Disclaimer: I know I'm a teenie, buuuttt

I was on buzznet, and someone posted this "Top Ten Fantasy Dudes" thing, so I thought I would try it. But mine are a little different than hers.

10. Gene Simmons
Dude, it's Gene Simmons. He's just cool.

9. PrinceHELLO! It's Prince!

8. Rob Zombie
Um, yeah. He's just cool.

7. Blink-182
Whaattt? I like pop-punk.

6. T.I.
Well, ya know, he's hot. And I like his music.

5. Synyster Gates, guitarist for Avenged Sevenfold
First off, he's an amazing amazing amazing guitarist. Second, I think his tattoos are cool.

4. Paolo Nutini
I really really love his music.

3. Steven Smith, from Steven's Untitled Rock Show
You know what? The dude is rad. He's just rad. And I hope you all bask in the gloriousness that is Steven.

2. Matt Rubano, bassist for Taking Back Sunday
Yeah. I think he's cute. I really do. Plus he's short. What's not to love?

1 3/4. Mike Shinoda
Even though I DESPISE Linkin Park (Like truly HATE them.) I like Mike Shinoda. I think he's cool.

1 1/2. Stevie Wonder
*dreamy sigh* Ohh, I love him.

1. Madina Lake
They make awesome music. Enough said.


So there you go. They're not in any order, so don't think I like Madina Lake more than I like T.I. or something.

None of these guys are really my "fantasy" guys, I just admire them.

The Used- All That I've Got

I think this is like the third time I have posted this song. I just love it so much, and it cheers me up.


So deep that it didn't even bleed and catch me

I'll be be just fine pretending I'm not

30 Seconds To Mars- The Fantasy

Do you live, do you die, do you bleed for the fantasy?

The Sounds- Tony The Beat

You like it my way...

The Hush Sound- Momentum

All we need is a little momentum...

Sorry about the One Tree Hill slideshow, it was the only video I could find.

Gerard Way Singing "Umbrella" By Rihanna

This cheers me up a slight bit. :)

My rabbit had to be put to sleep today. She had lung cancer.

As I was saying goodbye to her, a Smashing Pumpkins song came on the radio. When my mom came over, "Hey There Delilah" by Plain White T's came on the radio. It's Chloe's song now.

Bye girlie girl. I love you.


Hey there Delilah
What's it like in New York City?
I'm a thousand miles away
But girl tonight you look so pretty
Yes you do
Times Square can't shine as bright as you
I swear it's true

Hey there Delilah
Don't you worry about the distance
I'm right there if you get lonely
Give this song another listen
Close your eyes
Listen to my voice it's my disguise
I'm by your side

Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
What you do to me

Hey there Delilah
I know times are getting hard
But just believe me girl
Someday I'll pay the bills with this guitar
We'll have it good
We'll have the life we knew we would
My word is good

Hey there Delilah
I've got so much left to say
If every simple song I wrote to you
Would take your breath away
I'd write it all
Even more in love with me you'd fall
We'd have it all

Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me

A thousand miles seems pretty far
But they've got planes and trains and cars
I'd walk to you if I had no other way
Our friends would all make fun of us
and we'll just laugh along because we know
That none of them have felt this way
Delilah I can promise you
That by the time we get through
The world will never ever be the same
And you're to blame

Hey there Delilah
You be good and don't you miss me
Two more years and you'll be done with school
And I'll be making history like I do
You'll know it's all because of you
We can do whatever we want to
Hey there Delilah here's to you
This ones for you

Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
What you do to me.

I don't consider myself to be a particularly "angry" person, but do you realize how many good names there are to call people? For example:

Dipshit
Asshat
Asshole
Prick
Dickhead

So on and so forth.

No real point to this post. I just felt like cursing.

Plus, I suggest you check out the song "It's Much Better To Learn" by Saosin. And "Shut Me Up" by Mindless Self Indulgence. I could go on and on.

Aw shit. A Hawthorne Heights song just came into my head. I hate them.

I was watching Steven's Untitled Rock Show this morning, and Steven was interviewing Gerard Way. One of the questions was "If you could ask anything to your fans, what would it be?" He answers "What does My Chemical Romance mean to you?"

I thought about that for a good while.

First off, I like music that makes me feel something ridiculously overwhelming when I listen to it. Whether it be sadness, happiness, amusement, whatever. My Chemical Romance does that to me. For example, when I listen to Welcome To The Black Parade, my heart explodes with emotion. I sit there and I think "How do people make music like this? How can a band make a song that is so moving that you want to cry every time you hear it? How can a song make you feel so overwhelmingly sad and happy at the same time?" Few songs do that to me. "Voices" by Saosin does it.

