I AM FUCKIN SICK OF YOU
not a "you" in general, but a group of "you"s. all of YOU better grow some balls or maybe a brain and stop faking ever single thing you do. I AM SICK of people who pretend to know bands theyve never heard. maybe listening to it because one of their friends do or because they think the guys are cute. I was on facebook and saw a certain someone's status and it was a lyric to a song i know for a fact they dont know from a band that i am borderline obsessed with. what the fuck? pathetic i say. actually, i scream it. im sick of lame ass people who have their head so far up their asses. they dont realize that music isnt about looking cool while playing it or listening to it. they have this Paramore mindset, that its all about the hair and scene and following whatever the little front woman says. they all get into this single file line begging for words of wisdom from a 19 year old child prodigy. and the kids that are all "OMGZ A7X IS SO THA BESTEST! OMG SO SEXXXY!" and they only listen to A7X's newest 2 albums, which in my opinion suck so bad its not even funny. M's voice got all whiney and pathetic and all he does it whine and not actually sing. it makes me cry.
dont get me wrong, i loved paramore when i was in middle school and the only album they had was All We Know and obviously some older EP's, and it was wondeful. nobody cared to go see them in a huge stadium, nobody got the haylee williams hair because they wanted to be a "natural orange" like her. nobody gave a fuck how much shit she put in her hair, they just liked her voice. her lyrics. nobody cared really what she had to say during shows. she didnt have 10 minute talk breaks during shows. Honestly, i wouldnt go see paramore to hear haylee's pre-teen sounding voice, i'd go to hear some old songs.
i think things like that have killed rock music. people being so concerned about fashion and their look, not their sound. i mean im not a democrat, im not an anarchist, im not into politics much anymore. but i DO listen to music that endorses that shit, NOFX, anarcho punk, antiflag, or stuff. call me hypocritical, but i like the sound. not necessarily the message, but the sound. thats enough for me. you wont hear someone singing about what i believe in. unless its Michael Graves, but im more of a Danzig fan...
i mean, i do believe in animal rights (NOFX, Alkaline Trio, Propagandhi, Anti-Flag, etc.) and unity (op. ivy, LC/CV, etc.) but i DO support the war in iraq and our troops, and i have views along the lines of this or this. Anarchy is most definitely not logical (sorry AM! i love you Tom even though i dont think your on the right track there... get it? RIGHT track? hahaha) but anyways, i swore i wouldnt talk about politics.
back to people being fake dumbshits. STOP IT. im such a goddamn nice person that i dont say shit about it but i know i SHOULD. im getting pissed that to everyone now its all about listening to the right bands and dressing the right way.

one more thing: I hate LIARS. friends that lie mostly. and i have many of those. so, um, FUCK OFF.

:)

Fucked Up Shit

well, i was just reading something and it made me think, and i came to the conclusion that love does not exist for me. and as far as im concerned it might never.

You'll Be Just Fine

Something i dont understand: Disney Music. I was watching TV (Ill admit, i was watching Life With Derek. What can i say? its fuckin hilarious) and a song called "Sneaker Night" or something like that came on by the chick with the naked pictures, Vanessa Hudgens. I dont get why or how these people get record deals, or even got into acting in the first place. i sont see any significant talent or anything different or special in these people. Were they just in the right place at the right time?
Like Hilary Duff, Raven, Zak Efron, or Miley Cyrus. whats so great about them? They're tools. Disney uses them to make millions on product sales. Their just profit whores if you ask me.

So you dont eat meat? (July 4, 2008 - Friday)

HAHAHA!!! this is a message i just got from someone on youtube. i thought id share this with everyone.

"so you dont eat meat?

Why do you want to fight the meat industy? There is no animal cruielty there. Take chicken for example. They way they raise chickens are putting them in a box with their heads exposed so they can feed. Well to tell you the truth chickens are type of bird and birds especially chickens are too dumb to care what their life is about. And when they are ready to die, they do not die a painful death at all. Some aniamls are too dumb to feel any pain at all. And cows have a nice life because they get to eat all day and get fat. They dont care when they die either. If pigs could become humans they would fry up their brothers and eat them, mmmmhhhhh bacon. Fish, there are so many fish in the world that it doesnt bother them if they are caught and eaten.

Girls, I swear they are hot but i dont know sometimes i just have problems with them"

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAAAAAA!!!!!! i seriously died when i read that. how stupid and ignorant can people be?

here was my response:

Re: so you dont eat meat?

WOW. that was pretty much the most stupid paragraph ive ever read in my life.
do some research. animals feel pain, just as any other living being does. they die painful deaths in factory farms. they die painful deaths by being skinned alive for "fashion."
what are you, 10? before you reply to me, if you even choose to, do some research. people like you are why this torture is still apart of making animals into "food." everything you said in your message is completely idealistic and wrong. that sounds like some fairy tale your parents told you in order to get you to eat meat. thats not how it happens, and you should know that. EDUCATE YOURSELF AND STOP SPREADING IGNORANCE.

Meet your Meat

The video that all meat-eaters should watch and every vegetarian should own, "Meet Your Meat", narrated by Alec Baldwin, covers each stage of life of animals raised for food. No PETA videos are copyrighted, so copy them for everyone you know.

