Teen Celebrities Are Really Pathetic

As you all know, i've never been one to take shots at celebrities. I do however like to watch them take shots at one another, and really who could do that better than teen celebs. To be more acurate, female teen celebs. Now I don't care much for Miley Cyrus, but lately making fun of her just seems so much easier than it has been in the past few months. There were the "racy" photos of her on the net, but really she could save herself the grief from that by saying that she was being a 15 year old girl and didn't know better. Come on, her dad freaking wrote "achy breaky heart" so really, can she actually have any morals when it comes to love? Not in my books. And what would a teen celeb be without their youtube page. I mean, I don't have one, but I can the obsession of carrying around a camera, or being on webcam constantly. I mean, it's like the complete opposite of tv, she can say what she wants, put on as much makeup and look like a total skank if she wants, and she cause a cat fight with other teen celebs, all by youtube. What a great site. I just used it to watch movie trailers and old episodes of digimon, but damn now I just can't wait for the next Miley and Mandy show. People you don't know what your missing here. Oh and to counter Miley and Mandy, we have the less known, less loved, Demi Lovato and Selena Gomez. Much like Miley they decided to make their own youtube channel and make their own craptacular videos. Now I am just waiting for the retaliation on this.

*edit... Me and html code don't get along so i'll give you the links instead.

Now tell me this isn't asking for a teen war? Silly teen celebrities, fame is for those who can act. Did you see that? The spoof of The trix rabbit. See I can be funny.

What Doesn't Kill You, Simply Makes You Stranger

Don't worry people i'm still alive, i've just been doing....well nothing actually but the nothingness really keeps me bored and uninspired so thats one reason why I haven't been writing. However, enough has accumulated in the past little while that I figured it was time to write once more. Well I knew this day would come eventually but I didn't think it would happen so soon. I'm quitting Walmart. The store has gone downhill quite a lot in the past little while and with the lastest stunt I figured it was time to find a new part time job. In the last month or so my old manager, Darren, or as he's referred to in here, Stupid Moron, got switched to a new SWAS( a SWAS is a certain group of departments that one of the many assistant managers is in charge of). Of course this meant i'd be getting a new manager since he was gone. Enter Roxanne. Now by no means is she worse then Darren, but really she's not much better. Her first act as manager was to book me in on my not available days forcing me to leave my little bubble inside my home. Not cool. (Yes, i'm lazy and i've come to accept this fact). Secondly, somehow she got a hold on my availability change for the summer, which i'm positive I never handed in, and put that into effect. Now really the second one wouldn't be so bad if I actually got hours!!! Next weekend I have two shifts, one being five and a half hours, the other being six and a half hours. Now, I know it's not much to ask, but when I work on weekends, I expect two 8 hour shifts, be it a 8:00 am or anytime after that. Really, I mean thats what i've got for the past 2 years, so whats the harm in keeping with that. Oh, but wait, this wouldn't be a real story if I didn't get screwed over even more. I am no longer J-moose from toys, but now I shall be known as J-MOOSE FROM SPORTING GOODS!....Add sarcasm here to show just how much I hate this. A few weeks back Roxanne and Darren called me to the back and said they had to talk to me. At first I had hoped I was getting fired, but no. Instead, they ask me if I want to move to sporting goods, while giving me the "move or be fired looks". I was kind of hoping they were giving me a raise since, according to them i'm such a good worker and i'm an asset to the walmart team, or at least thats what they keep telling me.

Also, The Dark Knight is possibly my new favourite film. I was already a huge batman fan but now, I think if I could, I would want to live in Gotham City. Yes, nerd alert.

Wow, i've only begun to realize how long its taken me to get a new post going on here. So, in light of me finally writing once more, I figure I should do what I do best..Write about the music i'm diggin.

There hasn't been too much lately, but i've found a few gems in the rough:

1. Sloan - Believe In me, Album: Parallel Play - The year wouldn't be complete if Sloan didn't make their glorious come back, and damn what a come back it is. Of course it's not the come back that'll make them as popular as they once were, but we take what we can get, and so far the helpings have been gracious. Believe In Me is probably the closest thing that sounds similar to the old Sloan stuff like, "Losing California" or "People of the Sky". No, it's not the feel good song of the summer, but it definitely beats out the last song I heard from them "Who Taught You To Live Like That".