My Chem has changed my life completely. I am eternally grateful.

Before I go, let me write a quick bit about Saosin. You guys have made me so happy in the short time I have been a fan.

You know what won me over? Your passion, your energy at the show I went to. You guys were amazing, and made that moment so special for me. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

-Fracky

Welcome To Madina Lake

The band itself sets its music in a town created in the mind of the bass player, Matthew Leone. It is set high in the American mountains, and, isolated from human contact, has remained in a 1950s themed era. The music provides an outlet for the band's views on politics, culture, and the media's obsession with celebrity status. The theme behind the band's music is in relation to the mystery of Adalia. The album artwork shows images of her and the mysteries behind her and the town of Madina Lake.


I adore how Madina Lakes's music is created off an imaginary town. A place to escape into your mind. The places your mind can go are limitless. I, am a hopeless dreamer, so this entirely pleases me, and makes me love Madina Lake.

Amazing amazing amazing interview with Saosin.

That's it. Saosin has now taken over my life.

Saosin Interview

Gahhh. I love them.

Though, I do like some Fueled By Ramen bands. Hey, we all have our guilty pleasures, right?

Who are we kidding. I like most Fueled By Ramen bands.

That just means I have diverse taste in music. I like punk. Heavy Metal. Rock. Pop. Screamo. R&B. EVERYTHING.

I am freakishly picky about my pop though. It's odd. I'm odd.

I feel like a teenie now. One thing though, I'M NOT GOING TO CHANGE MY TASTE IN MUSIC SO PEOPLE WILL LIKE ME. I HAVE DONE THAT FOR TOO LONG. I AM NO LONGER GOING TO DO THAT.

Whoa. Caps overload.

So yeah. Sorry Saosin. You can't help what you like and don't like. Me, I like pretty much everything. If I ever met you guys (properly) you probably wouldn't like me. It would be cool if you did, and I wish you would, but you probably wouldn't. It's the truth.

Wow. I have completely gotten off the subject. Read the interview.

-Fracky

FUSL # 18

I'm only going to do a couple more of these, because nobody cares about them, so why make them? I just had an overwhelming wave of feeling like a teenie bopper. Ick.

1. Karma Police (Live)
Panic! at the Disco (Radiohead Cover)

Wow, I really like this. I don’t know if I like the Radiohead version or this better. Hmmmm.

2. Best Guitar Solos
Made by: Dragonforceisfav

Holy shit. I practically choked when I heard the Dragonforce guitar solo. Ahhh, Van Halen, AC/DC, and Metallica. Good times. Let me just leave you with two more words: AVENGED SEVENFOLD.

3. Lying Is The Most Fun A Girl Can Have Without Taking Her Clothes Off (Live)
Shmanic! at the Shmisco (Really Panic! at the Disco, but I found this funny)

They sound surprisingly good here. I guess I’m just in a Panic! at the Disco mood. I haven’t listened to their music in forever.

4. Thrash Unreal
Against Me!
New Wave


5. Sleepers
Saosin
Saosin

Yeah… enough said.

6. You’re Not Alone
Saosin
Saosin

I know this is one of the weaker songs on Saosin’s CD, but for some reason, I adore it. Whenever I hear it I have to belt it out at the top of my lungs. It’s pretty funny actually. ;)

7. Voices
Saosin
Saosin

Yeah, I know, another Saosin song. But this song is really special to me because when I went to Projekt Rev, this was one of the two songs I knew by Saosin. So when they played it, and I was so close to the stage, and there’s just nothing like seeing a band live, AND screaming along the words. So, as I said, this song is really special to me.

This song is completely amazing too. It’s so passionate, and the video is amazingly amazing. Everyone should take a moment to watch this video, and appreciate it.

8. Pandora
Madina Lake
From Them, Through Us, To You

Ok, so first off, sorry about the picture slideshow. Second, I completely adore this song.

9. Here I Stand
Madina Lake
From Them, Through Us, To You

This song is so adorable. This band is adorable too.

10. Apologize
OneRepublic
TBA

Such a beautiful song.

11. Evolution
Korn
Untitled

I really really really like this song.

