  I'm Not The Type To Say I Told You So... BUT I TOLD YOU SO
So you know that song where you need the gigantic thumbs? Well, I've learned most of it. God damn you John Mayer and your huge hands. If I only had the video from Last Call or even the MP3 it would be a lot easier to learn, but I can only watch in the DVD. If I could only do the John Mayer leg as well the Matthew Sweet foot. Good ole' Mathew Sweet foot.

Man, I love the stupid W network. From 4:30 - 6 they show What I Like About You and Gilmore Girls. If they only had Power Puff Girls then my afternoons would be set and I'd never go to school. Stupid school.

Anyone see the new commercial for the new Hilary Duff movie? It has the same guy from the What A Girl Wants. He's really going through those teen pop actress. I bet he'll be in Princess Diaries 3: The Royal Divorce or Mean Girls 2: Meaner Girls.

Man, I really wish I could go to Rod's this week just to show my Neon, but it will wait for another day.

  Don't They Have To Wear A Pink Triangle?
Much like Nick has his Twisted Sister confirming music geekhood, don't all lesbians have to wear a pink triangle on their sleeves to let me know the truth... let me know the truth? So I went to Tegan and Sara on monday and I saw this girl I was in Contemporary Literature with last year. So this girl is pretty cute. Ya know, typical emo chick. And like last year I hit her with some pretty good and funny lines, ya know, stuff beyond "Ahp-buge" and "Horray for school! Horray for me!" It made all the ugly girls laugh. So I see her last night and I smile, acknowledging her existence and she smiles back. And then this girl walks up to her, equally cute and they kiss. So I turn and see another two lesbians kissing. Turn again, two more kissing. I turn again and I see two girls talking... that's when I knew she was a lesbian.

I would gladly write a song about the experience, but I can't remember her name.

And Buddy Landel, I would gladly lend you one of my robes if you wouldn't get lost in the sleeves.... woooooo!

Aside from the inevitable lesbian encounter at every Tegan and Sara show (except when I went with Nick) it was an alright show. I was really tired though. I hardly slept at all at Rod's on Sunday and I was tired from all the jamming and ping pong the day before. But it was okay. The opening band was a band called the No No Spots which I thought were a Hot Hot Heat clone. Most people were saying they reminded them of the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, but hello, the Yeah Yeah Yeahs don't have a keyboards. I guess any dark haired singer is bound to see Karen O comparisons.

It was a good show and they played a lot from "If It Was You" and "So Jealous". Not much old stuff. They didn't play my song "You Went Away". But it was cool. No Matt either which sucks. Shouldn't Matt always play with them? They have a new guitar player who also plays moogs, but still... Matt. Matt Matt Matt. Meh!

Sigh, Sara did not smile at me. That was my shoe in of the week. But when you're right 60 per cent of the time, you're also wrong 40% of the time. Or something like that.

  Meh! I'm On The Cover of Maxim.
So Avril Levigne is on the cover of Maxim this month and I just have to say it's the worst Maxim ever. Why? She's not even slutty in the pictures. She's just wearing her normal Avril clothes... She even seems more clothed then normal. I don't even like Avril, but she's defeat the purpose of the magazine. Meh! It's horrible.

I was all excited about the new Green Day album that I forgot to pick up the new Tegan and Sara... see those two over there - Lesbianas. I'm seeing them on Monday which will be my first concert since I saw them in Guelph last fall. Damn, I'm missing Green Day tonight. Sons of bitches. One of four concerts in the world and I missed it.

Anyways, I ripped the Bourne Identity. I don't feel like watching it right now. I feel like watching the Wrong Guy again. It's high-larious.

Working on a new webpage for the site. Mwhuhahahaha!
 
  American Idiot
I'm loving the new Green Day. It's really brilliant. I was kind of weary of it from the beiginning. I was really disappointed by the Warning and I went into this thinking "If this sucks then I give up" (sort of the same feelings on the next Weezer album). But American Idiot is a really strong album. It's not like older Green Day, but it's not so different that it's alienating.

I haven't sat down with lyrics yet to see how the whole Rock Opera thing comes together, but some lyrics just stick out. The title "Jesus of Suburbia" inspired this new picture I made on paint which I plan on putting in my Christmas Card. The album is really cool. It looks like something I would draw.

