I'm So Bored of the U.S.A.

Not only is it the name of the Clash song I'm listening to it's also how I feel. I've been planning a 9-10 day trip to Spain for almost a year now and it's closer than ever. My flight leaves on Saturday February 16th and I'm dying to get out of here! haha I haven't traveled much (give me time I'm still young); been to 4 countries -soon to be 5 - outside of the United States. Just thought I'd share my current thought :) And I will most definitely post photos and news after my trip.

Take care,

Anticipations kills!! When?!? Tell me when!!

RANCID ENTERS STUDIO
[parts excluded]

Band teams with Long-time Producer Brett Gurewitz to Record Follow-up to 2003's Acclaimed Indestructible


(Los Angeles) The incomparable punk band Rancid began recording today in a studio on the California coast with long-time friend, producer and label president Brett Gurewitz, who has worked with Rancid on virtually every record in their extensive, accomplished career.

...a new Rancid record is different -something special, never hasty or perfunctory, as their fervent, untiring fans have learned over the years. A Rancid record is an organic thing, not cultivated, but rather harvested wild; filled to the brim with all the living done in between stints in the studio. This record will be no different. Sweated over, hammered out and brought forth, the yet untitled release will have all the hard knocks and big wins of lives lived prodigiously...

...Slated for a release later in the year on Epitaph/Hellcat, the new Rancid record promises to be a phenomenal addition to a consistently exceptional career.

Receiving Messages

So earlier I received an email from someone who quickly scrolled through my blog. There comment was something along the lines of -why don't I have anything about current events or things that really matter? So I'm going to blog the answer. Why? Because this is a blog I created for myself and I clearly state in the description of it that it's just something for me to let my thoughts out on. They may not be life changing realizations nor may they be about politics, war, or any other event that's consider debatable and relevant...it's sort of like an online journal. To share my most ridiculous and random thoughts I choose to share. I apologize not every word that comes from my keyboard is a fragment of genius. I don't have many readers, most days no one even reads these posts of mine -but I don't mind....I still write like someone is reading just to do it....because I want to.
Simple enough.


Take care.

One Missed Call...wtf?

Ok so I managed to forget about this movie coming out until I saw an advert. for it online...

I don't know when it comes out or if it's already...but if it is already and you've seen it -let me know what you think of it.

My guess is the U.S. fucked up another good movie from Japan that they should have just left alone....

anyone remember Chakushin ari?
I bet not....or Chakushin ari 2? Are they going to screw over the sequel too? (even though the first was much better than the sequel)

I don't care if I don't speak Japanese but I prefer a good movie in subtitles over a bad movie in English.

........
that's it for this morning.
take it easy.

Going Digital; and other things today

I finally got my digital camera and I'm like a kid with candy (hooray for outdated sayings). Now I may actually be useful at events haha. As for now I'm finding anything and everything to take photos of. It's also going to be very helpful in my Graphic Arts and Animation classes.



On another note -no matter your political affiliation. If you're a fan of poetry, I suggest picking up Red Sky At Night: Socialist Poetry. I believe it has somewhere abouts 170+ poems and I'm slowly making my way through it a week after buying it. Absolutely love it -if you're a fan of poetry as always.

Happy 2008.
Love ya.

Wanted to see him with the title. At least it went to Mac Danzig. Can't wait to see him at 155.

War put a beatdown on J-Roc last night haha

Lyrics of the Day haha

"Freeze Up"
Operation Ivy



Empty factories to the east and all our waste
The shape of things that came shows on the broken workers face
To the west you'll find our silicon promised lands where
Machines replace our minds for systematic profit plans
The course of human progress staggers like a drunk
Its steps are quick and heavy and its mind is slow and blunt
I look for optimism but I just dont know
Its seeds are planted in a poison place where nothing grows

[Chorus]
It's 1989 stand up and take a look around
Weathers bitter tension it seems is sinking down
Drunk with power and fighting one another
Every hour shows the winter getting harder
There's a freeze up coming... [ad libs]

One nation stands the tallest radiating blinding light
Plastic and fluorescent energy robbing us of sight
Set in our way content with our decay
We wave the flag of freedom as we conquer and invade
Ever ask yourself where's my place in this hell
But no ones there to tell you cuz they dont know that themselves
The well rehearsed lines from our elated politicians
No longer offer solace we can see the self destruction

[Chorus]

Just one political song, just one political song
to drop into the list that stretches years and years long
[x2]

Static and division is increasing like a storm,
we are shelter, we are forewarned,
nothing can be changed except ourselves,
nothing can be changed except ourselves,

There's a freeze up coming... [ad libs]

For the love of RED

My team, my players.
Love.