12. Kiss Of Dawn
HIM
Venus Doom

I’m pretty conflicted about this song. I like it, but I hate it at the same time. I HATE Ville Valo (lead singer). He seems like a self-centered prick to me. Hey, that’s just my opinion.

13. One-Eighty by Summer
Taking Back Sunday
Where You Want to Be

LOVE.

14. Error: Operator
Taking Back Sunday
Louder Now

I *think* they played this at Projekt Rev, I don’t quite remember.

I did what?

Ok so, for the first time, in my fan fiction reading history, someone has used my name as the lead character.

So the entire time I'm like:

I did what?
I fucked WHO?
I said that?

Wow. Just. wow.

-Fracky

P.S. Again, yes, I read Fan Fiction. It really doesn't matter to me that in the stories there are "famous" musicians. I like them because there are some GOOD writers out there. It's just like reading a book, that the characters happen to have the same name as guys in bands.

DAMN SAOSIN. again.

They have no tour dates near me.

Uggg, I really wanted to see them again along with Alexisonfire and Norma Jean.

I really really like Saosin's music. They were so cool live. Damn.

Scratch that.

I really really LOVE Saosin's music, and they sound good live. As oposed to My Chem, who sounded horrible live.

I have a new favorite band.

DAMN SAOSIN.

For making their song "You're Not Alone" STUCK IN MY FUCKING HEAD.

Daaaammmnn.

Projekt Revolution- My Merch

Yeah I know. Saosin totally roped me in. The guitar pick was free though.

Here's the front of the shirt.

Projekt Revolution- SAOSIN!

Sorry about all the pictures of Saosin. We got so many good ones that I didn't want to pass any up. I have a couple that I didn't post. :) Go look at my other picture posts and my recap of the concert.

Saosin was seriously the highlight of the concert for me. Fuck My Chemical Romance. I loved Saosin the most. I was so freakin close to the stage that a crowd surfer came my way and my mom pulled me away from it. :( Damn you mom.

One of the dudes from Saosin signing my CD. Keep in mind, I don't really know all of their names or what instruments they play. I wasn't a big fan up until yesterday. :)


Saosin signing.


Some Saosin spit action on my CD. God, I'm such a nerd.


That's a great picture.

Taking Back Sunday

Projekt Revolution 8/19/07

Oh. my. fucking. god.

Amazing. Just. Amazing.

I'll start from the beginning. We're waiting for the gates to open, and the guy behind us is REALLY cute. Like, REALLY REALLY cute. Redhead, lip piercing, Taking Back Sunday t-shirt, the whole nine yards. Uber hyper, starts talking to his girlfriend, talking about concerts they had been too. He starts on about Green Day, and bad-mouthing them. The cute guy then realizes I'm wearing a Green Day hat apologizes, and PATS my head. :)

On to when we get in there. We had this whole ordeal about not being able to bring in backpacks, but my mom needs her backpack, because it has her medical supplies in it. Let me just say, my mom is badassssss. We totally got to bring in the backpack. :)

NOW, on to the bands I saw. We missed most of Madina Lake, but what I heard was awesome. We were so FLIPPING close to the stage, it was so awesome. Styles Of Beyond was AMAZING! Mike Shinoda (from Linkin Park) came on stage and rapped with them. I danced, screamed, and waved my hand in the air like I just didn't care. :)

Didn't get to see The Bled, because my mom got really hot, so we went over to shade, while they performed.

Now, on to one of the many big kahunas. SAOSIN. I went in there only knowing two songs by them. They were FUCKING AMAZING! I was so close to the stage, got some great photos of the lead singer.

Then, we went over to were Saosin was having a signing, and waited in line for about an hour. There was a dude going up and down the line selling Saosin CDs and I got one for ten bucks.

But, now on to the part that made my entire day. I got my Saosin t-shirt and CD (That I bought today, mind you) signed by ALL OF SAOSIN. FUCK YEAH. The bass player smiled at me, (Hee hee) and the lead singer winked and said "hey sweetie" to my MOM. Yeah. PLUS, the first guy from the Saosin (sorry, I can't tell them apart, or their names, or what instrument they play) put my CD in his mouth to hold it while he signed the t-shirt. I totally have Saosin spit on my Saosin CD. Chyea. lol.

So while all of this was going on, Mindless Self Indulgence was performing. I REALLY REALLY liked them. Plus, also while we were waiting in line, Madina Lake was doing a signing, so I was like six or seven feet away from them. Plus, a guy from Madina Lake looked at me. :)

We got up to the main stage in the middle of Julien-k. I REALLY liked them. Placebo I didn't like at all, HIM I didn't really like either. Taking Back Sunday was REALLY REALLY cool.

