ughgughguhguhg

soo much work!
2 more weeks to go

Forever and always

This will be my favourite piece of writing or whatever you call it.

The car's on fire and there's no driver at the wheel
And the sewers are all muddied with a thousand lonely suicides
And a dark wind blows
The government is corrupt
And we're on so many drugs
With the radio on and the curtains drawn

We're trapped in the belly of this horrible machine
And the machine is bleeding to death

The sun has fallen down
And the billboards are all leering
And the flags are all dead at the top of their poles

It went like this

The buildings tumbled in on themselves
Mothers clutching babies picked through the rubble and pulled out their hair

The skyline was beautiful on fire
All twisted metal stretching upwards
Everything washed in a thin orange haze

I said, "Kiss me, you're beautiful..
These are truly the last days"

You grabbed my hand and we fell into it
Like a daydream or a fever

We woke up one morning and fell a little further down
For sure it's the valley of death

I open up my wallet
And it's full of blood

I just fell in love

with swiss design

------

I can't spell
I need to shower
I love The Early November
I need to do my homework
Im not going to class
I need to stop being lazy
I love being lazy!
I talk to much about music
I have rock lobster stuck in my head

Heifer whine could be human cries
closer comes the screaming knife
this beautiful creature must die
this beautiful creature must die
a death for no reason
and death for no reason is murder
and the flesh you so fancifully fry is not succulent, tasty or kind
it's death for no reason and death for no reason is murder
and the calf that you carve with a smile is murder
and the turkey you festively slice is murder
do you know how animals die?
kitchen aromas aren't very homely,
its not "comforting", "cheery" or kind
its sizzling blood and unholy stench of murder
its not natural or normal or kind
the flesh you so fancifully fry
the meat in your mouth as you savour
the flavour of murder
no, no, no its murder
no, no, no its murder
Who hears when animals cry?
Morrissey

this

...is killing me.

Design is cool

I recently was given an assignment in my Graphic Design class; We have to create a pamphlet for the opening of the AGO. Im actually really excited to do this, the whole design of the actual pamphlet is nice and im stoked with what I will come up with.
Im doing mood boards at the moment, for images, fonts and colours.
Cool stuff:

This band

I cant believe I havent listened to them in such a long time.

whooaaa

I always desert this place.
Life is good! I have a lot of homework, it kind of sucks.
Other than that everything is sweet. Kayla is coming, i am so excited!
I got a 215 dollar ticket for the stupidest thing ever! I hate cops
Pauline is coming tomorrow, we're going to a bar.
I need to go out tonight, a bar lcbo, whatever. I am so bored.
oorrrrr
watch its always sunny in philadelphia!

A quick review

Here i am, in my bed, on a cold rainy afternoon...skipping class.

So far so good, right? I dont even know.

Today i found out how behind i am in my one class and it sucks. I have to stop skipping class for stupid reasons.
I hate the situation im in and i can do anything about it.

A couple of days I was asked..."Do you think there is a purpose?"
What a hard question to answer and you and i know what the answer is and it kind of sad.

one the other side, I have a job now, money, that means things.
I need a bag and a water bottle.
I also need to socialize more.

This Week

Has been very good.

home

Due to some almost dealthy circumstance I came home, home being oakville.
Here are some reasons why coming here is pretty awesome:
1. My mom picks me up from the Go Station
2. I get delicious food. Today being a butternut squash soup and salad.
3. Hangouts with my mom and dad AND MY BABY HAVOC (who at the moment is in my room sleeping behind me)
4. My dad is buying me an external hard drive
5. I have tv plus internet.
6. I do my homework
7. EVERYTHING IS CLEAN!
8. My bed doesn't squeak.
9. Not a lot of noise
10. The air in Oakville seem just more clean.

i'll leave it at that.
Tomorrow im going to st.kitts to get my brother then do some homework, hopefully finish it and the by sunday get a ride to toronto and school again.
Seriously, after not having school for 4 months, it tought to get back in rhythm. I just want to go back to sleeping in everyday.

Being a "City" girl.

