Oh dear. I just realised looking at my old posts, that I in fact sang good riddance at a christmas party last week in front of about 30 people (more or less). Daer god no. That is not the worst thing I have ever done drunk!!!! Monday, December 29, 2003

Ihave ye ol' pirate songs cumming out of my sub woooooofer down @ eastern beach maite near fucking smorgys maite. And sometimes along chapel st and we put our cutlasses out the window and we go down to salt and fight the asian kids maite, us pirates with our cutlasses and them wit dere machetes. It's fully sik maite no bullshit fucking!!!!111 yeah. Sunday, December 28, 2003
Funny quotes from the last couple of days... "How can you tell they're Russian?" - me "Because they're in a hurry!" - About three people in my family, all at once at the christmas table. My Grandfather has been on morphine beacuse of his cancer and he was halucinating for a while that there were russians in his room while he slept. He's not one of those scary old grandfathers who are senile, BTW. So it makes the stories wierd and kinda cool. Did you know you can trip out when you're doing chemo, too? This kinda reminds me of when dan and I were down on the beach one night and the "reds" were after me. Damn reds. "So he's part of the Aryan (sp) race then, right?" - Me "Yeah, and he won it" - Kirby. Okay, so this one isn't as funny on screen as it was when my sister said it. We were talking about pirates funnily enough.She said that all pirates originally came from Tasmania (which was still Van Deimiens (sp?) land at the time) and moved to the Carribien eventually. Guybrush was from switzerland and his father was swedish, but his stepfather was dutch, and he married his mother when she was eight months pregnant, and gave guybrush his name. It was his father's slaves name from when he was living in South Africa for a short period of time and married a Croatian Woman named Elaine Dokich. Also, Guybrushes real father's name is Ikea Jones, and he started the chain of ikea store across the globe. He was also in abba for a short period of time. Guybrush has a step brother who he never met, and of course, his real brother Lechuck (whose name apparently means "the throw" in french). His step brother died looking for spices in China. My sister is insane. Hey, I should make a new year's resolution.... Okay, it is... To get real fit and buff and to get a full time job and move out of home and start a punk band and go see dashboard live sometime. There. Let's do it! Saturday, December 27, 2003
actually mat, you wont believe it but pirate eye patches are really popular here at the moment! Except some idiots are taking the fad too far anf wearing them on BOTH eyes. Not a good idea. Um, I know pin stripes are in for both sexes and for girls theres heaps of frilly florally girly stuff *girly giggle* in portmans and sportsgirl and stuff. But otherwise, I don't know. I haven't seen any particular fashion accesory around lately but I did get one of those new evian nomad bottles the other day. Very cool. i got a few interested looks on the train when I drank from it. It's the best bottle design I've ever seen or felt.Excellent really. they must have put a lot of research into making a good bottle. Listen to me, what a design nerd. Hmph!I Reply Recommend (0 recommendations so far) Message 5 of 9 in Discussion From: Andii Sent: 29/08/2002 1:59 PM Mat I can back up Cara's little thing about pirate eyes, I've got a pic that I'm gona put up... you can ask as many people as you like in Australia and they will all say that indeed, Captain Feathersword is the new King of Cool.. Think about it, it all makes sense.. the wiggles (the Captain in particular) have been around for what.. about 8-10 years now? Think about how old the kids who USED to watch the show are now.. if they started watching around the ages of 8, then they're 16-18 now.. so you can see that clearly the Wiggles are going to have an effect on fashion.. we all thought Mr.Cusworth was a dick.. but now his little 'I'm from the wiggles' exploits are being copied in all major cities as people realise that dressing up in a primary colour with ill-fitting jeans and a daggy grin isn't as kitch as once believed. And where does this leave the girls? Well, clearly they all can't dress up like the only female member of the wiggles (dorothy) so they've adopted the 'peasant' look. It's the woman's answer to Feathersword... they become the pirate whench with their frilly-sportsgirl earth toned, low-riding, gipsy-bohemic, asparagus-hexagon, skirty things and tops. Though I agree with Cara that some are taking it a little too far with their 2-eye-patch antics, I think the real disaster here is the fake parrots in tropical colours that are all the rage in Cosmo and Geelong this psuedo-spring period.. i mean really.... they just get in the way! I was wearing my own parrot the other day (yes, I AM another fashion casualty also) and trying to drive was incredibally difficult. They say the bigger the parrot, the better, but, mine was hitting the roof of the car. and when I needed to make right-turns I couldn't see out my window cos the parrot was in the way.. I couldn't turn left either cos my eye-patch was making things awkward.. so I drove for about 20minutes in the one direction.. got lotsr and had to reverse back home because I couldn't do a u-turn becaus that involed turning. You can imagin how embarrased I was.. At least I looked cool, and that in itself, is some concilation.

A guy brought in one of those old school 2 dollar talking parrots the other day. It was a bit lame though. I like the ones they sell in general pants heaps better. The pirate thing isn't as big in geelong yet, but I've started seeing more of it. especially in people in my class cos we went up to chapel street last week, and you knoe all the fashion stuff they have up there! you know what happened yesterday? This guy in my graphics course had one of those "peg Legs" and he was trying to walk up the stairs, but he just ended up falling over. Actaully I'm thinking of getting one of those skull and crossbones flags to put up. I've seen HEAPS of people in the mall with them, except I saw a few skanky chicks who hang out there trying on fleathered hats in speakeys so i don't know... I hope it doesn't end up all corio-ish like adidas or somethingg Reply Recommend (0 recommendations so far) Message 9 of 9 in Discussion From: Andii Sent: 30/08/2002 4:38 PM Speaking of peg legs and footwear.. I LOVE the fact that people have taken ug-boots out the living room and into modern fashion.. to think that all this time I hadn't worn them because they didn't really offer proper support and now to find out.. it just doesn't matter! Ha! Don't I feel the fool! Yeah pegs (that's what we call them here) are awsum.. but only on flat ground! I saw this REALLY kewl one just then in my Maths Lecture that this guy had on... it was all carved with pirate stories on it like a wooden comic book! My peg is giving me cramps.. I should do what my friend Ben did and just amputate it so I can have the full effect.. but do you think it's just a fad.. or is pirate and peasant here to stay? Cos I don't wanna remove my leg and then when I get out hospital find out we've moved on to something like Henry the Octopus. I think every fashion trend ends up Corio-ised.. I mean in some sense they always try and follow the fads. BUT they first need to adapt it into something as skanky as what them is always wearin.. It has to first become part of there culture and then it kind of changes from being Pirate to a sub-catagory corio-pirate.. I saw a really good example last weekend of an adaption of fashion into their sub-culture.. a corio-wog had vamped up his commodore into a pirate ship.. It was AWSUM, but you know, at the same time it was really try hardy and corio-ish.. like every rope had a parallel rope so it was like adidas style rigging, and all the cannons were dada. So yeah I think in some sense it will be adopted by Corio, but I think it's too popular and, well, almost sacred, to become skanky. Thursday, December 18, 2003
im, too sey for milan, too sexy for milan, new york and japan... Woo, it's up, nothing there! woot. meh. How come nobody ever reads mah blog no more???? Is it that crap (wait, don't answer that) ? Hey, rememeber last year when mat was in Japan and there was that whole thing we made up about pirates being in fashion? Yeah, it was pretty funny, especially the bit about captain feathersword being a sex symbol. Anway, I've been playing monkey island lately, and man, it is so cool. Graphic adventures rock I remember the first one I ever played was day of the tenticle. every night after school in year seven me and lesh would ring each other to find out bits of it, it was so nerdy, but so fun. Only thing that sucks about them, is once you finish them, it's never as fun again. Like a book. I guess if I went back and played it in ten years.... Anyway, I'm addicted to monkey island, I'm playing the second one right now. it's rad. Pirates rock! (again) Friday, December 12, 2003
