I actually have to do a blogpost FOR my school, not just about it haha.

Yes, believe it or not, one of my assignments is to review a school resource on a blog or on the class bulletin board. Well, i figured, i had two blogs, one to show off school assignments, and one personal, so i'll post this on both.

I am reviewing Perdue university's O.W.L. guide on writing numbers. Honestly, i hate to admit this, I was not familiar with the fact that there were Rules for writing numbers! Makes me wonder about the quality of our highschool education haha.

The Guide does a decent job of explaning the rules of writing numbers for those of us who were "sick the day they taught it." :P The Guide gives a very clear description of how to avoid mixing up your numbers, and examples of the proper, and improper way, of writing those numbers, whether they be in numeral or text. I learned that in mixing up both written numbers and numerals.... that I had been breaking a grammatical rule. I will be avoiding that in the future. :P

Nirvana With the Lights out

del.icio.us Tags: Music

 

Nirvana was easily one of the Greatest Rock bands to ever exist. Yes, I admit they were not virtuosos. But that is not what they were known for. That is not what they gave to music. That is not what they are remembered for.

They are remembered for the passion and brutal honesty they brought forward in their lyrics, and the intensity that was present in their music. Irony was the driving force of their hit "Smells Like Teen Spirit", Injustice was the Muse of the oft misunderstood "Rape Me", Pain was all too obvious in the late Released "You Know You're Right", which I consider a more obvious Suicide note than the one he scrawled before he died.

I just received the Box set from my brother for my Birthday. The Cuts are Raw, and the Songs are unfinished, which would drag down our image of any other band. Nirvana Fans revel in the imperfect yet powerful musical works of art.

The Box set pulls back the very thin layer of production and lets us see even more clearly what Nirvana was about. Intensity and Honesty.

I admit many will not like the rough cuts.... But I can only describe this set with one word.

Brilliant.

Tired

But that's nothing new. I didn't sleep as much as I should have last night. Stayed up to late on the computer doing my nerdy music/surfing thing.

I need a life lol.

 I have taken to watching adult swim lately. I love Futurama, Family guy and Robot Chicken. Nerd heaven.

Interesting Link of the day.

Believe it or not....

A windows clone!!!

Durr, maybe we should touch the electricity George.

Frivolous Lawsuits can be hilarious. I hope the kid is okay, but man.....

http://michellemalkin.com/2007/07/18/stupid-lawsuit-of-the-day/

I've been tired a lot recently. I thought before that I maybe wasn't getting enough sleep, but thinking about it, I get around 6-7 hours a night. That's not the recommended 8 but its in the ballpark. My friends get less and they seem okay. I dunno.

It looks like I'm taking another three months off school. There was a financial aid screw up, and I have to bust butt to get it fixed in time for fall.

But I won't be going to Columbus State. I am going to transfer to Ohio Dominican University, which involves taking my ACT. So I will be studying this summer, but not earning credits lol.

Been playing a lot of NCAA 07.....

Another Travesty at an abortion clinic.

I got some new cds the other day. I'm a music addict as some of you may already know, so it was like Christmas day when the shipment arrived in the brown Cardboard box that BMG ships in. Seriously, i like music lol. If any of you ever want to get me a gift, music will always be appreciated.

In that nifty little box, I got:

Nirvana-In Utero

Nirvana-From the Muddy Banks of the Wishkah

The Benjamin Gate- Contact

The O.C. Supertones- Hi Fi Revival

Emery- The Weak's End

Led Zeppelin- How the West was Won.

Relient K- Five Score and 7 Years ago


Nirvana's In Utero is one of those albums you have to listen to a few times before you can get into it. The first couple times through it comes off as abrasive, but as you delve deeper you will find it to be a gem.

Nirvana's Wishkah Album is a collection of live cuts. Some quality, others weak (notably the album's version of Breed).

I've not listened much to the Benjamin Gate album, though I loved their first one. (Too bad they are defunct)

The O.C. Supertones' Album is pretty much the same stuff as others, but still awesome.

Too tired to finish post, more later.

My little brother has a job at the movie theater.

