This Song: For The TrueAnd Passionate Lovers Of Music

this song:
i have this song: to sing
certian words must be screamed
rather than be sung or spoken:

i am alive and vigorous...

...as they toil without love.
fight without purpose,
and live without passion...

i am alive and vigorous.

in this song: is where i belong.

within these moments
there are no outsiders.
within the body of the song:
time stands still.
one is al,
and all is beautiful -
the beautiful moment of song and passion.

we will all sing.
we will all dance.

if a human's nature is to war,
this song:
is a battleground,
and this voice,
a weapon
one thousand voices -
or trumpet call
to arms.

passion's promise;
true love's reward -
a pure expression
in truth and sincerity.

passion's promise:
true love's reward, is this song:

what will become of this song:...

pray not a fallen banner,
or screamed words to the deaf,
for life is weary without song, or sound of harps.

this is a song for the impassioned.
this is strength for the heards on sleeves -
a shining sentiment where voices soar
and melod wells tears in the eyes.

we will all sing the same song,
this song,
together.

Wondering

Living one life at a time.
I ask why me?
I ask again but fate prevails.
I wonder am I being ignored,
Forgotten, lied to, or was time lost why me?
It hurts, I cry
I Fall, I get up
You smile and I become nothing again
Why me?

this is just creepy.

I haven't posted in a long time so....

looks like everyone else went into the other blog, oh well.

August 29, 2004 I want to go to corpus to go see the queers. It would be awesome if I could go, because dynamite boy is gonna be there, as are the Jr. High Jinx. Who have just changed their name to the High Jinx because people kept asking them how old they were. i just got a birthday present from my momma, IN A BATMAN BAG! it was so awesome. I'm so keeping this.









No limits on freedom, security does not lead to justice :P. tee hee :D

Poem for helena, even though she doesn't read the blog.

Her name is helena
She’s as sweet as they come
I cannot complain
For a thing that she’s done

She promises marriage
Even though we still cheat
I’d still buy her a carriage
And massage her feat.

She lives in my province
Yet so far away
But i‘m still convinced
I will see her some day.

This poem doth blow
I really must say
But I want you to know
I won’t go away

That sounded real bad
even kind of creepy
So please don’t get mad
or it will get gawky (that means awkward)

So how do you close
a poem so crappy?
I just hope she knows
It's to make her happy.

wey just make it out of mexican culei

yes peopleeeeeee i said it culeiiiiii which means kool-aid in english us mexicans we really don't give a shit how to pronounce stuff so lick my balls....

Gtg Bye

I wanna be Lik MOBY and drink tea

This is the first time in a while I have gotten a chance to write. I've been going through a lot of training in Kingsville. So that is why I, Carlos, or Diego have rarely written this past week. Rennie and Fredo don't go through training. They are jobless bums right now. Those bastards. GET A JOB!!! I was watching a thing on VH1 (that channel that used to play music) about vegans. They are freaks. But man are they hot. Natalie Portman, Amy Smart, Fiona Apple, and Alicia Silverstone are all vegans. Damn hot Vegans. The show made me crave some tea. Hibiscus tea to be exact. I love Hibiscus tea. Otherwise known as Agua de Jamaica. Here is a recipe for it. You can also make it in a tea maker like you would any other tea, and you can buy it in a powder form and just add sugar but that just isn't the same. If you are in the valley try to go to Taco Palenque. They sell it there. Man I want some tea.

nothing in particular

well i went to san antonio the other day, it was actually yesterday and today, anyways, i entering san antonio i saw this really cool gigantic sign that said "god bless tacos" and a small tear of mexican pride fell thru my cheek. then i giggled.
man san antonio rocks, i wish kingsville had but a slice of the shit san antonio has, well at least now we have a stupid wendys (so we can change variety on that all american platter, maybe the only american platter, called a cheeseburger).
im not all down with cheeseburgers as of recently, last time i sat down to eat a big mac i was enjoying it like a little kid, gorging in the horrid delicousness of those patties, and prior to the last quarter of the mac, i was urging to throw up. suddenly the taste became hideous. maybe its just me that got used to eating real food at home. and im not saying that those transgenic burgers are bad, im saying that when you eat real food and go back to that crap its really something else. fast food sucks. but at the same time i cant stop eating it. i wonder whats on the food.
but i guess im drifting away here. well i went with my parents (on san antonio) to red lobster, and well got a platter with a lobster in it. i couldnt resist it, so i grabbed the lobster and made it dance. i know rennie, neto, checo and carlos woulve loved to see that. it was cool, my dad just went "y ke chingados significa eso??!!". i even sang the little song i made "im a dancing lobster, im a dancing lobster" while its little lobster feet where flabbing about in the table. then i ate him. muahahahahaha.
then we hit some couple of furniture stores, cuz im probably gonna move from nuevo laredo (in mexico) to laredo (in the us) sometime in the next three months. its alright, i mean i still love mexico, and really dont want to leave it, its home, but seems that this place is pretty fucked up. so its better to go to a "safer" place. the way i see it, safe is not really that. when someones gonna rob you, hurt you or do whatever the fuck theyre gonna do to you, it wont matter if the place is safe or not, it will happen at a given time.
on the other hand i finally got my coheed and cambria comic book. i fucked up on the stupid zip code, so i had to wait two more weeks to have it be delivered correctly to laredo. and as i told rennie already, it friggin rocks! claudio is a very good storyteller so far, lets hope it continues that way. i also got this badass sticker of george w, bush. it has the macdonalds sign, but inverted. a "w" for you town folk. and it says george w bush, over two million layoffs. its funny. jajaja.
im really bored, im downloading the new saint seiya cartoon, the hades saga (caballeros del zodiaco), there are only 13 episodes, but it takes fucking forever, cuz the place im getting it is well....a secret, but i have to make a line of like ten other people who download it, so i have to wait til these slow sad fucks finish before i can go. but its worth it. i already have like 4 episodes and 8 of escaflowne. pretty cool. if youre into anime of course. if you dont thats ok, you should really try to watch it, these ones are cool.
and well finally sunday will be the day im gonna be back in kingsville. i wanna say hi and fuse with rennie so we can make retarded stuff.
oh and rennie, thank you for that bad mouthing jesus. it made another catholic proud.
praise alah!
........well im off.
cheers

Not for the faint of heart

But its hilarious!
http://www.ebaumsworld.com/swearingjesus.html

For some queer ass reason

I keep getting the games that fuck up on me! it pisses me off! there I am, I go and buy a game called beyond good and evil, it's fucking badass by the way, but then, into the middle of the game, what happens? it gets fucking stuck. FUCKING GAAAAAY!!

Second, Conan is God....well not really, but god probably made him on the eigth day.

third, I'm reading the book "about a boy" or somethign like that, its fucking great.

damn them quotes

seems like the past few posts are part of a fad on quoting people
its annoying, we're gonna see each other soon, so save the quotes for when we discuss over some coffee and donuts at krispy kreme (yes i endorse krispy kreme, i endorse it for the free donuts....yum!)
so anyways, if we're gonna quote im just gonna put a few
"you're tacky and i hate you" - fancy pants
"just tap it in, just tap it in" - chubbs peterson (the golf trainer in happy gilmore, thanks to neto for the info on thsi gusy name)
"where is your mercilful bitch now" - mole
and those will make you think for a while
in the meantime im gonna go feed some dancing lobsters to my ferrets
much love
cheers

or if you're tired of ol' henry

But I, being poor, have only my dreams. I have spread my dreams under your feet. Tread softly because you tread on my dreams.

W.B. Yeats.