Over And Out (July 1, 2008 - Tuesday)

Well, ive had some deep arguments about gay rights in my life but none quite as crazy as this one. I am not gay/lesbian/bi. but i have many friends that are homosexual or bisexual and i wouldnt change them for the world.
i had a nice long conversation with a man named MICHAEL BURR. heres how it went:

ok, so you send me a request to attend "homosexuality, a freedom gone too far?"
ONE: IF GOD CREATED MAN EQUAL, WHY IS IT WRONG TO BE GAY?
DOESNT YOU GOD SAY HE LOVES EVERYONE THE SAME?
you are a ignorant fuck. you are contradicting yourself. why the hell do you hate gay people? is it wrong to be gay? are gay people hindering your 'jesus is everything' lifestyle? how about you get yoour head out of your ass and smell reality. GAY PEOPLE ARE PEOPLE. THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THAT.
do you think beyond the print in the bible? have you ever stopped to think for yourself? question the bible? TRY IT. i went to christian school for 13 years. hell, my name is christi. but that wasnt my choice. ive grown up in a christian family, BUT i thought for myself.
i am a member of Satan Youth. satanists are athiests (bet you didnt know that did you Mr. follower?)
your god is a lie. fuck religion. EXPLAIN TO ME, PLEASE, HOW GAY PEOPLE ARE BAD OR WRONG. I WOULD LOVE TO HEAR YOUR EXPLANATION.

i don't hate people....it's aganist my faith......were all God chirldern striving to do his will....it would be hard for you to understand me because you don't believe in the Bible but i have a question for you...if it's ok to be a homosexual then why do women need men and men need women to have chirldern?....why can't they make their own babies?......i know the answer to this..... they can't....u know why because it don't make sense....and i'm also voting for obama!!!!.....

ok. voting for obama? is that because war is against your religion? how about fighting terrorism? is that against your religion? yeah, men and women need to have sex to have kids, i get that. but if two people love each other, WHY AND HOW IS IT WRONG?
and we're not all striving to do his will and im definitely not his child. and its against your will to hate? WOW THATS LAME. sorry to sound like an asshole, but its human nature to hate. if someone comes into your house and kills your cat, do you love them?
PEOPLE ARE HOMOSEXUAL AND THAT IS NOT WRONG. ITS HOW THEY ARE. DOES GOD LOVE GAY PEOPLE, OR DOES HE HATE THEM? oh, but isnt hate against his religion? your god is a bit arrogant if you ask me. making up all these rules for me, but not following them himself.
explain that to me. does god want the gay people dead? does he want them to go away? that doesnt sound like love to me michael...
please, elaborate. because all my years of this bullshit being fed to me has not explained this. you are what people like me call "extremists" and boy are you in for disappointment when you die.
sorry, but theres nothing up there.
and do you love terrorists murderers and rapists? because hate is against your religion? and do you believe in the death penalty against the said offenders, or is that killing against your religion?

then he invited me to another anti gay group

stop inviting me to your dumb shit.
you are a sick and hateful human being and i dont think your 'god' would approve.
you strike me as the kind of person who regurgitates the bible to people, yet lives otherwise.
GAY PEOPLE ARE PEOPLE. THEY ARE NO BETTER NOR WORSE THAN ANYONE ELSE. YOU AS A CHRISTIAN "DO GOODER" SHOULD REALIZE THIS. YOUR HATRED FOR GAYS BRINGS A BAD REP TO YOUR FELLOW CHRISTIANS.
IMAGINE IF YOU WERE OPPRESSED FOR BEING STRAIGHT. OR FOR BEING CHRISTIAN. I BET YOU WERENT ALIVE FOR THE CIVIL RIGHTS MOVEMENT SO YOU DONT KNOW WHAT IT WAS LIKE THEN.
THINK BEFORE YOU ACT YOU SICK TWISTED ASSHOLE.

WE ARE ALL PEOPLE, NO MATTER THE SEXUAL ORIENTATION, RACE, RELIGION, OR GENDER. YOU DO NOT LIVE BY WHAT YOU PREACH.

Well, he never responded to me. ive grown up in a christian family in christian schools with church on most sundays for about 9 years. this easter was the first easter that i did not attend church. and boy was that a good decision. why? because i slept late. im NOT waking up at 8 to be fed the same shit that that ive been getting for 15 years. i even think my parents have been catching on to me not believing. they even crack jokes at it, which scares me because i would think theyd be VERY angry. i mean, they think i believe in god, but what they dont know is i DONT.

No One Wants To Love (June 30, 2008 - Monday)

Well, its been a while since i wrote a blog. Today has been a good day, tomorrow (or actually in 10 minutes) alkaline trio's new album will be availiable. (Betty i know your looking forward to that!!!!) im not so sure about the album, but i know it'll grow on me.

we had a successful BP AIM chat today, which was a crapload of fun. everything looks good so far. im going to delaware in two weeks and i might see trio before then.

well, just posting for the sake of posting.

Those Trusty Chords Could Pull Me Through (June 20, 2008 - Friday)

i saw trio last night!
i was at the front of the bar in the mid-right in front of danny!!
it was way loud but we couldnt really hear matt or his guitar (but the people in the balcony could...) but it was amazing nonetheless. im so sore right now. and there was a huge fight and some guy got kicked out. then this kid started crowdsurfing, which is banned in the venue, and, while the bouncer was carrying the kid away, Matt gave him a high five and a pick and brought him up on stage. AMAZING!
and derek smiled at me. w00t.
i was amazed at how good they looked. my mom thinks danny is sexy. but mr. skibers looked vicious. best. night. ever.
BUT THEY DITCHED THE FUCKIN MEET AND GREET!
oh! and matt kept on messing up, especially during Old School Reasons, and he was like "What am i doing!?!?!?!? AHHHHH!!!!" and he was holding his head and screaming. it was great. and he also said something about finding god, but i couldnt hear him well, only a few words, but i think he said Derek was god?