Punknews.org | Epitaph signs The Matches this is rad. these guys are a cool band, but it's impossible to get their stuff. Well, hopefully not once they're on epitaph. For a while epitaphs was starting to suck, but they've been picking up now that they don't just sign the same old same old. I'm listening to something corporate right now. I thought they were a pop punk band before now, for some reason, myabe the name, or maybe their music style has changed a bit. I dunno, I just know the new album is cool. I'm getting a TGUK and JEW vibe, but i think every mildy emo band sounds like jimmy eat world. Or yeah, and I'm convinced matchbook romance are a milder more pop punk version or taking back sunday. MP3.com Music Center shit, where have I been? How long has mp3.com been dead??? The longer you spend on the interent, the more sites stop running. It's kind of like a weird version of the music scene. I got into a lot of great bands through mp3.com, so I hope it's not dead forever. Saturday, December 06, 2003
Nirvana's bassist considers politics wow. This is crazy. Crazy stuff. He looks like a polititian....kinda. 4. Green Day – Good Riddance (Time Of Your Life) If you graduated from high school, appeared in the cast of a TV show whose run was coming to an end, or went to a teenager’s funeral in the late 90s, I don’t have to explain how bad this song is. There are two kinds of people in this world: people who hate this song with all the passion their bones can muster, and complete fucking idiots. this is so, so true. Sunday, November 30, 2003
this is a link to mat's site. Maybe If I put a link up to it, he will go there and update it a lot! it has a link to my site! Yesterday I danced with brandon burns dressed as a crispy mnm in my underwear (under the costume). Yay, life is so exciting. Yesterday at work was more liek a party than real work, but I was soooo tired afterwards. I got lots of pree icecreams and stuff. The band playing was this cool ska cover band called "the chromatones" . Sure, they were covers of covers sometiems, but they played really well. anyways. see you guys next week if you come Tuesday, November 25, 2003
The guy who writes this stuff is my hero. Heh, I wish he'd just do a garage rock special and get all those losers out of the way in one hit. Friday, November 21, 2003

SCHOOLGATE By Cara and Mathieu. Disclaimer Episode 1Ê ------------------------------------------------------------------------ "God am I glad that class is over. "Cara said so Melissa, who was shoving some books in her locker. They both noticed the others walking up to the downball courts, so they followed. On the way, when they had caught up with the others, Cara asked, "Where's Andr*? "Everyone groaned. "I don't know," Melissa started, "Or really care. "Finished Mat. When everyone got to the courts, they all gasped. "What is it?" Sibyl asked, "I don't know" Was the only answer she could get. Cara was the first to notice someone coming. She stared, drooling uncontrollably. Kal waved his hand in front of her face,Ê "Stop fantasizing!" He growled. Andrew took one look at the large ring shapedthing, and then did the toughest thing he could think of. He threw his shoe at it. "What good will that do? "Mat asked. "Oh, I thought it was like something I saw while playing 'creatures'. Who found it?" "Cara." Andrew gave a disgusted groan and turned away. "Do YOU know what it is?" Alix asked. Andrew shrugged where there should have been shoulders. "By the looks of it," He started, talking in a scientific voice, "It seemed to be some kind of gate...to the stars! I call it: Gate to the Stars!" "How about just 'Stargate'?" Mat asked. "Oh...uh, yes, well, I guess that would do. Seems a little 'childish' to me." He muttered, putting that self-contentious smirk on his lips. "How do we turn it on?" Melissa asked. "Why, do you want to go and find Silverchair through it?" Kal asked "Shut up Kal" she groaned. Alix and Michelle found some kind of control panel sitting a few meters out from it, with numerous awkward looking runes on what looked like buttons. "Maybe this works it." She said. "One thing," Melissa asked, "how come this was never here before?" "Oh, that's easy, this is where the guys normally play cricket, that's why we never saw it. "Andrew said, scratching where his arse should have been. Everyone knew that of course people would have noticed this startling hunk of circular metal before, and they all looked skywards, and then back to the strange edifice that they were currently presented with. Andrew walked over and took a look at the control panel looking thing, and tentatively touched it. "Well I'm not dead yet," he said without a smile (a small 'damn!' was heard in the background), and moved his hand to one of the buttons. He applied as much pressure as he could, which of course wasn't all that much, and by that time others had come closer. "Here." Said Mat, and he lightly placed his fingertips on a nearby button, with a rune on it that looked obscenely like an abstract chicken, and suddenly it a jolting clang sounded and the chickenly symbol lit up. Then the Stargate began to groan, and everyone could feel the power in the downball court. Andrew, recovering from his shock quicker than anyone else, slammed his fist down on his button as hard as he could and suddenly that lit up too. Michelle burst through and shouted. "What's going on!???" And she stumbled and pressed another 3 symbols. By now the Stargate had spun its ring around to a point on the main gate (there were visibly 7 of them) and there was a sudden movement at the first point, when the same chicken symbol pressed by Mat passed beneath it. Then it continued to spin briskly in the other direction and moved Andrew's symbol, to the second point, and then that was 'locked in'. "It?s like one of those old Telephones, you know how they dial!" Said Sibyl in amazement. "So it is dialing something?" Said Kal. "What is it dialing?" Said Cara. Alix counted all the points on the gate. She then randomly pressed another 2 buttons. Before long a truly fascinating, and freaky thing happened. When the same symbols that were glowing on the controller were locked into the rings seven points, a loud roaring sound could be heard and, beginning at the edges, and happening very quickly, a blue liquid like light emerged, and filled the area in the ring. A large protuberance of the stuff flew out at them, and everyone cowered and put their hands up to their face, and Andrew wet himself. It quickly leveled out again, well, leveled out on the horizontal, and all that could be seen was a rippling wall of the non-transparent water like substance. At first they all looked at it, not knowing what to say, then Lisa summed it up, "Shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit!" Cara looked over to Andrew and noticed the wet patch on his pants, at first she was quite turned off by this, but it soon passed, unfortunately. The others looked over also, but said nothing, too polite to pay him out. Except for Kal "ha ha ha aha haahh hahahahahahah!" Kal started laughing, making his whole short body rock slightly "No time for being stupid, we've gotta find out what this thing does." Andrew said, back to his self-righteous self. He looked at it, wondering if he could somehow relate it to one of his past experiences and go on about it, consequently pissing everyone else off in a bad way. "When I lived in Fiji there were these people who had afros and..."He started. "I think we should try and touch it or something." Alistair said over Andrew's annoying drivel. "We need to throw something at it or someone...not me." Everyone looked at Andrew. "Hmm? "He said, not sure why everyone was looking at him. "Andrew, go in there.? Sibyl said. "W-why?" "Because there's wine in there." Mat lied. "Wine!!!!!!!! yipeeeeeee!!!!!!" Andrew skipped up to the stargate, took a cautious glance back then, holding his breath, stepped through. Then there was quiet. "No!!!!!!!!!!" Cara cried, "He's gone!!!!!!!!!" "Oh shut up Cara, get over it." Kal said . "Yes," Continued Mat," there's is no proof he's dead, we didn't hear any girlish scream, he's probably safe and well." Everyone looked at the stargate a little longer and wondered what to do next. What if it turned off and they never saw Andrew again? They didn't want THAT kind of criminal record yet. They all stood there, wondering who would go through. All the other geeks were very wary now. But Kal thought that this was just too good an opportunity to pass up. So he walked over to the gate, and touched the surface with his fingertips, and then plunged his arm right in, and then he was quickly sucked through. Next Cara walked up, quickly followed by Mat, Melissa and Sibyl. They all stood before the gate, and looking at each other, held their breath (which of course was not necessary) and stepped through. A whoosh noise followed, and all four of them felt as though every molecule in their bodies has been separated, and were being sucked through. It was quite an unnerving experience. Then your whole consciousness was sucked through on a star scoped roller coaster ride. Between two bands of energy they were thrown, and at one time, as it seemed they were gathering even more speed, billions of stars moved and gathered, and then they burst through them. Eventually, after about 30 seconds, they emerged the other side. On the ground was Andrew, and Kal was off to the side vomiting. Right at the end it felt as though all the intermingled molecules of Sibyl, Cara, Melissa and Mat sorted themselves into people again, which is actually what happened. It was all quite nauseating. Mat thought that they would still be in the downball area, and stepped down off the pedestal that the ring was on and stood shocked to see that all that was there was a blank wall. Actually, he noticed now, they were in a completely different place. There was an open door at the front of whatever building they were in. He walked back around and said, "Are we dead?" Next thing we found was that Alix came rushing through the water looking stuff and then sat down, shocked. "It must be like a portal or something," Mat said. "They have them in Fantasy books that I have read. I have gotta get back through and tell the others!" And just as he stepped up onto the platform and walked to step through, suddenly the blue stuff dissipated and quickly disappeared. He could see the back wall of the room they were in.