I love you too Ro

:)

aside from that, according to recent events, it appears everyone is sick and tired of me bitching, well if you are, don't read my posts. read my happy ones. you can tell the difference between my happy and bitchy quotes by their length.....except for my musical definitions ones, but read those, they are very interesting. And I would like to know that my work did not go in vain.....even though i'm like the only emo kid out there.

2. I already said i'm sorry to you know who.....and you kind of succeeded in getting me mad, but your jokes make me happy again :). Da-Dum-Ding!

3. josh, you're cool.

4. I wish I could change things, I really do, I wish I could make the world a better place, but I'm just one person. but then again hey, Jesus was one person (yeah stupid analogy). All I'm saying is that we don't know what our futures are. the only thing we are aware of is our mortality. And maybe in the end, I will make the world a better place, or maybe not. the latter one makes me sad though. So I feed myself these delusions that i will succeed in the former.

in the end.

Go confidently in the direction of your dreams! Live the life you've imagined. As you simplify your life, the laws of the universe will be simpler.

Henry David Thoreau

I bet only a few of you knew how much of a big fan of HDT i am. well now you know, I admire him a lot. After all, he was just one person too.

Monterrey rules/blows

I finally went to Antropolis, it was super fucking badass. I didn't mosh because poor angel was bored, so i just danced around a little. there were some noooiiiice girls there. We should go there more often fredo.

second, thank you neto for that advice, but i rather just post it on the blog, I mean cmon, it shows people how interesting i am.....

and third, i'm sleepy.

jokes (now in spanish!)

my friends were telling jokes on the way back from monterrey, and i thought they were funny:

iba una ranita nalgona caminando por las vias del tren, y pos asi de la nada le pasa un tren y le corta las nalgas. pos entonces la rtanita como loca se pone a buscar sus nalguias cuando de pronto pasa otro tren y le mocha la cabeza.
la moraleja es, no pierdas tu cabeza por un culito.

todos a bordo!
y bordo murio aplastado.

que sale entre la cruza de un burro y un conejo.
los ojos del conejo.

estaban varios soldados en un barco de la marina. el comandante dice Perez! y Perez dice "PRESENTE!", de nuevo el comandante dice Ramirez! y ramirez contesta "PRESENTE!", y asi se va el comandante tomando lista hasta ke llega con Carmelo, quien muy amaneradamente dice "preseeeeeenteeee". el comandante furioso le grita como dijo, y pues carmelo asi le podia contestar.
no pos carmelo estaba preocupado y le dicce otro soldado (notando ke carmelo era homosexual). "mira guey, a la otra ke el comandante diga tu nombre, aprietate los guevos bien duro y pos podras decir presente" y pos asi kedo.
total, al otro dis llegan con carmelo y carmelo grita "PRESENTE!" y el comandante le dice "ASI ME GUSTA!".
y pos de pronto el barco se hunde y carmelo empieza a gritar "comandis comandis, cuidado con el tiBUROOOOOOOOOON!"

estaba la mujer maravilla abierta de piernas a lo lejos mientras el flash la admiraba. y pos el flash pensaba, nambre me voy de pedo ago lo mio y ni cuenta se da. dicho y echo, se lanza pero como pedo en jet y llega y hace lo suyo.
despus de irse la mujer maravilla le dice al; hombre invisible, sentiste eso? y el le contesta si, senti algo calientito en el......
ai les dejo eso pa su imaginacion

estaban dos compadres sentados en una mesa. y uno saca una botella y la pone en la misma.
"que pedo conpadre! nos mamamos??"
"y la botella es para darnos valor o ke??"

y pos esos son de los ke me acuerdo, ahi le ponen mas
cheers

Fredo And Rennie

Now you know I love you guys. Rennie, you are my brother. Fredo, you are my evil ferret overlord. I want to teach you guys a little something with all respect. When you click on each other's profile you can send emails from there. It gives you the email address and everything. This page is for funny shit that you want to share with the world. This page is not for heart to hearts between each of us. Especially since in a couple of weeks we will all always be within walking distance of each other (it is possible, though I will never attempt it again, to walk to Fredo's place). So please try to keep your posts directed at the world and not just at people who you should be able to email anyway. (Please ignore the fact that this post is an example of what I am telling you not to do. Do as I say not as I do, motherfuckers.)

Fredo you doo doo head

You erased the phone number, now I have zero means of calling you, I've been tryin gto call you a few times but nobody ever picked up. Now i'm sad, i really wanted to go to antropolis. post it again as soon as possible!

Who pissed in my room?

So here I am back at school. I am technically homeless since they have someone else living in my home. I am staying with my fellow RA bobby only bobby doesn't know it yet. I am sleepy. And my room smells like pee. It is also cursed. Bad way to start training

PS Fredo it might not be a good idea to publish your phone number on the internet where all sorts of crazy people can see it. Even tough it was your intention to give it to one of those crazy people (Rennie).

PPS Diego, please don't insult the readers. We don't have many.

ciao fredo

Alright, here-s what's gonna go down, if you're gonna get your ass to monterrey before monday, like today, tomorrow, friday, saturday, or sunday, call me up. I will email you angel's number when he gets here cuz i don't remember it and its too long. Also, if you're gonna be going to monterrey in the weekend, and are planning on staying there the following week, make sure you tell me this. My original plan is to leave monday, If you come to monterrey, we can go to antropolis like on monday (if you ge here during the weekend, if you get here tomorrow, or something like that, we can always go during the week.) and I leave on tuesday.....

confused?

ok, here's the short version....
if you arrive in monterrey on the weekend, tell me as soon as possible, and we could go to antropolis on monday.

if you arrive today, tomorrow, or friday, call me as soon as possible and we could go to antropolis sometime during the week or weekend. not today though because I'm going to this place called Nirvana's, I probably won't like it but angel really wants to take me there.

so yeah.

ciao.

Guess WHo???

and yeah ender rocks!
cheers

Redundant

It may come to no suprise, but i have been bored out of my mind the last week. During this last week i had alot of time to think about stupid shit here, and stupid shit there. I ultimately came to the conclusion that theres shit everywhere. However, i choose to not mention about 95 percent of what i thought about. For you non math people that means multiply .05 times what i thought about and you get a rough estimation of what im talking about. If your confused at this moment i throw my penicl in your general direction. Now, i know Neto has, but has anybody ever sat down and just looked a there day. Then after looking at there day looked back and remembered the day before. How many things did you do exactly the same? Are we all creatures of habit, and routine. I personally hate beilieving that theres some outside force, controlling my life (cough cough fate). However, yesterday while driving to get food at Wendy's with checo, we did something quite silly. While driving there we were talking about supid shit here and stupid shit there, and we ended up IN Wal-Mart. We were not even going to Wal-Mart. What lead us to that place, at that time for no reason, (ren dont say cuz were idiots or you get a pencil thrown at you too) ? After about three minutes of laughing about how we ended up where we were not supposed to be. I realized shit shit, i am a creature of habit too, and personally i dont like it. So im gonna make it a point to not fall into a routine, as difficult as this may seem. I feel that if i fall into a routine, life will just fly by. If i attempt to control it i can savor it more. For example while sitting in class I and many of us day dream. Why do we day dream? I day dream b/c it just plainly makes class go by faster, and i can resume my day, which involes a good chunk of scracthing myself. However, by falling into this sorry circle of redundancy, i begin to feel that i just daydreamed through life. That i just did what i was predetermined to do and remained as predictable as the next fuck in the line. Well how boring is that? I dont want to be boring, i try and remember some quote from some fuck that i dont know, and i want to beileve it to the point were i feel like i accomplished something. "the greatest risk is not taking " I love this quote i understand this quote, but how many times have i actually followed through. Sadly enough i cant think of a single occation in which i have. "If you build castles in the air your work need not be lost that is were they should be, now build the foundations under them" I feel that ive never wanted anything to the point were i had to fight and work for it. So what is my life. Redundant?????? Not anymore. Well at least i say that now, but will i fall again into a pattern of dullness? I hope not. Will YOU fall, i hope not as well.

