Sing Me A Song Sunday "Little Wonders" by Rob Thomas This song is on the soundtrack for Meet The Robinsons, which is where I first heard it. I didn't see the movie in theatres, I think I was still in Oregon when my dad and sister went. But I saw it a few months ago on tv, then again just a few days ago. It's a nice song that's basically about taking in all the little things that happen everyday and appreciating it all. I think, personally, I need to seriously try to readjust my lifestyle this coming year. It's difficult though, just because of the environment I'm in and the people I'm around at home. But I have to make even more of an effort than last year, because I do not want a repeat of 2009. So, hopefully, my 2010 will be filled with many little wonders, as will all of yours. :]
Speaking of the new year...let's actually rewind on the past decade. I just saw on Reelz a commercial about this special they're having. Something like "the best movies of the decade" that they'll be showing in the next few days. Movies that I predict will be on the list? Here are a few: +Lord of the Rings triology +Harry Potter series +Milk +Batman: Dark Knight +Pan's Labyrinth +No Country For Old Men (even though I turned that movie off 20 minutes in. I just wasn't into it. Sorry. Bree, Kailey and Amelia were all over me because of it; I just couldn't sit through it.) +Hotel Rwanda +Slumdog Millionaire +The Departed +There Will Be Blood +Letters From Iwo Jima +Little Miss Sunshine +Wall-E +At least one Bourne movie +Finding Nemo +Up +Sin City +Whale Rider +History of Violence +Juno
...and a whole bunch more that I can't think of on the spot right now. Hopefully I remember to watch it, whenever it's on.
I had lots of aspirations for 2010. I suppose I can still have them, minus the ones I had as far as school goes. Taking ONE fucking class isn't exactly what I had in mind a few months ago. But, shit happens and we have to deal with it. I can aspire to find a new and better job with a more positive working environment. I honestly, seriously believe that will be really good for me, something I need right now.
Dude. Ten years ago I was in the fifth grade. Man, thinking about that is so surreal. It totally blows my mind how fast time goes by and that I actually get nostalgic at my age. Haha, it's funny most of the time. It's also kinda ridiculous because I have such a good people-memory. I remember some really specific things about my friends, or events we had at school. So for me to think back on something that was really important to me or stood out in my memory is kind of a trip. I wonder if this kind of memory is a curse of a blessing.
Here's some of my favorites from PostSecret today:
Because I'm nostalgic and miss high school. It was shitty at the time, but I realized now once I'm out of it that I had it good there.
I am such a phone bitch. :P But this past week TC, Amanda and Kuni have decided I'm not necessarily a phone bitch, but a PURPLE bitch. Which is incredibly true. :) Although I still think I'm a phone bitch.
This is just hilarious. And not that holy at all.
I watched Lords of Dogtown today all the way through for the first time. Haha. I really don't know why I'd never seen it all at once before. I think I just caught snippets here and there, and saw other parts on YouTube. But since I bought it, I can watch it whenever I want...which will be all the time! I fucking love Emile Hirsch, have I mentioned that before? I think I have. It's interesting because he does a lot of movies that are based off of true stories. Three come to me off the top of my head: Lords of Dogtown, Into The Wild, and Alpha Dog. He's really talented for a 24-year-old.
He also might be in the upcoming movie Hamlet. It's interesting because it's by the same director that directed Dogtown, Catherine Hardwicke. Which, kinda bugged me when I found out, was the same woman who directed Twilight. *major twitch* Ugh. But, she did a really good job with Dogtown. And I've read and watched interviews saying that she's a pretty intense method director. She gets into it just like the actors, which I think is beneficial for everyone working on the project.
OH!!! I almost forgot to mention! TWO of my FAVORITE ACTORS will be in an upcoming movie together!!! LEONARDO DiCAPRIO and JOSEPH GORDON-LEVITT will be in the movie, Inception due for a release on July 16, 2010!!! I'm so fucking stoked. I heard about this movie over the summer and finally, I know a release date. Chyeah! Haha. Here's the trailer if you haven't seen it:
Leo's character is a CEO guy who gets involved in some kind of blackmail scheme, then all these crazy things happen within his mind. It's pretty trippy. Heavy on the science fiction and thriller aspect. Ken Watanabe, Ellen Page, Michael Caine, and Lukas Haas are also in the film. Interesting casting fact: James Franco was originally cast as JGL's part but pulled out due to scheduling conflicts. Personally, I'm rather satisfied with JGL taking over the role. ;) Also, I hope the new Clash of the Titans will be decent. I LOVE the old '81 version. This new one better do it justice.

For some reason when I'm really pissed off, I like listening to angry, alternative, close to screamo music or dirty, loud, bass-heavy rap and hip-hop. To the point where my ears hurt and my head throbs.
