Fuck this shit.

I've so bloody had it with my family.
Isn't the family supposed to be there to support you?
I love my best friends, and all the help that they've given me in the past months,
But fuckin hell.
Family is supposed to be the BASIS of all your support.
I say, fuck not drinking spirits atm, cos I'm bloody tilting back a bottle.

Fucking hell.
*sobs*
I've had enough of all the arguements I've had with my parents.
I want to just get enough money, and MOVE OUT
and my bloody brother hates me.
Why does he hate me?
Probably because I did some one-time jerk thing a few years back,
Because I have fucking TRIED MY HEART OUT to show him how much he means to me
His autism DOES NOT help the cause.
Goodness sakes, it'll probably be in about 14 years, before he ever forgives whatever I did to him.
*sighs*
That's all the bitching I'm going to do for now.
Thank goodness nobody ever reads this blog anymore.
I think i'm going to regret drinking this much wine later
seeyou kids later,

bah stupid boring hot weather

You Are The Hanging Man

You represent the seeking of enlightenment and spiritual clarity. You tend to confuse others, but your oddities seem deeply satisfying. Self sacrifice is easy for you, especially if it makes you a better person in the end. You are the type of person who is very in touch with your soul and inner spirit. Your fortune: Right now is a good time for reflection and meditation. You should stop resisting the problems in your life, and let yourself be vulnerable to them. You may need to sacrifice something important to you to move ahead in your life. Accept your destiny with courage, and learn to let go of what you think you need.

What Tarot Card Are You?

Your Taste in Music:

90's Alternative: Highest Influence 80's Alternative: High Influence Classic Rock: High Influence Hair Bands: High Influence Heavy Metal: High Influence

How's Your Taste in Music?

Slow and Steady

Your friends see you as painstaking and fussy. They see you as very cautious, extremely careful, a slow and steady plodder. It'd really surprise them if you ever did something impulsively or on the spur of the moment. They expect you to examine everything carefully from every angle and then usually decide against it.

How Do People See You?

Harvest - Opeth

Stay with me a while,
Rise above the vile.
Name my final rest,
Poured into my chest.

Into the orchard i walk peering way past the gate.
Wilted scenes for us who couldn't wait.
Drained by the coldest caress, stalking shadows ahead.
Halo of death, all i see is departure.
Mourner's lament but it's me who's the martyr.

Pledge yourself to me ,
Never leave me be,
Sweat breaks on my brow,
Given time ends now.

Into the orchard i walk peering way past the gate.
Wilted scenes for us who couldn't wait.
Drained by the coldest caress, stalking shadows ahead.
Halo of death, all i see is departure.
Mourner's lament but it's me who's the martyr.

Spirit painted sin,
Embers neath my skin,
Veiled in pale embrace,
Reached and touched my face.

Into the orchard i walk peering way past the gate.
Wilted scenes for us who couldn't wait.
Drained by the coldest caress, stalking shadows ahead.
Halo of death, all i see is departure.
Mourner's lament but it's me who's the martyr.

- - - - Humanity || Religion - - - -

Personally
I don't really believe in religion.
However I do promote the morals and ethics of good people, that can (sometimes. sometimes not) light a candle of hope and happiness in the darkest pits of some minds.
So do I believe in religion then? I hope I only believe in people.
I say that I'm agnostic when it comes to religion- ie, I don't believe in things can cannot be proven to me, though I would believe anything that could be proven.
For example:
I don't think I will ever believe that a "God" created the universe and all that mystical jazz
But that's because nobody would be able to prove it to me.
On the other hand, I admit that there is a great possibility that a person (who may have, and may not have gone under the name of 'Jesus') did exist, and was one of the swellest guys you could ever meet.
lol however being being bitter in some ways, I will not ever be able to believe that people ever have the "power" to heal those in pain in suffering without any form of medical help.
*shrugs*
It's a ever-raging debate within my world.
Sometimes, I wish to just say I'm an aethist and be done with it.
However, that is taking the easy way out (and the often used way out, so I ain't goin' where the crowd is) and I'd like to be able to believe in something such as a "God" one day. Perhaps. We'll see.
After all, any person who believes in a singular "God" chooses to refuse the possible existence of other deities, and so isn't that being an aethist who believes in one more than any other?
lol
pwned.
But I find aethism an extremely stupid point of view.
By stubbornly persistant in blatent ignorance of any evidence that might suggest the exist of "God" etc, they defy one of the basic laws that humanity had to follow in order to survive.
Change. Adapt. Or die.
If one doesn't allow the possiblity of change, of adapting, than they row a boat to their own doom.
By experimenting and by investigating all possibilitys of divine existance before throwing it all and becoming stagant in their beliefs, one can perhaps choose a wiser path in the long run.

But for now,
I choose to remain ambiguous.
I am a baptised Christian.
That does not mean I follow their beliefs.
I think that in the end I will become a more aethist- for I have seen too many good people suffer in front of my eyes- too many pure souls with love for everything in the world- to die in agony.
My grandmother didn't deserve that fate.
And another argument I throw to the winds before going to listen/play music,
If such a God exists in Christian culture, who preaches forgiveness
why are we still banished from 'Paradise' ? A few thousand years should be ample time to ignore the acts of only two individuals. Not forgiving potentially millions of innocent people who bear almost no heritage to their 'Forefather/mother' is against the teachings of "God"
And thus by his own arguments (in this aspect) terminates the possibility of his existance.
I'd like it if you could comment your own beliefs,
But you're all a bunch of jerks for never commenting :P lol jk

Anyway,
That's me in religious debate mode,
Talk to me if you want more (though catch me after caffeine heh)

Bisou,

lol I have too much of a headache to write a deep one for at least a few hours sooo....

Don't Cry- Guns n Roses

Talk to me softly
There is something in your eyes
Don't hang your head in sorrow
And please don't cry

I know how you feel inside I've
I've been there before
Somethin is changin' inside you
And don't you know

Don't you cry tonight
I still love you baby
Don't you cry tonight
Don't you cry tonight
There's a heaven above you baby
And don't you cry tonight

Give me a whisper
And give me a sign
Give me a kiss before you
tell me goodbye

Don't you take it so hard now
And please don't take it so bad
I'll still be thinkin' of you
And the times we had...baby

And don't you cry tonight
Don't you cry tonight
Don't you cry tonight
There's a heaven above you baby
And don't you cry tonight

And please remember that I never lied
And please remember
how I felt inside now honey
You gotta make it your own way
But you'll be alright now sugar
You'll feel better tomorrow
Come the morning light now baby
And don't you cry tonight
And don't you cry tonight
And don't you cry tonight
There's a heaven above you baby
And don't you cry
Don't you ever cry-y-y-yyy
Don't you cry tonight
Baby maybe someday
Don't you cry
Don't you ever cry
Don't you cry
Tonight......


*note: sad as hell song, and if you're in no good mood, the solo/final chorus WILL make you cry. heh, at least it sorta did for me, so that's sayin' something kiddos*

Seeya'all around,
*for a friend going through some tough times*

Hey

What's up guys.
Well.
The year's drawing to the close, and it's 1:50 in the morning, and I'm *incredibly* bored, so I think I'll do a recap on the entire year and on how I've changed.
Where do I start?
First of all,
Music is fucking awesome. It deserves the language, because it's so cool.
lol
:P
Anyway,
I got a job this year
Which has taught me to never get involved involved in a supermarket job EVER again lololololol
Damn those exploiting bastards lol
I've gained friends, or increased relationships.
I'd like to make a special thanks here to dear ol' Emma (Wansborough) and Leece, for helping me make it through the past few months. If it wasn't for them, I don't know what I'd of done during my baad periods.
However, I've also lost complete trust in a couple of what I thought were close friends. Which helped send me into a pretty deep depression somewhere during the middle of the year. So it's made me be even more careful about who I put my trust in. Trust too much kids, and you're gonna get scarred :P Trust me lololol!
I've met a couple of new groups of people. The girl group, which I was the pimping guy within ^^

