wtf

well i'm back, woo! i was gone for a week and there have been only two, count 'em two posts! i guess that's what happens. anyways i'm not feeling like talking about my trip yet but i took many pictures that i will post here and there on the blog. see you all at rehearsal.

Why, TMNT? WHY?!

Since I am too disappointed to explain everything that was bad with the film, I'm going to simplify things.

Visuals: Nice stylization, but the human models were total rip-offs of The Incredibles.
Action: Like many movies I've seen lately, TMNT has some moments of good, solid impacts, but fails to be coherent during its most important parts.
Story: Well, Cartoon Network had a marathon of the new series on today and I found all of the episodes to be more interesting than the movie. Many scenes of contrived, predictable dialogue, with the exception of Toaster Boy and Splinter's daytime soaps. Seriously, every scene spelled out everything for everyone. Well, unless you're deaf, dumb, and blind.
Villains: I liked the designs for some of the monsters, but found no real Big Bad to latch onto. The Foot Clan stumbles with the absence of Shredder and the new threat is a joke. Oh, and the ambiguous reference to Shredder's possible return far too late into the film. What the Hell! They could've built up suspense by saying it earlier or having some sort of visual cue towards the end.
Time: Seriously, this was an issue. The movie was about 90 minutes; it felt like 30! Maybe it was the same scene over and over again with different characters and backdrops that made it fell like a quickie. This was definitely a story for the series bloated out into a very slow-paced, "fast" package. Are bad films a new way of time travel?

Ouch. This makes Transformers even more potentially disappointing, especially after the over-hyped 300. I would have seen Reign Over Me instead. Grindhouse better be phenomenal!

SciFi=Greatest Channel EVER

So I'm watching the greatest, and most historically correct movie ever. This movie is the one and only Grendal. Yep, since scifi knows all they made grendal a beast in a thong and gave beowulf and rocket launcher in the form of a gigantic cross bow...need I say more? *changes channel* ohh it looks like stan lee has graced t.v. again in the form of crappy animated stuff that shares a time slot next to the greatest show ever naruto nija nija nija my ass. T.V.=Brain numming NASCAR loving child of hell, oh wait you say, you cant diss t.v. for being brain numming, the news is there to help...my reply, "suc it trabeck".

all my bags are packed. (not yet actually)

Broken But Not Shattered

I'm just going to spill the truth out there: I had a nervous breakdown on Friday. Although it might have seemed like me just being my hateful self, it was my horrible attempt to bring closure to something that was tearing away at my core. I confess the fact that I am a needy person, and most of that probably stems from me sheltering myself from the world. Is it such a bad thing that my best friends are inanimate objects? I think not.

I oozed my way through the weekend as a formless blob of emotional confusion and mildly tamed my anxiety with a copy of the Transformers Movie (No matter how good the new one is, I will still love the original better). As I had described in my last post, I was still feeling depressed and found myself hardening back into the shape that I was before, but tonight might have been different. Maybe it was because of the new venue of dining, maybe it was the confirmation of my fears being unwarranted, or maybe it was the firm realization that I am in control of my life and no one else can force me into going the "mainstream" route of going to a college right after high school if I don't want to. Well, to say the least, my schedule that I had originally planned out for my senior year will change a little tomorrow. This is my life, and as long as I live it with conviction, I will never regret any decision I make now or later. The tools of true success are in front of me and whether I build a spacious mansion or a cozy cabin, I have nobody to blame but myself for not being able to see the person I truly am. Happiness is not money; it's looking in the mirror each morning and confiding three words truthfully to the familiar person in the reflection: I love you.

Other people are Hell. Hmm...I might just like it here.

Short

I want to post a short one just cause...sorry if I cant let it last long all of the time its just a problem that us males face...you know what I'm calling up my x oh oh what now...fine, I'll be on the couch...*I just want to take a glimpse into my future(Crowemon forsaw and attack)* hehe Pearl yay.

The New, the Old, and the Ugly

I woke up today not knowing what to think of the day ahead. I was going to miss the first twenty minutes of choir because of my ignorant stomach, I'd have to figure out why I was failing, of all my classes, Store Operations, think of what we had to do for World Lit, and read through the article explaining the differences between Sunnis and Shiites. To say the least, I had to make some things clear; they just weren't the things I expected to become clear.

I encountered things today that would normally make me extremely mad, but I sat back with the fury inside of me. The thought was if I bottled it up, maybe I could use it to benefit me somehow. Maybe it was the failing of an easy class that broke my mental restraints. Maybe it was the uncommon act of kindness that had presented itself before but never in such a way where I could feel better about myself. Or maybe making a connection that wasn't really a connection but a false hope that I had promised to myself ever since the first day of school of my sophomore year. Wow, I need a shrink!

I guess I just don't have the courage to face myself yet. Sure, everybody lies to themselves, but that's what excuses are for, and I don't have anymore. I have become consciously aware of it after seeing the way people look at me. The answer is not out-looking my alleged soul. Friday really backfired on me...

Hot Rod didn't become Rodimus Prime until he understood how to grasp the Matrix of Leadership and unleash its power on Unicron, the embodiment of evil. As much as I'd like to think I'm Hot Rod, I know in my heart that I am Ultra Magnus. The Matrix of Leadership was in my hands, but I am not the one meant to open it. For my weakness, I will be drawn and quartered, waiting for someone to reassemble me. It is from this point that I will always be behind the others, never getting another chance. Since we're on the subject of Transformers comparisons, I will never get Arcee. Besides, girls like triple-changers...

The same open feeling you get when you are a kid is in the back of my mind. I don't want to spend a chunk of my life getting ready for it. I want to live it. Other people are jerks. Other people are peer pressure. Other people are Hell. I live in Hell.

ugh

today has been a very crappy day. don't ask why, it just is.

ahh!

the last post on this blog was on thursday and it's sunday now, what is the meaning of this? i didn't really have anything else to say but that and i hate government with a passion.

rant?

i am bored. i'm chewing gum right now and that makes me happy. trying to get vibrato on my sax by doing the "chewing" motion does not work. where can one find meatloafs album, "welcome to the neighborhood?" it is one of his sweetest albums. "where the rubber meets the road, welcome to protection mode used to be sex was a fine hello, where the rubber meets the road!" hewitt said the most amazing thing to me today, many of you have heard but i want to share it to the blogosphere, he said he really liked my insight in my writing section of the test for the purpose of death in "shadrach." it made my day, and it was in the morning so it was a good long day. i've got soooo many thoughts running through my head, so many decisions, feelings, randomness, it makes me sick. drama is going good i think, i hope i'm able to pull off tony. i smell something fruity right now and i'm not sure what it is, wait, my sister just got out of the shower. the door to the bathroom is about twenty feet away, how come i'm smelling it? that doesn't matter. i want to watch "the brave little toaster," anyone else? the drama lock-in should be a lot of fun, can't wait. also the costa rica trip in less than two weeks. should i or shouldn't i? a lot of happiness then in return a lot of pain. so anyways, is it wrong that i like gloria estefan? "turn the beat around!" am i a good person, am i nice? i want a BIG hug. when you guys see me tomorrow will you hug me? that'll be much appreciated. i feel alone right now. i haven't felt depressed and all of this for a long time, now all of a sudden it's starting to come back, i don't like it. registration tomorrow for my last year at highschool. one more year after this, wow. where should i go to college, the cities is most likely, but maybe new york. i've got to take the act then send out applications, then get accepted, then visit. wierd al is extremely talented, you'd be lying if you say he isn't. decisions, AHHHHHHH!!! i am so confused. i'm messed up. i just can't wait until tomorrow. see you around.

F*#% You All. And I mean that in the nicest way.

Guess what? It's registration week for us juniors and I am feeling more and more down in the dumps. Not that I complain about my encounters with my old pal, Depression, who just so happened to stop by this weekend. Depression and I have had some great times and I wouldn't give it up for the world, but it seems like he's been convincing me to do things that another version of myself might not like in the future. Going back to the registration topic, I will be disappointing people this week. I'm not going to say who and you might be surprised but it's going to happen. I'm just a lazy bastard.

I'm going to pull a Dain and not go along with the scheduled blogging dates anymore. Dain has the right idea; you guys just want to feel powerful and put us in our place. I don't have a place you can put me in. Well, I'm going to take a certain sage's advice and get some sleep tonight. This is DEN saying I hate you all with a hug.

END_OF_LINE

did you know that it's a violation of federal law to use clorox disinfecting wipes in a manner inconsistent to it's labeling? now you do, watch out.

fun

This one, and the Matrix one make me lef. Some of them are comical, and some are just dumb. Nonetheless, it is a good read

movie

yeah, sledding didn't work out for me because i felt sleep was much more important, i had a lot of catching up to do. so anyways i was thinking of seeing ghost rider tomorrow at 4:oo. my haircut is at 2:30 and i don't want to drive back home then come back in for the party. so 4:00 at the movies then afterwards alex's party, who's with me?

chitty chitty bang bang!

anyone want to go sledding tomorrow, and by tomorrow i mean friday, and by friday i mean the day we don't have school or rehearsal? it would be super fun y muy loco! then we can make a snowman/woman army and take over the brainerd lakes area and fill the school with the disgusting, putrid, ugly concoction that was lunch today, aka tater tot hot dish or whatever it was called. then once we rest we head south and take little falls then st. cloud. we would then have to build more snowmen/women in order to take the twin cites, then soon the united states then after we have some hot chocolate..... THE WORLD!!!!! Muhahahaha!! (dain stands very sinister-like, wearing all black and a cape with the whirling snow storm behind him) once we take over the world i'm going to find out how to get vibrato on my saxophone. maybe i need to try a new reed, oh well. what else will we do when we rule the world with a snowman/woman army? that doesn't matter, we'll figure that out when it gets here. i've got my scheldule all figured out for next year. next year's going to be tough, as long as i can get gym waived i'll be a happy camper. gym/health being a required credit is the stupidest thing ever, those classes are a waste of f&#$@ time. keep an open mind about sledding tomorrow, i am. hopefully my parents won't make me stay home, that'll suck. tienes mi corazon, no rompaslo. did i do that right, i'm not sure. in a few weeks we're going to costa rica for spanish. it's going to be so much fun. cuando miro en tu ojos y oyo tu voz, mi corazon derrite en mi cuerpo. i'm bored, i should probably go to bed. and pat, this thing where you have to post on a certain day is a bunch of crap, if i don't feel like posting i'm not going to. this is your captain speaking we have now arrived at our destination and please remain seated and put you tray tables in their up-right and locked position, and please keep your hands, arms and legs inside the plane untill it has come to a complete stop. now, we may now continue with our "lives."
