I Have A Dream...

I have a dream....Which is as follows

-I rule the world

-I make all the rules

-Brandon is my Right Hand Man

-Fall Out Boy are SENTENCED TO DEATH(Longish story...)

-School is no longer necessery

-Muse are now required NOT to spent, like, 3 years making a new album(Take a hint, guys...)

-Everyone is required to read "All These Things That I've Done"

-All Hersheys Chocolate is to be replaced with Cadburys chocolate

-Hollister is to be, from now on, forbidden

-Everyone must learn to play the guitar riff in "Plug In Baby" by Muse

-"Just Like Heaven" by The Cure is to be the Earth's anthem

-All Twilight fangirling is to be kept to a limit

-Rolling Stone are now required to give Killers albums GOOD reviews

-All comments about Neil Tennant's sexuality will result in lifetime imprisonment

-The Killers obsession is 100% necessery

-Anyone trying to find a cure for OCKD is sentenced to a long, painful death

Yeah, that's basically my dream. Harsh? Of course not! Aren't I "too nice" for that(Don't ask)? Well, the above rules are the building blocks for my perfect society. Hmm, that turned out looking a lot like a dictatorship, but whatever...Anyway, if only I could write my essay on that instead of having to do it on Global Warming, or the economy or something. Yeah, I know I've said way too much about this project, but I can't really explain well how much I hate it. In the end, I chose "education". Did you know that over 100 million children across the world don't go to school, and that in 1/3 of countried 75% of children drop out before 5th Grade? I certainly did't - Nor do I really care. Of course it's a problem...But I'm sick of hearing about this stuff ALL THE TIME.

Well, I have no idea what to write. Seriously. Nothing. I know I said that a couple of days ago...But I really don't know what to write about today. So...I'll start with my day -

Today was a...weird day. For a start, I spent hours last night just looking at that A4 picture of Brandon. You know, just trying to see of he had any imperfections. FYI - He didn't.

Anyway, I'm really tired because of that - Again. This guy is killing me. Also, the other team did a presentation today, so we got to skip regular classes(It took 2 periods!). The presentation was actually really boring - They did it on the posotives and negatives of famous leaders in history. The acknowledgement of different opinions is actually very good - Loads of people just take the story from one side. We also had our Social studies quiz. Despite me not studying, it was easy. After that we had to start writing our speeches. I didn't know what to do so (as always) I started writing The Killers logo on my binder. Engineering was weird. We were plannig assembling and deassembling pens. I hate the sub so much - She always acts like she knows a lot about engineering, and that she cares about it. It's pretty obvious she's faking. And I had Gym today(*sigh* Gym=hell) and we had our first basketball game. I always hate games like that, because I just stand around like an idiot because I don't want to play. We lost most of the time anyway.

I'm wearing my Victims t-shirt again(*hugs*) and I got another comment on it. Also, my Science teacher aksed me to make him a Mix CD with The Killers best songs. First off, I don't know how to make a Mix CD. I'll work it out in due course. But it's sort of a lot of preassure - I want to choose songs that will make him like The Killers. But I don't want to choose too many or too little songs. At the moment, the definate songs are -

Mr. Brightside

All These Things That I've Done

When You Were Young

Human

How do those sound? Should I add a couple more? I mean, I just want to choose singles to put on. Every single on Hot Fuss was amazing. Which one, Smile Like You Mean It or Somebody Told Me? I way preffer Smile, but most people would consider Somebody to be better. I don't think I could do both, cause I'd have all four Hot Fuss singles on there! Also, I'm still questioning weather to add A Dustland Fairytale, Spaceman, Bones, or Read My Mind. Comment, help, PLEASE! I want to make a good impression!

Tee-hee, All These Things That I've Done is playing on my iPod. I just majorly freaked out my sister by mouthing the words, it rocked!

...The song just changed. Now it's the "Just Like Heaven" by The Cure(Our world anthem, remember? Memorize the words now children, you might well need to know them for later in life) Show me that trick, the one that makes me scream she said, the one that makes me laugh she said, and threw her arms around my neck. Oh yeah.

I opened up another Poll earlier today. Answer honestly. This time, I don't think I'll harass you if you give a bad answer. Well, I might...

Last night, I started my book about the brain on music. It's actually pretty interesting. The author is sort of...proud of his musicl ability. Stuff like "And I ended up working with U2, Heart, Blondie - All the classics". I only read the intro, but I'm really interested now.

Well, only 12 days left...The big tour starts in a few days. I'm HUGELY excited! It's all I'm thinking about at the moment. It just came into perspective...I'm seeing The Killers. Possibly meeting them. It's no longer a dream, or a fantasy, or a thing happening several months for now. It's 12 days away. I'm slightly annoyed at my parents, for not getting me General Admission tickets, but I still might leave early for it.

Well, that's about it. Coco, I expect that picture on your blog later today!

Today, I leave you with a picture - This guy holds the record for most pairs of Converse!

Bye,

Oh, Have You Ever Seen The Lights?

