Flippin’

Your golden lies feed my role
in this forgotten space race under my control
who’s returned from the dead?
who remains?

you know that i don’t want you and i never did
i don’t want you and i never will

you wanted more than i was worth
and you think i was scared
and you needed proof
who really cares anymore?
who restrains?

you know i don’t love you and i never did
i don’t want you and i never will

This is the song written by Muse. The song has the same lyrics as Hyper Chondriac Music. If I were to describe the song “Hyper Music”, it is literally “hyper” Muse is an English band, Best known for their live performance. Their live performances are far beyond amazing. They are always full of energy.

The song has a deep meening behind it. Some people say that it’s about a religion. But I disagree. Well it COULD be interepted to a religion. There was a huge debate over the meaning at www.songmeanings.com but here is what I think it means

Generally I think it’s about a guy (matthew bellamy) who is sick and tired of a girl and wants to move on. so the first verse, he describes his current feelings about how he is sick about all the lies and how he is being controlled by her. So now on the chorus, he is really angry and yells at her saying that he doesnt like her. Basically the whole song is about him getting angry at his girlfriend.

The song has so much emotion. I think I might do a cover for this as a tribute to muse.

Today was my brother, Eugene’s graduation. Now that I think of it, it is hard to believe that Eugene is already in the University. Time goes fast real quick. And time is running out.

Well Eugene’s graduation wasn’t the only thing that happened today. The king of pop singer Michael Jackson died, and Farah Fawcett. I respect both of these people. However, my family’s issue is more important, so I decided to talk about Eugene.

Eugene. Born in April 26, 1990. He is my older brother. We look nothing alike. He is very tall, I’m i guess a bit taller than average people. Eugene’s hair is short, my hair is a bit long, he is humorous, I’m… serious? XD it rhymes hahaha. Everyone who we met didn’t know that Eug and I were brothers untill we actually told them.

We have shared rooms together untill I became grade 4. Then we moved to a condominium called “tower palace” funny thing is, we had this room where there was a path that was only connected between Eugene and I. So once in a while, at night, we would meet each other in that path and just chill there. Good times… I miss those days. Those were the days where I had virgin eyes, virgin ears, and I was just an innocent little child, who never faced any challenges that were against me.

Then as I turned to grade 5, I came to Canada. Faced numerous barriers, did my best to overcome it. Eug and I both did our best to overcome them together. Eug reached his “teenager moment”. He began to annoy me and tease me. I got pissed once in a while,

We came to Collingwood when I became grade 6. Ever since I came to collingwood, I became more mature person, and I began to do my best to find out the meaning of life. In our school, we always have an annual speech contest. Eug made an amazing speech and became one of the finalists. His speech was sooo hilarious that he became famous in our school XD I am proud to be his brother. Eventually, he became one of the student exectuvies. However, he didn’t become the headboy, although most of the people in our school actually wanted him to become one.

Now I’m about to turn grade 10 and Eugene is graduating. I’m sure there are tons of people in our school who will miss Eugene. He has certainly left a huge impact in Collingwood. Our school is definately going to feel empty without him. His graduation is going to change everything in our community. Him leaving for chicago is definately going to impact my family. I am certainly going to miss him.

OCTAHEDRON! IT’S OUT! It was out yesterday, but I got it today but. MY GOD ITS AMAZING. I gotta tell you, it really is different than the previous albums in a good way. I fell in love with it instantly. Here are the track lists: Since We’ve Been Wrong, Teflon, Halo of Nembutals, With Twilight As My Guide, Cotopaxi, Desperate Graves, Copernicus, Luciforms. The album is plastic, so a bit of disappointment to paper album lovers. but the album work is amazing. Oh and when you cut out the outside wrap, make sure that you take out the sticker that it comes with it. (I attatched it to my guitar :D )

The album opens up with a very strong emotional track “Since We’ve Been Wrong” It will definately grab your attention for sure. Anyways maybe I shouldn’t say more since I might be sued or something XD

Anyways let me tell you. You will absolutely love the album so enjoy!

(bottom is the album. The circle logo of Mars Volta is the sticker that it comes with)

As I lived, I learned numerous valuable lessons. What really hit me was, “Carpe Diem” from the book “The Dead Poet’s Society”. Carpe Diem means “Seize the day”, meaning that we should make the best out of today, and live like there’s no tomorrow. However, what really questioned me was. How do you actually “seize the day” successfully?

If you ask a  kindergartner about what they want to do before they die, they will say “I wanna ride a pony”. If you ask a teenager, they will say “I don’t wanna die in virgin”. If you ask an adult, they will say “I want to have a family”. If you ask a senior, they will say “I want to see my grandson grow up”. Then I began to think about something. Will it really matter at the end?

