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

Sunday, August 12, 2007

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.

---Candice

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.

Saturday, August 11, 2007

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?

FUSL # 17

1. Garden Of Evil
1997
A Better View of the Rising Moon

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

2. Jesus Christ
Brand New
The Devil and God Are Raging Inside Me

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.

4. Australia
The Shins
Wincing the Night Away

I LOVE this song and video. It’s just so happy!

11. Broken Heart
Motion City Soundtrack

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
Direction

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.

Thursday, August 02, 2007

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.

-The Academy Is... FRACKY!

Yeah that's right. I'm on the seventh and final book of the Harry Potter series. And I started the series two weeks ago.

My conclusion about this series is this: It's flipping amazing. Harry Potter has changed my life. I know that's stupid and cliché to say, but this series has appealed to me because I whole-heartedly admit that, I am a hopeless dreamer. I love the plot and the characters and the whole idea. The nerd inside of me has been satisfied too. The girl inside of me was entirely satisfied because of the romance. Yes, I admit, I am a dreamer, a romantic, and most of the time, a nerd. Take me as I am.

The Harry Potter series has made me realize more things.

First, I am now never going anywhere without a Harry Potter book, my i-pod, another book in case I don't want to read Harry Potter (Would that ever happen? Anyways...), My copy of "The Black Parade" by My Chemical Romance or a copy of "City Of Evil" by Avenged Sevenfold (When I actually buy the CD, lol.), and small piece of Mikey's mane.

Second, I now want to name all my horses after Harry Potter characters. Knowing me, I made a list. Ya know you love me.

Severus Snape
Rubeus Hagrid
Luna Lovegood
Sirius Black
Draco Malfoy
Lucius Malfoy
Bellatrix Lestrange
Remus Lupin
Alastor Moody
Kingsley Shacklebolt
Pomona Sprout
Nymphadora Tonks
Sybill Trelawney
Romilda Vane
Demelza
Penelope Clearwater
Elphias Doge
Filius Flitwick
Tom Riddle
Andromeda Black
Minerva McGonagall
Aurora Sinistra
Poppy Pomfrey
Griselda Marchbanks
The Bloody Baron
The Half-Blood Prince
Sir Cadogan
Amelia Bones
Rodolphus Lestrange
Rabastan Lestrange
Fenrir Greyback
Godric Gryffindor
Helga Hufflepuff
Rowena Ravenclaw
Salazar Slytherin
Nicolas Flamel
Perenelle Flamel
Elladora Black
Bane

Maybe you recognize some?

Third, I haven't felt this happy in a long time. I have now re-recognized my love for reading. Oh, I have found My Chemical Romance to be good listen to when reading. Hell, My Chem is good for anything. It puts me to sleep, it's dance-y, it's head-bang-y, it's emotional, it's depressing, and most of all, it's uplifting.

Thank you.

Paramore's New Video For "Hallelujah"


Let's start with the video. It's adorable. I personally LOVE tour music videos. It's why I love the video for "Neighbors" by The Academy Is... It matches the song perfectly and shows what a great band Paramore is.

Second, Hayley Williams's vocals on this song are just f***ing amazing. I aspire to be as good a singer as she is. Who knows, maybe one day when I'm in a band, I'll tell the members of Paramore how much they inspire me. Zac Farro makes me want to learn the drums even more. Same with Josh Farro (Guitar) and Jeremy Davis (Bass) and Hayley Williams (Vocals).

I actually take Paramore's new CD "Riot!" to my singing lessons and at the end my vocal coach lets me sing along with it.

My favorite band ever is really a three way tie between My Chemical Romance, Paramore, and Avenged Sevenfold. Plus maybe Cobra Starship. And The White Stripes. Dammit, I can't chose.

Thank you Paramore. And thank you music.

Paolo Nutini- Last Request

Slow down, Lie down,
Remember it's just you and me.
Don't sell out, bow out,
Remember how this used to be.

I just want you closer,
Is that alright?
Baby let's get closer tonight

Grant my last request,
And just let me hold you.
Don't shrug your shoulders,
Lay down beside me.
Sure I can accept that we're going nowhere,
But one last time let's go there,
Lay down beside me

Oh, I've found, that I'm bound
To wander down that one way road.
And I realize all about your lies
But I'm no wiser than the fool I was before.

I just want you closer,
Is that alright?
Baby let's get closer tonight

Grant my last request,
And just let me hold you.
Don't shrug your shoulders,
Lay down beside me.
Sure I can accept that we're going nowhere,
But one last time let's go there,
Lay down beside me

Oh, baby, baby, baby,
Tell me how can, how can this be wrong?

Grant my last request,
And just let me hold you.
Don't shrug your shoulders,
Lay down beside me.
Sure I can accept that we're going nowhere,
But one last time let's go there,
Lay down beside me

Grant my last request,
And just let me hold you.
Don't shrug your shoulders,
Lay down beside me.
Sure I can accept that we're going nowhere,
But one last time let's go there,
Lay down beside me

Yeah, lay down beside me.

One last time let's go there,
Lay down beside me

Excuse Me While I have A Little Spaz Attack


THE USED'S NEW VIDEO! AHHHHH! Can you tell I'm excited?

Here are my thoughts. I love the song. I was completely thrilled that they were making a video for this song.

Well, first off, the video is interesting. It's probably seizure inducing and/or vomit inducing.

It's a solid video, but I don't think it is as good as the video for "The Bird and The Worm". Also, I HATE Bert McCracken (lead singer) as a blond. He looks like Kurt Cobain. But it's none of my business how he puts his hair.

My Nails-- Can anyone guess what they say?

As you can see, I changed my blog template again. I really like this one, so I don't think I will be changing it again. It's simple, and I like it a lot better than my old ones.

Hope you like it!