Ê "Oh Shit." Said Andrew, who had gotten up, and who had read the same books. "Maybe if they press the same buttons that we pressed the first time in the same order, it would dial again!" Said Kal hopefully. "Well did any of us remember?" Said Alix." I certainly don't!" "Oh dear" Said Andrew. "I think we should go through the door, check this place out a bit. "Cara said "but there could be paedophiles, or cannibals, or paedophilic cannibals! "Andrew shrieked. "Paedophiles and cannibals and Andrew, oh my! "Paedophiles and cannibals and Andrew, oh my! "Cara said sang. Andrew looked at her with hate. They all just stood there, not quite believing what was going on. MEANWHILE, AT SCHOOL... "Where are they? "Michelle asked. "I don't know, I hope Andrew's okay." Lisa said with a worried look on her face The bell went and all the remaining downies went back to class, they didn't know how they would explain it if the teachers asked where they were. MEANWHILE, BACK IN THE OTHER WORLD... "I wonder just where we are?" Kal asked the air. "I'm scared," Andrew said, "hold me, Kal." "No!" Kal spat back. He walked over to the door, partly to get away from Andrew. He peered out. "Hey, wow, check this out!" Everybody walked over to the door. Outside there were people who looked really strange, no one could tell what was wrong with them at first but then Alix worked it out. "They have no shoulders!Ó. She was right the people looked...well, they looked like Andrew without his blazer. Kal Mat and Sibyl started laughing, Alix Cara and Melissa just stared. The people looked pretty human, there were men , women, even little shoulder less children. They wore robe like clothes that sort of hung off them due to their lack of shoulders. Everyone walked outside and looked around some more. They were in some kind of city, but the buildings looked more advanced than on earth. A group of the people walked up to the downballers. "Quick, check if they have shoulders or not!" One yelled to the others. They grabbed at Andrew first and ripped his shirt. "Oh look what you've done, it will take me just ages to sew that hole up!Ó He yelled at the aliens. "look, he has no shoulders like us!Ó One yelled excitedly. "I do too have shoulders, they just aren't...defined. And I have a 'great chest' to make up for it!" "Shut up Andrew, you could save us if you go along with it!" Kal whispered loudly. Andrew looked at the rip in his shirt and tried to cover it up. Because he had no shoulders it kept slipping down though. "Our saviours!" They all kneeled and started worshiping him. "hmmmmm, I like this world.Ó Andrew smiled evilly. One of the aliens looked at the rest of the downies. "But what is he doing with these people, they look so disgusting with their huge broad shoulders." Andrew looked around to the others . For a second he felt an once of compassion but then he thought, 'nah'. "oh, those losers, kill them." The others all gasped in disbelief. How could he be so evil? they took Andrew away to a large building and the rest to a prison like area. "I can't believe he would do this , I really can't" Alix said, sitting in the corner of the damp dark cell. "I can." Cara said. She looked out through the cell and down a corridor.Ó when I get out I'm really gonna kill him!Ó she said. "No you arenÕt.Ó Melissa said, then added, "I wish Daniel was here." "God Melissa, Silverchair suck, why wont you get that through your thick skull." "Shut up, Kal." Everyone said simultaneously. "I wonder if they're missing us back on Earth. "Cara said. "How do you know we're not on earth, we could be forward in time or in a different dimension. "Sibyl said. "Look out that window. "Cara said. Sibyl climbed up on a bunk bed and stared though the little grime covered window. "I don't see anything strange, 'cept the people of course but..." "No, look UP." Sibyl looked into the sky. "Whoa, there's two suns!" "Really, let me see." Said Mat. Everyone took a turn at looking out the window. "How can the gravity work though?" Alix asked. "I don't know, but it must." Cara said.Ó I wonder what Andrew is doing?" In a large building a little way off the natives were taking in their new leaders wisdom. He was sitting up on a throne of some description, and trying to impress his followers. He took something small and golden out of his pocket. "What is that, oh mighty one?" "Behold, my Dictaphone!" Everyone gasped in amazement. "oh most shoulder less, what does it do?" He pressed a button and held the little tape recorder into the silence. A muffled 'oh most shoulderless, what does it do' could be heard faintly. "This is truly a miracle!!!" He then sped it up and played it again. Some of the people gasped others fainted. "Quick, bring out the women!Ó One of the people yelled. "What women?" "You areÊa god, so we want your greatness to be bred." Some good-looking bikini clad women walked out; they were almost normal, except for having no shoulders. Andrew grinned. He would have preferred men, but this would still be good. All the while the others were still cooped up in their cell. A skinny looking guard, trying to act gruff, ordered them come with him, to the trial that as apparently adjourning. They were pushed along, and then, Kal, in one of his most daring moments, tried to do what they do in Quake and Star wars and, forgetting all reality as usual attacked the guard with an imaginary light sabre. He screamed: 'I don't have quad damage, but this will have to do!' The others just stood there, dopey eyed staring at him, with arms drooping by their sides, as they watched Kal make whooshing noises in the thin corridor, in the general direction of the shoulderless creature. It had the most plain faced of all, and he pulled out a stout ray gun and blasted him. Kal de-materialized in seconds. 'Sorry', Said the Alien, 'It was just embarrassing me - the way he was acting, I just had to put him out of his misery'. Everyone shook their heads and continued. Meanwhile Andrew was back with the beautiful women, wondering what to do. They all sat around him, trying unsuccessfully to turn him on. "Uh, I have something to tell you, "He said, rubbing his palms nervously. "IÕm, gay." One of the women looked at him. "Well, we're all very happy here." "NO, no you don't understand, I'm a homosexual." "Ho-mo-sec-tu-al? What does this word mean?" Andrew gulped. "Uh, poof? Faggot? Fairy, fudge packer, arse fuckerÉ punse???? c'mon, you have to know!!!!" They all shook their heads. He started screaming and ran from his seated position through the silken doors. He figured that if homosexuals didnÕt exist on this world there wouldnÕt be any willing shoulder less men to share his lovinÕ with. He found himself in the outer room, but it seemed to be set up like a court, and his ex-friends were on trial.Ê ÒAnd straight after this trial you will be sent straight to the other side of the palace to have your shoulders amputated.Ó Said the Judge. ÊAnd slam went the Judges fist!Ê After taking quick assessment of the room, he bolted for the door. Then a great confusion erupted in the court, because the shoulders less people were all wondering what they had done to displease their latest God. They all chased after him out the door.Ê In the confusion the others managed to escape, and ran for the door with the heaving masses of people that were leaving the room.Ê When they got outside they could see Andrew some distance ahead racing for the Stargate.Ê He started dialling, slamming randomly on the symbols with his fist. By the time they got to the gate it had opened, and all the people were around it on their knees praying that he not leave them. ÊAndrew didnÕt look back and jumped through the wormhole. ÊThe others followed and Mat was last to go through. He took one last look back at the ridiculous looking, shoulder less people, the twin suns and the structures in which the people lived. ÊHe turned then and stepped through the gateÉ ÊThere was the nauseating rushing roller coaster ride again, and they emerged on a galaxy, far far away. ÊJust as the gate was about to close, another body came crashing though, to end up sprawled on the pavement. It was Kal. He had been reformed from the blasterÕs memory just at the last moments of their escape. He said in the time when he had been de-materialized, he had been living his dreams, which were bloody and gory video games in bizarre environments. He was quite torn. ÊThey all expected to find themselves in the safe confines of the downball court, delivered safe and sound back to earth. But they were wrongÉ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Next, on SchoolGate, the motley group of teenagers find themselves on EverythingÕs a Monologue WorldÉ Coming soon! ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Disclaimer (Of sorts): We would like to say that we meant by this piece of literature not to make anyone feel bad, in other words please don't take this personally.