Currently listening to: "Demonology of Heartache" by Atreyu
Today/night sucked balls. What a horrible Christmas Eve.
What a horrible 2009!! This year blew so much.
I mean, fuck! No one should be crying on fucking Christmas Eve! Things just...god. You know, screw it. Complaining about it on my blog will do nothing. I'm tired and exhausted and not in the mood for anything except blasting music and falling asleep to it.
Hope everyone else is having a great holiday season. Whoo.
It's been so long since I went to the movies with Mika and dad. Jesus.
I don't think I mentioned this last week, but one night when I was at work, this guy left his movie ticket stub on the counter. It was faced down so I picked it up to see what he went to see. When I turned it over I was so taken aback.
It was a ticket stub from Boondock Saints: All Saint's Day. I had no fucking idea that the movie was out already!!! And I was pissed/sad/shocked all at the same time! I hadn't been to the movies in weeks that I hadn't seen the previews for that movie, so I had no clue it already came out!
God. You guys really don't know how that felt. It was this awful feeling.
I must sound pretty douche-baggy, complaining about how I haven't been to the movies in forever I didn't know what was playing. But considering that going to the movies on the weekend has been the thing I do with my dad, it just goes to show how shitty of a time it's been since he lost his job, we haven't had a car, and work has been equally shitty all at once.
Anyways we saw A Christmas Carol, and Jim Carrey basically was like his other roles, mostly the Grinch and St. Olaf. It was pretty good; especially because they kept the creepy and scariness of the Ghost of Christmas Yet To Come.
Kevin Smith twitter's a shitload. All the time! Good thing I don't get his updates on my phone. That'd be way too many. So does Khleo Thomas, and he's kinda dirty. I mean, I know he's gone into rapping and stuff, but seriously? If you follow him, some of the things he says... Ugh.
HOLY SNAP! Adam Lambert. Some of his songs off his debut album is super good and catchy. I personally like "Aftermath," "For Your Entertainment," "If I Had You" and "Whataya Want From Me."
Also the New Boyz song "Turnt" is kinda fun too. Damn Tiana and her influence on the hip hop songs I listen to! Haha. You can get hyphy to "Turnt" fo sho! Also Sean Kingston's "Replay" is catchy as well.
Hopefully this Wednesday my attempt in getting some old drama kids together to have dinner will work out. Most of them are so flakey. Like apple napples. Already 2 people can't come, so that's junk, but then on the upside, there are 5 of us that already confirmed in going. :) And we'll go see Christmas lights at Honolulu Hale too!
I think it's a little funny that of all the mainland terms/phrases I picked up is "sketchy." It's more funny that I never said it while I was in Oregon. Only once I came back home. Strange.
But yes, Wednesday night I thought I was going to die.
Or get pulled over by the cops.
So since we don't have a car I've been catching the bus, you guys knew that. But this week the mall started closing late, so I get off work at 10:30. I told my manager if she's going to schedule me for closing then I need to work with someone that can give me a ride home. And that would be Kaena. Monday/Tuesday was fine, her mom picked us up. But on Wednesday Kaena got into a car accident earlier in the day so she didn't have her car. She was gonna call her mom, but wanted to hang out with her friend Sarah instead. I know Sarah a little since she comes by the store a lot. The thing is, Sarah's boyfriend was driving.
Don't know if you guys know this about me, but I'm really picky/paranoid when it comes to getting into cars with people I don't know. I've never met this JJ before in my life and I really wasn't cool with getting a ride from him. But Kuni didn't pick up her phone, Sean-Joseph doesn't drive anymore, and I didn't know anyone else in the area that could get me. So I had no choice, really, especially since the last buses were already gone.
He was so fucking stoned. Both he and Sarah were. I swear, they reeked, the car reeked, the air ten feet around the car reeked of pot. It was nauseating for me. And he was swirving, speeding then coming to a quick stop, speeding then coming to a quick stop. I seriously thought we were either going to crash, or he'd get pulled over and then get busted.
I'm wondering if something like that will happen again tonight at work. Since it's a Friday, I know for sure Kaena is gonna go out with her friends. Come to think of it, she does that every night. So if she isn't driving, or her mom, I'm not getting a ride from her. I swear, I'd rather walk all the way back home than get into a car with one of her stoner friends. And I get off at 11:30! Bullshit, I swear.
I was literally scared for my life.
And fuck this Christmas Eve party and Secret Santa BULLSHIT!!! Who makes people give FOUR fucking Secret Santa gifts?! And a Christmas Eve party with coworkers?! Fuck that. Especially because my manager is bitch and isn't including Stacey. God, I need to find a new job.