Happy, er Tuesday?

Well, happy Tuesday. Personally, I hate Tuesdays almost as much as Mondays, and I can't really explain that. But anyway...

Remember that epic post yesterday? That's the one, the unnaturally long(For my blog anyway) post. Well, that huge post has now bled me dry of any ideas of what to write about today. But this post will still involve some content, considering I always find something to write about. So, like always, how about we start with school?

To start with, I did get a decent ammount of sleep last night. Less than I should be getting, but still, so I did manage to make it through the day(Barely). Anyway, today we finally cleared out our Math binders. And not a day too soon - Mine's a total mess. I had huge organisation issues last year(Not so much issues, but just laziness). This year hasn't been so bad. Maybe it's because the teachers don't have leactures, commitees, squadrons, and whatnot dedicated to checking if we're organised. It's giving some sense of freedom. I also have a Socail Studies quiz tomorrow. Greece is getting boring fast. Still, not as boring as Mesopotamia last year. I'm still having nightmares from that. *shudder* And in Spanish today, we had Double Spanish which is a first for me. I hate Spanish, but it meant we missed Engineering, which is worse. Both Spanish classes are starting a big project, and we had to go over stuff. I was more preoccupied with writing the Killers logo on my binder. It's coming out as the best logo I've ever done. I'm trying to make it as detailed as possible! I onyl got to do the outline, and the dots in the "k" but it's an improvement. Looks amazing!

In LA we saw the "I Had a Dream" speech. It was really cool, amazingly interesting to watch. We had to watch it again in Enrichment, but identify figurative language (*shudder again*). At the end, when we were aloud to talk(Talking to those people? I think not) I started writing more Killers stuff with my hi-lighter, and my friend drew one of her "Brandon Bunnie" pictures for me. He's jumproping and saying "See you in my trailor!" Um, yay? How should I react to this?!

Ergh, I have to get an idea for my I Had A Dream thing tonight. I said to my mom earlier "The World's Perfect". Which it is! It's big, important men in office who screwed the world, why don't we leave it to them to sort it out? A 7th grade MLK-esque speech is about as useful to the world as buying recycled junk to help the environment. Who cares anyway? We're gonna die when we're 70-80 anyway. Let's leave everything to the next generation, okay?

Well, I have nothing to do today. I deperately need a life beyond my computer, it's really getting to me now. It's sad really. I might tune by guitar later though...At the moment, I'm having a whole Sam's Town-run through. I'm currently at "My List" which is one of the worst on the album(It's written about TANA FLOWERS). But this album is fantastic. I'm sick of people who have bought Killers albums, but not necesserily fans, saying "Sam's Town sucked so much, Hot Fuss was a billion times better!" or something along those lines. Who cares anyway? Quoting BF - "We're still finding our sound". Maybe it's time to face the facts that bands change over time. specially in the early albums, the sounds will be really different. Its sort of stupid to compare HF to ST..they're totally different albums. It's basicaly comaring Bruce Springsteen to Duran Duran...those typically wouldn't be put together. Many people just want another Hot Fuss...well that might never happen. Sure, 80s pop will always be with them, but don't expect another HF. The Killers have potential to be going for another 20 years(If band relations and everything goes okay), and when their 15th album is releases, people will say "Good album, not as good as Hot Fuss though". That's sort of arrogant. There's sort of an assumption that there will never be another Mr. Brightside or Hot Fuss, which is wrong. Hot Fuss was their brekathrough album - Their birth into the music world. It was glitzy, eyecatching, an unforgetable. So what, Sam's Town doesn't have those qualities. Hot Fuss had to be memorable, they needed attention more than anything back then. If you're under 70, you've heard of Mr Brightside, right? It's amazing. But Somebody Told Me and Mr Brightside were also breakthrough singles. Not necesserily the best. There will be another Hot Fuss, and another Mr. Brightside. Maybe it'll sound different, but it will be equally amazing, just give them time! ...I guess what I'm saying here is, just shut up your comments that Sam's Town sucked. If you only "understand" one album, then don't go to YouTube and hate-comment on their Sam's Town music videos. So, Sam's Town and Day And Age weren't quite as good as Hot Fuss...get over it. They're 6 years old, aren't they aloud a few first albums to still explore their sound? I love all three albums, and yes I would mark Hot Fuss over the others, but I still think Sam's Town is incredible. Quit hating the albums(Especially the US. 1/2 as many album Sam's Town sales as Hot Fuss!). Hot Fuss was their "English album", Sam's Town was their an "American" one. The "best English band to come out of America" was giving something back to you - be happy for it! Smile about Sam's Town, even if you don't really mean it.

Well, I honestly didn't mean to go on that "rant". But, it's something that needed to be said here sooner or later. Half way through that, Sam's Town finished and I started up Day And Age. I'm playing it super loud now, having a bit of a Losing Touch breakdown, on my iPod speakers/radio I got for Christmas. Turns out the radio doesn't work very well, my Dad needs to fix that later. I now really want a CD player. A lot of albums I've got...I haven't finished yet. I really need to listen to all of them before I buy any more, so I do need a CD Player badly.

