Guys Night Out

Well a week or two ago, we had a guys night out. And that was by far the greatest night of all time. It involved Ryan, JD, me, and our new friend Todd who was driving us. We drove all the way to Opry Mills to go see the Dark Knight in IMAX and since we got there an hour ahead of the movie, we explored the mall doing things such as finding things to "put your weed in"(apparently, there's a lot of things to put it in at the Journeys store), take pictures with a giant gorilla statue, play guitar at the Gibson Showcase, make fun of magicians, and contemplate hitting the boomerang helicopter out of the hands of the guy throwing it.

The movie was definitely even more amazing the fourth time on the IMAX screen. It could have been better if it had the entire movie in the IMAX format. But I think we all would have crapped our pants from the sheer awesomeness of the movie on such a large screen. Definitely worth the 9.50 we paid to see it.

After the movie, we just chilled in the lobby trying to figure out what exactly we should do next and where we should feast. We settled on Pizza Hut and Todd used his nifty little GPS on his phone to find one real quick. Once we got there, I found an awesome X Wing in the parking lot and I brought it inside and we all played with it. We're easily amused... We ordered two large pizzas and as we waited for our food to come out, we played with the X Wing for a while and we were wondering what was taking so long. But then a server came out and said that they ran out of large crust so they gave us four medium pizzas. The pizza gods were in our favor that night. We shall feast. We procured two peperoni and two meat lover's pizzas but split them up in half so that everyone had half peperoni and half meat lover's. As soon as we picked up the pizzas, everyone knew they'd made a grave mistake. Following our contact with the pizzas, all you could hear in that parking lot were the screams of men being burned by their feast.

Once we left Pizza Hut, we knew we needed some liquid feast to accompany our pizza feast. We ventured to CVS to acquire some Monsters. With our two Monsters each and our pizzas, we feasted on the way home. Later on in the night, our feast had betrayed us. We had eaten too much and could not eat anymore. All of us were sick in our stomachs but that didn't matter. We had feasted well and we'd sang "Don't Stop Believin'". Our night was completely perfect and it would be followed by bowling.

Here are some memorable quotes of the night courtesy of JD:

"Drive safely, I cant find my helmet!"

"I am enjoying large sums of pizza given to me by jesus!"

"Lets float the buffalo"
"Fuck a buffalo?!!"
"You know, there are only 25 buffalo in the world..."
"And we're gonna FUCK one of 'em!"

"We should take all of our blogs and make a superblog"

"Hey wouldnt it suck if we got in a wreck and died?"
"I was just thinking that"
"Hey guys, what if we just wrecked right now?"
"Holy crap guys, we need to pull over, NOW!"

"This cup holder definitely doesnt even go to this vehicle"

"How can you not have a bathroom in a CVS?!"
"I don't know, but i think we should get some monster"
"Mmmm"
"Guys, I still gotta take a major leak"

"Maybe we should take half of each others pizza, so we have half and half"

......"AHHHHH!!!!!"
"AHHHH!!!!!"
"OWWWW!!!!!"
"OUCHOUCHOUCHOUCH!!!!!!"

....."Guys, let's just never do that again"
"My leg is still on fire!!!!"
"Holy crap that was a bad idea"

What's happening to our hood?

I find myself almost constantly occupying myself with entertaining the internet on BlogTV. It's an odd existence but I find myself coming back everyday, ready to start another show and entertain my friends, strangers, and strange friends. It's even more fun when I have my friends join in on the shows. Ryan is a very reliable co-host as he can keep things rolling and there won't be a dry eye watching. These shows have lasted hours without end and somehow, I almost manage to find a new way to entertain the masses. Whether it be Donna falling asleep while she was co-hosting and letting her co-host for a few more hours whilst sleeping or Ryan lip-synching & dancing to Straight Outta Compton. It's a way to bring all of us together while we don't have the means to go see each other at the moment.

I love the internet.

Getting bored can be dangerous! ...Or peaceful.

If you don't get it, then here's a push in the right direction:

Great quotes by Ryan Riddell:

"When life gives s hope we use it all up, when life gives us fear we regift it to someone else, but when life gives us love, of all things, that's the one we keep to ourselves to hold and hide. I say that love and interest should be as free as our minds, and that only goes as far as we let it."

"It goes from my head to the paper and there I keep them trapped forever. Some have dream catchers to ward off their demons, I have thought catchers to freak out my demons."

"Pikachu is to Ash, what I am to God. Pikajew!"

Ahh that jolly ol' Ryan.

It reminds me of a joke...

I just finished reading the Killing Joke by Alan Moore, the same man who wrote the masterpiece The Watchmen. And I have to say, HE'S DONE IT AGAIN. He has somehow captured the very essence of everything that is the Joker and make it even better. The Joker is absolutely sadistic and I couldn't be more satisfied with it. All I could say after I read it was, "YES YES YES! THAT'S WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT!" It was everything the Joker is and should always be, hands down.

You can't not talk about the artwork in this beautiful book. Brian Bolland brilliantly visualized the Joker for all the world to see and he could not have done a better job. His "meticulous attention to detail" and"perfected clean-line style" have complemented this book better than most other artists could have done. He took on the task of illustrating the Joker for the masses, looked into its eyes, and slapped it like a pimp and walked away giving it the bird.

Therefore, I order you to go out and buy/borrow/steal these two masterpieces of literature. They need to be read by all! Young, old, dumb, intelligent, man, woman. Everyone must read it.