ender

so i just finished reading enders game a couple of days ago, and let me tell you, its fucking great. even if its for little kids or young adults, i dont care, its still great. what more can i say. well anywyas i was enthraled by the storyline and the stuff the kids were put thru, moreover the conclusion of the book, i really never expected it, and i feel kinda dumb for it as well, but its ok.
i liked it. i liked it so much that today i went to corpus and bought enders shadow. i had to go to kingsville today anyway, cuz i had to do some stupid financial aid thingy and well that was basically it, i needed my das signature for a couple of things, and well theyre set and i hope i get financial aid this time around.
but let me tell you also that enders shadow is cool too. i feel bad for poor bean. but hes not as cool as ender yet. but what more can i say, i just read two chapters as of yet cuz my light bulb popped and im too lazy to go put a new one. im afraid of light.
anywyas i was remembering neto a while ago, i dont know why and dont think its gay or anything, i just started laughing my ass off cuz he said one time "mr! sparkle!" (you know the simpsons episode where homer thinks his image is being used bya soap company in japan, yeah that one) and i couldnt stop gigglin.
at the same time i kinda missed but not really missed kingsville. this has been happening the last two days. i miss it in the sense that i miss hanging out with you guys, but at the same time dont miss it because its not the place i want to be. yet i cant seem to despise at all anymore since i have people i can communicate with. besides since i have crystal there.
anywyas...... well ren it seems youre im monterrey, im trying to convince my dad here to let me go this week to, so we can go to antropolis (hopefully), so if you have a number i can call, put it here or send me an email or something. this goees for anyone whos in monterrey right now.
i really wanna go. my girlfriend is there too.
well i really dont have shit to post today, just those thoughts on the stuff thats been hapenning to me lately. and as you can see its not much.
so im just gonna say hi to checo!
HI!
it seems you havent been added to the blog as of yet, and you havent commented, so shame on you.... oh and i also forogot, that some of you are ra's and are gonna be in kingsville kinda working a week before class. that blows.
in the meantime im gonna go get me some taquitos, cuz im hungry, and theres no better mexican food than taco bell (lol)
much love
cheers

The greatest ideas come in dreams.

Day Four of my trip here in monterrey, So far, It continues to have my thumbs up. But Last night something interesting happened. I was informed of it this morning. Angel, has a dream, he dreams where he was a big shot movie director, and he comes up with a movie. He calls it, "The western Jackrabbit". This movie, is an old school martial arts movie, where the hero, is a chinese midget. And he's kicking everybody's ass. It's fucking hilarious. Well that's all.

also neto, could you try to record conan for me today? I would really appreciate it, NOFX is gonna be the guest artist.

thanks.

with love,
Rennie.

Dear friend,

Check out this new MoveOn PAC Real People ad:

http://www.moveonpac.org/morris/?ad_id= 6

MoveOn PAC asked their members who voted for Bush in 2000 to talk about why they are voting for Kerry in 2004. Academy award-winning documentary film director Errol Morris interviewed these former Bush voters on camera, and cut seventeen ads that tell their stories. These stories of disaffection are powerful statements about the failed Bush presidency.

Then come back here and share your thoughts.

Oh and Maya Angelou

I've lost all respect for you, and there I was thinking you were educated.

that's right people, I said it.

Au contraire my good friend.

before i put in my two cents, I believe this is in order. (yes people yet another Henry David Thoreau quote)


Any fool can make a rule, and any fool will mind it.
Henry David Thoreau

I thought this would be appropriate because you're just following the "advice" of some famous person. But then again i shouldn't be talking because I love these two speakers that I have in this post. But then again, I don't follow the same ideals as they do, I use them more as guidance. And that my friends makes me better than you (except for fredo, he's my clone so he's just as cool as me, and just as better than you).

Be the change you want to see in the world.

- Mahatma Gandhi

Maya Angelou's quote made me very angry. For someone to actually follow that advice, is a weak minded fool. If I were a jedi i'd be jedi mindtricking your ass all across datooine biatch. But, it all depends on how you look at it really, our little reader, Josh, saw it as a positive quote. he thinks that you shouldn't dwell on the things you can't change and just forget them. I will have to disagree with you there Josh, so many great people of today, such as the one above, not only dwelled on their goal of change. But sometimes even succeeded at it. By the way Josh, once your sister reads this she will call it a "cooky scenario". So I won't give a "cooky scenario". Think about it like this, in laymans terms, you want a hot dog, you open the refrigerator, and there's no buns and no weiners (hehe). But you really want a hot dog. Are you just going to make yourself a sandwich and live with the fact that you never had the hot dog? off topic: i love metaphors. back to topic: I wouldn't, me, I would walk to to the nearest grocery store if I had to, I will eat that damn hot dog. and I'm not just gonna sit there and "change my attitude" and settle for the sandwich. fuck that. I will go and buy a damn hot dog.

And now for my "cooky scenario" which I can express myself in better terms. I'll use actual current events just so mimi can't call it a cooky scenario. George W. Bush, decides to make a list of "convicts" who are not allowed to vote. Not only does he put the names of convicts, but he also puts my(hypothetically speaking) name on the list. I have never comited a crime, I have and deserve the right to vote, and I also like to vote democratic (remember everyone, hypothetical, i hate democrats too). So by some "glitch" a lot of people who are known to vote democratic, "myself" included, are denied the right to vote because they think i'm a convict. Well, I wouldn't sit by this at all. No sir, not only would I protest, but I will bitch, moan, fight, bite, kick, scream, and do just anything to make sure that the world knows what happens, and that I get my rights given back to me. I won't just sit there and go "well Bush got me, I guess I'll just sit here and change my attitude about it". Fuck that, All hell will be broken lose, and if I can't change it, I am going to continue to keep trying. Until I do change it. So what I'm trying to say is,

If you don't like something, change it, if you can't change it, keep trying, if you decide to change your attitude and not do anything about it......well go fuck yourself.
-Renato Regalado.

Hope

Hurt apart, Hurt Together
Why Me?
But even worse
Why you?

I wear and rot
I lost that strength
It hurts, I Hide
Behind a laugh

I care, so I worry
Sleep what sleep?
Pitiful rock
Is what to come.

Is there hope
I ask this way
B/c I dare not say
And confront thy precious wrath

I fear for thee
Id die for thee

Nothing more can I give?
In Sight of sin
Or in a bin

Hey Ren

"If you don't like something, change it. If you can't change it, change your attitude. Don't complain."-Maya Angelou

Im Kinda curious to know what everybody thinks about this qoute.

Im in a dilema, half of me tells me to like it, and the other half tells me its fucking stupid. Either way, i want to hear everybodys opinion of it.

Thank you Come AGain :)

Holy crap the person who posted before me is psychic!

"hardcore emo."

Heroin, Antioch Arrow, Mohinder, Honeywell, Reach Out, early Portaits of Past, Assfactor 4, Second Story Window, End of the Line, Angel Hair, Swing Kids, Three Studies for a Crucifixion, John Henry West, Guyver-1, Palatka, Coleman, Iconoclast, some Merel, some Clikatat Ikatowi, etc.

-Hinted at in New Jersey in 1990 (Merel, Iconoclast). Starts for real in San Diego in 1991 with Heroin, comes to SF Bay in 1992 (Reach Out, Mohinder, Honeywell, Portraits of Past, John Henry West), hits Philly, Florida, New York, and the rest of the East Coast a little bit.

