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

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.

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.

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.

Body shop

I say I don't need her, but I know it's a lie.



From behind, I kinda look like Steve Choi in that video...

Har har har.

I will try my best to not be such an asshole. Good day.

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?

-Allan

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.

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.

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.