Which means I get free movies. Awesomeness. I thought I'd write down what I thought about each of the movies I have seen, while taking advantage of his benefits.

No spoilers except for Mr. Brooks.

Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End

Totally freaking awesome! First of all the Action is great as always. There is the subtle and not so subtle humor that is found throughout the series. It does tie up the first two movies in a satisfactory way, while leaving room for a sequel, in a way that allows them to drop the series or make a sequel depending on what they want to do. It does not demand a sequel, but it allows for one.

Also the plot twists are unexpected and satisfying. For those who have not seen the movie, I'll just say this, if you thought you knew who these characters were, you are sorely mistaken.

The only downsides for me is that while the action is intense, it does tend to go on. The main battle of the movie feels like half the film. And while funny, Jack isn't as "Jacky".

Mr. Brooks-MINOR SPOILERS READ AT OWN RISK!!!!

Some disturbing stuff. A great serial killer movie, but VERY VERY DISTURBING. Kids should not see this movie. What I found facinating is that the main character is indeed addicted to killing, but hates it about himself. He is not the average off the wall killer you see in so many movies. He hates what he does and Tries desparately to stop. A very tragic story.

SPOILERS OVER CONTINUE READING SAFELY

Spider Man 3

Just plain cool. It does a great job of finishing the Peter/Harry storyline. Black spiderman is a facinating character, and Venom is just plain wicked.

Only downside is if you are not fond of complex storylines, this one has one. I thought it was great though.

MORE MOVIES LATER

I'm going to Heaven

You know, alot of Christians, as they grow in their faith and walk with Christ, tend to forget or push aside heaven. As if it were, childish to think about heaven.

Of course they believe in it. Its not that, it has more to do with how we are percieved when we speak about it. As if we are zealots, or simple. "I love Jesus, and I'm gonna go to heaven where everything is nice etc." It sounds like insane escapism. We are sophisticated, Lets work on theology for a while, and become educated. Lets discuss the sacraments or the Trinity, something lofty and beyond a simpleton's understanding.

But I really I find it sad. I know I am sometimes embarrassed when the topic of heaven comes up, I'm not innocent. However, I think this needs to change. Yes, Heaven is but a part of the Rich Tapestry God has woven for us, but it is a very very important part.

Think about it, when we came to Christ, what was foremost in our minds? The Love of a God that would Give Himself so that we can escape a dying and dark world, for a perfect and bright place. Before we could discuss intricate doctrine, and play with the big boys, we loved the sound of heaven. I did, I know that.

I think its time we felt some "Childish Enthusiasm" about heaven. I think we ought to begin making fools of ourselves. God Came not to give us a happy life on earth, but a Perfect Life in Heaven. Bask in it brothers and sisters. Look to the skies. We have hope for tomorrow.

There's no tears in my eyes today

I've only got good things to say

The Son chased away the clouds of grey

I'm going to Heaven and I'm going to stay

All smiles there, no trials there

No fears there, no years there

I'm going to Heaven

We're going to Heaven

Our tickets are all paid to heaven that God made

So goodbye blue Monday, no pain on Sunday

I don't need no women or wine

When I got Heaven on my mind

Be so far above cloud nine

You and me and God until the end of time!

All smiles there, no trials there

No fears there, no years there

-The O.C. Supertones

Heaven

I might just get a picture of myself here soon.

Tired.

Life, Love and Why.

Life's looking a bit brighter I think. I mean of course a lot of the same problems persist, but I am feeling a bit less overwhelmed by them. I dunno.

I'm sitting out on my porch keeping a watchful eye on my little brother Skateboarding, and listening to some good music. Its a bit cold but not freezing. Better weather than we have had lately.

I'm sitting here playing with the kickstand on Chris's Bike, with my foot, listening to the Khreeh kreeh of his skateboard scraping on the ground as he practices his various tricks and maneuvers in the pursuit of the elusive yet glorious goal of most kids his age, pro skating. Well, maybe those aren't his goals, but who cares, it sounds good.

I've been listeing/reading more and more political stuff. Maybe its a spring/summer thing, as I did so last year around the same time as well.

Prayers for all in Need.