-Similar to punk vs. hardcore punk - faster, louder, harder, much more intense and single-minded. Most of these bands play extremely fast, and introduce the "chaos" concept to hardcore. This is extremely abrasive music, with vocals screamed at the physical limit of the vocal chords. The guitars are distorted to the point that notes and chords are hard to recognize - although often the guitarists don't even play notes, instead making piercing, staccato bursts of noise, squeals of deafening feedback, or a wash of strummed dissonance. The bass often has quite a bit of distortion as well, unlike straight emo. This is everything emo done more so - sometimes so totally over the top that the band 's songs are not even recognizable when performing live. Antioch Arrow, for instance, thrashed about so much on stage that they sounded less like a band than a giant amplified blender. After each song, they had to retune every string, and usually had knocked over a good fraction of their equipment. These shows tended also to be quite short for reasons of the band's physical endurance.

-All the other notes about emo records, shows, economics, etc. apply to hardcore emo too. It's very much simply a subset of emo. In my eyes, this was the ultimate expression of the form. There was a frantic, primal quality to a band like Heroin that could just reach through your ribcage and squeeze your heart like in the Temple of Doom. I never found that in any of the other types.

How I would love to be a Jedi

The title doesn't mean anything else but that. Just imagine, all the mind tricks, push, pull, cure, heal, shock, whirwinds, and lightsabers I would be having fun with. Maaaaan. but anyway, just posting so everybody knows I'm alive.

Sorry to hear (err. read) that you're board as hell Neto, just remember its only until thursday. And hopefully that might just push you to try and get a liscence again hmmm??.....Man I'm hungry. but then again when aren't I? Neto, play some videogames, remember there's so many games you have to catch up on. and remember.

"nights are hard, the day is long, just keep on keeping on...."

Fredo, love the tshirts, wich I could buy some. after all, they are the awesomesauceness. I personally like the shots at bush. they're funny cuz they're true.

still continuing my research. I am about to post my next topic, which i believe is "hardcore emo", not emocore, two completely different things if you read my explanations.

By the way these are reliable sources of musical experts, musicians, and punks.

the hunger continues to linger, and angel isn't here....stupid doctor. Well so long.

funny

these tshirts are quite funny
but we could get our ass kicked if they were worn in kingsville, or then again in any city in texas where theres bound to be small minded rednecks
anyho, click here
cheers

Here In My Car

Actually that's a lie. I don't have a car. I don't even have a license. I am sitting here in front of the family computer and I am bored. I am not at school and my brother (he does have a license) left to Monterey today. So I am sitting here in front of the family computer bored and alone. It would be pathetic if it wasn't so sad. At times like these I wish I lived in a place where you could walk to places. But it makes sense that there are no places like that in Texas or especially south Texas. It is hot as hell out there. I tried walking to HEB in Kingsville once. I came back drenched in sweat and dehydrated (hmm I wonder if one had to do with the other). That's why I don't get people with cars who are bored. I don't get them like I don't get the pretty women in movies who can't find a guy or a job. I think at them "Why don't you just model...?" I ask people in cars..Why don't you drive somewhere? I hear Jamaica is good this time of year. Why don't you drive there? I don't actually mean Jamaica but I mean they can drive somewhere if they have a car and some money. So you people who have the chance should take my advice. Get out there. Meet people. Learn something. I have no idea why you are bored. I'm bored cause I have no car.

Bush on C-Span

While listening to Bush on C-Span, he discussed something which I didn't understand. As it seems Bush if pro affirmative action, against the quota system, and pro merit system. Is it just me or does this make no sense what so ever. I need some clarification on this subject, b/c as you all know I wont do research on it. I will also state that I am against affirmative action, and the most basic argument I have agaisnt affirmative action is. If I was a employer I would hire the more qualified employee, second rate work is unacceptable in my eyes. (the janitor should know which stain to fucking clean) ;)

On a un related subject, I am now staying at Lewis for the duration of the break on the third floor, and no it isn't haunted by Bob. However I would like to make up a ghost for Turner as well. Fucking with freshman is fun. They ignant..

Also whoever Commented On Diego's Post, we need to know who you are...... anonymous comments will be deleted!

the world is ending

ok so right now i have decided to take control over the world
i know i have taken to long, but im gonna use two racoons, a badger, my ferrets, zombie weasels and some tacks and a bag of lemos
.... dont ask
yet rennie (my second in command when i rage doom on your huge heads) told me to bring some bagels to fend against the attack of the mole people
those moles :: shakes fist ::
anyways
but the earth is mine to devaste, and i already promised the moon to renny
cheers

rennie decided to research over the break.

so I have decided to do some research over the concepts of emo music. it's actually really interesting, and its so much deeper than the little poppy trend that has been starting in MTV. here's phase two,

"emocore."

--Rites of Spring, Embrace, Gray Matter, Ignition, Dag Nasty, Monsula, Fugazi kind of, Fuel, Samiam, Jawbreaker, Hot Water Music, Elliot, Friction, Soulside, early Lifetime, Split Lip/Chamberlain, Kerosene 454.

-Starts in DC in 1984/85 and goes strong, spreads to the SF Bay in 1989, then explodes all over the Midwest, Florida, and Northeast shortly thereafter.

-The "emocore" style has become broader over the years. In the beginning, these bands consisted mostly of people who played in hardcore punk bands, got burned out its limited forms, and moved to a guitar-oriented, midtempo rock-based sound with emotional punk vocals (i.e., no posed soulful crooning like pop music). The central aspect here is the guitars - distorted, strummed mostly in duo unison, with occasional catchy riff highlights. This becomes known as the classic "D.C. sound," along with the octave chords that show up in later "emo" music. Later bands bring in more pop elements, like catchy-riff based songs, pop song structures (listen to Jawbreaker's "Chesterfield King" to illustrate this), and less-punk, more-smoothly-sung high-register singing (less yelling, straining, throatiness). Listen to Elliot or Chamberlain for an example of how alternative-pop this music has become. Yet those bands are undeniably still emocore. Also note most emocore bands play Gibson Les Paul guitars, with a few SGs, and use mostly Marshall JCM-800 amps.

preview of my story "apollo: the cronicles of treason"

ok so this is kinda like chapter one, its name is THE FALL OF ISMABAD, so enjoy!!!
----
Apollo. Book one, The Cronicles of Treason. Chapter 1: The fall of Ismabad

"If there is a cancer in this world, its name is Ismabad. I have seen the bastards destroy the forests of Blen in order to prove they are the keepers of peace. They bring nothing but pain."
"I know what you mean General Exeldria. But as of right now our forces are weak. The battle was desastrous. We were overrun...”
“We were betrayed!” slamming his sword to the ground, it pierced the great stone at which both soldiers stood. parts of the rock fell thru the slope that seemed to stretch for about two miles, as they looked face foward to the fires that consumed a great forest. The forest was none other than Blen.
The older man was Sigmund Exeldria. A warrior from the northeastern part of the world. yet the country where he lived on had already been taken by the menace that came from the west. His kingdom, Den, came to an end as they refused to cooperate in the creation of the empire known as Ismabad.
Yet before there was an Ismabad to be feared, there was Glesden. Glesden was a small kingsdom on the western continent of Hursten. They became well known for their advanced mechanichal artifacts that where used to protect some of the west from air as well as water dragons. They were the first to merge amplifiers and catapults; yet their grow enabled them to start colonizing a few territories from neighboring nations. Years passed and the small colonized territories soon adapted to them, yet their king, a man named Dervos, was hungry for more, and pursued conquest more than anything else. Soon, using his wit instead of brute force, he started gaining the western contienent. And soon enough, they became Ismabad, a merging of the whole contienet, bent on controlling the world and the few remaining teleporters.
“We coulve stopped them... we coulve at least prevented what they did... now their just too many...” Sigmund said.
He stared at the spreading fire, hoping he could at least try and use his amplifier catapults to lunge a water spell onto the forest. To save one of the last places where the hands of evil had not touched. but doing so would compromise his men, their hiding. he felt weak and coward. How could he, a soldier so proud from a nation that came to be known for their swordsmen be backing out.
“Their too many sir” a voice replied. “We should go back sir, we have a ten day journey from Blen to the desert of Juren.”
Sigmund smiled as if he did it for pityt as he watched his soldier. His soldier could only look up. Sigmund was enourmous, a man so big it seemed impossible to be taken down by five strong. Yet with his long red hair and beard, he seemed quite humble. He was. His men admired him, and his wife longed for his return.
“Yes, it is better to rest than to watch this atrocity. But mark my words soldier. They will fall.” and Sigmund walked as the sun settled down. But the color red would not leave, the fires had painted it all too well on the sky.