And of course, the awesome awesomeness of Shelly's/Leece's/Kayti's group. With all of their Ben-ness/Tom-ness/Lucas-ness/Brett-ness (which are the guys I've met so-far, undoubtably their all just as cool lol). Lol Hail to the quote "Press Alt+F4. It would rule my balls if you did" lol. I don't think I'll get that particular comment out of my head for a while.
Yes, those metalheads are awesome.
Bought my electric guitar, and gained a hell of a lot of skill with it. Of course there were a couple of embarrassing occassions where some other people wanted me to play guitar for them, so of course I noticed how bad I was compared to the other brilliant guitarists around me. hehe. I've gotten better since then. Got a few songs down-pat, and this awesome teacher dude "Pete" (who is an unknown god among men, music-wise) has been teachin' me for about a month and a half now.
lol, of course it could be the ego, hidden from my own view telling me this!! Hahaha :P I'll have no idea, till the next time somebody asks me to play guitar for them.
My family sucks f-ing balls. They were another reason for my depressed-ness. Damnit. I got thrown out of the house a couple of times. Stayed at another dude's house/my grandmother's/random jam in Yanchep on seperate occasions. Fights with parents/brother are muchly common noise around this neighborhood, though thankfully (for my sake) this French person staying with us has lessened that a little.
Can't wait to move out.
Looking for people to share a small apartment/flat with, doesn't matter about gender. Just as long as I can cope being with you for more than a few hours each day!!!! lololol
Haha, love life? I got over *another* lost cause. :P I am the reason "hopeless romantic exists in this world, though for different reasons as to it's definition! lol.
I'm not really that sussed any more.
Have I found someone else that's captured my heart? Well, I thought I did earlier in the year, but it was just to be friends in the end. Probably a good thing! Or so I thought....*sighs* another story Mr/Ms Nosey. Not for you.
As I said before. Has someone else entrapped my mind? Mebbe. You could always guess/be cool and already know, but I doubt it. Cos most of you randoms out there arent' that cool. At least compared to me. But that's a bit unfair, cos nobody's that cool compared to me.....
...
Shutup :P
But that ain't yer buisiness sticky-beak. haha
Ooh, 2:09 now. I'm not even tired.
How gay :P
*uber physics/Tom+Leece -groan*
lol
Well there's not that much to say. The end of school wasn't that exciting (as I doubted it would be), and the past few weeks have been guitaring (which is good) working (which is not good) and a couple of instances where I actually got to socialise lol.
Hopefully with my uber organising skills *insert laughing here for 10 minutes* ok. Maybe I can organise some stuff to happen. Can't wait to see the whole metalhead gang again. Gay blogger.com, with it's gay photo uploadingness. In fact I hate dialup.
Gr.
Well
I've changed as a person, I'd say.
Hopefully, I'm a lot more easy-going, and easier to get to know as I once used to not be- but I certainly have caught a very bad grudge. lol, don't lie about serious things to me/hurt friends that trust you, that's all I'm gonna say :P lololol
Anyways, I think I'll go and play some mindless internet games to keep me entertained until 5:00, then I'll catch some shuteye. Mebbe. I could always find some coffee. yeah, that sounds more inviting.
I shall leave you with some random photo that some hobo took of me (it may have been Josh/one of my other guy friends, cos I don't look ridiculously happy and I'm holding my guitar. lol.
Anyways,
I'll see you lot around,
Oh and btw, I'm ashamed to admit I've been spending time on MySpace. Yes. Shoot me now. DO YOU SEE THE EXTENT, TO WHICH I'M SO F-ING BORED?!?!?!?!?!?!?!.....
.....
.....
ARRRRGGGGHHHHHHHH
*sighs*

lolol, if you're in the least bit interested (which frankly I don't give a damn whether you are or not) you can. Ooh. Yeah, it's www.myspace.com/councillorjoe but chances are, even if you do know me, I won't add you- beacuse I'm currently on a vendetta against people I don't trust intimately lol. 'Gay' you might say, but MEH. It's something to do. Especially if you're up as hardcore as me, at 2:40 in the morning.
Haha.

Byeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

What a joke

"Garlic bread??
What a joke!"
lol, good day that one.
I am bor-ed.
So I have remembered that I actually had this blog, and thus I shall write in it once more!
MUAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHA
Work was as usual today- crap
Bloody f-ing customers
don't know when to give up.
Why do they need to buy stuff from the shopping centre anyway?
Oh? To purchase foodstuffs so that they might survive in a cruel, cold and possibly harsh world?
Guess what kiddys!
I don't give a damn! Grrrr...Why can't they live on nature, trees and leaves and stuff.
I'm sure that they'd survive...for a while....in a subjective sense of speaking...compared to the lifespan of a fly...
...
I don't want your lies.
Anyways
I've continued on with the guitaring-ness, and it's progressing quite well.
lol, at least I hope so :P Not as if I have an unbiased opinion around here that can tell me lol ^^
I dunno. I need more work on alternate picking. Mine's still pretty slow, and I can't exactly burn the fretboard with my fingerworks either :P But I ain't playing Mary Had a Little Lamb (Her Fleece Was White As Snow?). More like heavy metal and/or Santana stuff. Scarborough Fair is by far my favourite practice piece so far :P gotta love it.
Aaanyway.
School's over *huzzah* but it ain't thaat exciting :P Just means more work for poor ol' Joe.
What? No. Not me. The other one.
I don't mind work. At least the getting paid part. It's all the other stuff that really irks me (like the working part of it...)
I'm thinking of changing jobs. Maybe I should change jobs with Leece, so at least we still have some way of communicating to one-another. lol
Have you ever noticed how each MSN conversation has a lifespan? It's almost plottable. There's a gradual trend in the overall conversation that dwindles to a "Sooo" and "yeah" followed by some quickly written "I've got to go" which is in fact, almost always a lie. Damn bastards. They don't HAVE to go. They go because they chose that is the time that is most uncomfortable for them.
One thing that reaally p-s me off about MSN conversation is this sort of an opening:
"How r u?"
...
o_O
omygosh
Hm
I'll continue this good start to a rant later, because I don't have to go, but other things are calling
Next time, kiddos,

Heeeeyoo, listen what I got to saaayoooo-oooo...lol

How are you? Really!? You are?!?!?! That's amazing!
..
...
....
lol
:P, I'm very tired, hence my lack of sanity at the moment.
Work was crap. As usual.
God-damned Italians. Why can't they keep their old people locked-up in mental institutions WHERE THEY BELONG *pants a bit*
..
Pardon me.
Anyway, forgotten what I was going to talk about + am busy
Seeya later!!!!!!!!!!!

RANDOMNESS!!! RAAAWWWRRR!

BlehblehblehblehblehblehBLEH!
How are you guys. Long time no blog.
Eh. Don't particularly care. I need to learn how to spell >.<>quite awful. But meh again.
Here is a "Highway of My Life" thing, that is actually scarily accurate o_O
And two random quotes from the bizzilion million gazillion things that I think about almost every second, and from that particular second.
aaanyway

Joe Highway

Fame City - 5 miles

Contentment Meadows- 16 miles

Loony-Bin Lane- 51 miles

Tower of Commitment- 142 miles

Study Hall- 519 miles (<- I feel that this is particularly accurate, even though my TEE exams start week after next *lolololol*)

And a) She's preeetty cute.
b) I hate stupid security systems

Hope you hate Yr 12 TEE exams as much as I do!

Nextime kiddo's!

Signing off,

Hahahahahaha

SUBJECT UPDATE!!
dadahadhad- daDAHDAHDAH!! *some unidentifiable genre of music- we shall call it 'Joe music' for now*
Physics- DAMN THAT STUPID F-ING EXAM!! HOW DARE IT CLING TO MY METAPHORICAL LEGS AND DRAG ME DOWN INTO THE DIRTY MIRE!!.....
Ahem. What I'm trying to say is that (all because of the damned exam) I'm now only sitting on an f-ing 78%. Grr. Stupid people beating me...WE'LL SHOW THEM! Right after I help Leece bring her mark up to a 65%. That's going to take until at the very least the end of mocks/the TEE, but it'll be worth it methinks. And it's quite possible.

Chemistry- Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr...I hate sitting next to god-damned smart people. In fact, I hate sitting next to Adam and Anthony. Mainly Adam. Well, a good portion of Anthony as well. And in fact the whole class generally pisses me off (except for like two or three of the girls, who have the decency to be sympathetic with my 'bad' marks).
In fact, I'm not actually failing, just getting an average 63%. Which is ok, seeing as I was aiming for a 65%. BUT EVERYONE ELSE IN MY CLASS ARE NERDS and are getting 80s as their 'awfully horrible marks'. *grumbles* And Mr Mitten pisses me off as well, because he praises these people and sorta laughes at the people getting 60s (ie, me).

Applicable Mathamatics- *sighs* Wish I could pick-up my marks in this subject as well. I'm only getting another f-ing 68-73%, which means (in our school) I'm sitting on a C. The B cutoff is an 80. A is 86. Good luck getting an A Joe!!! lolololol *cries*

French- I'd like to earn a few more percent in here. Mostly so I could beat Emma ^^ :D ;). I'm doing wellish in here, sitting on about a 68%, which would mean come the TEE I'd be getting scaled-up. ^^ Go French.

English- ......................................................................................................................................
.................................................
..................................................
..........................................
56%.........................................
......at least Alicia is helping me now. A couple of other people offered to help earlier in the year, but they never actually did anything about those offers. But that's just me being pessimistic and depressed lololol. Leece told me this awesome piece of advice on Friday, and I reckon if I used it I could possibly *possibly* bring my mark up so I have a hope of getting a scaled 50% in English.
.................
That is all I have to say about this damned subject, except "muahahahha *evilly*" at Josh, because of his teasings at me, and that Emma is Ms Andrade. We all know it. And Michael Bublé haha

Music- An 'A'. Possibly a 'B' after my last project, and even more likely a 'ND' after this new teacher comes. Can't be f-ed trying any harder, because I'd just snap and do something irrational if I did lololol very stressed :P

Aaaanways,
That's all I have to say for now
Seeya guys/gals round

Signing off,

Opeth- Also too cool for words

These guys are awesome,
although embarrassingly they do growl quite a bit throughout their repetoire, but I s'pose that one can expand.
I still f-ing hate screamoes.
But the thing that really stokes me about these guys is their light stuff.
It's soo
*sighs wistfully*
See? That's how awesome songs like 'Patterns in the Ivy' and 'Hours of Wealth' are.
Also
'Hours of Wealth' is the first song (aside from those beginner licks which everybody knows (eg: Smoke on the Water *lololololol- never play this song in a guitar shop, unless you hate your life **, Smells Like Teen Spirit etc etc)
that I've completely learned.
Now this might not seem like much of a feat,
but I've learnt the solo as well (and composed some improvisational extras).
*nods*
So that's one of the reasons I like it so much.
Here's a couple of photos to get you knowing the type of artwork they have (beautiful in it's simplicity, unlike pretty much all the other bands I know and listen to):
Seeya 'round folks!
*note: Opeth can be a bit depressing at times to listen to, but now that I have some DragonForce stuff, I think I have a perfect counter-depressant ;). We'll see how my mood improves/not over the next week or so*

F-ING HELL!!!

