Clifty Falls = Freakin' Sweet

So, yesterday we drove out to Indiana to a place called Clifty Falls, which is I guess a national park. I wasn't thrilled, but my aunt won't be with us much longer, so I figured I needed to go. It was awesome. We stayed in a really nice hotel in the park. And my whole family stayed up in the common area until almost 1 AM playing Trivial Pursuits and Apples to Apples. It was one of the most fun trips I've ever been on. If you ever have the opportunity, go to Clifty Falls. And sit on the back porch at night, trust me. It's great.

Yesterday's post was cut short because I thought I'd have enough time to type it before we left, but as it turns out, not so much. And tonight I'm kinda tired, so don't expect a lot out of this one either.

Alright, so obviously, there are only so many good new YouTube videos out there before you have to resort to classics. The Muppets are classic.

Ahaha, I love it! Beaker is one of the best Muppets.

Okay, it seems that South Africa is having a lot of trouble with gangs nowadays. But these aren't your run-of-the-mill troublemakers, no. These are much, much worse. Gangs of baboons. No kidding. I guess they get into people's cars and mess with their stuff. It's kind of funny.

Alright, that's it tonight. Sorry. But look on the bright side, I don't have class tomorrow, so I have all afternoon to scour the internet for the best material... or play Fallout 3... hmmm... See ya!

Fuck Black Friday

Let me tell you a story. Yesterday, I decided to go to Best Buy for Black Friday because Mike (my brother) told me they had "Fallout 3: Game of the Year Edition" for $20. My mom gave me twenty bucks (cuz it's going to be my birthday present) and I woke up at 4:00. Mike came too. We got there at 4:45, and there were already about 3-or-400 people in line. We decided to get out of the car (in the cold and drizzling rain) and wait in line. Good thing we did: by the time the store finally opened, there were a good 150 people behind us. We found the game easily, but there was a problem. It was 40 bucks. Fuck. I ran back to my car and drove back home. I caught mom before she had left for work. She gave me another $20. I drove back. I waited in the goddamn line for an hour and a half. I got to the cashier, and he says "Okay, that'll be $60." I almost punched him in the face. I was livid. The only money I had was forty bucks. So I went back home and then at 9, I went to the bank to take out $20 from my savings. They said that I couldn't take out any money without my mother's approval, because I'm technically still a minor for the next two weeks. Fuck. I didn't have my cell. I drove back home. I got my cell, I called my mom, she talked to the teller, I got my money, I drove to Best Buy, picked up the game (which they still had plenty of freaking copies of) and waited in a line for five minutes. I should have waited five hours. I could've saved my self so much trouble. Worst day ever. Fuck Black Friday.

Okay, that was a long-ass rant... Here's a video. Paramore's new single, "Brick by Boring Brick."

Great song.

Now, I have to leave for Indiana. Family trip. Clifty Falls. Adios!

Happy Turkey Day!

Everybody get enough to eat today? I did. It was hardcore. Turkey, mashed potatoes, cheesy veggie casserole, the works. Plus some pecan pie and banana pudding. Anyone going shopping tomorrow? I'm going to Best Buy to pick up the Game-of-the-Year Edition of Fallout 3. It's like 20 bucks. That's a steal compared to the normal $60. So I'm leaving at like 4:30 in the freaking morning to get it. Fun.

This is funny. Billy Crystal and Robert DeNiro work well together.


This video also kind of makes me laugh. Happy Thanksgiving.

Damn cat, always eating the pie...

So, for Thanksgiving, be thankful for another music download! Woo! Today, 10 Years' "Division." This is their latest studio effort and one of their best. The guitar work on this is phenomenal and the atmosphere was perfect. From the slower songs like "So Long, Goodbye" to the harder ones like "Just Can't Win" and "Actions & Motives," it deserves a listen.

And that's all today, gotta get some shut-eye for the shopping tomorrow. God, I sound like such a chick. See ya!

3 Sad Cows

Alright, I didn't update on Sunday or yesterday and I'm sorry, but here's what's going on. First quarter of college is done. And I'm ready for a little break from classes. Thanksgiving is right around the corner (make sure you buy a turkey for that special someone). Also, I just finished watching "12 Angry Men." The old black & white one from '57. It's great, go watch it. But if you're lazy, here's the whole movie in 60 seconds (it's funnier if you've seen it...)

"Who are you?" "I'm Henry Fonda." (walks away) Makes me happy.

Here's another one that's pretty funny.

Haha, that's not "12 Angry Men," that's "3 Sad Cows." A real poignant tearjerker. I love it.