----

The next day came. It reeked of dead animals, and the smoke made it very difficult to see. Some soldiers died because of this, they had camped too close to the forest, but the mountain where they had stayed was the best shelter at that time. Some other soldiers were very ill, but their general was still trying to recover his weary forces. The last remaining men from Den.
“I know how you must feel.” he spoke outloud, “But we musnt give up. Juren is just a step away. When we get there we will meet from some of the survivors of the east, and the last army from the south.”
The east had already collapsed, and the south was being taken care of. They were in the south, trying to go further down in order to reach the desert. There they would find the ships that the eastern warriors used to get to the desert, as well as their ticket to sailing north and aquaint with the last stronghold of free countries. These were Pragma and Dermia.
“We have a chance my frieds, we can make it.” and Sigmund started walking.
His men spoke silently of lost hope, what woulve happened if they wouldve done certain things. It came clear there was no hope. And who could blame them, they had already been defeated the day before.
They had tried so hard to defend the forest, but they failed. Their 2000 strong became about 500, and they were dying fast. The war seemed cruel for the forces of Den. The army from Ismabad sent 10000 to that forest, and not only to annihilate the survivors of Den, but to also take apart the forest and use its resources for war. The armies of Den were horribly ambushed by a pack of fourth level magicians, all using amplifiers. They created a fire wall that prevented the army of Den from even hiding, moreover they also bombarded them with gigantic balls of fire. Even that wasnt enough for Ismabad, they went and sent thier soldiers wielding light blades to finish the job. What they didnt know was that the others also hid some amplifier catapults which they used to put out some of the fires and make for a retreat to a nearby mountain. As they did that, they took some of their catapults and destroyed the others, making the flame wall again. But it had been too slow a maneuver, and too late in order to have saved more lives. And all of this rested on the shoulders of their general.
But at least some of them were alive, and not all had lost hope. So began the ten day walk to the desert city of Juren.

ok som im gonna stop here, if you want more of this tell me, or if you think it sucks ass tell me
anyways im gonna leave it at that
the first push is free
the next time you gotta pay!
cheers

doo dee doo dee

ok so let the bitching start
im seeing all over mexico the new frase of “ser naco es chido”. this is “based” upon a new “supposedly urban underground pop culture movement” called naco. although some of the tshirts are good ideas, some are blunty retarded. its not that i am bitching against stuff that might seem rad to other people or even for me, but it pisses me off to see that this “urban” thing is making mainstream the things i like, devaluating their significance in order to make a few people hip.
we have tshirts with ic ons i admire, el che, tin tan, even that retarded hobo of a clown cepillin, but even they have significance to me.
now if we try to find out what naco is, in english of course, its to have really bad taste. wasnt that supposed to be bad? now this mainstrem trend of being unhip is hip.
ive been that way for the past 10 years! ever since junior high started, i made my identity by carving it out of angst from a period in which grunge ruled the world and sentiments were truly expressed. passing thru the hardships of highschool where metal influence my all, and finally starting college, where punk rock had the lyrics and movement i craved for. my so called urban attire and personality was forged by experiences that the new generations lack. they just go to the store and steal my heroes to be used in t shirts.
if youre really gonna wear a tshirt by something urban at least know the fucking story behind it. its not everyday when you can wear a shirt by roberto guzman huerta (el santo if you didnt know), or look at the movies. i found out im not against the tshirts, but the way they are being used by fools who claimk to be urban and against a system they dont believe in. what fucking system! theyre born rich and wear anarchy tshirts! what the fuck are you revolting against! they really dont expereince stuff as most people do. mayhap some do, but most of them dont.
let me set an example of this. one time during highschool i became a misionary and drove about twelve hours on a shitty bus to then middle of fucking nowhere. we got to this little town which would be homer base for the misionaries. this was in aramberri nuevo leon in mexico, where all of the poeple from around the northern states gathered and went about in their own happy little way. now the rich kids, yeah the ones who took their cars cuz the buses were too filthy (in their own words) stayed in the little town with all the modern conveniences of life (light, gas, water, ac, you name it) while the people who had less (i.e. fucking me) were sent of for another two hour ride in the back of a pickup truck tied to a three foot rope mind you, to another destination with none of the above. no ac. no electricity, no water, no gas, and certainly no toilet. noooo, we had to do the aguilita maneuver to poop in the wild. carefully peering thru the trees not to be surprised by a horny donkey. the experience i had was to see people live without nothing, but they were happy. and quoting the maestro chuck palahniuk in his great novel fight club “its only after you lost anything that you free to do anything”. and for a week i did, i became free, and i was happy. better yet, content with my whole meaningless existence, because only then i valued all that i had.
ever since then i have valued everything in my life, and seeing people like this, behaving “urban”. your not urban. go fucking become a misionary. go join the peace corp. loose all you have and value what i do. dont go around pretending something your not., try and fucking live life for a change, dont go just buy out identity at a store just because someone else does.
and with much love i retreat and plan the demise of posers.
cheers

You're So Money

Finally. I'm out. For a week, but what a week it will be. A week of rest, homemade food, not having to worry about grades, not having to worry about money, and family. Then I come back and it will feel brand new. I can't wait.

So does anyone see Carlos as a poet? I never did but there is his stuff right down there under Rennie's stuff. I'm surrounded by poets. Makes me want to drink a cappucino. Wiieeeeeeerd.

Listen to Death Cab For Cutie.

Peace.

Greet the bringer of pain

It’s forever Fall. I fight this feeling It never seems to stop the bleeding. These walls are killing everything. The sinking feeling. I’m not dreaming. Night falls too heavy no sleep. By the time the sun will rise I will lose my mind. I do it all the time. The devil is in me this bottle is empty. The damage done will not be undone today. Flying halfcocked out of windows losing friends and sleep and blood. For you I’d change it if I could. By the time the sun will rise I will lose my mind. I do it all the time. I swear to you, my friend This is not the end. I warn you again—This is not the end. So the night is as hard as the day is long. Just keep on keeping on.

Regret

To forgive forgotten dreams
To deny lustful screams
To justify longing shames
Why did i let her go?

who lives on a technicalility?

this is hilarious.

the TV comercials alone will make you pee in laughter. make sure you watch the boys can wait one.

For you coheed and cambria fans.

Three elevators (embodied in love and shadow) ;)

this is mostly for you fredo :-), because i know you would like this as much as I do.

It's time people finally see what it is.

