M.C. Jamez Blog of DOOM

I wonder if anyone even checks this anymore

2006-06-11T13:57:00.000-06:00

Hey all,

This is my first post since I dropped out of the IMBC ain't it? I don't really know why I'm posting; I've got nothing to say and no one to read what little I do talk of. So I pretty much figured out that I won't be able to see Candi all summer unless I visit her at work. When I work this summer it will be from 8-4 and when she works it will be from 4-some other time. So I get off work right as she starts. I might not work the entire summer, but even if I don't we would only have like 2 or 3 hours to hangout, if that.

Well my birthday's in a month from today. I couldn't really care less though, being fifteen doesn't do anything for me, I'm pretty much only excited because Candi said she'd buy me some Vault for my b-day. She's going to buy a 12-pack too so I'll get to drink Vault from a can for the fist time in my life.

Well I want to do stuff today, but I have nothing to do until like 4 or 5. I'm so bored! Well I'm gonna go try to find some way to kill 2 hours, Jamez out.

I quit...

2006-05-11T21:12:00.000-06:00

As much as I hate to do it, I resign. This competition was awesome, but it's become to stressful and a bit of a hassle. Plus I'm getting behind in school because I've been getting home past 9 on most nights. Good luck to Ful_Abs and Finley, Jamez out.

IMBC Day 40 (for real this time)

2006-05-10T21:03:00.000-06:00

Ok, well I'm in a bad mood and feel like crap so lets make this short and sweet. I'm going to write a review of the show I went to last night just because that will be easy and I'm gonna be up all night doing homework anyway.

Well we showed up and met one of our friends in the front of the line before they opened the doors. Then some awesome guy ran up yelling "Tomas Kalnoky signed my Wendy's napkin!" It seemed like it was starting off great, but then someone was like "Yo, we've been here since noon, I can't let you snake to the front like that." We didn't care though. So we waited half an hour but then we got in. Afterwards there was another half hour of waiting then No Trigger came on. They were alright, they didn't sound very good though. The vocalist kinda bugged me too. He held his mic sideways and just danced around because he wasn't playing anything. They were only on for about 30 minutes though. Then Streetlight Manifesto came on. Omigosh, they rocked. I still can't believe I got to see Streetlight live. They were all business; they came on, played, then left. They only really talked to introduce themsleves, say they were having tons of fun (don't they kinda have to) and to say they were playing one last song. Everyone was yelling "One more song!" at the end, but they just left. The best part was that Grant got Kalnoky's guitar pick and I may have gotten one too (I'll explain later.) Then the Aquabats came on. That was kind of a let down after Streetlight. The thing about the Aquabats was that they didn't focus on music, they were just focusing on showing off. They're a fun group but the people there for the 'Bats weren't there for the music. The setup of the show made a distinct line between the fans. You could easily tell who was there for the music and who was there for the 'Bats. The only problem with the 'Bats was that all the skanking pits got turned into mosh pits. Moshing was fun, but skanking is still better.

Anyways, about that pick. As I was buying a Streetlight t-shirt Candi tells Grant that he lost his pick, so he picks it up. When he gets home he realizes that he got two picks though, one from Kalnoky and the one Candi found. Evidince supporting the idea that the second pick is Kalnoky's: Kalnoky had two or more picks with him; the pick was the same brand, line, colour, and thickness as the first pick; it seems unlikely that somone would bring a pick just like the one Kalnoky has to a show then lose it. Evidence against the idea that the second pick is Kalnoky's: the pick was faded and less more dirty than the first pick, it seems unlikely that anyone who got Kalnoky's pick would just lose it, and obviously: what are the chances of it actually belonging to him?

Ok well I have to go take a shower and do tons of homework, Jamez out.

IMBC Day 40

2006-05-09T23:59:00.000-06:00

...ok, well now we continue. I bet you people were dying with suspense, and now you have to wait until almost midnight on the next day to find out how I was going to finish that sentence as well as the rest of the post. I'm guessing it was mostly the sentence though. No really, here's the rest of that sentence and blog post...now: reason that I like it. Same with Ben and Jeff, but I haven't talked to them in about a week. There's four people that haven't been mean to me that I can think of. Candi's always nice to me, Gurr and Grant were in a good mood or something, and that Tim guy (I really need to check his name because I'm probably getting it wrong and he's probably going to get pissed at me) told me that he wasn't calling me retarded, just that Trish girl that "wants [my] seed."

Well I think that you people want to know what I am wearing to the show for some reason. Either that or I need crap to talk about. It could be either one since it's so hard to guess. I'm going to wear my white button-up shirt with a checkered tie and some jeans. If those button fly jeans that Candi loves don't have holes in them then I'll wear those. Like I've said before: I don't mind holes in my jeans, but skanking/moshing in ripped jeans could be disasterous.

Well Grant apperently had an interesting day. We played basketball at a school today and we got home late so we came up with a rather long excuse. Apperently, Grant and I were walking home when we saw a yard sale sign and that slowed us down. Then we saw this guy on a little mini bike dealie and Grant loved it so it slowed us down again. After that there were some rabits on the sidewalk and we tried to go around them but they multiplied to quickly so we had to swim through the sea of bunnies. By the time we got through Grant had lost a hand but he's apperently 1/8 starfish so his had regenerated as a starfish. Well as you know a starfish isn't a very functional hand so we went to WalMart to purchase a prosthetic starfish but it was from WalMart so it fell apart after like 20 seconds. We then decided to go to Candi's house and used one of her cats as a hand for Grant, but then we ran out of time to make the rest of the story.

Well I'm pretty sure that's over 300 words, so enjoy it, Jamez out.

IMBC Day 39

2006-05-08T22:08:00.000-06:00

Well people, just to prove my lasyness I'm going to make this blog a two-part blog. Now you may ask me how that is being lazy. Well I have to do todays blog and tomorrow's blog but I'm going to that Streetlight Manifesto show (19 hours, 54 minutes by the way) so tomorrow I don't have time to think about what I'm going to write in my blog. So in effect I'm going to make one 600 word blog, but split into two seperate 300 word blogs. Is that genious or what? No it's really not, but just by asking a rehtorical question then answering it I've added more words to my word count OF DOOM. I hope you realize that by saying "OF DOOM" then commenting on it I've yet again upped my word count without having to do as much of the work.

I've decided that several animals have really awesome names. If I had the chance I would share in the awesome nameageishnessisnicity. In fact, when I'm 18 I think I should get my name legally changed to either Vole McScallop or Scallop McVole. I really can't decide which, maybe I'll take a poll or something, because public votes always solve everything. You can't see, but I'm laughing because George W. Bush is the president. Actually I think that I and everyone else should lay off Bush because now that he's not under the pressure to get re-elected he's done a few things that were actually pretty smart.

I think that May 8th is Be Mean to Jamez Day. Seriously, everyone at school (save two or three people) have been mean to me. Even my mother has been all pissy at me today. Plus Jennie and Erik have been making fun of ska music for the sole...to be continued...

Wow...

2006-05-07T21:53:00.000-06:00

Man, this is probably the worst Sunday ever. Just so all you non-Utah people know, that is saying a ton over here. Utah Sundays are boring as watching a mural of painted-on grass grow. But today wasn't boring it just sucked. I have so much homework that's all due sometime this week, but it's not little math assignments. I have huge projects I have to do. I have to memorize a monologue for theater by 8:00 am tomorrow, then write and illustrate a children's book, then write a book report (which is oral), find some old english assignments (don't even ask why because it would take forever to explain) which I deleted because my dad made me clean out all my files on the computer, and like 3 other things I can't remember cuz I'm too stressed out. Then I had to help my deceased friend's family move. I don't know what kind of "food storage" they have, but it weighs a ton. Then my dad made me to yardwork for a couple hours today. The result: my arms hurt so bad that it hurts to make a bowl of friggin' cerial. Then Candi reminded me that I have to blog, so now I'm doing that. Before I blogged I thought I'd go read the latest installment of questionable content, but all I get is a message from Jeph saying that the comic might be a little late tonight. Some break that was. On top of all this crap, I'm getting sick. Either that or allergies. I'm not too fond of it either way.

Just so you guys know: I'm tired, sick, and pissed off so if I get one "don't be so emo" or grammer correction comment on this, I'ma hurt someone. I've already got 2 or 3 comments from "anonymous" that, while helpful, are quite irksome. Not to mention Tim or whatever his name is left me a comment saying that I was retarded for posting something 3 times, but I still can't figure out what that thing is.

In closing: the concert is less than 44 hours away, Jamez out.

IMBC Day 36

2006-05-06T21:37:00.000-06:00

So I listened to No Trigger today. They're playing with Streetlight Manifesto at the concert. Grant told me they sucked, but they're really pretty good. I don't like the vocals so much, it doesn't match the music. The background is kinda like heavy skate punk, like Fenix TX, but the vocals sound all hardcore. I just don't think it seems right. I'm looking forward to seeing them though. This is the best lineup for a show I've gone to. Ok, so this will only be my second show, but still! I think I need to start like a concert scrapbook or something. So when I'm like some 20 year old music bum I can look back at it and be like, "Yeah, that show rocked" or like, "Man, that band sucked so much." Either way it's awesome.

So I started reading Artemis Fowl: The Opal Deception recently. It's a kind of a low-level book, and I'm only reading it because I have a book report, but I kinda like the book. I'm pretty upset that I have to blog right now because I'd kinda just rather be reading that book. Call me crazy, but it's a really interesting book.

I decided that I need pair of Chucks and/or a fedora/porkpie. I guess I'd rather have a porkpie/fedora than the Chucks if I had to pick one, because I already have some checkered slip-ons, but Chucks are always aweosme.

Well there happens to be a book about 2 feet away from me and it says "A very loose canon of american humor" and it surprised me because I thought that "canon" was spelled "cannon" not "canon." Now I'm confused.

Ok well I think I'm gonn go read some of my book then sleep, Jamez out. Just kidding, I'm still a few words short of 300, I hate it when that happens, but just telling you about it gave me the last few words so ha. Now a picture and I'm out.

IMBC Day 35

2006-05-05T18:51:00.000-06:00

So you all (yes, all three of you, shut up) may have noticed that yesterday's post was mislabeled. As you know (if you can count, that is) 4 does not come after 33. I meant to type "34" but missed the 3 or something. I appologize, I guess...it's not that any of you care really, it's just that I'm going to my friend's 16th b-day party in ten minutes and I really need crap to talk about so I can get this done.

So apperently my friend Armen got in a car wreck recently. That's really of no importance to anyone except me, because, like I said, I desperately need tons of crap to write about. According to Armen: Doug and Spencer didn't believe him, but then the tow-truck with his car drove by. Armen probably said "pwn't" or something like that. I really doubt he said "pwn't" though, because he's not an internet nerd. Armen is really more of a metalhead, and metalheads don't often say "pwn't." That is my understanding anyway.

So just six minutes until the party and 4 days until the show. Grant talked to the director lady and she said it was cool if we left dress rehursal at 5. So I guess Grant's father is just picking us up instead of breaking us out, which kinda takes the excitement out of it. I guess it also gets rid of any risk that she'll be like "No dice" when he picks us up, but wutev.

So I beat Kingdom Hearts today. It's not like it's the first time but the feeling of satisfaction will never fade. Or something cheesy like that, I guess.

Well Grant's here and I had 22 words left when I checked so I need to go soon. I think that onions are awesome, especially when atop the head of an emu, emo, emi, eme, or ema. Ok that was random, and just pointless filler, but that just means I'm done without doing all that work! Suckers, Jamez out.

IMBC Day 4

2006-05-04T21:09:00.000-06:00

So today I wore my jeans that got a hole in the knee. I wouldn't normally be opposed to holes in my jeans but this one was in a weird spot where if I bent my leg it would rip more. So I put duct tape on it, but after like first hour the duct tape fell off so I got some paper clips and pinned my pants shut, which looked pretty cool.

