Some of my old blockmates are in my MEDIART class (haha! I knew I would catch up to you eventually!) and I don't really know anyone in my major classes (meaning I get to concentrate on my work...gasp! Responsible Carlo!) But it's a little brain damaging to be studying Director and Flash at the same time. Damndamndamn. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Woke up yesterday to a text of "Good Morning Baby". Thinking it was Rica I grinned and was about to text back until I realized it was from Jal. The moron. Anyway it turns out he had a gig over in the Quadrangle. Hurray for Sugarfree. Sugarfree overload yesterday, if it wasnt on the radio it was in my face. I've been singing Burnout nonstop. Damn you Jal.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'm actually quite hungover. Damn my pussy tolerance all of a sudden. &lt;br /&gt;Monty's birthday yesterday so I trooped over to Rock2Metal for the big ol' shebang with 18 bands. Too bad most of them stunk. I saw the worst "punk" band ever and I couldn't figure out if they sucked more or less than Indiemo. Now correct me if i'm wrong, but Im pretty damn sure you tend to sound better if you actually TUNE your guitar before playing. Stupid kids. Actually, I'm really getting tired of stupid kids nowadays. Jorge's prod. last Friday at RRC was full of them, all running around while being annoying and tryign to act all cool because they dress like they came out of a Simple Plan video. Stupid fucking annoying children. Why can't they just be themselves instead of what MTV tells them to be. Stupid fucking anoying children.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yes I am an elitist snob. But so what?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There's a hypnotist in RRC tonight. Sounds like fun. Friday Cynthia A. at Sanctum and Saturday Drink&amp;Drive. Funfilled weekend I believe.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5761847-107415369378082335?l=solitaryecho.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5761847/posts/default/107415369378082335'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5761847/posts/default/107415369378082335'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://solitaryecho.blogspot.com/2004_01_01_archive.html#107415369378082335' title=''/><author><name>Carlo</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10293993641219063640</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5761847.post-107350474710151046</id><published>2004-01-08T03:45:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2004-01-08T03:47:00.013+08:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>Wow, I haven't updated in forever.  In honor of the new year, I resolve to update this blog on a regular basis!  Suuuuuure.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My list of resolutions also includes: &lt;br /&gt;- Cut down on smoking (riiiiight)&lt;br /&gt;- Make honors (phweh)&lt;br /&gt;- Failing that, at least get one 4.0 per term.  Honest.&lt;br /&gt;- Kill FPJ&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So I am once more back in this pisshole country, and after being out of local affairs for two weeks I find out that our good buddy Erap has been allowed to leave for the US for medical treatment. The state of this nation is apalling. Lord knows what else has been going on in my absence. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My last few days in New York were, well, fun. Quiet and relaxing, but fun nonetheless. Well, the Catch22 show wasn't relaxing nor quiet. Punchline sucks. Sucks hardcore. And I feel so special with my stupid old over 21 band (woohoo, $5 beers. Yarrgg.)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I spent half of New Years Eve down on 59th with Rod beating up a dirty old stuffed parrot with its tail. You had to be there. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I didn't think I had time to meet up with Drew on my last day, but it turns out that my uncle and dad didn't get back fro mtheir ski trip till around 8pm that night, which means i spent about 3 hours sitting on my ass in Staten Island. Yarr. Oh, and I couldn't find a calling card to give you a buzz and let you know I hadn't died in a plane crash, but I figure this works. :P&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Today was definitely one of those WTF?! days.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I girl I hooked up with and went obsessive on me is in the new FHM. Odd. She's still ugly.&lt;br /&gt;I found out a kid I went to high school with was shot over the vacation. Crazy.&lt;br /&gt;Nicole got in touch with me after 209798213475908237528904352 years. Wild.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And Urban Dub's Quiet Poetic is a brilliant song to make out to.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And in order to close out this oh so incredibly lame entry, I'm going to be a trendwhore and compile all those lovely (and not so lovely) moments of randomness that occured in 2003. because I have nothing better to do and I'm jetlagging.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I went wakeboarding. &lt;br /&gt;Somone thought I was a daddy.&lt;br /&gt;Discovered KAFE.&lt;br /&gt;Lost KAFE.&lt;br /&gt;Rica.&lt;br /&gt;Became a bartender.&lt;br /&gt;Realized that fuckers in this country don't tip bartenders.&lt;br /&gt;Yelled at some soccer mom.&lt;br /&gt;Lorded over Rock Radio Cafe.

