Sanctuary (After The Battle)

So those of you who are my friends on Facebook, which would require you knowing who I am which unsettles me a tad bit, know that I recently (yesterday) acquired a copy of the greatest Playstation 2 game ever (Kingdom Hearts 2). So I got the game, and yesterday afternoon I started a new game. Since then, that profile is now a lvl 58, I've unlocked the Secret Ending, and done pretty much everything but make the Ultima Weapon, which is pissing me off. Anyway, the Song of The Day is the credits music for Kingdom Hearts 2; Sanctuary (After The Battle) by Utada Hikaru. That's all. Back to gaming.
Readers, what's your SOTD?

Far Away

I wen through a couple songs today. Picture by Kid Rock (featuring Sheryl Crow), Paralyzed by The Used, Mad World by Alex Parks (lots of different versions of this song, but she does it best. Until Sarah of Walk Off The Earth does a cover. Then she'll do it best. Until Rocket agrees to sing it for me, I'm sure I could get her to sing it for me). Anyway, the Song of The Day is Far Away by Nickelback, take it how you want it, it's a sad, meaningful song.
Moral of the story is; I miss Rocket.
But hey, here's the good news! That no-contact order is about to be shot up! METAPHORICALLY. Gods, maybe I shouldn't make gun/bullet/shooting jokes with all the recent gun issues, what with people trying to nullify the 2nd amendment and the constitution in general. But hey, fuck the principles that American society was founded on right?
I really hate that I can't stay on topic. EVER.
Readers, what's your song of the day? Song title and artist in the comments section below, along with a brief description of why, if you want. Not like I'm begging or anything. And to all my readers in Iceland, which is for some reason my highest demographic; HI!!!! How's Iceland?

I'll Be Watching You

So I got asked why I don't post as much anymore and told that I should put up a song today. Well there are a couple answers to that question. The first being that my stepfather is a lying, invasive prick who will tell any lie it takes to get my mother to hate me. He's the kind of person that's only happen when the world is miserable. (Don't even go with the "some men just want to watch the world burn" thing, that doesn't apply to him, he wants the world to be miserable).
The second answer being because I'm way too fucking depressed. I can barely form these sentences, I'm not  my usual smart-ass self with the quick responses, I'm thinking about what I say before I say it, and I've come to the conclusion that sometimes music doesn't matter. I feel like Marshall (From How I Met Your Mother) when Lily walked out. Angry, confused, alone, just generally broken. I've been doing everything the G-men have asked of me, I'm playing well with others (Except Frodo, godsdamn you Frodo, learn to shut up), I'm trying to do better in school. It's not going to be enough for them though. In the end, when I ask to see her again, they'll say no. Because all of you fucks working in our "legal system" are just like my stepfather. You just want to see us miserable and abuse your "power" as much as you can. You know the people are too scared to do anything about it, too scared to break your precious rules, and you lock up anyone bold enough to say anything against you.  So here's me speaking out. Here's me telling you the truth you refuse to believe;
You only have as much power as WE give you. WE THE PEOPLE, isn't there some famous document that starts out like that? The one that you, and your kind (The G-Men, Government Workers), have been ignoring for the last hundred years? No matter what's going on we've always got some asshole in some office trying to rip our rights away from us, and I'm not the only one that's sick of it. I mean, 6.5 billion (and counting) people in this world and I'm the only one with the same path of thinking as our ancestors? Those that settled the colonies and fought for their freedoms and what they believe in? If the presidents of old, those just, and righteous bastards, could see us now they probably would've kicked our asses for letting people rule over us the way we do. WHERE IS YOUR FUCKING PATRIOTISM?
See, now I've gone and ruined this post. It was supposed to be something sweet about how much I missed Rocket, ergo the Song of The Day being I'll Be Watching You by The Police.
What's yours?

When I'm With You

A song for last night. I had the most epic dream, last nights song is When I'm With You by Faber Drive (I've decided I don't care if I've used the same song multiple times for a while. Probably until the no-contact order is removed)

So after playing Borderlands 2 until around 1 in the morning I decided to put on a movie on Netflix, can't remember what movie it was so don't ask, and then I fell asleep. While in my sleep mode I dreamed that Rocket and I were walking around town hiding from the cops and figures of societal "authority." Then we get  to some house and my mum and her grandma are there talking. Then they tell us that our lawyers just called and the no-contact order was removed while we were out. So we went out again, got lunch, and sneaked off somewhere to be alone for a bit. And that's when I woke up and started playing Borderlands 2 again. Always at the good part of the dream right? lolz. 

I'll have the Song of The Day up in a little bit (4-10 hours from now) so until then go look up some songs and  find purpose in your life. And don't let some government fuckhead take that purpose from you.

Readers, have any awesome dreams last night?

