So a major change is taking place in my life right now. A third roommate is moving in. For the past two years, it has been my best friend of nearly 12 years, myself, and his sister. However, his sister moved home around December of 2008. But even before that, she was barely here. So basically, for the last two years, it has been him and I. And we held it down. Never any drama. In fact, he helped me through a lot. The break up between myself and my girlfriend of just over three years, the divorce of my dad and stepmom, his first ever real relationship, it kind of goes on and on. We got into new shows together like The Office and Scrubs. However, this is starting to sound like we are splitting up, but we're not. The point I think i'm trying to make is it is easier to have that connection when it is just two people. I just don't know how a third roommate is going to work out. I mean, I have been friends with him for a few years, he isn't a stranger, but still. I just worry. It's what I do. Like we joked around the other day when we split a six dollar pizza together. They slice it up into ten pieces. We were like "what are we going to do with three people?" Haha
I had a text conversation the other day that went something like this:
Her: "Hey, I know you probably have plans, but we are having a 4th of July BBQ at my dad's if you want to come."
Me: "On the actual day, cuz I will probably be in Crestview"
Her: "Yea... I figured you would be..."
Those lil dot dot dots, it made me sit there and think. My greatest fault is that I over analyze way too much. And she got to me. Do I visit Crestview way too much? (For those new to the game, Crestview is where my sister and brother in law live). I asked a friend of mine today and he was like "who cares?" I guess that is the approach I take, but it just bothers me a little bit. I don't know why...
So some new things I am going to try out with this blog: Wordless Wednesdays and Flashback Friday. I have seen WW before, so I am pretty sure I get the concept. I only saw something about a FF on lovelila's word press account. Now, I don't know if this is an actual thing, or it's just something she does, but either way, I'm taking it, haha. I just found my old livejournal, so it should be fun.
And finally... I saw Transformers. I have to say, I was dissapointed. (now the blog title should make sense). If you haven't seen the movie, stop reading now as I will probably go into detail. I have only walked out of one movie in my entire life -- The Spirit -- but when Sam got up in the classroom and was making those weird noises and stuff, I swear I was ready to get up. The story was kind of all over the place, I had no idea who the characters were at times, and the cheesiness that worked in the first movie, in my humble opinion, was overplayed in this one. Maybe i am getting old (at 22, I sure hope not), but when a robot called a dude a pussy and the 5 and 6 year olds next to me were cracking up, I just felt slightly uncomfortable. I read a lot of stuff where Micheal Bay just blows stuff up, like that is what his whole movie is about. And they are right, there was stuff exploding in this movie for no reason. We were laughing, cuz at one point it looked like he had recycled footage from Pearl Harbor, another movie of his. And don't get me started on Megan Fox. As hot as she is, she was lame in this movie. And this is going to sound really weird coming from a guy, but when she smiled, she looked ugly haha. I don't know, maybe I just liked the bad ass chick from the first one, and not the "say you love me" from the second one. My last gripes are this: during the last battle scene, I was honestly confused -- I didn't know who were good guys and who were bad guys. And if Optimus Prime would have stayed dead, that would have been awesome. But as my friend pointed out, they took the "cookie cutter" route. Now, reading all that, you would think I hated that movie, but not really. I was just dissapointed after watching the first one. That's all
Edit: Actually that's not all, haha. I am a HUGE fan of The Office, and it sucked to me that Rainn Wilson was only in that movie for two minutes. And I am also a huge fan of the music and movie connection and I have to say it irritated me to hear "21 Guns" by Green Day played THREE TIMES! I like the song, but they could have played something different. Teasing the Linkin Park song was cool, but they killed Green Day by playing it a FOURTH time during the credits. Just my two cents.
I saw a trailer before the movie that I had seen before, but I find it funnier now. I realize it sounds weird to say you "know" somebody through blogging, but what the hell, I feel like I sorta "know" someone from Australia. It intrigues to learn about the music (shoutouts to Wolfmother) and the different langauge. Anyways, I feel little chuckles now when I see the trailer for Funny People and Seth Rogen "He is going to kill us, they are from Australia, that's what they do, they kill things there!" So I ask you, girl, is that what they do there? Haha, see for yourself:
Random lyric of the day:
Meet me in outerspace
We could spend the night, watch the earth come up
I've grown tired of that place, wont you come with me
We could start again

