6:32 pm - Best Picture, Scott and Eli, Cobra power and 3S
|
I had hoped/predicted that Morgan would win best supporting actor, Hillary would win Best Actress(again) and that it would win Best Picture(f*ck the Aviator). But I thought Scorcese would win Best Director. Awesome job to Clint though. He's just as deserving.
Last weekend I got to hang out with my brother and nephew. We did various familyish activities at the Palisades Mall like go to the 4-D theater and go racing on the 4th floor. Good times. Speaking of cars Eli was quite fond of my car and wanted to drive it. So he sat on my lap and I pushed the pedals for him as he turned the wheel while we parked the car in the garage. This was pretty cool for me because it was something my Dad used to do with me in his 1971 Chevelle SS back when I was real young.
Also if anybody out there actually reads this and has Xbox live, get SF Anniversary Edition ASAP

10:35 pm - MDB
|
After watching Million Dollar Baby, all I can say is wow. What an incredible movie. I haven't seen a film as good as MDB in years if ever. It will be up there with Braveheart, The Godfather and every other movie I consider to be my favorites. I'm way too amazed right now to review it. All i'll say is Mo Cuishle. See the film to understand what i'm talking about. It's gaelic. Irish pride.

Despite all the pain in my heart grinding through,
it ain't due that you hate what I hate what you do
And everyday when the knife in my back starts to twinge n' turn,
My eyes are catching fire and my heart starts to burn.
A foot away from you is like a bit closer to heaven,
Then again it's like being needled 24/7
You look down to me to see the scum of the earth to be.
Fuck yeah, that's me, vile and obscene.
I ain't happy about it but at least I don't judge and decree
to be better than another human being.
Despite all the piety you've been consuming thus far,
Can anyone, somebody tell me what the fuck is going on?
Everyday when the knife in my back starts to twinge n' turn,
My eyes are catching fire and my heart starts to burn.
A foot away from you is like a bit closer to heaven,
Then again it's like being needled 24/7

10:28 pm - A salute to the Grand Prix
|
Well it's gone. My 95 Red Grand Prix that i've had for the past 5(almost 6) years has been sold. It's crazy because i've had an insane amount of memories in it. Some good, some bad...but overall, just lots of awesome experiences. I've also grown up a great deal in that time frame. I was just 16 when I got it and I look back at myself at that age and think shit, if I had known then what I know now. That makes me feel old. Dear lord. I am almost 22. Holy shit. But I digress. Tomorrow I get my new car and I can't wait to have some badass memories in that one.

So Halloween was pretty cool. That's me and Chrissy on the left, Brendan Maloney bending over with Sean Hay licking his butt and Sarah and the other Krissy on the right. Good times.
It looks as if i'm finally gonna go through with the selling of the car. What car i'm gonna get now is trcky. I don't know if I want a convertible or an SUV. Do I want to be prepared for winter or summer? I've always wanted a convertible. But on the other hand, driving in my front wheel drive car now in the snow is a bitch. So this rear wheel drive convertble is gonna be even worse :( I just dont know.
Also the Bodom headlining show is gonna be crushing beyond belief. November 15th fukers.

Life's crazy sometmes man. It's amazing how things change. People leave. It really sucks. This whole people going to colleges deal isn't easy. I realized tonight how much i'm gonna miss Sean Farrell. We've been friends for years and in the past year we haven't hung out as often as we did the first few years and I regret that greatly. I guess that whole you don't know what you got till it's gone holds true for friends as well.
I guess i'm mad at myself more than anything. There's no way I should be going to RCC this semester. I should be done and be going to a 4 year. But i'm not. And I basically only have myself to blame. I'm certaintly smart enough. I'm just lazy and haven't been motivated. It's not that I necessarily want to go to Buffalo(where Farrell is going), I would only want to go because he's my friend and it would be awesome to room with him. I guess that's the problem. I don't really have a fucking clue what I want to do with my life. It's hard to have drive and be motivated when you don't know where your going. I know where I come from, but I don't really know where i'm going. And I guess I wish I had more of an idea of what I wanted to do and what I wanted to be.
I'm gonna kick RCC's ass this semester. All A's. And from there, who knows? Maybe i'll go up to Buffalo and see the Farrellster. Either way, now that i'm with the love of my life, I'm definitely going to include her into the scenario but when it comes right down to it, I gotta do whats best for me. She herself said she may go to a school in Florida. There's a good chance it's a path i'm gonna have to go down by myself. But that's something i'm used to.
Take it easy for a little while Metal brother. I hope(and i'm sure) our paths cross again real soon.

Fahrenheit 9/11 was incredible. I can't even describe all of the emotions that I felt whle watching it. To say that people MUST SEE IT is an understatement. They gave out bumper stickers that said SAVE THE USA Vote Bush Out which I will definitely put to good use. I could go into detail a little more but at this moment am I unable 2. I do think that Michael Moore and this documentary will take away votes from Bush and for that, he should be commended.

