2 years and 3 months!!!!????? you know I first saw the original Star Wars trilogy last spring due to you Brett, but how in the hell am I supposed to stay a fan of this thing if I have to wait soo long, I'll end up forgeting the little things, sure I know the big things but its the little connections that make things awesome.
Hell Lord of the rings is a year apart a piece and thats still waay too long. The 2 next movies in the Matrix Trilogy are gonna be released 6 months apart, and whats fuuny is while that even sets a record for closest sequel release, the produces wanted to release part 3 2 weeks after part 2, now how awesome would that have been. Of course Hollywood weinees wouldn't have anything of the sort so they held out for 6 months, wanted longer but Matrix guys were cool enough to debate for as short as possible.
Oh and the other reason I don't like star Wars at least 'as of' today. Lucas went and changed the damn movies and he didn't even put in anything worthwhile, he added animals in the background or things that are just stupid, its almost as bad as Spielberg changing the guns to walkie talkies in ET, but I never liked ET to begin with. Sure now we see Jabba the Hut walking around but I liked him better when he was a complete lazy slob, it added to his demeanor when he ordered people around, he became a product of his own gluttony. Thats just another of many reasons why Back to the Future is and always will be the best damn Trilogy ever.

I'm bored, plus, I haven't posted in a while. I have a test at 3:10, so I don't get to leave until like maybe 3:30. In the meantime, I have nothing to do. I should study for the test, but I don't really feel like it yet. I figure if I practice it all right before the test, then I'll do better. Isn't that what cramming is all about? Sure I'll forget it right after, but who needs to remember it? Not I. While we're on the subject of tests, I must say that Star Wars Episode II is a freaking AMAZING movie. Ok, so it has nothing to do with tests, but who's reading this anyway? So much crap is going on in that movie all at once, it truly is ground breaking. The CG is integrated flawlessly with the actors and sets. Can someone tell me again why the movie got bad reviews? Sure the dialouge wasn't all that great, but when has it ever been? Hayden Christiansen was beyond great. I can't wait for Episode III. Only 2 years and 3 months left to go. Ok, I'm done typing for now. I'm going to take a nap. Peace.

Heres a good story to tel the kids as to why you should never get worked up over small things cause they add up.
Monday morning here my plan, I stayed home because I was going to be able to pick up my glasses from Elysian Vision at 10am and then leave for Hattiesburg to catch my first of two classes at 2:00 pm, then another class at 3:30 and then a group meeting at 6:15 and end it with some DOS homework and sleep.
So I wake up about 8ish and my mom is back from bringing Justin to school and she says she called Elysian Vision and they are working on my glasses as we speak, I go back to sleep and wake at 10:30. Elysian Vision is apparently still working on my glasses. By the way, for those who don't know, my glasses broke for no reason 4 weeks ago and they are under warranty so my new ones were ordered and supposedly on back order all this time. So anyway come 11:30 I decide to leave without the glasses, I leave and head on to USM and have a nice drive with no traffic, however I arrive exactly 3 minutes after lunch closes and leaves me 12 minutes before I need to leave for class.
At 1:36 I get into the room and see Brett sleeping and decide to pop 2 little pizza things in the microwave, they come out at 1:40 and I eat them and have a grape drink and am done at 1:48 (I usually leave for class at 1:45) So I hurry up use the bathroom put the correct books in and run off to class.
Class is cool, yet another Economics class, I know Mike would love it, hehe. Anyways, about 30 minutes into class I realize that I've forgotten to bring a 3.5 floppy for my next class. Now I'm not positive I need a disk because I missedf this class in the 2nd week due to the flu and we didn;t have class the 3rd week or last week do to MLK day. So not only that but I realize I've also forgotten to bring my doctor's excuse for the 2nd week with me, and usually I don't care about this but one of the teachers I can vaguely recall saying we only get 2 absences but I can't remember which one. So I'm trying to decide If I should jet out of Econ early to run back to the room get my stuff and go back to class or use the 15 minute period between classes to cut it real close. Eventually I decide that I don't like leaving class early espically when I'm interested and also when it could possibly annoy a teach or interrupt class. So we're gonna wait till class is over, only thing is my teacher decided to fgo 5 minutes overtime this day which gives me 10 minutes to run through all the buildings cross Hardy streety go up 4 floors to the room and back. Even better, I catch traffic both times crossing Hardy. I get to the building exactly at 3:31 and its a 3:30 class and I'm going up the stairs as I hear some people bitching about how we don't ever have class for this class, and of course I realize all is for nothing. Of course when I get to the room its a sub telling everyone no class today and she has no other information but that.
I'm back in the room after the group meeting which wen't fairly well. One of our members does booking and promotion for 5 bands around MS. I still need to do my DOS stuff and then I can finally sleep but i'm watching Law and Order right now. Anyways thats is all for tonight, keep it real.

