Help Is On The Way

Do you know what my top things that I hate in this world are? Well I don't have time to write down the list, but one of those things is relying on other people, especially when those people think that I rely on them because I don't know what to do or what needs to be done. I know exactly what needs to be done, I don't need you to tell me what needs to get done, I need you to get off your ass and get it done because you're the only ones who can! The Song of The Day is Help is On The Way by Rise Against.

You'll actually have to READ this one!

Drones by Rise Against
Our Time Now by Plain White T's
My Own Worst Enemy by Lit

All of these songs have been featured here at least once, and each of them was a candidate for today's Song of The Day. So which one won? Well, now that you're this far I suppose I should tell you so you can be on your way. Fuck that. First let me elaborate on why each one is qualified to be the SOTD.

Let's start with My Own Worst Enemy by Lit.
-Why It's Qualified
Who is the one person that's always getting in the way of your happiness? You. This goes for everyone. But relates to my day very little.
-Verdict
This is not the SOTD

Drones by Rise Against
-Why It's Qualified
Who are you in the eyes of the government? Nobody. That's what we are, and we could all take a hint from this song, and V For Vendetta (have I mentioned that's my number 2 favorite movie?).
-Verdict
Not The SOTD

Our Time Now by Plain White T's
-Qualification
Fuck all the rules, love jumps the barriers set by our peers and elders. All these things that happen between people are natural and good.
-Verdict?
Not The SOTD

So then what could it be? Wait, what's this?! There was a fourth competitor! The Song of The Day is All I Want by A Day To Remember. All I want is a place to call my own. To get out of this town. There were really only two options for the SOTD anyway, and both were by A Day To Remember. It was either All I Want or All Signs Point To Lauderdale.

Swing Life Away

I've been thinking about the future. Where I'll go, what I'll do, that kind of stuff. And I've decided that I want to live somewhere peaceful. Somewhere where I can just sit out on the front porch and enjoy the weather. Enjoy the silence in the air. I want to live somewhere away from people. Out in a mountain cave. Or just carve an entire home into the side of a canyon. Reinforce it against earthquakes and stuff like that. Have an entrance at the top with stairs to the main chamber, where there'll be entrances to the other hallways and rooms. And a Safe Room, or rather, all the bedrooms would be Safe rooms. Peace. That's what this song makes me think of. A peaceful, safe, quiet place all to myself and whoever else I want with me. Of course the idea for the rocker mountain mansion wasn't solely my idea (Rocket). The Song of The Day is Swing Life Away by Rise Against, it's one of their acoustic songs. It's amazing. It's peaceful. It makes me think of a bright future. I know this one is a bit earlier than when I usually post, but there's really nothing going on today. I can't go see Rocket because we don't have money for gas, or we probably do and they are just trying to keep some semblance of control over my life. One more year. If everything moves smoothly (it won't), then I'll have a job and be out of this house within the next 14 months. I have a plan this time.

Make It Stop (Septembers Children)

I'm sick of it. I'm sick of walking through the halls of schools, grocery stores, even Wal-Marts, and seeing this idea run rampant. The idea that you can trash your fellow man just for their choice of sexuality. No, not even choice, just the way they are. Ladies, Gentleman, and those of unspecified gender, my topic for today is Homophobia in America and how it is reflected upon the youth of the country. Listen to this fucking song. Towards the end Tim MacElrath lists off the names of homosexual teens that killed themselves because our society refused to accept them. The Song Of The Day is Make It Stop (Septembers Children) by Rise Against, and it is about how homophobic assholes and bullies in high school push so many to suicide before they can even... Fuck this. Just don't fucking do it. Maybe you're just projecting your insecurities upon another because you're gay and are too much of a little chickenshit to come out with it. I have gay friends, and I'll defend them for who they are. Sure we use the word "gay" as an insult to anything we don't like sometimes, but there are other words. And I'm trying to stop calling things gay in an insulting fashion, because it's not right for me to do. Instead I've come up with my own little thing that I've been saying when I dislike something, FUCKING NAZI-CANCERSTICK PROPAGANDA BULLSHIT!!! See? Not once in that term did I use "gay" in a negative way. Because it's not a negative thing, it's somebodies lifestyle, and that's not saying you can say that to offend them, because if you are gay/ transsexual or whatever then it shouldn't bother you anyway. It's just a word. And it's you, it's what you feel on the inside isn't it? Not that I'm supporting the use of "gay" as an insult (see words above all this, if you just skipped down to this specific line), but I don't think that being called gay should bother you if you truly are.

