It's A Date

Now that i've got your attention with false advertising that I have a date, here's a new blog.

I'm looking at the clock on my computer and the time reads 1:48 am. Almost everyone I know is sleeping right now, yet I feel the strange urge to stay awake. I wasn't planning on doing a new blog today, although I multiple new topics came to me throughout the day. When I think about them right now, they were all pretty dull and stupid. I think that when I have an idea for a blog I should just ignore it, mainly because it's usually something not worth writing about or it's some spur of the moment idea that has no place on this page. I've got too much time on my hands this week, yet at the same time I don't. I've got a presentation due monday, and i'm not sure, but I might have an essay due as well. Although with the essay I have to read a book and although i'm already 4 chapters into said book, it's really not what I expected. The book is called "Into the Wild". Some of you might recognize it from the movie that came out in the summer, which was based off the book. The novel revolves around a young man named Christopher McCandless, who after graduating university decides that he's done with his life. No, he didn't comitt suicide. That would be a pretty dull book/movie, because really 2 hours or 204 pages of how he commited said death would be insanely boring. Anyways, Chris decides that he's going to go live in the Alaskan wilderness. The book isn't a story persay but more of how Chris gets to the point of his death. I probably should mention that this is a real story, and actually happened. The author, Jack Krauker journeys to exactly where Chris did, meets the people Chris met, and tries to piece together how Chris' death came to be.

You don't hear the author's thoughts on anything, but at some points you want to know what he's thinking mainly because the things Chris did really make you wonder. Keep in mind i'm only four chapters into this book and I have to be done by sunday night at the latest, so I can't really tell you much other then that the main character dies within the first few pages of the novel. Come to think of it, they tell you he dies right on the cover. I know, i'm boring you guys right now, but this is all I have to say at the moment. Keeping with the my little story here, I have to watch the movie for it as well, which is kind of hard since it doesn't come to dvd until february. Luckily I have some interent skills that allowed me to find a bootleg copy. I know, not hard to do, but i'm trying to write as much as possible here so exaggeration is key. So......... Damn this blows, without school stressing me out i'm fresh out of blog ideas. Wait, I said before that idea's are what make this blog crappy. Ok, so that was a little bit of a lie, mainly because I liked one of my idea's from today. So i'll write it:

J-Moose's List of Movies, Music, and Random Things I Hope For In 2008 *clap*

Movies:
The Dark Knight: It's freakin batman people. How can you not want to see this movie? It's got the joker in it!!!!! And he looks pretty damn creepy!

Dragonball: I grew up watching Dragonball Z so this film is pretty much my whole elementary school life. I will see it regardless if I have someone to go with. Just the thought of seeing Goku firing off a Kamehamaha beam in real life is pretty darn exciting.......I think I just went uber nered there, but screw you guys, I don't care. For anyione interested, Goku is being playing by Justin Chatwin (no clue who the hell he is), and if you guys watched Buffy the vampire slayer all those years ago, Piccolo is being played by the guy who played Spike.

Iron Man: It's gonna be an alright movie, but I really can't say I'm all that excited.


The Increadible Hulk: Same as iron man. After the last hulk movie sucked, i'm not enthused at all.

Music:
So there's so many new albums that are coming out this year, and I couldn't be happier.

Green Day: I'm a huge GD fan, and I couldn't be more excited for a new album. But when last month's rumours of a side project entitled Foxboro Hot Tubs started floating around I was extremely happy. Then I listened to it. The disappointment kicked in. Out of the 5 songs I heard from them, I only liked 2. If thats what new Green Day sounds like I'm scarred for the state of music.

Coldplay: According to Chris Martin, he's written a song everyone should hear. If it sounds anything like Clocks I will personally find him and kick the crap out of him. Other then that, I hope that the album is a little better then X&Y.

Weezer: I love weezer. They may be nerds, but I don't care. Nerd Rock is awesome. Screw anyone who disagrees. The new album will be awesome.

Tragically Hip: I'm pretty sure that every two year the hip put out a new album. 2006 they released World Container, and I loved it. I saw them in concert for my 17th b-day. Even more love after that. Come november this year, we shall all be bathing in Gord Downie's poetic genius.

Possible new albums in 2008:
U2's new album

Billy Talent 3 (i think if they called it anything else it would be a failure)
The Waking Eyes new album

Tokyo Police Club: Stop releasing ep's and make a fucking album already. A Lesson In Crime won't hold us over for much longer.

Thornely: The last thornley album came out in 2004. It's been 4 years. PUT OUT ANOTHER DAMN ALBUM ALREADY!!! I KNOW YOU DIDN'T BREAK UP!! NOW PUT OUT ANOTHER ALBUM!

Sum 41: I know there's not gonna be another album this year, but my hope is that dave comes back and leads them back into their glory days. We miss brownsound

Sam Roberts: I know he's recording. I know it will be good.

Rage Against the Machine: They're touring together for the next 3 months. Don't tell me a new album won't happen, because if they're playing concerts they're doing another album.

Our Lady Peace: Raine Maida solo project was amazing. Hopefully OLP can make something just as good...hopefully.

The Offspring: "I know you wanna hit that"

Metric: Emily Haine is Indie goddess.

Linkin Park: No new album, just the realization that Minutes To Midnight is the worst album of 2007 and hopefully the worst of their career.

Franz Ferdinand: Music that girls can dance to huh? Although i've never seen it, I'm sure it'll happen

Disturbed: Who doesn't want another Down with The Sickness?

Thats it for now.