Untitled

The Song of The Day is Untitled by Simple Plan.
So in court there's this thing that lawyers and such can do. If a comment offends somebody and they yell out "objection" or whatever the hell else they say, the offending lawyer-person can say "withdrawn." Which is basically saying "Ohshit I take it back!" So they can legally do that, but nobody else can. Why not? Why do they have the power to take back the bad things they've done, have them stricken from their record, and the regular folks like us can't? "Oh well they worked hard to get where they are in life to be able to exercise that ability in court." Shut the fuck up. They worked hard? So according to you nobody else in the world works hard enough, even those that work harder (factory workers, miners, gun-smiths and such), to be able to use this magical ability that lets you take things off the record? Well fuck, I withdraw everything I did that caused Smiley-the-judge to put a no-contact order on Rocket and I. All better? What's that? No? There's still a no-contact order. OH I KNOW! They have to hear me say it.
Readers, what's your song of the day? A pointless question as I will not get a response, so I guess that makes in an unintentionally rhetorical question. That's fucking great.

Wake Me Up When September Ends

So far September sucks. School, family, 5 months till I turn 18 (then I'm really fucked). Can't write for very long. Song of The Day is Wake Me Up When September Ends by Green Day.

Santeria

So this song is kinda stoner music, but I just got done watching Idle Hands. It's an old horror/comedy movie with Seth Green, Jessica Alba, and Vivica Fox (the chick from the first Blade movie). It's hardcore funny XD Stepfather set it up on the PS3 with some Ultraviolet streaming shit or something like that. Anyway, The Song of The Day is Santeria by Sublime. It played basically through the entire movie. Good song, but it's by Sublime and kinda total stoner music. Doesn't stop it from being a good song though.

It's Not Over

Today's song has almost nothing to do with today, and it's one of those songs that makes me happy to sing even though it shouldn't. I owe The Girl and her kickass brother for showing me this band as well. The Song of The Day is It's Not Over by Secondhand Serenade. So it really relates to my day in no way at all. Other than the title, because it's not over. Sure we got into a fight, I was being stupid, and sure things are different for Rocket and I than they used to be, again my fault, but that doesn't mean that every argument we get into is going to be our last. Because there isn't going to be a last argument for us, we'll always be arguing (lolz). Joking, we don't actually have a lot of big arguments, but when we do it's usually explosive and we both end up saying things we wish we didn't (me more than her, I'll guarantee that). We went to a party for a friend, had an amazing time, there was blood. I've noticed a cycle though, for every good day I have, a week of misery follows. But for every week of misery, there is an amazing day. So I don't really know how to deal with it.

Complicated

I know I've already used this song this year, but it's all that fits. Or maybe It's Complicated by A Day To Remember, or Out of Time by A Day To Remember. Whatever though. The Song of The Day is Complicated by Your Favorite Martian. Because right now, that's all that fits. Mainly the chorus and rap part. Rocket and I are having issues. She did something horrible, and lied to me about it. I think I can forgive her, but I can't trust her. Not for a while. It's kind of funny. She never trusted me even though I never gave her reason not to, and I trusted her with everything. Now she's broken that trust, and her promises. It's just so complicated.

Forget It

Another song chosen just for it's name. The Song of The Day is Forget It by Breaking Benjamin. The name says it all, literally. I've been fighting myself a lot lately, arguing with the thoughts, suspicious vile thoughts, and I realize that whatever my other self says is all lies. Just dirty lies that I don't need to listen to. So I'm just going to drop it, no matter how much I had myself believing they were true, I'm just going to forget it. Because some problems just aren't worth the risk, and this one had a huge risk either way. If I'm wrong, I'm screwed, if I'm right, I'm screwed.

Little Boxes

It seems that no matter how different we try to be, we always end up the same. We always end up fitting into some little sub-group or clique. That doesn't seem right to me. All these supposed role-models tell us to go out and be our own person and be unique and all that, but we all have to go up to the universities, then we come out all the same. So the Song of The Day is Little Boxes by this amazing band called Walk Off The Earth. Seriously, go to youtube right now and look up their cover of Somebody That I Used To Know (I have no clue who the original artist is, but the cover is better anyway.), it's awesome. I won't ruin it for you by telling you why it's awesome, but I think they could've used a couple more guitars. Y'know what guys, I'm just going through a whole mental deconstruction thing right now and I can't do this tonight. I'm just really messed up right now.

The Sound of Silence

Guess how much of today made sense! Nothing. I got lost in the dream world last night and I'm not sure if I'm even awake right now. It's a real inception moment, only instead of being Cobb, I'm more like Molley. Which is kind of sad. Don't worry, I'm not going to go off and kill myself because I'm confused, I'm just saying that I don't know what went on today. Literally, I know that I had toast for breakfast, pancakes for lunch, and spaghetti for dinner. Anything in between that really wasn't important I guess. So that's why the Song of The Day is The Sound of Silence by Simon & Garfunkel, because I don't understand what the song is about. Not much to report on today, I guess I'm a mean person. I never felt that I was excessively mean, but I can start paying more attention to what I say and do now.
Maybe the song of the day should've been Pain by Three Days Grace