But on to the BIG kahuna. My. Chemical. Romance.

I screamed SO loud when they came on. I'm seriously going to have no voice tomorrow, because I screamed, and sang along to every song. I jumped, danced, head-banged, you name it. I looked like an COMPLETE idiot. But, on the main stage, we had lawn tickets, so we were REALLY far away from the stage. Saosin, Mindless Self Indulgence, Styles Of Beyond, The Bled, and Madina Lake were on the Revolution Stage, and you can go anywhere you want. That how we got so close.

Yeah. Gerard Way sounded like shit, but it was fun anyway. A guy was wearing the same Avenged Sevenfold shirt as me. Um, what else. I don't know. I think that's it.

My throat hurts, my head hurts, and I'm exhausted, but I had a blast. Saosin is now in my top three favorite bands, and I have a tiny crush on the lead singer. I know, just stamp HYPOCRITE across my ass.

Pictures tomorrow. I'm too damn tired now.

-fracky :)

EDIT: Here are the pictures from the concert that I posted on my blog.

Just take a look at that:

The Young Wild Things Tour

You know I wanna go. With all my hard feelings about Fall Out Boy and Pete Wentz, It would still be cool to see them and Gym Class Heroes, Plain White T's, and Cute is What We Aim For.

All the live performances I saw on TV by Fall Out Boy, have really SUCKED. So if I go to this, hopefully none of the bands will suck.

I would have to go to the concert with my mom. Don't know how much she will like it. :)

Lyrics from "Brianstorm" by The Arctic Monkeys

Fart Out Boy- Sugar, We're Goin Down

Am I more than you bargained for yet
I’ve been dying to tell you anything you want to hear
Cause that’s just who I am this week
Lie in the grass next to the mausoleum
I’m just a notch in your bedpost
But you're just a line in a song
(A notch in your bedpost, but you're just a line in a song)

Drop a heart and break a name
We’re always sleeping in, and sleeping for the wrong team

We’re going down, down in an earlier round
And Sugar, we’re going down swinging
I’ll be your number one with a bullet
A loaded God complex, cock it and pull it

We’re going down, down in an earlier round
And Sugar, we’re going down swinging
I’ll be your number one with a bullet
A loaded God complex, cock it and pull it

Is this more than you bargained for yet
Oh don't mind me I'm watching you two from the closet
Wishing to be the friction in your jeans
Isn’t it messed up how I’m just dying to be him
I’m just a notch in your bedpost
But you're just a line in a song
(Notch in your bedpost, but you're just a line in a song)

Drop a heart and break a name
We’re always sleeping in, and sleeping for the wrong team

We’re going down, down in an earlier round
And Sugar, we’re going down swinging
I’ll be your number one with a bullet
A loaded God complex, cock it and pull it

We’re going down, down in an earlier round
And Sugar, we’re going down swinging
I’ll be your number one with a bullet
A loaded God complex, cock it and pull it

Down, down in an earlier round
And Sugar, we’re going down swinging
I’ll be your number one with a bullet
A loaded God complex, cock it and pull it

We’re going down, down in an earlier round
And Sugar, we’re going down swinging
I’ll be your number one with a bullet
A loaded God complex, cock it and pull it

We’re going down, down
(Down, down)
Down, down
(Down, down)
We're going down, down
(Down, down)

A loaded God complex, cock it and pull it

We’re going down, down in an earlier round
And Sugar, we’re going down swinging
I’ll be your number one with a bullet
A loaded God complex, cock it and pull it


God, I feel like such a hypocrite. But, I have to say, Fall Out Boy still does it to me. When I hear one of their songs, I still feel a little weak. The bass line in Dance, Dance still makes me go insanely weak. Patrick Stump's vocals in I've Got All This Ringing In My Ears And None On My Fingers still makes me smile.

As much as I really hate the band members (coughPeteWentzcough), and I KNOW that they don't make the best music in the world, something about their music just... makes me go weak sometimes. Other times, I sneer (FTW?) and and say, well, I don't know. But you catch my drift. I hope.

