California Supreme Court

is LAME.
But that is not what this post is about. This post is about summer!

What are you guys doing???? I’m doing absolutely nothing! Except summer school…..but that’s okay

Mmm…I saw some movies these past few days. Star Trek, X-men, and Angels and Demons. They were all pretty good. I’m taking my brother to see Up on Monday too.

Also: I saw Death Cab for Cutie concert last night. They were doing this lounge thing and a friend got free tickets. It was pretty decent…I fell asleep. I mean their music is deep and well rounded, but it makes me so sleepy.

A few days ago I was up late mixing CDs as goodbye presents for some friends…I was thinking that I should make CDs for you guys too. Cuz you pretty much are my friends, right? I’ll find some online playlist thing and email them to you or something. As like a tribute to the nearing end of BlogTown.

I feel upbeat. But I’ve been sleeping a lot more. I think sleep is good for me.

So I was listening to that new Britney Spears song If U Seek Amy…and do you know what I heard? I noticed that it was pretty gramatically incorrect. “All of the boys and all of the girls are begging to If U Seek Amy” But guess what? She’s really spelling out “EFF U C K Me” Go listen to it and you’ll understand. Haha….

Sorry about the rambling post. I just felt like talking

Oh yeah. I thought this was pretty funny:

Yeah, I got more records than the K.G.B

^^^That’s not actually true…..just a song lyric

Hey so here are some songs that I’m into right now:

Signs – Bloc Party (ehhhh it’s pretty mellow but it reminds me of this music box one of my sister had, and it’s one of those sensory memory kinda things.)

Fireworks – Animal Collective (these guys trip me out every time I listen to them)

Electric Feel – MGMT (I thought it was just a subtle metaphor  for sex, but it’s also about  a wild Amazon lady that can shock people lol)

Ocean Breathes Salty – Modest Mouse

Asleep – The Smiths (I haven’t listened to them in soo long, this song always puts me to sleep…hence the title)

Know Your Enemy – Green Day (I hate Green Day’s new stuff but this song is horribly catchy)

Starstukk – 3oh!3 ( You can make fun of me for liking these guys, but it’s not going to change anything )

Videotape – Radiohead (Has anyone listened to their new album?)

That’s all for now.

Dude I’m so angry right now. Friday is our city’s Jazz Festival. It’s the one day where I’m free from everything. I was gonna go with my friend and just chill…however my dear father decides to ground me for the weekend for “talking back”. Okay so I admit that I was “talking back” but it was for a good reason. He wanted me to make him a bowl of ramen and I was like running out of the door so I could make it to my ASB meeting. So, no jazz festival for Brian. I get to wash windows and paint the garage door.

I guess I can work on my tan while I’m at it. I’m practically albino still – even after track and drumline.

I just reread that last sentence, and I sound so ridiculous.

Hey so I just got through with The Great Gatsby. I need some recommendations for a few weeks of last minute book reports. Please?

Also some music recommendations would be cool. I’m downloading stuff tomorrow.

Cya,
Brian.

Love The Convo On Authors

Allo Ladies,Gents, And Its! Its Opus!..again. Sorry ’bout the double post, but it has been raining for 4 days now and i got bored.  I see Steller from www.stellercheats.wordpress.com has quit. And as a shout out to her as requested by a friend, though the phrase i am yet to fuly comprehend, LOVE THE CONVERSATION ON AUTHORS. He can explain this if he wants, i dunno if stella would understand it, i sure don’t LOL. Anyways, ever wonder why most people leave? Well i wondered this too, but now i understand, and i discussed this with Olly( if you remember him ) on WLM. Olly said that he quit because of all the stupid drama that happens on wordpress, the petty arguments, and everyone talking about everyone behind everyones backs, and i quite and agree with him, and before you tell us to grow a pair and put up with it think about how stupid most fights on wordpress are, and pointless. Another reason is that blogging isnt worth it sometimes, and it gets boring. Or if a computer breaks you cannot get on, and usually thats the case, other times people get busy with other stuff and forget about their blog.

Ways to make your blog more active:

1. ADVERTISE! Do not expect the people to come to you, you bring the people to you

2. Post! They won’t  come if you dont keep it updated!

3. Pimp Your Blog! Make them think ”THIS BLOG LOOKS COOL!”

4. Always Look On The Bright Side Of Life! BEEEE HAPPYY!!

5. Dont be negative, be positive, and all will go well.

Farewell Friends,

                                          Opus!

Tired Of Depressing Stuff?

Tired of constantly hearing about The Recession? Tired of opening the funnies and seeing the comic Marvin must constantly try to mention the recession with the grandparent characters? Tired of hearing about the newly named Swine Flu? Tired of hearing about Democrats And Republicans going at each others throats? Well do not fear! This post will avoid all reference to that annoying crap. Today we talk Favorites. First i list my favorite authors:

5. H.G Wells

4. Jack london

3. Dr. Suess

2. Jules Verne

1. Mark Twain

Now for favorite Planet:

My Favorite planet is Neptune. Why Neptune? Because it has the fastest winds in the solar system, it is blue, it’s natural satellite Triton might have water in it and possible could sustain life, its the last planet in the solor system, it is one of our most mysterious planets, and it gives somewhat of a illuminous calming feeling when seen in picture. Great planet tis is.