Doesn't seem to be much happening in the news, unless you wanna read about how Paula Deen got smacked in the face with a ham. It's kind of amusing.

Anyway, that'll do, pig. That'll do. Bye.

... Where Can I Buy One?

Alright, maybe I'm not a big fan of technology taking over our lives, but this is the coolest phone ever. I don't understand it, but it's cool.

Told you. The identity tagging is maybe a little on the unsure side (it would revolutionize the stalking industry, though), but other than that, it's cool.

So, the next time you say someone scared you to death, remember that it's actually possible. Larry Whitfield has been sentenced to life in prison for scaring a 79-year-old woman to death by kidnapping her. Yea. It's weird.

This one I heard about this morning on Fox News. A woman lost her long-term sick leave benefits because of her Facebook. She's got pictures of herself on the beach and stuff, but her doctor advised her to take a vacation because she was depressed. So now she's suing.

Okay, here's a video I absolutely love. These are things that are like a one in a million chance.

One of my favorites is at 24 seconds. That's just incredible.

That's it for now. See ya!

Just Like That

So, I'm currently working on a new song (and just finished one). Both are pretty cool. In other news, our kitten died today. Got stuck under a chair. Mom cried. Hard. Call me heartless, but I just went on with what I was doing. But I'm boring you...

I'd like to share with you my latest piece. Let me know what you think.

"Flawed"

My biggest flaws are all that I can see
Like great weights, they're crushing me
My time is spent trying to cover up the hole
I'm not even sure who's in control

Why do I stand just to get knocked down again?
I try to focus but my vision starts to spin

How can I lead myself back home?
I don't feel I've learned anything, I don't think I've grown
The though of losing you makes my skin crawl
You tell me that it's alright, but I still feel flawed

My heart sometimes get lost along its path
And I have to deal with the aftermath
My only hope is I'll be able to deal
But it's not enough, these wounds won't heal

Why do I stand just to get knocked down again?
I try to focus but my vision starts to spin

How can I lead myself back home?
I don't feel I've learned anything, I don't think I've grown
The though of losing you makes my skin crawl
You tell me that it's alright, but I still feel flawed

And it seems like these walls are closing in on me
And I think someone should catch me before I hit the ground
There's nothing I want more than to erase these mistakes
And break through these walls, to no longer feel flawed

How can I lead myself back home?
I don't feel I've learned anything, I don't think I've grown
The though of losing you makes my skin crawl
You tell me that it's alright, but I still feel flawed

Alright, here's an interesting article for you: Scientists are figuring out how to grow meat in labs, without animals. Now this is kind of cool for a couple of reasons: First, this would end animal rights movements (I'm so fucking sick of hearing about how animals are people too...). Plus, now we can use all that land for something else, like (here's a crazy thought) creating low-income housing developments or anything else that helps our standard of living improve... That would be nice. But they say that things could get out of hand, potentially being able to recreate any kind of meat... including human, if they wanted too.

By the way, if you're a doctor, and you have a fat patient, don't tell her she's fat. Cuz you could get your license taken away, like this guy.

I need to find a video for this thing... but apparently there aren't any good ones today... so fuck it. See you tomorrow.

What is This World Coming To?

Foxnews.com is my homepage. So when I opened my internet browser, I saw this headline "Killer Homework?: Cop Says Teen Killed Girl , 9, 'To Know What It Felt Like'." Honestly, that's just fucking sick. You gotta be seriously fucked up in the head to decide to go over to your neighbor's house, strangle their daughter, cut her throat, and stab her. That's... that's just fucking horrible.

Alright, let's change the subject. Here's why you shouldn't A) invite slutty chicks to your wedding, B) serve them alcohol, and C) have a single (rather colorful) pole that holds up your tent...

Yea, we're gonna mark this under "epic fail," lady.

Hey, has anyone heard Puddle of Mudd's new single? It sucks. They're doing such a horrible job these days, I'm surprised they're even receiving radio play. Speaking of garbage, my girlfriend told me to watch Lady GaGa's new video for "Bad Romance." The song blows, but the video's trippy as hell. And in a good way, not like Beyonce's freaking "Video Phone" shit. She was nasty-looking in that video (which is weird as hell for Beyonce...).

Ever sit around your house, just texting on your iPhone and wonder... What would happen if I put this iPhone in my microwave? Well, your question has been answered by these guys...

Yea, so I guess it's not a good idea to microwave an iPhone... Who would've guessed?

That about wraps it up for today. So until next time, here's Ninja Cat. Goodnight, everybody.
