I had my first day of "official" school today. I say official because it was the first day all teachers were expected to be at school to start the school year. The day looked to be a busy one, our principal had a staff meeting planned for the entire day and this is to be expected for the first day of school. This meeting always seems to be the same, a lot of this is what the district expects of...

Lately my three favorite songs have been +44's "Make You Smile" Snow Patrol's "Set The Fire To The Third Bar" and The Postal Service's "Nothing Better" All three have both a man and a woman singing. Now I am not a fan of female pop artists, even though some do have great voices, and I am not a big fan of female pop-punk-rock singers, aside from Paramore and The Cranberries, but the whole reason...

i dont know why i decided to buy this cd. i had only heard about thirty seconds of lycanthrope and i only heard that playing over another song. so i went out on a limb and bought it. its alright. its a damn good cd. like, the sort of cd that blink 182 would have made if they carried on in the same vein as their last album. there ain't no dick and fart jokes, it's grown up and quite poppy. ...

So, I got (+44)'s album When Your Heart Stops Beating yesterday. I don't know if I'm amazed by it or anything, but it's a pretty good album, and a lot of the songs on it are really catchy.However, would you expect anything less than catchy from Mark Hoppus? Really?I'll be there when your heart stops beating.

So, I watched Doom last night inbetween the Miami Ink Marathon on Discovery Real Life and I realized how much Doom and other sci-fi/horror films that involve marines and some alien/monster/pyshco enemy pretty much copies 'Aliens'. You have big scary marines go in find a few people alive, find the source all get butchered. Only the main 3/4 survive them most of them die leaving the main male and...

Wow, I don't know how many more bands with different mixtures of the members from Blink-182 I can take (no dissage implied). I DO like Box Car Racer. I haven't heard a FULL song of Plus 44's yet... so as of now, to me, they are just a sorry version of their former greatness... + a couple new guys, - Tom DeLonge. (wee bit of dissage implied there). The second I hear them, the minute I'll get ...