So this Trish type person keeps like leaving comments on my blog telling me she wants to AIM me. So to her I must say: I don't use AIM, I'm an MSNM guy and that I have a girlfriend so if she's trying to hit on me, stop. She seems cool enough and all, but I have a girlfriend and no AIM.

I really miss my guitar. I've left it at school for like two weeks and now I'm sad. I think I'll bring it home tomorrow so I can play it, and maybe jam with the Grant man or something. Wow, Grant just signed on Messenger, crazy. By that I mean that Grant is crazy. The first thing he said to me was "Grant is buying me a present." There's no one like Grant, except maybe Kramer.

So I'm eating ice cream with a spoon. According to Shortie (Candi) that's depression ice cream. Like what girls eat when on their periods. I'm not depressed though, and ice cream with a spoon makes me happy, so I don't get it. I'm way exausted though. I've been busy all day. I left for early morning jazz band today and didn't get home until more than 12 hours later. If I was any more tired I'd look like Dick Cheney or something like that. Speaking of Dick Cheney, Dicky Barrett of The Mighty Mighty Bosstones is awesome. I think I should write a set of laws for ska kids. I'd put stuff like "The Mighty Mighty Bosstones must always be refered to as 'The Mighty Mighty Bosstones' (or 'The Bosstones' for short)" and "You must hate No Doubt because they used to be ska but then they sold out." That would be quite fun.

Well it's my 51st post, lets party! I bet you're wondering why I didn't mention my 50th post? Well that's pretty much because I'm lazy and totally spaced it. So...uh...51st post party! Ok, party's over, get out of my URL before I cut you. I mean it, don't make me get the hose. Out now!

IMBC Day 33

2006-05-03T21:30:00.000-06:00

I feel like crap right now. I've been sick for the past few days but right now I'm really tired, I have a headache and I feel like I'm gonna puke. I'm gonna eat some grahm crackers and see if that helps. I can't make toast really because my mother always buys wheat bread. Wheat bread makes for some nasty toast. Plus I was playing with one of the foam covers to my earbuds for my iPod and I accidentally inhaled it. It took forever to cough back up because it was all plegmed to the back of my throat.

So I started reading a webcomic called "Noting Nice to Say" (I think beefy has a link to it on his site somewhere) and it's awesome. It's like Grant and me but punk instead of ska. Although Grant tells me I'm punk. I found this weird because the only punk bands I really like are the Offspring and like Fenix TX. There's some good Sum 41 and Anti-Flag out there but I don't really listen to it.

So I've gone trhough about 3 and a half grahm crackers and I still feel like crap. I don't want to take one of those zinc losenges as I go to sleep either because the taste when you wake up is unbearable. I needed like some friggin' Dave's Insanity Sauce after waking up with that crap.

So there's six days left until the concert but Grant and I are already picking out outfits for the show. I don't know if I feel feminine or n00bish. Either way it's unplesant, like a new pair of boxer-briefs.

Well, I think that's 300 words, so I'll post it then word count it and fix it if it isn't. Jamez out.

Edit: I was six words short, what the crap?

IMBC Day 32

2006-05-02T20:52:00.000-06:00

So I've been reading about moshing, mosh pits, and the like. The more I find out about moshing the more I think it sounds fun. I don't think I'd stay in a mosh pit for very long if I did mosh, but pushing around people you don't know while listening to music sounds pretty cool. Now don't get me wrong, I am and will always be a skanker, but I'm not opposed to trying moshing sometime. Speaking of ska, someone left a comment on my blog the other day asking what a porkpie is. Well I'll tell you, a porkpie is a type of hat, similar to a fedora or trilby, which is associated with both 1920's gangsters (if you've seen the godfather, you know what I'm talking about) and rudies, rude boys, rude girls, ska kids, mods, and to a lesser extent: skin heads. Now someone's going to think that when I say "skin heads" that I'm talking about racist people, but this is not so. A skin head is a bald person who shaved their head as a statement. Skin heads are typically associated with ska music but I'm sure they're not the only people that do that.

So there's exactly one week until the Streetlight Manifesto concert. I couldn't be more excited for this. All day I've been going around singing Streetlight songs and bugging the crap out of Scott. It's pretty much win-win. I can't believe I have to wait a whole other week though, it sucks so bad.

Well, it's getting close to 9:00 and I still have to take a shower, and sleep, and read Questionable Content. I don't know if this is 300 words though. I'm gonna go word count...well, I did and I was thirteen words short so I'm gonna finish this sentence then google image search "bagh" and see what comes up then post it on here, Jamez out.

IMBC Day 31

2006-05-01T20:26:00.000-06:00

It's May Day...yay? So nothing really happened to day. At all...There was school, which was (sadly enough) the most exciting part of my day. I swore and some kid named Kyler Caldwell because not only was he harrassing my friend, he was being a homophobe. Then Candi came to my house after school, but we didn't really do much. Then she left and I got on the computer, then I went to go play some Kingdom Hearts, but I didn't get much done. Then I got on the computer again, and friggin' Skachilles isn't working. I was gonna go check out some awesome ska bands that no one has ever heard of and Skachilles had to go and not work.

So Streetlight Manifesto is coming here a week from tomorrow. I'm way excited. I just wish I had a porkpie to wear to the show. Just because it's Streetlight Manifesto and the Aquabats doesn't mean I can't dress like the rudest of the rude boys.

Man, I hate being sick. I just suddenly got sick over the weekend and just now I sneezed all over my self so bad that I had to go change my shirt. I never get sick but when I do it practically kills me. I can't really miss school though because all my teachers are crazy, plus I have a test tomorrow.

Well Grant started a blog today, I have to go asap so I'll give you the URL tomorrow. It's not very good though, he made a post that was like 3 sentences long. I figured I may as well pimp for him because I have about another 40 words to kill, and he's my friend/horn section/supply of ska.

Well, I guess I have to go take a shower, sleep, try not do die because my sister is play "Hollaback Girl", and whatever else it is I do, Jamez out.

IMBC Day 30

2006-04-30T21:19:00.000-06:00

Well it's day 30, and you know what that means. Firstly, it's the end of the month and only nine days until the Streetlight Manifesto show. Second, we're a month in the IMBC and everyone is sick to death of it. By which I mean Beefy and myself because I honestly haven't been reading the other guys' blogs. I decided that I'm determined to beat Beefy, but the second Beefy drops out I'm gone. Blogging is fun and all but after a month of doing it every single day I need a break. If there's a public IMBC next year (there's been talk of it being closed to just Beefy and his friends) then I'll definately do that again. I think that having a few more people could keep things a little more interesting.

Ya know, I don't like George W. Bush as a president, but he seems like a good guy. Every time I see him talk on TV I can't help but think he seems really nice, although I never agree with what he's saying. Dick on the other hand, that man always looks really really cranky, really really like he has something shoved up his... or really really constipated. Maybe 2 caused 3 which caused 1...

So I'm almost done with Kingdom Hearts, but it seems like its over with too quickly. Unless I get bored before I can pull it off, I'm gonna try to get to lv 99 before I finish the game. It's gonna be kinda hard since I can't remember how to unlock the Pegasus Cup at the Coloseum dealie. I'm guessing that I need to beat the time trial at the Hercules Cup but I'm just smart enough to up the battle level before I try it.

Man, I'm watching the news and they're making a maypole, what is this crap? I didn't know they still did those. All the people making it look/sound like hippies too. Then there was this kids "bouldering" where they would go up in the mountains (which in utah is like 20 minutes away so it's not that nuts) then climb huge rocks just for the heck of it. That looks like tons of fun, I should go try it some time.

Alright, well I'm almost at 400 words so I'm done, Jamez out.

IMBC Day 29

2006-04-29T20:30:00.000-06:00

Another one of those days where I didn't really do much. I woke up this morning and turned on the PS2 to play some Kingdom hearts and until like 2:00 I didn't even get out of my room except to eat. Grant called me around that time and yelled at me over the phone (we were gonig to a movie) until I got up and took a shower. So I did that at Grant called like 5 times and said that he was on his way. So we went to go see Stick It which wasn't all that good really. Then from the theater we walked to the mall and hung out there for a while. One of our friends (who wishes to remain nameless) climbed from the balcony of the second floor down a column to the floor. It took him forever to do it though so Candi was late to her babysitting job which she is currently at. I was going to go play some Kingdom Hearts right now but then I remembered that I had to blog still, and now Candi just signed on to MSN Messenger so I guess I'm staying on the computer for a little while longer.

So I'm still excited for the Streetlight Manifesto show. It's in ten days I think. It's gonna be awesome. Streetlight Manifest is like the second best band in history, and I get to see them live. It's gonna be so cool.

So one of my friends is being all PMSy at everyone. For the past week or so she's be a jerk to my friend Kibbles for no reason at all. Then last night she gets all pissed off at me just because my parents said I couldn't go to a movie. I'm pretty sure she's still mad at me and Kibbles and neither of us did a single thing to her.

Wow, iPods really hold a charge well. You'd expect that if you didn't charge it for 3 days then the charge would drain a lot, but it still has like half the batter left and it wasn't full before.

To summarize the above: I've had a busy, complicated, and drama filled day that still managed to be useless.

IMBC Day 28

2006-04-28T22:41:00.000-06:00

So I didn't do much today. After school I had rehearsal for some Shakespeare thing I'm doing for school. The Shakespeare thing was a lot more fun than I thought it would be, but it still wasn't that great. After that I was going to go to a movie with some friends but I had to look after my little sister for the night. I played Kingdom Hearts (that seems to be a reoccuring theme in the IMBC doesn't it?) for hours on end. It was a quarter after 10 before I even thought to check the time.

I almost considered dropping out of the IMBC. For the last week or more I've been doing posts when I would like to be sleeping, and I'm pulling stuff out of my butt just so I can get the 300 words.

Man I wish my life was like Sienfeld. If my life was like that I would never run out of things to talk about. I mean, this show goes on forever about just buying a cake.

I swear, Candi's really pissed off at me, but whenever I talk to her she's just like "No, I'm fine." Um...yeah, I guess I have nothing else to say about that, I'm just trying to get more stuff to say. This is kinda starting to piss me off, If Beefy drops out then I'm going to also. 3rd place isn't all that bad anyway. This contest was really fun during the first two weeks or so but we're almost a month into it and everyone's just losing steam it seems like. Man, I really want to sleep right now but I still have a few more sentences to write.

In closing: my show's almost over, it's past 11, I'm tired as hell, and I'm done with this crap for tonight, Jamez out.

RAPING PIGEONS

2006-04-27T20:49:00.000-06:00

I will be the first to admit that the title to this blog is beyond the most extreme reaches of weird, but sadly enough that sums up my day. Figuratively of course. After school Grant and I came to my house just long enough to play some video games then go to his house and do our homework while listening to ska. We somehow came up with the idea of doing a "rape" album. By which I mean we take a bunch of awesome songs and replace all the verbs with the word "rape," but then we decided that would just be offensive. We came up with some awesome ones but "raping pigeons" was the best, especially the part where it says "I raped home, raped a guinea pig I raped in my mates fridge, raped the thing around its throat, raped it in the bath it wouldn't float." I swear there is a gas leak at Grant's house. One time I spent the night and we stayed up until 3 just laughing at a Winsor Pilates infomercial for no reason at all. Even five minutes after we turned the TV off I continued to laugh, which caused Grant to laugh, it was a joyous time.

So have any of you heard of the Parka kKings? They're and awesome ska band that for some reason put all their music on the internet for free. I downloaded "23 Skidoo" because Grant refused to shut up unless I did and it is awesome.

My computer keeps stalling for no apperent reason and its forcing me to type entire sentences without an idea what I'm doing. It's rather getting on my nerves. I'm making a suprisingly little amout of mistakes under the conditions though.

Ok well I have homework and Kingdom Hearts (one not two) to do, so I'll see you later internet. Jamez out, after I post my media file for today in the form of a graphic image.

Gir is about to eat the hell out of that friggin' cupcake man.