Jesus f-ing christ!!
No.
Jesus is too uncool to be included in this statement. Only the Jee-Man is worthy. But he is not here at the time.
Dragonforce...
omfg
I want Herman Li's babies.
First of all.
He's f-ing AMAZING on the guitar.
You'd expect that of anyone who Kirk Hammett applaudes.
Secondly
LOOK AT HIS F-ING AWESOME HAIR!
He's the MAN.
Here's a couple of his awesome photos to give you an idea of how completely and utterly cool his hair is (respect and adoration is thick in these praises of hairyness):

F-ING HELL.
Ok dudes.
For a moment I shall calm myself.
...
Through the Fire and Flames...
Over 75,000 f-ing notes, in 7:12...
o_O!!!
And it sounds f-ing beautiful.
And they sing! THEY SING!
None of this screaming or growling crap that trashes bands nowadays.
And finally ,
Last but not least,
Their 'Inhuman Rampage' album is not only crammed with awesome songs, but they're emotionally uplifting!!
Like, I felt like utter shit earlier this afternoon, and then I started listening to their songs, and I'm actually alright!
For now at least.
But nonetheless.
It's been cheering me up more than a few people have been getting me down.
Who?
Go and molest yourself, ya nosy bastard. Unless you're a woman, whereaupon unless you're Cinz, Emma W., or Leece, I don't feel like talking about it thankyou very much.
But yes.
These guys are seriously awesome. Some (although, note I say some of the best music I've heard in a while. Kirk still is too cool for most of these guys. Except for Herman Li. He probably rivals if not bests Kirk Hammett in all of his coolness. And he has longer hair. *nods*).
Anyways,
That's all I have to say to you guys until the next post, which is also about a band that I've recently started listening to and enjoying.
Seeya 'round guys/gals.

Early Life
As a child, Kirk Hammet was very unruly, and refused to listen to his parents. At the age of 9 months, he had already received several beatings, as he insisted on beating the other children over the head with his guitar. At the age of 2, he had already mastered the guitar, and moved on to drums, which he found far more difficult, as he couldn't reach the bass pedal. After several failed attempts, he decided that he'd work on the bass guitar first, which he excelled at. At the age of 5, he had grown quite a bit (he was already 4'7”), so he decided to try the drums again, and, this time, he succeeded. At the age of 10, he recorded his first solo album, in which he played all the instruments, all at the same time. It was never released in stores, however, because the producers thought it was far too badass to release to the public, and kept it for themselves.

(Uncyclopedia.com- Too true.
It also says something about Jimmy Page, which is only a tiny bit correct about his awesomeness:
Jimmy Page can play the guitar with either of his hands- while peeling an orange in his pocket
*nods*
He is the man/God.)
Anyways,
BYES BYES BYES BYES BYES BYES BYES BYES BYES BYES BYES BYES BYES BYES BYES BYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.................

Feelin' like crap

Don't care if I get in trouble for saying 'crap'.
Really in a shit mood at the moment...
They're still not talking to me, and now I'm not only getting even more depressed, but angry as well...and I feel really about that, 'cause there could a perfectly good explanation as to why she isn't talking to me or anything...
*sighs*
I also suppose that listening and learning to play 'Hours Of Wealth' by Opeth isn't exactly improving my mood haha.
For the past 4 or so weeks its been really intense....and I don't know..just feeling crapper and crapper as the weeks fly-by...
Seriously
In English today (an essay was being written), halfway through the test I just started to stare sort of blankly at the page and wonder, "What's the f-ing point to writing this? We're all going to die in the end, and what's a few extra years of luxury going to do to prevent that?"
Plus to increase the worsening mood, she came and sat RIGHT NEXT TO ME and didn't even bother trying to start a conversation....
....
Anyway,
I'm going to...I dunno..*sighs some more*..play darts? I don't feel like studying for any tests that I might be having soon..
lol, I don't even know what tests I DO have coming up lolol.
Meh.
I'll just download tabs.
'ts what I normally do when conversations sorta stutter and die on MSN lol

Master Of Puppets is evil!!

I'm attempting to perfect one of Metallica's best songs 'Master Of Puppets'
My gods
My fingers
THEY BLED THE OTHER DAY! After sliding up the fretboard on the E and B strings (well, Eb and Bb, cause they were tuned-down a step).
The only things I haven't perfected are
The interlude (learnt)
Interlude solo (learnt)
Kirk's solo (haven't even gazed upon his beautiful creation!! lol)
Oh well"studying"!!! ie, playing guitar for the next hours till I fall asleep lololol
BYES!!

Good morning!!!

Or good evening.
I thought it was morning until about 5 seconds ago, when I looked outside and saw it was getting darker
Not brighter.
Hm.
Talk about a bloody sleep-in eh? lolol,
And here's another thing to talk about! After a (very) long silence on the blog,
It's coming back to buisiness.
Admittedly, it WILL be a bit slow and chuggy, but once it gets some momentum going it should be fine.
So what's happen-ed in the last couple of months you might ask?
Well, I think you all ought to know I'm "feeling very depressed" (lol, Marvin- Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy, he's such a champ).
:P
Yeah, Sydney Tour's been and gone....
*sighs* Not as good as I hoped, for a multitude of reasons....
Well...a couple...
....ok, mainly one, but I ain't tellin' ANY of you guys who don't already know (I think that I'd better say gals, and there's only two of 'em).
Yeaaah, pretty crap I'd have to say.
But Jesus Christ Monday was an f-ing blast.
We played in the bloody Sydney Opera House!!!
!!!
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I was pretty damn stoked about it. Seriously, sitting up there on the stage, gazing out across the Concert Hall upon hundreds of empty seats
The ceiling spanning up above us with speakers covering the roof *savours memory for a moment*
Ahh, good stuff.
Then the party was awesome, with Mark, Dave, Courtney and I getting some serious head-banging done (god-damnit having long hair is so awesome). On that note, I am not EVER head-banging AGAIN.
Bloody hell, my neck felt as if someone had hit me with a plank of wood for DAYS...WEEKS!!! lololol, but that was fun, nonetheless.
And I tried (keyword tried) to chat-up a girl for a bit of fun/bet with a couple of guys that I could last a couple of minutes
*shakes head with memory*
If I remember rightly, during the, oh, 45 seconds I lasted
I believe the dude giving me the evils behind her was her boyfriend.
In hindsight, I think that I'm lucky to still be playing music lololol
:P, just goes to show how utterly awful I am at talking with women (the fascinating creatures they are *awaits lethal weapons thrown by women offended at this topic*)
lol
Oh!!!
Dudes!! Or girls!! Day after tomorrow, and I'm picking-up my bea-utiful precious little darling
GUITAR!!
Ohhh, I'm soo stoked.
It's so sleek, black and sexy.
*sighs wistfully*
And then my next target on the (very very distant) horizen is one of those flash Mega Boosie amps priced at about 4K.
:P
But yes. I haven't been able to take a picture of it yet, but I've managed to find one to show you guys what it generally looks like:
(XL Ltd f-50 Forrest Black Guitar, note: if you haven't already guessed from the guitar's name, it's actually black, but I'm sure you could use you're imagination to some extent eh?)




Aaaanyways guys,
I'm trying to avoid talking to somebody (for the moment at least),
So I'll catch y'all later!
BYES! o_O!??!!??!?!?!?

I'm reporting in....

From the heart of enemy territory my dear readers...
SCHOOL ITSELF!! *appropriate scary music insert here*
I've only just avoided capture from the evil daemon bunny rabbits*teachers*, and am now currently hiding in a ditch (ie, am writing this post halfway through class)
So what should I talk about?
Hmm...
Menopause?
Pretty sure that men don't have a menopause
Although I may have a pre-menopause, but that's just symptoms-wise...:P
omygosh Life Tech is sooooooooooooooooooooo boring!!
I'd rather be chased by a psychotically depressed robot of some sort (with spikey bits) than sit here listening to absolute merde about your "well-being" and "life balance" >.<

You guys know what really bugs me?
When people use these little abbreiviations such as "lol" and "rofl" when they don't actually laugh out-loud or roll on the floor!
It's the same as lying!
Grr.
...
Oooh pretty pictures on the opposite screen.
...
ARGH!
I must go back into hell my friends, as the bunny rabbits have spotted me and they now come hefting really threatening looking weapons (or the teacher is staring at me, wondering why my screen's different to everyone else's)
Grenade!!!
*dives out of ditch*

Signing off,

I am bor-ed!!