I know you guys are probably REALLY fucking tired of me ranting about Fall Out Boy, and their music, and Pete Wentz, and how I feel about the band, but I hope you understand. Fall Out Boy has put me through such shit, and made me feel such SHIT. Pete Wentz especially. It's just been *mostly* a shitty relationship. I remember the happy times, when I *thought* (thought being the key word) I was in love with Pete. I admired the band members whole-heartedly, I respected them, I adored the music that they made. I listened to it all the time. I stood up for them, because everyone I knew hated them. Yes, in my naive mind, I loved them.

But on to the song that I posted above. The sad thing is, I can STILL recognize it by it's opening chords. Yep. It was over played so much, that I find it annoying. But, when I actually take the time to listen to it, I find myself loving the vocals and lyrics. The guitar still annoys me a bit.

As you can see, I was put through a tad bit of shit with this band. I sometimes find myself hating the fact that, one tiny band, one stupid person, have so much, I don't know, control over my feelings. People I have never MET.

So, Fart Out Boy, go on with your selling out. I hope you enjoy it.

I hope you aren't completely bored reading this. :(

It is estimated that 15% or roughly 17 million Americans suffer from depression.

It affects rich and poor, young and old, black and white.

2/3 are never treated.

They do not recognize the illness, and see it as a weakness or personality flaw.

Untreated depression is the most common cause of suicide.

In Australia, New Zealand and Japan, there are more suicides than murders.

Suicide is the third leading cause of death among young people.

Depression is treatable.

Cutting was very much a mystery until 1996 when Princess Diana admitted that she had struggled with it.

Self Injurers use physical pain as an attempt to calm or numb the psychological pain or stress. They injure the outside in an attempt to release the pain on the inside.

Self Injury is an attempt to stop the hurting, an attempt to be clean.

Self injurers and addicts seek the familiar, even if its pain. This is completely foreign to most people.

Self injurers believe pain is their only option, using greater external pain as a relief from the pain inside.

There is hope.

Nine Inch Nails- Capital G

I pushed a button and elected him to office and uh -
He pushed the button and dropped the bomb
You pushed the button and could watch it on the television
Those motherfuckers didn't last too long huh-huh
I'm sick of hearing about the have's and the have not's
Have some personal accountability
The biggest problem with the way that we've been doing things is
The more we let you have the less that I'll be keeping for me

Well I used to stand for something
Now I'm on my hands and knees
Traded in my god for this war
He signs his name with a capital G

Don't give a shit about the temperature in Guatemala
Don't really see what all the fuss is about

Ain't gonna worry about no future generations and uh!
I'm sure somebody gonna figure it out
Don't try to tell me how some power can corrupt a person!
You haven't had enough to know what its like
You're only angry cause you wish you were in my position
Now nod your head because you know that I'm right...alright!

Well I used to stand for something
But forgot what that could be
There's a lot of me inside you
Maybe you're afraid to see

Well I used to stand for something
Now I'm on my hands and knees
Traded in my god for this war
And he signs his name with a capital G

So obviously political. So very brilliant.

So, you know I'm not the type to post pictures of guys from bands, but, this is just such an awesome picture, oh my god. There's so much passion in his face, you can tell he loves what he does. Oh, and if you were wondering, that's Frank Iero, guitarist of My Chemical Romance.

Point me to the sky above
I can't get there on my own
Walk me through the graveyard
Dig up her bones

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Lyrics from "Dig Up Her Bones" by The Misfits

I'm just a forwarding whore. But every word this girl writes is 100% true.

'You' is not spelled 'u'. Yes, it's easier, and it sounds like it should be just a letter, but guess what... it's not. Is it really so hard to type in two letters along with it? (the same thing can apply to: r/are, y/why, o/oh, b/be, c/see, yr/year, and so on...)


'For' is not spelled 'fer'. I mean, what are we now, kindergartners!? Phonetically spelling words when it's just as easy to spell it the other way? It makes you look retarded.


'Love' is not spelled 'luv', 'lurv', or 'lov.' Let's talk about the second one for a minute. Lurv...? No one even pronounces it like that! So why do people spell it like that? Again, it just makes you look stupid, and it makes people want to blow your brains out. And if you're seriously too lazy to add an 'e' to the end of a word, then you go get help for that.


How about the difference between 'you're' and 'your'? No one seems to understand it.
you're: The contraction for 'you are' (used in a sentence: you're a good speller.)
your: Showing possession for someone else. (used in a sentence: your myspace layout is cool.)
Let's try to remember that, kiddos, because I remember learning that in first grade.



