M.C. Jamez Blog of DOOM

I wonder if anyone even checks this anymore

2006-06-11T13:57:00.000-06:00

Hey all,

This is my first post since I dropped out of the IMBC ain't it? I don't really know why I'm posting; I've got nothing to say and no one to read what little I do talk of. So I pretty much figured out that I won't be able to see Candi all summer unless I visit her at work. When I work this summer it will be from 8-4 and when she works it will be from 4-some other time. So I get off work right as she starts. I might not work the entire summer, but even if I don't we would only have like 2 or 3 hours to hangout, if that.

Well my birthday's in a month from today. I couldn't really care less though, being fifteen doesn't do anything for me, I'm pretty much only excited because Candi said she'd buy me some Vault for my b-day. She's going to buy a 12-pack too so I'll get to drink Vault from a can for the fist time in my life.

Well I want to do stuff today, but I have nothing to do until like 4 or 5. I'm so bored! Well I'm gonna go try to find some way to kill 2 hours, Jamez out.

I quit...

2006-05-11T21:12:00.000-06:00

As much as I hate to do it, I resign. This competition was awesome, but it's become to stressful and a bit of a hassle. Plus I'm getting behind in school because I've been getting home past 9 on most nights. Good luck to Ful_Abs and Finley, Jamez out.

IMBC Day 40 (for real this time)

2006-05-10T21:03:00.000-06:00

Ok, well I'm in a bad mood and feel like crap so lets make this short and sweet. I'm going to write a review of the show I went to last night just because that will be easy and I'm gonna be up all night doing homework anyway.

Well we showed up and met one of our friends in the front of the line before they opened the doors. Then some awesome guy ran up yelling "Tomas Kalnoky signed my Wendy's napkin!" It seemed like it was starting off great, but then someone was like "Yo, we've been here since noon, I can't let you snake to the front like that." We didn't care though. So we waited half an hour but then we got in. Afterwards there was another half hour of waiting then No Trigger came on. They were alright, they didn't sound very good though. The vocalist kinda bugged me too. He held his mic sideways and just danced around because he wasn't playing anything. They were only on for about 30 minutes though. Then Streetlight Manifesto came on. Omigosh, they rocked. I still can't believe I got to see Streetlight live. They were all business; they came on, played, then left. They only really talked to introduce themsleves, say they were having tons of fun (don't they kinda have to) and to say they were playing one last song. Everyone was yelling "One more song!" at the end, but they just left. The best part was that Grant got Kalnoky's guitar pick and I may have gotten one too (I'll explain later.) Then the Aquabats came on. That was kind of a let down after Streetlight. The thing about the Aquabats was that they didn't focus on music, they were just focusing on showing off. They're a fun group but the people there for the 'Bats weren't there for the music. The setup of the show made a distinct line between the fans. You could easily tell who was there for the music and who was there for the 'Bats. The only problem with the 'Bats was that all the skanking pits got turned into mosh pits. Moshing was fun, but skanking is still better.

Anyways, about that pick. As I was buying a Streetlight t-shirt Candi tells Grant that he lost his pick, so he picks it up. When he gets home he realizes that he got two picks though, one from Kalnoky and the one Candi found. Evidince supporting the idea that the second pick is Kalnoky's: Kalnoky had two or more picks with him; the pick was the same brand, line, colour, and thickness as the first pick; it seems unlikely that somone would bring a pick just like the one Kalnoky has to a show then lose it. Evidence against the idea that the second pick is Kalnoky's: the pick was faded and less more dirty than the first pick, it seems unlikely that anyone who got Kalnoky's pick would just lose it, and obviously: what are the chances of it actually belonging to him?

Ok well I have to go take a shower and do tons of homework, Jamez out.

IMBC Day 40

2006-05-09T23:59:00.000-06:00

...ok, well now we continue. I bet you people were dying with suspense, and now you have to wait until almost midnight on the next day to find out how I was going to finish that sentence as well as the rest of the post. I'm guessing it was mostly the sentence though. No really, here's the rest of that sentence and blog post...now: reason that I like it. Same with Ben and Jeff, but I haven't talked to them in about a week. There's four people that haven't been mean to me that I can think of. Candi's always nice to me, Gurr and Grant were in a good mood or something, and that Tim guy (I really need to check his name because I'm probably getting it wrong and he's probably going to get pissed at me) told me that he wasn't calling me retarded, just that Trish girl that "wants [my] seed."

Well I think that you people want to know what I am wearing to the show for some reason. Either that or I need crap to talk about. It could be either one since it's so hard to guess. I'm going to wear my white button-up shirt with a checkered tie and some jeans. If those button fly jeans that Candi loves don't have holes in them then I'll wear those. Like I've said before: I don't mind holes in my jeans, but skanking/moshing in ripped jeans could be disasterous.