Anyways, it's a really good album. I really wish I had tickets for the concert tonight. I didn't even know when tickets went on sale. I probably wouldn't have gotten tickets anyway (if anyone remember the Blink incident), but I would have like to have tried. They're only doing four of these complete Rock Opera shows and it would have been cool to have gone.

Last note on the album - It's really cool that they mention Toronto in the album. "From Chicago to Toronto she's the one they call whasername. She's the symbol of resistance. And she's holding on my heart like a hand grenade". I love that line.

So... umm... yea... blogs are never posting. What's up with dat?

  Weren't We Supposed To Watch That Together?
I wrote something here about the Bourne Identity, but it didn't get posted.

  DamnFire Alarms!!!
I just felt like quoting Undergrads.

My computer is in the process or formatting. But what's cool is we set-up a network in the house. I guess it's cool... I don't know.

So I have no money. Huzzah! I mean boo. Boo Tech. Lick those asses. Too much undergrads lately. Everyone remember this classic - "It's your fweakin hole, it's your fweakin call". Ahh.

I really don't have anything to say... I feel like Rod. You know who's hot? Joanna McCloud. What the hell am I saying? I don't know.

Sometimes I wish I were a girl... then I could be Jesse's girl.

And I'm done.

  ... That's We Called It - B-Ball
Did we play basketball this summer? I don't remember. I know we played in Nick's room one day and Rod made a record of five shots from the chair, but I don't remember playing outside and taking basketball pictures this year. Weird.

Man, I'm already so tired and sick of school. I'm like in this odd state of being drowsy, but I can't sleep. I went to bed last night at like 12 and didn't get to sleep until four. I watched some Star Wars documentary. Weird. It was actually interesting. George Lucas didn't even direct the second and third installments. What an idiot. The first one was the only good one anyway.

I watched "Rear Window" in class today. Remember that Simpsons where Bart breaks his leg... it's the movie where they got that episode from. I just kept expecting the end of the movie to end with the bad guy having done nothing wrong like Flanders.

I'm listening to the Cars. Let's Go!

  SHUT-UP! / Knock, Knock
Well, I'm on a teenage acting sensation kick on this blog today. Firstly, someone at work was reading star magazine, and apparently Anne Hathaway has a nude scene in a movie called "Havoc". I guess I'd watch that in the theatres. At least I'd like part of the movie. On second thought I'll just wait until it's on Suprnova and Rod downloads it. What's cool about this nude scene is that you actually get to see her at her prime unlike Neve Campbell's nude scene which she's doing now (like ten years after her success) so she can rejuvenate her career. But unlike some other younger actresses (read Hilary Duff and Lindsey Lohan) I think Anne Hathaway is actually pretty talented so... I don't know. She could have some nice New York boobs. I like Anne Hathaway. Would I? (Making clingon arm motion) - I guess so. She is number 2 on my teen actresses list.

Speaking of my list, we all know who number one is. And if you don't then how the hell did you get to my blog. Number one is Amanda Bynes. So read the following joke as if it were a skit from the Amanda show and I was doing the knocking and Rod was doing the answering.

Knock, Knock.

Who's there?

New song.

New song who?

I'm gonna hit you in the face with a new song.

I wrote my Amanda Bynes song today. I wanna make four songs about celebrities. So Amanda Bynes and Morgan Webb... who's left? Maybe Trish Stratus. I love those Kane impressions. I wanted this to be a country song but it sounds more like a combination of Brendan Benson, Ozma, and a bit of Weezer and Green Day.

A D
I'm all alone on Friday Night
A E
You came along and changed my life
C#m F#m
You came on through
C#m F#m
What I like about you
D E
Is that you really seemed to care

I'd sit at school watching girls flaunt
You showed me all what a girl wants
I'm all afraid
Since you went away
I might not hear from you again

*** Pause (Count)
A
Make me Yours
C#m F#m Bm
Cause I'm tired of dreaming about you
A
Make me Yours
C#m F#m D
Cause I'm tired of living without you
F#m
Make me see
C#m A B
That these dreams don't just belong to me
D
Tell me now
E
A-Intro
Tell me Amanda Please

You always seemed like so much more
Not all like those other teenage whores
You came on through
What I like about you
Is that you really seemed to care