Thursday, June 25, 2009
We now return to our regularly scheduled blogging...
What a week. I feel like I have been tired for all of it. I have put a lot of time in the studio though - my "job" involves listening to the cds that different companies send us and see if they are good or not - and I have been taking care of that after slacking last week. But even last night, I went to bed sorta early and still felt really tired all week. Oh well.
First mini class is over. Well, it will be when I hand this project in tomorrow. The class was newspaper editing and design. We had to put together an entire front page and I was pretty happy to get a 93 on it. Then she handed us our average in the class and mine was an 89. I was like C'MON!!! So basically this thing I am turning in tomorrow is make or break. Let's hope to make it...
We were sposed to go see the midnight showing of Transformers on Tuesday. Apparently, everybody else wanted to also as when we got there it was sold out. Made another attempt the next night, but after spending three hours in the studio, I was kind of tired. When the person I was sposed to go with changed plans, I just chilled. Now the date is set for Saturday matinee (times are hard out here, haha).
Speaking of money, apparently I have less than what I thought. That's never a good thing. Looks like July is going to be a struggle month. But at less two trips to Crestview are in the works. Independence Day weekend and then UFC 100 featuring the Brock Lesnar fight. Can't wait for both of those.
And now, for my two cents:
Say what you want about Micheal Jackson, the man made some damn good music back in the day. I still jam out to him every now and then and I remember loving his song in Free Willy, haha. But the man, not the entertainer, was a dirty guy. Is this going to be about how he should be remembered? No, that is up to you. Everybody has an opinion and they are entitled to it. I just hope I don't offend anybody with mine, which is this: Nobody knew him, so why are there people saying they are sad and are going to cry? My friend said she turned on BET 106th and Park and people were balling in the audience. I just don't get it. I loved Heath Ledger as an actor, still do, but I didn't want to cry when he died. I didn't know him. The only time I came close to feeling sad when a celebrity died is when Eddie Guerrero passed away. Yes, I realize I am giving away that I am a wrestling fan, but his was actually sad. He was a man who was down on his luck at one point but he pulled himself together and got out of it. And that night, it showed all his friends on there balling, and tribute videos that yea it did get to me. But the man who brought us Thriller and stand up comedians an endless supply of jokes? While sad, it's not that emotional. Like I said, everybody is entitled to thier opinion, this is just mine. Maybe I should have put this more elegantly, or just plain better, but it's late, and like I said... tired all week.
Random lyric of the day:
So you stand on the corner
Where the angels sit
And you think to yourself,
"This is it, this is it
This is all that I have
All I can stand
Is this air in my lungs
And this coin in my hand"
That you tossed in the air
And I fell, and I fell
All the way to the bottom
Of the well, of the well
Like those soft little secrets
That you tell, that you tell
To yourself, when you think
No one's listening to, well

Drip drip drop there goes an eargasm
So I first off want to thank everybody that gave me ideas. Most made it in, some sadly did not. But there will be other shows :)
With that said, here is the entire show. All three hours of it. WAIT! Don't get intimidated, it's good I promise. But just to make sure, space it out. Listen to it while you are getting ready for work/school/going out/, while you are cleaning house, or while you read interesting stuff on the internet, like fmylife, texts from last night or these wonderful blogs. Use it as background, but I promise it's good. Just push play...
However, here are some notes about it:
*The file is pretty big (its three hours, remember), so you may have to press play and walk away, letting it load for a minute. Also, the sound is a little low. So if you turn it up and go to play something else, you will notice the different volume level.
*My roommate wasn't able to go in, so I went in during his show, so that's what the first 40 minutes is. The first track is just one where I pressed record to talk over. The second track is a chill track I used to go into a little Coldplay mix he put together. If you don't like mixes, just skip to the 41 minute mark and that's when my show officially starts. But trust me, it's a good mix.
*It is a college radio show, so while there are no commercials, we do have to play Public Service Announcements or PSA's. Hopefully they don't get too distracting.
So with that said, I'm pretty happy with how it turned out. If you listen to any of it, even like five minutes worth, tell me what you thought about. I leave you now with every band I managed to squeeze in there:
The Academy Is...
The Airborne Toxic Event
The Album Leaf
The All American Rejects
Anberlin
Angels & Airwaves
Band of Skulls
The Black Keys
Bloc Party
The Bravery
Cage the Elephant
Cake
Coldplay (30 minutes worth)
Cold War Kids
Death Cab for Cutie
Franz Ferdinand
The Fratellis
Green Day
Gym Class Heroes
Head Automatica
Incubus
Jack's Mannequin