So im two days short of spending a whole week in Toronto. It all came so fast, I still cant believe im here, all on my own.
School started, my classes aren't half bad, so far i enjoy my professors(hopefully it stays that way)
I was with caroline from friday to saturday, got WAY too ridiculous. Saturday night, I went to go see Japanther. Funniest show vibe ever! so many hipsters and they way the dance, i was just giggling the whole time. Mainly because i was trying to picture a trash talk show at that venue. Too bad they never made it over the border, shit would of been crazy in that room.

I have a 4 hour break in between classes, I should probably eat. Still have no internet at home, which is a HUGEEE bummer. I've been watching movies every night.
My bed still squeeks, I hate that. I think my whole house is dirty except for my room. My roommates havent bothered to clean and I refuse to keep reminding them (because i've done it so many times).
Im going to see the stars tomorrow with rocio, hopefully those plan will go through. This will destroy you is on thursday and i just cant explain how excited i am for that.
I have to pick up osap tomorrow and im pretty much free the whole day. I might go look for jackets, maybe buy one because i really really need one.

I have approx, 3 hours to eat, maybe take a nap and I dont even know, hangout with myself.
Hopefully my internet will be installed soon.

I hate you curtis!

bummer

School is starting soon, I have no TV. Im going to be bored some times.

All im anticipating is This Will Destroy you, i've wanted to see them for the longest time. I am beyond excited.

Haha, im listening to bane

Unreal

The amount of tours coming through toronto is amazing. So far the line up is:
August 15th- Reign Supreme
August 17th- Ceremony
August 27th- Polar Bear Club
August 29th- Terror, Trapped Under Ice
September 11th- FUCKING THIS WILL DESTROY YOU!
October 3rd- Alkaline Trio
October 24th- Bane, Outbreak and Gravemaker OR Have heart, Ceremony, Blacklisted

The best part about it, is that I will always be in toronto. No hassle about taking a train or driving.

Wax on, wax off

lol, I got my legs waxed.
Let me tell you something, that certainly has to go into my top 10 most awkward moments in my life. I went in with my shorts so she could wax my whole leg with no problem. NO! She asked me to take my shorts off, it was so weird! There were a couple of time i just wanted to laugh, but i contained myself. Hahaha, it was so weird and awkward, why did i take my shorts off!

hahaha, oh wow.

So my mom wanted to grab some music off me, this is the reason why im uploading these records. I didn't want them to be lost urls in the internet world.

Feist- Let it Die


Mika- Like in Cartoon Motion


Morrissey- The Best of Morrissey

hi hi hi

Hahah, I havent posted a album on here in sooooo long.
Lately i've been listening to a lot of:
Shipwreck a.d
Have Heart (forgot how awesome this band is)
Lewd Acts (im soo pissed i missed them)


Ugh, i've been trying to write this one song for such a long time and I still cant get it right. I tried recording some of the other songs we've wrote but I cant use garage band and my patch chord is at brienne, therefore i cant use my guitar recording software.

I really want to finish at least a 4 song demo by the end of the summer. With everyones busy schedule (and its summer! imagine during school) we cant do anything. I also need to get an acoustic guitar soon. But fuck, we need to finish the demo.

These past weekends have been so much fun.
This weekend I got the key to my place in toronto, I love it there so much. I mean, there's nothing wrong with 24 hours bubble tea places. I went to my workshops from friday to saturday, made my way down on saturday, met up with brienne and he friend masha. We say dragonette, they only played 4 songs but i was so worth it. I drank too much and had to wake up early the next day, i was 1:30 late for my workshop and everything was fucking delayed, I hate the TTC.
by sunday morning my phone died, couldn't get a hold of anyone, luckily the back door to my house was open and i got inside. I walked to pride anyways, hoping i could find caroline and rocio. I was in luck, I found them and we were around drinking and clubbing(lol!) until 5 in the morning. We stayted and some girls house and she wasn't even there. Went to rocios and showered! (i was so stoked to shower)
Came home, got caught without a ticket, now i have two to pay....which im not going to. Apparently if you dont pay them for a while, they'll call you and make you pay or put you in jail for 3 days or something.

would go to jail, not paying those assholes 220 dollars, eat shit.

I dont even know if this made sense, anyways good weekend, met cool new people, im only bummed about not seeing Lewd Acts.

In with the new

LOLOLOLOLOLOL, Havent updated in so0o0o0o0o long.

