There's nothing left to say...

I guess...

2010-06-22T13:00:00.000-07:00

It's been a while since I've posted. And all I have to say is that I'm sorry because I'm using tumblr to annoy people. Haha. But honestly, I have nothing to say. I've been drawing again. School is over. Summer now. My nephew is coming from Texas. His birthday is coming up. And I'm excited for Avenged Sevenfold's new album, Nightmare. But I am REALLY bummed I can't go to Comic Con. It's one of my fave places to go! So yeah. Nothing very special happening to me, to my dismay. :( Until September of course. When I go to the Rockstar Uproar festival!
Be seeing you...

WOOOOO!

2010-05-03T22:15:00.000-07:00

This is called Good News.

AVENGED SEVENFOLD. Along with their website going live, they have announced that they will be playing in the Rockstar UPROAR Festival. It's super amazing to hear they are going to play a whole festival and do what they love. And of course it is of great importance to me that I see them perform. Them being an great band with so much excruciatingly amazing talent, it's of grave importance they just go out there and be the rock stars they are. They are stopping near me in San Diego, so I figure I'll just go to that gig. and I know the venue like the back of my damn hand so it'll be cool! And considering they'll be many bands there, it seems like an awesome experience. Tickets go on sale on Saturday, June 12. And the festival starts on August 18th!

Follow them on twitter and Facebook for a chance to win a pair of two VIP tickets.

And I am not getting paid to promote, but I am just really excited. :)

Seriously!

2010-04-29T16:11:00.000-07:00

WHO CAN'T BE EXCITED ABOUT THIS?

Farewell.

2010-04-11T17:08:00.000-07:00

Farewell to some decent friends. Worthy soldiers. My converse.
I got these shoes around the time I got my glasses, [a year ago+ a few months].
These shoes have gone over some great and awful terrain. These shoes have protected and somewhat killed my feet. They have delayed me changing in Phys. Ed due to their laces and design. But some memorable experiences were what it's been through.

First off, my first [and second] Avenged Sevenfold concert.

Ah, the glory days. When they were new, and I had just bought them the most worthy accessory, yellow shoe laces.

[Taken before the concert started.]
I showed off my new shoes and wore them til there was no tomorrow.
I went to the movies several times which led to some odd moments and sometimes led to me running in the empty lot next to the gas station. And after while I decided to get new laces. A pair of red and of yellow, but I never installed them.

In May my family and I went to San Francisco. One of my favorite places on earth.

Spent time with family had some good laughs. Walked in AT&T Park where my cousin's graduation was held and watched a movie with a whole lotta family.

Then came along the summer, where it took me running through Las Vegas.

The city of lights. The Strip.

I walked and I ran around Sin City, enjoying the promises of youth and vitality.

But June quickly flew by. And it was July. Comic-Con.
I met some of my favorite people.

But I tired my feet out so much I couldn't go on Saturday.

[So I ended up spending the day with my cousin and looking at stuff.]

All to blame were my blasted feet and shoes.

But I trekked back on Sunday and enjoyed the great times SDCC can bring.

I even got tickets to an MCR concert. A secret show in a club called The Roxy in LA. That was an unforgettable experience.

August. Last times with my friends without school in the way.

Eventually I was in school. And everyday, I put on those Chuck Taylor hi-tops and looked at them admirably.

In September, the day before my birthday, I installed the new pair of yellow laces and continued with my daily doings.

October was another tip to Vegas. An eventful weekend. We went to a party and I got bored and changed heels to the shoes and a dress to an MCR shirt and jeans.

December came and I went to SJ by myself.

Stayed with my friend and stepped in rain puddles. My first hockey game too.

And with the trip home, trip back, it was exerting.

January, I went to the beach for a bit with my sisters, mom and nephew. It was their last day in California.

And in those Converse, I ran around and jumped in the sand in a white shirt and jeans.

That day was pure bliss. I even let the shoes get caught by a wave.

Later that month I went to the SD Zoo with my friend.

'Twas a tiring day, but so much fun. We had some French dudes follow us and a plethora of hilarious sightings.

The animals were gorgeous, as was the place.

February. MESA day. I won my very first medal that day. I ran around in my purple pants and the shoes all day. And finally, when they called our names for second place in the math competition, it was just perfect.

March was the last time I used them. I volunteered in a rock climbing wall and it was great. I learned how to use a bow and arrow.

Plus I got a really bad sunburn.

And this is where the tale of the shoes ends.
Unfortunately, my ventures took a toll on my shoes. They were becoming worn and I decided to switch to some shoes I had gotten the same day I got the Converse to let them rest. They have been restored to their 1st laces where they sit in my room, remembering all their adventures in the Golden Year.

Somewhat of a review of: Clash of the Titans

2010-04-09T21:23:00.000-07:00

MY SUMMARY [You can skip this.]

LOL. Sorry. I was just recovering from all the jokes my sisters were making during this movie.This will not be my typical movie review because I guess this movie gets special treatment, unlike all the other movies. I write those weeks after seeing them. Haha.

In a serious stance, this movie was awesome. With probably 40% less CGI than Avatar too. And I am not only saying this because Sean Avery in disguise was in this. It's also because even by knowing this movie had to do with the simple phrase "Release the Kracken", you know there's gonna be a good amount of CGI. Enough with it though.

Anyway, I must warn that I will vaguely explain what happened, but this will just be for the use of explaining how things are. Got it?

Okay, this movie starts out how most, "I don't know who my parents are" movies begin with: a fisherman on a boat finds a box with a child. And as the story progresses, you see in about 20 years [the first 10 or 20 min] the baby becomes a man named Perseus who apparently likes a normal life. So they come across some people who totally knock down a big ass statue of Zeus. And like every movie, something dramatic has to happen, but I'll leave it to you to see the movie and find out.
Then there comes a scene that was a reunion of Schindler's List. They're the Gods. Apparently Zeus is a super-loving god and Hades is like "Dude, these people are totally going against us, we have to punish them, we're the ones who created them anyway." Zeus, not being very loving, lets Voldemort take over.

So Perseus gets taken to this city where there are a king and queen and princess plus some guy who thinks he's Mohammad. The king is like, "Let's go against the gods. They need our prayers. Let the era of Man begin!"
The queen runs her mouth and is like, "My daughter's more beautiful than Aphrodite." [And we all know that's a oh-no-she-didn't kind if thing to say.] So like they come and terrorize crap and Hades tells everyone that the people must sacrifice the princess to the Kracken. Perseus is found out as the son of Zeus and then eventually he's like, "Okay fine let's kill this Kracken." So then this random stalker lady who never gets old comes to him and tells him she's been watching him all his life. So there are about 8 people with him to go to some witches to find out how to get rid of the Kracken. The main guy looks kinda like The Rock. One is skinny with big eyes. And various others.
Perseus finds a sword that was very much like a light-saber (a gift from Zeus) and doesn't want it 'cause he wants to fight "as a man". Perseus sees some pegasuses? ~~Pegasai?~~ [I don't know the plural form of pegasus.] They like him, and then some random black one [it had to be black. lol] comes, but then a slave-creep of ~~Voldemort~~ ~~Amon Goeth~~ Hades comes and the wimpy horse-with-wings flies away and leaves Perseus to die.
They end up in the desert and some big scorpions come. [my sister made a smart reference to The Scorpion King]. People die. Then some weird rock people help and they go to some witched with a weird eye crap 'cause they have no eyes. They tell him he has to get Medusa.
And to make things short, Zeus is rejected by his son, but gives him a coin for Charon. The stalker lady leads them to the Underworld and yep. Oh,, and that chick and he are like making a move on each other but then a funny scene follows.
[NOTE: Persues uses the word "bitch", which I thought was amusing. But then it left me thinking, Did people really curse like that? But my sister was like, "They put a modern take on it."]

Voldemort pretty much wants to back-stab Zeus. And then events ensue.
They go to Medusa and I guess the people making the movie realized they didn't need any of the characters. The Rock finally smiles and gets turned to stone. Perseus goes out alone with Medusa's head and sees the stalker chick and she gets stabbed by that thing that scared the Pegasus away. She wisps away and the wimpy horse comes.
So the people of the city are like "SACRIFICE THE PRINCESS" and they tie her up like Naomi Watts in King Kong.
And whoop-did-ee-do, Zeus is like "Release the Kracken" a good 1 and 40 minutes into the movie.
Of course, Perseus gits rid of the Kracken [looks like my dog, Olive] and the princess is pretty much telling him to stay and marry her, but he says no. [Probably 'cause she wanted him to get drunk the day they met.]
Perseus just stays where the first part of the movie is and then Zeus brings him a present.

NOW ONTO THE GOOD STUFF

Clash of the Titans was a visual feat. The CGI was awesome, story easy to follow, and more.

The acting was great, even though some characters were ughhh. I think Sam Worthington really showed that he can be diverse, because I am sure like me, someone has to be tired of all this Avatar crap. Plus, it wasn't really an eye-candy film [thank Bob] so aka there were no shirtless scenes, so it just redeems Sam as a serious actor. The other actor playing the gods, were very good at their roles and gave some wonderful support to the movie. It has a tinge of other movies, but not too noticeable. It puts a twist on the two Gods you thought you knew.
And I guess the costume design was a bit too realistic, 'cause you can see every male actor's thigh. mmhmm.
Another note I have to make is on the backgrounds. They were beautiful! Gosh. That's all I have to say.
Anyway, it was a great movie about the adventures of a demi-god who saved the human race. Definitely a great film. It wasn't mind-blowing of course [it would need more hype]. I don't wanna keep typing the same thing over and over, so just watch it. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

I AM SO DAMN SORE.