I've been meaning to get a Deviantart account anyway. (Yield to conformity you bastard).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Last week was way too slow for me, or hectic depending on how you looked at it. I've been out every night since last Tuesday with nothing to show for it but my lovely eyebags that probably reach my chin. Hows that for a visual? Thursday was Urban Dub (again) and Alex gave me a discount on some shirts and I got a free Lighter Press sticker. Hurray for freebies. Caught the DLSZ BoB winners Milano, who surprised me. They're actually quite good. They're stil lyoung and need some fine tuning, but the talent is there. I think I'll be booking them sometime soon. I don't remember Friday. I guess thats a good sign. According to Crystal, "if ya can't remember the night, it was probably fun." Riiiight. Saturday I decided, last minute as usual, to go over to check out the ISM Rocks the Ramp shindig. Well, actually it was more of Enzo's desicion and I had nothing better to do. Ran around Rockwell, bumped into familiar faces and had as much fun as anyone can have while possessing only 70 bucks, no cigarettes and an overwhelming desire to kill teenyboppers. Though me and Enzo did get to sing with Spongecola. Yes, we sang What It Is To Burn. Color me humiliated. That song again. To think me and Enzo were joking around about how Spongecola always ends with that song minutes before Rayfab asked Enzo to sing. Sure, I thought I was free then since Raymz asked only Enzo, but noooo, Yael has to go and drag me up there too. Yeesh. &lt;i&gt;Oh shut up Carlo you had fun. Stop being such a cynic and admit it.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I finally managed to encode my classes for next term too, and for once, I don't have to adjust. Thank God, because I don't know how I would have managed to adjust if I'm going to be out of town this holiday. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;Speaking of which, for the Tech Kids or anyone else who reads this thing thats based in NY, please tell me there is at least one damn decent show during my holiday. If theres no one worth watching I think my head will explode.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Back to rambling. For anyone who cares, and for my benefit because I know I will forget or lose the piece of paper I wrote this on, my lovely new scholarly arrangment for education is as follows:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;MWF&lt;br /&gt;1030-1130: AESTHET (Again...)&lt;br /&gt;1140-1240: COSK1-R (ah shaddup)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;text="small"&gt;Monday Only&lt;/small&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1-4: MEDIART&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tuedays&lt;br /&gt;9-12: DESPREL (yes yes, I'm a loser)&lt;br /&gt;1-4: ANICART&lt;br /&gt;6-9: DRAFTNG&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I love it. No class Thursdays, early dismissals on Wednesdays and Fridays, and no class earlier than 10:30 except on Tuesday. Not bad at all.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have a paper due tommorow. I decided my time would be better spent downloading massive amounts of pornography. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5761847-107030137763768809?l=solitaryecho.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5761847/posts/default/107030137763768809'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5761847/posts/default/107030137763768809'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://solitaryecho.blogspot.com/2003_12_01_archive.html#107030137763768809' title=''/><author><name>Carlo</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10293993641219063640</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5761847.post-106969865733374559</id><published>2003-11-25T02:30:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2003-11-25T02:31:26.903+08:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>2 hours of downloading songs&lt;br /&gt;An hours worth of mindless idiotboxing&lt;br /&gt;God knows how long on the phone/chatting&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Plus&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Kill Bill&lt;br /&gt;Supertroopers&lt;br /&gt;And an Indiana Jones Marathon.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One useless Livejournal entry&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Not to mention my new toy DSL.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have perfected the artform of procrastination.  I don't even have time to play guitar anymore because I'm so busy procrastinating (say what?)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But let me shamelessly plug something:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Saturday, December 13th&lt;br /&gt;SonicDeathMonkey Productions &amp; Rock Radio Cafe presents:&lt;br /&gt;PARE, ROCK BAH YAHN?!&lt;br /&gt;A night of music and rowdiness and shallow little inside jokes.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Featuring:&lt;br /&gt;Petrex&lt;br /&gt;Death of Meaning&lt;br /&gt;Sultans of Snap&lt;br /&gt;Severo&lt;br /&gt;Mayonnaise&lt;br /&gt;Silent Sanctuary&lt;br /&gt;Kjwan&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Show starts at 8ish.  150 bucks or a blowjob will get you in.&lt;br /&gt;/End shameless plug.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And yes, I know the name is a High Fidelity rip off, but hell, I like it.  Plus it makes sense.  I'm Sonic (on air), Ghoul's Death (Well he &lt;b&gt;IS&lt;/b&gt; pasty white), and well, that leaves Tanada as our Monkey.  Which everyone agrees to anyway.  Please go, I figure if we can make enough money I'll a) be able to feed myself at school and b) prove to Old Farty Geezer Pervet Bottle Victim that me and Ghoul bring in a better crowd than his stupid house band, and we can DJ again (crosses fingers).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'll update about my weekend when I'm not &lt;strike&gt;so busy&lt;/strike&gt; procrastinating.  I'll probably post pictures too.  If you're lucky.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And I would like to add that Danny Elfman will always be a fucking genius.  I spent the day downloading most of his music (thank you DSL).  I find I tend to be a little more creative while listening to his stuff.  Specifically the Edward Scissorhands soundtrack.  God bless his soul.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;24 days and counting...&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas...&lt;/i&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5761847-106969865733374559?l=solitaryecho.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5761847/posts/default/106969865733374559'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5761847/posts/default/106969865733374559'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://solitaryecho.blogspot.com/2003_11_01_archive.html#106969865733374559' title=''/><author><name>Carlo</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10293993641219063640</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5761847.post-106803662463710438</id><published>2003-11-05T20:50:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2003-11-05T20:50:23.320+08:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>While doing research on my speech about Santa Claus (yes, I'm doing a speech on Santa, you have a problem with that bub?), I stumbled across &lt;a href="http://www.landoverbaptist.org/"&gt;this&lt;/a&gt; hihgly interesting site...

