Dusting Down The Stars

I'm supposed to be doing homework, but i've ended up listening to the same song for most of the night. Most of you have probably heard it, or at least heard of the band. The song is called Dusting Down The Stars, and it's by Mobile. The first time I heard this song was quite a few months ago when the video for it premiered on muchmusic. I never really payed attention to it, but I knew it was there. Then when I began to get all of my music from my big computer to laptop I realized it was the one song by Mobile that I hadn't downloaded yet. Something had changed about the song though. I can't put my finger on it, but when I listen to it now, it gives me this weird notion in the pit of my stomach. I'm not too sure why, but it's the same thing that used to happen when I had some sort of realization or reached a turning point in my life.

I don't know what I could be feeling right now, but it's something that makes me want to leave Ancaster, and just never come back. This song makes seems to urge me to leave everyone I know and just go out into the vastness of earth and see what i'm missing. I know i've posted blogs like this before and everytime I say that these feelings are different, but honestly I wouldn't keep writing about them if think there was a reason for it. I said in a previous post that i've been reading the novel Into The Wild , a tale about someone who kind of felt the same way I do. Although his intentions for leaving his friends and family are different than mine, I see a resemblance in myself to the main character Chris McCandless. McCandless, unlike me, was a pretty popular guy during his highschool and university years. He did tons of extra-curricular activities and was known by almost everyone. When most people hear his tale they almost don't believe that someone with his talents would have wasted them on such a stupid dream and actually go and live in the Alaskan bush. Those people are morons. Dreamers are some of the best people in this world. When someone tells me that they think that no one out there understands what they go through and how they want to be somewhere else doing something meaningful, I feel like slapping them as hard as I can. It pisses me off to think that someone can be so conceited as to belive that they're so special that they deserve help and attention. Stop it fucking feeling like shit and actually make your dreams come true. It's great you don't wanna be here, now stop telling me about it and actually do it!! So many people make the claim that they wanna change and become better people, yet 5 minutes later I hear them whining about their problems again.

It's funny though, most teenagers are usually whining about relationship stuff, and i'll admit i've done my fair shair if it as well, but it's not fucking worth it. Constantly it's, "I like this person, this person and this person." Question:
If you like said person then why don't you talk to them?!?! I've heard people tell me they like 5 different people but have actually never talked to said people. How the hell do you do that? I can't understand that concept. If you like someone, at least make the bloody effort to try and talk to them. If you can't even do that, then I think that you don't deserve to be with anyone. How can someone feel a connection to another person without even talking to them just once? Can someone explain that to me, because i'm dying to know. FUCK!!!! This is just pointless people. You wanna know you what really has to be done, because believe me i'm dying to tell you. Eliminate almost everything your judging these people on and do what your heart wants. I know, sounds corny, but if you can't do that, you don't deserve to say you like someone.

I know, Not What I'd Usually Say

Among my many searches throughout the internet i've come across something that I found to be kinda funny, or at least it is to me. Most of you probably remember a little show called Star Trek, and how it spawned movies and tv spinoffs much like CSI or Law and Order. Well i'm sure most trekkie fans have heard that J.J Abrams is directing a brand new film for it. Now don't be thinking i'm a nerd because i'm writing about star trek, because I personally think it is complete crap, but when I read the cast listing I just laughed my ass off. First off who knows who Simon Pegg is? If you've seen either Shawn of the dead or hot fuzz then you'll know who i'm talking about. He's in the new star trek movie. At first I thought it was some kind of joke because I read this on wikipedia, but after reading it somewhere else, I found it to be true. I seriously can't take Simon as an irish guy who constantly worries about dying in the vast depths of space. If anything i'd think he'd make this into a comedy more than an action flick.

Secondly there's the guy who's going to play sulu. For those of you who aren't nerdish, i'm simplify. Sulu is asian and he's one of the main characters. I honestly don't know much more about him, nor do I care. But when I saw who was playing him, again I laughed. John Cho. For those of you who don't remember him, i'll give a little background.

American Pie: the guy who keeps calling stiflers mom a milf
Harold And Kumar Go To White Castle: Harold

Now come on, how the hell can you make an action movie with Simon Pegg and John Cho and not think of Harold pulling out a bong or Nicholas Angel not having guns coming out the wazoo. I honesty can't imagine not laughing at this film if I go see it when it comes out next christmas. All joking aside, i've got a presentation to work on, which i've been able to avoid doing for 2 days in row thanks the incompetence of my english teacher.