2010-03-27T22:09:00.000-07:00

Crazy time. Obviously I am NOT gonna post the movie reviews. I cannot find the "time" or in other words, HELL NO TOO LATE I AM TOO LAZY.
Today, I worked my ass off at a rock wall. I loved it, but it had a crappy after math as I feel I have carpal-tunnel and my arms are like a plate full of jello. I am going against my body to even type this right now. Things have been hectic lately and I have made it one of my life goals today to incorporate young people into my [planned] career of working in a recording studio as an audio engineer. Children deserve to learn what interests them, and sometimes social status and money problems and other stuff prevents someone from being who they want to be. And I could never do what I wanted to do. I wanted to learn how to play piano and play the guitar. But I never did. I enjoyed helping younger kids rock climb and supporting them into finishing climbing the whole wall and trying their best. Although some children can be complete assholes, still. I think there is a way it could be changed. By good and memorable experiences. And being in MESA, loving music, and Girl Scouts has helped me in experiencing awesome things that I could never do.
So yeah. I'm done. I am no longer inspired to write anything. Bye bye.

Dear John - Movie Review

2010-02-17T17:59:00.000-08:00

I had no idea what this movie was about until I actually saw it and my sisters gave me a qiuck plot run down before entering the theatre.

The movie was very sad, but it seemed to drag on for a while. But an epic sadness as a guy in the army falls in love with a girl named Savannah, after he is shot and is put on leave for a couple of weeks. In those couple of weeks they seem to bond a lot I guess, because they fall in love [duh]. So he goes back and then, September 11th. He realizes it's his duty to fight for his country, but he dearly loves Savannah. He's caught between two things and doesn't know which to choose.

That was a very strong element, choices. It was a bit like "Seize the Day" by Avenged Sevenfold. Not the video, but the whole story. It was a big impact on one, as we all make choices in life that have a chain reaction.
The movie, although focused on the romance between the young couple, is sad for something along some other lines. [I am NOT giving up that detail.] So much misunderstanding ensues and people are miserable. I know this review isn't helping, but this gave me mixed feelings. I hated Savannah's character towards the end. But hey, that's my opinion. It was a nice movie but too teary-eyed-ness and the plot wasn't so great. It was as if someone wrote it, but decided to just change it completely. I haven't read the book or anything, but that's just what I really didn't get from the MOVIE. :P Ha.
Nice movie, but too long for the plot itself. It feels like one of those things that kinda leaves you like, "Whaaaa?" But is not totally unenjoyable. I dunno I had some mixed feelings, but I'd watch it again.

Rating: 4.2 out of 5

Exciting, yet sad at the same time

2010-02-17T17:44:00.000-08:00

I want our fans to know that with Jimmy in our hearts, our journey to record has officially began. Jimmy helped leave this world an amazing gift and now it's our job to make sure to deliver that gift to our fans. We asked Jimmy's all time favorite drummer Mike Portnoy to record on behalf of him. Mike said it would be an honor and without question that’s what Jim would have wanted. Its comforting to us that someone like Mike, who is undoubtedly revered as one of the best drummers in the world, held such respect and adoration for the Rev's abilities. Even though it will never be the same without our brother by our side, his essence lives in our hearts and through the music he helped create. He was a legend before any of the success or any of that bullshit and we are fucking excited to lay this down for our fans, and especially for Jimmy.
-Avenged Sevenfold

I saw this post by Avenged Sevenfold and I realize moving forward will MAKE me accept that The Rev is gone. I watch videos of Jimmy and I can't really believe he's gone. I am so happy that the record is going to be recorded, but no Jimmy. No more. No more Jimmy on tour. No more. How can this be? It's like a problem that cannot be fixed. But I hope with A7X moving forward in their music, we as fans of A7X can also move on. Also very impressed. Mike P. on drums for Jimmy? Awesome. Although he is no Rev, this legend is getting the job done. I don't think there is any other drummer best for the job. :)

Legion - Movie Review

2010-01-24T01:21:00.000-08:00

I am gonna be blunt: THIS MOVIE BLEW MY MIND!

This was a movie that caught my attention, but not my interest. I didn't know what the plot was. Like, "wtf God wants to punish us for...? And why are the angels using guns and knives and crap?"

The trailer with the old lady was plain cheesy to me. And I just scoffed plainly at the ridiculousness of the situation.

My mindless wanderings... Yes.
But if anyone was willing to go and wanted me to go as well I was all for it. I can't pass up a movie that catches some sort of attention.

Back to the movie.

This was a movie that caused a stir of almost every emotion you have felt. It had an element of horror, action, sad movie-ness, romance [sorta but not really]. I never had seen a movie before like this. I was on the edge of my seat every minute. The quiet scenes were even scary. Was this one of those parts where something jumps out.
Legion makes you scared of small children, ice cream truck tunes, old ladies, and much more.

There was somewhat of religious background, but it doesn't really help it or cut it down. It more toggles the true meaning of mercy and love.

Paul Bettany [pictured above] was a mofo-ing badass in this. His character is amazing. With the inked body, way of speaking, and x number of guns, and the actors who played Charlie and Jeep, it was impossible not to notice how very well cast this was. It was something [as I've said before] that brought so many great performances out of everyone.

So many guns and shooting and wow! The action was [although unbelievable] amazing.
Dialogue was very well-written.

And also, I must mention the crazy ass possessed people! You just have to watch for that. It's crazy.

The plot was always in a climax and never stops. Of course, until the end. I really can't say a lot without giving anything away.

But I will say this: GABRIEL IS EVILLLL!!! [okay, yes but no.]

I recommend you see this. Not for the scaredy cats.
I give this movie a 4.8 out of 5

Leap Year - Movie Review

2010-01-24T01:03:00.000-08:00

Wow. Well, I should just begin with this:
I saw this movie the day I saw Sherlock Holmes, but I don't have much time to blog too much and I was just being lazy, so I never posted this review. But now's the time.

Second, I am a sucker for romance movies. So this is somewhat biased. Like every other review. ['Cause I love all the movies I go watch. You think I am gonna go watch a crappy movie? No!]

Next up, I loved this movie. It was so nice and cute. Not only was an awesome romantic comedy, it has this very important element that some people don't pay attention to. What is most important to you? When it comes to people, will the person you love love you as much as you want them to? Will they choose you over petty objects?

The acting was great. And I didn't even notice that guy was Matt Goode, who was in Watchmen. Jeez Louise, he looked different!

Anyhow, Amy Adams is really awesome in this movie. It's all about luck and superstitions. Things take the wrong turn and she of course, after many turns of events, she realizes what she really wants. There's really not much to say other than that. Just watch it, it's cute and entertaining. Haha. Of course it's a bit of an obvious movie, but hey, aren't most movies?

Sherlock Holmes - Movie Review

2010-01-12T13:07:00.000-08:00

Sherlock Holmes was genius. I don't think I'd ever go to a movie I think would suck. I never read the synopsis or saw who was in it or anything. I just went to the movie.
But here's the synopsis anyway:

After finally catching serial killer and occult "sorcerer" Lord Blackwood, legendary sleuth Sherlock Holmes [Downey Jr.] and his assistant Dr. Watson [Law] can close yet another successful case. But when Blackwood mysteriously returns from the grave and resumes his killing spree, Holmes must take up the hunt once again. Contending with his partner's new fiancée and the dimwitted head of Scotland Yard, the dauntless detective must unravel the clues that will lead him into a twisted web of murder, deceit, and black magic - and the deadly embrace of temptress Irene Adler.

Anyway, the plot is a bit hard to follow at first, but over some, twenty or thirty minutes, you begin to understand what the hell is going on. You are thrown right into the world of Sherlock Holmes. The acting, stunts, and camera work was wonderful.

And the smart dialogue also helped this movie a whole lot. Funny and exciting. It was hard NOT to watch. With some bone crunching fast motion and live action footage, you get a taste of how smart Holmes really is.
Some actors to me were unrecognizable. [Like Jude Law.]

I seriously had no idea he was in the movie until I walked out of the theatre and saw the posters. I did notice Rachael McAdams though. She's very easy to spot.

The acting, in my opinion, was superb and brought out great performances from everyone involved.

Costume design was very realistic, as was the set even though it did look pretty fake, the whole look to it was pretty damn amazing. Everything in the movie just fit and meshed very well.

The story line was exciting and a bit hard to catch how I said earlier, but everything comes into place towards the end. Some parts were a bit like watching a more eye-friendly Saw movie. Plus, they have a psycho weird-ass villain, that's nothing like Jigsaw.

And the movie in general is so well done!
You are left with a awesome cliffhanger which for the sake of my curiosity, I hope they make a sequel. I know this review made no sense, so I just suggest you watch the movie. It won't disappoint.

Rating: 4.3 out of 5 stars.

Can you spell, U-S-A?

2010-01-05T22:33:00.000-08:00

[isn't this adorable?]
We won over Canada!!!! AWESOME!
I always wondered about the pride people have for their country. And obviously or generally, Canadians are better at hockey than Americans. So we sure showed them in the IIHF World Junior Championships. And well the US beat Canada for the Gold tonight, so it's an epic win. I love my country as a whole.
Seriously it's not likely I'll love any other country more than mine. Full of so many things. I realized that yesterday while at the beach. I stared at the beautiful waves and while on the plane to SJ. I saw green mountains and gorgeous scenery. I can't believe there can be something more beautiful than pure bliss and the beauty of the place I live in. Amazing.
I was rooting for Team USA to win since the beginning of the championship. Even though the Europeans and Canada have an advantage no matter what. And it's awesome to have them win after my marvelous epiphany. And in seeing the picture above, I feel happiness in the people I share a country with. And I feel grateful and nice and it's just awesome badassery! So yeah! Hopefully the (Men's Hockey) Team USA does a good job in the Olympics in Vancouver. :)
Our juniors played an amazing game.

