Things that Aren't Logical to me. At all. (Part II)

Okay people, it's been 6 days...Things that sadden me: Billie Joe Armstrong doesn't do his own guitar solos. No one has any idea how sad I was when I found out... The singer for Dragon Force sounds like the singer for Journey…. A lot of today's music isn't real people playing- it's synthesized. What happened to real people playing real music (actual instruments)? I'm not against it, I'm just saying... The original genre of music I like is going down the dumps. -__- It's like in 8th grade Coldplay kicked ass and now it suuuuuuuuucks. Among other bands, of course. Stupid certain person that "made the band great." I listen to a song 'til it's dead. I wish I didn't do that... : / People hide behind make up or clothes or something or anything and everything- all these excuses. (The fake-ness of all living things) Everything is built to only last a couple years (or months)...

The Power Of Six--Review ETC

Apparently, The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo wasn't my last review for the break. xD The Power of Six , by Pittacus Lore is the squeal to I am Number Four , which I thought would be better. The Power of Six was defiantly way better. Maybe it was because there was a lot of switching between stories. I suppose that's what keeps most people interested... pisses off people who just want two separate stories straight through with no interruption. This book gave me adventure dreams...but I don't remember them. xD I don't see anything exceptionally great or bad about this book, or the series so far...but to have six books? It's kind of much. Just a little... -------------Just cuz I don't have much for this "review:" Short hair VS. Long hair (lame, right?) • Short hair (shoulder length or shorter): Pros ○ Easy maintenance ○ Easy to comb/brush ○ Less hair to clog drains ○ Not in the way ○ Doesn't "shed" as much • Short hair: Cons...

The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo-- Review

Yesterday I finished the page turningly exciting book called, The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo , by Stieg Larsson. Seriously, that book was like eye food... my eyes ate up those words... seriously, my eyes were going from one sentence to the next like... something that goes real fast... That happened with other books too...but not as quickly. My uncle was right when he said I needed to just read that book because you get little information bits in random places in the story...and it's really really hard to stop reading this book. Either way, I took the book everywhere I went (just like every book I read, no matter how big it is) and I read it. The one thing I like about this book is that it has random spaces in the text to signal a subject change...or a stopping point for someone reading until 2am. But seriously... why rape scenes? Why do the main villains have to be serial rapists? When I read the first "rape" scene I was like: come onnnn... The second one I was like: E...

As Promised: A Review of Crossed (because everyone was looking forward to it)

So I only put up the Inheritance review a couple days ago. So what? I already finished Crossed , and have opened another book-- barely opened another book: The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo . Not because there is a movie out, but because my mom just happened to get it last Christmas and never finished it. Maybe I'll read it this Christmas and never finish it. Who knows? For the sake of reviewing, I'll start off with Matched first, since I didn't really go over that last summer: Matched . My stereotypical girl book: A journey (or sorts) with a romance. I always seem to find those types of books. This girl lives in an "advanced" place called The Society, where everything is calculated and predicted and all the type of thing. This girl named Cassia is going to be "matched" to a supposedly random dude and they will go through the stages of being "matched" and eventually help to keep The Society alive. When Cassia finds someone else's pictur...

A Thank You, and Inheritance Review!

 I would like to start off with a thank you to my 8th grade teacher. If it wasn't for him, I would not have started writing in my "Comments Journal" or this blog… that no one really reads… I doubt I would even be comfortable commenting on anything on this blog or anywhere if not for him. Soooo… THANK YOU! You have made a commenter/ writer out of me. Yesterday I finished reading Chris Paolini's Inheritance . It was probably the best book out of the whole series; I don't remember being so excited about a book from the series or liking another book from that series that much. Though the beginning of Inheritance was pretty boring, once I got past the boring siege of the place I forgot the name of, it got interesting. What I liked about this one is that Paolini goes back and forth between Eragon and Roran, then the Varden (and Eragon) and Roran, then Eragon and Nasuada, and so on. I think that was what kept me interested through the whole book: the switching back and...

My Thoughts on the Christmas Season...and Inheritance! ^__^

People that have talked to me know that the day before Thanksgiving, I complained about how they played Christmas music, even though it was really a month away (and every day after that. It's really annoying, and it's kind of killing the Christmas spirit for me. That's why I only listen to my grandpa's Christmas cd...and the various other ones we have at home. The least the radio stations and shops can do is not play Christmas music until the week before... geeeze. They're trying to kill me...even though I like Christmas music). It's like the commercialization of Christmas has changed everything. It has made people crazy about buying things on Black Friday and Cyber Monday and turned people into Christmas gift shopping maniacs. It has made Christmas all about the gifts, instead of the time that should be spent with family, as well as the time that the family should be celebrating Jesus's birth (Ionlyputthatpartinbecauseofmyreligion). Christmas has become so...

One Quarter Down... about... 15 more to go.

I had my last final today. It was Algebra. Like... high school algebra. Like.... a combo of Freshman year math, and Junior year math. Yeah, I'm dumb. Math 900. Remedial. My other two were on Monday and last Thursday. There's a tale about the Thursday one, but I don't think you guys are really that interested... cuz it's more of a "me tale." And I'm not counting Tuesday as a final cuz that was a BBQ...Oh well.... anywhoos... Many things have happened this first quarter of college (typed the h in high school. XD). I made it through my first quarter of college alive and with some pretty interesting friends (to say the least) and kinda wished some of  the old ones were still around (even though I was betrayed by some and am probably better off without those betrayers... and now I'm used to being without certain others). I've learned the ways of the college shuttle and BART (esp BART. omcheese.) and that the campus is like a rectangle. There are no sh...