IMBC Day 26

2006-04-26T21:47:00.000-06:00

Won't somebody tap her on the shoulder and tell her blog goes on?-Catch 22

Hey internet, I think I'm gonna go find my old recorder (of the instrument variety) and pick it up (of the learning it variety) again. It has a pretty cool sound as far as cheap, plastic instruments go.

So someone hit me with a System of a Down CD today. It was a burned copy so I don't think I'll drop dead from the mainstream "nu-metal" ishness, but I might become gravely ill. If I drop dead, tell Tomas Kalnoky I love him...and Candi...At least it's not like Slipknot or anything, I would have body parts falling off left and right until I was in millions of pieces. Ok, that was kinda graphic, but so are all Slipknot songs. I heard "Dualty" by Slipknot and it was so sucky that it made me want to really "push my fingers into my eyes." It was really just that bad.

So I was in this "honor band" thing at school. Pretty much they hand you music and say "You're doing this or we'll cut you." Except for the "we'll cut you" part. I seriously had no option, and the conductor man was kinda stupid, he would always stop us at random places during rehearsals. It's done now though, so I guess its fine.

I'm going to see how long I can draw out the fact that I'm drinking a Gatoraide. Here goes: I'm drinking a Cascade Crash flavored Gatoraide brand energy drink, the bottle is open with the lid laying next to it. The label is mostly different shates of blue, except for the oh-so-familiar orange lightning bolt logo. I just consumed the last portion of the beverage, it tastes slightly of blue raspberry.

In closing: yay sleep! Jamez outnage.

I hate school. The entire concept is pretty stupid. I never learn anything except for in band, German, and math. I mean, band and German are just classes I'm taking for fun/required credit, that's never going to help me in life, and the crap I'm learning in math is, well, crap. I really don't think I'm ever going to need to graph hyperbolae except for like on a test or something. I swear, I'd go crazy without my iPod. Thankfully I can store it in my pocket with the headphones running up my shirt to the end of my sleeve on my sweatshirt, so that when I lean on my hand I can enjoy the soothing sounds of Beefy or Streetlight Manifesto. I don't see why they don't just let us use iPods at school, I'm not going to listen to most of my teachers anyway, so pretty much I either listen to music, or I'm not listening to anything. I mean, my friend got his taken away during a spirit week assembly, how bogus is that? Who really cares if he's yelling "Go Five Iron Frenzy!" instead of "Go 9th grade?" I actually would prefer the former.

Well I hope Beefy and/or Jones don't/doesn't drop out of the competition. If I don't beat Beefy in a neck-to-neck race to the finish then it's not really that exciting. I'll probably lose before then, but that's not the point. So I'm guessing that Posyden will be out, I just got the vote email, and the general idea was that posts were to be in at the poster's local timezone, though not all people agree. I'm interested to see the results of this vote, even though we've lost about half our competetors thus far.

In closing: it really pisses me off that Blogger doesn't let me copy when I right-click this window, so I have to ctrl-C it, Jamez out.

P.S. I don't remember if I need to do a picture or not, so here's one anyway:

When they come for me I'll be sitting in my desk with a blog in my hand wearing a bullet-proof vest-Catch 22

Have you ever noticed that there's two kinds of preps? There's the kind of prep that's always nice to people for no reason and says stuff like "I like the faux-hawk, Jamez!" to you even though you're (by which I mean "I'm") one of those nerd/punk guys. On the other hand: you have those preps that are like whores (yes even the guys) that do nothing except wear/listen to/say/think what is cool, which involves putting down everyone that isn't their kind. I hate those second kind. There's some particular ones (cough)AMANDA MORRISON(cough) that could go...oh I dunno...fall off a cliff for all I care.

So how about that Posyden? He might be getting voted off the island, or rather, out of the competition. Apperently he thought he could post whenver as long as it was no later than 24 hours after his last post. Everyone else seemed to be under the impression that you had to have your post posted by 12 o'colck a.m. in your timezone.

I want you all to know that there is one fortnight, 2 hours, and 4 minutes until the day of the Streetlight Manifestio and Aquabats concert. You will all sleep easier tonight knowing that. If I hadn't told you then you guys would have been up all night wondering just when Jamez was gonna go to that darn show (because when it's over he'll finally shut up about it.)

Well recently Fox 13 started a "QuickCast" dealie, where they pretty much go over everything "important" in the time span of 5 minutes. This would be a cool idea if it cut into the regular news time but all it does is make the Simpsons another 5 minutes later. I mean seriously Fox 13, wtf is up with you guys?

In closing: I still have 4 minutes until I can watch America's longest running animated sitcom thanks to some jerk-off that decided we need the news twice, Jamez out.

This is gonna be another one of those posts wihtout one of those lyrics things for an intro:

Have you ever noticed that you don't use your little finger to eat chips? I swear it, eat any brand of chips that leaves evidence on your fingers. Your little finger will be clean. I've tried it about three times today, that one finger was always clean as a whistle. Actually, whistles aren't all that clean. They allways got like spit up in them and whatnot, I've honestly never met anyone that takes good care of a whiste. They're always chewed up and slimy and grody and crap.

Teenagers are really stupid, have you ever realized that? I mean I have this friend who was allegedly flirting with my other friend, and everyone's making a big deal out of it. They're all like "OMFG DID YOU SEE DAMIK FLIRTING WITH JORDAN OMFGWTFBBQROFLMFAO" Does it really matter if Damik was flirting with Jordan? Neither of them is in a relationship, Jordan's a girl, Damik's a guy, I honestly can't see anything wrong with it.

I think that Sundays suck, why can't Fox show the Simpsons at ten on Sunday. No one cares about you're friggin' "FOX THIRTEEN SPORTS PAGE WITH MIKE RUNGE!"

So about that concert, apperently the Awesome Father of Grant Miller is going to get us out of dress rehearsal so we don't have to risk missing the show. And suddenly when it seemed all our problems were solved, the tickets state that we have assigned seats. I've never been to this "In the Venue" place so I'm keeping my fingers crossed that there's a dance floor. I mean, what's Streetlight Manifesto without tons of skanking with reckless abandon? It's still really friggin' awesome, but it would be even more awesome (if possible) with tons of "skank[ing] like you stole something."

In closing: no, screw that, I'm just done, Jamez out.

Punk meets nerd

I can't wait to tell you all about her (he can't wait to tell you about his new blog)-The Suicide Machines

It's Candi's birthday today, the big one-six. I guess that's pretty cool, I mean, she's way stoked. I'm pretty excited for the party, but I'm pretty much indifferent to her being sixteen. The party's not for another 3 and a half hours though, I mean, what am I supposed to do for that long?

So have any of you guys seen a Relicore comercial? It's a dieting pill that reduces cortisol which will also relieve stress (somehow) and they advertise it as a "feel good" pill. Am I the only one that thinks that makes it sound like a narcotic? You almost expect them to say it's a "special" pill then have like some guy pop up on the screen and wink.

So have any of you guys ever seen the origional Star Trek? Like "The Next Gen." is pretty cheesy but the first one is like fake cheese. It's like the Easy Cheese of TV. Plus they always seem to have some sort of romantic sub plot tacked on. I think that I'll stick with ol' Jean Luc Picard.

So how weird is it that I'm doing a blog at 3 in the afternoon? I usually wait until 10:00-10:30. I'm really only doing it this early because I don't know if I'll have time after Candi's party dealie. I mean, it only goes until ten (I think) but I'll probably exausted by the time I get home, assuming that there will be awesome dancing and crap like that goings on.

Man, Less Than Jake used to be so much better. I mean, don't get me wrong, Anthem was awesome, but I was listening to "All My Friends are Metalheads" today and I have to say that Hello Rockveiw is a lot better than their new stuff.

In closing: that enough random ranting for today, Jamez out.

Who's blogging now? (who's blogging now?)-Catch 22

Today I burned myself on a hot glue gun. I tell you now, internet, you would never guess where. On my wrist, and not even like the top, like the underside. I still can't quite figure out how I managed to get burned there. It's one of those annoying burns too where you get like those white heat blisters.

So I'm doing this Shakespeare thing for school, and we have a dress rehearsal on the same night as the Streetlight Manifesto concert. It ends at the same time as the show starts, and they'll probably have soundchecks and an opening band first anyway. I guess I could always ask if I can duck out right after I'm done with my thing. I guess it wouldn't kill me to miss part of the show...as long as I don't miss any of the Streetlight Manifesto part. From what I've gathered, there will be the opening band, then either No Trigger or Streetlight, and finally the Aquabats because the Aqubats are the main part of the show. I'm hoping that No Trigger is before Streetlight Manifesto so that way even if I miss anything it'll just be generic punk No Trigger. It's really gonna be a great show though. I'm just hoping that there will be skanking, because Streetlight is the only ska band playing, the Aquabats used to be ska-ish but now are quite a bit different.

I don't know why I'm even doing the play. I was litterally poked into taking the part. I only have five lines, but still. Why must the dress rehearsal be on the same night as the concert? My part's at the ent too.

In closing: I think all of you will sleep easier tonight knowing that in Sandy, Utah there is 6 minutes left until 10 o'clock pm, which is also known as 22:00 in a 24-hour clock time keeping system.

Kicking pigeons in the park, we had to stop cuz it got dark.-[Spunge]

Ok, so I couldn't fit the word "blog" into the lyrics above, but I had to do that song. I heard it today and imediately decided it was an awesome song. It made me realize that I'm pushing my band the wrong direction. I don't need complicated ska songs, I need simplistic, happy, random ska songs. It's an awsesome song, if you can find it then I suggest checking it out.

Today's not a good day for blogging. I have a headache and I'm pretty sad (excuse me emo-ness.) I was joking around with one of my friends (who just happens to be a girl) and apperently one of my other friends thought we were "cuddling" and she took a picture and showed it to Candi. Needless to say, that didn't go over well. And yes, for you people that haven't figured it out yet, Candi is my girlfriend.

So today is national weed day, did you know that, internet? Apperently "420" is police code for marijuana, and seeing as it's the 20th day of the 4th month: in any place in the US the date would be 4-20. European people are all logical. Really, what's with their units of measurements making sense? Why must they base thier length measurments on tens and their dates from smaller units to larger units? It just makes no sense to have it make sense.

Well, internet, I guess I need to go take a shower. It's one of those "spirit days" at school so I've been in my PJs all day. I smell like a combo of new hoodie and BO. I would be soaked in running water right now if I didn't have to type a few more words. What gives with you people's 300 word limit? Curse you and your reasonable rules!

In closing: stuff that doesn't suck, and even stuff that does suck, sucks, Jamez out.

I don't need anyone, I don't need anyone, I don't need anyone to tell me how to blog-Catch 22

Do you guys ever watch Ed, Edd n' Eddy? I love that show. The best line they've ever put on the show is the one where they flash forward to where they're old and Ed says "Cribbage gives me gas, Eddy!" It's hilarious because the way he says it is just so senile and crap.

So what's with all these movies featuring animated animals lately? From what I can tell Madagascar, Over the Hedge, and the other one about the city have the same plot. I mean, if I didn't want to see Madagascar then why would I want to see rip offs of it? Heck, even if I did like it then I wouldn't want to see rip offs of it. That's like if Fall Out Boy did a cover of your favorite song and totally screwed it up, but you listen to it anyway.

I think I should hijack Candi and move to Washington state. Everyone I've talked to that lives there thinks it's awesome. Maybe that's just because Kennie thinks everything is awesome, but whatev. Speaking of Kennie: the Symphonic Kennie movement is going well. We have so far a guitarist, trombonist, oboeist, and possibly a violinist. Now we just need a vocalist...I would but I can't sing while playing the guitar, and even without one I'm no Tomas Kalnoky. And speaking of Tomas Kalnoky (don't you love how I can link a whole blog into a single paragraph if I wanted to?) : 20 more days until the Streetlight Manifesto/Aquabats concert. I need to either make a paper chain or find one of those countdown things for ur computer. I'll ask Candi where to get one, she always has one. Speaking of Candi (now I think I'm just being mean) : It's her birthday Saturday and I still don't know what I'm going to get her. On top of which, I have about a 2-3 dollars to my name. I'm hoping my parents can catch this one, or at least loan me some cash.