If you're not really laughing out loud, why even abbreviate it?
If you're not really laughing your ass off, why abbreviate it?
If you're not really rolling on the floor laughing, why abbreviate it?
If something's shocking or worth making a big deal over, you should be able to spell out "Oh my God/gosh."
If you're going to be right back or be back later, why don't you spell it out?
If you have to go, why use numbers and quick, crappy abbreviations when it's just as easy spell it out?
Basically, all these abbreviations are complete and utter bullshit when you come to think about it.


Oh yeah and when you use a really long sentence without any periods or commas it gets really really really annoying after a while it's almost impossible to understand when you do it and it makes you look like a total idiot I'm doing this on purpose to prove a point.


AND WHAT... THE HELL... iS WiTH ALL CAPiTALIZATiON AND ONLY LEAVING 'i'S' LOWER CASE?! COME ON, THiS LOOKS ABSOLUTELY RiDiCULOUS!! i SWEAR, SOME OF YOU PEOPLE... *SiGH*


4, 2 and 8 are numbers. Not words. And using numbers in words (ex: l8r, sk8r) is ridiculous. You wouldn't get away with that shit at school, so why even bother melting your mind into doing stuff like that regularly on the internet?


Random 'Z's' in between and at the end of words...? What? Seriouzly, what the hellz iz going on? Usually theyz don't even make senze, and peoplez just want 'Z's' in wordsz so it lookz coolzzzZZzzZZzz (shut the fuck up, it's pointless and stupid).


The double & sign? What the hell? Basically, you're saying "and and", which makes no sense whatsoever. I asked my sister why she did it one day and she said "because it looks cute." Ha... um, newsflash... they're words. And it's a symbol that stands for another word. I doubt you can turn in a project using && instead of "and", and then get away with telling the teacher that you put it there because it "looked cute." It's called being a failure, kids.


It seems like everyone now is simply taking vowels out of words... I mean, Fall Out Boy did it, so why can't everyone else? No, that's wrong, people. Lk, f w jst dd ths frvr, n n wld ndrstnd wht wr syng, rght? (if you know what I just said, congratulations, you're most likely an idiot who would type exactly like that).


Some of these myspace abbreviations are pointless, too... look people:
'Picture' is NOT spelled: "pic, pc, or pix."
'Message' is NOT spelled: "msg, msge, mg"
'Comment' is NOT spelled: "cmt, cmnt, cmmt"


You're all forgetting what you people have learned in elementary school for crying out loud! Just because it's the internet doesn't mean you have the right to spell like a complete ditz. It's only making you stupider, and it's causing people to get into the habit of spelling like that in real life!


IT'S NOT HARD FOLKS!
IT'S CALLED COMMON SENSE!


And you know what? If you agree with me, forward this bulliten. The word needs to get out that this 'internet lingo' shit is destroying people's minds.

Ok, I admit, I, most of the time, use "lol". BUT, I DO use good grammar, punctuation, and spelling. (Thank you spell check) If you don't have enough time to write something out, then do it when you have more time.

I do have to say though, my best friend types like that, so I'm used to it. I'm trying to train her out of it. :)

I'm getting off track. Here is this girl's blog: CHICKENS4LIFE
Go to it. Read her stuff, because she is immensely funny, and a very nice person.

-Fracky

P.S. I really like italics. So I'm going to use them all the time. I'm odd.

Sooo. Yeah. It seems that I can never decide what too start my posts with, so I always start with "sooooo. yeah". No idea why, but whatever. Annnnyyywhooosies....

I'm gonna whore out a band now, thankyouverymuch. I was reading a blog on Buzznet, and I came across this post, featuring a new artist. A Kidnap In Color is one of the best bands I've heard in a while. They're just so fucking amazing!

Here's their MySpace:
A KIDNAP IN COLOR

And here's the blog post:
CHOPSTIXFOUR11

THANK YA! Off to buy the EP now. And to go check out Love Arcade.

-Eh. Can't think of a witty nickname right now.

P.S. I'm also gonna whore out my best friend. Here's her new blog. Bear with her please, I went to her house today to help with her blog, and it confused me too. So we're gonna play with it somemo' next week. Travis's Blog

Dreams... again

Ok, so, yeah. We can pretty much come to the conclusion, that I am a weird person. But this dream crosses the line between weirdness and just plain crazy man.

The dream is slightly broken up, because I could only remember bits of it. But prepare yourself. lol.

