My horribly awesome video

15 Minutes of Fame

I had a brush with internet fame-dome.
I was at my writing class and this girl goes "HEY! You were in that video!".
Puzzled, I asked her what she was talking about.
She told me she had seen me in a fan made Same Blood video. I was shocked.
I seriously thought that was on private.
Turns out it has 626 views...
Oops.

I was also sort of recognized by TAI LJers at the last TAI headlining tour stop in MN

It felt so cool!

Friend of Mine

Gee thanks.
I try you know.
I really do.
Am I not cool enough for you?
I love how you blame me for everything.
Maybe you don't realize it.
But I do.
You turned you thinking that I feel bad and me saying that I don't into "You don't appreciate me!"

Enough of that.

I'm not here to attack.

I miss being your friend.
I know I'm not anymore.
I want to know what the hell happened.
I know I tried to do my part.
I'm worried about you.
We all are.

Yet.

You annoy me.
You are like the horrible, more likable, evil twin.
You take what I want to do and do it (And half ass it (to me)).
People LOVE you for it.
Yet when I did it (which I don't anymore) no one cared.

You are why I can't bring myself to do some of my favorite things.
My gadgets sit at rest.
I loved what I did.
Now, people only think of you.

I hate you for making it look like I copied you.
I hate you for stealing my hobbies.

Yet

I love you for being there.
I love you for all the fun that we had.

I miss you.

Wow

I almost cried watching The Who play on the Rock Honors.
It was weird. Maybe it was just hormones.
To think, that their music has lasted so long and still resonates with teens everywhere.
You look at these 2 older men on stage singing these songs that you can only picture a young band performing and you think "How well they must know each other".
After all that time of existing in the same frame of mind you have to have some sort of weird ESP.
It's something I could only dream of.
Being in a band and being able to exist successfully for so many years.
I could only think of how hard it must be to play these songs when 2 original members have died. It must be like losing a limb. This person you have known for so long and put yourself out on a line for so many times an made music with just gone.

For these reasons I felt myself just start sobbing.

The World Died Today.

Panic at the Disco 's "Nine in the Afternoon" is going to be on Rock Band 2. OFFICIALLY!

A small part of me died knowing that I will be FORCED to play that song to finish the game.

I hate life.

I hate PATD.

They ruined my favorite game.

"Picture Perfect Wannabe"

I could tell you about my day but that would be boring.
It was un-amazing. It was funny and fun. It's stuff that honestly doesn't need to be published for others to read.

I suppose blogging is like a public journal. It just seems like such a waste just to write about a day. Who wants to read that? Sure your friends do, maybe, possibly. Why waste cyberspace though?

Today I will bitch though because I feel particularly bitchy.

I really hate Panic at the Disco at the moment. They are so damn catchy yet supremely annoying sort of like "Dirty Little Secret" by All-American Rejects. Except Panic are worse. I have been listening to The Beatles ever since I was 3 (or 4, I can't quite separate memories from those ages). I don't get how Panic can BLATANTLY rip off some of the greatest Beatles tunes and get away with it. It angers me so much. The people let them off the hook. Obviously they haven't listened to more Beatles then "Yellow Submarine" or what's in "Across The Universe" (I still take issue with the lead girl's name being Lucy) if at all!
I know, many bands use similar chord progressions and try to emulate sounds of their favorite bands. This has been going on forever. Look at Mozart! EVERYONE wanted to copy him. How can anyone blame them though. He was highly successful.
I feel like I've been born in the wrong time. Nothing progressive is happening in music. How can anything more progressive happen with music after the 80's? It's POST EVERYTHING now. Yes there is a progression of marketing music and putting your band out there but nothing to the MUSIC. I hate the way music is so much about money now. What happened to when bands and people just wanted to hear something great happen? What happened to people just coming together and jamming in a garage?

Why are people so obsessed with "making it". What the hell is "making it" anyway? Is it 3 million copies of your record selling? Is it selling out an arena tour? Is it just making enough money to fill your gas tank and stomach so you and your friends can continue to try and change lives?

We need a revolution. Look at how we show distaste of a person place or thing! We "unfriend" them or "digg up/down" the fucker! Oh yeah! That'll show them! We are so afraid of offending someone. I think that's offensive. If you try and please everyone, you'll please no one. Someone is always going to be offended. That's life.

I'm done ranting.