Well I'm up-n-over the 300 word minimum. In closing: I need to go 14 minutes ago, Jamez out.

Yo get up and do summit random, yo blog it now-Lady Sovereign

Does anyone know who the "piss" Lady Sovereign is? I sure don't. I just Google'd "random lyrics" because I'm so damn busy (gasp! he said the condemn word!) I dunno if that song is named "Random" or not, but it looks pretty poser-ish. Ring a bell? (I'm pointing that the top of the screen where it says "M.C. Jamez" in case you didn't know.) I'm really busy with homework and dealing with girls, which is a fancy way of saying I have no idea what the hell is going on. I think that I'm in a fight with Candi but she hasn't told me yet. Don't you hate it when girls do that? I swear, not even girls understand them.

So I bought my Streetlight Manifesto show tickets today. According to the nice SmithsTix lady, if Tomas Kalnoky is abducted by aliens we totally get a refund, so that's a bonus. On the tickets it says "The Aquabats" though. I mean, sure it the Aquabats are the main event, but it should still read like "Streetlight Manifesto and the Aquabats" or something. It's just not fair to the second best band in the existance of the universe.

So my friend Heather and I are talking about swearing. I think that it's an excellent way to put emphasis on a point. She thinks it's offensive even if it's not harming anyone. That's Utah for you. I think on all the entering Utah signs it needs to say "If you can read this your rights are already gone." I'm really pretty pissed off at everything right now. I need a day to myself, but no way in Hell that's gonna happen. I still can't believe they suspend people now for swearing at school.

In closing, internet: everything just really sucks, Jamez out.

I'm a super, I'm a nothing, I'm a no-one, blogging nowhere fast and I don't care-Gimp

I need to say two things, well probably more but that's only cuz the two things probably won't cover 300 words: the first one is that STREETLIGHT MANIFESTO IS COMING TO TOWN!!! *squeal like a little girl*

And two: Utah is the most screwed up state in the entire nation. You all know how it's the middle of April right? IT SNOWED TODAY. That's just not normal in any way shape or form. I don't know about all of your peoples' states, but when it SNOWS six inches in the middle of SPRING. It was quite upsetting considering Grant and I walked to McDonald's. McDonald's was fun though, Grant bought me a Coke but no food so I ate packets of mustard. It resulted in my teeth being yellow, which resulted in me eating snow to clear the yellow, which resulted in my teeth being cold, which resulted in Grant getting sworn at unintelligably due to the snow. I bet your guys' Monday wasn't that awesome.

So Grant found this awesome webcomic yesterday. It's called like 21deadmonkeys or something like that. It's about a rude girl named Boston and a punk guy named Ducky. It's really pretty hilarious, but I doubt any of you would understand it because I'm pretty sure you all aren't into ska. In one comic they sacrifice emo kids to "the god known as Tomas Kalnoky." It's pretty much like my and Grant's life in webcomic form. The one comic where Boston wears an AC/DC hoodie, an Iron Maiden hoodie, and a Pantera hoodie kinda pissed me off though (she always wears a hoodie and the band name on the front changes in every frame.) She's a rude girl, not a metalhead.

I can't believe I have school tomorrow. I have too much homework to do. Which I should work on. I think I'm going to pray to Tomas Kalnoky that there's a snow day tomorrow, but in Utah there has to be like 300 feet of snow before they close school. This state sucks, as Five Iron Frenzy once said "you probably shouldn't move here."

In closing: uh...I dunno, Jamez out.

"Ducky boy, Streetlight Manifesto is touring this summer!"

"So do we still have to sacrafice these emo kids to the god known as Tomas Kalnoky"

"Well they haven't added a Detroit date yes, so it can't hurt"

"Excellent! Find some matches and I'll set up the altar!"

Just so you knows...

Beefy and Jones have yet to make an Easter Day post. I think Beefy still has 1 hour, 40 minutes left, but he's usually posted by now. I dunno about Jones, no one's told me where he lives. Could we possibly be getting rid of two? Maybe...Hank said Beefy may wuss out at the end of the month, maybe he's doing so pre-maturely?

At ease, Blogger-Gimp

Kinda a menal overload today. I've been trying to compose a song for the Symphonic Kennie (my acoustic ensemble) but I just remembered that I have a bunch of homework due in two or three days that I haven't worked on at all. I'm having problems doing it though because I'm too busy thinking about how I have so much to do. It doesn't help that I've eaten more chocolate than anything else today. Normally I'd go take a shower to try to relax but I already took one today and my mother would be all like "wtf" if I took another one. Also my girlfriend's brother just sent me a text message saying "can you talk?" That's kinda stressing me out cuz there's been problems with her family involving him (I won't talk about it further because it's not my business but it's not pleasant.) It's weird that he wants to talk to me though, I've only met him a few times.

Well Candi's birthday is in six days from now and I still haven't got her anything. Flip, can't everybody just set everything back a week so I can have a chance to get things sorted out? She's really excited about her birthday this year because its her sweet sixteen and whatnot. I'm not looking forward to my sweet sixteen in any way. It's just gonna be another birthday for me. I'm gonna call it my salty/bitter/sour sixteen anyways. I haven't decided which but I'm leaning tward salty right now.

Has anyone else noticed that it's getting harder to write 300 words? It is for me at least. By the time I'm done talking about anything even remotely interesting I'm still at about 230-some. You may be thinking that you're not even in the Iron Man Blogging Challenge so you don't need to worry about writing 300 words, but if you are you're probably Candi, because really only Candi and IMBC contestants read my blog.

I want so badly to just go watch some TV right now but I need to get working on this homework and I need to use the computer to do that so I can't do both very easily.

In closing: stay rude and don't put things off, Jamez out.

Three went down, but only two would come back up again, minimal's criminal but less is a sin. Three went down, but only two would come back up again, not gonnna blog if there ain't no way I'll win-Bandits of the Acoustic Revolution

Wow, crazy past two days. I spent the night at Grant's house last night so I'm pretty tired today, and I'm going to go back over there soon so we can jam. We're going to start a band called the Symphonic Kennie which is like a variation of the Spontaneous Kennie, but like a symphonic ensemble, bye which I mean we have acoustic instrumentation. We got the idea from Bandits of the Acoustic Revolution, which is like Streetlight Manifesto except Acoustic. I have the intro to a song written out, which is pretty difficult considering I'm writing a whole band arangement. Grant's helping too but only because I suck at writing horn parts.

I think all of you should know that I have a pork pie hat now. Not only did I get one, I got it for free. How you ask? With some craft foam and a glue gun. That's right I made it. It took me an hour and a half, but it was totally worth it. It barely even looks like a pork pie though. Grant keeps saying it looks more like a stovetop hat. I think it's awesome either way.

If you think making a pork pie hat out of foam is crazy then I haven't told you the rest of what happened. So it's spring right? Which means spring cleaning (or as Grant calls it "bulk trash day") right? Ok so Grant and I went to my house to get some cash so we could go to 7-11 and on the way back we see a desk. Grant (being the idiot he is) decides he wants the desk. I protested as hard as I could but eventually he challenged me to rock-paper-scissors and I lost. So we start taking the desk to his house. You have to understand that Grant lives about a mile away from me and it's all uphill. So we're rolling (as in we tip it over repeatedly up the hill) this desk uphil and after half-an-hour we decide to recuit our friend Megan to help us. So we carry it for a while then we call Adam, so by the time Megan has to leave Adam show's up. Grant, Adam and I proceed to haul the desk up the hill and we were aided by some random young ladies. By the time we got to Grant's house we were exausted and we lost an hour worth of time, if not more. It was pretty fun as far as hauling a desk a mile uphil goes.

The last exciting thing that happened to me was that I sort of figured out how to play the trumpet. I'm not very good at all but I can squeak out some notes. I'm pretty excited, the only problem is that I don't have a trumpet.

Well my dad need the computer. In closing: Bandits of the Acoustic Revolution is pretty much the best music group to have ever exsited, Jamez out.

The hat.

Point the blame, picture frame, blogging by the rules that's why you're losing the game-Catch 22

A'ight, so here's what's goin' ons with teh Jamez:
I had a diet Pepsi and a bowl of Western Farms brand whipped topping for breakfast, and I think I should at least have some toast or something but I'm really too tired to get some toast. I think I should stop making it a habit of blogging when I'm tired, but for some reason it seems to be more interesting then. Speaking of the word "a'ight" does anyone besides me remember that Greg the Bunny show or whatever it was with the vampire that couldn't say it right. He would try to say "a'ight" and just end up saying "ai-ig-it BLEH" that was hilarious. That show was pretty obscene if I remember correctly though.

So Candi's officially out of town, which sucks hardcore. I don't get to see her until Tuesday. Why is it that people always decide to go out of town when I have tons of free time? I always go up to people and be like "Yo' this spring break we oughta chill like a steak in a freezer." and they're just like "Nah dawg, I'ma hit Color-to-da-Ado this SB." and I'm just like "Wutev, dawg." And I think I'm mixing stereotypes there, but I'm blaming it all on the whipped topping. I still can't believe Candi's going to Colorado, and Dru's out of town too. I'm stuck with Grant, how bogus is that?

Brooke is acting pretty strangely right now. She asked me what I was doing and I therefore said that I was blogging, then she said that it seems like the blogging isn't good for me, and I have no idea what that means, and now she's making up words. Brooke's an odd person, she's like a preppy-gangsta-nerd-jock-tomboy-punk. If that isn't an oxymoron I have no idea what is.

Well I have amazing news...Streetlight Manifesto and the Aquabats are coming to Salt Lake City, Utah! I probably talked about this already but whatever. It's aweseome, Thomas Kalnoky is like Grant's and my hero. If you don't know who Kalnoky is by now you really don't read my blog. It's going to be awesome and my friend Erica can possibly get us backstage.

Well, in closing: Slipknot is not hardcore, they just really really suck, Jamez out.

Another long tiring day, another day where I'm too tired to write song lyrics for an intro. So Candi's going out of town for the rest of the spring break, which means she'll be back on Tuesday. Our spring breaks are notoriously short here in the Jordan School District, Utah. We only get five days off including the weekend, I know people that get about two weeks off. I've come to the conclusion that my school sucks a lot. It's nothing but 8 hours of emotional pain 5 days a week. So my parents have been doing that thing that all parents do when they do noting but lecture you for a week, it's really getting on my nerves. Just so you know, yes, I do live with my parents, but I'm 14 so it's pretty normal. I bet now Posyden (who can't spell "Poseiden") is going to be imature and say something along the lines of "DURR...M.CJamez...is not only a poser...but he's...four..te...e...n...ha...h...a...h...ah.ahh..hahh.ahh...lol...DURR" So Scott just asked me why I still blog if I get tired of it so often, the only answer I can give him is that I do it just so he will ask me that question. To tell the truth (haha, 4 "t" words in a row) I have no idea why I'm still doing this. Seeing as I've managed to get everyone to hate me that I've met by doing this if I was smart then I would just quit and say "Screw all ya'lls" but as you can probably tell by now I'm not smart, so expect more blogging. Ok well I'm tired and at 265 words excluding the sentence. So twenty-four more words and I'm really out of here, I'm really pretty sick of everone's crap.

In conclusion: I'm outta here, Jamez out.