I'm at the dentist, and I'm slightly dreading it because in my dream Mikey Way is my dentist tech (Yeah... I know) and in the dream I like him. You know, LIKE like him. So I'm wandering around and I go into one of the patient rooms and wait, Then, Mikey sticks his head out of one of the other rooms, and tells me to come over there so he can start (That sounds really gross, but I don't quite remember what he says in the dream). I go over in the room, sit in the chair, and Mikey and I start discussing music. Skip ahead a little, he's done with my mouth, then, get ready, all of sudden he turns into a girl! Then he/she walks out of the room, with me swooning.

That was it. I have a question. Why are all my dreams about bands now? And My Chemical Romance? I have had two dreams about My Chem in a span of two weeks. Good lord. And Mikey, if your reading this, I''m really sorry you turned into a girl in my dream. :(

-Miss Fiasco

A Fine Frenzy- Almost Lover

Your fingertips across my skin
The palm trees swaying in the wind
Images
You sang me Spanish lullabies
The sweetest sadness in your eyes
Clever trick

Well, I never want to see you unhappy
I thought you'd want the same for me

Goodbye, my almost lover
Goodbye, my hopeless dream
I'm trying not to think about you
Can't you just let me be?
So long, my luckless romance
My back is turned on you
Should've known you'd bring me heartache
Almost lovers always do

We walked along a crowded street
You took my hand and danced with me
Images
And when you left, you kissed my lips
You told me you would never, never forget
These images

No

Well, I'd never want to see you unhappy
I thought you'd want the same for me

Goodbye, my almost lover
Goodbye, my hopeless dream
I'm trying not to think about you
Can't you just let me be?
So long, my luckless romance
My back is turned on you
Should've known you'd bring me heartache
Almost lovers always do

I cannot go to the ocean
I cannot drive the streets at night
I cannot wake up in the morning
Without you on my mind
So you're gone and I'm haunted
And I bet you are just fine

Did I make it that
Easy to walk right in and out
Of my life?

Goodbye, my almost lover
Goodbye, my hopeless dream
I'm trying not to think about you
Can't you just let me be?
So long, my luckless romance
My back is turned on you
Should've known you'd bring me heartache
Almost lovers always do

This is immensely sad. It's almost as sad as Last Request by Paolo Nutini. Apparently I'm in the sad love song kind of mood.

WHOA, I never ment to brag....

Well, maybe I did.

But I have pretty exciting news. I'm probably going to the Sleeping With Giants tour. I'm pretty stoked about it because I could see The Academy Is..., Sherwood, Armor For Sleep, and The Rocket Summer.

I love The Academy Is... and Sherwood. I have heard ONE song by Armor For Sleep. Count it, one. And I have never heard a song by The Rocket Summer. So, yeah. I better change that before I go.

I *might* also go to a Maroon 5 concert with my mom and my friend Allie. We were talking about it today and than she bursts out saying "Ohhhh my lanta, I have tickets to that concert". Sooo, we're trying to coordinate where we get tickets. That will be fun.

-Fracky

P.S. I wonder who did that artwork for the tour poster. I really like it. Credit goes to The Academy Is...'s MySpace page. If anyone from the TAI camp wants me to take it off, just say so. I will.

MTV Video Music Awards

I was watching TRL (WHY do I still watch that show?) A couple minutes ago and I found found out the nominees for best group (In the order on the TV screen):

Fart Out Boy (No, that's not a typo. I just find it amusing)
Gym Class Heroes
Linkin Park
Maroon 5
The White Stripes


I'm sorry, but there is no contest. The White Stripes are the most talented, original, inventive band out of this list. It's like comparing Chris Brown to Prince. No contest. Yes, I like Gym Class Heroes, Maroon 5, and sometimes even Fart Out Boy, but come onnnnn. It's the fucking White Stripes! They win hands down.

One more rant. Why is MTV still called Music Television? They only have ONE music show on there, and it's a crappy one, that focuses on pop music. SERIOUSLY. Fuse is way better.

-Fracky Business

Oh My Lanta!

As my best friend Travis would say, OH MY LANTA!

Panic! at the Disco has a new song.

"Back To The Streets"- Panic! at the Disco


I feel ridiculously happy because of this song. Which is odd, because I don't like Panic! at the Disco very much. I mean, I have their CD, and I want to get their new record, but I'm not a die-hard fan. But for some reason, this song made me ridiculously giddy. lol.

-Fracky Business

P.S. My best friend Travis is a girl. Travis is just a nickname. Her real name is Ana, but I call her Travis after Travis Barker. :)

Dreams

Dreams are some weird things.