Things have been gong really well. My new job pays real shitty but it's fun. School's tough(because I make it that way) but i'm managing. This friday will be 7 months for us. For our 6 month anniversary we saw the off Broadway play Embedded. Really amazing. Everything's been pretty damn good.
One of the most intelligent and funny shows of all time in my opinon, Frasier, goes off the air next week which is sad. But other then that, life's good. Splinter Cell Pandora Tomorrow has replaced Socom as the most crushing online game for me.
Hmmm...what else? Oh yes. Alcohol. Well I haven't had a drink in 5 months. Since New Year's to be exact. And it feels good. I've never felt as alive as I do right now. I believe i'm at a point where I can drink a little more moderately(maybe) and be alright. So i'm gonna have a drink or 2 one of these days.
I can't fuckin wait for Troy. I'm very sure that it's gonna be a killer movie and i'm also eagerly awaiting the Kill Bill DVD set with 1 and 2 and all the extras. Musically...new Unearth and The Cure are all I know of that has caught my eye. I guess I'll go see In Flames again(this will be the 5th time) even though their set is probably not gonna be that great(or dfferent). And that's about it.
And I know this is really late, but Bill Murray should have won Best Actor. Later Droogies Sez Mustaine.

5:29 pm - Tribute to Death and Chuck
|
CKY's DERON MILLER Speaks Out On Upcoming DEATH Tribute: 'This Is The Real Deal' - Feb. 6, 2004
CKY guitarist/vocalist Deron Miller is widely credited for conceiving the upcoming DEATH tribute project, "Within The Mind - An Homage To The Musical Legacy Of Chuck Schuldiner", as a means to help guitarist James Murphy (ex-TESTAMENT, DEATH, OBITUARY) raise money for his medical bills (Murphy is currently receiving treatment for a massive brain tumor with which he was diagnosed in August 2001).
The project, which has the blessing of the family of late DEATH mastermind Chuck Schuldiner (who passed away in December 2001 after a battle with pontine glioma, a rare type of brain tumor), is expected to feature a number of special guest appearances, including those by Miller, Murphy, Dave Culross (MALEVOLENT CREATION, ex-SUFFOCATION), Mikael Thomson (SLIPKNOT), Paul Gray (SLIPKNOT), Brett Hoffmann (ex-MALEVOLENT CREATION), Ross Dolan (IMMOLATION), Mike Chlasciak (PAINMUSEUM, ex-HALFORD), and Terry Butler (SIX FEET UNDER, ex-DEATH, MASSACRE). Other musicians that are interested in participating (if their touring and/or recording schedules allow) include Peter TÃĪgtgren (HYPOCRISY, PAIN), Chuck Billy (TESTAMENT), Eric Peterson (TESTAMENT, DRAGONLORD), Luc Lemay (GORGUTS), Andy LaRocque (KING DIAMOND), Richard Christy (ICED EARTH, ex-DEATH, CONTROL DENIED), Rya and Chad of MUDVAYNE, Patrick Mameli (ex-PESTILENCE), and Jean-Francois Degenais (KATAKLYSM).
According to Murphy, "The track selection will span DEATH's career from 'Scream Bloody Gore' to 'Symbolic', the thought being that the 'Sound of Perseverance' songs are too recent to consider for a tribute CD." A June release through Holland's Mascot Records is expected.
Speaking exclusively to BLABBERMOUTH.NET, Miller explained his reasons for launching the project: "I never got to meet Chuck Schuldiner," Deron said. "He never knew I existed, and that will bother me for the rest of my life because I was one of his biggest fans and supporters. [DEATH's] 'Spiritual Healing' changed my life forever when it came out in early 1990. It was way ahead of its time...and still is...and from there I went on to learn every note, word, and solo on every DEATH record by heart. After living through the horror of Chuck's last days and hearing of the Schuldiners' financial misfortune...topped with James Murphy's illness and financial struggle, a tribute to Chuck and the music of DEATH became an imperative no-brainer. Rest assured: this project will be nothing less than top-notch, and of course...as usual, naysayers will be proven wrong. This is the real deal."

1:46 am - Oh yeah, fuck yeah!