Randy Pausch has taught me numerous valuable lessons as well. He was the one who actually literally INFLUENCED people to follow their childhood dreams before they die. We all have our childhood dreams. Let’s face the truth. We won’t have enough time to do all of them. So what should we do? How can we end our life successfully?

Well here is the thing. I’m just an ordinary teenager. I have never faced the death, and I really don’t want to die.  But I know one thing for sure. I think I know how to win at life. What should you be doing? What you SHOULD be doing right know is to find something that will last in your memory for a long time. Not a short pleasure, but any stuff that will last at least 10 years in your head. Think about it. And accomplish it. You won’t regret it.

Twilight twilight twilight.

Question: What is twilight?

Answer: Twilight is the time right before the sun goes down

I’M JOKING SORRY ALL YOU TWILIGHT LOVERS

Today, I decided to write about twilight. The way twilight was introduced to me was, as some of you know, my cellphone ringtone is “supermassive black hole – muse” Muse is my favorite band. I wanted to express my music taste to others by sharing my ringtone. Oh and I also made a guitar cover for the song!

Anyways, for some reason, everytime somebody hears to my ringtone, they go “OMG TWILIGHT OMG OMG “. At first, I didn’t even know what the twilight was. Then after my 5 seconds research on google, I figured out that it was this book about vampires. VAMPIRES??? ARE YOU SERIOUS??? WHY IS IT SO DAM SPECIAL??? Then I also found out that they even made a movie out of it…

So what questioned me was, what does this retarded book has to do anything with such legendary song “supermassive black hole”? Well the research didn’t take me that long either. On youtube, when I just even simply typed “supermassive black hole” not “supermassive black hole TWILIGHT”, twilight came up as the 1st result (wow…)

So guess what I figured out. The song was the soundtrack for this “baseball scene” where vampires have a major baseball match -_-…. yeah… how pathetic is that….

I wanted to know what makes twilight so appealing to teenage girls. So I read some parts of the book. In the book, there is this vampire teenage boy named Edward Cullen. He is described to be the perfect guy that all the girls want. He is sexy, strong, handsome, etc. However, he does not care about girls. No girls are good for him. Then, this girl named bella comes to the school and Edward gives her everything by loving her.

Anyways what I’m trying to point out is. Stop living in fiction life. Step out of it. Live in the reality. You’ll never be able to live with Edward Cullen. So give up. Edward Cullen DOES NOT EXIST… so please do me a favor. Live in the reality.

Looks like 2009 is going to be an exciting year!

My 3 favorite bands : Muse, Arctic Monkeys, and The Mars Volta are releasing their new albums in the year 2009!

Muse’s new album is called “The resistance”

Arctic Monkey’s new album is called “Humbug”

The Mars volta’s new album is called “Octahedron”

The Mars Volta’s new album is now available for people to listen to it on their myspace page.

Some of the Arctic Monkeys’ songs were played live in numerous concerts like the song “crying lightening”. Apparently, their new album is going to be different their Indie style. There’s a rumour that it is going to be more like classical rock. (I am not sure if this will be good or not. I really like their “Whatever people say I’m that’s what I’m not.” The meaning of the album “Humbug” means a person who is nothing like the person that they say they are, so basically this album is kind of like a sequel to “whatever people say i am…” It is going to be interesting.

If you go to www.muse.mu, you will be able to see all the “the resistance” tour dates. But unfortunately, they r all in europe but I am willing to visit Europe JUST to go to Muse’s concert.

Girl with a pearl earring is a masterpiece, painted by a famous painter, named Johannes Vermeer. Not only this painting was gorgeously painted, but it had a deep story behind it. This painting is a paint of a girl named Griet. She was one of the Vermeer’s maid and Vermeer painted the exact look of her. “I will paint you as I first saw you, Griet, Just you.” I learned a lot of valuable matters from this novel. I learned about artist’s life, maid’s life, and how the masterpiece is created.

I learned a lot about artist’s life after reading this novel. Johannes Vermeer is a married Dutch Baroque painter from the 17^th century. Sometimes his life could be flamboyant, while sometimes, his life could be miserable. The artist’s life in the novel, was portrayed to be a very luminous when it shows Vermeer, painting his masterpiece with all of his emotions. Vermeer’s life was described to be miserable, when the novel illustrates his family and his financial problems. His wife, Catherine Vermeer, does not understand Vermeer’s paint at all. In fact, she only cares about the money that the paint is going to make. Vermeer faces numerous financial problems. As a painter, it is a tough to maintain a good balance financially. They need to buy right materials and have right environments in order to create the masterpiece. His paint was later known as a masterpiece, but not at his time.