"emo."

bands - Moss Icon, the Hated, Silver Bearings, Native Nod, Merel, Hoover, Current, Indian Summer, Evergreen, Navio Forge, Still Life, Shotmaker, Policy of Three, Clikatat Ikatowi, Maximillian Colby, Sleepytime Trio, Noneleftstanding, Embassy, Ordination of Aaron, Floodgate, Four Hundred Years, Frail, Lincoln, Julia, Shroomunion, some early Unwound, etc.

-Started in the DC area in 1987/88 with bands inspired by that area's post-hardcore acceptance of new, diverse sounds within the punk scene. Moves onward to New Jersey and California, then onward to Philly, Richmond VA, a bit in Canada, a bit in Illinois, and not much else.

-Musically there's a lot dynamics between ultra-soft / whispered vocals / twinkly guitar bits and full-bore crashing / twin Gibson SG guitar roaring / screaming vocals. One of the most recognizable and universal elements of emo shows up in the guitar sound of this style: the octave chord. Octave chords give this style a high-pitched, driving urgency and a very rich texture. The Gibson SG / Marshall JCM-800 guitar combo and Ampeg 400 bass amp is the classic emo gear. Solid-state amps are unheard of.

-The vocal style is usually much more intense than emocore, ranging from normal singing in the quiet parts to a kind of pleading howl to gut-wrenching screams to actual sobbing and crying. Straight-edge boys tend to hate that part, and much derision is levelled at emo bands on this point. Most emo bands tend to have some epic-length songs that build up very slowly to a climax where someone cries. If you're receptive to this kind of thing, it can be extremely powerful and moving, since it's very hard to fake that kind of pure emotion convincingly.

-Lyrics tend toward somewhat abstract poetry, and are usually low in the mix and hard to decipher. Record inserts have lyrics, but often so disorganized and haphazard that they're very difficult to read [unless the record was released on Ebullition Records, in which case there are many inserts on small, brightly-colored papers containing poetic writing from the label owner and all his friends about disillusionment, anger, and things that happened when the writer was four. Such writing is known as emo writing, and there are many, many zines just like that]. Said inserts are almost always done with antique typewriters or miniscule hand-lettering, containing no punctuation or capitalization. Often the only information about the band listed is the band members' first names. Another trait of really emo records is to have no information whatsoever about song titles.

-Artwork, too, tends toward abstract black-and-white photographs of rusted/broken things (especially machinery), drawings of flowers, and pictures of old men, little boys, and little girls. Lots of live photos indicates the band is probably from the East Coast, and probably listened to straight-edge at some point.

-Live emo bands tend to play with backs to the audience during the quiet parts. During the loud exploding parts, the musicans have a tendancy to jump and shake unpredicatable and knock things over - especially mike stands. Combine this with the fact that the singers often fail to make it to the mike in time to sing, and decide just to scream at the absolute top of their lungs wherever they are when the time comes, means that often entire shows will pass without the audience being able to hear the vocals. If, however, the band has a lot of screaming during the quiet parts, this can be an extremely powerful tactic.

-The is a particular emo dance sometimes seen in the audience at emo shows. It's known as "the emo tremble." The trembler clasps his/her hands together (wringing them from time to time), leans forward, bounces quickly on the balls of the feet, and shakes the upper torso in time to the music. Once in a while the trembler will grab the back of the head and rock back and forth. The more the person likes the band, the more he or she will double over. Also, a reader submits: "i think you forgot the "emo chest tap" or just "the chest tap". this goes on a lot in the northeast...i particularly remember lots of chest tapping occuring at shotmaker shows."

-Commercialism is very much repressed in this emo scene. Few bands make t-shirts. Most records are put out on very small, home-run labels or on the band's private label. Records are sold cheap (the classic pricing scheme was $3 7"s, $5 LPs, and $8 CDs. Inflation has driven these prices up in recent years). Shows are univerally $5 or less, and touring bands often are lucky to get gas money (despite the promoter usually not paying local bands).

-There is also a bias against digital technology within most bands. Emo recordings tend to be analog only, cheaply done, with a tendency toward mostly live tracking with few overdubs. Equipment is heavily weighted toward tube gear. Until recently, most emo records were made on vinyl only. CD reissues of broken-up bands' discographies are becoming common, though.

-Lastly, emo bands tend not to last long. It was not uncommon an emo band's only recording to come out posthumously and much delayed. Obviously, this puts a damper on the distribution of the records since no one in the band puts much effort into promotion.

-a modern perspective: the term "screamo" is used a lot nowadays to describe bands that are based most heavily on this kind of music.

I'm sorry neto, I just like doign it because I no longer have any patience. It's brownsville I tell you, they're starting to piss me off. It's kind of like How God would feel if he were human, like "i tell these people to be nice to each other, but they don't do it, its common sense. I feel like raining down sulfer."

and that, my friends, is why I'm not God.

Am I ready for my test? As much as I'll ever be. Am I worried? Not really How do I feel right now? My stomach hurts a little. Do you think its because you are worried? Maybe about how I am getting home this weekend and what I will do once I get there.

I mention one funny story and this is what it turns into. Oh well. Everyone knows how I feel about the perennial C-student that we call our president. But if missing out on Halle Berry kissing Sharon Stone is not a reason to vote against Bush then I don't know what is. You don't believe me? Click Here.

Another cool bit of news for you movie buffs out there. You know that creepy guy who played that other serial killer in Red Dragon? Yeah he is playing Lord Voldemort in the 4th Harry Potter movie. There's your literary nerd news of the week.

Peace Out. I'm going to sleep.

PS Rennie stop insulting the readers. We don't have many and we will need more if we are going to turn this into a multimedia empire like Fox News.

I hate finals.

I would just like to give the finger to anybody who hasnt had to study from 8:00 am to 1:00am with about 3 hours of break in between, for a test. Damn you all to hell! or even worse yet, damn you all to a richard simmons show. Yah that means YOU !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
damn biology majors ;) hehe havnt said that to you in a while Ren ohh my bad ingenium

Hmm im so tired, forgive me for the crappy simmons joke.

& to those of you that understand fuck Gauss, Ohms, Kirchoff, Farady, Ampere, Lenz and any other fuck that decided to make my life just a tad bit more frustrating :)

the worst words to have ever been said.

"I know about the jobs and our VP w/his whole secret meetings and what not and all that, but anything to keep us here, anything to protect us in other words".....


Mimi, a great man once said, actually not a great man, an actor, who was playing a priest once said. "the triumph of evil is not the growth of evil men, but the indifference of good men".

and a great man, Henry David Thoreau, a known anarchist, once said, "so many people fighting at the branches of evil, only one man fighting at the root."

keep those two things in mind, because they are the reason why I am typing this.

numero uno: You're trading your freedom for safety, ah yes the eternal struggle, freedom vs. safety. Would you trade your freedoms, your rights, just so you can have this feeling of "safety". I find that very funny, because you think that Bush is the only one that will keep you safe. Do you not think that ANYBODY running for president worries for the safety of their country? Do you honestly think that kerry is just going to give america away to these "terrorists"? Are you THAT naive? Also, Bush is going to protect us, I recall a certain 9/11 commission OFFICIALLY STATING that the Bush administration ignored the warnings of the clinton administration about how Al Queida was planning on attacking our country using airplanes. Man, what protection, wow, I feel safe already!

rebuttal: Oh well, we ignored the CLINTON ADMINISTRATION'S warnings, so its actually clinton's fault for not stopping him first.

