Current Project…

Currently I am working on a wordpress.org instead of wordpress.com blog. This will give me a lot more flexablibity in how I present this blog. I can’t use my home internet for a server, so I will let you know when I get things up and running. Until then, this is still the greatest blog ever.

I wrote a report on steroid use for my english class if anyone is interested in reading it.

The Fratellis (Here We Stand) In-Depth Review

I am reviewing this album as I listen to it, so it may sound a little weird the way I’m talking about some of the songs. Let’s start with the first track, shall we?

My Friend John- RATING ** This track is lacking some of the catchy riffs and other features that the first Fratellis album had. It’s not too bad of a song though, it kind of grows on you.

A Heady Tale- RATING ** I’m not so impressed with this album, yet to tell you the truth. The songs sound the same so far, and there’s not really a tune to follow. And I was so excited too.

Shameless- RATING **** I’m a little more impressed with this song. That’s all I’ve got to say.

Look Out Sunshine!- RATING **** This sounds more like the classic Fratellis that I’m used to. Not a bad song at all.

Stragglers Moon- RATING ** Eh.

Mistress Mabel- RATING ***** This is the stuff that I was looking for. A great song, and a good choice for the first single.

Jesus Stole My Baby- RATING ** Gotta say, this song bores me.

Babydoll- RATING ** This is so cliche it’s not even funny.

Tell Me a Lie- RATING ***** This song is solid work. Simple as that.

Acid Jazz Singer- RATING *** Not too bad of a song. It has a little bit of country in it, but it’s not a bad thing in this case. (I still don’t like country!)

Lupe Brown- RATING **** I don’t mind this song so much, but the album does seem to be getting a little repetitive, repetitive, repetitive, rep—sorry.

Milk and Money- RATING *** This song starts out really weak, but it builds in the middle and becomes fairly more enjoyable, but not enough to give it four stars.

OVERALL RATING 3.2/5
This album is a far cry from being even close to as good as their first album, which was freaking amazing. It’s quite disappointing, to say the least. Better luck next time, guys.

Are You Probama? (This is the part where you say, “Freak No!”)

This was a post that I found on my friends Facebook profile, just wanted to comment on it. I will take this one chunk at a time. My comments are in italics.
This is a very long post, but well worth the read.

“There are those who say Obama isn’t ready…” Why do you think that is? Could it be that he actually isn’t ready?

“…or he’s voted wrong on this or that. But that’s looking at the trees and not the forest. What we are witnessing is not just a candidate but a profound, massive public movement for change.” Change is a word that liberals like to throw around a lot. Everyone seems to want change, nothing is good enough. First, its, “We should go into Iraq!” (Kind of an old argument, but applicable noetheless.) After that it turned into, “What the F are we doing in Iraq, let’s get out!” What are we bored; do we need some different action? This is the only answer because I’m being told now, by liberals, that we should go intervene in Darfur, you know, help out the cause. Are we going to get bored from that in three months?

“My endorsement is more for Obama The Movement than it is for Obama the candidate.” What does “Obama the Movement” mean? See, this is a major problem with these types of arguments. People tend to throw in junk or extra “filler” type words that seem to make an argument better, but in reality, it makes no sense. So, does “Obama the Movement” mean all the people that endorse Obama, or the fact that Barack can shake it on the dance floor?
