A Modern Musical Genius

I've been home a few days from my trip now and I know I said that I would post about it with pics and the like, but I'm currently going through them all with the friend I went with, trying to figure out which is where and what is which... this is gonna take a while. Between the two of us we managed to rack up over 1500 photos plus videos... so... yeah. :)

Anyway, this is more of a catch-up post. I would like to share with everyone some music that I absolutely love! His name on youtube is "Fagottron", a.k.a Pogo. This dude has an amazing talent of taking random sounds from your favorite movies and turning them into some kick ass music. Here is a link to his youtube channel: http://www.youtube.com/user/Fagottron.

Unfortunately, some of his earlier work has been flagged by youtube as copy write, so a couple that aren't on his channel, but are still awesome are: "Alice" and "Alohamora". Pretty straight-forward about what they're from. xD

Here is the video for my personal fave, "Expialidocious". Enjoy!

Until Next time,

Vacation

So I know I haven't been posting in forever, but I have a good excuse! I've been packing! I leave tomorrow on a twelve-day trip to Disney World, Florida! It will be my first time on a plane as well as my first trip away from my folks so It's gonna be a blast!

So I won't be posting for a while but once I get back I'll fill ya'll in on what went up, down, sideways and backwards.

Until Next Time,

Live, Love, Laugh!

Happy Earth Day!

Happy Day-to-Appreciate-Mother-Earth-and-All-She-Gives-Us!! So everyone, get off those computers (I will as soon as I'm done posting), get out and enjoy the great wonders of the planet!

I, personally, plan to have nothing on in my room (with the exception of my fish tank), go for a walk outside rather than on the treadmill, have NO lights on tonight (I shall be reading by candlelight), and to read rather than watch T.V.

So what are your plans for Earth Day?

Until Next time,

Reuse, Reduce, Recycle!

Fishies!

I really need to update my fish tank... I was able to collect 1 goldfish, 2 platies, 2 angelfish, and 10 white clouds and an algae eater; that was over a year ago. I am now down to 2 white clouds, 1 angelfish and the algae eater.

After the major cloud buffet by my angelfish (the only reason 2 survived was cause they didn't fit in his mouth...) I decided I should probably get some more fish to fill up my tank. I think my fish are getting a little lonely... and eaten...

So, now I ask you for some suggestions. Know of any awesome fish I can throw in my tank? I love color, they can't be too small (my angel fish may eat them), and they have to be able to get along with other fish, so no fin biters. hah. Oh, and it's a fresh water tank, so... fresh water fish... :)

So... yeah! After I finally decide I shall post pix of my tank and it's new addition(s).

Until next time,

School Decisions...

So I have decided two things:

1. It should be illegal to have a university exam on a Saturday night from 7:00 to 10:00... we have better things to do on a Saturday night.

2. It should be just as illegal to have a university exam on a Monday morning at 9:00... I need sleep!

Unfortunately those two times were the ones I was stuck with for my exams, but now I am done, out, and free! My next few days have already been planned: movies, junk food, sleep, partying, and finally, spending some time with my semi-neglected friends. I cannot wait to begin, but I haven't blogged in quite some time, so I thought I should start. hah.

So I am currently sitting in the cafeteria of my school, waiting to be picked up by my mother as my car has decided to not work... again... haha. Stupid wheel and it's threatening to pop off... ugh. I'm in the middle of trying to decide whether or not to stay here next year. I want to do something completely different with my life, but I've already wasted 2 years here, might as well get the diploma for something to show... right? Well, I just got an acceptance letter from one of the other collages I applied to this year, in case I made up my mind about leaving... the only thing is: tuition is way more expensive. Granted, it IS only a one year course rather than a 5-year, so that may have something to do with it... either way, its a load of money I dunno if I can afford. Oh well, I have plenty of time to decide. They don't need an answer for another month or so. Yay me.

So, for now I guess I will just sit back and relax a while, one things for sure... I definitely deserve it! Until next time,

Live, Love, Laugh!

Lazy Days...

Today was an official lazy day. I was supposed to be studying (which I did do) but then got severely side-tracked and began to watch cartoons and paint. I love to paint, but I rarely have enough time to do it. I'm thinking of taking some more time to just settle down and do what I do best: nothing! That includes painting, reading, cross-stitching and just being plain lazy. I think I deserve to take some time for myself.

These last few years have been extremely stressful and I have no idea why. There have been some days that I have been reduced to basically tears over something as stupid as a test mark. I'm doing fine in school (now) and have nothing to fear about next year but I still really don't want to go back. This probably sounds like every other person in school going "Aw Man, I hate school!" But I actually love it there, its just getting too stressful there. I'm starting to think I should take a year off and figure out what I want to do. I think I've changed my mind about 10 times about what I want to do later on in life, so it gets stressful trying to pick courses that will, indeed, help you in that field. Iunno what to do, but I know that in time I'll figure it out. :)

So, thats it for now! Until next time,

Live, Love, Laugh

Anne Frank

Last night the movie "The Diary of Anne Frank" was on. I had never read her diary, but have always wanted to, so watching the movie was a close second. I must say though... knowing the end of the story really makes the movie that much harder to watch. I usually don't get too emotional over stories, but the fact that this was real made it that much harder to swallow, and I couldn't say to myself, "Its just a movie, its not real...".

For anyone who has lived under a rock for their whole life and has no idea who Anne Frank is, she was a remarkable little girl who hid with her family and others in a small attic in Holland from the Nazis. She was there two full years before they were ratted out and forced into camps. During her time in the attic she kept a diary about everything from her love life to the bombs crashing outside. The diary was later found and made into a book, and then a movie.

I would strongly recommend the movie to anyone although I would suggest to have a box of tissues beside you at all times; especially at the end... The cast was really well done. The people chosen look a LOT like the original people, and play their parts well.

All in all, its a great movie, and really opens up to what happened to so many innocent people. It really showed me what my family was over there fighting for, and made it so I can be proud to say "My relatives helped to stop this stupidity and give people the freedom they deserve!"

It's now available online at: http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/masterpiece/annefrank/watch.html along with the complete list of actors and characters. The cast and the people they played are compared here: http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/masterpiece/annefrank/characters.html so you can see how well the casting department did.

So go watch that movie people! It's a real eye-opener as well as a good history lesson.

So, until next time,

Live, Love, Laugh
