Let's Talk About Hair

We all know that the blondes and the brunettes have been militant and resentful towards each other most of the time. Take that one commercial about hair products for example: the two disputing sides were talking smack about each other. "Yeah, brunettes look so pretty...with their mustaches and all..."-The Blondes (figures...) But even through all of this rage and hate, there all still people who try to keep the peace. Some may say the red heads, but that's not always true, though. Red heads are an independent minority group...I doubt they would want to get involved with the conflict between the blondes and the brunettes. Some may say Lindsay Lohan, "Hell, she changes her hair color every friggin month! Black, blonde, red, brown you name it..." Well...yeah..okay...but Lindsay, in my view, only changes her hair color because she's confused and indecisive. Pick a color, Lindsay! I think that people like Jade Puget have hair that says, "Stop fighting, children! Be happy with the hair color God gave your peers and friends!"

1.Prelude 12/21-AFI
2.Intro-Gorillaz
3.Butterflies and Hurricanes-Muse
4.Bring To Life- Evanescence

Even if this assignment was one of the best ones assigned in a while..there's still a catch-I have to write a sentence or so for each song describing its significance to me...ain't that just...peachy?

I have the video!

I couldn't post the actual video on here because it's on a different site WHICH IS NOT YOUTUBE (GRR!). But they did ask my question (near the beginning), which was awesome. So i have the link. Remember: I'm Julie (im blowing my own cover..psh...watever) and I asked "What would you name a song inspired by the sight of children leaping through a garden sprinkler?" (and they said I couldn't get off from work! How old do they think I am?! But watever, they laughed at my question..which was my goal i guess..) please tell me what they said...or at least give me a guess cause i haven't a clear idea of what they answered.I heard "we and peeing" So here's the link:
The Shins on the Woody Show At Live 105 (answering my somewhat disturbed question)

NO EFFIN WAY!

Okay, it started out like this: there was this contest at my local radio station, Live 105. You can submit questions to the morning show to ask a band called the Shins. If they like your question, they'll invite you to go meet the band and ask them your question. I sent an email to the morning show at about 6:17 on the morning of the last day to submit questions. That afternoon when I came home from school I checked my messages. There was one from Greg Gory from the morning show. I read the email and it said (quote) "We'd like you to join us tommorrow!" and i was like OH, CRAP-OH-LA! I asked my mom (more like groveled) if i could go. Unfortunately it was on a school day...during school. My mom said no, which was expected. I already invited my friend and when I told her I couldn't go, she was just as upset as I was. I was forced to email the station to tell them i couldn't go, but I did ask them to read my question anyway so i could hear the reply. They compassionately agreed. On the day of the almost Shins encounter, me and my friend were drowning ourselves in sorrow...I, personally, felt like a a herd of cows chased out of a nice,green pasture by wild horses, locked out, and was forced to eat weeds. Yesterday, my friend called one of the radio djs that were on in the afternoon and told him of our horrible luck. He played the Shins song, "Phantom Limb" and mentioned our incident on the radio. Of course, I thought this was a bit ironic...in a sense...Anyway, as soon as the station posts the video of the interview on the site, I will post it up on this blog...I look forward to seeing the Shins's reaction to my question. By the way, my question was "What would you call a song that was inspired by the sight of children leaping througha garden sprinkler?" (yeah i coined it from my profile question, but it was originally a ballet that was being named. Since the Shins are musicians, I figured they would rather name a song.)

I'm so ashamed!

Darn my shameful ignorance! I just found out now, at 10:11 PM, that it is Friday the 13th. I am completely mortified! I can't even think of the right words to describe my embarrassment. It's like Miss America realizing her bikini was too tight..too late. Yeah, it's like that. I hope I can laugh about this when I am rich and successful...but the weak tend to remember horrid experiences

To Be Announced...

There will soon be a got milk commercial (made by urs truly...with limited...resources and materials used...) It will be humorous...and depressing...like what happens when you separate a broken child from the nutritional goodness of dairy products...(well now you get the idea of what the commercial is to be about...I shall say no more...)

A musician's need to a annunciate, or a fan's habit of mishearing?