Anyway, last night I read my Blender magazine, and flipped through the American Songwriter article about The Killers. The pictures ROCK. There's one A-4 size one of Brandon..ah. Looks so good! I might end up cutting the pictures out and putting them up in ym school locker Only problem with that is Ronnie's on the other side...

Ah yes, my poll is closed. 3 votes, hoorah! Could have been worse. I might open a new one up soon.

Well, there was something else I wanted to say here, but I'll save it for another day. I ned to go and give myself a headache over my I Had A Dream thing.

Bye!

Monday Mornings Suck

Hello,

As we all know, there is a lot of Controversy in the world. Always has been, always will. People have opinions, and that's how it all starts. But I bet there's one thing that everyone can agree on - Monday Mornings suck. Unless you're hugely famous or have millions in the bank and don't have to work Monday mornings...they suck. Today was no better. Actually, it doesn't help if you can't get to sleep for 3 1/2 hours after you started trying to sleep. I don't know what was happening to me last night, but I just couldn't sleep. For a start, I had a Franz Ferdinand song stuck in my head ALL NIGHT. Franz Ferdinand are good...But it was the same "Sorry, angel" line, or something like that, over and over again in my head for several hours. I also had a lot going through my mind that night...Though very little had anything to do with my life, or today, or anything, just random thought. For around two hours, I had a sort of debate in my head regarding how the media swarms celebrities and their private lives, or something like that. I don't know, but I do hope I get more sleep tonight. Working today was impossible.

Well, before I forget:

1985 - Bowling For Soup

Woo Hoo Hooooo!
Woo hoo hooooo!
Hoo hooooooooo!
Debbie just hit the wall,
She never had it all,
One Prozac a day,
Husband's a CPA,
Her dreams went out the door,
When she turned 24,
Only been with one man,
What happened to her plans?
She was gonna be an actress,
She was gonna be a star,
She was gonna shake her ass(ass),
On the hood of White Snake's car,
Her yellow SUV,
Is now the enemy,
Looks at her average life,
And nothing, has been all right,

Since Bruce Springsteen, Madonna
Way before Nirvana
There was U2 and Blondie
And music still on MTV
Her two kids in high school
They tell her that she's uncool
Cuz she's still preoccupied
With 19, 19, 1985

Woo Hoo Hooooo!
Woo Hoo Hooooo!
She’s seen all the classics,
She knows every line,
"Breakfast Club", "Pretty In Pink"Even,
"St. Elmo's Fire",
She rocked out to Wham!
Not a big Limp Bizkit fan,
Thought she'd get a hand,
On a member of Duran Duran,

Where's the mini-skirt made of snakeskin?
And who's the other guy that's singing in Van Halen?
When did reality become T.V?
What ever happened to sitcoms, game shows, (on the radio)

Springsteen, Madonna
Way before Nirvana
There was U2 and Blondie
And music still on MTV
Her two kids in high school
They tell her that she's uncool
Cuz she's still preoccupied
With 19, 19, 1985

Woo Hoo Hooooo!
She hates time, make it stop
When did Motley Crue become classic rock?
And when did Ozzy become an actor?
Please make this stop, stop, STOP(tick tick tick)

And bring back Springsteen, Madonna
Way before Nirvana
There was U2 and Blondie
And music still on MTV
Her two kids in high school
They tell her that she's uncool
Cuz she's still preoccupied
With 1985

Woo Hoo Hooooo!

Bruce Springsteen, Madonna
Way before Nirvana(1985)There was U2 and Blondie
And music still on MTV (1985) (Woohoo)
Her two kids in high school
They tell her that she's uncool (1985)
Cuz she's still preoccupied
With 19, 19, 1985

Like it? I love the lyrics to this. My favorite being "Thought she'd get her hand on a member of Duran Duran". Getting a hand on a member of Duran Duran=The 80s high school girl dream. This song is amazingly well-made.

Well, I just had a million Kitkats because I'm so tired today(Just waiting for the crash...)...

Anyway, today was an okay-ish day at school. The band/orchestra/chorus had their Winter Concert today, so I got to miss Social Studies(But this got swithced around later, so I did end up having SS), and half of Engineering. Other than that fact, the concert was really boring. All the Orchestra songs sounded the same, the Chorus ones were...weird, and I was half asleep by the time band started playing. At least it mixed the day up a little - Normal days are so boring. But because of all the stuff happening, plus snow, no days are "normal" at the moment.

The rest of the day went by fastish. I wore my Victims tee again to see if my science teacher had explored any TK music, but seeing as he didn't comment again, he either hasn't listened yet, or hates them. Hoping for the first option! We finally had our LA vocab quiz, and we had to write an essay about figurative language(After all the figurate language work we did last year...I never want to hear about it again. So, think how happy I was when we had to do it again this year) on the back.