IMBC Day 12

2006-04-12T23:17:00.000-06:00

No song lyrics today, it's 11:16 at night and I forgot to do a blog post. So today I was gonna go off about how Posyden was being a jerk-off, but really I'm going to just leave it at: Posyden, you are an ass; stop posing, you are not and will never be a god. I'm both physically and mentally exausted because I've been out walking for about 3 hours, so excuse whatever bad grammer and spelling this blog post may and probably will have. So it was pretty much Jordan's birthday today. People sang "Happy Birthday" to her in every one of her classes, including lunch. I made it a point to say "Chelsea" in place of "Jordan" because her full name is Chelsea Jordan M...something, too tired to remember. She hates it when people call her Chelsea. I eventually said "Happy Birthday Chelsea!" enough times today that she actually gave me permission to call her Chelsea, it was epic. I never know if that word is spelled epoch or epic, if it is epoch I think it should be epochal anways. So Scott is on Chelsea's MSN messenger account and he's changing crap so like her display picutre is some Matrix thing and her screenname is the same as Scott's. For some reason Scott wants to go by Scotty, but I really can't bring myself to call him that because that just sounds a little fruity. From now on I'm not going to use the backspace key, I'm just going so see tahw happesn when i tyep stuff. Hec, it's already going bad, whoc kknow? I dunnjo if this ies 300 words yes, and even if it is it's pretty upgely as one pararage (by which i mean paragraph) and I still need to add a picture of some sort. I'm gonna count the woirres (words) now. well that's three-o-nites (nine) words so i'm gonna take beefymeans (beefymans) advice and write a few more words than call it good, Jamjez oute.

IMBC Day 11

2006-04-11T21:33:00.000-06:00

Mrs. Butterworth's blogged for the last time today-Gimp

I realized some things about the Iron Man Blogging Challenge. The most obvious is that Beefy seems to want to intimidate people into submission, and for this, I applaud thee Beef Man. I think it's awesome that Beefy has a strategy to win the Iron Man Blogging Challenge, all I have is a notebook. Speaking of the notebook, I haven't used that in a while. The second thing I noticed is that it's a good thing the Iron Man Blogging Challenge started on the first. I'm always forgetting what blog post I'm on, but since it started on the first the blog post should be the same as the day of the month. As in: on the first I made my first blog post, the second my second, and so on.

Well I've been waiting for this day for a long time and now it's here. I got an iPod today, and if that isn't awesome I have no clue what is. It's a black 4 gigabite iPod Nano. Random facts concerning me and my iPod: I have 333 songs in my library which I think makes my iPod half evil/one-third holy, my school doesn't allow people to have mp3 playing devices at school even if they're not using them and this thuroughly sucks, I have the Gorillaz Demon Days album on my iPod which is weird because like half the iPod Nano ads have "Feel Good Inc." from that album "playing" on the iPod, my iPod needs to charge longer than I'm going to be awake, iTunes took forever to set up. The only problem with buying an iPod is that I now only have 35 dollars, and seeing as there's that concert coming up I'm going to have only 20 dollars, which will suck. I have some serious working to do when I have time.

In closing: I <3 my iPod, Jamez out

IMBC Day 10

2006-04-10T17:10:00.000-06:00

There's a blogger that knows, all that glitters is gold, and he's buying internet connection-Led Zeppelin

Well it's been another uneventful day. Other than me and A.J. getting bored in the same room as a paper shredder. What we did was ripped a bunch of papers into strips, stapled them together, and fed them into the shredder. We went for 7 minutes, 5 seconds before the shredder overheated and we had to stop. We probably had annother 7 minutes worth of paper left, but oh well.

I've got quite a bit of homework to do also. I have about a math assignment and a half to do, plus I have to color a map for Geography. I'm so glad they teach us how to color, that's going to be so helpful later on in life. I also need to practice my Holst's "Jupiter" piece for the tuba. Speaking of which, I made the Wind Symphony at Jordan next year, and he didn't find a guitar player he liked for jazz band so he wants me to go in a week or so to try out. I didn't want to do it before because I didn't want to wake up that early for one, but also because I didn't think I would make it, but since it's either me or no one I figured I would give it a shot.

So Spring Break is coming up this week. Our Spring Break sucks, we only get three days off, plus the weekend. At least it's time to get some band rehearsal in. I'm not so sure that Grant and I are going to put out that album now. Grant (being in love with Thomas Kalnoky) thinks that we should pull a Gimp (Kalnoky's first band) and only put out a cd when our band is about to break up and just put everything that will fit on the cd. Speaking of Kalnoky, our friend Gurr is always bragging about how he knows everyone from Catch 22, and how he's met the Aquabats, so we photoshopped a picture of Grant and me eating dinner with Kalnoky at a diner. It's really funny because Kalnoky's head is way out of proportion.

In closing: I just had a hamburger with catchup, mustard, salt, and pepper; Jamez out.

IMBC Day 9

2006-04-09T21:48:00.000-06:00

You've got to blog it on you-Gorillaz

So this is my 25th post, let's have a hand for the little loser man! And now lets cue the cricket noise! Well I need to hit the sack soon so I can get up tomorrow, but I have some homework I still need to do, so this blog with be short. Not short and sweet though, probably more like short and bitter, possibly short and salty.

So my crappy ska/neo reggae band is planning on producing a demo album in the near future. It's going to rock, I mean skank, I mean...well...pretty much just suck, but it's something. I don't even know where we got enough songs to put together an album. I think pretty much we had some new songs, then just re-wrote some throw-away songs. Most of them are pretty cool. One song is just a reggae guitar with Grant yelling about stuff that sucks over it. Another song is just our version of everyone's favorite national anthem, that's right, the classic "O Canada" of Canada.

So I pretty much did nothing but hangout with Grant all day, it was pretty sweet. We didn't make any progress as far as the new album goes, but it was still awesome. I mean, we had spaghetti, with tuna! Who ever thought that you could put friggin' tuna in spaghetti? I wouldn't have, because it seems weird, but it's really pretty awesome.

So you know what pisses me off about Sunday? Everything is dead. Nothing at all happens on Sunday here. They don't even show the Simpsons at ten on Sundays, now it's some stupid Fox sports show. Who cares about sports? They all suck. I really need to get some homework done but I'm not done with my blog and quite frankly I care a lot more about the Iron Man Blogging Challenge than my homework, because homework is just stupid.

In closing: I would say that I'm letting you guys go now, but if you think about it, you have the power and probably strong urge to leave at anytime, Jamez out.

IMBC Day 8

2006-04-08T08:56:00.000-06:00

Blog sees Blog's happiness, but happiness can't see the blog is sad, the blog is sad-They Might Be Giants

Well, we're one week into the Iron Man Blogging Challenge so far. Who knew I would last this long? It's just crazy. I don't even know how the other people are doing except for Beefy and Jones. I only know what Jones is doing because he's on Beefy's page so I might as well read his posts. So pretty much what I've done so far is not magage to screw up, and get everyone to think I'm an idiot, how awesome is that? Not very, I tell you.

So I went to this awesome birthday party last night. Megan's sixteen now, WOOt! I find it weird that all of my friends are like a year older than me if not more, it's awkward. We didn't really do anything though, well at least nothing scheduled. Grant wore a box at one point and we all took pictures with him, and later we had a mini concert in Megan's shed, featuring Megan's band, Telifone Pole. There was this guy there of Arabian heritage, he was so cool, by the end of the party I was calling him "Super Awesome Ninja Sammy" because he's just that cool. The only problem with Super Awesome Ninja Sammy was that he got Megan the same thing Grant and I got her. Seriously, what are the odds that Megan would get two sombreros for her birthday? It's just crazy.

O man, I still have fourty-nine words to kill but I'm really not in the mood for blogging today. Well this pretty much just sucks. Crap, and I have to find a picture too, first time I've ever not had fun blogging.

In conclusion: seriously, this really sucks, Jamez out.

IMBC Day 7

2006-04-07T07:03:00.000-06:00

I'm running right through the blog!-The Toasters

Iron Man Blogging Challenge is on it's seventh day and you know what that means folks: at the end of today the Iron Man Blogging Challenge as been going on for a week. I'm pretty excited, and if you aren't then you can just buy me a Vault, because Jamez is the Vault Pimp, foo's.

In addition to my excitement, I'm really bored. I didn't have early morning jazz band this morning so it's 7:05 and I'm just sitting around not doing anything. Well I'm blogging, but I'm only doing it at 7:05 a.m. because I'm bored. You may think that not having jazz band is a good thing, but you would only be half right. Jazz band is great because I don't have to walk to school in the mornings, but on the other hand jazz band sucks because I have to carry a Squire Stratocaster by Fender home. I just thought all of you needed to know what kind of guitar I use, because...well really I'm just trying to get more words out of the word "guitar" but wutev.

So I went to this religious play last night, I feel all soul-less and crap right now. I'm not religious so maybe I just didn't know what was going on but at the end of the play everyone's all like crying and it's all sad and I'm just thinking how stupid it is that they must use wireless mics so I can't text Erik, who was also at the play and also bored. I'm pretty sure my girlfriend thinks I'm soul-less too, she's the one that dragged me to this play, but even if she does she won't tell me becuase it would "hurt my feelings" or something like that. You all can't see it because this is a blog, but I just rolled my eyes.

So I think I'm going to make it a point to write about how crazy my friends are. Today's crazy friend: Celeste, also known as Seleste, and Lestey. Celeste is just nuts, you can practically tell from her name that she is crazy. Anyways, she's so crazy that I've decided to start a webcomic partly based on random stuff she says to me. It's going to be called "Crazyishness" and I'm sorry to say, I finally gave in and did a webcomic with stick figures, forgive me Jeph, for I have sinned.

Well I have to go because my friends seem to think it's important to be at school half an hour early, Jamez out.

IMBC Day 6

2006-04-06T15:12:00.000-06:00

Tell your mom, tell your dad, that we were super blog!-The Aquabats

I would like to start this blog off by saying three things: the first one is that I appologize to Beefy for bragging about posting a mere 100 words more than he did and that he's right that I should act as a lowly fan should and bow down to the awesomeness that is Beefy, second is that I only still have the "M.C." part of "M.C. Jamez" because I have already made too many internet accounts in the name of "M.C. Jamez" or "mcjamez," third and final is that I have a lot to write about so I expect this to be a really long post.

Ready? If not, too bad, here it goes:

The reason I know I have so much to write about is that I found a notebook and I've been writing down ideas for things to blog about, I've got over a page. It's a 6-by-9 mind you, not a full-size notebook, but a page is a lot nonetheless. I even wrote in my notebook that I was going to write about my notebook. It says "wrote about planning to write about things I'm planning to write about," which if you read it doesn't sound like it makes sence but if you think about it until it hurts, it makes just a little. Not a lot because I was tired when I wrote that, but it still makes sence.

So the other day I remembered that I had some money stashed away for future use. I thought it would only be about fifteen dollars, but it turned out to be fifty dollars. This was a great finding for several reasons. The most pressing of these reasons is that I could finally afford to pay back Grant and Jeff the money I owe them without having to have some poor kid make change for a fifty in one dollar bills. This issue was pressing because Grant and Jeff had been bugging me like crazy to pay them back. The next and less exciting reason this is good is that I now have reason to carry a wallet. This is really only good because I don't forget stuff as often, don't ask me how that works but it does. Now for the best reason, I can finally afford an iPod. I'm not going to buy one yet just because I want to have some money left over instead of just being flat broke.

So I've decided to carry around a deck of playing cards in my back pocket, so far this has been good. I've run into several situations where it has been benifical for me to have a deck of cards handy. Even if you suck at playing solitare, it's much better than sitting around bored. Another benifit is that people seem to talk to me more now that I have playing cards. People are always asking to use them or to play a rousing game of Speed with me. This increase in people talking to me leads me to say one thing and that one thing is "WTF?" I think that people only like me for my cards, but that's life. When life hands you a deck of playing cards carry it around in your back pocket and play some serious Speednage.

So I am considering going back to sucking at nerdcore as opposed to sucking at experimental music. I've gotten better feedback for my raps than for my experimental crap for one thing. For another thing the "M.C." part of my name is more hip-hop than experimental anyway.

