It took me 10 days of vigilant f'ing up, but I finally saw Be Kind Rewind and I've gotta say I was quite impressed with what I saw. It was just a little bit predictable, but in a good way if that makes any sense. As always (with the exception of The NeverEnding story III) Jack Black was highly enjoyable by being Jack Black and Mos Def flexed his acting muscles a bit and pulled off the leading man roll quite well (see what I did there?(could I count that as a pun)).
I put my iPod back to shuffle today. For the first 3 years I had my iPod it was always on shuffle, but I started picking up concept albums and albums that are meant to be listened to sequentially (Godspeed You, Sigur Ros, live albums) and for about 2months I was rocking out that way. I know it sounds a bit weird, but I wasn't as big of a fan of sequentially played music as I used to because I can distinctly remember hating it when a cd was set to random back in the day.
One last thing. I finally took a chance to look at my schedule for finals and found out that I'll be taking every last one of those bastards on Wednesday the 30th. Sweet

Don't Hop on the Fence
It's been one of those weekends. Everyone has had at least two or three every year and this was one of them for me. It wasn't a bad weekend (no minors or fist fights), but it wasn't really a stellar one though either.
I take that back. The weekend was just another weekend, but there were moments of greatness and moments of not so much awesomeness.
Awesomeness:
Friday and Saturday night I managed to have a good time and mingle either in the dorms or elsewhere and that was pretty fun. at one of said get-togethers I managed to find some dude who still had respect for Nirvana as much as I do. I know that when you look at their body of work it's quite simple, but it also seems like hating on them is the cool thing to do these days.
I found out about Aesop Rock. Aesop Rock is a rapper from Long Island and his rhymes are fucking sick. I've never been much of a hip-hop fan even in the loosest of definitions, but Aesop Rock transcends the genre in my opinion. Just check this video out and I'm sure you'll like it.
None Shall pass
Can you hear that flow?
Not So Much Awesomeness:
On friday night a group of D-bags decided to get shitty drunk and f up the 4th floor bathroom (my bathroom). I'm all for drinking in the dorms, but these guys decided to drink themselves silly and throw up irresponsibly. They vomited in two of the five sinks on the floor, in and around a urinal, and all over a toilet. Jesus Christ.
Not sure if this is or isn't awesomeness:
I decided to watch godfather pts. I & II Saturday afternoon. Giles had taken his DVD's back home so I ended up watching them on A&E which because of commercials added a whole lot of time onto the movie. I was watching them from 3:00 in the afternoon to 9:20 at night and was only halfway through pt. II. I guess it was cool watching the movies but I pissed away so much time while doing it... Damn.

Criminally Insane
So yeah, I had one of those "life afirming" moments the other day. In Bio Lab we're just getting to the brain and whatnot so when I showed up to lab wednesday I was expecting to work more on our fetal pigs (we named our pig "Jupiter" - he's the fuckin' king of the pigs now) and probably crack into their skull to check out what's going on inside there but I was wrong.
We showed up and our teacher, Janet, let us all know that we would be working with a real person's brain that they had donated to the school for use as kadavers and to be honest it didn't freak me out so much as just make me think deep for the first time in a while. When I was holding this person's brain, I realized that I was holding everything that this person was. This dude (or dudette) had a lifetime of memories and experiences that were all at one point held right there. He laughed, loved, probably ran from the cops all the while thinking about what would happen if he was caught and that was all controled by what was in my hands.
After class I just kind of walked around without a whole lot of direction or objective for about 10 minutes. Then I remembered that I had to study my ass off for a Spanish test so I went back to my dorm and grabbed all my stuff and headed to the library for one last hour of cramming for a subject I couldn't give a shit less about. I was down to a 15 minutes left to study and was tired as fuck so I did what any self respecting person does when they need to stay awake for just a little bit longer; I started listening to Slayer's Reign in Blood because nothing wakes me up like some uplifting music like that.
My time was up so I decided to pack up and head over to class to take that test and I was stopped by a group of three people who were conducting a survey and asked me to fill it out. To be honest I couldn't hear what they said at first because I was still listening to Reign in Blood so I had to take out my headphones and have them repeat what they had said and when they did I said sure why not.
The survey was just a single question, but with that single question I realized I was fucked in so many ways. The question read "What percent chance do you think you'll make it to heaven?" This was the question asked to me as I was listening to Slayer... shit.
By the way, I answered 45% but that was being a little bit generous.