Make me yours
Cause I'm tired of dreaming about you
Make me yours Cause I'm tired of living without you
Make me see
That these dreams
Don't just belong to me
Tell me now
A A7
Tell me Amanda please

F#m C#m
I'm dream about you every night
D
And how I'd love be inside
E
Of the world which you exist

Toilet! (I mean solo)

You came on through
What I like about you
Is that you really seemed to care

*** Half-time (I think)
Make me yours
Cause I'm tired of dreaming about you
Make me yours
Cause I'm tired of living without you
Make me see
That these dreams
DOn't just belong to me
Tell me now
Tell me Amanda please

Make me yours
Make me yours make me yours make me yours
Make me yours
Make me yours make me yours make me yours
*** (Speed up)
Make me see
That these dreams don't just belong to me
Tell me now
Tell me Amanda please

  Stupid Freshmen
There's this movie I like called "Kicking & Screaming" where these two college seniors talk about how they hate Freshmen because they always say Hello as if they know you. It's so true. Like 4 guys who I really didn't know we're like "Hey, I'm going to class" or "What's up?" or "Yooooooo, I'm from the GTA, Mississauga." Okay, maybe not that last one, but pretty damn close.

I've been only been at school for a day and I've already skipped two classes. Well, I did and I didn't. I always skip tutorials when the lectures haven't happened yet. All they do is make you talk about crap about how you feel about the school and stuff. It's dumb. And a lot of TA's don't even show up to them so I don't take the risk. Plus, I had to try to straighten up my OSAP. I really don't think I'm getting anything, especially since there so busy and won't really help you out one on one at this point. Bastards!

Today was the last Drew Carey show. It was okay, I guess. I don't know. Ever since Kate left the show it hasn't been the same. Drew ended up having a baby and getting married to Kelly, she played Titus' girlfriend on Titus. She's alright, I guess, but Kate was on the cover of the very first Maxim making her like the Marilyn Monroe of our generation. Not really, but whatever... "Yoooooooo, I'm from the B-dot."

Apparently, I'm taking too many classes this year. I planned on taking 27 credits, but I just realized I'm taking 33 which is way too much for me to handle (and way too much for me to afford). That's why I ended up having class everyday. Either I'll have Thursdays off and get the class I really want or I can get Fridays off and play ping-pong at Rod's house. But I really don't want to take Children's Lit. It's okay, but the professor sucks. She's so boring.

My prof today, he pronounced his R's as W's. He was like "Next week we will have thwee books wed." My goal for the year is to get him to say Heartbweak, and hopefully have him do it on camera. That'd be awesome.

I feel like writing ten songs before the end of the year... yap, that's the plan.

  Natalie Portman
So I had Natalie Portman by Ozma in my head. I always liked Natalie Portman, the girl. I always thought she was pretty hot. Well, before episode two where she turned into a twig. Anyways, the song got me thinking that I should write a song about a celebrity. But who? So I first though Halle Berry. But she's so too hot. She's too hot and popular to write about so. I wanted someone to rival the geek fanbase that Natlie Portman has with the Star Wars geeks out there. I thought about the Middle Earth crowd and Liv Tyler, but I don't want any fillet-o-fish Dragon Masters liking my songs so I started thinking video games. And since Oni and Chun-Li are fictional characters I settled on calling the song "Morgan Webb".

All of these things she makes me feel
Emotional tournament Unreal
They're all the same
Make me feel Max. Payne
I'm in GTA
And she's the Banshee

Princess's life gets saved all the time
Plumbers have their damsel where is mine?
Empty castle again
Where's my girlfriend?
The hair on her head
Now what's the colour?


I'm tetrisized
I'm out of lives
And can't find any starmen
Should I quit or continue again?

Of all the runs I'll ever do
The one for her is the School 2's
I'll never trip
Hit my misty flips
Like I'm on a lip
And she's perfect balance

A lariat
A sunset flip
Rock Beats me with Body Slam ten
Should I just quit or Continue again

Everytime I see her I just don't know what to say
When she holds my contoller I just wish that two could play

All of the games I bought and have
And all the burnt ones for Dreamcast
I'd give them all to you
And my VMU
Now I just can't lose
You're my infinite life

The Contra Code
That we all know
That gives thirty men
I just can't quit I have to play again
I just can't quit I have to play again

The spacing's all screwed up, but I like it. C'mon - Smackdown, Tony Hawk, Contra, I even mention the band name. What else do you need in a song? Speaking of Tony Hawk, I just heard that Steve-O is going to be in it. That's weird since Bam and Steve-O were hardly ever together on Jackass but they'll be in a game together? I wish Rake Yohn was in it. You guys may not like him, but mustard haters are good in my blogs.