Um, I'm getting my hair cut this week probably, burt I'm scared it will show off my bald spot. The story of how I got it is pretty sexy (I was a teenage rebel hanging out in a beach beach town one summer, it was one of my best friend's birthday's. Tony Hawks (This was the original , oooh, *retro*) was getting a little stale so we decided to go get a video of cetain children getting pissed for the first time,just for a laugh, but did we walk, oh no, we had to take the long board (Kal was making up for his shortness with an extra long skateboard) and I had to get on it liek the unco I ma and then proceed to get off it, decidingnto to land on my feet, but my nog. Good one, shithead) but the actual mark it left isn't. Damn. Actually the story isn't even that sexy, but it made lots of guys talk to me at the time. And a cute guy carried me home. YAy. Actually, I want to tell a story about that video. Andrew and Mel got pissed and mat taped it, but Andrew was being so harsh to Mat the entire time, even though they used to be best friends. Mat said stuff back, but you can't hear it on the video. Fuggin winos. I didn't get to watch it till the week after when mat came over because I had to leave his party early because of my brain spewing from my head (Hence my now lacking of brains). His mum went mental about that. it's pretty funny now. We were little 15 and 16 year olds. Actually we "recorded" for the first time back then. Mat pretended to be a pro skater on the video and he's taking about all the tricks he can pull. it's so funny. We were so little. ****** I just found soem stuff from my old old website that isn't up anymore... [Image] Keep Bai bai alive! ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Okay, I'd just like to say firstly, that Bai Bai is a word that we all know and love, and I have no problem with that, but when I go into yahoo chat and see complete strangers using it, i do feel a little hurt. Maybe this page will open up to you just how important the word bai repeated once is to our society. Bai bai. Two simple three letter words I discovered on a letter a girl from Japan sent my sister. That's where it began, if there is really a place. But back then, I wasn't using it as a common greeting as I do now, I just thought it was wacky and cool. In a two-second-awe kind of way. Nothing more than a silent smirk for a moment of half-arsed amusement. It never came into my head for a long time, maybe even a few years, but when it did, it was in the form of a mis-spelt form of the now famous goodbye. It was on the end of an email from Mat, and it was spelt "bay bay". This started my mind really pumping. These words had enormous potential. With the quick re-spelling into "bai bai" an new phenomonon was born. It was no time at all before I was noticing Bai Bai on the end of every letter and yelling it across the school yard. It evolved from not only a word for saying goodbye, but a word for hello, go away, ending conversations and so on. Soon even my parents were saying it, it was really quite amazing. To think a few months before, I would have found it absurd to scream BAI BAI across a half-full bus. I guess that's why bai bai is so important to me. And why I don't want to see it abused. Bai bai is a word that needs to be respected, and also a word that needs a lot of understanding before it can be used with real heart. You have to become an expert before knowing exactly when bai bai should be written in capitals or not. And it takes even more to be able to decipher just the right moment to add it into an otherwise serious conversation. For example, before I say bai bai to someone for the first time, I must always recognise a few factors. Peer group, age and background are all pieces of vital infomation I need to take in before saying those words. And back to how to write it, as I said before. Signing off a letter with BAI BAI rather than bai bai, can look extremely extroverted and rude to the unsuspecting reader, but at the same time, wirtting bai bai, rather than BAI BAI! can sometiems leave the reader feeling like there should be something more, like the letter is somewhat dull and flat. It takes long hours of painful practice and persistence, but in the end, it is worth it. That's why I wanted to start the Bai bai awareness online program. I want people to just sit back and think next time they use the words, so they will really understand what an impact they can have. Hearing bai bai used in the worng way can be like hearing swearing to a bai bai expert. Whn saying bai bai, people need to remember not to sound like a American speaking french. The key is confidence, but not too much confidence. Always remember that, and you should be fine. Please help me spread the words, or words. If you have a website, please put this banner up to show your support. And write to me with your feelings of experiences with the word. Have fun, and remember, BAI BAI! ^_^ BBBBBB A IIIIIIIIIII B B A A II B B A A II BBBBB A AAAAA II B B A A II B B A A II BBBBBB A A IIIIIIIIIII BBBBBB A IIIIIIIIIII B B A A II B B A A II BBBBB A AAAAA II B B A A II B B A A II BBBBBB A A IIIIIIIIIII [Image] ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Saturday, October 25, 2003
this is soo soo scary. I think reading just one line of this blog made me dumber! These are the boots one of my friends is getting: 
They Kinda scare me, but otherwise they are pretty cool. Wasabi klan This Is My and Dougs' new webpage. It has a forum. wooo I also have a new email adress, which is: cara@wasabiklan.com yay Saturday, October 11, 2003
Lame sign of punk rock getting even crapper of the week : Pink is going out with Lars and apparently Tim wrote a whole bunch of songs for her new album. I don't hate pink but.... rancid have so become typical pop stars, I don't really like their new (ish) song, either, it sounds way too poppy. And you can so tell pink is only going out with Lars for street cred (even though Lars looks like he'd be a really nice guy...he also looks about 40) Fucktard(s) of the week : GC I hate them so much and now hate them even more that they paid out dashboard at a show. Gee boys, how punk of you. You can dress punk, hang out with punks and get tattoos but as long as your songs are all shitty boy band style songs you will never be punk. God, If I was their father I would have left them too, gits. Song of the week: what we do on Christmas by Atom and his package. It's such a funny song and you have to get it any way you can, I'm listening to it right now, I especially like the disclaimer at the end. Song you'll be hearing on the radio any time soon: feeling this by Blink 182 hmmmmm, yay, they still suck, it's nice to know these things. Thissong reminds me of some other band but I can't think of who. God I laughed my arse off at this article, it's so funny! And here's a good one for any graphic designery people reading. and another. This one is really funny. Sunday, October 05, 2003
This is not Normal No offense to the person who wrote this, but they should seriously be shot or at least beaten into submission. I can't actually even read this fic properly, I just look at parts of it and gag. People who know me know I tend to love reading fanfic, and it doesn;t matter if it's het or slash if it's written well. But writing fan fic about REAL PEOPLE is damn freaky. I don't want to read about the Bright Eyes dude fucking chris, does that make me odd? "I have a side project that’s just me and it’s songs about spaceships. The band’s called the Sensational Four. I find it really funny because it’s just me" God, this inteview makes me think of Mat! And Chris is a mac user! Just when I thought he couldn't get any sexier! Saturday, October 04, 2003
Things of the week...Brought to you by Micky Dee's Blowup of the week goes to Chris Carrabba for this wonderful outburst, as told by someone on the DC forums: Re: Re: salem show! (Sunday 11:46 pm) at a break in the 1st song, chris said something like "c'mon man, don't just stand there and give me the finger the whole show.." they went back into the song, but chris stopped on his own a minute later, and the rest of the band finally noticed and stopped playing.. chris then told the guy that if he had a problem, he could come onstage.. chris offered the guy the mic, and said the crowd would part ways for him.. i'm not sure of the guys response, but chris asked him if he was too much of a "f*ckin' p*ssey" to come up, and called him (deservedly) an *sshole.. then he said something like "get this guy out of here, get him his money back", then he appologized, then they played on.. he appologized a second time a few songs later.. Ouch, he's really got a potty mouth I'd usually expect to hear from Mr Durst, or Mr Mathers! Word is Chris is soon to be releasing a side project ep of hip hop songs, entitiled: "Don't touch my ho's or I'll fucking cap yo wit my glock, biatch" with such soon-to-be hits as... "Carry this piece for luck" "This bitter Ill" "booty calls" and the timeless "The sharp hint of my boot in yo' fucking ass, fool" Here's some examples of lyrics... "On the way home this bentley hears my confessions i think tonight I'll take the