2. Against Me - Stop!, Album: New Wave - I'm not gonna lie, I didn't really pay attention to this band until I heard this track. However, when I finally listened, I was brought a catchy punk track, which made me rush out and by the album its on. Although the song is short, it delivers, which is all that one can ever ask for.

3. MGMT - Time To Pretend, Album: Oracular Spectactular - I just like the keyboard riff....it's cool.

Ok so there isn't much but we have lots to look forward too! Although the track listing has been announced and the album title, Matthew Good will make us wait for his next album for at least another year. Good's calling this one "Vancouver" . Apparently it's going to be about how the city has changed over the years and not for the better. Should be interesting. Also we can expect the new Rise Against album in March. No lead single has been announced yet, but the title is going to be "Appeal To Reason".

Alright, I know it's not what I could be writing, but really if nothing interesting happens, i've got nothing to say. Hopefully the next time we meet, i'll have some decent things to write about.

Sometimes The Light Is All That You Need

The Light

Last night, the dawn came into sight. And the tide rolled on, inside my mind, with open arms i dove deep inside. Even the best days hurt sometimes, even the songs that make you smile, will hide. All you hear, and all you see, is just apart of memories. When the light fades out, when the cards thrown down, will you remember, what we told you?

This is life, and it's part of growing up. It's part of every step you take, it's part of every friend you make. Don't think that we're not watching, don't think that we don't care. When times get hard, you know that we're there, just stop and stare at the lights.

Stop!

Possibly my new favourite song.

Time To Pretend

These last few days have been increadibly boring. No wait, I mean since the night of the grad dance it's been boring around here. In fact I pretty much haven't talked to anybody since that point and time, although I have chatted with Kayleen quite frequently, up to the point where we decided to hang out for a few hours last friday. We ended up going to these two waterwalls which was pretty cool. I think we stayed at the second one for over an hour just talking which I rarely get to do with anyone. It's odd, i'm not increadibly close with her, but lately i've talked to her more than my best friends. Then again, Felicia and Giacomo were away for a little while, up in Tobermory with some of the other grads, something which they tried to keep a secret from me until one of the other people going sent me and e-mail by "accident" with a list of people going and parents driving them there. The moment I saw it I knew what it was about, and I kind of felt hurt that Felicia and Giacomo choose not to tell me. Yes, I understand that they didn't want me to feel left out/hurt since I wasn't invited, but really I was more hurt at the fact that they kept it a secret and probably would have told me only if i'd asked or called one of them when they weren't at home only to be informed that they were gone for the week with people that used to be my friends. I probably should have mentioned this before but the people who organized the trip were the people that I used to call friends. Another point as to why F&G wouldn't have wanted to inform me, seeing as how I can't stand these people in more than small doses. Take grad for example, Helena and Michelle decided that since it was the last oppurtunity to see me, they just had to have a picture with me. Naturally I dispise being in most photos, and tried to worm my way out of this one, but of course I gave in and did it. I expected it to be posted on facebook, but I haven't seen it yet, so i'm hoping that it never reaches the masses.

Why is it that when you want to tell people how you truly feel, the words just never seem to come out properly? Not just in dating, although this will end up on that topic, but in everything. For months i've wanted to go out and just yell whatevers on my mind at the top of my lungs, somewhere no one can hear me. No matter how much time there is in a day, i'll never find that place of silence, waiting to be broken by the intrusion of a teenagers lament. Everything just kind of seems to come to a halt in the summer. We all have one of those big pause buttons that we hit the moment summer begins, and until the last few days of freedom, that play button that we've kept hidden for two months begins to glow again. That's when it really dawns on everyone, that time is going to resume itself, even if we don't hit that play button, someone else will. As we get older that pause button begins to fade and those two month breaks become one month vacations, and even those slowly decrease until the point where it's non-stop action and no one realizes it. For years i've always sat out on the sidelines, never once offering to stand in for someone, only getting up to catch those who fall, then sitting back down as they resume their daily activities. Wow, I completely went off topic there. Where the heck did feelings bit go to? How the heck does this always manage to happen? I'll be talking about one thing, then 10 lines later I notice that i've gone off topic and onto something completely different. All thoughts aside, I will take this oppurtunity to wish my dear friend Kayleen a happy birthday. You have a beautiful soul, a big heart, and you are one of the most amazing girls i've ever met. Don't ever change.