  The Passions of the Tibs
So I just got back from Niggi's wedding. It was alright. From a recomendation from a friend I had a whiskey sour and it was actually okay. If I wasn't driving I would have taken advantage of the open bar just like Chicco at... well, an open bar.

So I went to pee and there's this drunk guy in there (beer in hand while he peed) and when I was washing my hands he's like "Buddy, where you from?" and I'm like "Brampton". And he says, "So am I. Too fucking ghetto kids now. They watch to many music videos." Sure, he was drunk. Sure, he was annoying. But he sure was right. When I got home those stupid kids at the front of the street were being busted by the cops. I don't know what for, but there were to cop cars just sitting there with their lights flashing and one of them on the hood. Man, I gotta get out of the hood. Why can't my mom say, "You're moving with auntie and uncle in Bel-air." Or at least Guelph.

But anyways. The wedding was cool. It was short. Like 15 minutes long. They didn't even write their own vows. Why wouldn't you right your own vows? It would be funny. She walked down the aisle to Pachebel's Cannon in D. My dream girl? Well, she'd walk down to either the theme to 2001 or Mr Perfect's theme (Get the guitar). That would be awesome. Why can't someone have a really funny wedding? Before you walk down the aisle you hear the glass break and Stone's Cold theme plays, the groom dressed as Ryu and the Bride dressed as Chun-Li.

I wore my fake Con All-Stars. Everyone was like "Yo, I like your shoes. They go good with Rod's jacket." Okay, they didn't say that, but they kind of did... at least, I'd like them to.

I don't know if I'm going on Tuesday. I haven't decided. I gotta get my OSAP and bus passes cleared up first. I'll keep you posted. But if not Tuesday then Sunday we're off to CD Plus and will have my Clerks DVD with Dawn Marie. Kevin Smith? Good. Wrestling? Good. Dawn Marie with Jay? Grood.

  Lizzie Sucks
So I watched the Lizzie Maguire movie. It really sucked. It was easily one of the biggest pieces of crap I've ever seen. It really didn't make any sense. And it needed more of the cartoon Lizzie. That's the best part of the show. It's what makes the show unique and it hardly pops up in the movie. I still can't decided who I like more, Lindsay Lohan of Hilary Duff? Sure, the shark hates Hilary Duff and tried to eat, but that wasn't me, that was the shark. Lindsay Lohan just seems so much more Bitchy. I don't know why. And she's dating Fez. Who the hell dates Fez? Well, Mandy Moore did and she's pretty cool.

Anyways, I'm going with the following:

1) Amanda Bynes
2) Anne Hathaway
3) Hillary Duff
4) Lindsay Lohan

In other movie news, I watched Uptown Girls and I think this was probably worst then Lizzie. The only highlight was that it had "Victory" by the Weekend.

Damn, I wanna play Street Fighter. Maybe after work I'll come by and watch the Sun Guys.

  The Card is Dead
I've decided to stop using my Credit Card. It's too much hassle and too useless... besides the fact that Rod uses it more than I do. Ebay is the devil. The Devil! And with my now very limited budget I just can't afford to buy crap like a Laverne and Shirley thermos.

Yo, Rod, I need some money. You got some shirts in the mail and they're real... at least they look really real. They're at Nick's house.

Going to a wedding on Sunday and I've got work on Saturday and Monday so I guess I'm sort of booked up. Fortunately, Wednesday is the first day of school instead of Tuesday. Huzzah! For my Harvard pals. Huzzah! in deed.

I really want to get some writing done before school starts, but I know that once school starts I'll probably get a lot of writing done since I'm the king of time suckage. Why can't my laptop just have a working battery? Bah!

I'm so bummed that school's happening again this year. So Good! Y'all are so whack... I hope you all know the type by now.
