Amazing

This week has been amazing. It's definitely the epiphany my teenage years. I hate how it's going to end by next year.

So I found out what I'm gonna' do with my future - instead of before when I was thinking of what would make me the most money. Get a trade certificate, then go to university. Also take a year off to start a band. That's basically the gist - So I'll be starting school with all you people a year earlier than me (yay!). Anyways - Enough of me. You've already had 2 posts in a row about me, and that's really no fun. :)

Time for...a band review!

Eye Alaska:

This band is SERIOUSLY KICK ASS. I suggest downloading their EP right now - and when you can BUY their actual disc. I really think EP's are meant to be downloaded since they're so small and expensive. These guys are like a mix of The Killers and...Fall Out Boy. The lead singer doesn't have an insane high voice like Martin from Boys Like Girls - or is it really low like Chad from Nickelback. It's like, right in the middle, given it's not as high as Patrick's either (FOB), but it's roughly close to his. The resemblance to The Killers is that they work around cool synth parts - but Eye Alaska works around pretty sweet piano stuff.

The song "I knew you'd never fly" demonstrates the piano in their style greatly. The intro is straight piano, and the fills between vocal lines are piano as well. It's great. The guitars are standard - Straight 8th's - Power chords. And the singing is practically the same as any other generic 'rock' band. What makes the band is the piano. The pianist has some serious skill, and it TOTALLY fits the music. I give them a 4.9/5 - Losing the .1 because without the piano, they're just like another rock band.

Now for BTOW: This week's band of the week IS....The Decemberists! You might've heard some of their stuff, but not enough I'm betting.

Anyways, that's my two sense on things.

Antithesis to things bothering Fosh.

Drama, drama drama it happens. Unfortunately it isn't always the prettiest .
Racism, SORRY FOSH, i'm assuming you're referring to me, but you probably already know
I'm racist to almost anything. *grr fucking asians*, the girls only listen to them half the time because
those "cute" albeit HIGHLY feminine male singers, because frankly half the time i watch a music video
and i end up in a convo like this:

Me: "I'd tap that .. damn!"
Person: "But it's a guy !"
Me: "YOOOO it's a girl LOOK AT THAT"
Person: "No it's a guy .. for sure i know so."
Me: "You just killed my boner. Damn i feel gay now."
Person: "But he's SOOOO CUTE THOUGH"
Me: "No he's a guy ...guys = no cute. They can be DAYUMM SEXY. But not cute. Shut the fuck up now bitch."
Seriously girls, why go after those guys? They're seriously feminine, and i swear they put tampons up their penises so it doesn't leak.
Fucking asians girls. Majority of them annoy me. It's like SARANGHAEYO this or that. And hug each other every day as if they haven't seen each other for weeks or months or years.
It's been a fucking day, get over it, no need to feel each other up like lesbos on a daily basis.

Drama: Well i'm the most overreacting kid ever, i let little issues inflate and inflate, i piss people off like that little things piss me off, i guess these days i'm just over irritated by everything and anything. Ten bucks i'm one of the most irritating, dramatic pieces of shit any of you will ever meet. That's right ten bucks. Enough for me to go buy a donair the size of my leg <3 .

Spoiled Rich Kids: Tell me about it, i live where they all live. Where kids are all like " YOO CHECK OUT MY NEW TWO MILLION DOLLAR HOUSE" , me: "Gotcha, can i egg it ?".
But seriously all in all it gets annoying. Kids and their beemers, Lexus', Mercedes etc. And even the wholebrand whore thing, does it really matter if you're wearing a decent pair of Buffalo / Diesel / Jack&Jones Jeans which are all reasonably priced around 100-150 a pair , or a pair of R&R's/TRUE's, for like what ... easily twice or triple that?
Spend nice on clothes i believe in, but to a degree, not to the degree where you look like a cocky brandwhore piece of shit who doesn't know what to spend their fucking money on.


LALALALALA FUCK YOU ALL!

What's been bugging me...

Man, lately, I really have been ticked off at a few things. So I'll immediately jump this one.