long way in this ghetto the boys outside are fighting over whos got the baggiest clothes" Fucktard of the week Goes to Justin "I'm loving it" Timberlake... Is this ad meant to make you think that if you eat McDonalds you'll become cool and get to go out with Britney for awhile until she dumps you and you suddenly decide you're black and cry about your dogs on a bad cable tv show?? McDonalds makes you fat and stupid. Nothing else. ...And also to the Ataris. SO you signed to a major so more people would hear you make shitty cover songs? You're not kidding anyone guys, you did it for the bling bling and we all know it. But just one question, does the radio still suck, or are you okay with it now it plays your aural fecal matter? (even my dad thinks these guys sold out, and he usually thinks I'm a music snob) Funny coincedence of the week (but not really a coincidence.) The Distillers are touring with QOTSA. Wow, I bet a blind man behind a brick wall on a foggy night still saw that one coming. Maybe Brodie and that lead singer from QOTSA will fuck on stage while burning Rancid merchandise? Really Brodie, it's not cool, Courtney did the whole "social climbing by fucking rock stars to gain attention you talent bankrupt music would never get you otherwise" thing years ago, and she did drugs too! Makes me embarresed to think how close I live to "a tropical London". Magazine i still hate this week : Rolling stone Seriously, do the editors of this mag really believe anyone besides 14 year olds pay attention to this waste of paper? Hurry up and put "teen" at the start of your title and get it over with. Best song I downloaded this week : I fell asleep on my arm by the aquabats I loved this song the first time I heard it on Mondo Bizzaro. It still cracks me up. Well thats all for this week Friday, October 03, 2003
Chris' mix tape heh heh. Justin Timberlake. Ugh. Did Chirs go to the VMA's?? If he did id he do the standing ovation with justin when he did one with himself? Ah well, he likes the music, not the person, neccesarily, at least. He likes heaps of really good songs though. It's so true about ten minutes, its such a hyping up song. And the future freask me out is one of my favourite favourite songs right now. Luv it! There was a silverchair concert on the tv this morning. Fat boy-yee! You've gotta say it like that. It's weird to think that you like somwehting so much for so long, and then y ou just get over it, like that. I think it's because Daniel Johns is just way too pretentious for me these days. He seems to have little touch with reality, and I think that music loses its meaning in those circumstances. LOL, I am reading a debate they're having on the dashboard forums about if Chris is reffering to sex when he talks about "getting some". Allie and I have this discussion quite a lot. I used to think it didn't mean it, but now I think it does. I now really really do have every single dashboard cd. I got the drowning ep and the so impossible ep at missing link. My collection is complete! For now... I had a really sexy piture to put up, but the place that hosts all my pics is down at the moment, so I'll put it up asap. I'll give you a few hints, though, chris in a wife-beater... Monday, September 22, 2003
Now I just need to grow a beard... This will be a pretty long and exciting blog, cause quite a few things have happened. I won't go in order, though, I'll start by saying : a guy that looked just like chris came in to work on Saturday. Exactly like Chris except for the fact that he was BLONDE. It was bizarre ! He even had the cattapillar eyebrows and the cute little buckteeth-that-aren't and the sad Chris mouth (you know what I'm talking about, Chris's mouth is sad on the sides, even if he isn't really sad at the time.) He was really cute and I couldn't help going into a daze whilst I served him. I think he thought I was weird. He's probably right. Yeah, Well anyway, I went to see Thinktank gyroscope and the skeppers on firday night. It was a good night, but I spent way too much money on merch! Gyroscope were good, from the half of their set I saw, different to what I was expecting. Really heavy emo-core stuff, I liked it though. Someone had wrongly told me they are a pop-punk band. Definately not. One of the guys had the whole afro going, I think he might have thought he was Cedric from ATDI, but yeah, it was good stuff. Thinktank were excellent, yet again. I think they are one of my very small list of favourite Australian bands, definately my other fav emo band apart from blueline, I could go and see them live a million times and never get bored. Allie did some Crazy dancing right in the middle of the floor she did the whole grunge headbang, which scared some of the emo kids, I think. I think Darren was pretty impressed. Afterward I talked to Jeremy cause I was going to bring him a mix tape but my stereo was stuffed. They are really nice guys, and I can't wait to see the band again, now I actually have some of their cds, so I'll know more than one or two songs! We also danced with Random Drunk Girl, who was a total legend (in a drunk loser kind of way). To tell you the truth, I only really went to this gig to see thinktank (no offence to Aniskeptic.) I get the feeling that Antiskeptic take themselves too seriously, and also think very highly of themselves, too. After recently claming "we're just not punk" (Forte magazine #306 Sept 4), they seem pretty happy to sell bucketloads of merch to all the local punk kids, and do the whole punk rock shtick of crussing around the stage and holding out mics to the crowd to join in. Sorry but this offends me. And it should be offending more of the scene than it apparently is. I get sick of bands that forget were their roots are and start shitting where they used to eat. In doesn't earn any respect in my book. I did an interview with these guys a few years back for a zine that never got published, and they seemed nice at the time, but now I get the feeling they wouldn't give me the time of day. Maybe I'm being overly judgemental, but when Andrew started name dropping to guys in the crowd from local punk bands, it made me want to shove a shard of broken bass drum in my eye. Yeah, it's cool to associate with local punk bands, it's just not cool to be in one yourself, right? I'll post the original interview I did with them at the bottom of this post and if anyone really wants me to, I'll put up the forte one sometime, too. I guess you can't really judge people till you've talked to them face to face, but I don't think forte is the kind of mag to put words into people's mouths. Highlight of their set was when Jeremy came out to do some screamo bits. Yeah! Here are some pics... Here's the thinktanks setlist from the night... Here's my new hat, Mitch Clem would not approve. Top Five albums/eps I'm listening to right now : thinktank - rules for revolution Dashboard confessional - Drowning ep Motion City soundtrack - this is the movie Common rider - this is unity music randy- the human atom bombs I can't say enough good things about Motion City Soundtrack at the moment. They rock. Yeah, and now I have every single dc cd, and two versions of the Mtv one, the australian and the US. I want to get the UK MMBS and Drowning on cd, and not just mp3s. Someone is selling a vacant andys record for loads on ebay. I want. Can you get Vacant andys stuff on kazza, I wonder? Odesn't matter because I can't get kazzaa on a mac anyways. No law suits for me! Okay, here's the inteview now Circa summer 2001. (hence the writing skills) Oh yeah remember, Sean isn't in the band anymore, either. C-Okay, firstly, who are you guys? and what do you do? Are you dog people, or cat people? S- Im Sean, the bass player, I'm a youthworker and i am definitely a dog guy! N- I'm Nick i play the drums and I'm a cat and dog person, but I like dogs better...cats are snobby little bastards sometimes! C-How long have you been together ? S-About 2 years. Pretty simple C-Who would you say are your biggest influences? Have you always been into punk, or are you actually abba fans at heart? S-Well my biggest influences change as I find new and better music but i suppose the classic's for me were : 'Helmet-Betty' Tool-Undertow' and Deftones-Around the Fur' but I'm into heaps new stuff...but definitely not ABBA! N- Well the 2 first records I bought were Green Day's Dookie and silverchair's Frogstomp...i look back at that now and reckon they defined the way that i play drums...Energetic Rock! C-Out of all the places you have played, where do you think the scene is the strongest? Where are the craziest fans? S-Melbourne. Melbourne is like the Mecca for rock in Australia! N- Melbourne is Rock City, we have a great scene, but I reckon Adelaide has an awesome scene, they seem to just pop out great bands! C-Hey, what does T.S.P. stand for? all I can think of is the abbreviation for tablespoon, but then again, I am stupid. S-Oh man, we cant tell you that.Then we would be giving away all the secrets! I'm not saying but if the other guys do tell you then fine! N- The Side Project.....cos that's what Antiskeptic was...a side project to Andrew and Sean's old band. C- Who are the coolest band you've played with so far? Were there any bands where you felt like "Hey, I'm playing with (insert band), is this really happening?"