Because I'm damn comfy there.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Of course people were scared shitless.  I don't understand the mentality over being afraid of clowns.  Sheesh.  &lt;lj user="kawaiikrisna"&gt; couldn't even look at me :P  Yes, I was a clown.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I managed to stay sober last night too, sure, I drank, but nothing liek I did on Thursday after that stupidass drinking contest.  You ever tried chugging the Big Red Horse Stallions? I didn't think so.  And I was up against "MrBeerBong" Jinggoy, so I had no hope (Though I would have beaten him if it wasn't for that longass burp I had).  Andto top it all off, I managed to get all of my beers without paying a cent.  Hurray for good friends. :P&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyway, It was Urban Dub round 3 for me and AlexPhatBoy couldn't seem to get over the fact that I kept coming back.  Dude, your boys kick ass, of course I want more Urban Dub.  Yeesh.  I had a long discussion with him on Thursday concerning the differences between manila and cebu bands, and the quality of music, the drive, etc.. it all comes down to this apparently: The weather. :D  Then we figured that it may have something to do with the massive amounts of hot rocker chicks in alabang helps bands get together REALLY fast, but doesn't give the bands the same drive, because in Cebu, they need to work harder to find the hotties...or something like that...you'll need to ask Phatboy to confirm....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Saw some absolutely rocking costumes last night, including this fat little siopaopudgefactory kid wearing a Buzz Lightyear costume.  Hehe.  Then there was the massive amounts of cross dressers.  Most of them seemed to be in Assumption uniforms too...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;*remembers grabbing Tomas' chest while remarking "I've always wanted to do this to an Assumpsionista..."*&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As for Zach, he had the biggest gonzongas I've ever seen on man or woman (Javi included)  And now that I've seen Enzo in a dress, I can see why all the women find him cute... *I kid I kid*  Actually, I should give the Severo boys an award for being the most-decked-out-band.  Only Pat and JR weren't there.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;RJ was dressed as "Violent Playground Singer".... uh... wait, thats no costume *harhar corny*.  Speaking of which, if anyone cares to see our Boss/Sir RJ Ocha get back up on stage and make an ass out of himself singing the "Starvation Army", or if you're just a fan of Violent Playground in general, drop by Rock Radio Cafe on the 22nd for a lovely Violent Playground Reunion.  Hooha! *end shameless plug*&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So Rj told me that Harry wasn't gonna be around so I got hosting duties.  Asteeg.  Not only that, but I got to introduce Urban Dub!  *spoogespants*  One of those moments I will always treasure... *sniff* ... Ah who am I kidding. :P  Thanks to everyone who showed up: &lt;a href="http://www.livejournal.com/~compound"&gt;Pao&lt;/a&gt;,&lt;a href="http://www.livejournal.com/~planetclaire"&gt;Claire&lt;/a&gt;,&lt;a href="http://www.livejournal.com/~saintly_devil"&gt;Fatima&lt;/a&gt;,&lt;a href="http://www.livejournal.com/~kawaiikrisna"&gt;Krisna&lt;/a&gt;,&lt;a href="http://www.livejournal.com/~sickgurl420"&gt;Chiara&lt;/a&gt;,&lt;a href="http://www.livejournal.com/~semicharmed"&gt;Jill&lt;/a&gt;,&lt;a href="http://www.livejournal.com/~jenvg"&gt;Jenna&lt;/a&gt;,&lt;a href="http://www.livejournal.com/~nixc"&gt;Nix&lt;/a&gt;, The Jek crowd, whoever else I forgot, and &lt;A href="http://delusionalbitch.blogspot.com"&gt;Ryx&lt;/a&gt;, thank you for supporting the station guys.