The shoulder and neck is STILL hurting. I took two aleves when I woke up this morning, and it still hurts like a bitch. I don't have any more classes today, nor do I have any classes tomorrow. Normally I'd go home today, but I have a freaking basketball game tomorrow night. I would get someone to switch with me, but I don't know how to get in touch with anyone. O well, no big deal. I'm out of things to say, so I'm going to watch Back to the Future II. Peace.

Dude I saw Mike Sherman last night speak at Bennett Auditorium, he was great awesome. One of my all time favorite speakers as well as people or thinkers in general. He did a whole thing on Why people believe weird things. Among many things he did some BIG ones like John Edwards talking to dead and Tarrot Cards and alien abductions but some of the smaller ones were even better. He had this funny looking device that sold for $900!!!!! to schools that supposedly detected the presence of marijuana. He even used it in the auditorium and supposedly found people with it, basicaly its a little box with an antenna on it and the antenna moves whenfinding mary jane kinda like sticks finding water.
He also showed a study done on body aura masaging that was being sold in hospitals of all places. He basicaly showed how studies are done and then some studies like the study on the aura thing and how a 12 year old girl for a project in school ended up disproving aura masage and it got printed in a 1 of the 2 major medical magazines. He also showed some clips from a TV show he had that ran 13 episiodes where he disproves beliefs or just tried to explain things like walking on fire, which was also a great one I'll explain that one in person. Anyways it was really really cool. Also he said Bill Nye the science guy is gonna have a new show targeted for 18-30 yr olds and in one episode he goes on as a guest for an episode on pseudoscience and does dome disproving of talking to dead, tarrot cards and palm reading. You should watch.

The Two Towers was definitly included. It was nominated for best director (which is lost), and best picture (which I didn't watch long enough to see if it won). I can understand leaving John Williams out because he's a genius (though you shouldn't call it Best original score then), but leaving Howard Shore out (who lost last year to the freaking Moulin Rouge dude) is just a complete rip off. **This Just In** The Hours, won best picture of the year... complete trash. Put three famous women in a movie and people are gay for it. Peace.
Brett 1/20/2003 01:10:00 PM
Brett, it's like Maddux winning the Gold Glove every year. You just pencil him in on opening day. He stays healthy, he wins. I think we're all at the point where we KNOW if John Williams has a score out that year, it's the best. So, like the Crawfish Festival leaving the Robinsons out last year, they give the other people a chance. But just like with the Robinsons, anyone with a brain knows John Williams would've won the category if he were in it.
I don't know about Shore, but was Two Towers included in that ceremony or would that be next year? Was this just any movie released in 2002? Where was the cut-off date?

