Weekly Recommendation: Week 10

Ok, week 10 we have here. Oh, that sounded Yoda-ish. Time Jam this Pearl will it be. Well, that's a little too confusing. Ok, this time, it will be Pearl Jam. YOU'VE NEVER HEARD OF PEARL JAM? HOW COULD YOU? Ok, doesn't matter, I'll introduce Pearl Jam to you. Oh, I just realized that I said Ok three times (make that four). Ok, here are the lyrics. Oh, shoot. I said it for the fifth time.

The Fixer

Yeah, hey, hey
When something's dark, let me shed a little light on it
If something's cold, I want to put a little fire on it
If something's old, I want to put a little shine on it
If something's gone, I want to fight to get it back again

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, fight to get it back again
Yeah, yeah, hey, yeah, yeah

When something's broke, I want to put a little fixin' on it
If something's bored, I want to put a little exciting on it
When something's low, I want to put a little high on it
If something's lost, I want to fight to get it back again

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, fight to get it back again
Yeah, yeah, hey, yeah, yeah

When signals cross, I want to put a little straight on it
If there's no love, I want to try to love again

I'll say your prayers, I'll take your side
I'll find us a way to make light
I'll dig your grave, we'll dance and sing
What's saved could be one last lifetime

Hey, hey, hey
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, fight to get it back again
Yeah, yeah, hey, yeah, yeah, fight to get it back again
Yeah, yeah, yeah, fight to get it back again
Hey, yeah, hey, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

As you can see, there are a lot of yeah's. Here's the link: The Fixer-Pearl Jam

Écouter, s`il vous plaît. Merci!

Weekly Recommendation: Week 9

Merry Victoria Day....um...that doesn't make sense...oh whatever.

Well, isn't this nice. I'm starting to run out of ideas. Let's look through my brain.

Scanning brain: 10% completed
                       20% completed
                       30% completed
                       40% completed
                       50% completed

A fatal exception has occured...BLAH BLAH BLAH (not in reference to the song)

Well, my brain seems to be failing right now. Fortunately, I found a nice song before that happened. MEET GOOD CHARLOTTE (believe it or not, Good Charlotte is indeed an alternative band)!

Well, I'm pretty sure this song should be familiar to you. If you don't feel that this is familiar, then you don't really listen to music that much. Just saying. Not insulting you or anything. I'm just saying.

Andrew, here's some meaningful lyrics for you.

The Anthem

(Yeah, here we go)
It's a new day, but it all feels old
It's a good life, that's what I'm told
But everything, it all just feels the same

At my high school, it felt more to me
Like a jail cell, a penitentiary
My time spent there, it only made me see

That I don't ever wanna be like you
I don't wanna do the things you do
I'm never gonna hear the words you say
and I don't ever wanna, I don't ever wanna be

You...don't wanna be just like you
Oh what I'm sayin' is this is the anthem, throw all your hands up,
you... don't wanna be you

Go to college, a university, get a real job,
That's what they said to me
But I could never live the way they want
I'm gonna get by, and just do my time, out of step while, they all
get in line
I'm just a minor threat so pay no mind

Do you really wanna be like them, do you really wanna be another
trend?
Do you wanna be part of that crowd?
'cause I don't ever wanna, I don't ever wanna be

You...don't wanna be just like you
Oh what I'm sayin' is this is the anthem throw all your hands up,
you, don't wanna be you

Shake it once, that's fine
Shake it twice, that's okay
Shake it three times, you're playing with yourself, again.

You...don't wanna be just like you
What I'm sayin' is this is the anthem throw all your hands up,
Y'all got to feel me, sing if you're with me, you, don't wanna
be just like you (just like you)
This is the anthem throw all your hands up, y'all got to feel
me, sing if you're with me
Another loser anthem (whoa-oh)
Another loser anthem (whoa-oh)
Another loser anthem (whoa-oh)
Another loser anthem

VERY MEANINGFUL RIGHT? Anyways, here's the link: The Anthem-Good Charlotte

Enjoy-eth OR ELSE! Nah, I'm just kidding.

What's an official post?

Well, this is an official post!  I call it, "All sorts of random topics stuck onto one rather necessary post". Unfortunately, it's too big to fit the title. Well, actually, it can fit the title, but it's too mixed up.