The Kings of Leon

MGMT
Minus the Bear
Modest Mouse
New Found Glory
Pendulum
Peter, Bjorn, & John
The Shins
The Sounds

I got the mic and you got the moshpit
So I would like to welcome the new followers, and anyone else who saw me shamelessly promote this blog on the music group on 20something. It's a good one to start with, because I'm basically asking for feedback.
If you are new, then one thing to know about me is that I am a college radio DJ. This is only important when it gets close to Wednesdays (the day I go on) and especially when fall semester starts again. This summer is kind of lazy -- I have only done one show -- but in the fall when everyone comes back it should be interesting. One day, we took the camera in the studio and snapped this lovely pic:
Now, it looks like im singing or gettin ready to rap, but actually I was just trying to "look hard." All I do is introduce the music. And speaking of the music, this is where you guys come in.
My show is called "All Things Rock" because that's basically what I play -- all things in the genre of rock. I have literally played Coldplay and Underoath in the same show before. It's how I get down. Sometimes I have themes (in the past I have had acoustic shows, an all female show, and warped tour artists as examples). But tomorrow, I don't really have a theme. I was going to play a bunch of screamo because A Day To Remember and Chiodos tracks came to Rock Band, but I think I am going to wait till July when Warped Tour makes its way to Atlanta. So I need your help.
I usually have a group on facebook, but i'm trying to keep my facebook/myspace world separate from my blogspot world, so consider you guys my special group. In that group I ask for suggestions on what to play and what not. Well this week, I have the bands in mind. I just need your suggestions for songs.
The only song I know for sure I am going to play is Linkin Park's new song. If I go on after my roommate, I will play Are You In? by Incubus (explanation: my roommate is an actual DJ, with turntables and everything. He may or may not come in tomorrow. On a normal schedule, he goes on before I do, but we may move around tomorrow and he might go on after me). But those are the only two, I have locked. The following are bands I would like to play. Like I said, there is no theme to tomorrow's show, but I guess nothing too crazy or nothing way soft. Kind of in the middle. Only restriction: it has to fall under the category the umbrella of rock (meaning no hip hop and stuff) and that it has to be clean, or radio friendly. So here are the bands I have in mind:
Green Day (off their newest album)
Taking Back Sunday (also off newest album)
Yeah Yeah Yeahs (and also off newest album)
Franz Ferdinand
MGMT
Shiny Toy Guns
Kings of Leon
The Black Keys
Manchester Orchestra
Anberlin
Augustana
The Academy Is...
Jack's Mannequin
Cage the Elephant
All American Rejects
The Shins
White Stripes (or Raconteurs)
Cold War Kids
Toxic Airbourne Event
Gym Class Heroes
Head Automatica
The Hush Sound
The Killers
Minus the Bear
Pendulum
New Found Glory
Silversun Pickups
The Sounds
So there they are. I may play more bands than that, I may play less. I only have two hours. But if you could, offer suggestions on which song to play from 1 band, 3 bands, or all of them if you have the time. Suggest anybody else if you like, though if I don't already have them, I may not have time to get them. Tell your friends, your family, your dog to suggest. After all, this is going out to people, so why not have it be people suggested?
Oh, and if you wanna listen in, we stream online. Although i'm not sure what exact time I will go on, I know my roommate and I will be on air from 5-8, central time (if you hear some club type stuff, that means he is on). The link is at wegl.auburn.edu and just click on streaming.
Thanks ahead of time!

Is when Tim Burton's version of Alice in Wonderland comes out. And it can not come fast enough. With Johnny Depp, Anne Hathaway, and Helena Bomham Carter. And it's in 3D?????
I love it.
Enjoy.
I love it.
Enjoy.