This is one of my most favorite songs from AFI. Often times when I hear it on the radio, I try to sing along and yet no matter how hard I try, I can't seem to keep up with the lyrics. Then one day, I finally said," That's it! Time to end this once and for all!" I switched on the computer, typed in "silver and cold lyrics" on Google, and scanned the lyrics with a critical eye. What I saw was completely mortifying. All this time I've been singing the wrong lyrics. I began to cry. Not only because the real lyrics were so beautiful, but also because of my shameful ignorance and idiotic interpretations. So here's my advice to all of you: always look up the lyrics before yo decide to sing along with any song...to save yourself some humiliation.

Merry Easter to you, mate

Shown above is the Easter egg that I decorated. Since I wasn't able to decorate a real egg (possibly because my teachers belive that teenagers are much to mature to decorate eggs and go egg hunting...) I have drawn a circle and got creative. In my opinion, I think that its easier to celebrate Easter this way, besides attending mass and all that. It's a no-mess activity, therefore your mom won't be chasing you out of her kitchen aka "domain" with a red-hot poker.It's also easier to draw on, so you can make your egg resemble...just about anything egg-shaped. As for egg hunting, I suppose you can hide them in secret places of your neopets account..or your blogspot account (which I'm not exactly inclined to do for fear of not remembering where I put my lovely works of art) So go make your egg now...before Easter is over...

Don't bother watching this shameful disgrace of a film

I rented this movie, and I have to say, it's rather...INCREDIBLY DISAPPOINTING. The acting was good, but the director could have at least took the liberty of making movie..based on the book! I mean, the events are all out of order, and the characters aren't how they are described in the book. Arya looks like Marilyn Monroe when she's supposed to look like Arwen from LOTR, Durza has a pot belly and BLUE EYES (when the book clearly stated he had maroon eyes), Brom doesn't even look like an ancient old man ( barely has any gray hair..probably because he shaved half of it off, along with his beard...) Uncle Garrow looks Dutch, and Angela looks like...a bewitched..prostitute! And Solembum-wait- Solembum wasn't even in the movie!The only thought that was in my mind half way through the movie was to take a gun and shoot the dvd player...then buy a new one to watch X-men. Darn you to heck,Stefen Fangmeier, because of you I am a broken child. I guess his intent was not to make the movie 4 hours long (which is thoroughly predictable)BUT IS IT SO HARD TO STICK TO THE BOOK?! Take The Lord of the Rings for example, they made it 3 hours long, but they kept to the book. AND THEY WON A LOAD OF OSCARS. So...I think I've made my point...my next move is to swear revenge against the screenwriters of this movie...and I will do that by making a better version of the Eragon..called "ERAGON" (with all capitols)...even if I have to keep viewers in the movie theater for 4 hours..oh well, bring extra popcorn and make sure u stretch your legs out once in a while.

Which came first-the chicken or the egg?

We've all heard the question "which came first-the chicken or the egg?" sometime in our lives. (If you haven't, then you either born yesterday, or spent your entire life living as an albino afraid of the sun). This question is seemingly impossible to answer, or so most people say. In a sense this belief is actually a fact. At first, you would believe that since chickens come from eggs, it would make sense that the egg came first. However, you would wonder where the egg came from, because eggs come from chickens. Then you think-"Wait, eggs come from chickens;chickens come from eggs. It's a cycle with no beginning, so there isn't an answer to this question! HA! Take THAT Dalai Lama!" Well,in my view, if you were to think about how an egg hatched, you may find a rather different answer. For example, an egg needs nuturing from its mother; without it it would not be able to hatch. If, say, God were to leave a single chicken egg out cold and alone, it would just sit there until it evolved into the first bare rock. So you now know that an egg can't hatch on its own. You may also know that chickens are the closest relatives to the dinosaurs, which makes them..pretty much ancient...therefore, if you were to look at the question this way, the chicken would have come first. Just to let all you know, this was my view of the question. It is not biased in any way whatsoever (though I do like eating chicken more than eggs...)

This is outrageous!

For all of you AFI fans out there, do you really believe this vile trash? I mean, we know Davey and Jade are very feminine, and, at times, have feminine desires, but it is so obvious that they are not crazed homosexuals. However, the pictures and clips chosen for this video is of perfect taste. Even I found myself squealing in delight. Kudos to yuli91. Anyway, if you would like to see other "Javey" videos (they put their names together! Like Bradgelina! My gosh!)they can be found on youtube.com...just type in JAVEY
