Cutting To The Chase:

Politics. Poly meaning "many" and Tics meaning "blood-sucking parasites. Yep that pretty much sums it up. Ok what the fuck is going on with North Korea? No, wait, they don't even deserve to be capitalized "north korea". There!

First the bombs, then the threats, and now they are suspected in a series of computer hackings! If you haven't heard about the computer hackings I'll tell you. Apparently they hacked into the U.S. Treasury Department, the Secret Service, and some other government agencies. You know it's bad when our government won't even tell us all of the agencies that were hacked! Now I'm not saying north korea (haha still not capitalized) did it, but right now it seems pretty likely. (watch i'll be back on here tonight deleting what i said)

The U.S.A needs to stop being the fucking world police, and let everyone deal with their own problems. We need to stop helping the people who hate us and turn to Isolationism, and when all the other countries realize how much they need us we'll say, "Sorry." and throw are hands in the air. (Except for Israel we can help them since they are the the only ones who seem to appreciate our help!) Action Action Action then talk. Thats what we need right now, we need another FDR.

No, but in all seriousness. I know there are people who do appreciate are help and I hope that spreading our army thin is saving lives. Despite all the crap that I have watched in the News there are rare moments when they show a gratefull person who was rescued, fed, or saved. The actions of a Government should not be reflected upon the people. Which brings me back to North Korea. Although the North Korean Government may be doing some crazy things doesn't mean the people are bad.


My Point:

There wasn't a point I guess... I just needed to blow off some steam. So thanks for listening... reading what ever way you want to put it.

I know there wasn't a featured band this time, but there will be next time. If I had to pick a band the only one that would've made sense would have been Green Day. (but pretty much everybody knows about them)

and now regardless of how ironic this will sound, I'm going to say peace out! C=

Saturday, May 30th, 2009 [second blog]

INTRODUCTION:

Today we have our featured band "The Killers" and a "not so exlusive" look into their lives as musicians! WHOO! [o_O ] moving on...



NOTEWORTHY:

Last night on "Fuse" they interviewed "The Killers" and had them perform. (The Killers Rock Fuse) Although this was an encore showing I thought this was noteworthy considering our band of the week is the one and only. Which brings us to our next topic... amazing band photography and where to find it! Personally I would suggest Deviantart.com. You can always find better quality band pics on this site. And that is why I am giving the first "Stamp of Approval" out to this site. {Guaranteed} Yes that is suppose to be a stamp... shut up. Now for the moment you've all been waiting for!




BAND OF THE WEEK! (a not so exclusive look!)

The Killers! Brandon Flowers (vocals, keyboard), Mark Stoermer (bass guitar, vocals), Dave Keuning (guitar vocals), Ronnie Vannucci (drums). The Killers have had multiple hits including; "Mr. Brightside", "Somebody Told Me", "When You Were Young", and their newest "Human"! Click Here to see a "true exclusive" look at the Fuse concert!

The Killers got their start in Las Vegas, Nevada in 2002 and released their debut album Hot Fuss just two years later. Since then they've released three more albums, "Sam's Town", "Sawdust", and "Day & Age". Their newest album is amazing if I do say so myself. If you haven't already bought it I would recommend you do! Especially if you are into 80's music, great melodies, and alternative rock! Now I know what your thinking, "uhh this album was released like last year!" and what I have to say to you is... GOOD MUSIC NEVER GETS OLD! What? You were expecting me to chew you out? NOOoo not me... C=<


CONCLUSION:

At that concludes another addition of my "Life" blogs. Now go buy that CD!

Friday, April 3 2009 [first blog]

INTRODUCTION:

I feel as though I could easily become addicted to blogging... anyway, so I'm a.shley if you haven't looked at my profile. This is my first blog on here. Myspace wasn't cutting it for me, so I decided to come on blogger.


RANT:

Well first off, I know that whenever I come online, I am usually bored out of my mind, especially after I get done checking messages on Myspace, Twitter, Facebook, Pure Volume, Deviantart, Testriffic, and my more recently added Rhapsody account. Now to me it seems there are a ton of social sites, and they keep getting more and more lame. I think we have gone as low as we can go when it comes to Twitter... its just another copycat social site. I mean at least pure volume, deviantart, testriffic, rhapsody, and myspace have a purpose! TWITTER: i am now going to the bathroom... Yeah thanks for the unwanted information, and the lovely visual! Now I'm not gonna lie, I too have a Twitter, but I follow bands, like Rise Against. GREAT BAND by the way, if you haven't heard of them you should check them out!



BAND OF THE WEEK:

Which brings me to my next topic, music! now we all love music, and if you say you don't... well then your a lying douche that enjoys confrontation. Anyway my pick of the week is a great band, (one of my favorites) strait out of Los Angeles, California, its 30 Seconds to Mars! This band had a couple of hits you may know. "From Yesterday" and the more well known "The Kill". Band Members Include: [Jared Leto(center right), Shannon Leto(center left), Tomo Miličević(far left), and former member Matt Wachter(far right)] One interesting thing about this band is Jared Leto(lead singer) is also an actor and was in "Requiem for a Dream", although he now focuses more on the band rather than his acting career.

CONCLUSION:

Well that's all for this addition of my Life blog. I hope it wasted some of your time!