FYI, I have an essay to do tonight, which is why I'm writing this earlier than I would normally. I always leave these essays till the last minute, so expect this to be a regular writing time on Monays from now on...

And now, onto politics...it's MLK day next week, or this week, I'm not sure. Well, we have to write "I have a dream..." speeachs, about something important happening in the world. Urgh. Don't get me wrong, MLK was amazing, but the essay is going to suck. Everyone is going to writing an amazinly bad, over-done, boring, speech. Also, I don't really care about much stuff happening at the moment. I'm probably just selfish, because none of the typical 2008-2009 problems in the world effect me much, but I'm so sick of hearing about it all. If I hear one more thing about global warming, I'm going to personally go round to Al Gore's house and punch his teeth out. Seriously, it's obsessive. I'd say 50% of kids are going to write about Global Warming, 40% about the economy, 5% about Iraq, and 5% about healthcare, education, border security and stuff like that. Basically, it's just going to be really boring.

To add to this, George Bush is getting kicked out of The White House soon. So this, in the case of most blogs, is when I start to ramble about how much I hate the guy, and that he wrecked the US while he was President. I'm not doing that. Being an outsider up until August 2007, I can't say much about him. No, I didn't exactly like him, but the George Bush hate speeches are getting as old and boring as the Barack Obama love speeches.

...I can't believe I just wrote those paragraphs, I hate talking about politics.

This blog post is turning about to be pretty long, but I still have a little more to say today.

Just bought some songs on iTunes yesterday. I know most kids my age worship music, and buy songs every day, but for me I only but every week, or couple of weeks. I'm not that much into music. The songs I purhcased were

1985 - Bowling For Soup(duh)
A Great Big Sled - The Killers(2006 unheard of Christmas single)
The Reflex - Duran Duran(Oh yeah, 80s!)
Meantime - The Futureheads(This has a very English feel to it)
Bittersweet Symphany - The Verve(Beautiful song)
Sex On Fire - Kings Of Leon( I bet the 10 year old little boy inside you got the better of you when I mentioned that song name, didn't t? No wonder Q said the album was best of 2008, this song is amazing! )

I also went to Barnes And Noble today, to get Blender magazine, and American Songwriter, which has The Killers stuff in it. The AS one has TK on the cover! I haven't read that one yet, but I read the Blender one. It's a short, interestng interview. Brandon talks about how he talks baby talk to his son on the phone....Aw.

As expected, I was in a bad mood yesterday, so I ddin't really want to say in there for very long yesterday. I did see a book that explains a human obsession - music. And not the whole "I'm completely obsessed with The Killers!!!" obsession type thing. The brain, everyone, needs music. You hear it every day. Even if you have 10 songs on your iPod, and listen to your iPod once a year, you still need music, its impossible to live without it.

Other than that, I did see another book I wanted - A Kurt Cobain biography. And, my typical parents, wouldn't let me get it - because of the stuff that happened in Kurt's life. That annoyed me A LOT. Do they think I'm not old enough to understand? Or too young to take it seriously? Or too young to actually hear about drugs? Or do they simply think I'm going to do the stuff that he did in his life? Maybe it's just the fact that it's...real. They sent me to Camp Kieve, where we talked about drugs. They were fully aware of that. Any kid with a brain knows that just because a celebrity did it, doesn't make it good to do. Let's say, I was in Barnes And Noble, and asked to buy Twilight. My parents say "What's it about?" and I say "it's about a girl called Bella, who's in love with a vampire, and when she's not swooning over her boyfriend, she does Cocaine" Well, in that case, they would have still let me buy Twilight. Why? Because it's just a story. Obviously, Kurt's life wasn't a story, but that doesn't make it any worse for me to hear that stuff. I really like his music. Aren't I entitled to a little more information about him? So, his life wasn't the most child friendly life ever, but does that make it worse to hear about? I think I'm old enough to know. Let's face it, it could have been worse. I wasn't picking up Slash's biography or anything....So, I don't get what's so bad. I'm entitled to know about him, no matter whatever happened in his life, aren't I? My parents are over-reacting, big time. Next time I go into Barnes ands Noble, I will came out with a Kurt Cobain biography, one way or another...

One last thing, finally got my profile picture to work! YAY, check it out! Obviously it isn't me...we all know who it is. Isn't it the best picture ever?!

Wow, this post got long. I need to go now, to start that essay.

Bye,

Debbie Just Hit The Wall, She Never Had It All

Hello!

Well, like the title? That has nothing to do with anyone called Debbie. It's from a song - 1985 by Bowling For Soup. It's about time some band wrote their song about something that isn't love. Don't get me wrong, love is a nice topic of a song. Seriously, it's impossible to hate Wonderwall(Is it possible to hate Oasis at all?) But, it's got a little overdone, you have to admit. Well, this song is about an uncool mother who's still living in 1985. Isn't that a cool song, right there? This song/band is very...pop-punk/power pop. Normally, I wouldn't go for that sort of thing, but I still love this song so much at the moment. It's a very sort of....teenager-ish song. If you don't know what I mean, neither do I really - It's hard to explain. Just the sort of thing a 15 year old kid blasts from their room once school is done on a sunny afternoon, reveling in their semi-perfect life. The sort of kid who is very unique and individual, but still doesn't let bad comments get them down, and loves life. I guess you're as confused as I am now, but this song is giving me a very clear visual image of who listens to this song...Even though the theme has nothing to do with the sort of person I described up there. I'll post all the lyrics tomorrow. But the chorus is

Since Bruse Springsteen, Madonna
Way Before Nirvana
There was U2, and Blondie
And music still on MTV
Her two kids in high school
They tell her that she's uncool
Cause she's stil preoccupied
With 19, 19, 1985

Unique, you have to admit! This song would be the perfect song to parody, I think. Like, change the lyrics to fit someone being stuck in 2005-2008 time period....I'll do this later, and post my creation sometime in the future.

Well, it turns out no one posted any comments on my post yesterday, regarding ideas to put in my 50th post. If you have any idea of what to put in, please do.

Well, here comes the boring stuff...

Right now, I am so sick of snow. Up until a few minutes ago, it was snowing. Now it's stopped. It'll start again in a few minutes. It's completely stopping us from going anywhere! I'm just stick of being in the house on the computer all day. Well, I can't say this is going to stop any day soon, considering it's only January. The only posotive thing that might come of all this snow this year is the possibility of a snow day or early release or something. But it seems that's never going to happen, because we get days added on at the end of the year...Just give us a snow day. The teachers can catch up, and one day added on at the end of June doesn't do anything really bad!

Well, I am still the highest bidder on my Killers 2009 calender on ebay(Which I may or may not have told you about yesterday, I can't remember), and there's a bit under an hour left. I think I'll get this one....Fingers crossed. Also, the poster I was getting for Christmas sold out, so the company let me order two replacements. I got the one of them as cowboys, and a duplicate of the one I have already. So, let's see what Killers memorabillia I have currently -

- 3 Killers posters
- 1 Killers 2009 Calender(Hopefully!)
- 2 Killers t-shirt
- 1 Victims t-shirt
- 1 Victims lanyard/card
- 1 Victims Welcome Card
- 1 Killers book
- 1 Killers DVD
- 1 Killers zip-up sweatshirt

So, yeah...my collection could be bigger. I spent around an hour last night just trying to find some Killers memorabillia. I have 300 dollars at the moment, so I can buy a lot of Killers stuff. It's amazing The Killers stuff they sell. Most of the weirdest stuff was just promotional stuff, so I can't get it but...I mean - Belts, sweatbands, candy, playing cards, gas lighters, and even underwear. No, not women's underwear - Mens' underwear. @.@

There's some stuff on The Victims website I really want. 3 Killers t-shirts, 1 Killers bag, 1 Killers bottle opener, 1 Killers buttons pack...Which I will buy eventually. I also realy want these two Killers sweatshirt, around 10 other t-shirts, 5 posters, 2 caps, another two bags, 1 more book, the singles, the Hot Fuss special(With 3 extra songs), more buttons, sew on Killers logo, bages, stickers, the vinyl copies of all the albums, and basically every Killers memorabillia I can find. Some girl on The Victims designed her whole basement around TK...it looks AMAZING. Killers pictures everywhere, stickers, posters...everything. I am SO jealous.

Well, I guess I should leave it here. Possibilites for what's happening today are the same as yesterday - Sledding or shopping. Or just staying in, possibly. It depends on what the weather feels like doing later today. I just hope we do something, considering tomorrow is going to ultimate pain and torture yet again. Also, I might make my own playlist later if I feel like it. Until tomorrow,

Bye!

Saturday Is HERE!

Well, hello. Saturday is here! Based on yesterday's post, I won't say "Happy Saturday" but I know we're all celebrating in our heads. Either that, or you're sleeping, and will continue doing so until 1, because it's Saturday, am I right?

Well, before I forget, last night was awesome. My Dad ordered us a Chinese takeaway. Actually, the food wasn't very good, and I'm not too keen on Chinese food anyway. But, it came with a load of fortune cookies. My first one said "A relationship will be taken to a next level" which...I didn't take much notice of. Could it be good? I don't no, I'm hoping the relationship has something to do with Brandon Flowers...Anyway, I opened a second one. Didn't read it, but noticed this one had lucky numbers on the back. The 2nd number - 26. I will be seeing The Killers on January 26th! Who knows if this proves to be lucky, but I certainly hope it will!!!

Well, thanks to a friend, I might soon be getting a picture onto my profile! Maybe...I need to find a good one first.

Well, I think we can all say that the holiday period is over now, despite all the TV commercials that are trying to hold onto it for as long as possible. Right? Well...I have now made mY New Years resolutions, even though it's really late. Better late than never? This is actually more of a "To-do list", but i'll still try to stick to it. I always forget, over the course of a year, what my New Years reolutions are, so this way I will have referance, and there's no way of getting out of it.

Meet The Killers - Yep, only two weeks away, but I'll try to do so. I know people say not to meet your heroes, because you'll be dissapointed, but I really really need to do this.

Tell The Killers What They Mean To Me - Actually, I'm not talking about the whole "Brandon I love you!!!" thing. I just need to tell them what their music means to me, and what it has done to me. That way I'll be happy, knowing we're sort of even...They did so much for me, I can't put it into words, and I need to thank them for it. If I don't do so when I meet them, I'll regret it forever.

Learn To Play Guitar - Yep, I got my guitar for a reason, and will learn to play it. Simple as that.

Stop overusing "," - Looking at that, that made a weird emote...But really, I want to stop overusing commas. I need to learn some grammar and start using some colons. Commas hate me, and I'm sick of them too.

Expand My Vocab. - Expand my vocabulary...Specifically, on this blog. I always start posts and paragraphs with "Anyway", "Well", "Really", "Moving On"....you get the idea. I'm sure it's boring to read.

Try To Keep This Blog Going - Yep, if you look through blogs, you'll see most of them are pretty much dead. I really want to keep this blog going! I always forget about stuff like this...But this time, I'm not going to!

Keep Talking With my Online Buddies - Easy to do. They're all so awesome, and I really want to keep chatting with all of them!

Never Forget About The Killers - If you're 12 years old, you go through "phases" of loving or hating something, that usually doesn't last for very long. I don't want The Killers to be like that. Absolutely not, that will not happen. I must never forget who they are and what they have done for me, they will be more than just a phase - I must love them forever.

Get a Life - Basically, I need to get myself off the computer. I'm guessing guitar will help...I just need more stuff to do.

Most importantly...

Accept Who I am - Me sounding cheesy again, right? Well, ever since I've moved here, I've been looking for friends and people who don't exist. About time I realised I'm never gonna have many friends in my school...My interests are way different that anyone else's. I'm going to except who I am, and be proud of it.

well, that's it. I doubt I'll do this...But I'll try.

Saw a video earlier of The Killers filming Spaceman. It's really bad quality, but it was interestng. There's this giant gold statue thing...Like the shape of a wedding cake. I'm confused, yet suspicious. And surprised how some guy got so close to the filming.

Looking through my old posts, it seems ths is my 45th post on this blog! Which means...50 is coming up. I know, it took like 8 months to get 50 posts...But the summer last year got in the way, as well as starting school again this year. But, we did get there, which is more than what can be said for most blogs. I don't know anything "special" I should put in my post...But PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE post suggestions, something, anything, I can do for that day! Please?
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Interesting use of seperation there. Anyway, the best thing about Saturday is the freedom, right? I don't know what I'm doing this weekend...Maybe sledding at the High School(They have hills that you can go down) with my sister and her friend. Maybe, it's supposed to snow sometime this weekend anyway. I also might go shopping this weekend....I sort of hate long-sleeved t-shirts, so I'm living in t-shirts now. My mom is forcing me to get some long-sleeved ones.

Well, goodbye for now. Have a great saturday, and please leave comments!

Happy Friday!

Hi,

And...Happy Friday! Part of me feels this week went by fast, and part of me feels it took forever. Either way, it's Friday now... Best day of the week. Number 1 - Another week of school is over. I feel that is enough of a reason to celebrate, don't you? Number 2 - It is Flowers Friday, if you have OCKD, like I do. One day of the week when we completely devote ourselves to Brandon Flowers worship. Since this is somewhat of a celebration, I'm adding a cool picture. If you type in "Psychedelic colors" into Google, you'll find it. For some odd reason, I love the whole 70s Psychpodelic thing. I love colors(Says the girl who's wearing all-black today)and vibrant colors. Though I don't do the whole hippie fashion thing, or draw peace signs all over my binders(Not that I have anything agains peace, obviously). I also wouldn't be caught dead in a disco...Me, people, dancing, and bad music don't normally go together, in case you haven't noticed. I might have done an 80s disco thing...But the fashion then was equaly disturbing. It still had cool colors and lights everywhere though. Either way, this post is going psychodelic today, enjoy the party!

So, turns out all of the quizes I was talking about yesterday were pretty easy, and the LA one got moved to Monday. Well, I can thank my Spanish teacher for freaking everyone out for no real reason. I was done was plenty of time to write "The Killers" in cool letters on the back of my quiz.

Today marks the first day I'm wearing my t-shirt from The Victims. I love it!!! I would have worn it yesterday, but my mom had to shrink it, because when I got it, it came down to my knees, almost. It was a small, but an adult small, and I'm only 5 foot 1ish. I really love it, and I wore it with my Killers sweatshirt today, TK apparel forever!