First random topic: Science!

GAH! Science isn't cool. Well, at least form and function isn't anyways. I don't think being an engineer will be a good career choice later in life. If I ever do become an engineer, you might not want to go into the buildings that I build or design. Just saying. It's not safe.

Second random topic: Random topics!

Have you ever noticed how topics can be so random? It includes this one. Well, randomness, is indeed, something that I do. By the way, I herd you liek Mudkipz :o. Yes, I know I'm random.

Fourth...wait...no third random topic: CAPTAIN OBVIOUS.

This random topic is about Captain Obvious. Yes, he has the most Obvious sayings around, including the first sentence in this random topic. Now, to quote interesting quotes of Captain Obvious.


“People all over the world will have to purchase a new calendar within the next twelve months.”
~ Captain Obvious on the future
“Within two to three years the price of stamps will increase by an amount.”
~ Captain Obvious on the future
“Someone will die today.”
~ Captain Obvious on the future
“Someone will be born today.”
~ Captain Obvious on the future
“You will eat food within the next 30 days.”
~ Captain Obvious on the future
“Tomorrow will be another day.”
~ Captain Obvious on the future
“The future is coming.”
~ Captain Obvious on the future
“Someone will breathe today.”
~ Captain Obvious on the future
“Within two... no, three..., no wait, ok two years, there will be a year that is divisible by 2.”
~ Captain Obvious on the future
“Indeed, current events may become past events, but always remember that there will, now and always, be future events in the future.”
~ Captain Obvious on the future
“In two years time, it will be two years in the future.”
~ Captain Obvious on the future
“I'm not a doctor, but if you don't have your heart put back in your chest, you may die soon.”
~ Captain Obvious on Lack of Medical Training, also the future
“At the sound of the tone, it will be the time it is supposed to be. As in not now, but the future”
~ Captain Obvious on the future
“in one year it will be the present ”
~ Captain Obvious on the future
“Next millenium, you'll be dead.”
~ Captain Obvious on the future
“You can't touch MC Hammer.”
~ Captain Obvious on MC Hammer

Well, that was awesome. (Credits of quotes to Uncyclopedia)

NOW it's the fourth random topic: Music?

Ha, music. I just thought of that right now. I'm currently listening to Yes-Coldplay. Guess what song's after that? If you guessed Strawberry Swing, well, you're wrong. It's Viva la Vida. By the way, Yes is over 7 minutes. Oh! Here are the lyrics (Yes, I know it's pretty random):


Yes-Coldplay

When it started we had high hopes
Now my back's on the line
My back's on the ropes

When it started we were alright
But night makes a fool
of us in the daylight

Then we were dying of frustration
Saying Lord lead me not into temptation
But it’s not easy when she turns you on
Sin, stay gone

If you’d only, if you’d only say yes
Whether you will's anybody’s guess
God only God knows I'm trying my best
But I’m just so tired of this loneliness

Hey

So up they picked me by the big toe
I was held from the rooftop then they let go
Dizzily screaming 'Let the windows down'
As I crawl to the ground

If you'd only if you'd only say yes
Whether you will's anybody's guess
God only God knows she won't let me rest
But I'm just so tired of this loneliness
I've become so tired of this loneliness

Hm...it's missing Chinese Sleep Chant. Ok, hold on.

Chinese Sleep Chant (Part of Yes)-Coldplay

Fall asleep
Fall asleep
Sleep satisfied
Sleep satisfied

Fall asleep
Fall asleep
Sleep satisfied
Sleep satisfied

Sleep

Sleep

Sleep satisfied
Sleep satisfied

Fall asleep
Fall asleep
Sleep crucify
Sleep crucify

Fall asleep
Fall asleep
Sleep satisfied
Sleep satisfied


Sleep
Sleep
Sleep

Sleep
Sleep
Sleep satisfied
Sleep satisfied

Wow, until I looked it up, I didn't know that it kept on saying sleep. I only heard the word satisfied. The echoing falsetto doesn't help. Ok, now, I will find one random song on my iTunes library and describe it, or whatever.