So I was watching the Golden Globe awards tonight and something about really REALLY pissed me off. One of the categories is entitled "Best Original Score". So if you're going to have a category for Best Original Score, then tell me, WHY IN THE HELL WOULD YOU NOT HAVE JOHN WILLIAMS NOMINATED?!?!?! The score for Star Wars Episode II was by far one of the BEST musical scores ever written. It's an outrage to say that it's not worthy of a "best original score" award. Instead they'd rather nominate the scores for all these "artsy" movies which, quite frankly, suck major balls compared to ANYTHING John Williams has ever written. Now I'm sure you're saying to yourself right now, "cool down Brett, let it slide", and I would let it slide... if it weren't for the fact that these morons also refused to nominate Howard Shore!!! If John Williams' score for Ep. II is the best score ever written, then it is followed closely by one other, Howard Shore's score for The Two Towers. It's such a wonderful musical interpretation of Middle Earth. The fact that it wasn't even nominated, should make one wonder who exactly picks these nominees? I'm convinced that it's all picked by favoritism, and not truly by who is the best. I refuse to watch the Golden Globe awards from here on out. It's complete trash. Not worthy of whatever one billionth of a percent in rating it would get from me watching. Stupid, stupid, stupid, stupid Golden Globes. Peace.
Brett 1/19/2003 11:57:00 PM
The Eagles are losing... so I'm upset. Donovan was putting together an amazing drive, and had them inside the 10yd. line. Then he threw an interception which was run back for a TD. I still say Donovan is the best player in the NFL. It's scary that this is only his 3rd season starting. He'll get his Super Bowl ring one day. I guess this year it was meant to be for the old timers... Rich, Jerry, Tim. Imagine how cool it's going to be if it's a Raiders vs. Bucs Super Bowl. Jon Gruden's new team vs. his old team. If that man isn't one of the greatest coaches ever, then I don't know who is. After all, that Raiders team is still his team. I'd say what the Bucs gave up to get Gruden was well worth it. Who would have thought he'd have that team in the Super Bowl in his first season? My shoulder hurts, and the Raiders game is coming on, so I'm going. Maybe I'll write more later tonight, as I have no class tomorrow, so I'll be up late. Peace.

I just read Andy Huntington's journal. And I completely agree with a post he made about music and how he hasn't listened to anything new in a long time. That's how I am. I don't really care to ever listen to a "new" band at this point. At least not an MTV band. Now, if I see a new touring band that I like and they trade or give me a CD (cause we all know I haven't had $5 in months) then sure I'll listen to it. But why pay $17 to go buy a new CD by some band I won't like in 6 months?
Andy said he's been listening to either bands he's liked for years or 50's music. And that's me! Although, I'm more 60's than 50's, but I've been listening to lots of Buddy Holly and Everly Brothers. Damn, the Everly Brothers were so punk. They have this song "I'm Here To Get My Baby Out of Jail."
And yeah, other than that, I've just been listening to bands I've been listening to for years. Let's see... off the top of my head, here's what's in my Jeep (and I haven't changed the tapes since Thanksgiving or so...):
The Eels Daisies from the Galaxy
The Cars greatest hits
The Everly Brothers greatest hits
The Robinsons CD!GI? and Summer Fun
The Beatles Meet The Beatles and Let It Be
Weezer Maladroit
Imperial Teen On
Richard live at Espresso Yourself
And I think that's it. So, that's the past 2 months right there. Of course in the car and at home I break out CD's. But really, the only "new" big bands I listen to would be New Found Glory and Simple Plan. And I think that's it. And even then... I think Second Saturday and Feable Weiner are both better than those 2 bands. I think the Donnas have finally found a niche, but I know it's a crafted sound. Maybe if it were some touring band that no one ever heard of, who'd been doing this for months or years... then maybe I'd buy the CD or something. But I just can't get into The Donnas. So what else is there? Nothing. It's all the same people, the same names. Beatles, beach boys, buddy holly, the cars, the carpenters, depeche mode, the cure, weezer, everclear, oasis, nerfherder, nada surf, superdrag, queers, huntingtons, mtx, pulp, blur, belle & sebastian, etc, etc, etc...
And I like it that way. I used to WANT to find new bands. I guess it's cause I can't afford it that I just don't care. Hehe. I pick up the Lagniappe and pray that I don't see a show that I want to go to. Cause it's just my luck, I'd see something like the Queers or MTX at the Matador or some crap. Then how would I pay for that? Stay away! Don't come here! Not right now. hehe... sick.
Anyway, Andy just recorded 2 songs. Go here and right-click and select "save as"... http://www.lidskan.net/andy/. The first one is an awesome Richie Valens cover and the 2nd is a 50's-sounding instrumental that he wrote. At least he's doing something while his band is out touring. It sounds pretty good. Yet another person who I'd love to start a band with if I lived close to them...