You're my boy Blue!
There has been so much I have wanted to chat about since my last post. I think I am addicted to blogging. It's to the point where I watch a movie or listen to a CD and think to myself "I need to share my thoughts on this" So that's what I am about to do.
I watched Old School on Friday night/Saturday morning. That movie is a classic. I think this is like the 8th time I have seen it, but the first time in years. There are a lot of people that showed up in that movie that have gotten bigger since then. The girl from 21 was in there, one of the dudes that showed up in Coach Carter (the one that quit) was in there, and the chick from Grey's Anatomy was in there. And of course, it was one of Will Ferrell's first movies. But the star -- Vince Vaughn.
Little trivia: the same people that made Old School made The Hangover. There are similarities in the two. If you compare the main three characters -- Luke Wilson is the same as Ed Helms, Will Ferrell is the same as the dude with the beard (i'm too lazy to look it up), and Vince Vaughn is the same as Bradley Cooper. And yes, The Hangover was as funny as everybody made it out to be. The only thing I have to say is it started with Sarah Marshall, but it seems movies are pushing the envelope more and more these days. Full male nudity is apparently the new funny.
That was yesterday. I randomly drove to Crestview again. Got a lil drinky drink on, basically a part two to last weekend. I decided to go there because I was going to see my dad the next day, but he was kind of tired so we decided we would meet up this morning and I wanted something to do, so I just drove down to Crestview. And that's what we did. Late night Hamburger Helper (yum) and movie, then woke up early to meet my dad back in Alabama. His Father's Day consisted of me taking him to IHOP, going to see Star Trek, and then him beating me in miniature golf. Noteworthy events of the day: Star Trek was actually pretty good and I can't believe I lost to my dad in miniature golf. But in his nerdiness, he brought an actual putter to the course. I didn't stand a chance...
So I am still working on a couple blogs -- a review of the concert(s) with pics and a major music blog. I hope everybody reading this will enjoy them but for now let me take care of some business...
jeanette from Cooler Ranch of Nacho Cheese? tagged me for the Honest Scrap Award. The rules for this award are to tell your readers 10 things about you that are true, that they might not know. Then you have to tag 10 other bloggers to do the same.
*these are just off the top of my head:
1)my username (Mr. O) is not some cool name I go by, it is actually my initials, it just kind of worked out that way
2)my roommate and I once watched an entire season of scrubs (maybe season 2?) in one weekend
3)I have two younger brothers; that are my half brothers; that are twins; that are japanese
4)I've probably only read maybe 10 or 15 books in my life. Over half of them are wrestler autobiographies. Yep, I just went there.
5)I have been saying since 2006 that I want to learn the piano. I just started a month ago.
6)I am a very heterosexual man, but I still consider Brokeback Mountain to be a damn good movie]
7)Speaking of my possible gayness, I believe I have a man crush on Johnny Depp
8)I have been friends with my best friend since around ninth grade. Before that time, she couldn't stand me, though we had never really had a conversation.
9)In the span of three days, I walked on the Grand Canyon and the Golden Gate Bridge
10)The first concert I ever attended? Creed.
And now here comes the fun part. And this makes me happy because I actually have ten people to tag :)
*note: some of these people I may have commented on once or twice, or got commented on once or twice, but I am willing (and am going to) change that. Hopefully starting with this post...
1)this is me; consequently
2)What if?
3)Where the hell do I go from here?
4)Meme Love
5)Lil Miss Tabs
6)What Do You Say
7)The Caped Tirader!
8)Deeply Problematic
9)Uberly Ecstatic
10)Southern Domestic Goddess
*note to the girl: I would have tagged you, but I am guessing this is what your blog post was about. I think. Otherwise, you know you would have gotten a tag ;)
So here is what's going on for the week: Project due tomorrow, new one due at the end of the week, and a trip to Tuscaloosa at the end of the week. Let's do this!
Random lyric of the day:
But I often wondered just how deep I could
Sink my teeth into that crease on your arm
The place where all the good times,
They grow and grow.
Would it taste the same, the same for me?
Yeah, would it sound the same coming from me?
Such an awful tearing sound.