Drama. I often hear and read about drama in people's lives, and they always seem to pin it on the other party. But seriously, is it them? Half of the times all I do is nod and never give my opinion - only because if I did, I'd get a punch or slap in the face, since I'm not agreeing with them. It's almost pathetic actually - If somebody is pissing you off for being them, and it's not really affecting you. JUST LET IT BE. You don't have to like what they're doing, but you don't have to talk crap about them - and then they do the same. Eventually drama happens. It's seems like drama only happens to those people, the people who always smack talk everybody.

Spoiled rich kids. They bug me too. On so-and-so's 18th, they're gonna' get a Lexus. On so-and-so's birthday they're gonna' have mommy and daddy buy them a house. Seriously, learn to live a little. Live life in my shoes, it's not the shittiest, but it isn't anything compared to yours, even remotely. I don't have my own car like you do. I don't live in a house like you do--but I still try harder to do something than you. You sit there, being arrogant, annoying, and you still get money from mom and dad to buy anything you want. And above all this...you dare look down on me. Now that's just low. You have nothing if it weren't for your parents.

Racism. One of my best friends is native. Naturally, since I'm Asian, I cluster around an Asian crowd, because it's just more comfortable. But man. Every time I do, they always make jokes about natives - they generalize about the entire race. Sometimes, they're even more educated than we are. I was on the bus, and I was talking with one. He had 3 degrees. He had an engineering degree, a social worker degree (whatever it's called), and was on his way for another one, I can't remember. Amongst this myriad of education, he was unable to find a job. Why? Because everybody stereotyped him, because of his race. But seriously guys, you don't really need to make fun of them 24/7.

Musical Interests. This part really bugs me. A LOT. I understand that everybody has different types of musical taste, and yeah, maybe some don't like Rock, or some don't like Hip-Hop. I understand that some people give it a chance, and still end up not liking it. That's fine. But it's the people who never gave a genre a chance, and just don't listen to it because of that. OR...here's a kicker...people who only listen to foreign Asian music...JUST BECAUSE IT'S ASIAN. And whats even worse, they download it. They're not even supporting the foreign artist. Half of them don't even understand what they're saying half the time. Seriously, for the people in the second category, suck it up and, honestly, learn to like music. I swear, you guys don't even know what you like, instead you just type in 'Asian music' in Google and download everything you see. And, for you people in the first category, at least give other stuff a chance. I used to be like that, but I opened up, and now I do like hop-hop, trance, all that stuff. Half of the time it isn't bad. Sometimes it is, but that's with all music. Some rock is crap, some classical is crap. It's all part of the music business, some are good, some are bad. So just give it a chance.

And...I think that's it for now. That's my two sense on things.

Sorry guys for lack of post lately.

It's been busy. And depressing. Why depressing ? Well the marks aren't coming in.
First Math 31 test of the year and i scored a godly 9.5/33 . Fuck yes, that's beautiful.
Also some of you who know me, and have me on facebook you'll be confronted with the endless spam of me trying to sell my computer .. by the way if you're interested :

Anyways, on with the blog post, anyways it's been relative uneventful week with a couple Oilers related posts:
-Goodbye Rob "Sugartits" Schremp, the guy has finally moved onto another franchise, in the last team of the 08-09 season, the New York Islander, i think the man will do good there, if present with some good minutes. I'm imagining the idea of "SCHREMP TO TAVARES ... SCORES!" Haha, expecting at least one of those if he sticks with the big club. If he gets waived (again), and sent down, well that just sucks for him.
-Sam"wise" Gagner starting on the 4th line this season - odd move, but i support it, he's one to have slow starts, so this allows him to get into funk without being pressured to score, and he's able to learn a different side to the game as a 4th liner, learns how to play grittier, and add more dimensions to his game as he continues to develop, as he get's better he can take on the role of the 3rd scoring line centre. As Brule slides down with Moreau and Stortini to form the energy/checking line. Brule has impressed, guy maybe small but he's got huge heart, and did a decent job shutting down Vinny Lecavaliere.

Computer post:
AMD/ATI has released their HD5XXX series.
Two words: FUCKING BIG. Like it's a beast, in physical and computing stature, though however with the Nvidia "fermi" 300 series cards coming out ATI will be in the tough to compete without having their pricing modest.
Oh, and if any of you are building computers .. AMD fan boy in me says .. go AMD. (:

Snipits

1. Cause' that's all she wrote. I wish that I could turn this car around, but she's got a boyfriend now.

2. We are the children that you reject and disregard.

3. Amy was a fighter. She cut like Casuis Clay.

4. I coulda', woulda' shoulda' said it back to you. When you said those three words, I kinda' freaked out.

5. All that she wanted, was a man with a dance. A mashing pole. And matching pans. A mini-van.

6. I am the red in the rose, the flowers on the blankets on your bedroom floor. And I am the grey in the ghost that hides with the ghost behind your closet door.

7. I'm not going. Cuz' I've been waiting for a miracle. And I'm not leaving. I won't let you. Let you give up on a miracle.

8. The only thing I can do now is change the way that I used to be. Cuz' now it seems crystal clear to me.

9. None of you will ever see a penny of my ill-begotten wealth. Stick around and you will see a rich man cry.

10. And you said we'll get out this time. And you will put your hand in mine. Believe it, we're the kids of yesterday.

11. If this is it, we're dead-set and ready for it. With refusing hands and bomb shelters. We're better and brave and bashful and singing it. (Not accurate, it sounds like it, but they don't have official lyrics online. :P)

12. Hello how are you, like your shoes love your hair. Hello how are you, love that shirt you look great. Hello how are you, love your pants and your smile.

13. Is anybody listening? Can you hear me when I call? I'm shooting signals in the air, cuz' I need somebody's help.

14. You sit there in your heart-ache. Waiting on some beautiful boy to save old ways. You play forgiveness, watch it now, here he comes.

15. You say you need me, even though I'm an asshole. Lately I don't get enough sleep, the blacks under my eyes can carry my rosaries.

16. I've been waiting my whole life, just for one *FUCK*, and all I needed was just one *FUCK*, how can you say you don't give a *FUCK*.

17. Boy! You're gonna' carry that weight! Carry that weight for a long time.

18. I will wait forever. Promise me you will stay here. Until the darkness will fade. I'll wait for you!

19. Attention! Pay attention. I'll mention the sickest play!

20. I heard you into my window now in this stinky loveness sits so widow. The tree...(I can't make it out that well!)

21. The way you wear your hat, the way you sip your tea. The memory of all that! No, no, they can't take that away from me.

22. Blow the candles out! Feels like a solo tonight.

23. And I'll never know. Still I'll never know! Someone stand up and then you'll get some answers.

24. If I can gather up the nerve, I'd put my feelings into words. And if I weren't so young, stupid or restless, I might be soon able to forget this. Please just forget me!

25. On my car, counting stars, wishing I could stay, with you! And summer fades to fall. I'd stay with you, but summer fades to fall.

26. I like, where we are, when we drive, in your car. I like, where we are, here.

27. The cold heart will burst. And this is the first. My calm heart will break, when given a shake. I'm lost in love.

28. Playing it safe, he kissed her cheek. Does he still look at you the same way now? The same as 35 years has gone and how?

29. I will try and get on with my life, but i still care for you. Don't leave home. Saying I'll be fine. Yes I may live and get on with some time, but I will not be fine.

30. When I was young, my dad would say, "come on son, let's go out and play". Sometimes it seems like just yesterday. Then I'd climb up the closet shelf, when I was all by myself. I'd grab his hat, and fix the brim, pretending I was him. No matter, how hard I try. No matter, how many tears I cry, no matter, how many years go by. I still can't say goodbye.

Promised

Remember how I promised that I’d do one yesterday? Well! I didn’t lie.

I’ll jump right in since its 1:59am.

I never thought that Boys Like Girls got so much attention, but apparently the song “Two is Better than One” is getting a lot of hype. I mean, I liked it a lot, but man, I didn’t know the rest of the world did. I swear it has to be because of Taylor Swift. Same thing happened with One Republic, once Timbaland ‘touched’ the song, it got a lot of media hype. Now they’re a huge hit. Lucky bastards. I wish Timbaland worked with my band.

I had a lot of ideas for this post a few minutes ago, then I started listening to music, and then continued with my Recombinant DNA Technology worksheet. Man, I absolutely ADORE Google. I found the answers to the worksheet on the internet, so I was saved. Thanks for teachers being unable to be creative and make their own worksheets. Most of the worksheets or assignments I’ve gotten this year can be found on the internet, it’s great. It’s probably part of some teacher assignment swapping thing. Oh well.

I’m curious as to how many people read our blog? I guess I can start an interactive portion here. Send me an e-mail, or post a comment. I’d like to know who you guys are, and what do you guys do? It can be super generic, since I bet it’s either 1 or 2 regulars. I hope there’s a little more. Also, I want to run a long-time thing. If any of you guys have me on Facebook, you might’ve seen the most recent note I posted. It took me a while to make it, so I really wanted people to do it, but nobody really did. That, or nobody was able to do it. But basically, it’s a snip-it of lyrics and then you guess the song name. I’ll use another post to do it, and strike-out the ones that have already been guessed correctly. Put your guesses in the comments section too, or send me an e-mail. I really want to get some e-mails circulating with readers. You can e-mail me at blogspot.fosh@hotmail.com . I just made it, yeah, just to hide my identity. I really want to have a known alias as Fosh. I’ll hook it up to my g-mail account eventually.

Anyways, apart from that, I just downloaded Google Chrome lately. I don’t know what the huge hype about Firefox is, but so far I love Chrome. Personally, I don’t really notice the difference between Firefox and IE, it’s almost the same, except Firefox is more customizable. Chrome, however, has a few cooler features. It has spell check implemented on it. That’s such a useful tool! I don’t have to worry about spelling as much as I do, since I’m only half a grammar Nazi.

The BOTP today...I don’t have one today, honestly. I think this is getting too much anyways. I think I might change it to BOTW (week). If I do one for every post, I’d eventually get to every band, and then it gets stupid after that. I will do a review on the bands that I do too. Maybe I should do a weekly band review...yeah...I will do that. But if we’re doing that, this week I’ll review “Eye Alaska”. They are so damn good. The lead singer wears a backpack on stage though, I think that’s a little weird...

Anyways, that’s my two sense on things.

Sincere...

Alright guys, I have no excuse to as of why I haven't done any blogging for the past week. In return, I'll try to do a blog everyday of this week, before returning to my normal quota - 2 posts a week. I might up it to 3, so you guys will indefinitely get 2 posts a week.

This week I think I'll do a BAND REVIEW - Rather than a CD review. I haven't heard these guys' EP yet, since it's not yet released in CANADA. But I really really like their stuff. They were a band from the BOTP a week earlier, or two. I can't recall.

Anyways...this band is called THE BIGGER LIGHTS ( http://www.myspace.com/Thebiggerlights ).

My favourite song from their 3 demo's is Apocalypse.

Alright I'll start off with 3 things I like about the band:

- The lead singer's voice. It's unique.

- The harmonizing parts of the...I don't even know what he plays, probably guitar.

- How one of the members look like Shaycarl.

- How I can't even name a band that sounds like them.

Negatives

- There are 5 members, but only 3 are fronting.

- Their CD isn't available in Canada.

- The lead singer is ugly.

According to Wikipedia - because I love Wikipedia -the band was signed almost immedietly after forming. This is amazing, because most bands are together for at least 2-3 years before getting a record deal. So for these guys, it's great. PLUS - they make great music. The type of music I would put them as is Pop Rock/Alternative. The catchy lines are great (they have good vocab too!), and most of the time, the guitars have more than just power chords (yay).

However, they have kind of the same sound as any band these days. Power chords and limited amounts of chords dominate their EP. Hopefully, these guys don't sell out, because frankly, they're my favourite band right now.

Anyways, this BOTP is probably a bigger band than these guys. They're 'The Latency'. Check them out on their myspace, like usual, or youtube. I'll link you since most of you won't unless I do link you. http://www.myspace.com/Thelatency.

Well, that's my two sense on things.