Fuck, let me briefly summarize what has happened these past few days.
RosesDead, I went, I almost didn't but im glad I did. The show was unreal, made me feel like i was in highschool again, just getting into this scene. If it wasn't for those guys, I would of never been introduced to that music scene. Even if I dont really enjoy them as much now, the were a stepping stone(one that I am grateful for) to the music I enjoy and love so much.
I've come to the conclusion that hardcore is the music I love, I find myself enjoying it more than any other. It influences me more than any other genre, fuck if i could start a hardcore band I totally would.

Back to the brief summary:
Went to RosesDead, hung out, chilled, moshed, jammed.
Then came Blacklisted, I was so excited to see them (seeing as i missed them when they came, like 3-4 years ago) and they didn't get over. None the less, I went with kayla to Hamliton because she knew This is Hells singer Travis. Such a bad turnout for that show, less than 20 kids were there. So the show ended and This is Hell was staying at kaylas, we went to my car and stupid me left the fucking light on and my battery died. They gave me a boost and to make things worse, I drove on a one way street (for the second time in hamilton!) I fucking hate that city.
Next night, same thing, went to Toronto hung out with the band (by this time I knew Travis' name and Brian, their merch/tour manager). Way better turnout for the show, after we went to sneaky dee's and we went home.
They played Sudbury on friday night and we went to their London show on Saturday. Let me just say something about London.....SHITTIES FUCKING CITY EVER! it's like the worst part of hamilton. After only being there for 10 minutes some lady got hit by some guy and there was cops and an ambulance. First and last time i'll ever go there.
We hungout in their trailer for the whole show, it was fun, they played and it was over.
Their really nice guys, by that time all of them talked to us and a couple of them keep to themselves but they opened up to us.
Such a fun week, brian gave us free stuff and it was just cool.

Next up:
Party this weekend coming up(i get the keys to my house)
Lewd Acts on the 1st
Kayla marineland thing
Shipwreck

Oh and there's probably numerous mistake in this, but im not going to re-read it again.
Im so punk.

Blaqk Audio- CexCells

Oh alex

nice link.

Holy I havent updated this in a really long time.

I go to do things that I havent done in a while.

I went to a show and it ruled so much, Ceremony, life long tragedy, sabertooth zombie and trapped under ice. Such a good turn out and most of those guys are so nice.

A couple of things coming up:

RosesDeads last show on the 14, super excited for that.
Blacklisted on the 18th and 19th, hopefully i'll get the chance to bring my camera and take some pictures. So many good shows coming up, im so excited, I realized how much I actually like hardcore. It gives off this awesome vibe, its people making music just for the music and to have fun, sing along and get sweaty...together!
I love it.

Weezer, The Red Album.

It's Alex here.

Found Weezer, The Red Album online.
It's not released yet, and I know all the words.

Enjoy.

It sounds kind of like The Blue Album.

So good.

Time

to get creative and actually do things.

I need to make art, seriously!

Will post most of it on here.

Well...

Cursed broke up, worst fucking news.

Waiting for a final show.

God: What are you doing now?
King Arthur: Averting our eyes, oh Lord.
God: Well, don't. It's just like those miserable psalms, always so depressing. Now knock it off!

Knights of Ni: Ni! Ni! Ni! Ni!
King Arthur: Oh, ow!
Head Knight: We shall say "Ni" again to you... if you do not appease us.
King Arthur: Well, what do you want?
Head Knight: We want... A SHRUBBERY!!


Head Knight: Then! When you have found the shrubbery, you must place the new shrubbery here beside the other shrubbery, only slightly higher so we get the two-level effect with a little path running down the middle.
Knights of Ni: A path! A path!
Head Knight: Then! When you have found the shrubbery... you must cut down the mightiest tree in the forest... WIIIIITH... A HERRING!!!

I turned 19 and still feel the same.
I know its not a hugee step, but i know its going to take me sometime to "grow up". I really dont want a 9-5 job, i'd hate it so much. All i want to do is travel, i want to visit places, i want to meet people everywhere! but, fuck money!
I want to win the lottery or something, seriously.

Well, I got some cool things.
I never really did ask for anything, but my parents got me a record player, i've been waiting for a long time to play my classical vinyl and it rules. They gave me money, but nothing to fall over your chair for. My brother gave me cash too, Norma and my god mother as well.
I really need to buy some pants, but i also want a mic and a stand, or save for an amp cab. I want a lot of things right now. It never really did cross my mind that my birthday was so soon and i should of asked for these things.