1)my username (Mr. O) is not some cool name I go by, it is actually my initials, it just kind of worked out that way
2)my roommate and I once watched an entire season of scrubs (maybe season 2?) in one weekend
3)I have two younger brothers; that are my half brothers; that are twins; that are japanese
4)I've probably only read maybe 10 or 15 books in my life. Over half of them are wrestler autobiographies. Yep, I just went there.
5)I have been saying since 2006 that I want to learn the piano. I just started a month ago.
6)I am a very heterosexual man, but I still consider Brokeback Mountain to be a damn good movie]
7)Speaking of my possible gayness, I believe I have a man crush on Johnny Depp
8)I have been friends with my best friend since around ninth grade. Before that time, she couldn't stand me, though we had never really had a conversation.
9)In the span of three days, I walked on the Grand Canyon and the Golden Gate Bridge
10)The first concert I ever attended? Creed.
And now here comes the fun part. And this makes me happy because I actually have ten people to tag :)
*note: some of these people I may have commented on once or twice, or got commented on once or twice, but I am willing (and am going to) change that. Hopefully starting with this post...
1)this is me; consequently
2)What if?
3)Where the hell do I go from here?
4)Meme Love
5)Lil Miss Tabs
6)What Do You Say
7)The Caped Tirader!
8)Deeply Problematic
9)Uberly Ecstatic
10)Southern Domestic Goddess
*note to the girl: I would have tagged you, but I am guessing this is what your blog post was about. I think. Otherwise, you know you would have gotten a tag ;)
So here is what's going on for the week: Project due tomorrow, new one due at the end of the week, and a trip to Tuscaloosa at the end of the week. Let's do this!
Random lyric of the day:
But I often wondered just how deep I could
Sink my teeth into that crease on your arm
The place where all the good times,
They grow and grow.
Would it taste the same, the same for me?
Yeah, would it sound the same coming from me?
Such an awful tearing sound.

Lapse
So the concert tonight was... interesting, adventurous, and a time I won't forget. Were there awesome times? Of course. Were there times that weren't so awesome? Unfortunately, yes. So while my partner in crime on this night gets the pictures and stuff ready, I will wait to post a "review" or whatever about it.
While you wait (cuz I know you are), check out this song. It was by the opening band, Envy On The Coast. This song is slow, but it's like one of their only slow songs that they unfortunately did not play tonight. They rocked real hard though (that sounded kinda lame) and they were some of the coolest guys ever. I recognized the singer near the end of the TBS set, and I asked for a picture to which his response was "of course man." So anyways, if you have seen my quote on my profile page, this is the song that it comes from. I swear if I could, I would get that line tattooed.
Warning: This song would fall under the category of "deep."
The road turned into a snake
It looked in my veins and said
"It's in your blood"
That's when I tried to run
But it was way to dark
Got scared, and ran into your arms
Oh sweet chemical predicament
Can't stop, can't change the evident
Predisposed to forget the best part
A story where the hero dies without regard
Made sure that the needle was clean
When I let myself fall asleep
And all I kept was a piece of your picture
Slipped through my fingers when I slid into my dreams
It's not as deep as it seems
And as unfair as it may be
I'm just here to remind you
Remind you not to forget to remember me
I know you know how it feels to make a clean break
My bones are your bones
My home is your home
You must be, so confused
Got scared and ran away from you
Oh sweet divine predicament
Can't hide I can't change the evident
I'm predisposed to trust a photograph
To portray the way you used to laugh
Do you recall the day you wed?
Such a radiant bride, you couldn't wait to see
Your first born take his very first step
And you smiled at him, 'cause you thought he looked like
Me, it's not as deep as it seems
And as unfair as it may be
I'm just here to remind you
Remind you not to forget to remember me
Now I've dodged your questions so much
I don't possess the strength
To answer straight
And no, I'm not afraid, at least not to die
I'm afraid to live and not remember why
Sweet chemical indifference, I can't stop
Can't change the evident
Predisposed to perpetual sickness
I refuse to let you all be witness
Make sure that the needle is clean when
You let me go back to sleep
And situate the piece of the picture
Underneath my fingers it protects me in my dreams
It's not as deep as it seems
And as unfair as it may be
I'm just here to remind you
Remind you not to forget to remember me
