bullshit is, but oh my gorsh. Some of the stuff that came out of people's mouths made me cringe. I've no actual issues with any of you though so it's okay to keep mailing cookies to my fan club.

We had a little "talent show" during fallout. It was kind of entertaining. Some people could actually sing. I enjoyed it. Mr. Vann did the bottle thing where he puts it down on the floor from his forehead without using his hands again and now I can safely say it never ceases to amaze me. Your's truly almost got up and did something, but the kid in the corner who kept getting up and wanting to play ANOTHER song made me change my mind. You could have it dude. You clearly want it more.

I'm so snarky. SNARK MCSNARK SNARK!!!

Sometimes it's because I don't have to balls to say these things to these people I write them here and get a few cheap laughs. Other times it's because these people are so busy blowing themselves that anything I say will not have the desired effect so I don't even bother.

Should I wipe my ass with a rake?

-Allan

You're standing way too close...

...and she's not that into you. Or maybe she is. I don't know or care a whole bunch.

What the fuck am I talking about?

We have a new girl from Hungary. This creepy guy I wanna punch in the face because he's such a smartass is all over her already. End of oh so exciting story.

I head out to sleep on the floor outside in less than an hour. Hooray?

I'm a Senior now. I don't feel like one. I probably won't ever get the chance to sit on our side of the MEW and stomp my feet a lot and scream real loud with the other Seniors every time some teacher says "SENIORS!!!" because I'm backstage clicking buttons and not giving a shit. :D But whatever. It'll be a good year. I'm ACTUALLY in Tech Theatre this year. The world's gonna fucking end now. If you don't understand that joke, I've been helping out the Tech Theatre folks with plays for the past 2-3 years of my high school life. I've never been in that class once or had to actually do any of the work I was asked to do. I just wanted to hang out with people and watch free plays. This year I'll be graded for hanging out and watching free plays.

I'm a smartass. Maybe me and smartass creepy guy should actually be best friends. I hear myself say things and am fully aware what comes out of my mouth whether you believe that or not. Half the time, I wanna punch myself in the face. The other half, I'm so proud of myself.

Buh bye.

-Allan

I'm not funny

Thank you. Thank you all my loyal followers and your loving comments.

Har har har. :D

School technically starts on Wednesday, but I have to go tomorrow to pick up my schedule and take a photo of me that will eventually go on a plastic card and several sheets of photo paper and a giant book that other people can write dumb shit in. And I have to be told to be a Senior and not go "RAWR!!!" AT all the little children but instead WITH all the little children.

College. Oh man. Don't get me started on college. I'll have to see my counselor and have an awkward "I haven't done shit this Summer that will help me out with college" talk with her.

The Jonny Craig solo album? I'm not feeling it at all. This leads me to conclude I'll hate the Craig Owens solo album as well since it'll probably sound like Cinematic Sunrise and I don't like Cinematic Sunrise. Any band with some variation of "cinema" or "scene" or "aesthetic" in their name sucks. That's a law of nature.

(Remember that previous paragraph so you can make me feel dumb when I fall for a band with any of those words in it)

What's with all these solo albums coming from all these post-hardcore-ish band's lead singers? Anthony Green, in my opinion, is the only one who's pulled it off so far. Cove from Saosin, you're next buddy.

Enough music talk. Let's talk about prison rape.

The winds are not on our side

I'm back in America! Okay.

"Real life starts again. Har har har!"

Thanks dad.

Here is where the original post stops.

This is what we in the showbiz business of businessing call "lose 100 pounds you fat bitch you look like a cow!"

Things I've missed about the good ol' You es of ay:

1. People actually following traffic laws.
2. Cold. Thank god I got out from SFO so I got a face full of cold the minute I left the airport.
3. youtube. I need my cute kitten videos!
4. Porn
5. Doritos
6. Coffee at my diposal 24/7

Yea. YEA!!!! I hate airplanes. Flying is just way too boring. The stewardesses for my aisle were actually kinda pretty this time though. Still doesn't make the flight less boring. Go watch "Is Anybody There?" It's a good movie.

-Allan

Things are getting heavy

My great-grandma passed away around 2 a.m last night. I can now safely say that every time I'm woken abrubtly in the middle of the night, something bad has happened. She was about 95 and has refused to eat anything for weeks. She had a really high fever when we visited her yesterday afternoon and yea. I'm very disoriented and trying very hard to absorb all of this since it happened so fast. I guess I'm glad I could be here to see her go. She looked after my mom, my uncles, and I when we were children and was a very caring person.

