New Video and stuff
2003-08-22 14:31:38
Chris and I started collaborating on a new video today. We've had this idea in the works for a while, and his plans for today were cancelled, so we began to look for clips and stuff. I'm not gonna give away the idea, because... well I'm really paranoid about my idea's being stolen. Especially because me and Chris work really hard to come up with good ideas for videos.
I've also been thinking of a lot of new ideas becasue I have been downloading a lot of Cake songs. I love Cake! (the band and the food... mmm ice cream cake, I should go buy one of those...) I absolutely love Cake's style of music. It's so original, or so I think. I just haven't heard anything else like it. There are a few songs that just annoy the hell out of me, like "stickshifts and safetybelts" and "race car ya-yas" bad songs! In my opinion that is, to each his own I suppose. But songs like "Friend is a Four Letter Word" and "Frank Sinatra" are excellent.
I think one of the major reasons I haven't been working on my music video is because I would rather listen to these songs. When I work on my music video, I can't listen to them =( and I have to listen to a song I've heard umpteen million times! argh!
OH! TONIGHT I'M GOING TO SEE ADAM FERRARA! I'm so excited! We got Chrissy and my dad tickets for their birthday. And it's today! Brian, Sam, and Joey are so jealous =P all I have to say to them is "NAAAAAHHHH HAAAA! I'm going to see Adam Ferrara" sorry, I don't get much opportunity to gloat. I've heard his "comedy central presents" thing a bunch of times, but I watched it for the first time a week ago when I was at Brian's. The video makes it soooo much funnier. I really feel like he's talking about me when he does his whole thing about his girlfriend never telling him things. if you aren't familiar. here it goes. (I'm kinda paraphrashing here, I don't have it memorized)
GF: "If you Don't know what you did, I'm not telling you!"
Adam: "Well then don't be surprised if this shit happens again!" ladies, did some old grandma come up to you when you were a little girl and say "Now don't tell 'em dear, drives 'em crazay!" because I know that my grandfather said to me "Oh you'll never know, that's why I drink in the morning"
It's soooooo funny cause I do that to Sam all the time! I never tell him, he never does anything really, but if I give him a look... he's just like "what?!" and I say nothing ^_^ and sometimes, for no reason, I'll go to my friend Tony "OMG TONY! I'M NEVER TALKING TO YOU AGAIN!" and I won't talk to him for like... a couple hours in school, for no reason. It's soooo funny. Don't get me wrong, I love my guys ^_^ but it's so funny when they don't know! I can't wait to see Adam Ferrara tonight! the show is at 11:00pm o_O it'll be fun though ^_^ Tickets weren't expensive either. PH34R MY TICKETS! hehe, ok, well I'm done, I'll end this rant with a song I wrote, it's not done yet. And it's more for a guy to sing than for me... but still, I like it. Please tell me what you think (Chirusea9156@aol.com my AIM is trunks9156)
There's an angel standing in my doorway
Says she needs a place to stay
On the floor, bloody feather
Outside the door, stormy weather
Face is tired and forlorn
Robes are dirty and torn
She keeps her arms open
But her heart is broken
Deep sigh, left behind
wonder why, chains bind
Sing a piercing song
what did she do wrong
A song of self worth
sing sing swing
Emotions flowing back and fourth
swing swing swing
Bell tolls way up north
ring ring ring
sing angel sing

ugh, my life is just soooo hard *end sarcasm* I sat around today working on summer reading. I don't mind the reading part, I actually enjoyed the book I read this summer (particularly because I had already read it before, but it was a good book none the less) it's the project that really pisses me off. I made a "collage" for my project, and by "collage" I mean it's a large poster with 15 pictures on it that relate to my book. I wish we could just keep a reading log and write a summery or something. I hate making and presenting projects!