? S- Okay...its different for us all...I was stoked to play with Bodyjar...but playing with Unwritten Law has to take the cake for me! Yeh definitely Unwritten Law! N- Jimmy Eat World, Unwritten Law and Bodyjar. 3 of my all-time favourite bands.....I've just got silverchair, green day and foo fighters to go and I'll die a happy man! C- Tell me all about your new cd that's coming out, like how you feel it will go popularity wise, and why I should buy it? S- You should buy it because there's this rad little 'promo-video-clip' for your computer and its rad and stuff! Its five songs...two taken off the album...three B-sides....including the first song we EVER wrote called 'Jimmy was always thinking' a bit of skepper history! N- It stinkin' Rocks!!! C- Coke or Pepsi? Or Japanese grape fanta? (it's good) S- Neither...coke rots ya teeth and it de-hydrates you on stage if you drink it. Go water any day... or a chocolate Big M!!! N- The Mint Chocolate Bomb from Gloria Jeans coffee house... absolutely amazing! C- Do you think being a "Christian punk band" improves or limits your success? For example, seraphs coal are one of the sickest bands out there, and yet I wouldn't know who they were if one of my friends hadn't given me a Christian mag with a free cd on the front. I mean, you have to go into a Christian bookstore to get their stuff down in Geelong. Do you think some kids out there think the whole Christian thing is "uncool"? Have you ever been abused on stage about the whole thing? Then again, if people are that judgmental about your faith and don't judge you on your musical talent, who needs 'em? (sorry about the long question/comment thing) N- I think some of the best punk bands in Australia are Christians, and I don't think it limits you much at all...maybe the occasional person won't have a bar of you, but generally in this day and age people are pretty open and searching for something a bit more positive to listen to. S-Well...it doesn't limit us because it isn't something we really promote. If we did...then yes it would very much limit us...people don't even give you a chance if they hear that we are christians. They expect the stereo type la la la band who's all boring and preachy. Its not like we hide our faith...there's messages in the music...and it isn't big preachy stuff. I mean (don't take this the wrong way) really...what good is Christian music if its only heard by Christian kids? Its like selling ice to the Eskimos isn't it. Best to think of us as a secular band. Because that's what we are. C- What do you enjoy doing when you aren't being rockstars? Stamp collecting? Whale watching? Wine tasting? Sleeping? N-I just love music...listening, buying, watching, playing...it's my favourite thing to do! S- Well to tell you the truth..I'm learning how to skate. (board) I figured...i need to do something for fun...other than the band so yeh there you go. C- Any bands you are itching to see this summer? S- Oh yes most definitely 'System of a Down'...and silverchair. N- silverchair!!!! And I hope Jimmy Eat World and the Foo Fighters come out again soon! C- What are you hoping to get for Christmas? S- Well if Santa thinks I've been good enough....a lovely new Ampeg 15" speaker box...and a few other little trinkets...like say a wireless guitar system and maybe a rack mounted tuner. Not much! N- Money!! Clothes. Maybe a Mobile Phone...it's getting a bit hard for people to get hold of me these days! C-Where will Antiskeptic be in ten years? Or where do you hope they will be? Still making top notch tunes, kicking back in Byron Bay or Noosa having achieved all our dreams! S-Um....id like to say the Bahamas...or even Fiji, recording and producing bands in our studio for our label...he he he...something like that. C- If I was only allowed to listen to one Antiskeptic song, which would best sum up your overall sound? S- None ever! Its forever changing...but I guess 'Change My Ways' sums it all up in a nutshell really. Hence the reason we released it as a single! N- As Yet Untitled C-What are you guys doing for new years? S- I'm told there's a show with Bodyjar on the card for New Year Eve...I imagine it should be a bit of fun!!! C-Any other Aussie punk bands I should be listening to at the moment? S- Yup...lots. One Dollar Short, Seraphs Coal, Wishful Thinking, Edison, Thinktank, STR and heaps more...go seek them out! If you ever visit our web page's check out each others links! That's the best way! N- Underside, For Amusement Only, One Dollar Short, Wishful Thinking, Seraphs Coal and STR. C- Anything else you'd like to say? S- Yeh...check out all the bands we mentioned and visit their web pages, follow the links and learn about the scene. Get your street press every week, subscribe to news letters and support ZINE's like this one! Go to shows, buy CDs, go to festivals..and vote for it on the radio!!!! N- Stay cool and keep focused on the Rock! C-. Lastly, where can people catch you guys over summer, and get your new C.D.? N- I'm not sure, somewhere!.....check out www.Antiskeptic.com.au for all goss/gigs and details etc. S- Err....i believe Sonfest would be the next show... www.sonfest.com for details. Should be huge..its at the Sidney Myer Music bowl!! Wednesday, September 10, 2003

hey... I've had a crazy day today, So I'll go over it, for y'all. Okay, first up, fucktard of the week is Joel, who just tried to get me to work for him tomorrow night. Yeah right, loser, that's really gonna happen! Okay, For the first time in ages I actually didn't suck in life drawing. Daniel told me this blog made him cry. Did it really, Dan? Allie todl me I can actually sing sometimes, which made me happy. But the funniest thing is that tonight when I got on the train, there were all these stoned guys from Queensland who came and sat all around me and were talking to me. I haven't laughed so much in a long time! One of them was really cute. He was skinny with long blonde hair and he moved really slow and he was quiet and he kept looking at me funny. He was a little spunk, though, I don't usually go for fair-haired guys. Kids from the surf coast are so funny. They were all such beach bums with beachy hair and tans even though it's winter. They were nice to me, too, they weren't cocks, which is always a good thing. I rang Kal and had a really long chat, we're probably goin to see a movie tommorow. We talked a lot about punk rock and politics. It was fun. Tuesday, September 02, 2003
“I do, but the guitar is out-of-tune. It makes me confused.” He began to try to tune it, becoming more and more frustrated as it wouldn’t work. Soon he was swearing at it. I didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. “Fucking piece of shit!” Seb threw the guitar as far as he could. It sailed through the air and smashed on the road. “Fuck! Man, that’s my dad’s guitar!” Wil said, staring wide eyed at the remains being run over by a passing car. He looked like he was about to start bawling like a little kid. “I don’t fucking care! I hate you anyway dude, I’m glad your guitar is fucked. I’m glad. I mean, it was fucking impossible to tune. Who owns a guitar that you can’t tune? Fucking moron.” “YEAH?! YEAH?! WELL I CAN’T TUNE IT NOW, CAN I? God! It’s stuffed. He’s gonna be so pissed.” Sunday, August 31, 2003
 Emo Are you going to be okay? I didn't mean to hurt your feelings. Punk Or Poser brought to you by Quizilla  Saints And Sailors "Don't say that "everything's working" when everything's broken" You Just want to be happy. "Dont lie to me" should be your motto. You arent the type of person to live life as a "fairy tale" you know whats real, and you expect that from other people. Unfortunatley theres not alot of people like you, your a rare breed. Which Dashboard Confessionals song are you? brought to you by Quizilla  You are Saints and Sailors! You're sick of being lied to, you wish things would just go your way for once. You have a knack for finding people who dont appreciate what you're really about- they never seem to realize how special you really are. They use their words like weapons, they tend to be very good at hurting you with how they act. But you'll get over it someday...really, you will. Which Dashboard Song Are You? brought to you by Quizilla Shivers, I got Saints and Sailors twice! scary! You'd think I rigged it, but I didn't! I swear! that's bizzarre! *groans* oh God! why do you mock me with this most sexy and perfect of your creations. (except fo the shaven bit) dude, it's not my bandwidth, so go take a look-see, and please don't drool on the keyboard...too much. This is why I love google. Ever since I heard about this pic being in blender, I have been writing phrazes such as "Chris carrabba shirtless in blender" and tonight, my prayers were answered! Hooray for yummy little emo Italian boys with umbrellas! (why the umbrellas?) How innocent and naked does he look? and how yummy are those little hip-bone pelvis bits just before the inch of underwear? God God GOD! he is too fucking sexy for his own good. Life isn't fair.