Odd thing is, I only got one comment about it. That comment being from my science teacher. I mean, it could have been worse, but I hate talking to teachers, especially him. After a brief explanation of location and genre, he seemed interested, and said he'd listen to The Killers. Good good, a possiblilty of another win on our side. I described them as "alternatve", but they're more "alternative-meets-pop" sort of thing, so I hope I didn't mislead him to much with it. According to a friend, he's 34, making him only a couple of years older than the band themselves. Which would mean, he probably also grew up around the 80s disco thing, giving him a likelihood to The Killers. For some reason, he's always struck me as someone who would be hugely into Oasis and the like, which would also tie into his age group, but when he was in his 20s. Either way, I hope he learns to like them, even if I don't like him.

Just to remember, just four more days until my poll is closing, so vote now! Whatever, really, I'd just like more readers. Who wouldn't? It's nice to feel wanted, even if it's just a Blog. I encourage anyone, if they happen to stumble across this Blog, to read through. Yes, it's boring, but I love blogging, and I would love readers!

Turns out my mom's iPod wasn't broken. My Dad was just being over-dramatic, yet again. The iPod is fine, so I no longer have that problem on my hands. I might actually buy a few more videos for it soon, maybe Somebody Told Me? We'll see, it shouldn't be long until the Spaceman video comes out. The Read My Mind video took 48 hours of recording, which was a big video, so I'd say Spaceman recording is over now. I hope everything went well. I'll have to research as to how long the Read My Mind video took to edit, to give me a rought time space as to when the video will come out.

Now, I'd like the help of anyone who reads...because I'm technologically stupid. How do you put a picture to your profile? I've tried many many times, and read the FAQs and guide a million times, and whenever a try to load a picture(From the web), nothing comes up. Help? Please? Begging you! Help me bloggers, this is driving me nuts!

I was just looking at my list of stuff to put on my blog, which is saved on my computer, and remembered something. I meant to say this a while back, and didn't...

Joseph, Better You Than Me - My quick, little review. Now, this song is beautiful. Very pretty, and amazingly well done. It certainly is a world away from 2007's "Don't Shoot Me Santa" the only likeliness, other than the theme, is the guitar solo. The Killers hardly ever do anything resembling an improvisation on guitar, and they do it in Christmas songs? I'm not sure I understand their reasoning, but it's not as bad as you might think, they actually work really well. Joseph is definantly way more mellow than DSMS(Don't Shoot Me Santa!), and the beauty of the song is the lyrics, you have to listen, and they're actually easy to understand, unlike what The Killers normally do. It's a cry to Joseph, maybe Joseph's soul talking. Talking about fears and anxiety of what was about the happen, that would change his life and change the world. I'm not religious, but you don't need to be to see the beauty in these words. DSMS was somewhat of a joke, in comparison to this. Ths is the sort of thing you can cry to, if you wanted to. DSMS is the sort of thing you could dance to. Not Somebody Told Me type dancing, but you could still dance, if you wanted to. Also, this song features Neil Tennant(see my last post), and, his voice is beautiful in this song. Ordinarily, if PSB did a Christmas single, it wouldn't work for me, but Neil only does one line - "With the plane and the lathe. The work never drove you mad. You're a maker, a creator. Not just somebody's dad " Possibly my favorite lyrics in the song. So, you've got Elton John, with a sort of harsh, strong voice, Brandon with a slightly high-pithced, yet strong, beautiful, sentimental, made-for-a-Christmas-single voice. And then in the middle, things are really building up to the powerful "Joseph, Better You Than Me" lines, and Neil comes in with his...slightly feminine, yet beautiful, unique, graceful voice with that line. I guess it ties it all together.

So, all's good with it? I'm going to throw some negativity down. Just a little. First off, the music video is terrible. Obviously, they can't do another DSMS video, but...it was just really religious. Nothing wrong with the religion, but I just think it doesn't work for a music video, you know? And my second, and last, complaint to this is this - Buy the song. Listen to the song. The song's listed as "Joseph Better You Than Me". The artist is listed as "The Killers feat. Elton John and Neil Tennant", correct? Elton sings way more than Brandon. It's practically his song. No wonder the lyrics sound different, they're probably his lyrics. Somehow, I don't feel this is The Killers labeling an Elton John song as their own, it was their idea. I think Elton John stole their thunder a bit with this one, a bit over-powering. Sure, he's an impressive musician...But it looks like The Killers had very little imput in this. Should Brandon be more assertive? Heck no! I don't know how many times I've been asked that, so Iwon't ask it of him. But, maybe, he shouldn't do another song with Elton...

So overall, great song, very pretty, definantly buy it. But I doubt I'll be able to look at Elton John the same way again...

Wow, my "short, quick review" turned into quite an epic. I fear I will see myself writing reviews for Rolling Stone in 20 years now...Hopefully I have more of a life than that, right?

Until tomorrow, when, hopefully, I'll have something better to write about. This weekend should be fairly uneventful, other than the possiblity of snow tubing.

Bye!

Sorry, We're Experiencing A Bit Of A PSB Breakdown Over Here...

Hello!

Current Status...

Current Mood: Tired
Eating: Nothing
Drinking: Orange Juice
Watching: Myself Type
Playing: Music?
Listening To:This Is Not The End - The Bravery

Just felt like fitting that in there. Got that from my sort-of-friend on ACC(Animal Crossing Community) who posts that in her buddy thread every time she logs on. Moving on...