Well Grant apperently had an interesting day. We played basketball at a school today and we got home late so we came up with a rather long excuse. Apperently, Grant and I were walking home when we saw a yard sale sign and that slowed us down. Then we saw this guy on a little mini bike dealie and Grant loved it so it slowed us down again. After that there were some rabits on the sidewalk and we tried to go around them but they multiplied to quickly so we had to swim through the sea of bunnies. By the time we got through Grant had lost a hand but he's apperently 1/8 starfish so his had regenerated as a starfish. Well as you know a starfish isn't a very functional hand so we went to WalMart to purchase a prosthetic starfish but it was from WalMart so it fell apart after like 20 seconds. We then decided to go to Candi's house and used one of her cats as a hand for Grant, but then we ran out of time to make the rest of the story.

Well I'm pretty sure that's over 300 words, so enjoy it, Jamez out.

IMBC Day 39

2006-05-08T22:08:00.000-06:00

Well people, just to prove my lasyness I'm going to make this blog a two-part blog. Now you may ask me how that is being lazy. Well I have to do todays blog and tomorrow's blog but I'm going to that Streetlight Manifesto show (19 hours, 54 minutes by the way) so tomorrow I don't have time to think about what I'm going to write in my blog. So in effect I'm going to make one 600 word blog, but split into two seperate 300 word blogs. Is that genious or what? No it's really not, but just by asking a rehtorical question then answering it I've added more words to my word count OF DOOM. I hope you realize that by saying "OF DOOM" then commenting on it I've yet again upped my word count without having to do as much of the work.

I've decided that several animals have really awesome names. If I had the chance I would share in the awesome nameageishnessisnicity. In fact, when I'm 18 I think I should get my name legally changed to either Vole McScallop or Scallop McVole. I really can't decide which, maybe I'll take a poll or something, because public votes always solve everything. You can't see, but I'm laughing because George W. Bush is the president. Actually I think that I and everyone else should lay off Bush because now that he's not under the pressure to get re-elected he's done a few things that were actually pretty smart.

I think that May 8th is Be Mean to Jamez Day. Seriously, everyone at school (save two or three people) have been mean to me. Even my mother has been all pissy at me today. Plus Jennie and Erik have been making fun of ska music for the sole...to be continued...

Wow...

2006-05-07T21:53:00.000-06:00

Man, this is probably the worst Sunday ever. Just so all you non-Utah people know, that is saying a ton over here. Utah Sundays are boring as watching a mural of painted-on grass grow. But today wasn't boring it just sucked. I have so much homework that's all due sometime this week, but it's not little math assignments. I have huge projects I have to do. I have to memorize a monologue for theater by 8:00 am tomorrow, then write and illustrate a children's book, then write a book report (which is oral), find some old english assignments (don't even ask why because it would take forever to explain) which I deleted because my dad made me clean out all my files on the computer, and like 3 other things I can't remember cuz I'm too stressed out. Then I had to help my deceased friend's family move. I don't know what kind of "food storage" they have, but it weighs a ton. Then my dad made me to yardwork for a couple hours today. The result: my arms hurt so bad that it hurts to make a bowl of friggin' cerial. Then Candi reminded me that I have to blog, so now I'm doing that. Before I blogged I thought I'd go read the latest installment of questionable content, but all I get is a message from Jeph saying that the comic might be a little late tonight. Some break that was. On top of all this crap, I'm getting sick. Either that or allergies. I'm not too fond of it either way.

Just so you guys know: I'm tired, sick, and pissed off so if I get one "don't be so emo" or grammer correction comment on this, I'ma hurt someone. I've already got 2 or 3 comments from "anonymous" that, while helpful, are quite irksome. Not to mention Tim or whatever his name is left me a comment saying that I was retarded for posting something 3 times, but I still can't figure out what that thing is.

In closing: the concert is less than 44 hours away, Jamez out.

IMBC Day 36

2006-05-06T21:37:00.000-06:00

So I listened to No Trigger today. They're playing with Streetlight Manifesto at the concert. Grant told me they sucked, but they're really pretty good. I don't like the vocals so much, it doesn't match the music. The background is kinda like heavy skate punk, like Fenix TX, but the vocals sound all hardcore. I just don't think it seems right. I'm looking forward to seeing them though. This is the best lineup for a show I've gone to. Ok, so this will only be my second show, but still! I think I need to start like a concert scrapbook or something. So when I'm like some 20 year old music bum I can look back at it and be like, "Yeah, that show rocked" or like, "Man, that band sucked so much." Either way it's awesome.

So I started reading Artemis Fowl: The Opal Deception recently. It's a kind of a low-level book, and I'm only reading it because I have a book report, but I kinda like the book. I'm pretty upset that I have to blog right now because I'd kinda just rather be reading that book. Call me crazy, but it's a really interesting book.