Back to my message to all of the homophobes that might be reading this, stop being assholes. Just stop it. When the kid that you verbally, or even physically, assaulted kills themselves because they think that the rest of their life would be like what you did to them, will you feel accomplished? Content? Happy even, knowing that an innocent persons blood and death will forever stain your hands you pathetic sick fucks? I have a friend that has been talked out of suicide at least 4 times now because of people like you. And to the asshole that told my friend Wolfie that "all gays should be lined up and shot in the head", the ratio of homosexual to heterosexual at your school is 2:1, and those odds are NOT in your favor. If it helps, think of what will happen when people figure out that they can kill themselves in prison, after they've murdered those of you that tortured them for who they are, but I guess that would depend on how proud and arrogant one person can be.

In a way I guess all of this could be compared to the Salem Witch Trials. American society pressures you, and pressures you to admit that you're slightly different from the majority, even if you're not. And then, when you give up, you're persecuted for the rest of your life. I can't be the only one sick of seeing this happen to, not only the youth of our nation, but even grown men and women, just admitting to themselves and the world their feelings.

Readers, homophobia is a serious issue in todays world and should not be treated lightly. Regardless of where you are, or who you are, none of us are better than another just because of sexual preference. Look up Lady Gaga's speech called The Prime Rib of America (or something like that), it's one of the greatest speeches on Don't Ask Don't Tell and opposing homophobia ever written and spoken. Stand up for your fellow human beings, don't let homophobic ideas rule your mind, anybody who feels the need to trash another person just because of their sexuality is clearly not confident in the one that they follow now. Don't tolerate homophobia in your schools, on your streets, or in the hearts of those that you hold dear. How many must be killed with harsh words and baseball bats before America truly understands that a nation divided within itself cannot stand as one in a time of need?! MAKE IT STOP, MAKE THIS END, before our hatred towards eachother ends us.

Savior

Ever have that song that just reminds you of every awesome moment with your friends? This is mine. The Song of The Day is Savior by Rise Against, because this is the song that no matter where we were, what time it was, or who we were with, whenever this song came on, you were guaranteed to hear my voice and two others. This song, regardless of whatever it means to you, and ignoring that the music video is a bunch of furries in a mosh pit type thing, reminds me that there are perfect times in the world, and they are usually found and experienced with close friends. And that sounded way to sexual.

On to my daily life of today. I was given a spider by this chick that everyone either calls Waffles, or Nasferatu (she bites. hard.) This is the same chick that runs up and hugs me every time she sees me. But today, I'm pretty sure she bit me. There's a bite mark, and nobody else was that close to my shoulder today... Anyway, The spider is SILVER. A SILVER SPIDER. Anyone know anything about silver spiders? Cuz I'm like a fucking expert on spiders and have never heard of or seen anything like this thing before. And no, I do not think that being bitten and hugged daily by some girl will affect things with The Girl. So shut up and don't jinx it.

One more thing before our usual question, go to youtube, like right now, and look up the video Don't Hug Me I'm Scared. You will shit yourself and cry because of the Handy-Dandy Notebook from Hell. Scariest shit ever. SERIOUSLY.

Now readers, what's your song of the day? (I fixed it to where peoples can actually comment. So ANSWER THE QUESTION. if I says please? PLEEEEEEAAAAASEE?)