James "The Rev" Sullivan

2009-12-29T20:59:00.000-08:00

James Owen Sullivan. The Reverend Tholomew Plague. The Rev.

Found dead on December 28th, 2009.
The amazing and talented drummer of my my favorite band, Avenged Sevenfold. He was funny, crazy, so full of life and pure awesome-ness. He was someone "everybody liked" as said my Matt Sanders [M. Shadows], A life cut short. But how? The details are undisclosed. I find it heartbreaking and terrible. A man who wrote great songs and performed so well. And was a person I looked up to. A man so talented and great. His death seemed a joke. A cruel joke. But it was to be. And when I read this on my phone as the @TheOfficialA7X sent out a tweet that read:

It is with great sadness and heavy hearts that we tell you of the passing today of “The Rev” - http://bit.ly/4DaRGd

I was shocked. I took my friend's sister's computer away and checked. The Rev. James. Jimmy. Dead.

So I just wanted to say, that I never thought that a guy so young and great would die. Whatever it was, damn it. It's a great loss and leaves an empty hole in each of our hearts. My condolences go out to Matt, Johnny, Zacky, Brian, James' friends and family. I didn't know him personally, and I am very devastated, I can't imagine his loved ones.

I don't know what will happen due to this loss, but I hope it all goes smoothly. I wish that he hadn't even been close to the brink of death or anything. Of course. I don't know what to say really. But I just wanted to express how I feel, but I guess it's not working because I am speechless and confused. I still cannot believe he is gone.
I really can't be very happy right now. Even if I am in SJ. I find it harder to cope with this when I am not home. I am glad, at least, that I got to see him perform before this. But the dream is lost that I shall even see him up close and say, "Hi, you rock. You're awesome." I'll never meet him. The people who have never seen him live will never get the chance. It hurts to say this. And now, I am just thinking "Why him?" He was so crazy and awesome and energetic.

He was so young and full of life and now he's gone.

Rest In Peace, James.

looks NOTHING like this. [The actual #19 of the Washington Capitals, Nicklas Backstrom]

Backie is a boyish blond Swede and the video game version looks like a manly tough guy who is totally not the Nicklas Backstrom on my fave team. He's even on the Swedish cover of NHL 10. So... yeah. What the hell.

Seize the Day

2009-12-08T21:18:00.000-08:00

Wow, mother of jesus. It's been quite a long time since I've "blogged". It doesn't really count because that was a movie review. Plus, there's really not much to say. Things are continuing as usual and I have really no need to express much. I guess I am just writing this up to recollect what I think might have happened recently. There's been some crap lately that has left me with an aching heart, but I have gotten over it and I don't feel as if it would be appropriate to type and forever embellish it into the inner systems of the vast internets.

I'll start with the light-hearted thing. At my school they put what the state of California has decided to give is for lunch. And the people who work in the cafeteria apparently cannot spell chocolate and spell it "C H O C O L A T". My Friends and I got a big laugh out of it for days. And every time we'd see it last week, we'd just laugh our asses off. It's just amazing the joy in little things that we can all take in and make wonderful. My friend, Brenda also made a filarious joke. At least it was funny to me and everyone else in our small lunch posse. We were talking about falling or something, and then she was all like "He fell in the shower." It was as awesome as anything. Then, as always, I totally connected it to hockey (sports in general).

"Imagine, if there was an athlete, let's say hockey, and you find out he is injured. Turns out- he fell in the shower. That'd be damn ironic, since it's like- their job to keep their balance on the ice with skates on. OR- if the played a game last Friday, and are on a three day break, and in the middle of that three day break, you find out that one of the players got injured. BUT the player had played the game with out getting hit too aggressively (enough to get hurt), and everyone's like "WTF??!!" Then you found out he fell in the shower."

I kept going and going. Even now, it is still funny. For reals. It's funny. Yet sad. Lolz. I don't know about you, but it'd be sad yet funny if someone got hurt if RIGHT before the game. Well, that's not at all pleasant, but my friends and I take joy out of imagining crap that is totally ridiculous.
Anyway, something similar happened today. A player of the New York Islanders was hit by an SUV. But luckily he was fine and played today. [With a loss to Philadelphia 6-2.]
And mark my words, one day, you shall, hear of an athlete falling in the shower. Hahahaha.
Brenda added to the hilarity today by saying:
"One of my teachers from elementary seriously got hurt by falling in the shower." She smiled then laughed and added, "She broke her arm." And she laughed some more. Then I laughed along with her. And everyone else quickly joined along.

That's just one joke written down from the infamous lunch room.

Some things are meant to be unspoken of and I got one of those last week, and it put me under tremendous stress. My only refuge was with the people that could laugh with me about cruel things- like people getting hurt, or calling Laura's friend Shelob from LOTR or things like Big Bird, C H O C O L A T, getting butthurt, the "Shittsburgh Pengwhines", the Capitals, Victor's Secret, and funny hockey crap. I needed something to keep me sane. I was cranky the whole week and was very unhappy that I couldn't see my friend who has moved to the Bay Area. And it kills me. Seeing my friends everyday reminds me that I can't SEE or interact with the other that isn't here. Like as if I am talking to a ghost. But I need to go to my friends and well, I was pretty much torturing myself.
But if in general, as I've said many many times before, if something keeps you happy, do it. And now, it's being with my friends and laughing with them is such a warm blessing. And I am crying right now, thinking about the scorn I will feel later when I am angry for something they do. Something that any human can do, yet I expect them to know how I want them to act or what they say. Because, I know, even when people say "You won't be friends with the people you were friends with in high school", I know that I will remember my eight amazing friends (only 4 in which I see at school) when I am older. And it will signify the youth we [this sounds morbid] deteriorated day by day. Living, laughing, remembering, and forgetting along with time, that's why I appreciate. And if there is someone watching over us, or some great power [which I in someway fell there is] I know this form of power sent me the amazing people that surround me everyday. My teachers are amazing people when they aren't pissed. And I guess I take a better liking to my science teachers. Haha. My family, even though I feel somewhat distanced from them, some give me good advice; and, even those random people who care and ask a simple question. It means a lot. My uncle asked me what I meant by "amazing people" and I meant that they are people somewhat understand me and they have good hearts and mean well.
What I am trying to say is that, sometimes, life punches you in the gut and makes you hate everything or love everything. And I of course, go through that a lot.
I am missing my friends [4 of them of which I do not see at school] for they are living their young lives in other cities or other distant- or not so distant places. Plus, I am missing my sister and my nephew and my old friend, who has left this Earth almost 4 years already.
So to me, laughs and good times are everything right now.

Saw VI - Movie Review

2009-11-06T23:47:00.000-08:00

Okay, I had been anticipating this movie forever! This was certainly a movie I HAD to catch. And the day finally came where I saw it, and boy I seriously almost cried. It was sad in its own way, but overall, you learn new things about the story and that's when everything beings to pan out for real.
It has a followable story, but to my dismay, the film was quite short.

This film as mostly about the aftermath of the happenings of Saw V and Mark Hoffman almost getting found out as the new Jigsaw killer, as the FBI and everyone else around him is breathing down his neck.

Alternative synopsis:

Special Agent Strahm is dead, and Detective Hoffman has emerged as the unchallenged successor to Jigsaw's legacy. However, when the FBI draws closer to Hoffman, he is forced to set a game into motion, and Jigsaw's grand scheme is finally understood.

You see more of Jigsaw's wife, which adds great depth to the plot overall to the Saw franchise. The traps were awesome [brutal], and my favorite was [of course] the carousel. The film lacked overall fulfillment due to the time and the fact that it leaves you with an insane cliffhanger like all the others.

The actors were amazing [like always]. Costas Mandylor really makes you hate his freaking guts dammit. Wonderful performances from the full cast.It leaves you totally asking for more. Not a movie to miss!
Overall, it was a fantastic movie.

Rating: 4.87 out of 5 stars

Couple's Retreat - Movie Review

2009-11-06T23:20:00.000-08:00

This movie was hilarious. It's pretty much about some friends. four couples to be exact and they go to this island that is some sort of resort/couple's therapy. The couples go through their problems and such and they learn a whole lot about themselves and figure out if their marriages will last.
And if you don't like my description:

Their relationship in danger of dissipating, a couple racing to salvage their marriage invites three other couples to join them at a tropical island resort. Upon arriving at the island paradise to enjoy some carefree fun in the sun, the other couples are disturbed to discover that participation in therapy sessions is mandatory if they hope to remain at the resort.

The movie is filled with a witty dialogue and a crazy-awesome plot that was enjoyable. I recommend this movie if you wanna get a good laugh. It's funny and random and all-around awesome. The acting is brilliantly funny.

Rating: 4.4 out of 5 stars. :)

Still Haunted...

2009-11-06T22:08:00.000-08:00

I love Silent Hill. Let's clear that out.
But I think those games of psychological horror have left me somewhat vulnerable to them. The very soundtracks of the game make me weep uncontrollably, or catch visions of the gruesome murders in the fourth installment. And it isn't pretty.
Cynthia is sliced and stabbed to death [And her ghost is scary-awesome-and sad. And it actually scares emo Henry.].

Jasper is set on fire [But let's face it, he brought that fate to himself].

Andrew DeSlavo is drowned.