***WARNING, SERIOUS BLOG FOR ONCE, if you're in a crappy/weird mood already, don't read this******* Shit. I just played this song I haven't played properly in over a year. I wrote it once when Joel and Ciaran made me feel like absolute shit. It was a really dark, hateful song, and I don't know, it's just like... well you know how sometimes you can't listen to certain songs, cause they bring back bad memories? Well, I was liek that. And I played it, and I sang my little heart out (badly, mind you) and God, it was like I was back in year twelve again. They used to just push me and push me till I felt so angry and upset. That's why I hate it when people are mean to other people to "get a rise". Cause it's not fucking funny at all. It hurts like hell to know someone is manipulating your emotions so easily. if I had really hated them, it would have been easier to handle. But I wanted to be friends with them, and most of the time we were, unless they were in a shitty mood. And fuck, I'm almost crying now. I've got this shakey feeling all over. Liek I played the song and just sat there afterwards, thinking about it all. I think I put really high expectations on people, and they let me down every time. And what's the fucking point? If people are onyl going to hurt you, why open yourself up to them? ...Cause I don't know any other way to be. I'm not sly, I'm not reserved, and I can't lie. I've always had the worst conscience in the world, it just wont give me a break, so I pretty much have to be 100% honest 100% of the time. I don't think I'll ever get used to how hurt it gets me, though. It seems like life's just the same story ovwer and over with different scenery. And I don't get why it has to be like that! Argh! But when I think about it, the song wasn't about hating anyone in particular, it was just about hating the way things work in general.And how people don't know how far they are pushing you when yhey're just mucking around. FUCK THEM! What a bunch of losers. Seriosuly, what is it that makes people always give me shit? am I a threat, am I that bad a person? Could someone tell me, because I think I'm missing something here! People always get stuck into me for being myself. What else am I meant to be? I said to Mat once in a letter that I would rather have the highs and lows than just be numb, but I don't know if that's true. Numbness doesn't make you strat crying when you see someone else you care about crying, numbness doesn't break your heart, numbness doesn't make you want to throw something because of the fact people can't just get along with each other and get over all the bullshit. Mel was one of those people who could, like, she had "emotional intelligence" or whatever it is, she could make me feel better, Amt mat was always good at calming me down. Kal was good at telling me not to be a fuckhead, Andrew could always make me smile (when he weren't in hate with each other - I think that's the only phrase for it, it was such a passionate thing) But now, well i don't see those guys as much any more, and besides, they aren't the heros I make them out to be in my head. Friends and cool, but in the end you're alone. I'm alone. And we keep trying, all our lives to not feel so alone, then we die. How depressing. Thursday, August 28, 2003
hello hello. I should be doing work, but instead I'm here writing to my blog. Hello Allie, I hope you read this now. I got the motion city soundtrack cd today. I have not listened to it yet, but when I do, i will talk abo Monday, August 25, 2003
ha ha ha, I just found this at Dashboard confessional online It's pretty true, and kinda scary (how many times do I make a reference to DC a day?) 12 step program for recovering Dashboard Confessional addicts 1 • Admit that you were powerless to overcome the addiction to Dashboard Confessional and that it has changed your life, and how you view the world. 2 • Believe that you can be saved, and will be whole again, without earphones as a permanent extension. 3 • Affirm that you now seek outside help to attain a healthy audio relationship. Be dedicated. 4 • Admit to yourself that it is unhealthy to listen solely to the unplugged Cd over and over again for more than forty-eight hours straight. 5 • Slowly wain yourself off of these CDs, and sprinkle in other bands. Also, get a hobby that does not involve making doodling C .C repeatedly. 6 • Also be sure to call your local radio station only once a day, and your non-local radio stations only once a week, when requesting Dashboard Confessional. 7 • Make a list of all the things about the music that you love, and also circle those qualities that you find in yourself. 8 • Sit down and list off all those whom you have subjected to Dashboard Confessional. Circle the names of those who did not like it, and those who made fun Of Chris. Prepare to forgive and forget. 9 • Make amends with these people without calling their music Satanic, or hurting them. If the latter is impossible, please skip this step and crawl off in some dark corner. No one will ever truly understand you, or your connection with Chris.. So why try and explain? 10 • Keep track of how many times you reference to Dashboard daily. Limit yourself to one less every day, until you only reference twenty times per day. This includes lyrics, random facts, and quotations. 11 • Stop dumping guys because they cannot fulfill your inner desires like Chris can. And for god sakes stop sending Brad emails about how fucking hot Chris is.... about how his smouldering eyes cut right into you, and how you dream, and pray that he will realize how madly in love he is with you, will knock on your door and wrap those two tattoo clad arms around you... .cough... umm.... 12 • Find others like yourself and help them overcome their addiction to D. C As well. Go get yourself a beer, and a nice slap on the back. You’re now a recovered addict. Sunday, August 24, 2003
a TAS guide to the new 'hands down' music video. (it's R rated kids, so ask your scary uncle with the lazy eye before reading, okay?) Seeing the new 'hands down' video hasn't been seen by most of the people who read this blog, I thought I would do an in depth analysis (hee hee that word has ANAL in it!) of it. It's really funky, camp and makes me want to prace and write haikus about the colour pink. Here's one... the colour pink isn't very manly but it makes me prance about! or Dashboard confessional are so funky and cool double time groove! (that little joke's for the people who have seen the new dvd) But besides that, as I said in my last post, the design is really cool, and deserves notice. I wonder who did it? (if you know, call me now on 1800 I-PRANCE or my old number 1800-HAPPI-BACON!-WA) I have taken some bad quality screen shots for you too "oooh" and "ahh" and possibly "oh, harder, harder!" at (dirty little cretins!) and to basically give you some kind of idea what the hell I'm talking about* *knowledge of what the hell Cara is talking about may not occur. Reading sentences that begin with asterikses may induce vomiting.That may not be the correct spelling of asterikses. Okay, here we go. (im sorry if the pics aren't in the same order as in the video, bite me) The video begins with some fluro swirly lines giving me an epileptic fit and reminding me of the funky screen saver that comes up on the emac at school. Then there is tonal dropout Chris, and his tonal dropout friends (i'm not sure it they are really totally tonal dropouts, but as far as I can tell, they are, my copy of the video is very very shizen). A tonal dropout isn't as cool as a highschool dropout, but from the looks of things just as many illegal drugs are involved. That is, if there were a drug that brought on much pastel colours and a love of the colour pink. (don't write to me telling me there is such a drug, I don't wanna know. Well, maybe I do, but I probably can't afford it on roadhouse wages. Viva la tragic artist whining!) Chris screams in terror as something pink attacks him. Sorry buddy, but that's just the beginning. in the first chorus thereare some funky leaf things. i like the leaves. They have the double time groove. BOM to the F U N K! Leaves attack Chris and Mike, much like those other evil plants we all know and love, triffids. See, one's whacking Chris in the eye, he'll be blind, or worse, only able to see pinkish colours in the light spectrum! Back you prancing flora fiends! One of my favourite things in the clip is the cool hair. It's so vectorific! even the hair is pink! Okay, let me just say now, that I actually like the colour pink in moderation. Katie uses it well, and it's pretty cool at making something feminine straight away design-wise. I just find it hilarious how many guys will freak at seeing so much pink in three minutes. Well, boys, like Steven Biko said, "you're more pink than white". there are then some curly things and clouds. I like the curly things and clouds. But Chris, wont they clash with your Emohawk? During the video Chris does quite a bit of windmilling. Something I've never seen him do before, but looks really cute and fits if with the arguably eightiesness of the clip. I can't exactly remember what happens next (the flashbacks haven't started yet) but I think it might be this bit. My sister reckons this bit looks like he's spitting, but I think the stuff flying around looks much more like something else. Yes, I am speaking of trouser snake venom, otherwise known as semen. Hey, I always thought music videos were a bit of a wank! Chris looks less than exstatic about the projectile of manjuice flying towards him. can anyone here say softcore porn? There was also a funky stereo. Considering how much I love old school stereos, this was very 'Giiii!' worthy This was one of my other favourite bits because, well, it reminds me much of Bec talking about visual orgasms in class Chris making a facial expression every screaming fan girl could only dream of making him do. Scott's bass gets attacked by the pink things from the start of the clip. Ouch There was also this orange bit, where I think chris looks like god. (this one isn't in order) "thou shalt not make fun of my emohawk! it makes me look taller!" So there you have it. Lots of pink and puple and blue and bad rock moves. You don't even need to see the clip now. It's nowhere near as good as this analysis. Begone. Away now, I say! Oh yeah, I give this video five screaming emo boys. Saturday, August 23, 2003
fucktard of the week award goes to the guy who wrote this article. IYCLIBMAWMIB a pop-punk song! What the fuck? Yeah, I can hear the poppyness in it! Geez, if you are gonna pay out a song for being pop-punk why choose the least poppy song on the album? FUCK! And Marshall wouldn't dare diss Chris out, too many angry emo chicks to shoot or whatever the fuck white-boy faggot hating rappers do. *screams* 