Ok, I promised I'd write more, but now I'm really tired and don't have much to say anyway. Morning classes are cancelled tomorrow because our President is having some sort of Announcement thingy. Works for me. I just did my theory homework! I dont' normally do homework. I started playing GTA: Vice City and can now say that the game officially kicks ass. I love 80's metal and New Wave. Stealing motor bikes is fun. I finished reading The Crimson Shadow Trilogy today. I reccomend the trilogy to any fantasy fans. R.A. Salvatore is a great writer. Now I'm starting on his Demon trilogy. These books are a bit longer than the others, but it'll be fine. Ok, I'm going to bed now. Peace.

If a 5 year old kicks another 5 year old in the balls in some forrest and no one is around. Does it make a sound?
So anyway, while I may be told by the doctor to skip class for 2 days cause she doesn't want me spreading the flu, its really not worth all the (for lack of a better term) throwing up that went on Sunday and monday along with the 110 degree fever, the chills followed by a horrible sweat, not being able to even drink water and keep it down. I'm quite a bit away from that now but I still have shivers and upset stomachs occasionally and of course I'm still exhausted so most of my time is spent sleeping.
So heres the thing that's stupid about medications. 1 of them is ok its suposed to stop nausea and vomiting. its a every 4 to 6 hours type thing then the flu medicine is every 12 hours or twice a day for the next 5 days. I have to take it even after the flu is gone until the medication runs out. Heres the catch though, not to mention that the flu stuff has nasuea as a side effect. I have to take this medicine with food. So that means for the food industry I am definitly going to eat at 9am and 9pm for the next 5 days which is crap. And the little bottle shows a burger which could be a subliminal message telling me to eat meat to take the pills down. So is it that the makers of this drug have actually made a deal with the burger people and they have a way of getting sick people to eat meat constantly for 5 days, huh huh. Yeah well I'm not about to fall victim to their evil plan.

It's funny to see Brett listening to cool music and quoting cool people. A few years ago, he'd only quote Bone Thugz.
I hate the flu. HATE. Hate it with a capital HATE.
PCB has one fan and she's freaking NUTS. That sucks.
I also hate school. The only thing I hate more than the flu is school. (I like teaching. Not learning.)

So whats the difference between A strong case of the flu and just having the flu. Can my flu like kick other flu's asses or something. All I know is this flu plus medication just makes me all sleepy and hey, why not, the doctor excused me from classes for 2 days so I see no other reason not to sleep all day.
Allen Wedge 1/14/2003 09:55:00 AM
Wow, 2 posts in one day. I haven't done this in a while. It's like 12 am here, and I'm not the slightest bit tired. I've been having trouble sleeping lately and I have no clue why. Maybe it's the Aleve. If it is the Aleve, then so be it. I'd rather be tired, than be in pain. So I got this idea just a little while ago that I'd just post some really random thoughts on here. Once again... I have nothing better to do, so here goes:
I wish I could sleep
I wish Friends came on ALL day
I hate school
I hate being away from home
I hope everyone likes Sally's Stitches
I wish I could see Lord of the Rings: Return of the King right now
I wish I had a lot of money
I wish I could write songs
I hope when they make the next Halloween, they bring Busta back
I hate my suite mate
I want Arabi Diner right now
I want the Eagles to win the Super Bowl
I would love to see the Aquabats live
One day I want to play a show with Reel Big Fish
It'd sure be nice if Pepper could stay in the dorm with me
Joe Millionare is a cool show
I wish chicks liked me
Coke is the best soft drink ever
Chicken Bacon Swiss sandwiches are great
Some chicks piss me off
Sebastian is by far the coolest little gay kid ever
I want to learn to play guitar
I want to OWN a guitar
Someday I want to go on tour
I wish MoJo would DIE
I'm sick of living in a dorm room
I miss New Orleans (even though I just left)
Nothing good is on tv
Hooters really does have good food
I wish I didn't need glasses or contacts
I wish the Ramones were still alive and together
One day I want to get a giant tattoo on my arm
I wish people would quite complaining to me about how bad their lives are... get over it
Ok, I think I'm done for now once again. I'm gonna go lie down and watch the minutes tick away on the clock. Tomorrow at the Commons, they have grilled chicken strips, breadsticks, and cheese cubes. I'm such a sucker for cheese cubes... mmmmmm... cheese cubes and fountain coke. Can it get much better than that? I think not. Peace.