So yea, no happyfunjoy blog post today. Sorry.

-Allan

Her name was Aubrey

Sometimes, things happen accidently that make me realize that a lot of rather important details about my family are kept away from me. I only learn about these things when someone's drunk or like years and years later when it doesn't matter anymore. I personally am okay with it since it just leaves less for me to worry about and I guess they think it's stuff I shouldn't worry about either. When I do learn about these things, it's always very "Woah, had no fucking clue that was happening..." They're not all bad things either. Just very large and hard to swallow in one sitting things.

That last sentence came out way wrong.

ZOOEY DESCHANEL! TOMMY FROM THAT ONE SHOW A BILLION YEARS AGO! SONG I REALLY LIKE!! THANK YOU FOR SHARING!!!! I really wanna see her do some song with her husband to be a.k.a Ben Gibbard from Death Cab. I'd blog all over that.

"Why do you wear a lock?!"

WHY AREN'T YOU A SEX PISTOLS FAN!? >=O

-Allan

This song was written by a serial killer

I spend a good amount of time in my aunt's office which has a laptop so I can do this. She works for some company that sells lingerie. There are giant posters of women with barely any clothes on everywhere and I'm the only other guy in the office (I get dirty looks when I stare at them). This leads me to my next point.

Seeing as all of my relatives here do work that involves shopping centers and buying crap, I see a ton of posters of people posing and trying to sell whatever brand of crap. They aren't like super famous models either. Super famous models are seen over and over again and get interviewed and stuff. The only proof that these people in the posters exist is the fact that they're standing their dressed uber hip and smiling at you. This leads me to wonder sometimes where these people are today. Are they still dressed uber hip and living the life or are they doing porn to try to get by?

We have a ton of fast food restaurants here. They've invaded the shit out of where I live. We have like two fucking Wal Marts. But there is not a single Starbucks. Okay, I don't like Starbucks all that much, but they're fucking everywhere so I was kinda hoping they would've opened a store here so I could get my fix. Nope. Fuck me. They're just gonna leave me here to die.

Beep beep boop.

-Allan

ROFLCOPTER

I've been here for like 2 days now and nothing has really happened yet. People aren't really down with drinking coffee all that much here so I've been going without it. That basically means I feel like shit. Yes.

My baby cousin is silly and really hyper. He also pees very spontaneously and without any warning. He almost went on my guitar case. That's the last time I leave it on the floor.

A couple thousand miles away and I'm still sitting on my butt in front of a laptop. Hooray. Now I'm gonna go run around screaming at people who don't understand me.

I will try not to keep doing this for the next few weeks. You read that right. Now go outside and rob a bank or something. Stop playing video games. Eat your vegetables. Don't read this and take it seriously person monitoring my posts.

-Allan

CGI sucks

This is where the picture of me bored as hell in the Hong Kong airport goes. Sadly, I can't figure out how to work the webcam on this labtop. This isn't my laptop. I rolled some fool and stole his (but not really).

The flight was boring as hell. No one sat next to me. I was all the way in the back in my two-person row. I did get to finally see "The Boat That Rocked". It's a realy good movie. Not enough Gemma Arterton though. She's really perty. Other than that, it was great. I watched that crappy Wolverine movie too. The CGI in that film was horrible. That part where he's cutting the fire escape with his claws was so bad I had a hard time holding back my laughter. They also totally raped Gambit. He wasn't Cajun at all. Fuck you person who directed that movie. Now I have to kill 12-14 hours doing god knows what. I'm gonna make 800 trips to Starbucks as soon as this laptop runs out of juice and I have nothing better to do.

I am a horrible traveler. I keep forgetting to take my belt off during security and I just had to drag my fucking guitar with me. That thing is causing me nothing but grief right now. Everytime I check in for a flight, the person's like "We might not have enough room to store that on the plane so you might have to check it in (and let the people who handle the luggage destroy it)". I haven't had to yet. I've got one more flight and I hope I still won't have to.

I feel weird blogging in public. Plus, some guy behind me keeps looking over. Haha.

I don't even know what gate my flight is gonna be at yet. I probably won't for another few hours. Now I'm gonna go wander..