So Grant is pretty much just nuts. He's going to a Blazer's game Saturday. Grant loves the Blazers, he's practically in love with them. He says that we should get a bunch of people and go to a Blazer's game next time they're in town, which really is a pretty good idea. In theater Grant was being annoying, but it had happy results for me. Grant looked at my blog material notebook and told me I have no life (which I promptly wrote in my notebook.) Later in theater someone asked him the time and he didn't read it correctly so I wrote in my notebook that Grant can't read time. A hyperbole? Yes, but it gets the point across. When Grant saw me writing about him he stole my pen. There was an epic struggle for the pen, when the dust cleared all that could be seen was me, holding the pen, atop Grant's lifeless body. Ok, I admit, that was also an exaggeration. Grant appologized and offered to repay me somehow. I suggested that he buy me a Vault sometime, because you all know how I love my Vault, and he agreed. This made two people that owe me a Vault, because I always help Cid with her Germish homework and she also agreed to buy me a Vault. Later I convinced Jennie to buy me a Vault, even though she didn't do anything, she's just cool like that. I just want to let you all know that I AM THE VAULT PIMP I just don't know if that makes Grant, Cid, and Jennie Vault Whores...that could be kind of weird, yet strangely interesting.

Ok, well I have more in my notebook but I'm going to be done now because the rest of that stuff sucks.

In closing: this blog post was a 940 whole words, but am I going to brag about it? No, and why not? Because I have learned my lesson. Beefy, you still teh man, dogg. Jamez out.

IMBC Day 5

2006-04-05T17:54:00.000-06:00

Make a little blog-house in your soul-They Might Be Giants

Ok! Blogger is going offline in seven minutes so lets see if I can make a full blog post before then. I don't know why Blogger is going offline, but they are. I wonder if I can type three-hundred words in six minutes, I bet I can. I would do over 600 again just to prove Beefy wrong for a second time but I really only have five minutes left.

So you may ask how the tuba try outs went. Well I tell you they didn't! I was expecting to be able to borrow a tuba from the school but I couldn't so I'm going to have to do a make up try out tomorrow morning during band class. Speaking of band class: we had the most retarded sub today. Thirty minutes into the class all we got done was listening to him talk and playing a B flat major scale several times, first with whole notes, then quarter notes, then eighth notes. Man that guy was stupid, thanx to him we only got fifteen minues of rehearsal time. In which no one worked anyways. It was just quite a waste of precious tuba practicing.

Well I'm down to two minutes and I don't know if this is 300 words. Just to see if I can pull off a 300 word blog entry in seven minutes I'm going to post it now then count the words, instead of counting the words then posting. If it isn't enough words I'm going to just edit it later, either way I'm awesome.

In closing: the time has come, Jamez out.

Edit: Dangit! I was twenty-three words short of three-hundred! Sorry about the short blog post today, I have a lot on my mind so you can expect a pretty long one tomorrow. Jamez out...again...

IMBC Day 4

2006-04-04T15:22:00.000-06:00

Blogging in L.A.-The Toasters

Oh man, I am swamped today. I have the biggest pile of homework I can ever recall having. The stupid band teacher didn't tell us about tryouts for next year until yesterday, even though they're tomorrow. Seeing as I play the tuba I have a lot of work to do to prepare a tryout piece. So I pretty much have tonight and maybe band class tomorrow to work on the fourth movement of Holst's The Planets which is entitled "Jupiter." Quite a difficult piece, one that has a lot of runs and interesting parts, it would be perfect if I hadn't got it yesterday along with the news of the tryouts. If I can't get "Jupiter" up to standard before tomorrow I guess I'll just do the sixth movement of Percy Aldrigde Granger's Lincolnshire Posy which is entitled "Lost Lady Found." It doesn't compare at all to "Jupiter" but it's the second most interesting and difficult piece I have. Plus I pretty much have it down pat. Other homework: a math assignment from two days ago that I really don't understand, two and a half days worth of biology homework and studying I missed due to a funeral and symphonic band festival, drawing a map of Eastern Europe, a geography worksheet, a small German assignment, and I have to bring a picture of myself to English class because we're doing a poetry unit and we have to write a poem about a picture of ourselves. I don't really understand how it's even possible to write a poem from a single picture, but that's the assignment and apperently our English teacher, Mrs. "Hitchy" Hitchcock, has done one. Her picture was a picture of herself when she was two-ish. I conclude that it was taken "twenty" years ago (by which I mean 50-some.)

They always say that you learn new things everyday. Well yesterday that thing was a card game called "Speed." What an excellent card game it is. It starts with twelve cards, face down, in the middle: a two piles of five on either side and two piles of one in the middle. So it looks like this:

5 cards 1 card 1 card 5 cards

Then both players get one half of the remaining deck. Both players take the top five cards from their deck and both of the middle piles are flipped. The players must use cards from their hands to add to the piles by playing cards that are either the same, one higher, or one lower than the card on top of either pile. For example: a player has a hand consisting of a king, a queen, a jack, a ten, and a six; on one pile the top card is an ace, the player can lay down the king on top of the ace, queen on king, jack on queen, and ten on jack. Every time a card is played the player draws a card from his or her deck. This process repeats until a player uses all of his or her cards. If neither player can go the top card of each of the five-card stacks is flipped onto one of the piles so that both piles in the middle have a new top card showing. The winner must yell "Speed!" when he or she wins. I found this out the hard way when I would have won but I never said "speed." What a rip-off...

Well I just want my friend Beefy to know that I can make posts of more than the minimum three-hundred words, as this post is in the ball park of six-hundred. Beefy, when I read your post for today I took it as a challenge and I showed you up. In your own words, “Suck on it!”

In closing, no seriously, Beefy, I showed you up, Jamez out.

Exact Word Count: 651

IMBC Day 3

2006-04-03T18:01:00.000-06:00

Come on boys do the East Side Blog!-The Toasters

Wow, day 3 of the competition "and now I'm feeling studly"-Beefy. No really, I'm not even like running out of material or anything. I'm listening to "Feeling studly" right now as a matter of fact. "For the love of God, Abe!" man, that Beefy always cracks me up.

So Grant gave me In Retrospect: the best of The Toasters by The Toasters today! This CD is great, it brings back memories of that show Grant and I went to. That may be because The Toasters were the main part of the show, but who really knows? Either way, it's a great CD and I suggest getting it.

I just remembered that I forgot to check Questionable Content today! I love that comic. As a matter of fact I'm going to read it now...Wow, that was a good one. That Pintsize always cracks me up, they need more of that guy. His presence is more important now than ever! I mean with all this drama going on you need a comic relief like pintsize. While on the topic of webcomics: I started reading White Ninja I don't know why but I did, and let me tell ya: for pointless violence, it's a pretty funny comic. I suggest you read it if you're not opposed to pointless violence. I also tried to start reading Bunny, but I never really got it. Great art though, it looks excelent, and it gets the point across but I never understood what the point of reading it was. I guess Jeph (the Questionable Content writer and artist) is just way smarter than me. I was really just like "zoom!" *passes hand over head*

In closing: no seriously, I don't get Bunny!!! Will someone explain it to me?? Jamez out foo's.

IMBC Day 2

2006-04-02T14:51:00.000-06:00

I've got a blog in my hand but the blog won't cock, my finger's on the trigger but that trigger seems locked-Streetlight Manifesto

Lets start this blog post off by saying I HATE SCHOOL! Even on the weekends you can't escape school. Heck, the only time you really can is the first month or so of Summer. Even during the second half of Summer there's back to school shopping and crap like that. All weekend people have been asking me if I finished this assignment, or how my grades are, or if I'm ready for that theater thing.

So Iron Man Blogging Challenge day two, how nuts is that? Pretty nuts if you ask me, seeing as I really have nothing to say except that school sucks. Eventually I'm gonna figure out how to stretch "I have nothing to say" into a three-hundred word blog post.

So the Spontaneous Kennie wrote the coolest two songs yesterday. One called "The Little Blue With Blue Eyes" and the other called "Piethon Charmer". We even invented new instruments for these songs. One called a tumbone and the other a trompet. The trumbone is a trombone with a trumpet mouth piece producing a high, sharp sound. The trompet is a trumpet with a trombone mouthpiece producing a low, fuzzed tone. They actually sound really cool, though admittedly annoying. "The Little Blue With Blue Eyese" is expected to be released as a single, although when and if paired with another song is still a question. Our next album or EP is as of now to be called "The Piethon Project" as to start a theme with all our releases being called "The [title] Project".

Well this will conclude my blog posting for the day. In closing: I'm really not looking forward to going to Hell tomorrow...oops, I mean school, Jamez out.

IMBC Day 1

2006-04-01T10:22:00.000-07:00

How dare you say that my blogging is unacceptable?-Maroon 5

Today is the first official day of the IRON MAN BLOGGING CHALLENGE 2006 it's gonna be hardcore foo's. I hate to wonder, though, seeing as this is April Foo's Day if this could be some twisted practical joke as plotted by HisBeefynes and hjo3. It is entirely possible. Only Beefy and hjo3 participated in the event last year, so that could just be a cover-up. I'm going to be upset if my daily blogging and training has gone to naught. I wonder how long this competiontion will last. Beefy apperently thinks about 2 weeks, but I say longer than that. I mean I've been making posts every day since before the IMBC started. Admittedly not every one was 300 plus words, but still...and I did forget that one day...but I still say it will go longer than 2 weeks.

Well my OGaming has gone well. I can now build ships, but I have yet to deploy them. I'm thinking it could be a lack of resouces that's restricting me, but for some reason it won't let me launch. Oh well, it was just an energy satellite.

So I have big plans for my music, and by that I mean that I'm almost done throwing something together. I don't think I'm going to do a full album just because that would be a waste and I really need to plan stuff out better but I failed with this release. I'm still going to release it though just so people can get a taste of my weird music. So expect my PWNAGE EP to be out soon.

In closing: I need a Diet Pepsi, Jamez out.

Cover for PWNAGE

PS, just so all of you know, I feel really stupid because I forgot to check if this was 300 words until after I posted it and I was about 75 words short, but I added some and I was still like 20 words short, and now I'm telling you that just to add words!

Wir Sterben Alle!

2006-03-31T20:37:00.000-07:00

Standing in line to read the blog tonight and there's a light on...heavy glow...-Red Hot Chili Peppers

I'm so amazingly awesome you just can't believe it...well not really, it's just fun to say. So today I went to Sonic then the mall with Candi and Grant. That was rather uneventful. The mall was more interesting than usual though because Grant actually bought something, it was just a plain black tie, but whatever, it's still something. The pretty much coolest thing that happened at the mall though was that the Fanzz store had Terrible Towels. I don't even like the Steelers and I was intruiged by them, they were only ten bucks too! I want one now.

So I haven't talked to Candi online since like 11 this morning. That's weird seeing as she's usually on MSN whenever I am. Oh well, she's probably doing something more interesting than talking to me. Heck, staring at a wall could beat talking to me. Speaking of which, she just signed on.

So I'm way excited for the Iron Man Blogging Challenge 2006 it starts tomorrow, it's gonna rock. So there's two new contestants, that's going to prolong the competition if not make it more interesting. Like Fenley said, it's going to be interesting seeing everyone start off great then after a while lose steam and talk about random stuff because they're out of material. I think my biggest obstacle will be the image portion of the contest. This is for two reasons: the first being that I'm really lazy and don't want to have to go to Photobucket then upload a pic and copy/paste the URL, the second being that I don't really have any pictures that would illustrate any point to what I'm saying. I guess as a solution to the second problem I could either pull a Beefy and post random pics of myself, or I could post random pics that have nothing to do with anything and just put a caption on it.

Well Jamez is tired and doesn't want to burn himself out for the competition. In closing: someone should make a Bandits of the Acoustic Revolution tribute band called Bandits of the Synthesized Revolution, Jamez out.

What a day...

2006-03-30T19:37:00.000-07:00

If you'll be my bodygaurd then I can call you Bloggy, and Bloggy when you call me you can call me Al!-Paul Simon

Man, the past two days have been nuts. Last night everybody was mad at me, and today everybody was mad at me again, except today I had to go to a funeral also. Today was just great...My friends are being pretty stupid though. Friend "A" (they asked me not to tell people, but they so deserve this so I'm just going to omit names) asked out Friend "B" but B doesn't want a boyfriend. So B freaks out and won't just turn him down because she's afraid that A will hate her if she does. So B puts me right in the middle of this and A gets all pissed off at me, and then B does. So I was like "F*** this, if you're going to put me in the middle then get pissed off at me you can deal with it yourself." So then B gets even more pissed at me, and A didn't even have feelings for B, he just wanted a girlfriend because he got dumped recently. So Candi get's all pissed at A because of it, which is pretty stupid, but whatever. And that's my day!

On a happier note, I've started playing OGame as Beefy had suggested and it pretty much rocks. It really is an awesome game. I don't know why but I guess I'm really just attracted to these online nerd games. First it was Runescape, now this. Runescape was awesome until I realized that there was no point. All you do is hone your abilities so you can get/do things that help you hone your abilities. It's kind of a circle until you max out and just start another account, which in effect creates another circle. It really is a fun game if you don't play it too obsessively, I recomend it, 8,395,739,539 thumbs up!

So about my music "career"...after listening to some awesome music today [Carlos Santana and Paul Simon (not together)] I feel kinda bad about recording random crap and passing it off as music. So from now on I'm going to plan my music out. It's still going to sound really weird but I'm going to plan what makes it sound weird. I will, however, keep the tracks "PWNAGE", "Bad Cheese" and "Experimental" as "PWNAGE" was somewhat planned and is the main track, "Bad Cheese" sounds good and "Experimental" is supposed to be random crap. I'm also going to keep my song titles. I like the title "When You Punctuate Your Sentences the Magic Message Board Opens Its Eyes to the Magnificent Lunch Table in New York New York" it's long and random.

The IMBC is coming up soon. It's gonna be hardcore, lol. I seriously suggest start checking out Beefy's blog and Jonesrilla's Journal everyday starting April 1st (the links for the blogs are on the side of the page. I just hope I remember to post every day and remember the nessicary picture every other day.

Well that's my blog for the night. In closing: Vault rocks my socks, James out.

Lucky Number 14

Ana Ng and I are getting old but we still haven't walked in the blog of each other's majestic presence-They Might Be Giants

M.C. Jamez is now awesome! It's official. I now have two promotional tracks so people can anticipate the arival of the album PWNAGE. It's gonna be big. I now have a website, but Angelfire hates me so I might need to change that. Also, I forgot where I upload files so my site should be functional by tomorrow. But as of March 28, 2006: no good. So as of right now my website is here, but again, who knows? I don't...so about the new tracks. The first one is called "Experimental" which is as Grant says "Frank Zappa on dope, wasted on his couch" which is pretty accurate. It's just me playing random tuba/piano/guitar stuff and mixing them together. The other one is called "Bad Cheese" a title inspired by my good friend Emily. In other words: I wanted some random phrase to reverse and put into my song so I asked Emily for one and she told me I smell of bad cheese. That's a lot less "on dope" than "Experimental" it's just improvised stuff like "Experimental" but it's all in the same key and sounds good. I've also recorded the track "PWNAGE" but I'm not releasing that until I get the whole album done. You people need to just live with "Experimental" and "Badd Cheese" for now. Not that you'd want either, but whatever.

In closing: I kinda hope I don't smell of bad cheese, Jamez out.

I fear change, therefore I'm changing things, wait...

2006-03-27T21:10:00.000-07:00

I need a blog to keep myself from harm-Gorillaz

I'm plotting big things for my apperence. I can't tell you what they are because I want it to be a surprise for my only regular reader. You'll know when I'm done though because I'll post before/after pics. It's gonna be hott "and I mean HAWT!" I can say that I got something at Old Navy, and I feel kinda like a sellout doing it. I don't know why but buying stuff at Old Navy gives me a weird vibe. It's messed yo'.

So like I said before, M.C. Jamez is throwing the towel in before the fight starts as far as nerdcore goes. I'm doing experimental music and there's nothing you can do about it. The good thing about experimental music is it doesn't need to sound good, just awesome. Meaning I can get it done a lot faster since it involves almost no writing. I should have something out soon, still under the name M.C. Jamez. I just need to find somewhere to host the online home of the M.C.J. I've pretty much established that angelfire won't let me make anymore websites with them, I'll take my business elsewhere I guess. Sucks for them really. I always liked angelfire. I guess I'll just go to Tripod or Freewebs. Wutev.

Well I guess this is the end of my bloggage for today. In closing, I'm listening to Streetlight Manifesto. Jamez out.

One of those Sundays that DIDN'T suck

2006-03-26T19:55:00.000-07:00

Don't stop the blog when it comes...-Gorillaz

For all you Family Guy fans out there: ya know how Meg always wears that hat? ALWAYS? She does even in the opening theme. If you notice when they all take off their gold tophats she's still wearing her other hat. It's nuts.

So Brooke heard my promotional "Pi" nerdcore song. She said I sucked but in a much more offensive way. That really kinda pissed me off, so in anger I recorded a song and totally made it up. The result was an improvised mix of tuba, piano, guitar (that I purpously made out of tune) with the overdrive turned all the way up, and a keyboard drum beat as an experimental track. M.C. Jamez is now an experimental artist. If I do any more nerdcore the rap is going to be on top of experimental music, although more organized than this pissed off improv. Experimental music rocks.

Also I went to a lecture today, it was really interesting. It was about the war in the Middle East. The guy was part of the media coverage over there. Not really much more I can say on that but it really was very interesting.

That's my day except for the intense headache that's been bugging me all day. I'll live though. In closing, there is 5.8 gallons of Diet Pepsi at my house, Jamez out.

What a day...

2006-03-25T21:39:00.000-07:00

I saw that blog...lost my mind...-Gorillaz

Oh man, one of those days. I can't believe how one of those days it's been. It's like I Can't Believe It's Not One of Those Days brand butter substitute. My friends Scott and Heather were all like in love with each other then hated each other, and now thinks that the other one hates them. And my friends were calling me insecently today. I had 10 voicemails, which I would like if they were calling to talk to me but they were just being annoying.

So for geography we have to draw a map of the U.S. complete with 6 cities per state and a physical feature per state. It was actually kind of fun as far as drawing maps goes. Since there's no way my teacher is going to read 350 names of cities/features per student so I made up half of the names. The mountains were the best: Mt. Awesome, Mt. Awesome's Revenge. Mt. Awesome's Revenge II, Mt. Still Awesome, and I got lazy so I did another Mt. Awesome. I did find Pasco, WA on the map though, which is apperently Beefy's place of residence. That was exciting. The map has eaten about 2 hours of my life so far though, and I'm still not done. All I know is that I wish there really was a Motorhead, Minnesota...

Many of you may have noticed that I didn't post yesterday, and by many of you I mean Candi because as far as I know she's the only one that still reads this blog. I had nothing to say yesterday, and kinda still don't, I'm really just winging it right now. Pink Floyd rocks, I'm wearing a cool watch, the lights just flickered for some reason, and I'm gonna go, Jamez out.

P.S. have a map:

Irony?

2006-03-23T18:35:00.000-07:00

Blog in, blog out, it's not that bad-Streetlight Manifesto

Irony seems to have been cool. By saying the word "irony" I've done something cool. I am not cool. By doing something cool when I'm not I have become a poser, which is uncool. Isn't that ironic? The using the word "irony" is doing something cool, but by being uncool whilst doing something cool I've suddenly become uncool making the use of the word "irony" ironic. How ironic.

That's not my only experience with irony today. ("you said 'irony' again") My friend recently got the Gorillaz-Demon Days album. It was amazing, it was like being in the presence of the holy grail of music. So I struck a deal with him, I would burn him a copy of Streetlight Manifesto's Keasby Nights album if he would burn me Demon Days. Later we were leaving to go somewhere and rather than put it in his backpack he put in his pocket so it "won't get stolen." just so he could pirate(shh!) it later. I told him it was "ironic."

So I've had one of those days where everyone decides to make fun of you on the same day. I swear they have meetings and plan that in advance. It gets on your nerves after a while, it really does.

Well I guess I'm done bugging you for today, Jamez out.

Hey Sergio!

2006-03-22T19:33:00.000-07:00

Blog, blog, all you do is [friggin'] blog-Streetlight Manifesto

My friend burned me a copy of Streetlight Manifesto's new cd Keasby Nights vol. 2. For all of you that have no idea what I'm talking about: Streetlight Manifesto is a ska-punk band partially made from former members of Catch-22 (a ska band) Streetlight and the origional C22 share a frontman by the name of Kalnoky. C22 produced an album called Keasby Nights which was labeled one of (if not the) best ska album(s) of all time. Kalnoky wasn't quite satisfied with the origional and decided to do a remake of it, Streetlight completely re-did the album, changing lyrics, music, and etc. The result is one of the best compact discs I have ever listened to. I strongly request checking it out if you love ska, love punk, love awesome ness, have lots of money to blow, are just bored, are depressed, or just love shiny pieces of glass intented to be "read by focusing a 780 nm wavelength semiconductor laser through the bottom of the polycarbonate layer." (www.wikipedia.org)

So today I drank the last diet wild cherry Pepsi in my house, it saddens me. Don't you hate the feeling of losing something you love? Even if it is just a carbonated beverage full of caffene with a slight cherry flavoring to it. Have you ever noticed that colas contain "caramel coloring?" It almost makes you wonder what color it would be before the coloring was added. Could it be clear? Yellow? Red? Pink? Caramel? Who knows?

So today my band teacher said I looked very 80's today. I guess he's right; I mean I was wearing a Pink Floyd Dark Side of the Moon shit, a checkered tie, and old school looking checkered Vans. I still thought it was quite a random comment to make on someone's wardrobe. I think I should go around telling people they're looking "very bohemian today" just to see how they would react. I think it would be funny, assuming they know what "bohemian" means. I'd hope they wouldn't start singing "Gallileo!" in a Queen fashion.

So I'm rather confused as to what a "hipster" is. In the Questionable Content webcomic I've been reading the characters Faye and Marten are refered to as "hipsters" quite frequently. After Wikipedia-ing and Google-ing "hipster" I've deduced that a hipster would be someone that's really "cool" and mainstream, but from what I can tell from the comic, Faye and Marten are the opposite of mainstream and in fact are trying to be seperate from mainstream culture. It's very confusing to me, if anyone could please explain that to me it would be great, but as for now I'm confused.

So my flash player isn't working, it's really not cool because so much of my daily netting involves flash in one way or another; be it cartoons, the Gorillaz website, or anything else. It's quite frusturating. To tell the truth: my entire computer is having issues, it has been for weeks now, my dad's gonna go through and totally wipe the hard drive when he gets back from Pheonix, AZ. I just hope I don't forget to back up some stuff, that would suck hardcore. Hopefully he can fix the problem because even as I'm typing this my computer keeps pausing ever few seconds.

This has to be my longest blog entry ever, I guess I have a lot on my mind today. I've had a pretty crazy day though. This new girl at school apperently has a "crush" on me (which she pretty obviously doesn't) so that rumor gets around to my girlfriend, who gets all pissy and "wants to kick Jordan's butt" which gets back to Jordan (the new girl) who's all freaked out, but by this time Candi (my girlfriend) is all calmed down and Jordan's all freaked out. It's nuts, school pretty much blows hardcore. On top of that I'm really thirsty but too lazy to go upstairs to drink something. I don't know that that's necissarily weighing down my mind but I think in some way it's pushing me to write more. Probably as an excuse "Oh, I can't go upstairs now, I'm blogging." Also this particular track from Keasby Nights vol. 2 sounds like another song I really like. The intro is a bass in bloth songs, playing the same chord progression (although mabye in a different key) and with the same rhythm. The only difference is in the 4th chord of the progression, so I hear the first three chords and expect a certain thing for the 4th one but get something different.