I was actually gonna finish the project yesterday, but me and my friend Ashley decided to walk to scumbies (cumberland farms, about 2 miles or so from our houses, we're neighbors) my feet were killing me when I got home, but it did provide distraction from that god awful project for about 3 hours. I'm currently reading my "book of choice" I'm probably gonna end up just rereading one of my favorite books. I'm currently reading "brave new world" by Aldous Huxley. It's really... confusing/weird/interesting. It started off really slowly. Sam gave it to me a while ago (he stole it from my school library, and mailed it to me for my birthday along with an array of other random objects) it's his favorite book, so I figured I would give it a try.
But then again, I don't know if I can trust his opinion. He is in love with Digi Charat... which I... ermm... didn't like at all. And I thought FLCL was one of the dumbest animes I've ever seen, but he's obsessed with it. I should probably give some of these things another try, since it's been about a year since I've seen them, and that way he can't get mad at me for having bad taste =P My other friend Ashley (not my neighbor) loves FLCL, I used to own the first DVD, she loved it when I let her borrow it, so I just let her keep it. She also likes Excel Saga, yet another anime that hurts my brain o_O
Im currently going on what I like to call "band downloading sprees" where I just download a butt load of songs from one band. Yesterday I downloaded a whole album of songs from Reel Big Fish. I LOVE REEL BIG FISH now! I've been listening to these songs over and over again. I'm currently downloading a lot of songs by Cake. I hadn't heard them until a couple days ago, and I really like them. So... yeah, downloading.
K, I'm gonna stop ranting. I'm out
PS: haven't been working on my AMV, too lazy, still having a lack of motivation. -
blargh and stuff
2003-08-19 20:56:31
blargh! don't ask what that was for, not even I know. I was workin on my music video today... for like... 20 minutes. It's pretty good, I think, but there are some parts that bother me, and for some reason, I've lost all motivation to work on it for now. I really wanna work on this new idea that I have. But I don't have the DVDs to get the footage, and I AM NOT using downloaded footage! argh, cause the downloads I have of this anime are so incredibly horrible. two words should give you a rough idea of how bad they are: real media. that doesn't even begin to explain it. But oh well, I know a nice place where I can rent the DVDs. Please don't judge me, I would absolutely love to buy this series, but it is so incredibly expensive it's not even funny. I haven't had any source of income for a little while. I have hardly any money =( and I really wanna buy my friends some kick arse Christmas presents this year.
Yes I am already thinking about Christmas. This is how I think of things in terms of saving my money: From after Christmas until the Otakon, almost all of the money I earn goes in my bank account, and I blow it all at the Otakon. Any time between Otakon and Christmas, my money is saved for presents. I don't have a lot of friends that I hang out with outside of school, but I do have a lot of people I want to get things for. And then there are presents for my best friends, which I like to spend a small fortune on for each person. I can't wait for Christmas, I love to go shopping, and I absolutely just LOVE LOVE LOVE seeing the expression on my friends faces when I give them just what they wanted ^_^ It truly is better to give than to recieve (I do love to recieve though... lol)
I got my school schedual yesterday =O I have classes that I didn't even sign up for! I have gym with one of my best friends, her brother, and another of my good friends. I have Advanced Topics (ermm, if no one else has this, it's the class after Algebra 2, and before pre-calc) with Chrissy (bro's gf) ^_^ I was kinda upset cause she said we probably wouldn't have any classes together since she is a senior and I am a sophmore, and she is taking almost all classes just for seniors, but when she looked at my schedual she said we had topics together, and I was like "yay yay yay!" because although I'm pretty good at math, I loathe it. (which sucks, because math is one of the 2 classes in school that I find useful, the other is foreign language) I also have topics with my friend Kristin ^_^ and, thank god for those classes I didn't sign up for, I'm gonna switch out of them and take an independant study in "video editing" my bro did lots of independant studies for things like that. And the teacher who will be "overseeing" my ind. study really loved me when I was in his graphic arts class. The class will basically be me, making music videos, for one block (85 minutes) a day. Easy 100 if you ask me ^_^ Getting a 100 in a class is one of the biggest ego boosts you can get.
Wow this is getting long, I'm just ranting here, sorry. but argh! *shoots kazaa* my download has 4k left and it can't find a damned source! c'mon! AAAARRRRGGGHHHHH!!!!!!!!! I just want my song =( is that so much to ask?
