Secret Valentine

fxckstephlolz — 2009-02-12T18:18:00Z

I had no school today, we had major winds overnight that knocked down a lot of power lines, my school being one of them. We had testing today too which kinda sucks but we'll probably have to take them tomorrow.
I got to catch up on some much needed sleep so I feel a lot better than I did last night.
I got my new camera yesterday. It's a nikon D40 with an 18-55mm lens.

I'm having so much fun with it and I have a new photo project I'm doing. It should be done in a week or two and I'll post it when I'm done. I can't wait to get to work and do some photoshoots and start a portfolio.

I'm off to get ready for bed.
Happy Valentine's Day to whomever has a special someone on this upcoming day.

Regular or Decaf?

I'm so exhausted. I'm up at 5am and I'm not in bed until midnight. School, Work, Homework, repeat. It's so tiring. I love my new job, my co-workers are great and I'm having a great time but I have a feeling that this is going to catch up with me soon. I've had finals at school the past few days and I'm off Monday and Tuesday, I can't wait to sleep in. To the best of my knowledge, I'm not working Tuesday-Thursday next week, so maybe I can catch up on some much needed sleep. I got my driving permit today and I can't wait to start learning. I'm definitely going to try and get my license ASAP (July 22 is when I'm hoping to schedule my driving test.)
I need someone to buy me a whole bunch of those Five Hour Energy shot things, coffee isn't doing it for me anymore.
Does anyone know how they decaffeinate coffee? It's been bothering me lately.

If they can do it, why can't we?

I saw this on peta2's myspace and I found it absolutely amazing.
Watch CBS Videos Online That is positively incredible. and at the end when the reporter said "if they can do it, why can't we?" I just thought about that is how everyone should treat animals. In a way of thinking, as humans, we are the elephants and the animals are the dogs. They put our complete trust in us and most people won't even give it a second thought.

Two New Music Videos in Review (Bring Me The Horizon's "Chelsea Smile" & Mayday Parade's "Miserable at Best")

fxckstephlolz — 2009-01-09T21:28:00Z

Artist: Bring Me The Horizon
www.myspace.com/bmth
Song:Chelsea Smile
Album: Suicide Season
[Visible Noise (UK) Epitaph (US) Shock (AUS)]
Director: Adam Powell
Producer: Craig Touhy
Music Video: "Chelsea Smile" - Bring Me The Horizon
Making The Video: Part One, Part Two.

Bring Me The Horizon's second video release, Chelsea Smile, off their sophomore album, Suicide Season, was by far their best music video. This video, however, was like many other band's music videos. Chelsea Smile was a big party that destroyed this inside of the house that it was in; but their version would be perfection to many. The video contained a whole lot of alcohol, strobe lights, people in their underwear, sexual advances and a lot of dangerous activity (but hey, that's why parties are fun, isn't it?) My least favourite part of this video would have to be the very beginning when the girl draws and imitaion of the Glasgow/Chelsea Smile with lipstick, not only do I find it incredibly tacky, but I believe it doesn't really fit with the mood even though one of the most known lyrics from the song would be "I may look happy but honestly dear, the only way I'll really smile is if you cut me ear to ear." Bring Me The Horizon had a few of their friends as guests in part of this video. The members of the band Cancer Bats stopped by to play poker and drink beer in the kitchen. The promising of many girls in thier underwear was a major let down when there was onlt about 10 seconds worth of clips from the "Underwear Pillow Fight in the Bedroom." The main thing I do not understand about this video when when the half-naked guy poured soda/beer all over himself in the video. That clip seemed rather pointless, but nonetheless amusing. Overall, this video was well done by both the band and the videos Director, Producer and Set Designer.
Originality: 2/5 stars
Quality: 4/5 stars
Overall: 3/5 stars

Band: Mayday Parade
www.myspace.com/maydayparade
Song: Miserable at Best
Album: A Lesson In Romantics
(Fearless Records)
Director: Mark (Starbark?)
Music Video: "Miserable at Best" - Mayday Parade
Making The Video: Link.