Ah, the title....What does PSB stand for, you're asking, right? PSB stands for Pet Shop Boys. I doubt that's a standard abbreviation, but I'm using it. Does it stand for anything else? I can't think of it anything else currently....Now, if you weren't born in the 80s, then congratulations if you know who these guys are. If you don't, then I'm not entirely surprised, but you're missing out on something truly amazing. Pet Shop Boys were, basically, an 80s pop/techno group/band. For an 80s band, they have a fairly normal name, as apposed to stuff like Duran Duran and Depeche Mode! About a month ago, my iPod was charging, so I started listening to my mom's iPod instead. In it, I discovered Pet Shop Boys, a song called "Always On My Mind". I had heard of them before, a BF favorite in fact, so I listened. And I listened. And I listened. And I fell in love with the song. For about two weeks, that was all I listened to. It took priority over The Killers, for a brief period in time. They were amazing, and I still love the song so much. Neil Tennant's voice is possibly...the 3rd best voice ever. Next to BF, and "that Galagher brother", or however you spell his last name. It's sort of resembles modern day pop-punk singers, but adds something special to it all, it's hard to explain. It works well with the music, the music being...the pop-est band I have on my iPod. But, good pop, not Coby Calait stlye pop or anything. I've currently only heard that one song, but this afternoon I intend to YouTube and find more...Here's hoping they're not just Journey, and "Always On My Mind" is there "Don't Stop Believing" equivilant -- A one-hit wonder. I'd die if they happened. I feel like I now need PSB in my life.

Second off in this post, I'd like to enquire as to who voted in my poll, other than myself? I don't know if this is a joke...But if it isn't, YOU NEED HELP!!! They all look amazing! Take a close look at a picture! If this doesn't help, go return to Joe Jonas and Edward Cullen, you clearly need more of a life, little girl.

Well, I won't linger on that topic. I doubt I'll be lingering online for much more at the moment, my online radio station is currently dishing me out an unhealthy dosage of piano rock/soft rock. Seriously, you add Keane to your band list, and they give you this? My radio station is having somewhat of a personality crisis at the moment. Sometimes it'll play some pop-punk and emo, sometimes alternative, sometimes depressing piano rock, and sometimes some 80s pop or oldies. If only I could make my mind up aout which genre I like best, is I guess what it all comes down to.

Anyway(I say that word too much...), sometime last night, my mom's iPod decided to break. Not snap in half or anything, but it just wouldn't turn on. My Dad looked into it, and in his overly-pessimistic way, told us that the iPod had no chance of survival whatsoever, something to do with the battery. Without consulting me, he headed to Amazon to look for a replacement iPod for my mom. You see, I've been wanting a new iPod for a while now. Obviously, the guitar had to come first on my Christmas list, so I couldn't also get it. But the iPod is now first on my birsthday list...So, to see my mom almost gettinga new iPod was very...upsetting to myself. I get all hung up about little things like that, you see. It's sort of the opposite of what you see typically...You see 12 year old girls flashing off their pink iTouches and 4th generation Nanos to their friends, and their mothers, if anything, have iPod Shuffles and listen to The Who or Rolling stones when they have a spare minute. My mom's iPod was 3rd generation, mine was 2nd. Slightly weird.

It seemed to me, that my Dad had no respect or consideration for my opinion, which wouldn't be out of the ordinary for him. I guess that when you sign the imaginary fatherhood contract, you expect some hate from your children, but I feel this to be TOTALLY UNFAIR. Later on , my a-lot-nicer-than-my-Dad, mother offered me the iPod as an early birthday present, so she could have my old one. Not an easy decision. For various reasons-

-I have...a sort of bond with my current iPod, I don't want to not use it without much warning

-It makes me look bad, a new iPod, like I'm begging my parents for all the cool stuff

-I'm gonna get in really bad moods in the next couple of months, a new iPod in April would really help all of that, instead of a lot of little presents

See? I'm still considering all of this, and it's annoying me.

Moving on...

The time is currently 4:11, my time zone. The afternoon is basically dissapearing, the sun is sort of going now...At this time, this certainly is not the perfect day to have 3 quizes tomorrow. I have an LA one tomorrow, which is basically vocab, about 10 words, which I haven't studied for, but shouldn't be too hard. Secondly, the math one. I'm happy we're finally getting this done, it's been approaching for a couple of weeks, but Christmas and snow has got in the way. I don't really know what it's on...but i'll do fine.

So, 1/2 an hour, an hour of studying there? No problem, if not we had a Spanish quiz added on to it. She told us about it today, 1 day to study. Only four days going over 1 page of vocab. No one's going to do well, I'll be lucky to get an 80. I'm completely terrifed of this at the moment!

Sould be going now, I really do need to "hit the books" if I want to keep my A in Spanish(I feel it slipping away as I type...)

Bye,