The second to last first day of high school.

My first day was pretty frickin good!

My first block is US History and that has some okay kids in there, the teacher is pretty cool since he listens to Metallica & is an alright guy. My second block is really awesome since I have two of my best friends in there, Ryan and JD. The teacher said this is gonna be the easiest class we'll ever take in high school so that should be good. It's my favorite class now!

Third block is pretty good. The teacher is really nice and she doesn't waste our time in there. We already started working instead of reading the handbook and crap like that. Fourth block is gonna be my second favorite just because I love art! I love the teacher in there but the only downside is that I don't really know anyone in there since their ALLLL freshmen! I took the class a little later than most so I'm stuck in there with freshmen since I need an art credit to graduate.

Overall, today was a great day. I was just really tired all day. But that was fixed once I got home and took a nap!

It feels good in my brain!

Just recently saw the long-awaited "Pineapple Express" and I have to say, it was all that and a bag of chips. I knew it was going to be a hilarious stoner comedy movie about dudes getting in some shenanigans and whatnot, but little did I know, it turned a totally different direction at the end with badass action, killing, and a whole lot of blood. It was completely awesome on every level imaginable. It surprisingly ranks up there with the Dark Knight in turns of entertainment value and exceeding expectations. I knew it was gonna be a hilarious movie, but it just got even better!

Seth Rogen and James Franco pull off their stoner personas perfectly mostly because I'm sure they were actually stoned throughout the whole movie. It seemed like it would be a really fun movie to work on if everyone was getting stoned on the set. Seth Rogen was actually kicked out of a after show party when the other partygoers suspected he was smoking a little more than a rolled cigarette at the party. And the best part about it, when Seth talked to reporters about it he said that it was a "terrible case of I-wanna-smoke-weed-all-day". Bravo.

It's official!

School is starting! My fate is sealed. I think somewhere out there, the Devil is giggling like a Japanese schoolgirl. Just going back into the school building the other day, made me realize all the things I don't like about it. Mainly, annoying kids that go to said school, along with the atmosphere of the school. Which is, in short, school. They should have some way to make it seem like we are not in school so it does not suck so bad. Welllll, what can you do?

I recently came across this picture and I have no idea what I should think about it. I love the "baby Jesus" part, just because it makes me laugh whenever I think of the prayer that Ricky Bobby does in Talladega Nights. Ahhh funny stuff...

Clearly, the sign makes no sense whatsoever when it's taken out of context. Judging by the fonts and the colors used, you're definitely supposed to see it. Orphans and Jesus do make for a good sign but they took that a little too literally. The gentleman sitting in the chair holding the fish raises even more questions though.

One thing is for sure though: I am reserving "Sweet Baby Jesus and the Orphans" for a future band. I don't even know what kind of band it is yet, or if the band will even come to fruition. But, I do know that that will be our name. Yessssss...

Quickie

Just had to share this comic:



I love basically everything that references Schrödinger's Cat. I guess it's one of those nerdy things that I love. I don't even know exactly why I love it so much, but just that it's one of those scientific theories that really strikes a chord with me because it amazes me that someone even thought of that. That, along with it being referenced in my favorite web comic, totally made me giggle like a nerd. Which is of course nasally and whilst pushing up my classes.

And if you don't know what I'm talking about, here's something to edumucate yourself with.

Rants are fun!

School's coming up this week. It's a grim reminder that I need to sleep earlier and wake up even earlier. It really doesn't bother me all that much since I usually get sleepy around that time anyway, I just force my body to stay up later because I can get more things done when I stay up later. I don't even NEED to stay up, I just feel like I should because I have things that I want to do or keep doing such as watching my favorite TV shows on the internet, playing video games, playing guitar, or have 5 conversations going on at once with my friends. I usually do more things at night than I do during the day, I guess it's because I'm sensing the loss of time around then and I want to get more done before the day is over.

I have this love/hate relationship with school. I love learning new things, seeing my friends, making new friends, but, waking up early? Lame. Projects? Lame. Stupid people? Even lamer. There's just some people at school that I cannot stand to the nth degree. Those people being the ones who want to slack off and make the people who actually do their work, me, do it for them whenever there's a group project or they copy off of me since I finish way earlier than me. Now, I'm not saying I'm smarter than them. But if they would just apply themselves and actually try at school, they wouldn't have to copy off of me. Those same people are the ones that smart off to teachers because they want to look cool in front of their friends. Now, sometimes, the teachers do deserve it, but a majority of the time, the kids are just trying to be assholes. It really just wastes everyone's time because we just need to get our lesson over with and finish our work, instead of them bickering about not wanting to do the work because it's "stupid" or a "waste of time". Just suck it up and do the work you douchebag.

Okay, I'm done ranting.

Things of that sort

Well life as of late, has been quite rocky, to say the least. Things went sour between my lady and I and we had to go our separate ways. I apparently did not do anything wrong regardless of what I think. I still don't fully understand why things went bad. It was the kind of thing that you could only explain to people as: "Shit happens."

In other news, I've recently cut my hair. I like it but, you might think I don't like it if you saw me though. It's not that I don't like it, I just don't know what to do with it. It has too many possibilities that I can't even fathom what I want it to look like, so it kind of frustrates me. There's only two downsides to this haircut, if I style it the wrong way, from far away I look like a lesbian, and if I wear a beanie, I look like a cancer patient. It kind of reminds me of this quote from the movie Memento, "I'd rather be confused with a dead guy than a murderer."