Why?  Urban Dub kicks ass.  And because I was obliterated.  Belligerent.  Intoxicated.  Drunk.  Etc.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyway, started the night off with the Kontrabanda thingie over in the Ampitheater at DLSU, which marks only my thrid time to cross the street into mainland La Salle (harhar, I told a funny, bleh).  Enzo got me into the band room where I shamelessly ploughed through the food.  The Sugarfree guys showed up for a while and me and Jal began our customary "where are the hotties" debate. Yes, we are immature like that.  Sat through till the end of Sugarfree before heading over to Monix's birthday shindig at Rock2Metal.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Free entrance and free beer.  I was loving it.  Yes, I took full advantage and abused those free beer coupon thingies of Mows.    Then I went and lost my dignity by falling flat on my ass (stupid ass chair).  Yeah yeah, keep laughing.  Urban Dub absolutely rocked.  I havent had that much fun at a show since, well, the last Urban Dub show. :P  I wasn't able to get a hold of the new album because, well I was to drunk to beg.  I'll wait till Halloween, they'll be at RockRadio anyway.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I had a lovely political talk with my mother over lunch today.  It went along the lines of us bitching about Fernando Poe JRs. chances of running for presidency and the idiots who are backing him.  I recall one senator even saying "It doesn't matter if he has no experience, he's an honest individual, he's the KING!".  Shoot me now.  These are the people running our country.  Then they say thats its ok for him not to have ANY experience whatsover because he'll have people to help him with that... uh, then WHATS THE POINT OF RUNNING FOR PRESIDENT?!  Geez. I don't believe people can be that stupid to vote for a man who didn't even finish high school, let alone has ZERO experience in politics.  We really are run by a bunch of hairless monkeys.  Migration here I come.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And I can't find the pants for my clown costume.  Roar.  May have to settle for the Mad Hatter.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5761847-106707743774021299?l=solitaryecho.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5761847/posts/default/106707743774021299'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5761847/posts/default/106707743774021299'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://solitaryecho.blogspot.com/2003_10_01_archive.html#106707743774021299' title=''/><author><name>Carlo</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10293993641219063640</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5761847.post-106636411623454173</id><published>2003-10-17T12:15:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2003-10-17T12:15:16.190+08:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>After much thought over what exactly to dress up as for halloween, ranging from not bothering, to cheesy, to simply outlandish, I've realized there's a common fear amongst many of my friends.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Clowns.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'm oging to be a clown for halloween, of course Crystal, Rica and Krisna claim they won't go near me and Adrian says he'll shoot me in the leg, but I figure, it'll be worth it.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So if you're in the Alabang area on Halloween and you see a clown bouncing along Madrigal Ave with a handful of balloons, then it's probably me. :P&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I don't get why people are so frightened of them anyway, sure, they can be a little creepy but seriously, have any of you guys watched "IT" lately? The movie that so scared me as a child isn't that scary once you realize Tim Curry plays Pennywise.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And if you really have a problem with clowns, check out Killer Clowns from Outerspace.  If the prospect of "evil" clowns shooting popcorn guns and trapping people in giant gumballs doesn't change your view on them, nothing will.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5761847-106636411623454173?l=solitaryecho.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5761847/posts/default/106636411623454173'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5761847/posts/default/106636411623454173'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://solitaryecho.blogspot.com/2003_10_01_archive.html#106636411623454173' title=''/><author><name>Carlo</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10293993641219063640</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5761847.post-106606589201559579</id><published>2003-10-14T01:24:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2003-10-14T01:32:00.836+08:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>I knew there was something fishy about Lacson!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.boomspeed.com/nutsonfire/pingrinch.jpg"&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The resemblance is uncanny!

It's been to long so it got to the point of me and Aranza crawling off eventually to find something less strenuous to do.  Typical bums.  The Pelayos were there and a bunch of the kids were skating, so me being the old geezer I decided to join them since its been eons since I last skated.  Needless to say I sucked nuts.  At least I wasn't kissing asphalt like Anton.  Either way after wearing myself out on the field, I decided it would be a &lt;strike&gt;dumb&lt;/strike&gt; good idea to drag out my skateboard when I got home.  Right.  20 minutes later i'm on the sidewalk half dead and clinging onto my deck for my life.  I am way out of shape.  Though the &lt;strike&gt;pain&lt;/strike&gt; exercise did feel good, so I think I'll do this again regularly &lt;I&gt;*Gasp! Carlo getting healthy?  Will wonders never cease?*&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I was dragged to Ruins for a bit too by the family, more specifically my sister.  Hurray for bootleg DVDs.  I've noticed that if you &lt;i&gt;really&lt;/i&gt; look hard in that place you can find quite a good selection in the midst of shit like Femme Fatale and SClub 7.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What I bought today:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Willard&lt;br /&gt;Black Hawk Down&lt;br /&gt;Better Luck Tommorow (which I've never heard of but looks promising)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And my prized purchase:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hook.  Yes, motherfucking Hook.  I fucking rule.  Godammit I'm so happy I found this thing.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now all I need to find is Goonies and Nightmare Before Christmas.  Booya.  &lt;br /&gt;I even found Das Boot there.  Too bad I didn't have anymore cash to get it.  I've been meaning to watch it in its entirety.  I only saw parts of it when I saw it with Evan and Lincoln and it seemed pretty damn interesting.  I also found American History X, and the Exorcist.  Nice.  I am still searching for Labrynth, Willow and Dark Crystal.  Roar.  The movies that were so much fun as a child are still as good as an adult.  I think that was the one shining moment the Inconsiderate Bitch had, re-introducing me to those movies.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What pisses me off is all those people who think that they're the shit when it comes to movies because they thought all those artsy films were good.  Sure, talk about following trends.  Don't try and talk to me saying how Run Lola Run was fuckign brilliant if you didn't really pay attention and you're only following what everyone else is saying.  Personally I disliked the movie.  As well as Y Tu Mama Tambien.  Why everyone seems to love that movie is beyond me.  It's basically softporn with some cool moments thrown in (like the asides from the narrator).  Yes, I grasped the message that the film was trying to say, but did you?  Or were you to busy whacking off?  People tend to overlook the message of the film and just say its great because everyone else does.  &lt;br /&gt;And I'm talking out of my ass again aren't I?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5761847-106596546459867092?l=solitaryecho.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5761847/posts/default/106596546459867092'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5761847/posts/default/106596546459867092'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://solitaryecho.blogspot.com/2003_10_01_archive.html#106596546459867092' title=''/><author><name>Carlo</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10293993641219063640</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5761847.post-106572207472509098</id><published>2003-10-10T01:54:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2003-10-10T02:09:03.416+08:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>Yet another Crystal moment (sorta):&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;calryst (4:41:20 PM): by the way crystals soooo wasted ryt now hahaha!&lt;br /&gt;punkisdead247 (1:37:09 AM): Ahahahah&lt;br /&gt;punkisdead247 (1:37:11 AM): wer is she?&lt;br /&gt;calryst (4:42:43 PM): home i guess, she textd me "IM SOOO WASTED" hahah! thers bound to be another crystal moment in the near future&lt;br /&gt;punkisdead247 (1:38:33 AM): Ahahahaha&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I swear, I should write a goddamn book.

Hurray.  I have my life back.  Now I can stop procrastinating and go back to work.  Pfft.  Yea right.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Due Friday is the preliminary layouts for our MRT interface terminals/ticket dispenser things.  How convinient it is that the MRT website seems to have vanished preventing me from gaining access to .gif route maps and ticket prices.  Wunderbar.  I am so useless without the internet.  To top it all off, I have to submit the outline of our COMORAL speech tommorow, and I have yet to choose a topic.  I refuse to do something completely retarded like "Why weed should be legal" and I also don't want to get into something too complex like "Base nuclear physics (harhar)".  Our teacher wants us to pick something that would relate to our classmates.  In other words to adjust the speech to the audience.  Sure, all well and good but its too bad half of my classmates are raging retards.  The only topic that seems to come to mind is talking about why Mcdonalds burgers are and always will be better than Jolibee.  Yes, I am hungry.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Speaking about stupid classmates, a lovely little incedent occured in GEPSYCH recently that made me question the intelligence of my classmates... well, other than their stupid dumbass snickering everytime we talk about something that &lt;i&gt;remotely&lt;/i&gt; deals with sex.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;Prof: So, who can define the S-R approach?&lt;br /&gt;Idiot man-child: Miss, it's the Stimulus-Response thingie.&lt;br /&gt;Prof: define thingie, I know its stimulus-response, but what does that mean?&lt;br /&gt;Idiot man-child: Uh.. you know, when things respond to stimulus.&lt;br /&gt;Prof: Very good.&lt;br /&gt;Me: WTF?!  He didn't even answer the fucking question!! WTF?! *streamofincoherentcursing*&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hay buhay.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And this conversation with Dreyfuss "I look like Mick Jagger" Clemente made me squeal like a little girl.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;I&gt;andre_n_clemente: dude guess what dvd i found?&lt;br /&gt;Dirty_Landlubber: what?&lt;br /&gt;andre_n_clemente: transformers the movie&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/I&gt;&lt;br /&gt;*squeals*&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The only way to truly appreciate that movie is hearing Pao singing the theme song&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;Dirty_Landlubber: I can just hear Aranza singing that damn song too &lt;br /&gt;andre_n_clemente: "you've got the touch...youve got the power"&lt;br /&gt;andre_n_clemente: hahaha&lt;br /&gt;Dirty_Landlubber: Ahahahaha&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My mother gets back in 7 hours.  Woohoo. Pasalubong time. She got me the new Coheed album as well as 2 Mest ones and the Rufio CDs.  Ayus.  As well as my beloved Boondock Saints deeveedee. And something else too:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;andre_n_clemente: what else you got coming?&lt;br /&gt;Dirty_Landlubber: CDs&lt;br /&gt;Dirty_Landlubber: shirts&lt;br /&gt;Dirty_Landlubber: a 14" dildo&lt;br /&gt;Dirty_Landlubber: hopefully she got me a blue on like i asked&lt;br /&gt;andre_n_clemente: are you fuckin serious? hahaha&lt;br /&gt;andre_n_clemente: can i see it?&lt;br /&gt;Dirty_Landlubber: yea dude, im gonna use it to beat people to death&lt;br /&gt;Dirty_Landlubber: like in lock stock&lt;br /&gt;andre_n_clemente: hahaha&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/I&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am a sicksicksick man.  And crude too.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In other news, I replaced the Zonk-Board with Tag-Board seeing as the former went all capatlist moneygrubber on me and demanded I pay them.

Now, it's one thing to sell vices to a minor.  Sometimes they just look older or sometimes they just don't care and figure they're old enough anyway or whatnot.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But to send an 11 year old kid with a thousand bucks to go buy cigarettes from Fuma?  Not only that, but the sold it to him too.  Dude, that's just fucking wrong.  It appears to me people in this country just care about the money and not the people.  Want more proof?

Seriously.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For example, lets take up the case of Friendster (yes, I'm a trendwhore).  &lt;br /&gt;This post was discovered on the bulletin board today by me:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;Message: Friendster is sorry to inform you, but within the months of October and November, we will be shutting down Friendster for a 4 month period. For the purpose of this shut down, we ask you to save all of your important documents in .pdf format, so when Friendster is restarted, you can upload the files on our database. We are sorry for this inconvenience.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;PLEASE COPY AND PASTE INTO YOUR BULLETIN.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now, this is the fun part.  Picking it apart.  &lt;br /&gt;Ok, first of all, define important documents on Friendster.  Seriously.  What the hell are you supposed to save?  Other than your goddamn internet time if this thing really is shuttiung down. &lt;br /&gt;Secondly, who in their right fucking minds saves documents as an ADOBE FUCKING ACROBAT FILE? Geez.  The only times I've ever used those things were for college apps and video game readmes.  Good god.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hay buhay, the shit people believe in.  Reminds me of those chain emails that go &lt;br /&gt;&lt;I&gt;"DO NOT BREAK THE CHAIN!  This letter has been around since 1243 AD&lt;/i&gt; &lt;b&gt;(yea, sure, the Pope sent out a mass email (pun intended) calling for the Crusades)&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Or the ones that go:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;I&gt;If you don't send this the oogy boogy man will come to you in the middle of the night and rape you with a pickle!  Twice! In the ass!&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Please people.  Get a grip.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;small&gt;knowing me I will be proven wrong in a day&lt;/small&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Moving on:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There is a Porno stuck in the VHS.  I don't know how it got there *glares at brother* and I would like to get it out so I can happily watch my OTHER porn.  Plus I think its a little incriminating to have a Porno stuck in the tape player.  Only problem is, the VHS won't turn on.  As in, it be dead.

At least that explains when I got the cuts on my knees and how Ryans number ended up on my phone.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In other news, after jamming today my hands hurt.