you know you're not going to NN2S enough when you see the latest comic at some random emo kid's blog (this just happened to me). I'm writing the TAS guide to the new hands down video at the moment, It should be up soon, with screenshots for all you kids who dont own real player. Friday, August 22, 2003
YO! Waaaasssssssssssaaaaaaaabi! (yeah, the japanese horseradish stuff) I like it, but I think Daniel was frightened by it! Or it was hurting his mouth. Either way. I watched big screen dash today. Yayness! Bruce said he really liked the music, too, actually, it's really bizzare, all of the sudden all these people are actually paying attention to my musical tastes and going "hey that's really good, will you burn it for me??" Katie actually said she'd go see CD with me if they came to Australia. I know she just wants to do some peenie perving (don't ask)! Speaking of Katie, I just saw the new hands down music video, it's so graphic-designish! It's a very brave move, cause it's extremely camp, and I spose it's maybe a bit rinzen-ish, or one of those types of studios. But god it's camp and happy! It's like a happy little gay thing, even though it's about a girl! So pastel pink. Again, I have to say, very brave move, I don't know who it's aimed at, but meh, I can appreciate it for all it's tonal dropout eighties goodness. It makes me want to fill my illustrator pallet with various shades of pink and blue and draw expoding stars and clouds and silloettes of birdies and things! *prances to some random place* I'd like to be art director for their next video. If you're reading this, any members of DC, Allie, Katie and I have incriminating high res german photos of peenie positioning!!!!! (again, don't ask) So ou'd better let us design everything you need designed from now on. (as long as it doesn't involve environmental murals!) speaking of illustrator, behold the splotchy skin tones! Booyah!!!!! I like the eyes. But it's a bit too complicated. *prances some more* woooo! That campy DC video has made me all prancy ! wooooo! Pastel pink! Pastel blue! Lotsa tattoos! the confoosingness of it awl! Makes me prance *prances*. Tuesday, August 19, 2003

"James Van Der Beek?!?" well, I went to see blueline medic again and they were soooo good!!!! It was great, I would definately go to see them again. Donnie came and talked to us after the show, he was the nicest guy. We kept seeing him walk by to pack his car, and I was too shy to talk to him, but then he came over to us, and he was like "hey, you guys were in the front row, right, thanks so much for coming to the show...." and so on. He was so cool. They are so cool. They played all my fav songs, too. when they played "making the nouveau riche", I wanted to do the little clappy thing soooo bad, and there was this chick beside me getting into it (one of lisa's friends, I think), so we both did it together. It was so fun! I wish Allie had been there for that song, I remember listening to it once, and then she started singing in and I was like "WH-AT!?!?!" I couldn't believe she knew such a cool song. The most embarresing thing was that both me and Lis wore our bodyjar teeshirts! Nathan got a funny photo of it, I should write to him and get a copy. Actually, that reminds me of the best call of the night, these guys were like yelling "write us!" over and over (as you do when you want to hear a song...not) and the guys in the band yelled out "what's your email?" I thought it was funny, anyway. I'll talk about mel's play next post. Tuesday, August 12, 2003
*drools* if Dashboard confessional getting popular means more stuff like this, I hope they go #1 on the charts Sunday, August 03, 2003
Well, not that much has happened, i went to anti on firday night mel and sim came, so it was lots of fun - cause I've never gone out to clubs with them before. I had teat with Lesh, Nat and dan at fujisan again. I downloaded the so impossible ep and an alkaline trio album and also anywhere but here by the ataris. I made friends with this guy who owns a kdx server, so that's pretty cool. Very nice guy. Thursday, July 31, 2003
*sighs gigantic sigh or relief* Ahhh. The track I thought was morning calls was misstitled. It's actually several ways to die trying/diffuse. So yay! I was alll confused! I 'm glad, though. I think it's one of the best DC songs ever, it rocks! yayayayayayayayay! I'm eating sushi for tea tomorrow, then going out punkin'! squeeeee! Monday, July 28, 2003
oh, and by the way... Feel free to post this wherevere you like. and print it out, or put it on a teeshirt. It's petty, but so is the person who prompted it to happen. "tepid water chase the pills with turpentonic chamomile and don't get cheap the wine, you need to be up, all of the time, all of the time. Sheld your eyes,conceal your lies, don't blink, everyone's watching, they'll think, you're up to something, they need for you to be, everything that I think you're not." -morning calls Rocking, very much so. This cd is growing on me like a fungus. ew. I'm not downloading the songs I haven't heard yet, though. I want them to be a surprise! Arrgh! 
Oh, the sexiness. The horrible, horrible sexiness. Sunday, July 27, 2003
I've been downloading so many roms it's not funny. I love FF3 to death. The storyline is great and the characters are cool. It's fun playing these cool snes games on my mac! My old snes is dying out anyway. Snes games are too hard to find. Plus, when you do find them, they are $20 each! I listened to a few on the new DC songs, very naughty of me. "as lovers go" is so Beach boys. It ever has the same strumming patterns and little "ahhh ahh ahhhhhhhh"'s. It's gorgeous, I love it. I love how far chris is trying to go with his harmonies. it's going to take me awhile to get used to the new DC, though. They are totally different! Morning calls disappointed me at first, because it's not as sad as the live version, "take notice, take interest, take me with you.... I'M DYING TO KNOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Oh, it makes me cry, but the new version is growing on me. So far the new albums seems frighteningly happy and radio friendly, but I'm yet to hear the recorded version of if you can't leave it be (sans "shut up!" LOL). I guess it's nice to see that Chris isn't as depressed anymore... but gah, tinyboppers will like it too much. It's so clean now, pop anthem-like. I love it, but is it going to ruin everything... let's just wait and see. friday's stuff.>>>> Well, Lame hp is up again, but it's a bit stuffed at the moment. I'm pretty happy because last night I found some new KDX servers that let me leech loads of music. I Downloaded a few fugazi songs I've wanted for ages. Oh, and crap! DC's new album is everywhere, so I don't know if I'll wait till the 18th or not. Plus, CC probably won't have it in for ages anyway. I left school early today because I was dying. John wont be pleased. But I don't wag that often, and it's not really wagging with you're sick. Katie got here licence! Well done. Blueline are playing at anti on the 15th, but it's the same night as Mel's play. Thursday, July 10, 2003
for anyone who doesn't read the messages at the end of the posts I make. Alison defends James Potter. An OotP spoiler of sorts. (don't read if you haven't read the book) Sure James was an arrogant jock when he was 15, but that doesn’t mean that he could never change. A lot of people are pricks when they are younger before they realise that bullying or thinking that your better then people means nothing in real life! Ok, what did we learn from Snape’s memory: a) James was (I repeat WAS) showing off. To Wormtail and more particularly Lily. b) James hated Severus and vice versa, though it is unclear who really started it. c) Lily was a good person. I doubt that she would ever have gone out with someone who was such a prat. Her sister was Petunia and her parents were proud of her. So she had an average childhood and I’m guessing (it’s a guess) that Petunia was never nice to her, but she still grew up caring and loving. d) James and Sirius favourite past time was ganging up on “Snivellus”, and the hatred was mutable. My guess is that James would jinx/hex Severus one day and the next Severus would attack them the next. Ok, so then we move on to Harry’s head visiting Sirius and Lupin. And here we learn: a) That James hated all things Dark Arts (Lupin is excluded ‘cause it’s not his fault a werewolf bit him) and Severus had a passion for Dark Arts. b) Sirius was never proud of the way the acted back then. It was childish and he admits that they were idiots and “arrogant little berks”. c) Remus says that he should said something or done some thing (he is kind of the Hermione of the group, the voice of reason) and Sirius says that Remus did make them feel guilty and ashamed of some of the stuff they did! d) That James never got over hating Severus. That Lily did go out with him in the seventh year “once James had deflated his head a bit” So he must have changed. e) And a lot of people act like they are top shit when they're around 15-17. An example outside of this is us. KD has admitted that she used to pick on a girl when she was in high school and that she isn’t proud of it looking back. And I bet you’ve done something almost as low what James did and I believe that if I try hard enough I can find times when I picked on someone or didn’t do anything when my friends picked on someone else. We’ve all been there. Okay, if I remember correctly, in PoA Remus explains of a time when Sirius thought it would be “amusing’ to play a prank on Snape. How he told Snape he could see a real werewolf and when James heard was Sirius had done he went to find Snape before he got hurt. He must have been decent to put aside his hate to save him, So I do feel sorry for Severus Snape, but we shouldn’t hate James. He was a decent guy who just took his hatred too far! I didn’t like it but I also didn’t like a few other things in that book. I’m still depressed. And people can change, Snape was semi evil, on Voldie’s side but turned spy for Dumbledore. So anything is possible when a person character is concerned. It’s just my belief that James was conceited when he was young and came to realise that it was not the way to be. hi, i was going to mail this to you but you said you were having e-mail trouble. ***** Sorry, I still think he's an arsehole, no matter what you say. AndI never pay people out for no reason. There's always one, however small it is. |