Huzzah!
Or not..
Anyways, yes.
Ho guys.
Long time, no post.
In fact it's also been long time, no comments as well...*mutters*
But I return, so that all you faithful readers have something to do in their spare time.
And so I have something to do, which up until this time of the day, I have not had.
But that is now over, for I am typing these words as we speak!
..
Which is admittedly obvious, but anyways.
Yes.
Lot's of stuff happening recently.
Well, not much stuff, but it's been pretty packed when stuff HAS been happening.
I'll try not to ramble any more *scolds self*
Yes. Exams have been eating-up most of my avaliable time for the past week and a bit, and they will be until tomorrow afternoon at 3:40pm, after my French exam
Which I'm going to fail
Horribly
Because I haven't done (nor will I do (nor will any of the girls do...)) any study.
And I abso-lutely SUCK at the listening comprehension.
I can sorta pick out the odd word, and then I just make up some merde based on that.
Of course,
I'm only right about 58% of the time, as my mark in that section shows!!
lolol
And today is a public holiday
Which has been spent looking at a blank wall for about half the day,
And then I've spent the past *thinks* I dunno, hour and a half sorta chattin' with a friend on MSN.
The weekend was interesting.
Had a fight with mother again *rolls eyes "Why don't they just stop??"*, so I had to get out of the house for ("What did I say?") 15 minutes I believe.
Of course,
I turned up to a party that I wasn't invited to *hmph* to spend the time that way anyway.
It didn't matter that much,
Because they were all off their faces so much to notice/remember I HADN'T been invited.
Grrr. Some of those guys are seriously pissing me off.
Perhaps the upcoming yoga classes in Life Tech will do some good for me!! lol
Actually, I'm thinking now that I have a pretty steady income that I can sign-up for a few sessions at the gym, so if a couple of you guys wanna come too then you're welcome. *shrugs*
Need to build up these muscles here *gestures at arm* You know. Umm. Well, I'm not a fuming testosterone-addicted dude, so I have an excuse for not knowing what most of the muscles are called :P
All I know is "Biceps" "abs" and "brain". And in my opinion, the brain is the most important muscle out of all of 'em, so it makes sense that I'd rather exercise that then any other muscle lolol
Anyways
So far,
My exams have gone alright. Note: that I don't include English in this statement. Take that as a given.
Except for Applic..
*shudders*
I screwed that up bad....*sighs* looks like I'll be sitting on a 72ish% mark until the TEE exams! lol
Which is pretty bad
As apparantly, according to some of the teachers that I've conversed with, Applicable maths this year (across the state) is a lot stronger than previous years.
Not just in our school.
By the school marks, my 72% is being scaled-down to a 60%! How bad is that eh?

Few things have been happening socially, so I've been left to feel sorry for myself *scolds again* and ponder over things, and basically be as bored as is humanly possible lolol
I've read two and a half books so far today alone!
:P
Anyways,
I've forgotten what I was going to talk about today,
So I'll bid y'all my farewell, and seeya later

Signing off,

In the wise words of Cathi....

"I hell machéted that exam!!"
lol, crazy girl that one....
But I don't know whether I did very well....:S
Hmm
Yes dear readers.
I am currently undergoing the most arduos experiences of torture that a Yr 12 can undergo!
The first semester exams.
I've been complaining and complaining about them, but unfortunatly, my plans did not come to fruition (ie, the exams did NOT evaporate into an insubstantial amount of gas *sighs wistfully*
Yes.
So far,
I've done three....
*groans*
God-damn English!!! Grrrr.
To tell you guys the truth, I think that I might have done quite well in the Print and Non-Print sections of the paper (although the first question in the comprehension WAS quiiiiite dodgey (Compare and contrast the ideas of justice in two passages or some merde like that))
But of course,
Having a negative outlook (so I don't get dissapointed when I realise my results)
That's what I thought in the Sem 1 exams LAST year.
And I got an average of 45% for that paper.
So yeahh....
Hmmm
>.<, not exactly the best way to stay cheerful lolol.
But then I had lunch with the french girls! lol.
And we played Hangman/woman/transvestite/thing/creature/Nobby!!! lolololol,
ahhhh
So funny.
Of course, then I actually had to sit the French Oral examination a short time afterwards....
*sighs*
I don't know about that one either.
You see, I yabbered-on about music this, and music that for a good 5 minutes
And I showed useage of the future, perfect, pluperfect, imperfect and present (of course) tenses,
And then I was asked about something that I COULD or would do, so I was able to show understanding of the conditional tense.
But then...
....
SHE BLOODY ASKED ME TO EXPLAIN THE STORYLINE BEHIND ENDER'S GAME!!!!
You can't bloody do that!! In French at least.
How the hell do you say "Command fleets of spaceships" anyway!?!??!
At that point of the examination I was spouting "Quel est le mot pour suchandsuch" every two seconds.
lol
But overall,
I think that I managed a goood....hmmmm.....65-75%? :S, Who knows?...
Pretty sure
That Laura's a verbnerd.
*nods head sagely*
Top of the class!!

And this mornin'.
Hm.
Chemistry.
It didn't start-off well, because I didn't have bloody time to wash/brush my hair (woken up at 8:00...exam commences at 8:30....run!!!)
And then as I was reading through the extended answer section of the exam,
I realised with a sinking feeling in the pit of my stomach
That I had forgotten to put the extraction of aluminium and gold into my calculator!!!
Ohmygosh.
So irritating.
But the calculations were suprisingly easy, considering the difficulty of LAST year's Sem 2 exam paper.
All of it was titrations (:P pfft), so it was just a long- but easy- process to get to the answer.
lmao, Cathi..."What's cannon?!?!!"
lololololol, poor girl.
And then I saw Emmaness and Brandoness and Kelcyness for a short period of time before I headed home...
*sighs*
Physics tomorrow afternoon....
God-damn that Chris Shams. I'll machéte him! Then he won't be able to get higher than me...
But what about the rabbits? The rabbits...they'll intervene! THEN ALL WILL BE LOST!!
LOOOSST!!
Wait. First I'd have to go down to the local bakery and get one of those scrummy caramel slices and then we'd all be
LOOOOOOSST!!!!!!
Seeya later guys! Watch out for those evil rabbits. The eyes usually give 'em away (Red...glowing...sometimes shooting laser-beams *shrugs*)
Buh-byes...

Signing off,

Some handy little french phrases...

*heavy french accent*
Aheah heugh heugh heugh.. *attempt at typing french laughter* lolol,
Yeah
Just bored/tired at the moment,
And last period today (2 and half hours of French....eugh..) was very tiring in it's length.
Mainly from the lack of oxygen getting to my brain due to intense laughter (or prevention of).
lololol- Birdman, comment fait l'amour , Donc-ey, How To Lose The Ti-pee Guy in 10 lessons, and of course- "an adventure with your crutch (/crutches rofl)) lmao
ahhhhh, those girls are good for me...^^ Cheered me right-up ^^
Hmmm....French Oral after the English exam on Monday....

...ou est ma famme? Je pense je l'ai perdu dans cette restaurant il y a deux heures...Avez-vous l'a vu?: lololololol, if you don't do french/you don't know Laura Syndenham (?), then I don't think you'd ever get this joke hehehehe

Seeya guys (perhaps I'll continue this post a-later)

Signing off,

Anyways,
I'll continue this later
Seeya guys.

Signing off,

*sigh*

Why am I sighing?
It can't be that bad...I mean, I could look at things in a positive manner...
:S, but it's too hard...at this point of my life to just shrug it off this time.
With the exams...
the upcoming Sydney tour...
....la jeune que j'aime, et elle ne me parle pas (parce que le dernière dimanche et le chose que je l'a dit :( )
And I'm just having a bit of trouble this time round...
....oh, you think that I'm just being a whingy-whiney-pants and YOU'VE got it bad?
Kid,
The contents of my mind would have a psychiatrist twisting and turning in their sleep until their deathbeds...
*sighs*
Right.
I s'pose that I can spare a few minutes of forced cheerfulness.
*steels self*
Right. HULLOS!! ^^
Eep that took a lot of effort...
Ok. Where should I start with the events of-late? Well, there's been the hectic et enfoncément (?) events of the weekend, which have carried-into this week.
There's been the evil evil evil multitude of tests that evil creatures have been torturing me and others with for the past week.
At work, I learnt of the horrors of doing stocktake in the dairy section....*shakes head*
Damnit...I should've worn bloody gloves....
And there's been the earring incident which only a couple of people have heard of.
You see,
I must've bumped against something during the hours of Sunday night/Monday morning, and then my earring pressed inwards until there was only a thin strip of skin between the spike and the holdy-bit truc. So, I had to take that out, as it was throbbing, and now I can't put it back in...o_O
Talk about a good recovery system! My mother tried after myself,
of course, that lead to blood+pain, so she decided to stop (ie, I stopped her) shortly afterwards.
And it looks as if I'm going to have to get a new piercing!
I'm thinking stainless steel/silver-plated/goldish...why? Because they're quite bland, and that's my style. I can't stand lots and lots of people looking at me :S, it seriously gives me the jitters..
The ONLY case where I can stand it, is when I'm playing music- especially in a group.
If I'm in a group of musicians, then I feel as if I'm just a cog in the machine that amuses the audience, so it's fine. On my own (>.<) I've only done three times *thinks* I think...in my life, all of which I handled quite well (especially one, in which the circumstance of my playing was quite morbid...).
Why is it that humans- such socially interactive *snorts with bitter laughter here* creatures- can find it so terrifying to do something with the eyes of hundreds, if not thousands, of people?
You'd think that they'd feel better about it. :S. Well, at least I would.
Ok.
*looks at clock*
Time's up.
Enough cheerfulness, because nobody seems to l'apprécient. I'll catch you guys later.

Signing off,

'lo guys. How's it 'hanging'?