Richard Braintree is put in an electrical chair. I feel as if they are real. [And yes, I have the friggin' common sense to know that it isn't.]

But it haunts me.
And the killer behind all those deaths, a hobo-blond guy called Walter Sullivan.

He was abandoned right after he was born. So in order to feel as if he had a parent, he set out to complete a ritual to wake "The Holy Mother" by "The Holy Assumption" which in short, he follows a crazy ass cult and has to kill 21 people [including himself] to complete the ritual to wake up his "mom" and so an apparition of his younger self can be happy in the Otherworld.

OR:

The antagonist of the game. Sullivan is a serial killer who had been raised in The Order's "Wish House" orphanage, where he came to believe that the place of his birth was his actual biological mother. His killing spree is part of a ritual he is attempting to carry out, the 21 Sacraments, to "purify her" (Henry's apartment). He has undergone the mysterious "Ritual of Assumption", which seems to grant him immortality as well as other vague mystical powers. He was born in Room 302 itself, and with the enforcement of Dahlia Gillespie, he began to gain his mad understanding of the room in his early years at the Orphanage where he was abused for years. Sometime near the time in which Silent Hill 2 occurred, Walter killed 10 people in 10 days, and was caught shortly afterward. He completed the Ritual of Holy Assumption by killing himself in prison, and created the twisted 'Otherworld', where he killed the victims leading up to the 4th Game.

A mouthful, I know.
These games gave me a place to be. Something to think of back when I was a loner a few years ago. I seriously lived in that god forsaken town. With the fog and disgusting creatures. I began to make myself believe things. That all wrongful deeds will get you. And if you are not guilty of anything, you shall not be punished. Like the small annoying child in Silent Hill 2.
Silent Hill was something I could hide through. A veil of a wonderfully sane person who took joy out of figuring out riddles and exploring a world transformed into one or the other to torment you. I enjoyed watching three hours of game footage every day. I was alone. And I lived in a world where I felt that everyone would pay. Everyone would get what they deserved.
I was completely happy. In a sense.

The nice joke of this is that it invaded my ability for ways to perceive terror. I could never really see the real world. I was grieving. My best friend had died in an accident. That was my only refuge. I lost all my friends at school. Nothing could scare me. Except after it crawled into my dreams.Like plague seeping deep and slowly into your body, killing you little by little. I had just been starting to research on Silent Hill 2; I took a quick look at the characters and such, and that night, I could not sleep. I was filled with some irrational fear. Fog. A yellow-haired man. And a woman, wearing some magenta jacket. She was something. She was evil. He was an oppressor. A mental person. How did I know this? I never even read the plot. Or knew of it.

the next one was about my first favorite SH game, Silent Hill 4. Walter Sullivan shot me in the head. Repeatedly. I could feel every bit of pain. I never really "died". Lost consciousness and was eased of my pain and suffering. He would then kill some others, resurrect them and me, then line is up by rows in columns and shoot us all. In some sort of execution way. He killed masses. And every time I could feel the bullet plunge through my skull, then the sensation of it hitting my brain, lodging itself there for good.. If I would tell someone he would kill he or she and do the same. Just added that person to his number of kills and kill us all over again. I told my sister. She joined me. I felt so guilty for binding her to the fate as mine. It was pure anguish.
The games and story lines are amazing and art in every way, shape and form, but I suppose it was too much for me to bear, and has taken a toll on me.
Luckily I found friends who ignored me and as I rambled on and I soon learned how to leave that town.

Luckily the characters are easy to make fun of.

Like, Henry Townshend: [correct description]

The player character and stoic protagonist of Silent Hill 4: The Room. Henry is suddenly trapped in his apartment for five days prior to the beginning of the game and begins to suffer from recurring nightmares. He discovers a mysterious hole in his bathroom, through which he enters several distorted "otherworlds" and encounters the other characters in the game. There is little known about Henry other than he may be a professional photographer, or at least enjoys doing it on his free time. He apparently has very few acquaintances, and barely knows any of the other tenants in his apartment building. He has apparently been to Silent Hill at least once before.

OR: [Henry Townshend by the ever-funny Encyclopedia Dramtica]

A one-dimensional monobrow who spends most of his time spying on his hot next door neighbor through a hole in the wall and bearing witness to lulzy murders. Is the biggest pussy of all 4 100+ protagonists, since he never actually has the balls to go to Silent Hill. Walks and runs like a lobotomized polio victim.

Hahahaha.

Солнечный круг

2009-11-03T16:24:00.001-08:00

This song brought back sooooo many memories. My second grade teacher was very much into teaching us in a creative way. He made us learn songs and other stuff that were, now that I look back on it, very educational. We had to sing this one song in several different languages. There was one language-version that I still know by memory. [Which I had no idea what freaking language it was. I knew the English one, but the other was more in my mind then the English one.]

It went something like:

Pooztbiktdah boodyet sonset.
Pooztbiktdah boodyet nievo
Pooztbiktdah boodyet mama
Pooztbiktdah boo-doo ya.

Which I knew meant,

May there always be sunshine
May there always be blue skies
May there always be mama
may there always be me

I knew we had learned it in other languages as well, but those are the only ones that stuck.
I have been wanting to hear it, but I never took action. And one day, I finally did.
I just put the first line of the stanza I REALLY knew well. I didn't know where to start.
And on a funny note, that is the name of the song.

It's wikipedia page says:

May There Always Be Sunshine (Russian: Пусть всегда будет солнце! Actual Russian Title: Солнечный круг) is a Soviet Russian song, written for children. It was created in 1962. The music was composed by Arkady Ostrovsky, and the lyrics written by Lev Oshanin. The Russian writer and immensely popular children's poet, Korney Chukovsky, later wrote that the foundation for the song had been the four lines of the refrain, which were composed in 1928 by a four-year-old boy.

I was seriously in shock that it wasn't American. [I always am, don't worry.] Ha! A FOREIGN song?! That was all randomsauce to me. [I also love foreign languages]
After I finally got over that, I listened.
And I cried when I heard it for the first time in many years.

I found out that the one that stuck was the Russian one. Lolz. The French version continues to baffle me and I don't know how we learned it back then.

Then, as I realized that I didn't even remember the Spanish one, [my second language] I laughed, because it was just ironic [not really] and weird.

And I was pretty off in the transliteration. Haha. sorry.

What do they know?

2009-11-03T15:52:00.000-08:00

I am gonna be nice and self-centered and straightforward here when i say that I am falling in a black-hole on lameness. I can't stand school. I can't stand the doings at home. I can't stand my twist of emotions. I really wish to visit my friend in San Jose this Christmas, but my sisters seem to be aiming for my nephew and sister to visit from Texas. I can't even build up the internal guts to ask if anyone finds it acceptable for me to go. Mind over will.
I find it really bad I am getting mad at people who didn't do anything at all.
And we made a mask in Art and my came out hideous. What a disaster.

I didn't even have an idea for it. I liked the overall design-nice and simple, but it was missing the work. The smoothness. It came out like a rugged.... thing.
Considering that it was molded on my face kills it a bit more. Hah.
I find it hard to enjoy my "youth", 'cause I don't see the damn point in having the potential to do great, when I feel like I can't. Call it negativity, I don't know.
Feel like my head's spinning. That's why I consume myself with my interests, so I can concentrate on that than be sulking like this...
'Til my next post...
xo

[I know I have to put up a post about Vegas. I hope that's soon.]

If not for the glory, then what?

2009-11-03T15:31:00.000-08:00

I was talking to my friend the other day, and it came to the point where I was speaking to her about parents and older people that expect so much- blah, blah, blah.
She was telling me that she had wanted to start a hockey blog, but sh couldn't find the proper motivation. And this coming from her parents. The lack of encouragement.
That's when I almost exploded into a long rant about one thing.
Some people do things because it'll make them money. And some do it for the glory, the popularity. Some do it because everyone else is.
I say that if you do something. it has to be for yourself. Not for anyone else. It sounds selfish, but it's not. Do you think I edit all those pictures just to make someone happy? So I can receive praise? I do it because I love to do it and it's what makes me happy. Or less bored in most cases.
Of course, praise is necessary in some cases. You want feedback or something, you feel like you deserve it. I show my photo edits to my friends, because I take pride in my work and also, I need to know if what I am doing isn't considered a waste. So I spent most of the conversation telling her about those fan sites on MySpace. I was dumbly involved in that, and to make this short, it was just like a stereotyped place. Yeah, the "owners" are "nice" and stuff, but the sites with less friends have their own thing going. The very popular sites already have their own little posse and stuff so it's really hard to have a successful thing going on. I used to own a Twilight one. [WTF I know.] I was always unhappy with it. I changed the name and theme to My Chemical Romance and the book. Four months later, I gave up and took it all down. I thoroughly realized that Twilight was eating people's souls.
Aside from that, I realized that I could be doing this. It's not the way it works. I suddenly wanted people to "Comment my content" aka comment pictures, blogs, etc. And it was a ravenous hunger that was just oh so lame. I had started the site because I liked a book. But now it was a damn popularity and talent contest. And I gave up. It was gnawing inside of me and now have totally learned my lessons on things like that.
Stupid Drama and Crap That Is not cool is oh-so:

And will I go back, and do it for fun? Oh hell no. I don't need that going on.