I decided that I need pair of Chucks and/or a fedora/porkpie. I guess I'd rather have a porkpie/fedora than the Chucks if I had to pick one, because I already have some checkered slip-ons, but Chucks are always aweosme.

Well there happens to be a book about 2 feet away from me and it says "A very loose canon of american humor" and it surprised me because I thought that "canon" was spelled "cannon" not "canon." Now I'm confused.

Ok well I think I'm gonn go read some of my book then sleep, Jamez out. Just kidding, I'm still a few words short of 300, I hate it when that happens, but just telling you about it gave me the last few words so ha. Now a picture and I'm out.

IMBC Day 35

2006-05-05T18:51:00.000-06:00

So you all (yes, all three of you, shut up) may have noticed that yesterday's post was mislabeled. As you know (if you can count, that is) 4 does not come after 33. I meant to type "34" but missed the 3 or something. I appologize, I guess...it's not that any of you care really, it's just that I'm going to my friend's 16th b-day party in ten minutes and I really need crap to talk about so I can get this done.

So apperently my friend Armen got in a car wreck recently. That's really of no importance to anyone except me, because, like I said, I desperately need tons of crap to write about. According to Armen: Doug and Spencer didn't believe him, but then the tow-truck with his car drove by. Armen probably said "pwn't" or something like that. I really doubt he said "pwn't" though, because he's not an internet nerd. Armen is really more of a metalhead, and metalheads don't often say "pwn't." That is my understanding anyway.

So just six minutes until the party and 4 days until the show. Grant talked to the director lady and she said it was cool if we left dress rehursal at 5. So I guess Grant's father is just picking us up instead of breaking us out, which kinda takes the excitement out of it. I guess it also gets rid of any risk that she'll be like "No dice" when he picks us up, but wutev.

So I beat Kingdom Hearts today. It's not like it's the first time but the feeling of satisfaction will never fade. Or something cheesy like that, I guess.

Well Grant's here and I had 22 words left when I checked so I need to go soon. I think that onions are awesome, especially when atop the head of an emu, emo, emi, eme, or ema. Ok that was random, and just pointless filler, but that just means I'm done without doing all that work! Suckers, Jamez out.

IMBC Day 4

2006-05-04T21:09:00.000-06:00

So today I wore my jeans that got a hole in the knee. I wouldn't normally be opposed to holes in my jeans but this one was in a weird spot where if I bent my leg it would rip more. So I put duct tape on it, but after like first hour the duct tape fell off so I got some paper clips and pinned my pants shut, which looked pretty cool.

So this Trish type person keeps like leaving comments on my blog telling me she wants to AIM me. So to her I must say: I don't use AIM, I'm an MSNM guy and that I have a girlfriend so if she's trying to hit on me, stop. She seems cool enough and all, but I have a girlfriend and no AIM.

I really miss my guitar. I've left it at school for like two weeks and now I'm sad. I think I'll bring it home tomorrow so I can play it, and maybe jam with the Grant man or something. Wow, Grant just signed on Messenger, crazy. By that I mean that Grant is crazy. The first thing he said to me was "Grant is buying me a present." There's no one like Grant, except maybe Kramer.

So I'm eating ice cream with a spoon. According to Shortie (Candi) that's depression ice cream. Like what girls eat when on their periods. I'm not depressed though, and ice cream with a spoon makes me happy, so I don't get it. I'm way exausted though. I've been busy all day. I left for early morning jazz band today and didn't get home until more than 12 hours later. If I was any more tired I'd look like Dick Cheney or something like that. Speaking of Dick Cheney, Dicky Barrett of The Mighty Mighty Bosstones is awesome. I think I should write a set of laws for ska kids. I'd put stuff like "The Mighty Mighty Bosstones must always be refered to as 'The Mighty Mighty Bosstones' (or 'The Bosstones' for short)" and "You must hate No Doubt because they used to be ska but then they sold out." That would be quite fun.

Well it's my 51st post, lets party! I bet you're wondering why I didn't mention my 50th post? Well that's pretty much because I'm lazy and totally spaced it. So...uh...51st post party! Ok, party's over, get out of my URL before I cut you. I mean it, don't make me get the hose. Out now!

IMBC Day 33

2006-05-03T21:30:00.000-06:00

I feel like crap right now. I've been sick for the past few days but right now I'm really tired, I have a headache and I feel like I'm gonna puke. I'm gonna eat some grahm crackers and see if that helps. I can't make toast really because my mother always buys wheat bread. Wheat bread makes for some nasty toast. Plus I was playing with one of the foam covers to my earbuds for my iPod and I accidentally inhaled it. It took forever to cough back up because it was all plegmed to the back of my throat.