Seriously, fucking stop whinnying!
The world isn't going to get any better.
It doesn't have adjustment knobs to your fucking comfort.
Life sucks sometimes, deal with it!
Walking away from whats in front of you wont make you feel better.
Stop acting like you can do whatever you want
You're young and you will fuck up
Dont act like the big man
Quit conforming to your first options
Those ones never end up working anyways and you know it!
Get fucking over it!

Sweetness I was only joking

I keep forgetting to post here. I've been to lazy to upload anything, right now im just enjoying being school-free. Its such a weird feeling, not having anything to do, projects or homework.
Eisley is in 3 days and im so so so excited, but it still hasnt hit me, that i really am seeing them soon.

Alrighttt, so, I have an exam on wednesday and im done school!
Ugh, but i should be really studying, but i dont want to. Theres so much i have to remember and there's slides this time. I hate those AND two essay questions! I hate this guy, why would you put two essay questions!

AHHHH!

Today, was the best day ever!

It was so nice outside, it ruled! I made a summer playlist and it just made it 10000 times better! I finished my last project ever and i feel so good.

Now, I just have to study for my exam and im done!

I really need a job, full-time too!


Listening to eisley right now is the best way to end a day. Reminds me of summer, i love it.

I remember

"I remember life after the war.
Hiding in the ruins of the bombed buildings.
The man with no legs pushing his way on a tiny platform.
I remember playing alone.
I remember playing with the other children.
We did not have any toys.
We were making our own.
I remember the girl on the third floor.
She never played with us.
She was a ballerina.
I remember the stale smell of dark corridors.
I remember the drowned man exhausted from his last fight.
I remember faces that never smiled.
I remember my first day in school.
Hiding my face in the teachers lap and crying.
She let me go home.
I remember cold waters of the Baltic sea.
I remember sunsets and the silent silhouettes along the shoreline.
I remember the forest full of secrets.
I remember an unfinished painting and nobody around.
I remember the white aprons and the golden glow of fish in the baskets.
I remember the music teacher striking my fingers with a pencil.
I remember marching in a column.
I remember laying flowers to the monument of Lenin.
I remember my first glass of wine.
I remember the first girl I loved.
I remember my childhood.Nowadays I live a secluded life.
From my front porch I can see a rainbow
diving in to nearby pond .
When I return home from the forest,
I bring a smell of a bonfire with me.
At night I listen to mysterious calls of an owl
and feel much in tune with nature.
I live through four definite seasons.
With the crisp winter winds carving the deep snow
and return of the birds in the early spring.
Summers are full of creative energy.
This is the way I work.
It's when leaves open up
I wake up my camera from the long rest.
I use my son as a model.
I start my new season..."

I went to Ikea today and got a cover for my duvet(i dont know if thats how you spell it) and hotdogs! 50 cents, what a bargain.
My ipod froze on me just a couple of minutes ago, im kind of bummed about that.

Unwantedadveture

Even a map can get lost.

2 hours on trains is not fun, but i did end up at a station that was right by the lake. That what you get for skipping your tutorial, karma!'
I havent uploaded anything in a while, but yo tell you the truth, i've been lazy. I stoked for my critique tomorrow, I think my project turned out very well. Other than that, I work again and I have average homework. I think.

Lars and the Real Girl

I've wanted to see this movie for a while now. I finally got around to seeing it and is such a cute movie. Ryan Grosling is so cute! His sweaters and cardigans are adorable AND his characters is so awkward to the point were you just want to hug him.

+

admit nothing, blame everyone, be bitter

Wow

I just did something, I never thought I had the guts to do. Holy shit I feel good.
This is such a good feeling; "For once i'm loving every second, and i'm not looking back".

Something is seriously wrong with this generation.
Im starting a Revolution.


I hate people.

A magical, amazing book!

Being a Cinderella fan, when I read this book I was amazed! The author turned such a simple story, into an awesome book! I haven't been reading much lately, and when i started reading, Ella Enchanted, i just couldn't put it down! It is definetly my favourite book, and I reccommend that children, and adults should read it!"

Hahaha, best review by an 8th grader

lol

This is probably the best set of comments i've ever read on youtube:
