But this pedestrian knows better than to even try
And my divinity is caught between the colors of a butterfly"
-All There Is (Bad Religion)

Yes I know I skipped straight to the second one. That's because the first one was Shakira and an album I already upload. Maybe I'll come back to at the end. But Bad Religion! This is a band I got into back when I was well... listening to a lot of punk bands that started in the 70's and 80's XD The Descendants, Social Distortion etc etc. I don't know what else to say about them.

I don't think they're particularly exceptional but what they do? They do it well. With each release, you know exactly what to expect from them and if you don't like it you probably never will. But if you're a fan, then you probably love every single damn thing they've ever done. I appreciate this a lot actually. I'm sure more than a few of you have heard me rant about the bullshit Linkin Park pulled on their last album (it's the best example I can think of, Thrice also makes me feel this way but at least they were gradual about it so you can't fault them for doing what they want to do.) Bad Religion is doing something they enjoy and something that they're good at and everyone benefits.

Which is not to say they haven't grown. Any group that's been around for almost three decades is certainly going to change. The music is a lot more polished, in fact I actually think they're pretty incredible musicians from picking apart the tracks of their songs. Especially Bentley. The lyrics have matured a lot too, they can pull out some stunning metaphors when they want. Which brings me to my next point. I normally don't care for bands that are overly political. I can listen to some and even enjoy the music but if I feel like you're trying to throw your anti-conservative peta loving proactive ideology at me then the relationship is never going to be more than casual. Sorry. I just don't care.

But while Bad Religion never fails to bring up controversial political topics I never feel like they're preaching. I think this comes from the fact that even the bad has said they're don't actually feel THAT strongly about some of these issues. I feel like they're actually just trying to get people to think, in general, rather than just subscribe to one way of thinking. And I love that.

So the song I've chosen and the album I uploaded? I don't know if I have a specific reason for choosing them other than they're the ones I keep coming back to over and over again even though I have most of their discography. It should also be said that Epitaph is probably one of my favorite labels XD

No matter how much you fucking bitch about your math hw and whine about your proofs it will never ever EVER be as painful as having to write a goddamn essay. Any essay. At all. Ever. Remember that.

Holy fuck I can't even get through a three page persuasive essay on a super lame topic like artificial sweeteners? THREE PAGES. What is wrong with me. Ihatethissomuch.

I bought an ass ton of cherry coke for this occasional. Woo.

Edit: Also forgot to mention I bought a cd today. Amazing no? Picked up Chasing Hamburg because PBC are amazing and I needed more stuff by them. Even got it for free cause I found a 2 year old gift card XD

Crucify . . . my 1 leaf clover.

TRANS-SIBERIAN ORCHESTRA TONIGHT! Fuck yeah!

And next week it's ballet. Look at me being all cultured and shit.

Crucify . . . my 5 leaf clover.

Step 1 Pick some songs.
Part B Pick some lyrics from those songs.
???
Profit? Or just have your friends guess the song without cheating cause yanno I'm totally going to be able to tell. w/e.

( Have at it )

Wait there's a point to this you say? See whether or not these get guessed, I'll be posting them along with their subsequent albums in the coming, I don't know weeks? I just feel like I might as well be using this journal for something! So yeah... oh and this is pretty much a collection of what I've been listening to lately. None of the bands repeat and I've pretty chosen these for their lyrics, that's what got me started actually \o/

Crucify . . .

Ugh. Sleeping Beauty opens in Toronto this weekend :| Do want. And unlike with Giselle I can get tickets for like $20. Anyone? XD

I wish I could go next weekend instead but it's my mom's birthday XD of course I'll be home for that. Perhaps I will kidnap a Rio and a Penguin too.

Crucify . . . my 8 leaf clover.

I HATE TUTORING THE SMART STUDENTS CAUSE THEY ALWAYS CANCEL >:|

Not because I don't get monies but argh because I'm already here at school and I would much rather not be hanging around here for four hours now. Thanks XD

Random: I turned on my ps2 for the first time in at least 5 months. Have been playing Jak 3. Ogodilovethisseries♥

YEAH THAT'S RIGHT. HARDEST SECTION OF THE CLASS TAKE THAT VECTOR SPACES AND TRANSFORMATIONS AND ALL THAT BULLSHIT. I even got all the true false which are always oh god fml. I wasn't quite sure if I got one of them right so I asked Bernard when I handed everything in and HA. Everything is more or less right. Even had time to check everything. Imma kill the grader if I don't get an A XD

Coupled with the fact that my 311 test also went fairly well (I think it could hopefully be a B) I have significantly less stress for the rest of the semester o god ♥ In fact as it stands I'm pretty much passing 311 which is all I care about. And Linear is all lol eigen values and vectors and oh wait didn't you do this is Diff EQ already? Spanish is pass fail but if I decide to minor in it I still need a good grade. And I pretty much destroyed the first two tests and essays, only one more of each and a presentation to go (unfortunately we are on "persuasive" topics now. Ew.)

And chorus is. Lol. Chorus. At least the music is better this year. Except for the Bach.

And my job is paying me.

And I get to spend the rest of the night pretending to be a twisted sadomasochist

In fact the only thing I'm not happy about right now is the fact that I have no more excuse to not clean my room omg it's gotten so bad in the past week... at least there are no dishes.