Hope it's going OK, or 'hanging high' I think they say.....unless
of course
you're hanging from a rope on a tree....where I hope that you get cut-loose pretty soon >.<, then again. You never know. It could actually be a GOOD situation. Not just the one that suddenly springs to mind. For an example: You could be being chased by a pair of carnivorous warthogs (with or without the apples, lololol, had to be in English..), and the only way you're surviving at this moment is because of the artistic beauty of Only C.Joe's Blog and a handy rope lol.
But yes.
How am I?
Pretty- ahem- merde actually.
Why? Well, you're probably not important enough to know. Unless of course you were one of those merry men(/women...) who were present at the time of the "she's a fairy princess!" incident (hehehe) *sigh*
Yeah. If you guys know, then I'm being pretty torn-up about it....
I don't know why humans suffer such terrible angst about something that could be regarded (from a completely and utterly objective view (for example, a science nerd who's never had it lolol)) as a simple case of instinct.
But it's out in the open now. So at least that's off my chest......>.<, of course then follows the problems that have followed, which is why I'm feeling so enfoncé at the moment.
*bounces head and body down to a funky beat*
Damn, Red Hot Chili Peppers have got soul. lol, 'know it sounds really daggy/'uncool', but they've got the stuff to make you bounce along to their beautiful melodies and harmonies.
*thinks* "She's Only 18" is what I'm listening to at the moment, best part being the chorus.
*nods*
But yes.
To people concerned, please don't cut me out. I feel as if they're avoiding conversation or time with me...and I don't want to be turning into a bloody emo!! Grr. Damn pansies...could you imagine it?
Emo Joe......*rolls around on tongue* as ashamed as I am to say it,
I'm afraid it does have a certain something..
*shudders*
Best stay away from that path. :S
:(
I'm afraid that I must go now....I know it's late, but maybe a long walk will do me some good...
Help me get a few things straightened-out in my head....
:S
Bye guys...

Signing off,

Sometimes, life can be good....pretty much all the rest of the time it's just pure malicious evil >.<

I have to say that today was a good day.
Now this SHOULD be quite a pleasant thing, one may think. However,
Without the knowledge of my past, you cannot really understand how I might feel at this very moment....
Every time.....something good in my life has happened......something terrible always happens...
Last time I chose to think a day, one of the greatest days of my life- my auntie had a heart-attack and died. The time before that, my Grandmother. My old dog. My cousin ended-up in a horrible situation because of something that happened to her.
The list goes on-and-on. Never to end, and always some sort of...retribution from the heavens because I'm purely happy and content in my life.
So, that's why I'm often so bland and pessimistic, or as some have been known to call it- "mild" lol.
But yeah.
Today was preeetty fab. Started off OK, 'cause I didn't have any arguments with my family about various jobs that needed to be done. Theeennn, I must admit that the first two periods were quite good. We've almost got our music project done (^^), and Ms T's happy with us (hehehehe :P). Then the recess period was spent stressing-over the English essay that was looming over my mind omniously, for 4th period.
Then 3rd, I had a physics test...
pffft,
Breakfasts that I've been doing my best to eat lately could be regarded as bigger tests than that lololol.
Take for example that 'oh-so hard' question about the moon and the mass of the planet.
LOL
Seriously, all you had to of done was find out the velocity (from the radius given- s= (2Pr)/t- t was given as well.). And then from that, all you had to do was go (not knowing the mass of moon is irrelevant);
((mass of moon. velocity squared)/radius)= ((G.mass of moon.mass of planet)/radius squared)
Times both sides by radius, divide both by mass of moon,
The mass of moon cancels-out the moon part on the other side, so huzzah!
You can find out the mass of the planet.
lolol,
Seriously.
Physics is SUCH a joke. If you have a basic understanding of the concepts (even if it's only reaaaallly basic), then you can get AT LEAST 60-65% average.
However, the English in-class that I had next WASN'T such a breeze.....
:'(....
Even though I was temporarily euphoric over my 84% that I recieved in my previous documentary essay, it was soon dampened by my morose thoughts....
It took me 2 and-a-half weeks to write that essay....Well, 3 days to actually get-around to finishing the actual essay, but then the rest of it was editing, cutting, removing, creating new stuff etc etc.
But the fact still remains, that it took 2 and a 1/2 weeks to write it....l'ecrire je pense, en francais *shrugs*
While on the other hand, those who completed their essay ANY time sooner, still managed quite an alright mark despite the circumstances.
The most depressing of all is bloody Brick, who left HIS essay till 2 that morning, and he still managed a high 60s mark.
So WHAT I managed an 84%! 2 and a half weeks!!! For the rest of the year, in ALL the essays that count,
They're under in-class conditions. So I've got ~45 minutes-60 minutes to write a good, ~900 word essay.
Everyone else gets FIIINE marks in in-class situations.
In the last one,
I got bottom of the class. Well, except one girl, but she stopped doing TEE anyway. So yeah.
It's not exactly...
*thinks*
..confidence...building...
I don't know...it's hard to explain....
But yeah. I beat Anthony, hehehehehehe *remembers the stage where I was sorta bouncing up-and-down at this thought* Heheh, so that was (as ashamed as I am to say it) satisfying.
:P
And then I finished the day off with a hard-at-work period of Maths....
....getting pretty low in that subject as well....
The course average is like, ~74%.....I'm getting ~65%, so yeah. Sorta about 8 percent below the course-average ISN'T good....
And then I went home, preparing to go out to the movies.
When the guys come-over.
GrrrRRrrr.
Know EXACTLY what they'd say if they knew I was going with...so I tried to shake them..
BUT STILL THEY TAGGED-ALONG!
Now I don't blame them, 'cause I haven't exactly had that much time to socialise lately.
of course I had plenty of time during the end of the holidays but nooooooo, let's go get drunk every second day.....
Ahem.
So yeah. The movie, and the atmosphere, was quite good. It'd've been better if those guys weren't around, so I could've gotten something off my chest.
But yeah. They were, so turmoiltightening about my chest increases it's grip, and I'm unsure in what to do.....
*sighs*
Life is too hard. But if it wasn't, then I'd be boooorrred-stiff. Eugh. Could you imagine a day where nothing went wrong, and everything went right for just you?
It'd be good, wouldn't it?
But personally,
After about 3- *thinks and reconsiders* ok- ~40 years perhaps, years of EVERYTHING going right,
I'd be about ready to go and jump off that cliff over there.
But the problem would be,
Is that there'd be a massive bunch of pillows being moved at that time, causing you only to harmlessly bounce up-and-down until you came to a comfortable....sleepy......so-soft...stop...
Ok.
Tired now.
Can't be bothered stressing any more about that thing I quickly mentioned before.
And I'm not going to lose any sleep, at least not tonight, over it.
Mebbe all the rest of the days of the week/month/year, yeah, but not tonight.
Might as well make the most of a good day, so that I'm somewhat happy when the bad-news hits me.
I don't believe in karma,
It just happens.
Without fail.
Who knows? Mebbe this time will be the time where lots of things go right for me, and I won't stress over anybody dying/getting into trouble/etc etc and soforth.
Good thought to finish on.
Seeya guys/gals.

*"What do they say nowadays in their young-un culture?"*

I think it's....."yo"...?
Was.....up? I've always found that a very silly way of greeting somebody.
I mean, usually you use it to either
a) Ask somebody what's wrong or
b) Ask somebody, literally, what is up? Usually the sky, unless of course you're in a room...where upon the answer'd be 'the roof'.
Mm.
It's much more sensible to say, what I'm about to say.
Hello/Hi. How're ya?
See? It's not that hard you bloody, thick-skulled drug-addicts (talking to genre of population that includes Leam (or what's his nickname? "Lumpy"? Or something like that.)
lol
Sorry guys. I'll get on to the more important stuff, and stop yabbering-on so :P
Yeah. So how's it all goin'?
Seriously, I feel as if my life has been overgrown with the evil weeds of school and homework.
For example, I shall give you one aspect of my life which has been overcome, my social life...

Monday- No rest for the wicked. Gotta chuck all my books/bag/jacket etc etc into my locker (which I finally, lol, have-after over a term :P), quickly put on a white shirt over my school uniform (don't forget the deoderant! :P lol, B.O.), take the school bus to Warick, put my tie on (without a mirror! yay) and then head straight to work, arriving usually in the end at ~5 minutes before I'm due to start. Then it's to bed for....
Tuesday- Band first thing in the morning. Will be very cold, because my jacket's in the locker at this stage of the day. Mebbe I'll wear a shirt, because I don't like seeing my arms (:P, don't ask me why lol). Yeah. Hectic, busy-busy-busy, and after school I do all the study/homework that I'd otherwise have put on Monday night. Bed's very inviting at that stage :P
Wednesday- Woken-up early by an evil- but cute- girl called 'Misty' (I don't like calling cats/dogs 'it'. They're just like people, with some better qualities than the average person *nods emphatically*), and then its rush-rush-rush again through the day. I've got 1h 30mins of French after-school conversation, and then it's back home to continue on homework and study. Mostly Chemistry on a Wednesday.
Thursday- Again, up-early, and I continue with any homework that I need done for today/tomorrow. The day, once again, flashes-by in a dazzling display of equations, formulas, theory, issue-discussion, musical work, and mind-numbing mathmatics. Finally, it's Thursday, which is the only day which I can sort of relax after school. Usually, I'll go up into the city, or I'll go for a ride, or just go strolling through random streets and buy myself something to eat while I watch the traffic go-by. Yeah. I come home ~6:00 usually, and I go straight into teaching myself the chapters in Physics, because Mr Dyer isn't exactly the best of teachers and they're all so slow (lol, :P well it's true....)
Friday- Up early again for band in the morning. Usually it goes quite well, because the music isn't challenging (the most difficult piece we have at the moment is Idewylld Forest *thinks this isn't right spelling/name :P* and that's a piece of blueberry pie compared to Sheperd's Hey lol.
Saturday- I wake up early, make sure I've shaved/washed/ironed-clothes/tied-tie etc, and then I head-off to work after a bit of study+homework. Usually only a 4-hour shift, although on a few occasions I have been asked to do 6->9 hours on a Sat. I take the tie off afterwards, and head home via bus, and yeah. Get a nice good sleep-in for Sunday! yay! Unless, of course, my parents are evil, and they wake me up at 5 to go running/riding with them >.<. grrr.....hate parents....
And finally Sunday!- Which is almost all taken up with study + (at the moment) flute-practice up to the point of band which is at 3:30 now...>.<, as I said before. No rest for the wicked lol