So I started reading a webcomic called "Noting Nice to Say" (I think beefy has a link to it on his site somewhere) and it's awesome. It's like Grant and me but punk instead of ska. Although Grant tells me I'm punk. I found this weird because the only punk bands I really like are the Offspring and like Fenix TX. There's some good Sum 41 and Anti-Flag out there but I don't really listen to it.

So I've gone trhough about 3 and a half grahm crackers and I still feel like crap. I don't want to take one of those zinc losenges as I go to sleep either because the taste when you wake up is unbearable. I needed like some friggin' Dave's Insanity Sauce after waking up with that crap.

So there's six days left until the concert but Grant and I are already picking out outfits for the show. I don't know if I feel feminine or n00bish. Either way it's unplesant, like a new pair of boxer-briefs.

Well, I think that's 300 words, so I'll post it then word count it and fix it if it isn't. Jamez out.

Edit: I was six words short, what the crap?

IMBC Day 32

2006-05-02T20:52:00.000-06:00

So I've been reading about moshing, mosh pits, and the like. The more I find out about moshing the more I think it sounds fun. I don't think I'd stay in a mosh pit for very long if I did mosh, but pushing around people you don't know while listening to music sounds pretty cool. Now don't get me wrong, I am and will always be a skanker, but I'm not opposed to trying moshing sometime. Speaking of ska, someone left a comment on my blog the other day asking what a porkpie is. Well I'll tell you, a porkpie is a type of hat, similar to a fedora or trilby, which is associated with both 1920's gangsters (if you've seen the godfather, you know what I'm talking about) and rudies, rude boys, rude girls, ska kids, mods, and to a lesser extent: skin heads. Now someone's going to think that when I say "skin heads" that I'm talking about racist people, but this is not so. A skin head is a bald person who shaved their head as a statement. Skin heads are typically associated with ska music but I'm sure they're not the only people that do that.

So there's exactly one week until the Streetlight Manifesto concert. I couldn't be more excited for this. All day I've been going around singing Streetlight songs and bugging the crap out of Scott. It's pretty much win-win. I can't believe I have to wait a whole other week though, it sucks so bad.

Well, it's getting close to 9:00 and I still have to take a shower, and sleep, and read Questionable Content. I don't know if this is 300 words though. I'm gonna go word count...well, I did and I was thirteen words short so I'm gonna finish this sentence then google image search "bagh" and see what comes up then post it on here, Jamez out.

IMBC Day 31

2006-05-01T20:26:00.000-06:00

It's May Day...yay? So nothing really happened to day. At all...There was school, which was (sadly enough) the most exciting part of my day. I swore and some kid named Kyler Caldwell because not only was he harrassing my friend, he was being a homophobe. Then Candi came to my house after school, but we didn't really do much. Then she left and I got on the computer, then I went to go play some Kingdom Hearts, but I didn't get much done. Then I got on the computer again, and friggin' Skachilles isn't working. I was gonna go check out some awesome ska bands that no one has ever heard of and Skachilles had to go and not work.

So Streetlight Manifesto is coming here a week from tomorrow. I'm way excited. I just wish I had a porkpie to wear to the show. Just because it's Streetlight Manifesto and the Aquabats doesn't mean I can't dress like the rudest of the rude boys.

Man, I hate being sick. I just suddenly got sick over the weekend and just now I sneezed all over my self so bad that I had to go change my shirt. I never get sick but when I do it practically kills me. I can't really miss school though because all my teachers are crazy, plus I have a test tomorrow.

Well Grant started a blog today, I have to go asap so I'll give you the URL tomorrow. It's not very good though, he made a post that was like 3 sentences long. I figured I may as well pimp for him because I have about another 40 words to kill, and he's my friend/horn section/supply of ska.

Well, I guess I have to go take a shower, sleep, try not do die because my sister is play "Hollaback Girl", and whatever else it is I do, Jamez out.

IMBC Day 30

2006-04-30T21:19:00.000-06:00

Well it's day 30, and you know what that means. Firstly, it's the end of the month and only nine days until the Streetlight Manifesto show. Second, we're a month in the IMBC and everyone is sick to death of it. By which I mean Beefy and myself because I honestly haven't been reading the other guys' blogs. I decided that I'm determined to beat Beefy, but the second Beefy drops out I'm gone. Blogging is fun and all but after a month of doing it every single day I need a break. If there's a public IMBC next year (there's been talk of it being closed to just Beefy and his friends) then I'll definately do that again. I think that having a few more people could keep things a little more interesting.

Ya know, I don't like George W. Bush as a president, but he seems like a good guy. Every time I see him talk on TV I can't help but think he seems really nice, although I never agree with what he's saying. Dick on the other hand, that man always looks really really cranky, really really like he has something shoved up his... or really really constipated. Maybe 2 caused 3 which caused 1...

So I'm almost done with Kingdom Hearts, but it seems like its over with too quickly. Unless I get bored before I can pull it off, I'm gonna try to get to lv 99 before I finish the game. It's gonna be kinda hard since I can't remember how to unlock the Pegasus Cup at the Coloseum dealie. I'm guessing that I need to beat the time trial at the Hercules Cup but I'm just smart enough to up the battle level before I try it.

Man, I'm watching the news and they're making a maypole, what is this crap? I didn't know they still did those. All the people making it look/sound like hippies too. Then there was this kids "bouldering" where they would go up in the mountains (which in utah is like 20 minutes away so it's not that nuts) then climb huge rocks just for the heck of it. That looks like tons of fun, I should go try it some time.

Alright, well I'm almost at 400 words so I'm done, Jamez out.

IMBC Day 29

2006-04-29T20:30:00.000-06:00

Another one of those days where I didn't really do much. I woke up this morning and turned on the PS2 to play some Kingdom hearts and until like 2:00 I didn't even get out of my room except to eat. Grant called me around that time and yelled at me over the phone (we were gonig to a movie) until I got up and took a shower. So I did that at Grant called like 5 times and said that he was on his way. So we went to go see Stick It which wasn't all that good really. Then from the theater we walked to the mall and hung out there for a while. One of our friends (who wishes to remain nameless) climbed from the balcony of the second floor down a column to the floor. It took him forever to do it though so Candi was late to her babysitting job which she is currently at. I was going to go play some Kingdom Hearts right now but then I remembered that I had to blog still, and now Candi just signed on to MSN Messenger so I guess I'm staying on the computer for a little while longer.

So I'm still excited for the Streetlight Manifesto show. It's in ten days I think. It's gonna be awesome. Streetlight Manifest is like the second best band in history, and I get to see them live. It's gonna be so cool.

So one of my friends is being all PMSy at everyone. For the past week or so she's be a jerk to my friend Kibbles for no reason at all. Then last night she gets all pissed off at me just because my parents said I couldn't go to a movie. I'm pretty sure she's still mad at me and Kibbles and neither of us did a single thing to her.

Wow, iPods really hold a charge well. You'd expect that if you didn't charge it for 3 days then the charge would drain a lot, but it still has like half the batter left and it wasn't full before.

To summarize the above: I've had a busy, complicated, and drama filled day that still managed to be useless.

IMBC Day 28

2006-04-28T22:41:00.000-06:00

So I didn't do much today. After school I had rehearsal for some Shakespeare thing I'm doing for school. The Shakespeare thing was a lot more fun than I thought it would be, but it still wasn't that great. After that I was going to go to a movie with some friends but I had to look after my little sister for the night. I played Kingdom Hearts (that seems to be a reoccuring theme in the IMBC doesn't it?) for hours on end. It was a quarter after 10 before I even thought to check the time.

I almost considered dropping out of the IMBC. For the last week or more I've been doing posts when I would like to be sleeping, and I'm pulling stuff out of my butt just so I can get the 300 words.

Man I wish my life was like Sienfeld. If my life was like that I would never run out of things to talk about. I mean, this show goes on forever about just buying a cake.

I swear, Candi's really pissed off at me, but whenever I talk to her she's just like "No, I'm fine." Um...yeah, I guess I have nothing else to say about that, I'm just trying to get more stuff to say. This is kinda starting to piss me off, If Beefy drops out then I'm going to also. 3rd place isn't all that bad anyway. This contest was really fun during the first two weeks or so but we're almost a month into it and everyone's just losing steam it seems like. Man, I really want to sleep right now but I still have a few more sentences to write.

In closing: my show's almost over, it's past 11, I'm tired as hell, and I'm done with this crap for tonight, Jamez out.

RAPING PIGEONS

2006-04-27T20:49:00.000-06:00

I will be the first to admit that the title to this blog is beyond the most extreme reaches of weird, but sadly enough that sums up my day. Figuratively of course. After school Grant and I came to my house just long enough to play some video games then go to his house and do our homework while listening to ska. We somehow came up with the idea of doing a "rape" album. By which I mean we take a bunch of awesome songs and replace all the verbs with the word "rape," but then we decided that would just be offensive. We came up with some awesome ones but "raping pigeons" was the best, especially the part where it says "I raped home, raped a guinea pig I raped in my mates fridge, raped the thing around its throat, raped it in the bath it wouldn't float." I swear there is a gas leak at Grant's house. One time I spent the night and we stayed up until 3 just laughing at a Winsor Pilates infomercial for no reason at all. Even five minutes after we turned the TV off I continued to laugh, which caused Grant to laugh, it was a joyous time.

So have any of you heard of the Parka kKings? They're and awesome ska band that for some reason put all their music on the internet for free. I downloaded "23 Skidoo" because Grant refused to shut up unless I did and it is awesome.

My computer keeps stalling for no apperent reason and its forcing me to type entire sentences without an idea what I'm doing. It's rather getting on my nerves. I'm making a suprisingly little amout of mistakes under the conditions though.

Ok well I have homework and Kingdom Hearts (one not two) to do, so I'll see you later internet. Jamez out, after I post my media file for today in the form of a graphic image.

Gir is about to eat the hell out of that friggin' cupcake man.

IMBC Day 26

2006-04-26T21:47:00.000-06:00

Won't somebody tap her on the shoulder and tell her blog goes on?-Catch 22

Hey internet, I think I'm gonna go find my old recorder (of the instrument variety) and pick it up (of the learning it variety) again. It has a pretty cool sound as far as cheap, plastic instruments go.

So someone hit me with a System of a Down CD today. It was a burned copy so I don't think I'll drop dead from the mainstream "nu-metal" ishness, but I might become gravely ill. If I drop dead, tell Tomas Kalnoky I love him...and Candi...At least it's not like Slipknot or anything, I would have body parts falling off left and right until I was in millions of pieces. Ok, that was kinda graphic, but so are all Slipknot songs. I heard "Dualty" by Slipknot and it was so sucky that it made me want to really "push my fingers into my eyes." It was really just that bad.

So I was in this "honor band" thing at school. Pretty much they hand you music and say "You're doing this or we'll cut you." Except for the "we'll cut you" part. I seriously had no option, and the conductor man was kinda stupid, he would always stop us at random places during rehearsals. It's done now though, so I guess its fine.

I'm going to see how long I can draw out the fact that I'm drinking a Gatoraide. Here goes: I'm drinking a Cascade Crash flavored Gatoraide brand energy drink, the bottle is open with the lid laying next to it. The label is mostly different shates of blue, except for the oh-so-familiar orange lightning bolt logo. I just consumed the last portion of the beverage, it tastes slightly of blue raspberry.

In closing: yay sleep! Jamez outnage.

I hate school. The entire concept is pretty stupid. I never learn anything except for in band, German, and math. I mean, band and German are just classes I'm taking for fun/required credit, that's never going to help me in life, and the crap I'm learning in math is, well, crap. I really don't think I'm ever going to need to graph hyperbolae except for like on a test or something. I swear, I'd go crazy without my iPod. Thankfully I can store it in my pocket with the headphones running up my shirt to the end of my sleeve on my sweatshirt, so that when I lean on my hand I can enjoy the soothing sounds of Beefy or Streetlight Manifesto. I don't see why they don't just let us use iPods at school, I'm not going to listen to most of my teachers anyway, so pretty much I either listen to music, or I'm not listening to anything. I mean, my friend got his taken away during a spirit week assembly, how bogus is that? Who really cares if he's yelling "Go Five Iron Frenzy!" instead of "Go 9th grade?" I actually would prefer the former.

Well I hope Beefy and/or Jones don't/doesn't drop out of the competition. If I don't beat Beefy in a neck-to-neck race to the finish then it's not really that exciting. I'll probably lose before then, but that's not the point. So I'm guessing that Posyden will be out, I just got the vote email, and the general idea was that posts were to be in at the poster's local timezone, though not all people agree. I'm interested to see the results of this vote, even though we've lost about half our competetors thus far.

In closing: it really pisses me off that Blogger doesn't let me copy when I right-click this window, so I have to ctrl-C it, Jamez out.

P.S. I don't remember if I need to do a picture or not, so here's one anyway:

When they come for me I'll be sitting in my desk with a blog in my hand wearing a bullet-proof vest-Catch 22

Have you ever noticed that there's two kinds of preps? There's the kind of prep that's always nice to people for no reason and says stuff like "I like the faux-hawk, Jamez!" to you even though you're (by which I mean "I'm") one of those nerd/punk guys. On the other hand: you have those preps that are like whores (yes even the guys) that do nothing except wear/listen to/say/think what is cool, which involves putting down everyone that isn't their kind. I hate those second kind. There's some particular ones (cough)AMANDA MORRISON(cough) that could go...oh I dunno...fall off a cliff for all I care.

So how about that Posyden? He might be getting voted off the island, or rather, out of the competition. Apperently he thought he could post whenver as long as it was no later than 24 hours after his last post. Everyone else seemed to be under the impression that you had to have your post posted by 12 o'colck a.m. in your timezone.

I want you all to know that there is one fortnight, 2 hours, and 4 minutes until the day of the Streetlight Manifestio and Aquabats concert. You will all sleep easier tonight knowing that. If I hadn't told you then you guys would have been up all night wondering just when Jamez was gonna go to that darn show (because when it's over he'll finally shut up about it.)

Well recently Fox 13 started a "QuickCast" dealie, where they pretty much go over everything "important" in the time span of 5 minutes. This would be a cool idea if it cut into the regular news time but all it does is make the Simpsons another 5 minutes later. I mean seriously Fox 13, wtf is up with you guys?

In closing: I still have 4 minutes until I can watch America's longest running animated sitcom thanks to some jerk-off that decided we need the news twice, Jamez out.

This is gonna be another one of those posts wihtout one of those lyrics things for an intro:

Have you ever noticed that you don't use your little finger to eat chips? I swear it, eat any brand of chips that leaves evidence on your fingers. Your little finger will be clean. I've tried it about three times today, that one finger was always clean as a whistle. Actually, whistles aren't all that clean. They allways got like spit up in them and whatnot, I've honestly never met anyone that takes good care of a whiste. They're always chewed up and slimy and grody and crap.

Teenagers are really stupid, have you ever realized that? I mean I have this friend who was allegedly flirting with my other friend, and everyone's making a big deal out of it. They're all like "OMFG DID YOU SEE DAMIK FLIRTING WITH JORDAN OMFGWTFBBQROFLMFAO" Does it really matter if Damik was flirting with Jordan? Neither of them is in a relationship, Jordan's a girl, Damik's a guy, I honestly can't see anything wrong with it.

I think that Sundays suck, why can't Fox show the Simpsons at ten on Sunday. No one cares about you're friggin' "FOX THIRTEEN SPORTS PAGE WITH MIKE RUNGE!"

So about that concert, apperently the Awesome Father of Grant Miller is going to get us out of dress rehearsal so we don't have to risk missing the show. And suddenly when it seemed all our problems were solved, the tickets state that we have assigned seats. I've never been to this "In the Venue" place so I'm keeping my fingers crossed that there's a dance floor. I mean, what's Streetlight Manifesto without tons of skanking with reckless abandon? It's still really friggin' awesome, but it would be even more awesome (if possible) with tons of "skank[ing] like you stole something."

In closing: no, screw that, I'm just done, Jamez out.

Punk meets nerd

I can't wait to tell you all about her (he can't wait to tell you about his new blog)-The Suicide Machines

It's Candi's birthday today, the big one-six. I guess that's pretty cool, I mean, she's way stoked. I'm pretty excited for the party, but I'm pretty much indifferent to her being sixteen. The party's not for another 3 and a half hours though, I mean, what am I supposed to do for that long?

So have any of you guys seen a Relicore comercial? It's a dieting pill that reduces cortisol which will also relieve stress (somehow) and they advertise it as a "feel good" pill. Am I the only one that thinks that makes it sound like a narcotic? You almost expect them to say it's a "special" pill then have like some guy pop up on the screen and wink.

So have any of you guys ever seen the origional Star Trek? Like "The Next Gen." is pretty cheesy but the first one is like fake cheese. It's like the Easy Cheese of TV. Plus they always seem to have some sort of romantic sub plot tacked on. I think that I'll stick with ol' Jean Luc Picard.

So how weird is it that I'm doing a blog at 3 in the afternoon? I usually wait until 10:00-10:30. I'm really only doing it this early because I don't know if I'll have time after Candi's party dealie. I mean, it only goes until ten (I think) but I'll probably exausted by the time I get home, assuming that there will be awesome dancing and crap like that goings on.

Man, Less Than Jake used to be so much better. I mean, don't get me wrong, Anthem was awesome, but I was listening to "All My Friends are Metalheads" today and I have to say that Hello Rockveiw is a lot better than their new stuff.

In closing: that enough random ranting for today, Jamez out.

Who's blogging now? (who's blogging now?)-Catch 22

Today I burned myself on a hot glue gun. I tell you now, internet, you would never guess where. On my wrist, and not even like the top, like the underside. I still can't quite figure out how I managed to get burned there. It's one of those annoying burns too where you get like those white heat blisters.

So I'm doing this Shakespeare thing for school, and we have a dress rehearsal on the same night as the Streetlight Manifesto concert. It ends at the same time as the show starts, and they'll probably have soundchecks and an opening band first anyway. I guess I could always ask if I can duck out right after I'm done with my thing. I guess it wouldn't kill me to miss part of the show...as long as I don't miss any of the Streetlight Manifesto part. From what I've gathered, there will be the opening band, then either No Trigger or Streetlight, and finally the Aquabats because the Aqubats are the main part of the show. I'm hoping that No Trigger is before Streetlight Manifesto so that way even if I miss anything it'll just be generic punk No Trigger. It's really gonna be a great show though. I'm just hoping that there will be skanking, because Streetlight is the only ska band playing, the Aquabats used to be ska-ish but now are quite a bit different.

I don't know why I'm even doing the play. I was litterally poked into taking the part. I only have five lines, but still. Why must the dress rehearsal be on the same night as the concert? My part's at the ent too.

In closing: I think all of you will sleep easier tonight knowing that in Sandy, Utah there is 6 minutes left until 10 o'clock pm, which is also known as 22:00 in a 24-hour clock time keeping system.

Kicking pigeons in the park, we had to stop cuz it got dark.-[Spunge]

Ok, so I couldn't fit the word "blog" into the lyrics above, but I had to do that song. I heard it today and imediately decided it was an awesome song. It made me realize that I'm pushing my band the wrong direction. I don't need complicated ska songs, I need simplistic, happy, random ska songs. It's an awsesome song, if you can find it then I suggest checking it out.

Today's not a good day for blogging. I have a headache and I'm pretty sad (excuse me emo-ness.) I was joking around with one of my friends (who just happens to be a girl) and apperently one of my other friends thought we were "cuddling" and she took a picture and showed it to Candi. Needless to say, that didn't go over well. And yes, for you people that haven't figured it out yet, Candi is my girlfriend.

So today is national weed day, did you know that, internet? Apperently "420" is police code for marijuana, and seeing as it's the 20th day of the 4th month: in any place in the US the date would be 4-20. European people are all logical. Really, what's with their units of measurements making sense? Why must they base thier length measurments on tens and their dates from smaller units to larger units? It just makes no sense to have it make sense.

Well, internet, I guess I need to go take a shower. It's one of those "spirit days" at school so I've been in my PJs all day. I smell like a combo of new hoodie and BO. I would be soaked in running water right now if I didn't have to type a few more words. What gives with you people's 300 word limit? Curse you and your reasonable rules!

In closing: stuff that doesn't suck, and even stuff that does suck, sucks, Jamez out.

I don't need anyone, I don't need anyone, I don't need anyone to tell me how to blog-Catch 22

Do you guys ever watch Ed, Edd n' Eddy? I love that show. The best line they've ever put on the show is the one where they flash forward to where they're old and Ed says "Cribbage gives me gas, Eddy!" It's hilarious because the way he says it is just so senile and crap.

So what's with all these movies featuring animated animals lately? From what I can tell Madagascar, Over the Hedge, and the other one about the city have the same plot. I mean, if I didn't want to see Madagascar then why would I want to see rip offs of it? Heck, even if I did like it then I wouldn't want to see rip offs of it. That's like if Fall Out Boy did a cover of your favorite song and totally screwed it up, but you listen to it anyway.

I think I should hijack Candi and move to Washington state. Everyone I've talked to that lives there thinks it's awesome. Maybe that's just because Kennie thinks everything is awesome, but whatev. Speaking of Kennie: the Symphonic Kennie movement is going well. We have so far a guitarist, trombonist, oboeist, and possibly a violinist. Now we just need a vocalist...I would but I can't sing while playing the guitar, and even without one I'm no Tomas Kalnoky. And speaking of Tomas Kalnoky (don't you love how I can link a whole blog into a single paragraph if I wanted to?) : 20 more days until the Streetlight Manifesto/Aquabats concert. I need to either make a paper chain or find one of those countdown things for ur computer. I'll ask Candi where to get one, she always has one. Speaking of Candi (now I think I'm just being mean) : It's her birthday Saturday and I still don't know what I'm going to get her. On top of which, I have about a 2-3 dollars to my name. I'm hoping my parents can catch this one, or at least loan me some cash.

Well I'm up-n-over the 300 word minimum. In closing: I need to go 14 minutes ago, Jamez out.

Yo get up and do summit random, yo blog it now-Lady Sovereign

Does anyone know who the "piss" Lady Sovereign is? I sure don't. I just Google'd "random lyrics" because I'm so damn busy (gasp! he said the condemn word!) I dunno if that song is named "Random" or not, but it looks pretty poser-ish. Ring a bell? (I'm pointing that the top of the screen where it says "M.C. Jamez" in case you didn't know.) I'm really busy with homework and dealing with girls, which is a fancy way of saying I have no idea what the hell is going on. I think that I'm in a fight with Candi but she hasn't told me yet. Don't you hate it when girls do that? I swear, not even girls understand them.

So I bought my Streetlight Manifesto show tickets today. According to the nice SmithsTix lady, if Tomas Kalnoky is abducted by aliens we totally get a refund, so that's a bonus. On the tickets it says "The Aquabats" though. I mean, sure it the Aquabats are the main event, but it should still read like "Streetlight Manifesto and the Aquabats" or something. It's just not fair to the second best band in the existance of the universe.

So my friend Heather and I are talking about swearing. I think that it's an excellent way to put emphasis on a point. She thinks it's offensive even if it's not harming anyone. That's Utah for you. I think on all the entering Utah signs it needs to say "If you can read this your rights are already gone." I'm really pretty pissed off at everything right now. I need a day to myself, but no way in Hell that's gonna happen. I still can't believe they suspend people now for swearing at school.

In closing, internet: everything just really sucks, Jamez out.