"Miserable at Best" is the third video release (excluding the band-only live "Black Cat" video) of Mayday Parade's hit album "A Lesson in Romantics." This heart-wrenching video is perfect for the song. The video takes place in a wooded area while it's snowing and throughout the ballad, the video displays three different types of break-ups; the "happy/understanding" break-ups, the really sad break-ups where you do not want to break-up, and then the angry break-up. The entire video pulls together by the use of snow and the place where the band performs. The belief that all three of these couples have been at this place together at one point or another and the fact that it is snowing when they break-up really connects the relationships to the band and the song itself. The only thing that I disliked about the video is how only the drummer and the vocalist were really involved and the rest of the band kind of just stood around looking nostalgic because they had no use since the song was a ballad on piano only. In conclusion, Mayday Parade's video for "Miserable at Best" seems to be one of the best music video releases that I have seen in a long time and I hope that every video they make from now on.
Originality 4/5 stars

I've Woken Up To A Reality Called First Period Excel and Access

fxckstephlolz — 2008-08-29T12:28:00Z

It's officially the second day of school and it's already lost it's aesthetic. I'm exhausted from the few hours of sleep I've been getting and the stress is already appalling. It's ridiculous how quickly you can change from being a happy-go-lucky and laid-back teenager to a rundown, worn-out student. It's only been a day and a half and I want it to be summer again. It has been raining straight for two days and I want to see sunshine.

The Nights And Days Fly By When I'm Lost On The Streets

fxckstephlolz — 2008-08-19T20:52:00Z

So school starts up again next week. It's ind of a bittersweet time right now. I'm trying to go out of summer with a big BANG and I think I'm pulling it off pretty well. I've spent the last few days hanging out with large groups of friends at the park or at my house. I spent a few nights laying under the stars with my best friend Robby and just talking. It finally felt like summer. I wish that I had another month of this because I'm finally getting the summer feeling. You know what I'm talking about? How you can't be sad because everyone is there to give you a hug. I'm gonna have to get my hair trimmed before school starts and I'm thinking about getting something different. I don't know if I'm gonna go with something shorter or grow it out long. If you have any ideas, tell me. I can't wait to dye it this November, I'm supposed to any way.

I also think I'm getting my permit soon, I have to get a physical first though, which will be taken care of on monday. I'm excited because I feel like I'm actually growing up. I'm really scared to get out of high school, though. I'm a Junior, an upperclassman, it's really weird when I think about it. I'm scared about learning to drive and going to college. It's all just going by so fats. It feels like yesterday when I walked into high school as a Freshman.

I'm the only one going into school single this year, but I'm happy for all my friends who are happy. If they are happy, then I'm happy.

I turn Sixteen this November. I'm still trying to decide whether to have a big bash or a small intimate thing. I also want to join a band this year, I'm thinking as a vocalist, I'm not good enough at guitar or piano to play them in a band. ahaha. If you hear about a band in the Pittsburgh area looking for a vocalist, be sure to let me know.

Also, the new The Academy Is... album hit stores today, be suer you pick it up. It is fucking epic.

Come One, Come All

My room is cleaning up rather nicely
I've got about 3/4 of the picture thatw ere hanging up taken down
And I'm so excited to redecorate.
I came across something in a target catalouge that I absolutely loved. It was for college dorms so I guess it's perfect for a teens room. haha

I think it's great, I want to replace my bed with it because it folds out to be about the same size a full sized bed andI always found them comfortable. Whenever I get up in the morning, I'll just put my blanket and pillows in my closet. andI can fold it back up.
I was going through a lot of ideas for the furniture, but I really like that so I'll work around that with basic black furniture and then some accent colour.

I know my birthday isn't until November and Christmas isn't until December so there is no reason for me to get any of this, but a girl can dream, right?
Well, I turn 16 in November so it's best to plan ahead.