So yeah. Packed week most of the time, and I have to do some pretty fancy manuvers to allow for anything. Although it is quite flexible.
Hrm...
English in-class essay tomorrow.....*sighs* :(, I've given up hope on that. I'll just try my best to stick to the topic of how Helen's arisal of the issues makes society a "better" place.
And then exams week-after-next!
Eugh...so much Chemistry bloody work to get through. Seriously. It MUST weigh at least a couple of kilograms. If not more.
And then I've got to prepare for the Sydney Tour that happens less than two weeks after they finish! lol, I think I've almost got Sheperd's Hey under my thumb. Getting worried about it though...
Seriously worried....
15 weeks they've had it....and although I can sympathise with the flutes, if I've almost got it, then when Ms T went through it at the speed she did, then EVERYBODY should've been doing better than what seemed to be a sight-read.
Hmm.
*shrugs*
If they want to be publically humilliated, that's their choice. I'll play to the best possible ability I can, so that I can at least please Ms T in that aspect. I want to make sure that SHE (as the conductor of us) isn't seen as the figurehead of a completely hopeless band.
But yeah.
I've got the new Red Hot Chili Peppers album "Stadium Arcadium"!!!!
omg, it's so good.
Either, I haven't been keeping in touch with the new songs of the Chili Peppers lately (which is entirely possible :P, I mean. 3 years without a new album is sorta long lol), or they've been working SO hard on this album. Because it's got 28 god-damn new songs! Awesome stuff!
Seriously
They've got serious soul. Gotta love 'em for keeping good music alive!! Them and a few other bands. But yeah. Seriously consider buying it, even if you aren't a Chili Peppers fan.
What other news is there in my life?
Hrm.
Not that much actually. I'm grasping at straws lol, but mebbe that'll change.
Who knows? Who cares?? lol, certainly not me.
Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm.........
I've just had a blaster of an idea.....
...
Yeaaahhh.....*chuckles* It'd certainly be interesting. And mebbe this blog'd be updated on a more continuous basis if I did it...
What would I have to do?
Ooooh, I think I'll keep the suspense going. I'll turn over the thought in my mind (and put it in my diary so I don't forget! lolol), and see whether it turns out to be unreactive (or produe a -ve emf....:P)
Yeah. Somethin's goin'-on at school, but you're probably not interested- but meh. Who cares anymore.
It's not as if anybody'd actually be interested. :S
Anyways, I'm feelin' a bit down at the moment, 'cause it doesn't seem as anybody seems to be talking on the young-un internet channels which is widely-known as MSN, and yeah.
Sometimes I'm just amazed by people...other times...actually, most of the time,
They act exactly as I predict. And I've got a few predictions for the near and far future.
Wise ol' Councillor Joe's just tired. Ignore him and his morose views on the immediate world, for he's just rambling-on.
Damn it all guys. Good thing I don't really believe God exists, otherwise I'd be pretty confused about my values at this point of time.
Anyway, I'll see ya later

God-damnit

Life stinks. It reaaally does.
It's going to be because of my ameteurish ability with the piccolo, that the band won't make it to the Command Performance...
Damnit. If I can't even play some bloody two bars on the piccolo, then how the hell is the band going to make it through the gruelling experience of that conductor dude!?!?
Everybody else can play their parts just fiiiine, but no. Not me. Why? Because I'm not made out to be a musician.
By the time we go to Sydney, I'll only be at the level of skill that most of the band is at now!
Eugh, it's not a good day.....
When Ms T was saying "If you're tired now, after only 1 and a half hours practice, then you obviously aren't doing enough work",
I was just ashamed. I should be better than this!!!
*sigh*
This stinks....
And now I have to listen to some b'y lecture from my parents about "Not doing this" and "not doing that" and "I told you to do this",
Even though I haven't been at home most of the day.
btw,
Happy mother's day to those concerned!! I got my Ma' a nice *thinks* 'Rhodium-plated, sterling silver' necklace, from this pearl-jeweller's shop down at Hillary's. It cost a pretty penny, but it made her happy. For the time *ie, 1-2 hours*, until she went-off at me for doing somethingorother.
I didn't get the homework I intended to get done; 2 Chem sets, including English essay preparation- study for the *thinks briefly* 4 major tests that I have this week (English-Thursday, Chemistry-Monday, Maths-Monday, Physics-Thursday, French- Friday), sorry. Make that 5.
And I feel awful, for no apparant reason. Just as if I am the worst person in the entire world....
*sighs*
It's going to be a VERY long week......
I might not be updating Only C.Joe's Blog as much as I normally do. I've really got to prepare for English.
Any lapse there, and I can say goodbye to passing highschool..
:'(
Why is it so hard!?!? For god's sake I speak the damn language! Why am I doing so badly!?!?!?!?!?!?
*take a big breathe*
But I s'pose that if my patient and emotionless self can't take the stress, then nobody can..
So, I'll "stumble through just the same". I'll pretend that it's somebody's plan to make me break and fail, so that's bound to invoke some sort of stubborness in me. *nods*
Anyways,
I'll let you guys know how that goes.
Seein'ya later,

Hero Of The Day- Metallica (Nice light song)

Mama they try and break me
The window burns to light the way back home
A light that warms no matter where they've gone
They're off to find the hero of the day
But what if they should fall by someone's wicked way

Still the window burns
Time so slowly turns
And someone there is sighing
Keepers of the flames
Do you hear your names?
Did you hear your baby's crying?
Mama they try and break me
Still they try and break me

S'cuse me while I tend to how I feel
These things return to me that still seem real
Now deservingly this easy chair
But the rocking stopped by wheels of despair

Don't want your aid
But the fist I've made
For years, can't hold or feel
No I'm not all me
So please excuse me

While I tend to how I feel
But now the dreams and waking screams
That everlast the night
So build a wall
Behind it crawl
And hide until it's light

So can you hear your baby's crying now?
Still the window burns
Time so slowly turns
And someone there is sighing
Keepers of the flames
Can't you hear your names?
Did you hear your baby's crying?
But now the dreams and waking screams
That everlast the night
So build a wall
Behind it crawl
And hide until it's light
So can't hear your baby's crying now?
Mama they try and break me...Mama they try and break me...Mama they try and break me...Mama they try...Mama they try..Mama they try and break me...Mama they try and break me....Mama they try and break me...
Mama they try
Mama they try ..

On that note.

Yes. As I mentioned briefly beforehand,
It is quite a nice night...
The moon is full, and shines bright down upon the land...
The sky is half clear, but still clouds occasionally drift across the bright moon, dampening the land in it's dark grip for a brief, terrifying moment, until relief floods back with the light...
..
LOL.
Just trying to get in a poem-writing mood. I'm starting some drafts for that (lolololol) poem competition that I 'entered' earlier this week...:P
Yeah. I was ACTUALLY being serious, even though I wasn't..if that makes any sense- which it doesn't. So ignore that.
So yeah, I went for a nice walk. And the only light guiding my way, was of that reflecting off the moon. Not sure why I went for a walk, mebbe I just needed to get away from the family for a bit...
Went sorta wandering around Duncraig. :S. Do you have any idea how many hoons terrorise the bloody neighborhood in their hoon-groups at ~8:00 at night??
A lot. Strange. I thought that Duncraig wasn't like that.
Then again, with the sudden boom of the dreadful disease "pratness-in-small-various-people" it's hardly suprising I suppose.
But yes. Immensly relaxing, despite incoherent shouts hurled in your direction every few minutes or so.
Plus on the way back home, I passed the deli, whereupon I bought chips, a Mars Bar (wow...It's been SO long since I've had a Mars Bar, it's not funny...seriously....it must've been..*thinks*...4/5 years?), a can of coke- and then sat on a park bench for a bit consuming said products.
Work was tiring today. lol. I think I've found the perfect way to get through those long, gruelling hours of work.
You have to almost detach yourself comepletly from the things happening to you...
Well, it'd be better if I described what happened in my own words"
"BibbleszebuboboboboboboAIEEEE!!!!".......
Oh. You want real words? Fine. If you don't like the word that I invented (ie, my 'own' word lol), then I'll be a bit more specific.
Ok. Where should I start. Actually- it's a bit hard to start and end, because I don't remember much of the shift at all!
It's as if my body was running on full-auto; conversing somewhat with customers, scanning and packaging items, collecting and give back money.
And my mind was in this sort of haze, mulling over ideas, thoughts, issues but only half-concious.
To be truthful, (and excepting a couple of conversations where the topic sort of snapped me back into reality), I only really remember Rebecca asking me to open-up on Lane 4, and then "Ok! You can go home now! Bye!".
..o_O
This is either a good habit to get into (because I didn't have any problems or anything! ^^),
or the few glasses of water I was drinking before my shift started- wasn't water!
Now I'm very open, and to tell you the truth *looks around house* it could be either. You can't trust anybody around here *peers suspiciously around the room again*
Why only the other day *starts whispering* I'm sure that Ma was looking at my bowl of chips with a greedy stare...and I swear when I turned for a moment, one of them dissapeared!*leans back* Mmmm.....
I'll have to prepare some sort of mouse-human-trap...so I can catch them in the act!
I'll have to include my name-tag somehow...why? Just because.
You're with them aren't you?? Oh dear godTHEY'RE EVERYWHERE! FLEE TO THE HILLS! *"M'lord! They're coming from the hills!"* RUN AWAY FROM THE HILLS! IF YOU SEE HILLS, RUN THE OTHER WAY! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAaaaargh.....