Hey, how's it going? Not much going on around here. I missed class this morning because I wasn't able to sleep last night, therefore I wasn't able to drive to USM this morning. No big deal. I wanted to post this weekend but I couldn't because I no longer have a computer at my house. So whenever I go home I just have to wait until Sunday night or Monday afternoon to post... once again, no big deal. This weekend was pretty eventfull and fun. Friday night, Ryan, Rocky, and I went out to Metarie just for the hell of it. First we went to Best Buy to look for some movies and cds. When we got to Best Buy we realized that it was closed. If Ryan hadn't taken 30 minutes to put on a freaking sweater we could have been there before it closed... but NOOOOOOO. So we move along to Barnes and Nobles. Not much was happening in there, so we went to Warehouse Music. We tried to convince Ryan to buy some CDs... but we had no luck. I bought The Queers Live In West Hollywood cd, while Rocky bought some Rancid crap... I hate political punk rock, it's just no fun, because they have to worry about... well... politics. I am more than certain that Joe Queer doesn't worry about politics while writing his songs. You really can't get any less political than "I Like Young Girls". The same goes for the Ramones. Dee Dee didn't give a damn about political views when he wrote great songs like "Chinese Rock". I guess that's what makes some bands better than others. It's like Guttermouth said, "Anti Flag isn't any fun because they have 'a message' ".
So after the trip to Warehouse Music we went to Hooters... and I must say, DAMN THEY HAVE SOME GOOD FOOD! Ryan's face was red nearly the whole time we were there. Rocky of course was in heaven. He even asked our waitress out, but she totally rejected him. He still left her like an eight dollar tip... sucker. On the way home from Hooters we decided to show Ryan the Lebeau Mansion. While we were there, Rocky and I noticed the fence was broken down, so we went right up to the mansion and touched it. On the way back to the car we realized that Ryan was currently engaged in a conversation with a St. Bernard Police Officer. Normally I have nothing but bad things to say about St. Bernard Pigs... but this dude was cool, and just told us to get out of there. Finally we headed to Rocky's house and watched one of the greatest recent comedies... The New Guy. Thus ended one cool Friday night.
Saturday we had a Sally's Stitches practice, and in my opinion got a lot done. Sure we only learned one more original, and sure it still needs work, but that makes 4 songs that we know. We also decided on the covers which we are going to play for the battle of the bands. We shall kick some ass. We got this really cool bop, bop, bop thing going with Summer Wonderland... I can wait till we get to play some shows. Next we watched the Eagles kick some ass. D is by far the best QB in the NFL. I went to Arabi Diner, and met up with Rocky, from there we proceded to put Christmas trees on Norm and Ryan's lawns. That just about ended Saturday night, and pretty much ended the weekend.
Now I'm here at USM watching WWE. I haven't watched wrestling in so long... but there's just nothing else on tv right now. I guess that's also why I'm writing so much... I have nothing else to do. I must say, I do agree with Ryan's theory about college. Half the classes I'm required to take, I'll never need anyway, so why MAKE me pay for them? Ok, Friends is on, so I'm gonna go watch it. Peace.

The shoulder's still hurting... I wish I had brought my medicine with me from home, I know for sure that stuff would help, but I left it home for a reason, becuse if I take it, it puts me to sleep and I can't wake up for class. Damn that was one hell of a run on sentence. It's hot in the dorm room. For some reason they don't like to let us have Air Conditioning. I hate that. We should be able to control that crap ourselves! Stupid dorm. Ok, I'm outta here for now. Peace.

My left shoulder and neck hurt like hell. It's been this way since I left Ryan's New Years Eve party early. Just felt like complaining about it here... and I'm trying to post at least once a day, even if it is something small. Ok, I'm actually going to bed early now (it's only 11:10), so maybe I'll post longer tomorrow. Peace!