Anyway, my friend was telling me "Of course I love hockey, but I don't seem to feel like doing it if my own parents -who are the ones who suggested starting it in the first place- don't care."
I immediately told her that she can write when she wants. That she shouldn't be following anyone when it comes to the sheer action of writing. Then I went to the basics. "Don't you ever feel you need to share your thoughts?"
She says, "No."
I told her that the reason i started this blog was because I wanted to. I felt like I wanted to share what I had to say. Do I really need someone to be reading this blog? No. I seriously don't. I mean. everyone likes popularity, but I really don't need it. I don't wanna have to watch what I say just to please whoever is reading this. I do not post regularly or in a scheduled way, as you can probably tell. I am following my own agenda and well, I am obviously okay with that.
Just do things because you love it. That's why you should start a blog about something. Not because you feel you have to. Later, it will sorta bite you in the butt. For reals.

Can't Stop, Won't Stop

2009-10-15T22:30:00.000-07:00

Hockey.
There was an aha-mazing game today. Alex Ovechkin [my fave player] scored twice with a 28 second interval. And now, he has scored against every team in the league. And it's nice to have a win after the fact that the Caps haven't beat the Sharks in a LONG time. And I ain't no hater, but the Sharks are doing very poorly, and so were the Caps, but when it came down to it, you knew the Capitals would win.
I love pictures.
The whole story.

Alexander Semin scored the first goal.

The game went on...

Sharks score. Benn Ferriero.

Ovechkin scores.

And again...

Then Brads. :D

CAPS WIN 4 - 1

Anyway, after lots of losses, I am very happy that the Caps won. It lightens my mood. [Lately it has been VERY heavy.] Glad hockey has saved me from going insane once again. Now I can look forward to time passing. I realized that tomorrow it will be six months since the Avenged Sevenfold concert. And next month, a year since I met Gerard Way. Time is passing me by and I don't realize it sometimes. I guess none of us do. It's so odd how it just happens. This year has been filled with so many things. Some good. Some bad. Right now, I feel like I can sustain my emotions. I feel normal. Happy. Content.

All because I do what I do; listen to awesome ass music and watch my favorite hockey team. My parents don't know how much it means to me. But I guess I have to deal. It makes me happy and busy, instead of bustling about things that shouldn't be worried about.

TODAY

PROS:

Substitute teachers
Capitals win!
Laughed about stuff with friends
relaxed just a bit
did not worry about much

CONS:

Jose Theodore got hurt. :(
Didn't make the mile.
HW not done completely.
I was angry.
Only talked to one friend comfortably.

I know you all love hearing about how my day was. [Yeah, right.]
Peace out.

'Cause I'm lonely and I'm tired; I'm missing you again, oh no

2009-10-03T22:35:00.000-07:00

This week has been a doozy. Especially these last 72 hours or more. Gosh.
To start it out, the Washington Capitals had an amazing first game of the season. Incredible.

(Getty Images)
I would go more into detail on how badass it was and stuff, but that's for a blog about hockey, and I'll probably lose track on the reason I am writing this.
Anyway, the game cheered me up on all negative feelings and it rocked.

I ran a mile and did not make it in the allotted time supposedly expected for girls at my age. But when I checked my grades for the week, I got all the points. So grade-wise I am okay. lol.

But the next day, Friday was really bleak. I was in severe pain because of the long and demanding run. [What can I say, I am no runner or athlete.] The weather was nice and cloudy. And that's exactly how the day passed through. Very odd. I felt as if though the day was very foggy, in the day itself. Every class was the same. The same caliber of work. In math, I wrote a poem about time and lies because in that class, the clock doesn't move and is set on 9:30 with 45 passed.

But the most horrible thing in the whole vague day was having my phone lost by sheer stupidity and mistrust. Well, I was going to take a test in the library at the computer lab, and I had my phone in my pocket. The teacher walked by and I didn't want her to think I was cheating. So I gave it to my friend and told her to "Keep it in your pocketses." which means "Take care of it. Keep it in your pocket for now." And of course I trusted that she'd keep it safe for the time I needed. [Which was about 4 minutes.] I knew the test wouldn't be long. I rule at reading comprehension. So, I take the test. I only missed one! And well, the bell rings. [This was during lunch by the way.] And we have to go to math class. We had gone all across the school, and I asked her for it. She was sure she gave it to me. But I was seriously sure that I never got it back. So we go back to the library and we ask the librarian if she'd seen it. And she was all mad that I even had a phone.
I just gave up. And as we walked out the door, the bell rang. We were late. We got to math and the substitute did not even notice we were late. So that was totally lucky.
Long story short, it was nowhere to be found and my friend had been socializing all over the second and third tables next to us. Her guess is a ~~asshole mofo butt-faced~~ guy named Diego. He has a history for stealing.
I am so worried. That was MY phone. My stuff was in there. And now it's gone. Everyone's phone number was in there.
If I weren't to get it back, I want it at least destroyed. I don't want whoever has it looking through my stuff. Ewww. I don't have anything nasty or shady. But it's my stuff. Jeez.
I told my parents and well now I am stuck with my old ghetto Motorola flip phone from '06. It's bad for texting and for anything to do with phones. Grr.
I am so used to having a phone I can use. It's really been getting to me.

Next, is today. Capitals won. Again.

But the third period was a little lame on their part. Still good that they won though.

But sadly I find that I am stuck in a new whirlwind of choices and thoughts.

Oh and btw, for the NHL twitter contest I guessed 11 out of 15 correct. I guessed VAN, TBL, DET, and LAK wrong. And me happy forever. :)

All day, I've been eating, watching Dexter, and hockey. Great.

Umm, only one of the best calendars ever!

2009-09-07T12:49:00.000-07:00

One day, Tyler from NHL Digest.com asked on twitter if anyone would be interested in a calendar that displays every NHL player's birthday. Not just the current ones. Every player that has ever played in the league.

I thought it was an awesome idea. Hehe.

So Tyler decided to make it.

@chrislovett @nucksmisconduct @birdmadxgirl @JonathanWillis @jessicalim @TurnOnTheTV @FantasyAtLunch @mishmash87 7K+ birthdays coming up!

So yeah. And I know he worked really hard on it. It's supercrazyawesome. And you should check it out. I wish I had the persistence to do this in a week. This is just plain amazing. Use it. It'll make the time he put in it all the more worthwhile. :)

And now I know that I share a birthday with Vic Heyliger, Steve Stone, Bill Stewart, Bob Sykes, Clint Benedict, Craig Darby, Craig Janney, Fido Purpur, Frank Brimsek, Gary Howatt, Jack Stoddard, John Bickell, John Scott, Jonas Bergqvist, Michel Boudreau, Norm Dussault, Paul Laus, and Raymie Skilton.
And the reason I didn't include the Sedins, Brooks Orpik, and Chris Kunitz is because I already knew that I shared my birthday with them of course. :)

The calendar will be updated when the final rosters are put up.

Gamer - Movie Review

2009-09-06T20:34:00.000-07:00

The time has come. I saw Gamer earlier today. And I have been anticipating it.

Umm, I am a bit reluctant to give a review for this movie. Not because it was bad or anything. Seriously.

In short: The movie was amazing. Very action-packed. :)

And of course nobody should take their kids to this movie. Only if you are way-ass mature. I mean it.

Anyhow, movie was awesome. The acting was superb. I was actually relieved that Kyra Sedwick didn't play a bigger annoying role in the movie. [I don't really like her.]

Gamer was really complex and I give ultimate props for that. It's pretty easy to follow though.
In the action parts, the camera moves everywhere! But that just brings the feeling of how badass it looks and sounds when you are watching it.
Kable's [Gerard Butler] motives are pretty laid out once you know what they are.
His family.

All the characters make some sort of choices and react in some sort of way that makes it all fit in.

It was really more suspenseful and action-y than I expected. This proved not to be a con, but a pro. Or else I would've fallen asleep.

And sadly, as I predicted, Ken Kastle starts dancing and singing. :|

All in all, if I make no sense, you know why. I have no words to really explain this movie with or without giving anything away. It was really good though. Very good movie, great storyline, crazy-awesome acting, and a whole lotta violence. :) [Hence why it is rated R.]

I gave it 4.7 out of 5 stars. Awesome Film.

So go ahead, watch it. And if you don't like disgusting fat people, video games, odd video, guns, or mind control; this movie is not for you. And comparing to my expectations n the awesomeness scale, it did not disappoint.

Reppin' For No Reason Whatsoever.

2009-09-01T16:31:00.000-07:00

Well, as you know I use the "Hello my Name is" stickers very weirdly. :)

No, I didn't put my name with different letters or anything. I decided that I should out my Capitals nicknames into use.

He's the thing:
My friends Laura, Brenda, and Michelle [and a few others] are nicknamed after hockey players from the Washington Capitals, my favorite team. I really just name them how I want, so like, no I didn't look for personality resemblances.
Here's the list:

Laura - Semyon Varlamov
Brenda - Tom Poti
Nery -Nicklas Backstrom
Michelle - Alexander Semin
Me [unanimously chosen by my peers] - Alexander Ovechkin

Anywho, after being all nice and happy about my name tags, I gave one to Laura and she wrote the name of Semyon Varlamov. [This nickname was established around April.]

My other friend, Michelle, had me write Sasha Semie, after Alexander Semin. [Nickname given in around May or April.]

And I had my name tag filled out (which was also cursed by my wretched handwriting) as: Sasha Ovechkin. :)

So pretty much we didn't put them on until about two hours later, when it came to lunch. That's when I made Brenda one for her nickname: Tom Poti.
Everyone at school was asking about it and junk. It was fun to confuse and weird people out.

One girl from school even said, "Your name's not Sasha!" and I said, "I know, long story."

A guy I know, Andrew, knew about Ovechkin [because of a trip to our nation's capital].