Worth Dying For

Last night, very late last night, I had an amazing conversation with one of my old friends Rider. Now Rider and I think a lot alike, with the exception that he smokes pot, which I'm sure most of you are like "durr, stupid stoner kid". Go fuck yourselves. He is one of the smartest people I have ever met, and a kickass rocker. But anyway, we were talking about something, had to do with the earth and soul finding and shit like that, but he told me that, if we do the right stuff, "Earth has a second chance". People, look at where you are. Look at the world around you. Do you want the current beauty that you see before you destroyed and reduced to either radioactive rubble, or made into a dump for all our trash? Go through you garbage, pull out anything that could be recycled, and take it to your local recycling place (or whatever your town has). Take public transportation to work instead of getting in your car or truck or SUV or whatever the fuck you drive. It's more cost effective and better for the environment. Rather than spending 200 bucks at the pump for 10 gallons of gas (exaggerating, calm the hell down), spend $2.50 for a bus ticket. I know you've heard all of this before, but stop wasting so much electricity too. Turn off your computer when you aren't using it, you don't need to be on facebook 24/7. Unplug your chargers when there's nothing plugged into them. Get those really fancy lightbulbs that use less of an electrical charge. I know I sound like one of those Green Earth fuckers, but look this shit up. There's websites that can calculate your "carbon footprint" (the impact that your energy consumption and use has upon the environment) based on your information, I know there is, I had to use one for a school assignment 2 years ago. So come on people, speaking to you in the military especially, and the militaries around the world. You'll fight for your country's dominance, but not for the worlds health? Let's start trying to make this a world worth dying for.

Song of The Day is Worth Dying For by Rise Against, and you should already be logging off.

From Heads Unworthy

"This is me taking control" A line from Wesley in Wanted. This is me, not taking control. This is me suggesting that we, as the masses take control. Not in a violent way, and I'm not really suggesting that we take control. I'm suggesting we all move to a pseudo-Amish colony. Keep technology, scrap the internet. Isolate all connection with the outside world. Abandon money. Get rid of anything in modern society that inspires prejudice and hatred. I want to create a community of acceptance. A peoples who have no reason to hate unless angered. I understand that in order to accomplish this we would have to abandon most religion. Let them believe in a God, but not his rules or disciplines. Keep few of the 10 commandments, but don't enforce them with the threat of eternal damnation. Everything will be decided as a community rather than by an all powerful government. Our president is one of the most powerful men in the world. I don't want a community ruled by one person. Everyone should be totally equal, no money means no upper class or lower class. This isn't Communism. This is Equality. or maybe I'm just going insane and dreaming for the impossible. Song of the Day is From Heads Unworthy by Rise Against.

Paper Wings/Audience of One

I hate change. Just to throw that out there, I hate change. Moving away, moving out of a house, losing friends, hell I won't even change socks unless I have to. So when something changes or somebody leaves or something like that, it kind of throws me off. Which is why I chose these songs. Most of my friends are moving this year so it's kind of hard to grasp what I'm going to do when everyone but me is gone. Even one of the band members is moving, though I've been told not to say who. But I'm going to be here, unable and unwilling to move as long as I have a chance. Audience of One and Paper Wings both have something to do with friends going away, and both are by Rise Against, which is pretty much my favorite band. But both are excellent songs with meaningful lyrics, and I encourage anybody to look them up. Especially Audience of One.

So the songs(s) of the day is/are Paper Wings by Rise Against and/or Audience of One by Rise Against

Hero of War

I like Rise Against. For several reasons. The first of which being their music obviously, second, and you have to pay attention for this reason, their videos and songs trash the government. WIN! Now you could make the arguement that without the American government we would still be living under British rule, I could prove you wrong with startling historical accuracy. But that's not what this blog is for. The song of the day is Hero of War by Rise Against. This song gets to me. Because it's true, all the stuff you hear about happening over there in Iraq and Iran and how it's so easy for them to do their job. Those are lies. Or maybe it's true and you're just talking to the wrong people. Now I'm not saying that everything in this song is true, I don't know if the singer as any military experience, but the lyrics and the video kind of piss me off. "A hero of war, is that what they see? Just medals and scars, so damned proud of me. I brought home this flag, now it gathers dust, but it's a flag that I love, it's the only flag I trust" Patriotic, yet with some apparent resentment towards what he had to go through to bring home that flag. I have to cut this short again. Sorry, but I close with my usual question of what your song of the day is? Leave your song and initials (if you post under anonymous) in the comment section below, and if you want then a short description of why that song fits today. That's all for now Readers.