I'm taking waaay too many hours and no online classes so its making it seem like even more classes. The best part is that I already have homework yippe. Homework is stupid, its like having a job but you don't get paid. I have 2 crazy Marketing classes, one of which is 'Creative Marketing' and my teacher is all like; everything is creation at some point and innovation is the worst point because the point of your job is to make people realize what you have out there even if it is obscure.
I was thinking about how some items got introuced and how well they went over with people. Like for instance you ever notice how people using new technology get nmade fun of usualy for it, for instance, the first people to really get into computers were the really big nerds and simply because others didn't understand them, same for video games, and even television from what I have read, supposedly people seperated themselves from TV having families and non cause TV was elite just like computers were elite when they first came out, now everyone has a tv and we're almost to the point where everyone has a computer.
Do you think the same thing happened for say..... shoes??? do you think a bunch of guys back in the day made fun of the dde who invented shoes (maybe sandals back then) because they were stupid looking and because they covered up his feet. Later on they probrably realized that a lot of foot pain could be avoided by wearing these things so then this guy starts making money by making some for other people but at cost cause it was an elite thing.
Hell what do you think happened to the first person wearing eye-glasses. Imagine a world without glasses then one day a friend comes walking around with this crazy device stuck on his face, you ask him what the hell he has on his face cause its like a mask but you can clearly see his face. he then says that it corrects his vision and you don't believe him so he gives them to you but you don't have bad vision so it only blurs yours and you think he's full of it but then he starts making money and we go eliteist again.
Just think about inventions and how crazy they must have been at first. Think about the first guy to ever have an umbrella!!! Boy I bet he got his ass kicked. First person to ever have a cast made out of hardened tissue instead of tying a cloth at 2 ends of a stick to a leg. What about the first person to ever ride a horse!!!!
by the way, I've become completely nuts over the new minibosses songs, If you've never heard their stuff before I really reccommend it. All they do is cover old Nintndo songs and the 2 new ones are Double Dragon and Mega Man 2. Mege Man 2 is to die for. I mean even if you don't like the old NES songs the guitar bass and drum work is simply amazing that they not only managed to play what is originally done on a computer but have even been able to recreate some of the unique squeals and distortions on the games.
Go Seahawks!!!

I wish every day was as easy as the first day of class. No work, no learning. You just sit there and listen to the teacher go over the course outline. I'm eating M&M's with almonds. These things are awesome, though your jaw starts to get tired after eating so many of them... but it's worth it. Ok, I'm out of here. Peace.

Looks like Ryan and I were right about those Falcons. Green Bay just couldn't contend with the Hip one. Now the Falcons play the Eagles... and when it comes down to it... D is just more hip than MV. After all, D IS the original Hip Hop Quarterback. He's stronger, smarter, and he eats his Chunky Soup before every game. Give that game to the Eagles. I think this is the year I'll finally get to see my OTHER 2 favorite teams match off in the Super Bowl. Eagles vs. Raiders, with the Eagles taking it all.... sorry Rich and Jerry, you've both been good to me, but Donovan's been better. It'd be cool if Rich and Jerry actually read this... if you two are reading this, then I take back what I said one sentence ago... you guys ROCK. So I saw The Two Towers for the 4th time Thursday, and it was just as good as it was the first time. It really is an amazing movie, and Sam really is the greatest character EVER.
Tomorrow I go back to my dorm room. This semester should be A LOT easier than last semester, due to the fact that I don't have band practice. I just show up when we have games, and I play. It's just that easy. Once again I'm taking all music classes, but this may be my last semester at USM. I'm thinking about coming back home for school and going to Holy Cross to major in Criminal Justice. From there I could possibly go on to law school if I want to... but by that time Sally's Stitches will be the biggest thing in the World... kinda like the Beatles were... hehehehehehehehe. Ok, I'm off to drink some Coke... and maybe play some Golden Sun (I got this game like last Spring and still haven't beaten it). Peace.

I think the Saints are going to have a HUGE turnover in players again. Like 1/3 of the roster, I'm sure, if not more. I wouldn't be surprised even if Turley, Brooks, or Haslett are gone. I say this because of Mueller's being fired. We didn't really have time to soak that in when it happened, but now, think about it. Benson's serious. You have to give him credit for that. Mueller paid for last year's collapse. Who will pay for this year's?
