This job can be so dumb that its funny at times. I was at the front counter for a couple hours and this dude walks up hoping to use our machines to view some files. The machines need change so he goes to the change machine and totally overlooks the blinking light that says "Out of Service." I then watch him for 5-10 minutes as he keeps inserting money, getting rejected, and growing more frustrated by the minute. He's on the verge of making a scene and looks like he's going to destroy the machine when he sees the light and realizes what an idiot he's been. Then he tries to play it off like nothing happened and actually walks out of the building without looking at the files he came in for, while everybody's staring at him.</div>

AH AHA, what a moron. I love seeing people like that. Play off like nothing happened.


My school is in a hick place, so there are alot of faries. There is this fair called the Schomberg Fair. So one kid, was standing there, form my grade. He turns around and just gets knocked out cold. 30 seconds, he was knocked out. I find out that the kid who was knocked out slept with the guys girlfriend who knocked him out. Kid doesn't show up for a week, his lip is busted, plays it off like what busted lip, I'm fine. Kids are asking him what happened at the fair, he says stuff like "What fair" Everyone laughed at him.

Damn sounds like alot of you are out school, my last full day of classes is Wednesday then I have 6 finals.

Kind of random but hey its the RTT, my brothers buying a pet turtle tomorrow hahhahaha.

 

[bbwSwish]

I've been out of school since late May. I assumed everyone was out.

I basically want to play some of my favorite songs like Chutney. Luckily some of my favorite songs are relatively easy such as "Iron Man" and "Smoke On The Water" by Deep Purple so I won't have to be as patient as other people.

Imagine taking my trip to this location. 8 hours + flight followed by a long bus trip to another airport with your luggages. Wait about 2 hours and take another flight for 1 hour and 15 minutes to your destination. Then take your luggages and prepare for a long drive.

All-in-all you're looking at a 16 hour trip and it sucks ass.</div>

Twice as bad if you're going to Pakistan.

22 hours in a plane.

 

[Mr. J]

Today was officially my last day of classes. I still gotta go to school for my graduation rehearsal though.

I need something to do over the summer. Maybe a boring 9-5...

I'm listening to "Oh" by Ciara now. Don't hate.

 

[The Dream]

damn everything's coming back, lol


anywayz I have a couple of random thoughts

a. I am an official "comets crazy"....yes I go to comets games to cheer aka taunt female players on the opposing team, because I want my rockets tickets assured for next season....so far I've called out refs and players on their looks, hairlines, muscles, height, masculinity, etc.........I'm surprised I haven't been jumped.....I must say that womens dance team that they have consist of some pretty nice ladies, but colorful gay dudes kinda ruin the whole fantasy for me (not that I have anything against gay dudes, I just don't want to picture them next to hot females for obvious reasons)

b. there are numerous amounts of gorgeous females in my research methods lab, one I plan on getting to know a little better tomorrow

c. I just want the season to end tomorrow so we can get on with the offseason

d. I've ran out of things to say and I'm off the clock, talk to you guys this weekend.

e. bye.

22 hours in a plane.</div>

22 hours on a plane is better to me then 16 hours of switching from one thing to another. Always stressed if you miss one little thing, then you're stuck for 24 hours or more (except the bus). Thankfully, that's never happened to me yet, but I always fear returning home because I only have just over an hour at CDG Paris to switch terminals and what with how idiotic the layout is there it is not uncommon to get lost no matter how many times you've been there. I nearly missed my flight home the first time I went to France and knew that if they wouldn't have halted that flight I may have been stuck in the airport for more then a day with no extra cash.

 

[Shapecity]

^^ CDG PARIS IS THE F'N WORST! They change your gate without any notice until 5 minutes before your flight is about to leave, and you have to run clear across the airport, then cross your fingers there's no line to get into that area of the airport, otherwise you have to fight with the security to let you cut in front of 100+ other pissed off travelers.

Heathrow is a close second, I'll never fly British Airways again.

Graduation!

I graduated today (or rather yesterday) from three years at upper secondary school (I guess it's like highschool except you shape the courses you take after the major you pick (mine was social science with specialisation in economics). So...

[Legacy]

Thanks to The Legend, I'm gonna rap battle some dude at my school tomorrow. I'm gonna end the school year with a bang.

 

[Master Shake]

Nice Legacy, better bust out some sick ryhmes. I say, if your strapped for time, take lyrics from Lil' Wayne and Papoose and put it together. lol.

Good Luck though, make the boy cry.

 

[Chutney]

Congrats Bahir (and everybody else that's graduating this year). I remember the summer after graduation was so friggin' awesome.

 

[Master Shake]

Man, 2 more years and I'll be living that life. But Congrats Bahir, now maybe you can take a trip to Toronto and see the best team in the world play...ARGOS!

I also have a friend in my school came this year from Sweden, Throe but it is pronounced T-O-R. He is so cool. All the girls love him I guess because he is foreign.

 

[Legacy]

Haha, thanks.

 

[umair]

Good luck. Beat that sucka!

 

[The Legend]

Lol, lets see what Legacy throws down tommrow. Ill hook u up on what happenns.

Really, there's so much obscure rap out there, as long as it's just you and some friends, you can definitely get away with pawning off some other rapper's lyrics. It's like I used to be in high school with playing songs for chicks on the guitar. Girls I'd date used to love some of the obscure Beatles and Hendrix songs I'd play for them, and I'd always pawn it off as a song I wrote for them, haha.