Ok well I better stop writing... because... just because. I have no excuse except for that this is dumb. I'm out -
airports are evil
2003-08-18 14:21:35
I just got back from the airport. Brian and his gf and I dropped Sam off =( now that was just the most depressing moment of my life... damn, I'm so sad now =( I miss him already. he's supposed to come back in December, but might not have enough money too because he is going to Japan (lucky! it's a school thing, he is going to do a presentation... grr... so jealous!) in conclusion, airports can lick my sweaty nut sack! (haha, "ode to my car" anyone? my friend Darlene and I are obsessed with the line "whoever designed my car can lick my sweaty nut sack")
anyway, I haven't been working on my video because 1) I'm angry at it and 2) I've been hanging out with Sam every day, all day (pretty much) for the time that he was here... but now he's gone, so I can start working again. I also have a really good idea for another video I wanna do if I can get the footage.
but eeks, school starts on the 3rd, and I have a summer reading *shudder* project to complete before then o_O I don't mind the reading, it's the project and presenting it that bothers me. Whoever proposed that we have to pass summer reading to graduate is a dumbass, and should be shot in the head! so full of spite!
k, in an angry/upset/sad mood right now... time to stop writing... I'm out -
*yawn*

6:15am. 2 hours of sleep... that number is rounded up. i kept waking up. I got home at 11, got in bed before 12, didn't fall asleep till after 3... o_o what did I eat last night?! one piece of pizza and not even a whole can of pepsi. I'm actually thinking that's all I ate... all day. I'm not anorexic I swear! Everything before last night is like... *whoosh* I don't remember it. Wait! yes I do! I worked on my video for four hours, it's coming out... ergh, I'm not liking it so much. And I didn't go online at all, because I was waiting for a phone call, and then I went to bring the garbage cans in from the street, and I got the call for the 2 minutes I was outside! think of the irony! got a call on the other phoneline as soon as I came inside, my friend said "you should pick up you're phone more often" meh... but... chores! I didn't even wanna leave the house cause I was afraid I would miss the call, and I would cry.
Anyway, back to the vid. I refuse to make a bad music vid, I refuse to let people that aren't my friends or family see a music video that isn't as good as I can possibly make it. I just need a break so that I can regroup. I know I can do better than I'm doing, I'm just getting frustrated, and it's skipping when I play it. Sometimes it does, sometimes it doesn't, it's quite aggravating.
And with all the crazay shizzat that's been going on, I finally saw my friend Sam last night. How long has it been? 8 months I believe. I was at his friend (and my friend) Brian's house last night. my mom wouldn't let me sleep over :-( she thinks I'm a hoe and we were all gonna have a massive orgy or something... lol. which is funny, because I am the impossibly perfect child (no, my ego isn't big, but there is absolutley no dirt to be found on me, I get at least honors on every report card, and I hang out with the "right" people...) maybe friday night. That would be the shizzdiggle, yo (don't mind my attempt to be ghetto-rapper-like... I'm the biggest dork on the face of the planet)
I'm going to end this entry with my four new favorite songs, I downloaded all of them recently, even though only one of them is a new song. (this isn't in order)
1. Losing My Religion - REM (I heard this song in my bro's girlfriends car, it's one of her favorite songs, I've heard it before, but never knew the name. I love it now)
2. You Are My Number One - Smash Mouth (I saw Smash Mouth perform this on Conan a couple nights ago... I love Conan... I love this song)
3. Dela - i dunno the artist, it's from the disney movie George of the Jungle (chris and chrissy and I watched George of the Jungle the other night, one of the few movies I actually own. haha, it's not as good as I remember it, but this song is excellent)
4. Discovery Channel - Bloodhound Gang (another song I heard in Chrissy's car, I'd completely forgotten about this song, it's kinda... dirty... yes that's the word, but I love it anyway.)
go download these songs if you don't already have them, go now! faster! what are you still reading for?! GO! hehe ^_^
I'm out
