It's Summer!....again

Hey everyone. It's been a year since i made that Happy Summer post, no? Well, a little more than a year. But hey, 7th grade is over, one more year left of middle school, then I'm out of there. Yipee.
So, I've seen the new star trek movie 3 times already. It's incredible, go see it now if you have a life. Seriously, I'm not even a trekkie and I loved it. The score is great, the actors are great, the special effects are great. Some of the plotline is a little confusing, but thats alright. All the other stuff makes up for it.


Albums One Must Buy Now, Be He Human Or Merman:

1. Give Up- The Postal Service
2. The Sunset Tree- The Mountain Goats
3. Wicked (original cast recording) - Various Artists
4. Impeccable Blahs- Say Hi To Your Mom
5. Elton John: The Greatest Hits 1970-2002 - Elton John


If you're looking for a good book, I recommmend Troy by Adele Geras, a fabulously writtten retelling of the Trojan War aka Homer's Iliad (Greek vs Trojans!! Whoo Hooo!). It's a young adult book, so obviously it's a bit easier to comprehed.

Have a lovely day

E.T. Thompson IV The Great

damn. its been long

hey everyone. its been a while, i know, but....umm....suck it. so, i'm listening to this album right now, and i'm here to tell you to go out and buy it, then listen to it a zillion times. are you listening?
Artist: Madonna Album: American Life

This album is great. i think it has her best work, and the songs are so catchy and uplifting. My favorite songs are American Life, Love Profusion, Nothing Fails, Intervention, and X-Static Process.

Music Of The Month

Hello fellow peopleof the internet! just wanted to apologiza for previous feelings ramble. pardon. from now on, unless my life gets to an unbearable point of suck, i pinky promise not to post that stuff anymore.

BACK TO THE MAIN POST PURPOSE!

i just wanted to inform you that from now on i will be posting a monthly...um...post on music. it will contain either my top 5 favorite songs of the past month, or my top 3 favorite albums. each would contain a review, but i haven't decided which to do yet. in a few days time, i'll put my first up. even though i'm liable to forget, i'll try! this is gonna be so mucho fun amigos! we're gettin' bilingual now!

if you wish to see some of my musical preferences, see the about me thing, or something. i have no idea how to work this thing. also, i love getting recommendations for music to listen to or blog about, so just email me!

i gotta jet folks, but have a happy tuesday and a merry december second!

closing word-

"We like to talk big, vampires do. I'm going to destroy the world. That's just tough guy talk. Strutting around with your friends over a pint of blood. The truth is, I like this world. You've got – the dog racing, Manchester United, and you've got people: billions of people walking around like Happy Meals with legs. It's all right here. But then someone comes along with a vision, with a real passion for destruction. Angel could pull it off. Goodbye Piccadilly, farewell Leicester bloody Square." — Spike

a thoughtful confession of feelings from yours truly

hey everyone. i'm depressed. majorly. it's like my life is just one big thing of suck, you know? i bet that if you gathered my day-to-day feelings in a jar and unleashed them upon the economy, America would kick ass (to make up for the suck job Bush has done the past eight years).
and the even worse thing is, that i don't even know what my problem is. i was told by my dad that this is the worst part of your life. now i seen his reason.
and i'm not just being petty like the 'omg, i can't gert the new mercedes 2009, i hate my life!' or 'omg, i'm, like, failing math!' sort of thing. i just don't really know who i am, or what it's all about (don't you dare say the hokey pokey). what i'm doing here. and i think my family hates me. and my friends. and i just. don't. know.
how do people live like this, in the world we have? it's all just so confusing.
i love this blog because i odn't think there's anyone else, or anything else, i can really talk to. if i spoke to anyone i konw, they would judge me, or not understand, or avoid me. i know this sounds petty, but it's true.
i am also aware that no one will probably ever read this blog, either. oh, well. i believe that in some way, it gives me some peace of mind. like that sone 'peace of mind' by boston. love that band. i'm kinda a music junkie. the first thing i wanna know about a person is - what kind of music do you like? who are some of your favorite bands? heaven forbid should you like country! (bleck). ha ha.

Closing Word


who am i to question how someone live their life? or to guestion what they believe, or what they do, or how they do things? doesn't everybody have a right to their own mind? to their own opinions and thoughts and actions?

fast fwd a month...(if that makes any sense...more like rewind)

omg i just checked my blog and i realized i haven't posted for an entire month! i'm just so lazy about these things. sigh.
Right now i'm in Florida. i'm staying with my Aunt's family and my cousins and uncle. it's pretty fun, i guess. they have a pretty kick ass book and record store down here. If you're ever in the seaside/grayton beach/ rose mary beach area, check it- 89 Central Square, Seaside, FL 32459. they probably have a website if you look. just type Sundog Books or Central Square Records. trust me, they rock.
i got this new album that's totally kick-ass, i swear. the guitar/acoustics are awesome. the artist is Keller Williams and the album is called 'Loop.' I also got another cd of his called 'Home.' that's pretty good too. i highly recommend either.
another music scene to look up is on myspace. i found it on the Twilight Lexicon, this kick-ass site dedicated to the Twilight series that has a ton of updates. anyway, it's Robert Pattinson's music. if you haven't heard of him, he's an actor; he was Cedric Diggory in harry potter 4 and is playing the role of Edward Cullen in the upcoming Twilight Movie. Anyways, it's his music and it's under the name of bobby dupea. i think. at least i think that's how you spell the last name. well, the music is AMAZI! i loved it! just trust me and listen to it. if you know what's good for you.

anyways, i think that's enough of my rambling. smell ya later gater