When Punk Goes Bad Haircuts And Skinny Jeans Goes Crunk

I can't remember what day it was, but it was sometime after I got my new contacts. We were driving into San Francisco from Oakland. You get a decent view of downtown with all the tall buildings and houses littered all over the place. The first thought that ran into me head was "I wish I had a katamari..." Yep. That game totally fucks up the way you look at things.

-Allan

P.S. Florence and the Machine totally stole my idea. If you go look through their pictures on their myspace, there's a picture that I can only assume Florence drew of a bird and it says "Fuck You" on the side. That's my steez. I want royalties for that! >=O

Wilco (the blog post)

No one plays math rock and roll anymore. Nope.

It could be the result of my lack of sleep and poor eating habits, but I've been finding staring at any form of quick movement to be a painful experience. I get dizzy and I just wanna lie down.

That sentence was good. Years of English just chucked out the window.

I got a new prescription for my contacts. I can actually see everything crystal clear again! It's like life went HD on me. I guess it's my fault for not complaining about not being able to read stuff far away even with glasses on.

I wonder if they forgot to send me my schedule or if they're just trying to find a nice way to tell me they don't want me anymore. I have to order my books and if I don't get anything within the next 5 days, I probably will have to order them from China. I've also completely forgotten about the AP Enviromental Science assignment. I will have to BS a lot of stuff and hope it works out.

I need ways to overcome a 14 hour flight then a 12 hour layover. Knowing the stupid company that does all the flights back to where I live, it will probably end up being delayed for another 12 hours and I end up spending an entire day in the Hong Kong airport. I can probably still tell you the layout of the Hong Kong airport because I've spent too much fucking time there.

-Allan

Broke bitches go on tour

So my uncle in China had a baby a while back. He's suppose to be really fat and apparently looks exactly like me when I was a baby. That's besides the points. We send em baby formula and stuff because the formula in China is not safe nor is it actually all that healthy.

Fast forward to today.

I was having lunch with my parents when my mom all of a sudden decides it's a better idea to send me with a heavy suitcase back to china than to just ship the crap to them. So, I'm gonna go spend a few weeks in China and make it back like a day or two before school starts. Hooray! Eat that Cabal! I can't play you from China.

This means I get to miss the Matches show. I won't make the RXB show either. Poop.

Maybe I'll bum a bit of guitar gear off my filthy rich uncles. That makes me sound like an asshole. Har har har.

Vietnam! Fishing trips! ITALIAN OPERA!!

Keys to the good life

Are they allowed to swear in TV shows in the UK? Spaced has a ton of swearing in it and it's not bleeped out. They kinda swear on the UK version of the Office, but there were definitely a few episodes that featured dildos that were not censored. So I don't know. Do you live in the UK? Do you watch TV? Will you answer my question? Are you my mother?

I'm really stoked for the new Alice in Wonderland movie. I haven't been this stoked for a movie in a long time.

I think I may in fact go to that Matches show next month since I have other reasons to be in the city anyways. Now I have to buy a ticket.

There's this anime called Neon Genesis Evangelion. It may in fact be my favorite of all time and then some. Apparently the creators are putting out a series of four movies that are basically an updated version of the 26 episode anime. By update I mean shinier robots, more CG crap, new story/plots points that were left out in the original series and possible the worst choice ever: Less Asuka (although I'm not sure of this since I haven't seen all of them, but from what I've read she's already half-dead by the end of the second movie). Two of the movies are out now. I'll hopefully be able to see the first one tonight. Hopefully it'll be just as confusing and fucked up as the original anime was. If you haven't seen Eva, it is a really, really fucked up show and very hard to follow because it's very deep (at least for a dummy like me). The filler episodes feel like an acid trip.

There's suppose to be some sort of Asian Man Records thing going on at Bottom of the Hill this Friday. I think I might go since Mike Park (guy who runs the label) will be there and maybe some of the people I know that know Mike Park will be there and I could see if they are interested in an unpaid helper monkey. DREAM BIG!!!!

SHAMWHATTHEFUCK?!

Tramp stamp

Today has been bad. I have a head ache. It won't go away. I've been really out of it. I walked into the bathroom with my coffee mug when the initial plan was to head into the kitchen first to put the mug in the sink then use the bathroom.