reply: bubububullshit. If we're having such a hard time finding Usama, do you honestly think that clinton had him on the palm of his hand? Once again, do you honestly believe this propaganda? are you THAT naive? So far, what bush has done is NOTHING to protect us. He took advantage of this terrorism to a: gain control of iraqi oil, B: expand the United State's Hegemony by terrorizing its own people, scaring them into giving up their rights for so called "security", and those, like me, who have the balls to stand up to it are deemd "unpatriotic" and as carlos so eloquently put it "am allowing more 9/11's to happen because i'm against bush" Shit why don't you just brand me a terrorist send me to guantanamo, deny me a lawyer, and the right to see my family and torture me because i'm a "suspected terrorist." Congratulations Mimi, because you want to feel safe, an innocent man is suffering, being sodomized, terrorized, tortured, oh and what do you do to allow this? "oh well you act as if this has never happened before" No I am not acting as this has never happened before, I know this has happened before, that Is why I've always been into politics. That is why I have always stood up for those who are being held wrongfully. That is why I "fight". Oh and no matter what president, america is always going to take immediate action when it feels threatened. Kennedy, FDR, Clinton, Bush I, are prime examples. Its not just Bush lady. History has proven that whenever america feels threatened, they do take up arms. I thought you knew that mimi, for a girl who is always accusign me of not "know my hisotry" you sure have a hard time remembering yours.

numero dos: Mimi, You are actually allowing bad things happen because, like you put it, "everything is flawed" Someone who realizes this, and doesn't do anything about it, fooor shaaaaame. Not everything lives on power and greed, I don't. So guess what, that makes your statement flawed.

"Don't be naive rennie, you with your implications that America is totally equal and good and great and has never faltered" I have never said that. If anything all my life I have said that america is flawed, its governmetn is flawed, its people believe that they can acheive happiness with clothign, and material possessions. Once again, I am the one that is trying to change this. And there is many people like me,.

"It's corrupt, no one says you have to conform to it, but in the end, you most likely will... somehow i think you know that. -M"

That sentence made me sad. Because, you actually believe I will conform to a corrupt nation. Once again, and also, you are allowing yourself to conform to so much evil. WWJD lady.

so in the end, I will continue to fight, I will continue to protest, I will continue to try to change this world because I will not rest until I have at least changed something. And I will never conform to it. Not even in the end......and apparently you will.......foor shaaaaaaame.

tacos, my dog and skatalites

i just had tacos bout 20 minutes ago, its this place called los carboncitos
anyway its way different from what i remember, the meat sucked, dry and stale

cheers

I see

Seeing as some people might be getting confused, let me set it out for you

cronus lags - carlos

ingenium - renato

evil ferret of doom - fredo

whatta_fuck - diego

oscar- neto

tamara - adorable ;)

seeing as this is gonna be posted by ingenium, rennie wrote this. and yes mimi, i wrote the other one too.

ha ha, i can make a blog and all you can do is comment :-)

i like that. Not that i'm a republican or anything

and here you are telling me you "don't want a filthy liberal in office". Its funny because you just stick to names like conservative and liberal when you really don't know any facts.

I just dont want Kerry running this place

there's so many things that he is for that are ethically right, yet you don't like him because you're a republican.....you don't even know the things he stands for. You're just a huge fan of bush because everybody think's he's old fashioned. He's old fashioned alright, an old fashioned NAZI. read the patrioct at and you will agree.

Let's face it the only reason why Kerry is at an all time high is due to the fact that he's the only answer in getting Bush outta office

getting bush out of office is the answer to getting bush out of office, I would've liked it if it was Nader but such is life. Although, be as it may be, i do agree with you on this part, Vicente Fox was all about the change and who knows what not yet he is even more conservative than most priistas. On the other hand, Kerry fixing the economy, butting a ban on public assault rifles(which bush isn't even touching) and trying to repeal the patrioct act are things I would like.

going w/the flow in other words with what people are now fighting for(ie: legalizing gay marriages)

You're calling homosexuality a trend.........HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.
Mimi, stop reading those biased reports, they are making the stupidest points. Also, lets put it in the hypothetical situation, lets say this is a trend, lets say that its the new thing the people are fighting. THIS GOVERNMENT WAS MADE FOR THE PEOPLE BY THE PEOPLE. Not for the rich, old, and elite, by the assholes. If its what the people want, its what should be done. Going against things the people say (for example Bush broke the record on number of protesters and protests a president has) is wrong. of course the people just let it fly by, you knwo who else got us in trouble by letting him fly by? Hitler.

THNE AGAIN, i was raised on those values and still stand by them soo..Bush, i'm all for him.

You were raised on the values of treating prisoners unfairly, breaking the rules of the geneva convention, allowing a secret police to make secret arrests and those "suspected terrorists" to be denied a lawyer. What ever happened to good ol' fashioned innocent until proven guilty? or how about the ol fashioned bil of rights "ALL MEN ARE CREATED EQUAL, NOBODY SHOULD BE DENIED LIFE, LIBERTY, AND THE PURSUIT OF HAPPINESS". Putting a bar on gay marriages does not allow the pursuit of happiness. And if you give me any of that "its supposed to be property" crap, i don't care, we changed it to the pursuit of happiness, and its a right that all americans have. I'm also not for denying the right to vote to certain people just because they have a tendency to vote against you. that's a right that I personally enjoy, and if they ever try to take it away all hell will break lose.

Don't Mess With Me, I'll Write About You In My Blog

As you can see. We are all really getting into this blog thing. Rennie and Fredo is addicted to the long posts. I like messing with the template (notice the shiny background....And that line under the terror alert...Yap that's what I did today). And Carlos likes pictures. Stay tuned. This is getting interesting....Well except tomorrow. I have a final on Thursday and Carlos has two so we will be knee deep in books. But I'm sure Rennie and Fredo will keep you entertained with their song lyrics and ferret stories and whatnot. If not there is also this site I found.

IRAQ BLOG COUNT
It's a site with posts and links to a whole bunch of blogs from people who live in Iraq. That's right there are people there. Not just soldiers and terrorists duking it out. Anyway check it out for a different point of view.

a wee bit on posers

if there is something i really despise are posers
and nuevo laredo is crawling with them
i just gave a ride to my friend eriberto to his house, and usually you have to cross the street paseo colon
it is there that the prepubescent teens and perverted grownups gather to drive around in circles for a meaningless quest to satisfy the urge to be accepted
inside it are poser punks
now i may not be all that punk hardcore type of guy. i like to fit into the scheme of emo core or something like that. you decide. but what i want to get at is that punk rock in this time and city is dead. well its dead in the paseo colon thats for sure. theyre posers, and im gonna quote stevo (slc punk) on this "posers say theyre punk rock but they do it for fashion", and well fashion it is. they try and impress ladies and men alike by wearing "punky looking" clothes. the "punk" rock band t-shirts, their dickies, their converse shoes, trucker hats, faux hawks. why the fit perfect into the scene. or so they think.
when did credibility of having a true belief in music change into this empty struggle to be accepted. it seems today that the more punk you look the more alternative you are, and the more people crow around you (at least here in nuevo laredo) because they think youre an artiste, a rebel, someone with an edge. when in fact its destroying the very fabric of punk rock.
first of all, punk rock is a movement of rebelion. its fighting against a system that imposes rules like a god, its like saying, hey i have rights too.
but right now, at this very moment, hordes of pseudo anarchists roam the streets playing good charlotte and blink 182 (dude ranch was godlike mind you, the latter stuff sucks), or avril lavigne and kelly osbourne as they profess theyd always been punk rock.
none of those assholes know what the anarchy symbol stands for. they just like putting the sticker on their brand new car. they also love el che guevara, which image has also been devaluated because of the fools who put his sticker up on theyre car. who woulve taught, el che became a product of consumerism as well as the anarchy symbol.
but then again, these people show no interest in knowing what punk is, what its symbols stand for. but let me tell you, dressing like lavigne or the charlottes is not helping. punk rock is a rebelion inside the mind, not outside the body. its posers like these that create a bad image for punk rockers. ive been dressing the way i do since the year 2000 and it seems that now the way i am is part of fashion. i hate this, i wear converse bevcause theyre comfortable, band shirts cuz they fit like gloves, and dickies cuz they resist wear and tear. i dont want to make a statement, if i want to do that, i will express my opinion and reasons for it. not take a culture of other people just because it looks cool.
believe me, watching and emulating what mtv tells you is not punk. nor the bands in it.
posers beware, your fad is dying and there are people like me that are not ok with the way you are. it is the posers who go inside our concerts and cause a ruckus (moshing really violent to cath the attention of the women) and create a bad image for the real punk rockers.
though i may not be all hardcore punk i enjoy emo, a lot. but you dont see me trying to fit in a group. its just not right. you are who you are, and if you pretend to be something your not by grasping someone elses ideas well you end up looking like a real asshole.
i dont like posers, theyre just lowering the standards, ideas and culture of what punk rock is.
just be who you are, not what tv tells you to.
forge your own identity.
cheers