So this weekend was...Maiden!!! Un fuckin believable. Amazing from start to finish. I saw them both Friday and Saturday night and both nights were very different yet very incredible. I was supposed to get in for free both nights, but I only got in for free Saturday. Big deal. I have no problem paying the 80 bucks for Maiden. I look it at like I paid $40 each night.
So friday we went and were up in the mezzanine. I preferred this to floor only because I didnt get their early enough to get a good spot up front so it would have sucked. It was actually kinda cool being up top. Good view and I didnt have a bunch of dudes super close to me that desperately needed to get laid. Nuff said. Arch Enemy opened and were crushing. Typical set list. Ravenous and shit from Anthems. Maybe other stuff I dunno I've seen them like 6 times I didnt really care as I was eager to see the Iron ones.
They hit the stage and it was killer beyond belief. Seeing Bruce in his outfits was quite entertaining and very Metal. Not one song off my favorite album Powerslave but what can ya do? Aces High would have ruled. I was expecting 2 Minutes to Midnight again but i'm glad they didnt play it as ive heard it about 6 billion times from Vice City and its my least favorite off the album. The title track or Rime of the Ancient Mariner would have been sick. Nothin off Somewhere in Time either. Ok enough of the negative. The positive was that they played my 2 favorites off the new one; Paschendale and the title track, Dance of Death. A bit too much off the new one though. Can I Play with Madness was a pretty cool surprise. Dunno if its better than The Clairvoyant as a pick for a song off 7th Son, but i'm just glad it was different. I like new things. I know that i'm gonna hear The Trooper and Hallowed be Thy Name and Fear of the Dark because this is what makes the fans wet their pants. Personally, i'd rather hear different shit but thats just me. Don't get me wrong, I love seeing Maiden no matter what they play. But if I could pick their setlist, it would look like this. Here's a side by side comparison of the actual setlist and my setlist:
Actual set
Wildest dreams
Wrathchild
Can I play with madness?
The trooper
Dance of death
Rainmaker
Brave new world
Paschendale
Lord of the flies ?!?!
Journeyman
The number of the beast
No more lies
Hallowed be thy name
Fear of the dark
Iron maiden
Run to the hills |
My Dream set
Aces High
The Prisoner
Seventh Son of a Seventh Son
Ghost of the Navigator
To Tame a Land
Powerslave
Only the Good Die Young
Paschendale
Genghis Khan
Charlotte the Harlot
22 Acacia Avenue
Dance of Death
Transylvania
Alexander the Great
Purgatory
Rime of the Ancient Mariner
Phantom of the Opera |
Real Maiden fans will know why I had Charlotte the Harlot and then 22 Acacia Avenue right afterwards. Classic. In my set you got all the epics minus Hallowed be Thy Name cuz people suck its dick too much and I really think its one of the weaker epics when compared to Phantom, Rime, Tame a Land, etc. So on saturday, I didnt pay shit and got a backstage pass. This is what it looks like.
I put it up in my room on one of my Maiden posters:
And this is a pic of Nicko throwing his drumstick into the crowd.
I would have gotten some killer pictures had I brought my camera on Saturday, but unfortunately i'n retarded and only brought it on friday.
Today I had a great time with the one that I love and tomorrow is the first day of classes for the new semester. Ooooooohhhhhhh Yeahhhhhhh. Later droogies.

Well for about 2 weeks now i've known about a gift that Brendan has been planning to give me for my birthday. According to him it wouldnt be ready in time for my birthday but that when I got it, it would be worth it. Well I finally got it last night and it's pretty damn awesome.
Brenden asked for a picture of me with my arm around somebody and I sent one to him. He then got a picture of Chuck and gave it to an artist who drew that out. It's one of the most crushing gifts i've ever gotten and he definitely spent way too much money on it. He's the fuckin man. Thank you Brendan Maloney. I'm not sure what else to say except I really appreciate all of the amazing and very personal gifts I received from everybody that cares about me. Thank you all.

Well i'm 21 now. My birthday was yesterday for those of you who didnt know. I drank but plan on drinking even more tonight. When I bought Jager from the liquor store, they didn't card me. When I bought beer from Mobil, they didn't card me. What the fuck is that?! For once I wanted them to card me!!!! Assholes. This new Braun Freeglider is the shit. It's just as close a shave as my mach 3 with less iritation. I sound like a commercial but it rules. And I finally got a digital camera.
That's the first picture taken and it was taken by my baby. I was already drunk in that picture so...yeah. It's 5 megapixels and I hear that's good so hopefully i'll start filming porns and stuff. Boioiioioioioioing.
This is one of the gifts my love gave to me on my Birthday yesterday.
The theme behind it is basically people that have influenced me in one way or another. Whether it be Chuck's music, Bill Murray's movies or William Wallace's legacy, they have all had an impact on me. She burnt that paper herself(on the bottom and the borders around Chuck) and must have spent a shitload of time on it. She's amazing and i'm a happy man. Can't wait for the new year!

December 17th: The epic ending to Lord of the Rings
4 People's birthdays that are very close to me are in December. Chrissy, Brendano, Robby are all in Dec. and my 21st(!!!!!) birthday is on December 30th. Dem niggas only be turning 20. Shhhiiiiiiiiit! There's also those holidays where jews play with candles and christians put those ornaments up on their lawn. Couldn't forget those. New Years is going to destroy as well. I better stock up on alcohol and Zeo cause i'm gonna need it!