Phoenix in Flight
It's been a pretty crazy week, but it's finally all over and time to start a new one so how about a recap.
I can rarely remember any of my dreams for some reason so I might remember one or two out of every three month span which I can't really complain with. That all changed though on Tuesday night when I managed to have a hell of a dream...
It all started on what I could only guess was a Friday night and I was in the dorms with some of my friends and we were all bored as hell and wanted something to do. Just then out of nowhere, Jungles came in the room and his face was just a massive grin as though he knew our predicament and wanted to help us out. He said that he knew a bad ass place to party and all we had to do was follow him so me being the drunk I am had no choice but to follow. We went downstairs to Grant Center (as low as you can go in the dorms) and we started snaking through a bunch of narrow hallways and soon enough we came to a dead end, but it wasn't a total dead end.
There was a little "John Malckovich" doorway and sure enough we all piled in after Jungles because we had gone too far to quit now, right? After about a minute of crawling, we come out in a basement and when I ask just where the fuck we are Jungles tells us that it's an old abandoned house in the middle of nowhere and that people come here all the time to party (it never occurred to me that a minute of crawling can only get me so far). Sure enough, the place was hopping and for being an old abandoned house managed to have a bad ass sound system playing Deltron 3030 all night with a pool table and hot tub in a few of the rooms. Needless to say the party was fucking awesome.
Well, it was awesome for a while. All of the sudden the front door opens and an old couple walk in the house carrying a bunch of luggage and bags and they look scared as hell. It turns out that it wasn't an abandoned house, rather it was a nice little house owned by a retired couple and they had been traveling Europe for the past winter and had decided to come home in the middle of a Friday night. Shit... There was complete pandemonium and everybody takes off booking in every direction and as this is all happening I trip on an empty 40 and smoke my head on a table.
By the time I wake up there are cops everywhere and I'm not just talking normal cops in blue, but SWAT along with a group dressed in riot gear. I noticed something that didn't seem odd at the time, but every single cop had an old school baton and were all twirling them at the same time. Weird, I know. Anyways the cops decide to royally fuck me and immediately cuff me as soon as I come to and they're asking me all these questions but they're talking way too fast for me to be able to answer a single one of them so they say "Fuck it, I guess you're excited to meet a soul mate in the Jail" and to my horror they start taking me to the back of a cop car.
Just as they're putting me into the back seat I see a helicopter land about 20 feet from me and I don't know what to think. Out of nowhere the Governor gets out of the helicopter and goes over to the cop that's arresting me and tells him to uncuff me. I'm confused as hell right now because this dude isn't Tim Pawlenty and I was sure for some reason that I was in Minnesota, but I didn't question it because I didn't want a B&E and minor on the same night. He told me to come over to him and he got really close to me and said "you get this one for free, kid. Next one and you won't be so lucky." All I remember thinking to myself was "are you fucking kidding me, that's it?" Whatever, I guess it makes sense.
In other news....
I'm getting really close to the 10,000 hit since I put the counter in and I've gotta be honest, I didn't expect to make it past 3,000 so thanks to whoever is reading this POS.
I'm planning on seeing "Be Kind Rewind" this week and I'm really excited about it. I've started watching fan-made sweaded films and I've gotta say I'm excited. Anybody else see this movie?
Any recommendations for random shit to listen to?

Or is it All Just Lunacy
I don't have a whole heck of a lot of time to do a half assed post like I usually do so I guess this'll have to do...
I finally filled up my iPod (30 GB) which was something I would never be able to pull off. It was actually a good thing because I was able to really look through my library and clean house on some shit that really didn't need to be there.
a sampling of albums that made it on the chopping block-
*Alter Bridge
*From Autumn to Ashes
*Audioslave (Revelations)
*most of Le Tigre
*Meshuggah (way too much for me right now)
*Revis
*The Wallflowers
I replaced them with Sigur Ros's Takk and Reign in Blood so I think I did the right thing.
I'm sorry about not getting to round two of the battle of the bands, but trust me, they'll make it up there. I'm just busy as fuck and let the greatness ferment.
I found this book the other day. I guess it makes sense that there is a book about this because I can imagine quite a few pitfalls associated with said action, but really dude? At least it's in paperback.
This one is for the kids in us all
Well, I might as well put this up too while I'm at it.
Instead of a set amount of Stiche dollars like most times, this will be a mystery box "500" style so good luck and pray I don't have a grudge against you.
Oh shit, I almost forgot about this gem. You all know my affinity for wikipedia (and in a different sense Conservapedia) but this takes the cake. Instead of trying in the slightest bit to be informative Uncyclopedia spoofs everything possible in a Wiki style. I highly recommend for everybody to check this out because it's the gift that keeps on giving because it's so fucking massive. Here are a couple to start you off. CLICK ME PLEASE - NO, CLICK ME