tv and other minor bitching and an apology

ok so i know at what im mad at
its tv, not all tv, but some tv
anyways its mexican tv, why? well because im living here now and im stuck all day with nothing to do
its not that it is bad, it fucking sucks ass. i wake up to turn my tv and surf channels endlessly for hours in search for something to look at. and other than american channels, mexican tv does not have much to offer (not that american tv has anythig extra to offer - infomercials and log ass comercials cough cough wink wink) we see day and night continous "shows" where people talk about entertainment, and though everyone feels a slight interest in them, theyre basically a load of crap. what got me kinda mad was the fact that from the first show at mmm id unno morning, passing thru noon up until evening, we are constantly bombarded by gossip shows which say basically the same things over and over again. it sucks ass. moreover its this crap that people with lower class status watch and try to emulate, wasting their hard earned money buying tickets for a lottery which involves the incredible prize of a new car or a new house. and everybody wants one of those, so they have them there glued day and night to a tv which displays a number that you can call and have 2 dlls charged to your credit card so you can enter this stupid raffle. the trick to luring people? well they offer this shitty excuse that you can call within the next hour or so and your ticket will be printed one hundred times. big deal, everybody has their ticket printed 100 fucking times! its not as if your chances will get better. its the same thing, the chances stay the same. so by the time the show ends and the raffle has supposedly selected a winner, people feel a sense of gratitude as the people in the show say better luck next time, keep trying, if he won you can win too.
and thus this cycle is repeated each day, where more people think they might have a shot at it. i really dont think they know how many people are there in mexico do they?
theres a whole bunch of things i hate in mexican tv. i cant remember though and if i just keep writing it may seem it just came out of my ass.
i know you might say then dont watch that shit.
well i dont, but its kinda hard not to notice them when the occupy channels 5, 12, 13, 16, 17, 23, 33 and 47. when almost all of the same shows happen around the same time.
the others are also the same, being cnn, crappy mopvie channels, and well some others with lame shows
but other than that, i like suffereing and enjoy the tv
i just like bitching

ps
the trip to la huasteca with eriberto is cancelled, both he and me have no money we apoligize or whoever the hell its written
sorry neto
sorry rennie
please dont hit me!

Terror Alert : Danger Danger

I had no idea what to write about today so I found something to add to the website. Apparently the terror alert has been raised in D.C. and New York. I think that this and all terror alerts can be confusing for some people so I found an easy way to keep up with what is going on with those crazy terrorists. It consists of this.



Now when world peace has broken out we will be at Oscar the grouch. Most of the time we are stuck between those secret lovers, Bert and Ernie. I think Elmo is reserved for when Kerry wins the election. Then it will be time to panic. Look for the terror alerts in the sidebar.


I was bored

the young stale memories of play the role to your part
librarian find me the pole the one that kicks your head in
with my own time role your own innocence by
grab on to my sleeve the one that grabs at your ankle
debate to understand that we all have a flaw
then fail to represent your life as you know it
god grant you one wish to turn back the time...
correct and create, making sense of

me and my star matthew good night
you know by law when you'll be forgiven
maria my star matthew good night
you know my lord when you'll be forgiven

so they pulled your confidence down with those verbal discrepancies
now and then you'll gain what they've lost through a challenge of unpronounced
pain is only a pulse if you just stop feeling it
you might be able to use the very thing that makes us up

wait, now, here when will you believe?
me i'm merely asking you to help me when did i say to murder?
wait, now, here, please hear me out
time consumer, time consuming, consume me

if you don't know what song that is here's a hint.
www.google.com
you're also not intelligent. but that's just my personal opinion.

also, the village did not suck ass, it was not meant to be scary, it was meant to be suspensful. when you're raised to be afraid of big fucking porcupines, you'll be scared to. i bet you if they traded that monster for a gigantic, sharp, needle with legs you'll be scared. knowing the ending at the middle of the movie is just a gift i have, it's because i'm smart. and when i see the things i say happen, it makes me happy. but anyway, the movie was good, the acting was good, the storyline was good. even the moral of the story was terrific (people in the world choose to be afraid of "fictional" thigns).

The Village Idiot

Nope Sucked, they were afraid of big porcupines, are you afraid of big porcupines, and if you were why the hell would the yellow robe fix it. :) Second the ending wasn't a surprise, and i dont know about you but i hate knowing the ending in the middle of the movie. With that in mind, what was the point of the movie? It didnt inspire me, didnt fool me, didnt amuse me, didnt scare me, ( note, it did scare Tamara, which in turn amused me but not enough to enjoy the movie) and b/c of these specifications which i hold dear in judging whether a movie is good or not i have come to the conclusion that it blew, and as far as im concerned all the village idiots met up in the village surrounded by Convington woods........ sounds like a George Carlin idea to me.

Neto, Ren you might find this link funny i did

haha funny joke i just read

Joke: Most Confusing Day
What is the biggest day of confusion for rednecks?

Father's Day.

and i proceed to phyics homework :( gtg bye

prima facie

For those of you who don't know, prima facie is latin for "at first sight", seeing as both my friend and brother wanted to begin this blog with posts whose titles mean "beginning" i thought I would too. It was either that or

In the beginning the Universe was created. This has made a lot of people very angry and been widely regarded as a bad move.
-Douglas Adams


So yes, in the beginning, there was three men, Carlos, Oscar, and Renato. Each talented in their own ways, all three having different views on different things, and every once in a while they might actually agree. But for now, we haven't actually begun to argue so I guess I'll just talk about recent events.

I finally quit my job, my last day was the happiest day of my life. Come to think of it, if that's the happiest day of my life, my life is pretty pathetic. I am reading a book written by Noam Chomsky, he is incredibly intelligent, a talented linguist, and a very outspoken individual. After that, I plan on reading a book titled, player piano, by Kurt vonnegut. One of Chuck Pahalaniuk's(Fight Club, Choke, etc.) influences.

Oh and by the way carlos, the village kicked ass, you have crappy taste in movies. :)

that's all for now.

Genesis

I was in Barnes & Noble yesterday with some friends. As we was walking out, this guy and his son were walking in. The man must have been around 40 and his son was around 8. As they were walking in the boy saw one of those books with John Kerry's face on the cover. Apparently he tells his dad "Hey! That's John Kerry". To which his dad replies "Fucking Democrats. Get over here." That's Texas for you.

So I hope that's what our blog thing is going to be about. Just posting random stuff that has some kind of topic in mind. We talk about a lot of things. We usually have very different point of views. We say what we think and if someone reads it they say something too. yea right like someone is going to read this.