God I hate it when that happens.  Looks like I'll be borrowing out of the MMA office all term.  Bah.  I love my Pop's camera.  Its an old Nikkon and he's got the most incredible lenses to go with it, including a wondrous fisheye that I could toy around with. And his telescopic lens is out of this world.  *swoons*  I only hope that they'll work with the schools lenses.   &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Went over to Rockwell for lunch and dropped by the bookstore there.  I love that place.  If it wasn't for the fact we can't browse the graphic novels or the magazines, I'd practically live there.  Picked up &lt;b&gt;Death: At Death's Door&lt;/b&gt; which I have been searching for for the longest time.  Yes, I know it's not by Gaiman, but who can resist Jill Thompson drawing/writing about Death and Delirium in manga style illustrating?  I really need to head over to a comic store sometime and pick up Endless Nights and 1602 by Gaiman.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After stuffing my face at Kaya *bragbragbrag* I went and picked up the Icewind Dale Collectors Set, thus completing my set of R.A Salvatores Forgotten Realms books... Well at least till next month when his new Drizzt book comes out.  *sigh*&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I swear, the moment my mom left for vacation the house began to fall apart.  Lights don't work, water pressure dies, doors get stuck, and the kitchen is EMPTY *sob, no munchies*  At least now we get to eat out more often, plus me and my sister know how to get our way when it comes to dear old Pop. He can't cook anyway so we pretty much HAVE to eat out unless we want to be living off scrambled eggs and corn beef for the next three weeks.  &lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5761847-106416343391635644?l=solitaryecho.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5761847/posts/default/106416343391635644'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5761847/posts/default/106416343391635644'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://solitaryecho.blogspot.com/2003_09_01_archive.html#106416343391635644' title=''/><author><name>Carlo</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10293993641219063640</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5761847.post-106404492472631348</id><published>2003-09-20T16:02:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2003-09-20T18:19:09.650+08:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>The SpongeCola EP launch was incredible.

It wasn't even anything fantastic... except for the fact that I was &lt;I&gt;aware&lt;/I&gt; I was dreaming.  Lucid dreaming has always facinated me.  Moreso after I watched &lt;b&gt;Waking Life&lt;/b&gt; (truly brilliant and if you haven't seen it you're missing out.)  The ability to control ones dreams, to be able to do or become anything within the reaches of your imagination all while being aware of it is amazing.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I wasn't completely dreaming lucidly.  I didn't have as much control over all of it.  And what I did have control over seemed to move in slow motion.  Something that I find is recurring in most of my dreams (freud says what?).  &lt;i&gt;It always seems that when I remeber dreaming about movement I always find myself frustrated that I'm moving so slow...&lt;/i&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyway, I passed out on my bed as I got home and I felt I woke up all of a sudden to the sound of my mom stormign into my room yelling at me or some such thing.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;Her: *screamyellblahblahcriticizeblahexplode*&lt;br /&gt;Me: What the hell?  I thought you were in Vancouver?&lt;br /&gt;Her: *blinks* Ya nga no?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;*poof, she dissapears*&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It was then I knew I was dreaming.  I lay on my bed with my head hanging upside down off the edge, and this mirror/doorway appeared in my line of sight.  There was a figure standing in that doorway, and he looked somewhat like me, yet he reminded me of Death.  Yes, death.  Not in that evil malicious &lt;i&gt;broodangstemo&lt;/i&gt; way, but in that calm, well presented Meet Joe Black kinda way.  He ducked out of sight a moment after I saw him. &lt;i&gt; Almost as a reminder that I'm only mortal and he comes for everyone at one point.&lt;/i&gt;  I tried to follow.  I raised my body above my head  and floated upsidedown (in frustratingly slo-mo).  Righting myself, I glided over to the mirror (for it was a mirror, only strange and almost alive) and tried to push through to the other side, conciously aware it was dangerous, I melted half into the mirror and saw darkness, then a dstorted, blurred image of my face (think the Ring pictures) and I could go no further.  I turned around to find not my room, but a long cavern with two figures staggering in the dark.  Not completely human nor male or female, they morphed and shifted with each movement, as I realized I could shape them.   It was crazy.  I could feel the texture of the walls on my hands, the smell of the cavern, the sights, the sounds, &lt;i&gt;everything&lt;/i&gt;.  It was as if I had awoken in the dreaming itself.  Hell, I half expected Daniel/Dream to pop out and shoo me on my way.  And some thing did just that.  I don't remember what it was but I awoke to the sight of &lt;a href="http://delusionalbitch.blogspot.com"&gt;Ryx&lt;/a&gt;, my arms around her and her grinning like a hyena.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;Ryx: What are you doing? &lt;br /&gt;Me: Sorry, fell asleep.  You just get here?&lt;br /&gt;Ryx: You dork!  You were &lt;b&gt;sleepwalking!&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Me: That explains why it all felt so real... wait.  Why didn't you let me know you were on your way here?&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;*poof*&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Then I really woke up.