The good thing is Monsters of Folk. Take Bright Eyes, throw the singer from My Morning Jacket in there and add M. Ward and you've got Monsters of Folk. They are playing a show in Oakland at the Fox Theater. I can't remember when since I got too excited when I saw Oakland was on the list of tour dates. Cool bands don't really play Oakland venues. They'll occasionally hit up the Oracle, but that's usually some really famous band I don't really wanna go to the fucking Oracle to see (I hate the Oracle).

The Honorary Title is gonna play Bottom of the Hill in September. Like I haven't been to Bottom of the Hill enough times. LET'S GO AGAIN!! :D

Someone is doing karaoke somewhere near my house. It's really loud and really bad. Did I mention I have a horrible headache? It's switching from like old 80's power ballads to mariachi stuff. What the fuck?

I watched this movie called "Sylvia". If you can guess what its about and who stars in it, you could win a pony. Except if I could afford a pony, I probably don't need to blog about my headaches.

I also watched "Sex Drive". It's another one of those "I wanna get laid, but instead I learn important life lessons and that girl who's my best friend ends being more than just my best friend" type of movies. I guess I kinda liked it but not really. It wasn't very funny in my opinion. When a movie like that isn't funny, it's just shallow and 2 hours of random tits and cocks (I happened to have watched the unrated version which promised a lot more tits and cocks in the first minute of it). What I liked about that movie was probably Amanda Crew and Seth Green.

Very well little brother, very well.

Windows Media Player

Have you ever been just bummed out for absolutely no reason? Yes you have. I was feeling like shit yesterday. I think I'm recovering from whatever the hell that was, but who knows?

I watched "Mysterious Skin". It was a good movie. That scene where that crazy guy basically rapes him is like the funniest/saddest things I've seen in a while. Funny because he was just yelling "SLUT!! SLUT!! RAWR!! SLUT!!!" the whole time and I find random screaming funny. Sad because well....the kid got raped.

Matt Embree plays the exact same guitar as I do. Except he's in the RX Bandits and rips. xD

Speaking of guitars and playing, I've learned a good handful of songs by the Strokes. If Nick Valensi ever dies for god knows what reason, call me Strokes. We can work something out.

Okay. Time to attend my Cabal Players Anonymous meeting so I can kick the habit.

-Allan

This Goes on the Record

I should probably start doing stuff. July went by fast and college hell is ever so close. Maybe playing video games all day and not sleeping or eating right isn't such a good idea.

In other news, I kinda learned how to play an acoustic version of this song called "Morning Exercise" by an awesome little band (well, maybe not "little") from Oakland called The Heavenly States. Okay, the song is like only two chords (F and Bb I think), but whatever. Go buy their album "Delayer" and tell me I'm a dummy and can't learn things by ear.

It's amazing how much awesome music you can find by listening to Break This City. Hard Girls? Best band ever that I keep not going to see live. There. That was another plug. Do I get paid yet?

So for whatever reason, I've had to convince a good handful of people I don't drink (baby blood that is). I tell them that and they always respond like I've just killed their first born child or something: "WHAT?! You DON'T drink? How? Why? Adverb! SUBJECT!" I'm always reluctant to respond with "I'm fucking seventeen you fucking asshole. Why is that surprising that I don't do something that kinda isn't legal at all for someone my age?" Am I missing out on something? Are folks my age actually just fucking getting wasted every other minute and I'm just that out of the loop? Am I giving my generation too much credit? Will anyone ever know all the lyrics to "Hey Sandy"?

When there's nothing else to talk about, we talk about drinking and drugs motherfucka.

I have a crush on Gwyneth Paltrow. Thanks Ironman.

I have a bigger crush on Zooey Deschanel. So much so, I will cut you if you bad mouth her in the comments section (which probably makes you wanna do that). I wanna see 500 Days of Summer. It has Tommy from 3rd Rock From The Sun in it too. Remember that show? Wasn't the best? There's this awesome video of them pretending to be Sid and Nancy (you can find it through wikipedia). Zooey is wearing a rabbit lock. I dorked out really hard when I saw that cause it basically is the exact same one I'm wearing....all of the time. Then I hid in my closet, lit the candles on my Zooey Deschanel shrine, and sacrificed a vegan hipster kid.

It is late. Yes. 2:50 in the a.m.

Hi.

-Allan

P.S. I really wanna write script to a movie that goes completely backwards. Fuck that whole Eternal Sunshine steez where it's all out of order. I'm going backwards. It'll probably get stale within the first three seconds.