Anyone here into skeet shooting? Maybe it's just a southern thing, but I'm really getting into it lately.

 

[phunDamentalz]

VC you forgot the text "kills" in your sig...

Arctic Monkeys new album pisses all over everything musically in a couple of years. I can't believe these young kids made such a good album.

It's a song.

And yeah, the Arctic Monkeys are good, but they don't exactly piss over everything that's been out there musically. I mean, they're young, so I give them a pass, but technically their music is about as complex as U2. Not that complexity is important or anything. The Beatles weren't complex at all and wrote some of the greatest songs in the world, but I just don't see any technical abilities from the Monkeys that suggest that they're anything than the next Oasis, a catchy Euro pop-rock band with an overzealous cult following.

lol, If I could play the guitar (or even the piano), I'd definetly do that often. They won't know; just the fact that you're playing an instrument or singing a song for them would do it.

WHO CARES about technical skill? The Arctic Monkeys have made the most addictive rock album in years. How "technical" were the Ramones? the Pistols? Yet they still kicked serious ass. Arctic Monkeys just feel like a real band to me, not like the corporate crap that dominates the airwaves. With crap like Daughtry, Maroon 5 and THE FRAY, we should be damn grateful for the Monkeys. When you say a catchy "Euro" pop-rock band, that is an ignorant statement. maybe you've forgotten to notice that many if not most of the best bands in rock history have been "Euro".... starting with the Beatles. clash stone roses MBV the verve gang of four joy division led zeppelin black sabbath brian eno chemical brothers the kinks rolling stones cream...maybe i should stop.... the "Euro" tag is obsolete, Mr. Memphis man.

PS I agree that Oasis are overrated.

Lol @ the Mr. Memphis man statement. I live in Memphis, but I'm actually pretty worldly. I've lived all over the place and was technically born Canadian (Windsor, right across the bridge from Detroit). So don't get on me about being from a small southern city. I take that crap all the time on message boards, and it really just reflects on the ignorance of the people who are attacking me, because they're not worldly enough to realize that people in small towns like Memphis can be just as educated as people from cities like New York and Los Angeles.

I understand that good music has come from Britain, and I don't know why you would take anything else out of my comment. I said the Arctic Monkeys were generic Europop, not the Beatles or Sabbath. I don't understand where you got that from my post at all. I probably know more about the Beatles and Sabbath, for that matter, than anyone on this forum. I'm a huge fan of both.

As for technical ability, it is important. Bands who play nothing but power chords and simple progressions are annoying. Simplicity is great, but only when there's a creative force behind it and some sort of emotion in every note. The Monkeys play pop songs though, technically speaking, with the same old pop melodies. There's nothing creative or emotional about that. What else am I supposed to say, that their music sounds uninspired, and that it's marketed to jaded people like you who are just tired of the typical "corporate" stuff but don't realize that the band you're listening to is every bit as corporate?

By the way, the Ramones and the Sex Pistols are trash musically. They, like Nirvana and others before them, have built a legacy on a social revolution they helped spark, not the quality of their music.

And yes, I realize that bands like the Fray, and whoever else you want to throw out there, are complete garbage, but when you say the Monkeys are that far above every band that has put out an album in the last few years, then you lump great musicians like John Frusciante, the Red Hot Chili Peppers, Pearl Jam, the Smashing Pumpkins, and the new group Satellite Party into it, and that's just unfounded.

those are all great veteran musicians but there's something about a band that is 20 years old versus 42.....
AM are hungry in a way that PJ, RCHP and SP would spend hours in the studio trying to replicate. their music has a vitality and primalism that the other experienced, technically proficient musicians you mentioned USED to have many years ago.
i hear what you're saying about simple music being boring but if you actually listen to Favorite Worst Nightmare, the arrangements, drumming and basslines are pretty damn creative. believe me, i would love for Pearl Jam or Chili Peppers to come out with something that just sounded as fresh as the Arctic Monkeys, but they haven't for a few years now...

Hey man, I agree that the Monkeys are refreshing. I just don't like how overzealous their fan base is as whole trying to push them on everyone as if they're the next Beatles. They're above the average mainstream crap, but they're nowhere near the Beatles' level.

Oh, and all those bands I named still have the fire. If anything, they're all sounding better today than ever before. The media just doesn't focus on them nearly as much as they used to.

 

[Skiptomylue11]

Woot Voodoo Child is a Canadian!!!!

 

[Chutney]

Haha, awesome. VC's technically a Canuck.

I've been listening to the Sex Pistols, Clash, and a lot of the punk bands of the 70's recently and I have to agree. They're simplicity isn't a good thing and, IMO, they kind of strung together some background music so they could convey their powerful and angry lyrics. That's where the real value lies with that type of music.

The Arctic Monkey's are a breath of fresh air, considering they made it into the mainstream but I don't think they're incredible. They remind me of the Killers. And before that, Franz Ferdinand. And before that, Coldplay. And before that, Oasis. etc. etc.

 

[Voodoo Child]

Lol, I'm just Canadian because my parents went across the bridge to Windsor the day I was born. My parents were living in Detroit at the time though.