The idea hit me that I actually had guy friends to nickname.
So, now I must nickname all my guy-friends. Which is a bit hard. Anyway, I want to do this. It keeps me busy. :P

And finally, we decided to do this all again tomorrow but a bit different.
Oh the varieties of fun we have with markers and name tags...

Pretty good day to start off the month. Brenda cracked some jokes during lunch which made me laugh and made me all red due to the fact I was eating and I really can't chew when I laugh.

Let's just say her joke had: people who like hamburgers, Jack in the Box, and Spagett from Tim and Eric Awesome Show Great Job!...

Just so you all know

2009-08-29T18:37:00.000-07:00

Well, I started school once again on Monday. It sucked thankyouverymuch. But I am not gonna go into detail, because that would be just insanity. I guess I am insane. Hehe.

Anyhow, I have realized that I haven't posted a blog in about 11 days. Yay. A record.
Lots has happened, and not necessarily to me.

Ted Kennedy is dead. Leaving him the first Kennedy brother to actually die of natural causes. So sad to see him go.
DJ AM was found dead in his NYC apartment. He OD-ed. This is pretty lame, due to the fact that he survived that plane crash along with Travis Barker about two years ago.
Mike Green put up his website.
I actually measured how tall Victor Hedman is on my lovely wall and now I feel lamely short. Luckily, this isn't the first time. I have a 6'1'' friend so I always have to look up to even look at him. Haha.
I finally got Hello My Name Is stickers
I also went over some picture analysis with Miyuki. I will not reveal anything other than that because people might get offended. But hey- it's true.
Fixed my wall, is very bare due to my reconstruction of its "look".

Some of these things will be discussed in my blog, and some won't. And as I am sure that you are sick of hearing people die every other week, I'll skip the people who have passed away.

May they Rest In Peace.

So let's move on!

MIKE GREEN'S WEBSITE
Okay, don't get me wrong, I love this guy. He's one of my favorite players.
But seriously, when I saw his site, I couldn't help but laugh.
I mean look!

Hehe. I really do like that chain he's wearing. It's B.A.

Anyway, I think it's awesome. In a weird way. If you take the weird ass pictures off and crap, it would be a decent site.

It's also funny that the twitter is following @mikegreencaps. :P

I AM SHORT
As I mentioned, I actually saw how tall 6'6'' was and I freaked out. I called Miyuki and I told her about it. She did the same and also freaked. Haha. Then we tried Zdeno Chara's height and also were like totally amazed. Now, I have arrows on my wall with certain hockey players' names on them, and it is pointing to their height. Like, my arrow for Alex Ovechkin is six feet and two inches off the ground.
[example pretty much]

HOLA, MI NOMBRE ES...
My mom got me some Hello My Name is stickers today, which is totally awesome. Maybe my teachers will learn my name now. So mission accomplished!

STARING
I was staring at a picture of John Tavares yesterday and I couldn't help but notice something.

But I really can't say because I told my sister yesterday, and she said I was being "mean" and I wouldn't like to offend anyone or piss anyone off at the moment.
It's not like I hate Tavares anyway.
I have RE-Spect for him. It's isn't like Crosby or anything.

If I hated or disliked him, it would be poking fun at him or something. But this was sorely unintentional so I think I deserve the BOTD. :)
I dunno, you figure it out.

WALL
I need to put up some posters on my wall, it has dramatically made room for a lot more than I used to have, so I think by the time I finish I should have at least more than 600 items on my walls all together.
I had taken everything off so that's why it's all empty in the picture above.

That's it!
I have nothing else to say really.
If I do, I'll be sure to post it somewhere.

New Saw VI poster.

2009-08-18T18:01:00.000-07:00

I know it's kind of unnecessary to post about this, but I just love the new Saw VI poster! :D
(Haha. What don't I love?)

Anyway, ShockTillYouDrop.com has exclusively unveiled the new Saw poster! Isn't it bad-ass?

I like the, "TRUST IN HIM" text. It looks lonely and desolate. It brings a feeling of creepiness to the poster and the movie.
I also like how the hands are like freaking gloves! Very genius like the Saw V poster! The mask sort of thing you know?

Well, that's all I wanted to say. As you can see, I am totally stoked for this movie. Lolz. :)

District 9 - Movie Review

2009-08-13T22:29:00.000-07:00

Today I went to the District 9 premier showing.

To start out with, --before even watching the movie and only seeing the trailer-- this movie looked pretty awesome.

The aliens looked freaking cool. [Plus, they scared my sister, but that's not the point here.] And the storyline seemed pretty decent, original, and not-stupid.
So what I am trying to say is:
Anything that looks as bad-ass as this movie should be given a shot.
:)

Here's the general plot if you wanna know [courtesy of IMDB] :

Decades ago, aliens made first contact with Earth. Humans waited for the hostile attack, or the giant advances in technology. Neither came. Instead, the aliens were refugees, the last survivors of their home world. The creatures were set up in a makeshift home in South Africa's District 9 as the world's nations argued over what to do with them. Now, patience over the alien situation has run out. Control over the aliens has been contracted out to Multi-National United (MNU), a private company uninterested in the aliens' welfare - they will receive tremendous profits if they can make the aliens' awesome weaponry work. So far, they have failed; activation of the weaponry requires alien DNA. The tension between the aliens and the humans comes to a head when an MNU field operative, Wikus van der Merwe (Sharlto Copley), contracts a mysterious virus that begins changing his DNA. Wikus quickly becomes the most hunted man in the world, as well as the most valuable - he is the key to unlocking the secrets of alien technology. Ostracized and friendless, there is only one place left for him to hide: District 9.

And if you didn't wanna know, well scroll down and ignore it!

Anyhow, this movie was epic as hell.

A pure masterpiece. This movie will seriously blow your mind. It shows good versus evil in every race and species. It was everything I expected in bad-assitude, but the story was not what I expected and it makes it all the better. It shows that the alien race also are living beings and have priorities and such. And you can sense the change in the main character [not only the fact that he's becoming another species]. He becomes less selfish about changing back into a regular human, and just cares for the good of the aliens. He begins to see in the creature's perspective and it sheds a light for the people of earth. And as his DNA is changing you can feel his fear of this very very strange stuff happening and appearing. I thought it was genius on how was portrayed. It [the entire film] was amazing in every sense.
It had sort of a documentary experience throughout the movie and you see the perspective of the damage. A movie of war. Between races, humans, and a man fighting for aliens. Seriously, this movie almost made me cry. [I am such a big baby about somethings but even my sister said it was somewhat sad.] The use of alien weaponry was awesome-tastic and gore-y. If you aren't one for the feelings crap in the movie, than you'll definitely like the guns.
But, all in all, fantastic movie.
Great acting.
Movie of the summer.
This has definitely found a place in my All-Time Favorite movies.
Good show.

Rating - 5 stars

Should you watch it? - If you're into deep and riveting story lines about good and evil, guns, and aliens; then, yes, you should watch it.
And if you aren't into that stuff, you still should.

Gamer will be awesome

2009-08-12T02:49:00.000-07:00

What can I say?
I first heard of this movie at the Comic-Con. Since, I pretty much spent every day at the Lionsgate booth, I saw the trailer, and the promo items.
There were these women dressed up with neon-colored wigs, furry looking vests, tank tops, and pastel colored shorts. Apparently, they were dressed up as, "Gamer girls". I didn't understand the association until I looked closely in the trailer, then I acknowledged the significance of them being dressed like that.

Anywho, aside from that, this movie is pretty much about: a near future when gaming and entertainment have evolved into a terrifying new hybrid. Humans control other humans in mass-scale, multi-player online games: people play people...for keeps. Mind-control technology is widespread, and at the heart of the controversial games is its creator, reclusive billionaire Ken Castle (Michael C. Hall). His latest brainchild, the first-person shooter game "Slayers," allows millions to act out their most savage fantasies online in front of a global audience, using real prisoners as avatars with whom they fight to the death.

Or simply put, prisoners are used as avatars in a video game. People playing the game are using the prisoners to play the game using mind control. And this dude, Ken Castle, [pretty lame name if you ask me. could be more badass] is running it all and Kable [omg again with the names] is willing to fight back.

And by looking at this picture, you know there's something stopping Kable from stabbing/maiming Ken.

Anyway, I should get to the reasons why I would wanna watch this.

Looks like an awesome action movie [Enough said.]
The cast is pretty cool. [Gerard Butler, Ludacris, Michael C. Hall, and Logan Lerman]
Great, original story-line.
Very well choreographed! lolz. If you looks closely in the trailer you'll know what I'm talking about. ;)
This should be a reason by itself:
Ummm, awesome-ness anyone?

Ummm, yeah, this movie just really appeals to me.

But I do admit, I do not like Michael's accent. Ughh, it's so not cool.
Just like Brad Pitt's accent in this movie. >.<
Gross.

Only cons from this movie are the accent, that lady with the accent [I don't like her much], and the odd wardrobe, but I guess that's the point eh?
That getup is not suiting Ludacris at all. The color is hideous.

But overall, I think this is gonna be a really cool movie. :D

The random[ish] coincidence in April.

2009-08-12T02:05:00.000-07:00

Back in April, I went to the Los Angeles A7X show [4/16]. And I thought it would be a splendid idea to go the very next day, again, in San Diego.

Well this was something sorta coincidental. I knew Buckcherry was going to open up for them. But I don't know about the other band...

And the other band was named Rev Theory. Wow. The first song they played was "Hell Yeah".

I freaked out.
I heard have this song before! Jeez!

I was racking my brain trying to figure out where I had heard this damn song before! I explained to Cassandra that I had seriously heard this song, somewhere...

Then it hit me.
This is the song in the Washington Capitals video!

lolz. And after I made my small exciting discovery, I was singing along to the song happily. Hahaha. And it was much better live, and well, uncensored.

This song was a great start to an awesome set and an awesome show all together.

I really liked Far From Over. Fantastic song.

The band was totally cool. Rich Luzzi sang perfect. [He sounds similar to the studio versions of the songs]
And Cassandra and I liked the band immediately.

It was a great experience to see a band live before really liking the band [like, by listening to their studio songs and becoming a fan of their music].

So, pretty much I thought it was cool because since my favorite team is the Washington Capitals, and I was at an Avenged Sevenfold show.

Beautiful coincidence.

We went to the show the next day, and of course they opened for them again, and I actually got some pics. [Which are the pics shown here.]
Sorry if the pics suck. I had a crappy camera and I was in a mosh...

At the end of the show in LA, I bought their album and I love it so much! :D
It's an awesome record. It's filled with upbeat-y tunes or nice, slow songs that mean something. Great album. Now, Rev Theory is one of my favorite bands.

Saw VI Carousel Trap

2009-08-10T16:49:00.000-07:00

Oooooh!!!!
This is a follow up to my previous blog about the Saw VI poster and the trailer. I found a video preview for Saw 6.
I am excited! I am also glad I came across it because now I can say that I was wrong and right.

SPOILERS [kinda]

I was wrong on the part of a man firing the gun, but he does, in a sense pull the trigger. This scene is awesome. Like, some of the other films, it shows how crazy it gets when you are scared, you'd say anything to save yourself.

This scene depicts that the six people are the associates of a man [the dude not in the trap. Mr. Easton apparently]. Billy tells the man that six are on the trap, but only 2 can get off. So he must choose who to sacrifice. One guy in the trap tells him to just pull the trigger, and bang, he's dead.
That leaves, 5/6. Everyone is going crazy, telling him why they shouldn't die. They lie and stuff. But when he decides not to pull it, Mr. Easton gets stabbed in his hand I guess. One woman is faces to the gun, and it reloads, she's freaking out, and the clip ends.

[Warning: This seems very Red Band-y]

[Click here if you can't see it.]

Now, we know who, and why the people are in the trap and the man out of it. This seems like it's gonna be a really good movie.

I can't wait for October now! Hockey season starts and 22 days later, SAW VI! :D

Hello My Name Is...

2009-08-08T21:34:00.000-07:00

I remember last year around May, I got my friend and I some of these.

Yes, "Hello My Name is" sticker name tag things.

I took them to school, and I had a blast with them, because as long as it isn't profane, you can put whatever you want on them!

I also remember when that was the time that spelling my name with a "k" sparked.

I used only about three, while my other friends were using 'em up like cheap crayons.
Some rude friends of a friend, Michelle, were ripping them off her shirt and tearing them up because it read "Dead" on it.
Hmmm. Some people.... ugh. They killed the fun right then and there.

We proceeded with using the name tags and a few months [or weeks] later, I tried finding them in the place I got them, but I didn't find any! They were just awesome-tastic and it's pretty lame I couldn't find any.

I want the plain ones. No designs or anything. They were like the one pictured above, but they were blue, and didn't look as bad when it came to fonts.

It's been over a year, and I still haven't found any anywhere. But I'm sure, in due time I'll find them.

One video game can ruin a franchise.

2009-08-07T14:40:00.000-07:00

When I saw the demo for the game, The Warriors: Street Brawl, it wasn't all that bad. It was customizable, and looked pretty fun. There was co-op mode, single, and online mode which is plain awesome. I will list the features courtesy of IGN here:

Retro Side-Scrolling Brawler Action – Experience the movie the way it was intended with old-school white knuckle brawling. A gun doesn’t make you tough, use knives, bats, crowbars, 2x4's and pool cues to get up close and personal. Fight your way back to your turf for the big showdown with Luthor on the beach
Three Gameplay modes: Single Player, Local Multiplayer, Online Multiplayer Co-Op
Versus Mode – Not all gang members get along. Go toe to toe with up to 4 of your fellow gang members to see who the true Warchief is
Boss Mode – Put The Warriors through the grinder in a non-stop string of boss fights in this unlockable mode to see if you have what it takes to become the city's top dog
Unlockable Content – Build your army of Warriors as you progress through the game by unlocking hidden gang members
Comic Book Visuals – The Warriors: Street Brawl has a unique visual style that captures the comic book-like nature of the tale filled with gritty, dangerous characters in haunting locations across Manhattan at night

Sounds okay to me...
But I saw the trailer. And I immediately said to myself, "What the hell."

The Warriors: Street Brawl at IGN.com

The guy singing sounds freaking constipated squared. It just tells you about bad voice acting. I don't know if they meant for it to sound that way, but it sure as hell does anyway.
I don't really know what to say.

The original The Warriors game that was released in 2005 was one of the best video games I have ever played. It was genius.

The features on the second edition of the game are cool and all, but let's put it this way, this game [The Warriors: Street Brawl] is rated T for Teen. Honestly, the nature of The Warriors [Rated M for Mature] is brutal.
How can the second one compare? In no way is this similar to having countries ruining things. Same country here.
Just the rating is harsh. It's like saying, "Hey we made this game better. It's a watered down version of The Warriors."
I can't say if it sucks or not, because obviously the game hasn't been released yet, and I haven't played it. But I am a bit worried. I did want a second game, to expand the city and stuff, but I don't want an arcade status one.

Next, Silent Hill: Shattered Memories.

the logo itself is pretty stupid. Looks like it's freezing.

Silent Hill is officially ten years old this year. A decade. Silent Hill was released in 1999 on Playstation.

This was obviously a while back. Team Silent made 4 of 6 games for Silent Hill.
This game is based in Japan.

A few years ago, the US took over the Silent Hill franchise, adding a prequel, Silent Hill: Origins.
This one follows a man named Travis Grady, a truck driver, who saves Alessa from a burning house and is stuck in Silent Hill trying to find her. But his dark past catches up with him, and he is forced to face them while there.

Most people say it sucked. Most people don't mind.

Then, last year, they added another game, Silent Hill: Homecoming. This is the sixth installment and it's also known as Silent Hill 5.

This one's about a soldier coming back home. He realizes his brother is gone and goes looking for him, but he realizes that things are really not as they seem.

This one was more action-based. Not much psychological horror. Again, some people say it sucked.

Now, as I have said before the games are still out there. The real games.

I don't mind these other installments at all. They're still interesting.

Now they are deciding to remake Silent Hill [the first one]. That's where I cross the line. Silent Hill was all about crappy ways of fighting monsters and puzzles and clues. Now they wanna throw in an iPhone?

And You don't even beat up monsters or bosses? wtf?

[He looks like he is the kind of person to get mad because someone didn't bring him his latte on time.]

Again, I can't say it sucks, 'cause I haven't played it yet, but come on!
"Harry Mason and his daughter Cheryl are heading to a small midwestern resort town. Suddenly, Harry sees a dark figure in the street and swerves to avoid it, causing a serious accident. After coming to, Harry realizes that he has smashed the car and Cheryl is missing. You must guide Harry through the strange town of Silent Hill town while he searches for his daughter Will Harry be able to save his daughter and escape the town in Silent Hill?
Designed to make full use of the Wii's unique controllers, Silent Hill: Shattered Memories uses the Wii Remote as a torch and cell phone as Mason looks for clues. The torch is vital for scouring the darkened, abandoned buildings of Silent Hill, while the phone acts as a secondary user interface, allowing the player to access maps via its GPS capabilities and take pictures of interesting elements. Likewise, the Wii Remote also can be used to pick up, examine and manipulate items to solve puzzles along the journey. Such technology was not available when the original Silent Hill was released in 1999, and its inclusion showcases Konami's determination to enhance the playing experience with new, available technology."

They still got puzzles, but umm. yeah.

A re-imagining of the original Silent Hill that turns everything you thought you knew on its head
The game watches you and adapts to your actions to create a unique experience to each player and intensify their fears
Implementation of a cell phone as the user interface, which acts as a story telling device, map, puzzle helper, and camera that provides seamless flow with no interruption in gameplay
New nightmare sequence focus on escape and evasion rather than direct confrontation.
Silent Hill: Shattered Memories will feature an all-new soundtrack by acclaimed series composer Akira Yamaoka

I like that the awesome Akira Yamaoka is retuning to the game, but seriously?
Implementation of a cell phone as the user interface, which acts as a story telling device, map, puzzle helper, and camera that provides seamless flow with no interruption in gameplay

What the hell does that mean? Story telling device?

By all means the graphics look great. But should the orignial Silent Hill be remade into something else?

It'll be a good game, but I don't feel as if it will capture the feel of Silent Hill in general.

This looks like the monster has a love affair with Harry, not an urge to kill him.

This is only the way I see games at the moment. Once I play the games, I'll see what they are worth. I'll post reviews when the time comes.

Hmmm. Saw VI

2009-08-07T12:43:00.000-07:00

As maybe you know, I am a huge Saw fan. I can't really explain why I like this poster so much!

This one is just awesome. The attention to detail, in a sense. I mean there are six people sitting, and it is Saw VI [or for those who don't know: the number 6]. So, my little prediction was these people are spinning around on that contraption while getting shot at by the visible gun barrel at the top center.

It only is natural that I think that this is gonna come out in the movie.

Now, I had seen the trailer about 100 times at the Comic-Con, but I was never really paying attention. But I thought, well one more time couldn't hurt. And as I was watching it, I saw my prediction was true!

You see towards the end, the people on the spinning contraption, and the camera is to someone's back holding a gun.