Well I'm getting overwhelmed by thirst so I'm going to go, Jamez Out.

Used to be Awesome

2006-03-21T19:51:00.000-07:00

That'll be the day when the blog goes down, the angels may weep but I'll hear no sounds but "hey-ey-ey-ey-ey-ey-eyeyey"-Streetlight Manifesto

So I just figured out today that I completely lost the ability to draw crapy cartoon-versions of my friends, meaning that the webcomic I was planning on making probably won't be up for a while because I can't draw. It's quite saddening really. I was way excited to follow in the footsteps of Jeph and make a kick-awesome webcomic, but unless people like stick figure webcomics I'm out of luck. I guess I could always pull the "I suck at drawing people so I'll make a webcomic about objects that are usually inanimate but can now talk and move and do stuff" trick, but I really don't want to make this suck if I'm going to do it.

Well my internet is being screwy and I'm already out of stuff to say, Jamez Out.

Angrily Blogging

2006-03-20T21:16:00.000-07:00

In love, with Beefy's blog-Beefy

I'm pretty pissed off at my school right now. They passed a law that makes it illegal to use obscene, vulgar, or crude language, and they will suspend people for it. My friends I are all pretty pissed off. We're coming up with a new system of swearing, no joke. I'm also going to make a t-shirt that says "I love the first amendment, why can't you?" as soon as I get that zip-hoodie I've been wanting. It's not so much that I miss swearing as that it seems to violate our first-amendment rights. If I wasn't so lazy I'd probably just petition or send a letter, but I am and making a statement sounds like more fun anyways. My school staff is gonna be gettin' a lot of makeshift profanities and t-shirts man. I'm gonna statement the hell outta my school.

Considering my rights being raped, I'm in a pretty good mood today. I'm actually setting up my computer nerd RPG game. It's going to be played via forum so even people I don't know can get in on the nerdish fun. It's gonna rock, hardcore. It's gonna go down at this place, please join if you're interested, even thought it probably won't be in action for annother week or so. It's going to be computer nerds playing an RPG about computer nerds, how ironic.

So in addition to the RPG I'm also going to be creating a webcomic when I get time. I seriously love Jones and Questionable Content. I don't know what it's going to be about, and I'm not very good with C.G.ing stuff, so I won't be able to put it on a 5 post/week basis, but I hope it will still be good.

Well internet, it's been fun but I'm gonna say goodbye for the night, Jamez out.

Interestingly Unproductive

Blogging by numbers every night and day, blogging by numbers it's the only way, blogging by numbers every night and day, blogging by numbers is the only way to write!-Mustard Plug

As is usual for your common Sunday, nothing productive happened today. That being said, I had a very interesting and possibly life changing day. Who knew a webcomic could rock so hard? Sorry Beefy Man, but it's not you, although the Beefy Comic is teh r0x0r$$. No, I'm talking about the drama-filled awesomeness that is Questionable Content. That comic is so f-ing addicting, thank you Jones for showing me. Seriously, today I read all 580 pages of it so far. I now have inspirations to start a coffee shop (I'm to young to even get a friggin' buisness liscence, plus no one in Mormon Country USA [Utah] drinks coffe), wear my hair all grungy and messy whilst wearing a black zip up hoodie and/or a t-shirt that says "TEH" on it, and great an RPG game based on Dungeons and Dragons but put to an internet setting.

The coffee shop idea is probably not gonna happen due to lack of funding and lack of age. It would be pretty awesome though. I can see it now, a totally relaxed place where I could chat with customers all day. I could totally play whatever music I wanted too. Heck, I could make it entirely ska-themed. I'd have like a checkered stripe on the wall, cherkered tables, play ska music all day, and I'd call it "Two-Tone Coffee" which would totally be a play on words from the Toasters song "Two-Tone Army."

I seriously am planning on making that RPG game though. I'm planning on calling it Spammers-n-N00bs. Ya know, I'd jut get all my old Dungeons and Dragons buddies together, heck I've already got one of them to agree to it. It's gonna PWN.

I could also get the whole black zip-up hoodie, TEH shirt, and messy hair thing going if I had a job and/or some cash. Just the hoodie would run me 45 bucks, I didn't even bother to check the TEH shirt. I guess I can just dream.

Well that's all my inspiration and interesting stuff for today. 580 pages worth of webcomic can really eat up your free time. Check out Questionable Content and get addicited like me, it rocks. Jamez out yo.

Everything Sucks (Reel Big Fish wasn't lyin' to ya buddy)

I know everything sucks and this won't be the last time you hear me blog...-Reel Big Fish

Ever have one of those days where less than squat goes right? My girlfriend is way religious so she wants me to go to this way religious play in April for reasons I can't quite grasp, and since I can't grasp them I can't tell if she's pissed off at me or just way dissapointed or what, all I do comprehend is that it's not good. Plus my f-ing MSN Messenger is having fits and refuses to work correctly. And I've been so f-ing stressed out with school and all that this weekend I just want to hangout and maybe hit a Starbucks, but no apperently I'm making a short movie, recording some rap with G-Milla, going to 7-11 to buy a Slurpee for Adam, going to Paul's (who I still have no idea where he is located) to have a Dance Dance Revolution party, hanging out with my girlfriend (I'll tell ya right now that one's not gonna go through) and I'm sure there's something I forgot but even if I didn't that's still a lot more than I want to do today. Man, I could really use a nap and a lot of fried foods...

Tell ya the truth internet: I don't even know why I'm typing this, I'm sure that even if anyone reads it they couldn't care less. Heck as far as I know Kennie is the only one that has ever read my blog, but whatever.

Well I'ma go try to not be depressed. Jamez Out.

I'm Out of Title Ideas! XD

It's tough making a post, but I'm livin' it up, livin' it up (do do do do) livin' it up, livin' it up...Post!-Limozeen/The Brothers Chaps as Strong Bad

Hello internet, shall we dance? Well I'm watching King of the Hill right now, it's the episode where Hank finds out he has a Japanese half-brother; or rather, the second part of the episode where Hank finds out he has a Japanese half-brother. This show pwns. I mean, I love the Simpsons but that gets old after you've seen that episode ten to fifteen times (yes, I am a nerd, thanks) but KotH never gets old. I could watch it forever, it's like f-ing ice cream man.

Ya know, I thought that the Iron Man Blogging Challenge was to be started on April 1st, but seeing as I can't find where I got that, I'm not so sure. I'll have to check with the Beefy man. I still think that it's way cool that I know an internet celebrity even if it is via the internet.

So how about Dance Dance Revolution? I personally love that game. Seriously, where else will you get to dance to awesome Asian music/crappy techno music as dictated by a seires of scrolling, flashing arrows? It's flashy and scrolly! Apperently we're having a DDR party tomorrow, how nuts is that? Its gonna rock even though I'm way outta practice. The only big problem is that it's at Paul's house and I have no idea where Paul lives. I'm hoping I get a call and it'll all be good.

Sharing a computer with your family sucks. My mother always just takes the computer (it's a laptop) from me and doesn't even let me finish what I'm doing first, it kinda pisses me off, but that's life. I mean, life is like a box of chocolates, you never know when Chuck Norris is gonna kill you.

Well I'm gonna go look for stuff do to, Jamez Out yo'.

Post Numbuh Drei (three)

I am blogger man!-Black Sabbath

Hey ya'll, what's up? I'm posting from school, it's nuts, seriously. I'm such a nerd I actually got out of school today. There was a state math competition at the University of Utah today. It was sweet. I scored 67, I only scored 2 points lower than my friend Jennie whis like a friggin' genius. So we came back and my awesome math teacher said we didn't have to go to last period. So I have half an hour to blog and or surf the internet. Tim just told me his internet was "Lagging like lag has never lagged before."

Chuck Norris jokes are great. "When Chuck Norris goes swimming he doesn't get wet, water gets Chuck Norris'd" "The dinosaurs pissed of Chuck Norris...once." "When Chuck Norris does a push up he doesn't push himself up, he pushes the earth down." I mean, they're all great. Chuck Norris rocks. So does Clint Eastwood. Clint Eastwood is a great song by the Gorillaz too.

Speaking of the Gorillaz, have u seen the new El Mañana video? It's awesome, and sad. Very very awesome, and very very sad...I love the Gorillaz. Coolest alternative hip-hop virtual band featuring gorillas. Probably the only one too...

So Beefyness.com is back up, which rocks. It's been down since like Sunday, which sucks. How am I supposed to live without the awesomeness that is Beefy and Beefyness.com? I have like 2 projects due tomorrow that I've got pretty much zero progress done on.

Well I'ma go socialize and/or check my email. Peace out, internet. Jamez out.

Post Numbuh Two

Two blog army (hey hey, hey hey) Two blog army (hey hey, hey hey)-the Toasters

Hellw internet, how are you? I'm pretty good. There's been all sorts of drama, school, and being hated by angelfire/fences recently; but all is well now. Althought my arm kinda hurts for no obvious reason. How nuts is that? It's pretty nuts, seriously.

The progress on PWNAGE has improved greatly. As in, I thought some thoughts, but didn't write anything down. But slim to buttkiss progress is still progress. And with my newfound drumming skills I shall OWN, PWN, and OTHER WORD THAT MEANS THE SAME AS OWN/PWN the nerdcore genre. Well except for Beefy, M.C. Chris, M.C. Frontalot, Futuristic Sex Robots, or anyone else you have ever heard of that might possibly in any way shape or form be related to nerdcore rap, nerdcore hip hop, or geeksta rap.

Speaking of nerdcore. If you go to the Aquabats official website and read the history it states that they are nerdcore! Which is nuts, because I always thought nerdcore was rap/hiphop. I guess they could be like nerdcore rock or something, but I still found it strange.

Have you ever noticed that Greenday is total poser rock? Well at least the American Idiot album. Greenday's popularity makes me laugh though. No, it's not because their music is repetitive, uncreative, and anti-gov't and everyone (even the ultra-conservative right-wingers at my school) love them; even thought that's pretty dang funny. It's because as soon as something gets to big, it's cool to not like it. So one week, during Greenday's peak, all the preps and populars went from saying "I LUVS GREENDAY OMFGWTFBBWWTFLMFAOOTFLMA!!!!111oneoneone!!" to "Greenday sucks!!!!!!111oneone!1!!!!!1!!!1" It's quite funny, I mean really. When something's cool it's cool to like it but once everyone likes it because it's cool it's cool to not like it because it's cool, ah how the popularity works. It's just like a plot triangle for a book, in fact, I'ma start calling that situation "The Pop Triangle."

Well I think I'm gonna eat a spoonful of peanut butter than take a shower. Random, but I'm experementing. Crazy? Yes. Worthwhile? No. Awesome? Maybe, I dunno yet. Jamez out, homiez.

Back on the blog again

2006-03-14T15:27:00.000-07:00

Hello friends I'm back again, back on the blog again, and I've heard that you were lonely so I'm here to be your friend again. -Beefy

This is my third friggin' try at a blog because Angelfire hates me. I'm really hopin' that this one doesn't get deleted, cuz if it does, not only will I not be in the Iron Man Blogging Challenge 2006! I'ma be way pissed...So i'm blogging again, and still sucking at it. That's right, I'm so bad at everything that I can't even express my feelings and thoughts via the internet. Now that's talent...or rather, a severe lack of. I'm just that cool. I think the whole talentless thing is gonna be mine. I mean the thing with ska and nerdcore is you have to make fun of yourself, and Beefy totally owns the fat thing. I mean compared to my friends I'm a load, but compared to Beefy, I'm just a little chunky. Nothin' against Beefy of course, he PWNS in all aspects of the word. So my nerdcore thing is sorta going down the hole. Without a means of decent-quality recording I've lost my will to write.

So I'm still way excited for the IMBC 2006, assuming I don't get deleted again, that is. It's gonna rock. I'll probably get last place, but it's still gonna PWN. April 1st it's on...hardcore...man am I a poser.

Well I'm totally blanking right now, Jamez Out.