About a week ago, I had a dream that I was in New York, with my best friend, well apparently in the dream she was my best friend. I didn't even recognize her, lol. But, we ended up in a small venue, and My Chemical Romance was performing. So, the guys in My Chem started pushing these racks of coats in the middle of the floor, I guess. While I was getting smushed by coats, I start talking to Gerard Way, who is the lead singer of My Chem. Does anyone else think this is weird? So, anyway, somehow, I end up in this department store, with my so-called "best friend". We look at shoes and electronics, and then decide to go back to the concert because we only stayed for one and a half songs. So as we are walking to the concert, my friend turns into my brother. Then, this guy in a van says that we need to get in the car to get to the concert. I get in then realize that my mom won't know where I am. I say to myself that my brother will tell her. So I get to the venue, and it says the My Chem concert is over. Feeling a tad disappointed, I get back into the van. Then we go on this jungle trail somehow. This cougar or whatever jumps in front of us, says I have to be really still and quiet, so it won't EAT US. lol. By the way, the dude driving the van looks suspiciously like Rob Schneider, I don't know why. So I get back to my mom, tell her the concert was over. Then I woke up.

That's not the weirdest dream I had that week. Here's another.

So, as you know, I have insomnia. This "dream" happened as I was trying to fall asleep, and I was about half-asleep. I have a picture of a band called The Used right by my head, on the wall. So, my dream was floating heads. Bert McCracken (lead singer) and Quinn Allman's (Guitarist) floating heads.

Dude. What does this say about me?

A Better View of the Rising Moon

I’M SO OBSESSED WITH THIS SONG! And I have problems.

2. Jesus Christ
Brand New

The lyrics to this song kind of… I don’t know. Spoke to my soul. I love the melody. It’s so soft and melancholy. I really hate Grey's Anatomy though.

3. Song In My Head
Sherwood
A Different Light

I completely love this video. It’s so adorable. This is a great song too.

11. Broken Heart

And people call this band emo. Dude, most people’s definition of emo is fucked. I would classify this as POP. Maybe a tad bit of punk. Emo is SUCH a vague term. People call My Chemical Romance, HelloGoodbye, Fall Out Boy, and Paramore emo. All of those bands are COMPLETELY DIFFERENT! I always thought emo was dark and/or depressing. Like Damien Rice or Death Cab For Cutie. Damn.

14. Island
The Starting Line

Thanks Steven.

15. Capital G
Nine Inch Nails

16. Wake Up Call
Maroon 5
It Won't Be Soon Before Long

I'm awesome, right? I think we all knew that already.

So that is the piercing I want. I know it's a picture of a dude, and I hate to label somebody, but it's a emo/goth/whatever you want to call it dude. Trust me, I DON'T look like that. But, yeah. That's the piercing I want. That might be a problem, because needles scare the SHIT out of me, so I might have to be drunk or something when I get this. Nah, just kidding. I'm still getting the piercing. Minus the being drunk part.

Sooooo. Yeah. Hi.

I'm incredibly bored, which slightly sucks, because I haven't been this bored in a WHILE. Just sayin. Plus, Buzznet is having problems, so I'm only writing this because of that. Otherwise I would be over there reading blogs because it's what I do to pass the time.

I'm also kind of bummed because I never really get comments on my posts, which makes me feel like nobody reads my blog. I know that's very self-centered and conceited, but I don't know. It's the way I feel. I'm not gonna stop writing in my blog because I enjoy writing very much. So I suppose I should just treat this like it's an online diary, that nobody really reads.

On a happier note, I finally earned enough money to go to Projekt Revolution! That's right, August 19th, me + my mom are going to be seeing My Chemical Romance, Taking Back Sunday, Saosin, and more. The only thing that could make that better would be if Avenged Sevenfold was in that lineup. I would seriously fall over dead. Chyea.

My best friend is currently at dance camp, so I'm sad that I don't get to talk to her. But my other friend, Kristen, and I have been hanging out a lot lately. She and I are COMPLETE opposites. She's preppy and blond and likes Kelly Clarkson. I'm well... you know. Not that.

I have completely decided what color I'm going to dye my hair. I'm getting bangs, with blue streaks in the bangs with blue tips. Kinda crazy, I know, but blue is my favorite color, and it will very much match me.

I'm currently trying to save enough money to but some clothes from Hot Topic. I LOVE that store. It has so many band shirts... every time I go in there... swoonage.