You can hear gun shots and people screaming. Which implies that, I was pretty correct. I am not guaranteeing that it'll be coming out in the movie, so please don't kill me if it does or doesn't.
That really isn't my concern, really. My question is, who is shooting and why?

The why is a bit obvious. lol. [Of course, it's a trap.]

Pretty much, I cannot wait for this movie to come out! October 23rd!!! And Saw VII should come out on October 22nd. And so on and so on. This was something figured out a while ago, for those who didn't notice that the Saw movies come out every 3rd Friday of October or third week.
Or to see it in another way,

Saw VI - October 23rd
Saw V - October 24th
Saw IV - October 25th
Saw III - October 26th
Saw II - October 27th
Saw - October 28th

Just using common sense, you can tell that the seventh one will come out on the 22nd.

Haha. Or if you Wikipedia the film, this it what it says: The film is set to be released in the United States on October 23, 2009, to follow the tradition of releasing each Saw film the Friday before Halloween.

Alright.
Anyway, can't wait until the film releases, predictions always are interesting, and I love Saw.

Japanese Wolverine with a mullet.

2009-08-06T15:56:00.000-07:00

Hahahaha!

Vasilis Lolos, a really awesome comic writer and artist, tweets the random-est crap ever.
Yesterday he tweeted,

Wolverine, wtf mang? http://bit.ly/KIs7T

And curious me, I watched the video. The video depicted Wolverine umm, fighting ninjas. The video itself was odd. I read the comments. And even now there are comments all for this and against.
Examples:

"Why does he have a mullet?!? This looks like an epic fail :( "

"what happened to Logan???

I love anime but this is not cool.....not cool at all.

Ugh, and why are people complaining about Japanese people messing up ONE American thing? Let's see the things that America has ruined from the Japanese.....

DragonBall
The Ring, The Grudge, and other scary movies
Street Fighter
Anime Dubs (only applies to people who watch anime)
Oh, and their planning on making a Death Note movie???

Wrong.

So please don't hate people, everyone makes mistakes, even countries. "

"What the hell?... umm... I'm more terrified than awestruck. They sucked all of the masculinity out of the poor bastard. well done animation-wise but... is this a good decision?"

Shortly after his previous one, he tweeted:

JAPANESE WOLVERINE HAZ MULLET FIGHTS NINJAS , LOOLLWUUUUUUUUT Look at previous post, then lol.

The capital letters and bad spelling made me laugh so much. And it is true.
The Japanese version of Wolverine has a mullet and fights ninjas.

This really isn't important to some, but I found it interesting and hilarious.

I honestly think that Japan can do what they want. When it comes to countries "ruining" a franchise or something, it will sometimes always happen. Look at Silent Hill, my favorite video game, and the other examples listed above. So, we should let Japan do what they want. The real Wolverine will always be there.
But seriously, I am not here to voice my opinion about Marvel heroes becoming manga.

Just saying: Vasilis is hilarious.

I think the period of madness is over.

2009-08-05T17:17:00.000-07:00

Well, I should start out with the Comic-Con. That was July 22-26. [I included Preview Night.]

What a convention it was!

Thursday was the best day. I got to meet Jigsaw [Tobin Bell]. And if you know me, you know I love the Saw movies with a burning passion. He was super nice and greeted me with a handshake. Not the regular ones either. So, I felt totally uncool and nervous.

I got to meet another nice person named Jon McCarthy in the line for the autographs for the creators of The Marvelous Misadventures of Flapjack. He is the co-owner of Mass Casualty Comics. He told me about a band called For The Wait and how they wanted a comic as a back story to their album. He gave me their album Separation to listen to.

Next, were the creators/stars of Flapjack. I was waiting in line to get my sister's Flapjack shirt signed and they were nice enough to give me an autograph as well.

Last but not least, I met Deborah van Valkenburgh and David Harris from one of my favorite movies, The Warriors. Deborah played "Mercy" and David played, "Cochise"

On Friday, I met Ludacris and some other people. including the super cool author of the Sheldon comic strip, Dave Kellet. [You should really check out his comics, they are gold.] He had a book about pugs so I got to talk to him about pugs and such.

The walking put a strain on me so I decided to bail out on Saturday. instead I hung out with my cousin Bruce. We went to go see Public Enemies, got some delicious frozen yogurt, and went to some stores. We stopped by an antique store with a Gothic confessional. It was awesome. After that we stopped by a reptile store which was fun. Then we entered the bird store, it was awfully loud in there and Bruce got one of the birds to say "Hello", but it went crazy soon after.

Sunday was pretty okay. I bought the Dave Kellet's "PUGS: God's Little Weirdos" book.

He skecthed a pug and dedicated [as per my request] to our household pug, Olive. I was happy with the things I experienced.

I came back with loads of freebies and stuff.

Of course, the weekend was not that quick but too much detail leads to me going on and on and on.

When I got home, I filled up my room with posters and such. I thought I'd be able to get my rest.

And on Tuesday, I got an email from My Chemical Romance.

The next part of the saga is the internet fight I recently encountered.

So, long story shot- I am apparently no longer friends with a person.

Hah. Well it was all for the better and now I can sleep well at night. I am glad I have my real friends, at my said forever and that that whole thing worked out swimmingly.

Yeah, two people hate me and tried to spread the hate, but hey, what can I do?

Of course, I am glad I don't have to fight with one girl every other month on the internet. I would give more details, but that is really all I'll let myself say for the sake of those two people.

So the end of July [an a few days in August] have been delightfully hectic and fun, and it has brought great results.

Meeting Gerard Way on Black Friday

2008-11-30T18:23:00.000-08:00

Okay, well when I found out that Gerard Way was doing a signing in LA I was ecstatic. I mean My Chemical Romance was on never ending hiatus!

So even though we didn't even know if we were going or not, Cachy and i were like so totally excited.

Eventually, we convinced her mom to take us. But, on Thursday [Thanksgiving] my dad wouldn't let me go!

You see, a few days before my sister Karen's birthday we were supposed to go out to eat. My dad was busy sanding a table, and I was starving. After a while of disputes where to go, we chose Pizza hut. I was getting sleepy. I also had a headache. Lidya told me to ask my dad when we were leaving and so I went to ask him. I said, "Are we leaving yet? I have a headache and need to rest soon..."
As in, let's leave NOW before I pass out.
My dad then told me to take a nap and I said clearly, "No I won't it's fine."
So about an hour later we still didn't leave. he came in mad that I didn't sleep. So he blamed going late on me. He wouldn't stop sanding that table!

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Anyway it was a fight. He sent me a text saying that I couldn't go and that I lied to his face and junk.

So I had to ask my dad on Thanksgiving if I could go. He knew how much it meant to me. Gerard Way is my hero!

After tears coming out of my eyes, he let me go.
So once we got home from San Diego, I packed and took off to Cachy's.

No sleep for me thank you very much!

We took off. We picked up Itzy. Got to LA at around 6am.

We got to the comic store and waited.

We were 12th in line to get put passes that guaranteed a signature from Gerard.

We waited from 7 am to 11am for the store to OPEN to get our passes.

It was a nice little wait I guess.

Four hours sitting on our asses. Yay.

Anyway after lots of waiting we took off to the hotel to take a breather and then Hollywood!
<-- the hotel But first we stopped for some coffee at Starbucks. I also gave a dollar to a bum. It was totally awesome.

Hollywood was fun. Lots of interesting people.

[itzy counted like four Johnny Depps. She acted as if it were really him. hah!]

At some point we were stalked by this guy dressed up as some sort of serial killer. It was creepy. He poked at me with his knife.

Cachy got to listen to some music. It was awesomely funny.

I snapped a lot of pics of the Walk of Fame.

Batman crossed the street with us.

At around 3pm, we went back to Golden Apple to wait in line for the actual signing. We would have to wait 5 hours [8 pm] for Gerard to arrive.
The line was getting really lengthy.

On our little adventure in the line, we met a fellow MCR fan, Hope. She was really fun. With her, I felt like an old boring fart. hahaha. She was really cool.

It was eight o'clock. Cachy's mom was sleeping in the car. She called and told us she caught a glimpse of Gerard arriving through the back of the store!
I was bugging out.

But I wasn't excited.

It was eight o'clock.
A woman dressed as Vanya came out of the store.

People started going in. It was time.
I saw the Silent Hill book in the store while in the line which pissed me off but I still wasn't excited...

Until I saw the man.
Until I saw Gerard Way in the freaking flesh did I freak.

He was smacking his gum loudly in his mouth.

It was my turn to meet him,

He shook my hand, and said, "Hi. What's your name?"
All I was thinking about was the feeling of his hand and the fact I was shaking the hand of GERARD WAY.

I was seriously trying not to smile stupidly.

I felt like he was the only person in the room. He was all I could see.

I deeply admire him- so don't think I am being cheesy when I say that he was so beautiful in person.

I was more starstruck than when I met Fabio Moon and Becky Cloonan.

I replied, "Jessica."
He then said, "With a c?."
This of course made me laugh inside thinking, what else???

I know, there are different spellings for names but rarely for Jessica!

My face was burning. I felt like I was blushing. It felt like fire.
As I watched him sign my comic and my pass, I told him, "I loved this first issue. it was awesome."
He replied with a concise and polite, "Thank you."

I was so happy, that when I was at the table, I tried so hard not to laugh, I was frowning.

After that was history. I couldn't contain my joy. I didn't care that I didn't sleep. I didn't care that I waited nine hours for just less than two minutes to stare and talk to Gerard. The experience was amazing and as I am sure it was for everyone else there.