Not only I learned about the artist’s life, but I also learned about maid’s life during the 17^th century. Their life was described as dreadfully challanging. The maid in this novel, who is also the main character, is Griet. His dad was a tile painter, but he is now blind due to some accident. Her family is extremely poor. Griet had to work in order to help her family financially. Once she becames the maid of Vermeer’s household, she works all the time. She does all the laundry, cooks food for her master, and she even blends the paint for her master. Working as Vermeer’s maid was also extremely challenging for Griet because while she was cleaning Vermeer’s room, she had to leave it the way it was, since it would effect the painting.

Masterpiece isn’t just created. It is created when the artist puts every detail and every work into it with all of his or her emotion. This novel showed me what it takes in order to create a masterpiece. Vermeer is portrayed to be an exceptional painter. Not noly he blended his own painting, but he even used special tools like Camera to make his painter even more detailed. All the lights, colours, and even the detailness of the paint was carefully examined by Vermeer to create his masterpiece, “Girl With a Pearl Earring” The person in the paint is his own maid, Griet. Her beauty was illustrated exceptionally. This is why this painting became such a masterpiece.

Who would have known that the story behind such painting could have all these wonderful stories behind it? This novel showed about every details of the luminousity and sadness of Vermeer’s life, maid’s challenging life, and about how his extraordinary masterpiece was created.

The virus became worse and worse. Now, the infected people can’t communicate, think, or behave like human. They are different. All they want to do is tocling onto another person and suck their blood or eat their flesh to survive. It is easy to tell who is infected or not. Once they receive the virus from the carrier, they have 5 minutes before they turn violent. 

The survivor’s life was fairly simple. They all take shifts and guard the camp ground. When their shift is over, they have to leave the camp ground in groups of 3 and find some food, ammunition, and survivors and return back to the camp. The curfew is strict. Which means, if they don’t return at the right time, they are considered to be infected, so they wouldn’t be let in.

The radio is kept on at atll the time just in case there might be a broadcast. However, there hasn’t been a single broadcast except for a plain fuzzy sound. They are all alone. Outside of the camp ground, the infected had them completely surrounded.

Before the Government officially announced the anarchy, they bombed the major populated cities to reduce  the spread of the virus. This only made people angry since alot of innocent people died at the same time. Now the government system failed. Now people were on their own. People had right to shoot each other up, and people had right to do what ever they want and get away with it. However, people managed to hold everything together.

There were 12 survivors who survived this disaster. 7 men, 5 women. They stayed together and did their best to survive from the infected people. They guathered weapons, food, water, and clothings. Everyday, they would send some scouts to look for survivors. They didn’t know how long they had to stay alive untill the help arived. They fortified a small school and did everything they could to keep the infected people off.

They had explosives everywhere around the school area, land mines planted on the field, 5 armor piercing machine guns, 2 sniper rifles, 2 assault rifles, 3 shotguns, and 5 handguns. All the windows were completely sealed, and all the doors were barricated. 2 snipers were on guard everytime on the tower they built around the school yard. They were determined to sacrifice their life to exterminate the infected people.

I love all the dystopian stories, so I decided to write a dystpian story myself. 

Everything was going perfect. We lived peacefully. war was over, No more terrorism, and no more distress. Whole world was peaceful. Then one day, a meteorite hit straight into the nuclear power plant in England. At the same time, the biochemical lab also exploded. The effect was unimaginable.

The explosion destroyed everything on its path. However, surprisingly there were a lot of survivors. They were over contaminated with radioactive rays and biochemicals. England had to be concealed and survivors had to be isolated. They all carried this unknown virus. This virus was spread when they came in physical contact with other person. Once a person is infected with this virus, it allowed you to be more physically active. However at the same time, it made you completely insane. You will lose feelings and you will attack everyone that is not infected with this virus. The government blocked the airport, sea port, and all the possible ways that people could go in and out of England. They made a special facility that trapped all the infected people. The containment was believed to be successful. However, soon, the control was lost. the infected people broke through the designated area. The population of the infected are sky rocketing right now. Fortunately, the virus did not go across the other country. However it wouldn’t be too long untill the virus becomes pendamic.

Curfew and Martial law was now active in England. Now the government allowed the citizen to defend themselves from the infected people. They even allowed people to kill the infected people. The whole country was in chaos. Soon, the government system was terminated. Most of the high officals were evacuated and now England faced the Anarchy.