~2 minutes later, after a lot of explaining about what's going on.~

Ok, so, with the help of Angie (7H), the song that has been picked is Falling Away With You-Muse.
This song uses acoustic guitar, and starts out pretty quietly, and slowly gets louder. During the first chorus, the drums, ELECTRIC guitar, and bass comes in. It's kind of loud now. Oh, and the acoustic guitar is gone. That sucks, I liked it. Well, the vocals come in again. Chorus...blah blah blah...still the same. Finally, at the end, it gets quiet again. Oh, and the acoustic guitar comes back. There's also this sort of fuzzy noise in the background. It's pretty faint, but it leads into Interlude, which is a lot of fuzzy noise, and then, in my opinion, the best song of Absolution (the album of Falling Away With You), Hysteria comes on.

Well, that's a lot of random stuff. I think I'm done. Bye! Oh, and have a nice long weekend.

Weekly Recommendation: Week 8

Well, thanks to my friend, I have one less week to handle. In a way, it feels better to have one week to deal with. In a way, IT'S RUDE! NO, I DO NOT HAVE A HORRENDOUS TASTE IN MUSIC! I don't, right? For his comments, I strongly disagree. I always have at least 2 official posts. You know these aren't official posts right?

It's been 8 weeks now. How quick! It's already in the middle of May. We're zooming along here. Anyways, here's the Fray! I haven't done the Fray before have I?

Syndicate

Half way around the world lies the one thing that you want
Buried in the ground, hundreds of miles down
The first thing that arises in your mind when you awake
Is bending you 'til you break, let me hold you now

Baby, close your eyes, don't open 'til the morning light
Baby, don't forget, we haven't lost it all yet

Don't know what you're made of 'til the one thing that you want
Is coming with the dawn and suddenly changes
Mundane syndicate meets everyone the same
All we've lost to the flame, listen to me now

Baby, close your eyes, don't open 'til the morning light
Don't ever forget, we haven't lost it all yet
All we know for sure is all that we are fighting for
Baby, don't forget, we haven't lost it all yet

Someday when this is over
We may still have no answer
For now it's when I hold her
We are closer, we are closer
We are closer, we are closer

Baby, close your eyes, don't open 'til the morning light
Don't ever forget, we haven't lost it all yet
And all we know for sure is all that we are fighting for
Baby, don't forget, we haven't lost it all yet

We are closer, we are closer
(We haven't lost it all yet)
We are closer
(We haven't lost it all yet)
We are closer


Ok, week 8 is done. I think i have about another 8 weeks to go. HALFWAY THERE! Almost the end of the school year. And then, SUMMER! Bye!

ORANGE! ORANGE! ORANGE!

Well, once upon a time, there was a little boy named Menan. Menan told me to blog about a little thing called THE ORANGE PEOPLE! Anyways, the red people are violent. They eat eyeballs and drink blood. WINSTON SUPPORTS THIS MOVEMENT OF THE RED PEOPLE. Anyways, the Orange people live simple lives, and do jobs and go to the Olympics and that sort of thing.

This just in, ANDREW WILL NOT BLOG ABOUT THE ORANGE PEOPLE. HE SUPPORTS THE YELLOW PEOPLE. THIS IS ABOUT THE ORANGE PEOPLE. NOT THE RED PEOPLE. NO, I'M NOT SHOUTING, I JUST NEED TO SHOW YOU THAT THIS IS IMPORTANT WITH CAPS.

More breaking news, ARUURAN IS NOT BLOGGING ABOUT THE ORANGE PEOPLE EITHER.

Anyways, moving on. You must support the Orange people movement, because they live awesome lives by doing jobs and going for a good education and whatnot. Oh jeez, I have to go, because we're going back to discuss Red Maple.

Well, that was a long break from blogging. NOW! VOTE FOR THE ORANGE PEOPLE.

QUEBEC????

Well, my trip to Quebec...

HAHA, yeah, right, as if I'm going to talk about my trip to Quebec. Most people are going to do that...I just wanted to mock you....and taunt you....that sort of thing. Well, I'm bored, and I have nothing to do. Well, that's the point of bored. Anyways, my friend's other mix is about to come up in around 4 days. I think it's supposed to be scheduled for the 15th. That's all. Bye!