Now to new horizons. Did you know that a spacecraft called New Horizons is on a voyage to Pluto to observe and send the first pictures of pluto. It should be there in 2015.

I am happy to say i’ve never twatted

I am learning German right now

Well thats all from me!

Breakfast With My Shadow

So spring break was pretty nifty. I saw everything in Washington D.C that I wanted to see, so I guess it was satisfying. My mama + my little brother were killing me with the whole tourist thing - taking pictures of EVERYTHING, asking EVERYBODY directions, insisting on taking the trolley EVERYWHERE….but I can’t complain because I have no money to fund the expenses for that trip and being a tourist is the whole point of vacations. But yeah. I hope you all (or just Zipo if it’s just Zipo reading this) had a good break.

Jeez my esophagus is hurting like heck. My capillaries are screaming. I feel like I’ve just ran a mile. I hate being sick.

Umm. Well prom is next week. That will be cool.

I feel really submissive…but it’s hard for me to explain because it’s just too vague of a topic. Dude. Luke chapter 15 is killing me, I think. Also, I got laid into at jazz band practace yeterday, because I haven’t been practicing like I should. My solo sounded like crap. I’m humiliated.

We’re reading Romeo and Juliet in English. I’m Benvolio. I hate the whole story. Stupid kids. But I like Benvolio y Mercutio okay.

So this girl I know was talking about stereotypes and hypocrisy. It was a pretty heated discussion actually. She goes on about how people catagorize goths and wannabe-athletes and smart asses and druggies and how wrong it is. Then she gets on the topic of “preps” and I didn’t even know what a prep was. So I asked her and she said that they were people that wore a lot of expensive clothing and talked a lot about shallow things. And she said that she personally didn’t like “those kind of people, because they are ignorant and hypocritical” But then I got even more confused because two minutes before she was telling me she thought stereotyping was stupid. So I tell her this. And she got pissed. And won’t talk to me.

This is my girlfriend that’s pissed too. It’s so tiring.

Also. I don’t like people who talk to me about all of things that they have exposed me to. Music. Movies. Ect. They automatically expect credit for things that I love just because they happened to influence me to love those things in the first place. Like if someone sees their favorite band on my iPod that they had previously recommended, they get all excited and their egos rise to insanity. Or if they tell me they love this movie and I go out and rent it, they don’t ask me if I liked it, they talk about how much they liked it. I mean….I do appreciate it, if someone suggests I watch or read or listen to something, and I end up enjoying whatever I watch or read or listen to. But sharing something isn’t supposed to boost your self esteem. It’s about how much a person loves something you share. Does this make any sense? I know I’m ranting…it’s just something that irritates me.
“I would give someone a record so they could love the record, not so they always know that I gave it to them”

Gosh, I’m sorry about the ramblings.  I have nowhere else to write these things down. Hey as soon as I practice a little bit, I’ll come back and update the Entertainment page. I promise.

Here listen: it’s music! Time To Pretend – MGMT. It’s kinda techno. Kinda. Listen to it!

And now for something completely different

I have been in this ”blogging” business for almost 2 years now, and I feel that my timer has ran out. All my old friends, with the exception of Brian,Zipo, Narnia, and Steller, have either quit or have started ignoring old friends for new *cough* not naming anyone*cough*.  Since I have been through a lot in wordpress I will miss it, and may pop in a few times later. As far as I am concerned my time has been up, all these new bloggers about, and me being here from the time of posting and actually responding to peoples comments, such a trait died long ago.. Infact many people don’t even conceder the thought of actually going to their blog and seeing whats going on. I am terribly sad that this has happened but it has, the age of me being here is over, I am an artifact who does not make interesting posts anymore, I am an old man in blogging years, but this is okay for I accept this, and it could not have come in better time. I am now starting to think about track, I am biking more(even did 28 miles today in the hilly ups and downs of the Ozarks), and i am climbing more mountains in the summer. I have tests to take at school and more socializing to do. I have enjoyed my blogging years, I have enjoyed working at the sites I work a only the fact that when I leave noone will remember me will depress me. Everyone that actually gave a damn have left except for a few. I will definitly miss those already gone away, some without a mention. Those people are

Olly(still talk to him on MSN though)

Logan(long gone somewhere)

Spongekid3(i dunno)

Giambinny(still I dunno)

Josh(did the same as me but earlier, sad really but i still email him)

Mark(pengi, left without a trace)

I cannot recall any others. Sorry if you were forgotten, I know how it feels.