Wellll...

Just because it's a full-moon outside, and because there're approprialy dramatic, yet nonetheless effective, wisps of clouds drifting across said local satellite- I'm going to randomly post up the lyrics to Metallica's "Of Wolf And Men" :P. Basically, it's linking the 'finer' traits of human nature to those of wolves, yet still stating at the end that human's are still inferior to the animals they hunt:

Of Wolf And Men-
Words and music by Metallica
Off through the new day's mist I run.
Out from the new day's mist I have come
I hunt- therefore I am
Harvest the land-
Taking of the fallen lamb

Off through the new day's mist I run
Out from the new day's mist I have come
We shift- pulsing with the earth
Company we keep
Roaming the land while you sleep...
Chorus
Shapeshift Nose to the wind
Shapeshift Feeling I've been
Move swift All senses clean
Earth's gift Back to the meaning of life

Bright is the moon high in starlight
Chill is the air cold as steel tonight
We shift- call of the wild
Fear in your eyes- It's later than you realized

I feel a change....
Back to a better day....
Shape shift...Hair stands on the back of my neck
Shape shift...In wildness is the preservation of the world,
So seek the wolf in thyself

Shapeshift Nose to the wind
Shapeshift Feeling I've been
Move swift All senses clean
Earth's gift Back to the meaning of wolf..
And man.

Okay. I'm miffed.

GrrRRRRrrr.
Okay.
Imagine a REALLY big grizzly bear, who's just had some kid throwing rocks at him for a few hours, had rude messages passed under the table to him, and then the grumpy bear meets me....
I swear,
That even a near-to-snapping grizzly bear would hitch up his/her fur and be bolting for it, I'm in such a mood.
...
Let me see? My brain feels as if somebody's taken up a pickaxe, and gone on a homicidal-maniac rage on my forehead (ie, I have a really bad headache...I can't see properly out of my left eye...it's bad...), my back's sore because I've been riding from 4-6:30, and people (hooligans) were insulting me as I was riding with a (at the time) minor headache- so that was unfun....
But anyways,
How are YOU guys? ^^
Once again, I state that there has been s significant lack of comments lately...
Actually, now that I mention it, the blog's been getting a lot more traffic recently.
Mebbe I'm a good writer!!...
..
lmao
BAH!
What a joke....
Oooh! I have a funny funny funny, laugh-out-loud physics joke!
Hehehehe.
Ok. Here it is (from Ma's computer):
As you know, if you drop a piece of buttered bread, it will fall onto the floor butter-side down. And, if you drop a cat from a window/high place etc, it will land on it's feet. But what if you attach a buttered piece of bread, butter-side up to a cat's back and toss them both out the window? Will the cat land on it's feet? Or will the butter splat on the ground?
The Oracle thus spake the answer to be:
Even if you are too lazy to do the experiment yourself you should be able to deduce the obvious result.
The laws of butterology demand that the butter must hit the ground, and the equally strict laws of feline aerodynamics demand that the cat can not smash it's furry back. If the combined construct were to land, nature would have no way to resolve this paradox. Therefore it simply does not fall.
That's right you clever mortal! (well, as clever as a mortal can get),
You have discovered the secret of antigravity!
A buttered cat will, when released, quickly move to a height where the forces of cat-twisting and butter repulsion are in equilibrium. This equilibrium point can be modified by scraping off some of the butter, providing lift, or removing some of the cat's limbs, allowing descent.

Most of the civilized species of the Universe already use this principle to drive their ships while within a planetary system. The loud humming heard by most sighters of UFOs is, in fact, the purring of several hundred tabbies.
The one obvious danger is, of course, if the cats manage to eat the bread off their backs they will instantly plummet. Of course the cats will land on their feet, but this usually doesn't do them much good, since right after they make their graceful landing several tons of red-hot starship and pissed off aliens crash on top of them.
Hehehehe, funny funny funny.
I've got lots more, but I'm too tired to put them on-blog at the moment.
lol, I find that physics is hilaarious.
Seriously.
All the physics teachers that I've met (in and out of school) (and actually, I'd add all the maths teachers of DSHS to this list) have got this strange, very subtle, but nonetheless hilarious sense-of-humour.
Take this quote (from a physisist that I've never met/never will probably) as an example:
"It was as if you fired a 15-inch shell at a sheet of tissue paper, and it came back to hit you" (Ernest Rutherford, about the scattering of alpha particles from goldfoil, which resulted in the discovery of the atom nucleus).
See? They find something immensely interesting (at least to NORMAL people (Mum- "ie, to people who actually are GOOD at physics/maths")), and they make a funny comment about it!
My maths teacher, Mr Olsen, has got a FANTASTIC method of teaching.
You see, he has this really subtle manipulation of words and humour, which underlies his entire course.
And it makes it easier (for those who get the jokes) for somebody to remember!
lol, Emma getting 100% and beating everyone else (including Anthony, bwah!). Of course, that happened to include me...but it was worth it to see the expression on his face! hehehe...
But yes.
What should I talk about now?
Hmm.
Let me think. Actually, don't. You know how I usually end-up rambling-on about something or other for a good half-hour before I get tired and stop posting..
Eep, my head hurts.....*whimpers*
Personally, I reaaaallly dislike drugs...
I really feel uncomfortable using them. This includes Panadol/Neurofen/etc etc, which usually makes my life a bit painful to be in sometimes.
*groans* I wish I could take some Panadol damnit.....*sighs*
lolollolololol,
lol
You guys know what? You know this suppos-ed "poetry competition-thing", with the pink form?
Bwah! I'm going to enter it! Hehehe.
That's going to be funny.
Hrmm...what should I write about though? Something that I've experienced in my life, definitly.
So...hmmm...for some reason I want to use the word "cloud" in the text......
Don't ask why, it's just me being "creative" *puts hand to head* lol (-Blackadder).
Sigh. Yes. I said "sigh". That's a sure sign that I've gone completely mad, or it's too difficult for me to go Shift-8, to get the little "*" thing. Anyways, I'll seey'all later.

Signing off,

Yays yays yays for costumes!

^^
I like costume parties.
Yes. About the as forementioned costume party- I went as General Melchett from the Blackadder series ("Blackadder Goes Forth"). Hehehehe.
I had a moustache!!! It was so cool! Except
That it's impossible to eat/drink properly with a moustache...you need to sort of tilt your head like that and this, and then make sure that the little bits of hair are-it's impossible! However. Beards/moustaches are cool. I may have one (as an experiment) on day in the future.
And yes.
I had a cool haat, and I had a nice coat, and I had some cool badges (scavenged from around the house) and
I had a swagger-stick!!!! ^^ ^^
It's sooo cool. You SWAGGER with it!....well, you stick it against + under your arm, and you march along.
Because I didn't want to bother anyone with giving me a lift, I walked home, and I swaggered all the way!! ^^ Hehehe, I must've looked like such a TOTAL idiot :P. But then again, I look like an idiot all the time. So yes.
Mm. Lots of funs!!
Lots of cake....
After one slice I was full!! :(, and there were balloons again....many balloons....enough to lift up a small, cuddly dog! Hehehe, but not the barbie....
And everyone else had such cool costumes as well! There was the Birthday Girl, and Blondie, and Barbie (^^ lol, pretty cool ball dress) and Benedict (hehehe, so funny-> the image of Pope Benedict cracking open a bottle of ginger beer hehehe), and there were two bumblebees, and there were some other guys, but I can't think of the costumes they dressed as.
But yes. Lots of funs.
Anyways,
Just thought I'd let you guys know that.
BYES!!!

You Are 26% Evil

A bit of evil lurks in your heart, but you hide it well. In some ways, you are the most dangerous kind of evil.

How Evil Are You?

- What?!?!? I am SO not that evil..suuurre, I've had my little moments of *hehehe, *pours bucket of ice on person while they were sleeping for revenge**

But it's a hell of a lot better than going around putting people down. Or lying. I hate lying.....I endevour NEVER to lie to anybody. At least I try my best. And I have NEVER, nor will I ever, lied to someone I consider a friend.

Grr. Stupid test.....pretty sure that I should send them viruses in the almighty wrath of Councillor Joe.......umm. You didn't hear that.

#2:

The Movie Of Your Life Is A Black Comedy

In your life, things are so twisted that you just have to laugh. You may end up insane, but you'll have fun on the way to the asylum. Your best movie matches: Being John Malkovich, The Royal Tenenbaums, American Psycho

If Your Life Was a Movie, What Genre Would It Be?

Oooh, I like comedies. Hehehe, I'm not mad!! "I'm just a little unwell- I know, right now you can't tell"......:P Awful band that.

Naaah, SO sure that those "best movie matches" have got NOTHING on me.