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;------------------------------------&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In other news, school has begun anew.  With a craptacular schedule to boot.  What the hell am I going to do during a 5 hour break on Wednesdays?  FIVE FUCKING HOURS!  Roar indeed.  On the good side, I know at least one person in each of my classes so far so I don't feel so isolated from everyone.  Plus my teachers are all rather interesting, with them either being young (IE. Only a few years older than me), or young at heart (EG: My photo prof. has a &lt;i&gt;Mullet&lt;/i&gt; Asteeeeeg), with the only flaw being my Math prof, who just has this incredibly annoying habit of overextending the pronounciation of his "S's" at the end of words (&lt;I&gt;Studenttsssssssssssssssssssssss&lt;/i&gt;.... Argh. Annoying.)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;------------------------------------&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My Santa wishlist for my mother-on-vacation:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;CD's by:&lt;br /&gt;----------&lt;br /&gt;Coheed &amp; Cambria&lt;br /&gt;Rufio&lt;br /&gt;Face to Face&lt;br /&gt;Poison The Well&lt;br /&gt;From Autumn To Ashes&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Shirts of:&lt;br /&gt;-----------&lt;br /&gt;NOFX&lt;br /&gt;AFI&lt;br /&gt;Taking Back SUnday&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And lastly (and most importantly) my cheapshit blue hairdye + bleach that I used to use to dye my hair.  Who else misses Mr. Skittles?  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;----------------------------&lt;br /&gt;Jacked from &lt;a href="http://delusionalbitch.blogspot.com"&gt;Ryx&lt;/a&gt; because it's too damn amusing.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;HER DIARY&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Saturday night I thought he was acting weird. We had made plans to meet at a bar to have a drink. I was shopping with my friends all day long, so I thought he was upset at the fact that I was a bit late, but he made no comment.  Conversation wasn't flowing so I suggested that we go somewhere quiet so we could talk. He agreed but he kept quiet and absent. I asked him what was wrong he said nothing. I asked him if it was my fault that he was upset. He said it had nothing to do with me and not to worry. On the way home I told him that I loved him, he simply smiled and kept driving. I can't explain his behavior; I don't know why he didn't say I love you, too. When we got home I felt as if I had lost him, as if he wanted nothing to do with me anymore. He just sat there and watched T.V. He seemed distant and absent. Finally I decided to go to bed. About 10 minutes later he came to bed and to my surprise he responded to my caress and we made love, but I still felt that he was distracted and his thoughts were somewhere else. I decided that I could not take it anymore and to confront him with the situation, but he had fallen asleep. I started crying and cried until I too fell asleep. I don't know what to do. I'm almost sure that his thoughts are with someone else. My life is a disaster.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;HIS DIARY&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Today the Lakers lost. At least I got laid.&lt;br /&gt;-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In closing:&lt;br /&gt;Everyone must watch Identity.  It is brilliant.  It is amazing.  It's like Usual Suspects meets Psycho meets The Cell (sorta).  John Cusack is truly one of the most underated actors in showbiz.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5761847-106373660400426501?l=solitaryecho.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5761847/posts/default/106373660400426501'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5761847/posts/default/106373660400426501'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://solitaryecho.blogspot.com/2003_09_01_archive.html#106373660400426501' title=''/><author><name>Carlo</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10293993641219063640</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5761847.post-106356230194308909</id><published>2003-09-15T01:58:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2003-09-15T02:01:00.730+08:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http:///www.friendster.com"&gt;Friendster&lt;/a&gt; is &lt;b&gt;CRAP.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I mean, how the fuck do you use this thing?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;ROAR&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is what I get for being a slave to the trends and succumbing to everyone and their mothers telling me to sign up.  &lt;br /&gt;I think I'll stick to blogging, thank you very much.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Bah. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;crapbitchfuckballscockassfuckcuntshitcrapfuckbitchassfuckcockassbitchfuckballs&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5761847-106356230194308909?l=solitaryecho.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5761847/posts/default/106356230194308909'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5761847/posts/default/106356230194308909'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://solitaryecho.blogspot.com/2003_09_01_archive.html#106356230194308909' title=''/><author><name>Carlo</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10293993641219063640</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5761847.post-106353337837133038</id><published>2003-09-14T17:56:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2003-09-14T17:59:57.883+08:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>I was in powerbooks today banging my head constantly against the wall.

Yea, you guessed it.  Stupid piece of plastic was trapped under my car.  FUCK.  It took me a good period of time to get it out, with the help of a security guard and the ticket dude in the parking lot because the fucking thing was lodged in some crack on the bottom of my car.