So yes, i quit, It is not out of pite,depression,or just plain boredom, but out because I know I don’t go on here a lot, and I know you know too. So Cheer up, and Always Look On The Bright Side Of Life!

Opus Out, Peace Out. (Monty Python, and George Carlin For Ever *hold up peace sign*) ( BUSH SUCKS!) (Obama Rules) (And Now For Something Completely Different…. The End Of Opus)

Bankrupt A Blue Sky

Hey. What’ s up?

I finished my wallet.

Hey so it’s almost been a year since I started my first blog. Look how much has changed… Anger Management was my best blog and it was less lonely. I posted like every 3 days and had around 200 hits every 24 hours. But it’s okay. This blog kinda represents a mellow-er personality of mine. It’s quiet and nearly everybody has left (thank you for your loyalty Zipo7…and Npengi.) but it’s still running. And I’m still here. If you have any questions or just want to talk to Peaceoutdude, then go ahead.  I. Am. Still. Here. Where’d everybody else go? Don’t tell me you’re busy because everybody is busy. How about every time you sit at your computer to do homework or check your facebook, look up on a few blogs. Make somebody’s day. Say hello every once in awhile.  Yeh get it?

Yeah. So anyways…spring break is finally here for me. Tomorrow I’m going to yet another drumline competition, a party or two, and catching up on sleep. Sunday = church. Monday = Airport. I hate airplanes. I really do. Wish me luck. Next week = Washington D.C I’m not a real history guru but I think I’ll enjoy it. I’ll take some pictures of important things like my shoes and the road map and the hotel continental breakfast sign.
I hope you all had or will have a great Spring Break. (Stupid education board banned Easter Break )

Ummmm….what else. Did you guys hear about San Diego state college accidentally sending like acceptance forms to 26,000 rejects? Yeah…I thought it was hilarious.

Ummmmm…….I dunno. I’m really tired. My throat hurts. I hope it’s not Strep because I’ll kill myself if I’m sick over Easter break. By the way, watch out for those Easter Bunnies. Some are actually fat hairy men in costumes.Is that not the scariest thing you’ve ever seen? —->

Princess Buttercup is a Stupid Name.

3OH!3 is playing in our city in two weeks. It’s an AP tour…lots of mainstream radio crap, but I like this band. I’m stoked. I’m writing this long list of concerts I’ve seen and that I need to see, but you guys probably don’t care about reading it so I’ll keep it on my bedroom wall.

Is anybody going to see any concerts playing in their area any time soon? If so tell me about it.

Yeeahhh so it’s almost April. The school year is nearly over. This year has been weird.

You know how in tv shows whenever someone is having a bad day it rains? And their walking home alone in the dark and a car next to you drives through a puddle creating a splash of muddy water that completly drowns you immdediatly making you feel ten times worse? Haha yeah, that just happened to me. Tide2Go sticks are my heros.

So where is everyone? I’ve been talking to Zipo…we’re beginning to wonder if this is the end. Depressing is it not? That’s why you should take 3 seconds to comment this post, so it doesn’t get lonely all the time. Ya dig?

Here: Thought you might like this. It’s a poster on how music effects (affects?) your SAT score.

Back In The U.S.S.R

Halito! Opus Here! I just finished listening to an awesome Beatles song and felt like making this post.[guess which one;)]I was inspired to make this one type of post when I was listening to this song in our local Books A Million. I was searching through Oxford Classics and thought, lotsa stuff here I could make fun of. And soooo..Here I am . This post will contain subtle cultural references that you will have to find yourself. Now to my story..

“I was walking along the long,narrow rows of our local Books-A-Million when I noticed a book I may like reading, I thought ‘my my this looks like a good book,looks like 4 or 5 books still in stock neatly stacked togethor. I took one of the books and saw i had picked up all 5 of the books, i then saw it was not 5 books but 1. I was shocked. I put the book down, walked away and though,’WHAT THE HE**!!!  This dude had no life to write such a long book! Good lord!’ I walked away from the aisle and would never want to see another ” War and Peace” book again.  I then walked to  the comic section and read my favorite comic,Pearls Before Swine,and sat down on  a seat. I sat there for quite some time while boys and girls of my age walked past looking at the nearby magna books ,which are written backwards and opens from the back, and some adults look at new romance books. Then a lady that loked middle aged and a man walked past swifly in the aisle in front,the comics, of me. The lady said ‘And do tell, whats this aisle about?’. My right brain,as Lewis Black would put it, then said to my left side of the brain ‘its dark in here’ ‘i think everything stopped’. I was sitting there looking where the lady and man used to be with my eyes wide open thinking i better not think of this for long seeing how blood my come out my ear and nose. I then resumed reading about the crocodiles and angry rats in my facorite comic.”

I shall name that ”The Books A Million Story” thank you, thank you *crickets*

I shall now listen to Revolution 9 while reading Animal Farm and begin by decent into madness.

(Yes Frontwards and Back wards )