I think the best representation is Arthur Dent- Hitchhikers Guide To The Galaxy:

Everything seems to go completely and utterly wrong by "coincidence" :P

#3:

Your Theme Song is Back in Black by AC/DC

"Back in black, I hit the sack, I've been too long, I'm glad to be back" Things sometimes get really crazy for you, and sometimes you have to get away from all the chaos. But each time you stage your comeback, it's even better than the last!

What's Your Theme Song?

Meh. ACDC are pretty good. And that's saying something, considering my standards for what's 'good music'

#4:

Your Band Name is:

The Furious Leprechauns

Band Name Generator

- lmfao. Pretty sure that I'll have to be the "Furious Leprechaun". Hehehe. I don't know about this 'band' idea really. Personally, I don't think that Josh/Anthony/Alastair/anybody else who "wants to start up a band" really means it.
When I say, that I want to start playing in a band. I'm being bloody serious. I'm in it for the muuusic maaannn, lolol. If I do end up playing guitar seriously, I'll probably be a solo artist. *nods head* Much more fitting to my personality.

#5 :

Your Brain's Pattern

Your mind is a firestorm - full of intensity and drama. Your thoughts may seem scattered to you most of the time... But they often seem strong and passionate to those around you. You are a natural influencer. The thoughts you share are very powerful and persuading.

What Pattern Is Your Brain?

lol (Natural influencer) , lol (strong and passionate). I am SOOO not influencial. Most of my ideas, to people around me, are like "Yeah. Just go sit over here Joe. And have this interesting ball...you bounce it...."

:P

#6

You Are The Hermit

You posses a great deal of wisdom and the ability to see people for who they are. You are always looking ahead at the future, developing visions. A loner, you tend to travel by yourself through life, seeking your own truth. You don't crave material things or fancy titles. You have no baggage. Your fortune: It's possible that there is a unknown guiding figure in your life, ready to help you. All you have to do is find this person and seek their advice. It's also possible that you need to start seeking the meaning of your own life. Either way, there's some deep thinking you need to undertake, and it needs to be done soon.

What Tarot Card Are You?

:S, that's pretty accurate :P Hehehe, I SHOULD say precise. Because accurate means (in basic terms) correct, or exact. Whereas "precise" means (once again, in basic terms) near-to the exact or correct, with varying degrees of nearness. lol

#7

You Aren't Scary, You're Scared

Probably even scared to see how this quiz came out!

Jimmy Page-

Ahhh, what an AWESOME dude...
He was the lead guitarist of "Led Zeppelin" see? And seriously,
He rocked (lol)
Then again,
Since what was probably his best solo ("Stairway to Heaven"), there HAVE been a few artists that have absolutely- how do they put it?- "Pwned....arse?..."? :P, sounds too vulgar/childish in my mouth to use with the right emotions....I'll just say "rocked" lol.
Take for example, that awesomeness awesome lead guitarist from Iron Maiden! Wossname....>.<....!..!...!-!...!!!!!!- Dave Murray? I think so..it might be the other one, but I don't know :P
lol
Anyways,
Yes.
The first weekend of the second term has passed my *not-quite* siblings-in-pencilholdings. (brethren-in-arms/whatever lol :P)
Lots of homework in the first week....hmm...I've done most of it,
But god-damnit. I'm struggling to keep-up in Chemistry again! Grr...
If only I had the opportunity to drop it..*sighs*
But I can't. Because it's either a Chem mark (which I've actually got SOME hope of getting quite a good mark) or an English mark (...doesn't need to be said...) which I'd have to use in my T.E.R/T.E.S calculations.
So I'm afraid that I'll just have to do a bit of study before I go to bed tonight + some study tomorrow morning for the test that's scheduled then.
Hmmm.....
Damnit.
I can't seem to remember how bloody bleaching works. Grr. It's got something to do with the OH- , and something to do with #ClO# ions....:P

Stairway To Heaven- Led Zeppelin

(Intro acoustic + flute joins in on second repetition)
There's a lady who's sure, all that glitters is gold
And she's buying a stairway to heaven.
When she gets there she knows, if the stores are all closed
With a word she can get what she came for.

Oooh oooh, and she's buying a stairway to heaven

There's a sign on the wall, but she wants to be sure
Cause you know sometimes words have two meanings
In a tree by the brook, there's a songbird who sings
Sometimes all of our thoughts are misgiven

(rift + tempo change - flute stops)
Ooh, it makes me wonder...
Oooooh, it makes me wonder.....

There's a feeling I get when I look to the west,
And my spirit is crying for leaving.
In my thoughts I have seen, rings of smoke through the trees,
And the voices of those who stand looking.

Ooh, it makes me wonder...
Oooh, and it makes me wonder

And it's whispered that soon, if we all call the tune
And the piper will lead us to reason.
And a new day will dawn, for those who stand long,
And the forests will echo with laughter....

Oohh
(+ drums)

If there's a bustle in your hedgerow, don't be alarmed now,
It's just a spring clean for the May Queen.
Yes, there are two paths you can go down, but in the long run,
There's still time to change the road you're on..

And it makes me wonder....
Ooohh...

Your head is hummin' and it won't go, in case you don't know
The piper's calling you to join him.
Dear lady, can you hear the wind blow? And did you know,
Your stairway lies on the whispering wind...

(rift change- lead up to solo)
(solo)
(climax of piece)
And as we wind on down the road,
Our shadow's taller than our soul,
There walks a lady we all know,
Who shines white light and wants to show,
How everything still turns to gold.
And if you listen very hard,
The tune will come to you at last,
When all are one, and one is all,
To be a rock, and not to roolll (let ring)
(outro lead guitarist + chords from other guitars, dies poco a poco until..)
(music fades to nothing)
And she's buying...a stairway...to heaven...

Do you guys ever get the feeling....

..that you're trying to scale this inner-wall?
Trying to overcome embarrassment, fear, and various other emotions so that you might perform a task?
I do. I'm quite familiar with the feeling actually.
And I'm currently battling with the old enemy right now.
"To be? Or not to be?" asked that random person in the play written by that funny person. You know. That one!....Ummmm........It's got something to do with shaking a weapon- Shakespeare! That's the one.
*shakes head*
But the best way to scale a wall, is to take a good-run up, and then just go for it. You'll waste too much time just sorta scuffing your feet at the bottom, trying to find little nooks and crannys for your feet to fit-in.
But yes.
Hm. Topics.
"To continue like this only acts as a force for no good" or something along those lines indeeeed.
...
*sighs in dissapointment*
Well. Seeing as I can't think of anything better,
I'm going to sit here and talk to you younglings (lol, seeing as most of you are OLDER than me :P) about alcohol.
Hmmmm.
Personally, I dissaprove of it. I feel that there are a lot of better ways to entertain yourselves than- what in essentiality it really is- killing-off brain cells and yourself.
Unfortunatly, it seems that about Yr 11- Perhaps Yr 12 for some of the less weak people- it seems that kids want to experiment and, most of all, fit-into the 'cool group', by experimenting with alcohol.
This is an undeniable and unfortunate reality as I've said before. Everyone at one point in their lives experiments with the effects of alchohol, but some are addicted.
Now I know that some of you guys might be protesting and going "Nah, I'm right. I'm not addicted! I just have it more often than you do, with friends".
But I've seriously noted how some of my previously great great friends have become these enormous (pardon my french) imbéciles (if you want to find out what it means in the context I'm talking about, ask). Grr. And now because they've had too much experience in too little a time, they really have become addicted.
Why only the other day apparantly, ol' borin' (lol- French) Brando was talking about how he was going to a 'party with some friends to get drunk' or something.
That's really disturbing for me.
Really.
Now I must shamefully admit that I DID go through a small stage which was SIMILAR to that.
However it wasn't with peers, and I feel a bit embarassed and uncomfortable talking about it. So I won't. It's merely to show you people out there thinking "Well how does HE know eh? He's probably never touched a drop".
I certainly drink, but by a comparitively massive gap in time-span.
I now probably only have a glass of wine- once or twice a week- with my spaghetti bolonaise. And that's only to enhance the flavour. And certainly, every few months or so, when I'm feeling quite down, I may have a bit more than usual. But these kids seem to think that it's OK to drink in the quantities that they are!
For goodness sake!
They're bloody destroying their livers, their SOCIAL connections, and most of all, setting themeselves up later in life to become alcoholics.
I do realise that I'm probably coming across as some preachy, nanny-like complainer, but I'm really worried.
I've really started to dislike the new traits that this drug has revealed in my friends, in-fact, Yr 12 has really revealed a lot of things in some people which I don't like. And I don't like not liking them!
It makes me feel really bad....
*sighs*
Anyways,
There are PLENTY of other ways to entertain yourselves! You could go out to the movies, or go out shopping, or go and spend a few dollars on some sweets with friends
And ALL of these different things are HEALTHY (lol, except in the case of the sweets :P) alternatives to a few hours of drinking, and then a day of hang-time (....lame joke on the word "hangover" :P. (Although, this one's the best I've seen for ages!!! Ok. You need to know a bit about Phsyics to sort of understand the joke *lmao*. Ok ok. Why did Newton strangle his parrot??......Because he wanted to see it torque!!! bwahahaha! lmao......ok. So it's not THAT funny, but I found it hilarious...>.< Shush!!)).
Yes.
Anyways,
I'll see you guys later.
Make sure you're starting your studies for exams right now, if you haven't already!!
Especially any History/Chem students o_O, people who slack there will suffer, trust me.

Yes.
Anyways,

Buh-byess!