You Had Me At Hello

So is anybody else really not into Bloggers new dashboard layout? It's all white and not very colourful, but whatever. The Song of The Day is You Had Me At Hello by A Day To Remember. It's been three weeks since Rocket and I last saw eachother, and nearly each minute has been spent trying to think of what we could do each weekend. But none of that ever happened, so this weekend has to be killer. Not killer as in murderer, but killer as in totally fucking righteous! The Poor Man's Prom planning is going well, Rocket wants it to be a masquerade, which normally I wouldn't protest to, but it's so little time and people might be discouraged to come if they don't have a mask. So I'm thinking we should just nix that idea and go straight forward with the previous plan; a semi-formal come as you are kind of thing that people don't wear masks at. None of this, aside from the 3 weeks thing, has anything to do with my song of the day. It is what it is because I miss Rocket. Sure we talk on the phone nearly every night, and we've got this weekend, but it isn't enough time. We need more together. It's like I spend most of my day just counting down to when I can call her or when she calls me. Maybe a better song would be Where'd You Go by Fort Minor, but that one turns angry towards the end and I'm not mad at her. If I'm mad at anyone it's myself. I caused all of this. The missing time is all my fault. If I hadn't gotten myself expelled then we'd still see eachother every day and the weekends, but I'm an idiot. I did something because the plan called for it to happen, and I paid for it.
A message to all of you Readers that are still in school; Don't ever do anything to get expelled. It kills certain parts of you, makes you realize just how weak you are and just how much you have to lose.

Iris

We went by the High School today to get my transcripts so I could register for summer school and for school next year. Rocket, Savvy, and The Other walked by our car, so I rolled down my window and her and I talked. Seeing her absolutely made my day, but having to leave killed me. I whispered the song Darkness Within by Machine Head all the way home through gritted teeth. Beating the shit out of myself mentally for making it to where we have so little time together. I really don't think anybody could hate me more than I do at any point in my life. But I'm trying to be positive again. The Song of The Day is Iris by The Goo Goo Dolls. I know, it's a soft-rock ballad. But it's good, and the very first line says something that I really feel.
Mother and The Stepfather forgot to pay the internet bill, so we have internet at my house anymore. So I'm at the library. I didn't read anything about there being a time limit to how long I can be on a computer, so I'll probably be here a while. Not on this page though, I'm just putting up my post for the day then getting the hell out of here.

World Around Me

I hate ruining somebodies positive mood, but there's being positive, and then there's being overly hopeful. I mean, the chances that we actually win this, are close to none. The chances of us failing? EXTREMELY HIGH. The Song of The Day is World Around Me by Escape The Fate. What's your song of the day?

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.

Janie's Got A Gun

Today marks a sad, sad day for me. It's time to hang up Janie, my acoustic guitar. I named her after the song Janie's Got A Gun by Aerosmith, which is the Song of The Day for today. A few weeks ago, during our preparation for Battle of The Bands, I was getting ready in the morning and let the dogs in so they could eat before I left for school. What does Baby Dog do? She runs in and jumps on my guitar. I didn't notice until last week the giant crack along the part where the neck and body join, and it was only getting worse from all the tension the strings were putting on the neck.
So now the neck is warping inward towards the back, we're gonna try to fix it with old fashioned steam therapy and gorilla glue, but I'm not getting my hopes up. I can scrap the tuner, strings, and pickup from it, but the body is going on the wall.
So the only good thing that really happened today is that I got new strings for my electric. Ernie Ball Super Slinky's, but now I'm out of cash. That's okay for now, cuz The Stepfather owes me 10 bucks, and there's been like 5 people emailing me about some stuff I've posted on Craigslist. (I'll post the links to my ads below. Only reply if you live in the Boise area and are willing to make a drive.)

So yeah. Minimal good came out of today, and nothing good can come out of this weekend. I know The Stepfather won't drive me out to see Rocket, and I don't think her grandparents would drive all the way out here just so she could spend a couple hours with me. I'm probably going to have to watch the baby anyway.

Better Than Me

That moment when you realize you're holding someone back from something better, and your heart stops beating, those are the moments that make us realize how worthless we think we are to the people we care about. But the moment we lose hope in our relationships with those people, that's when we truly become worthless. Never lose hope in your love, and never let your love lose hope in you. Because it doesn't matter who, or what, tries to stop the relationship of two people, if it truly love then it will last all trials. You may realize it's love instantly, or it could take months, years even of spending time with this one person to truly "fall in love" with them, but love is love.
The moment you let this song of the day come true for you, is when you begin to doubt your Love. When you feel them turn away, don't just let it happen, even if you're wrong about them losing feeling for you, show them how much you truly love them.
Say an ex comes back to you, trashes your Love, and wants you back. It won't matter, because you are in love, and whatever they have to offer is not worth giving up a future for. Worst case scenario time, say you do leave your Love, and the ex wrongs you again, your Love will take you back, they would put you back together after the monster had torn you apart, and your relationship would be either be stronger, or filled with the doubt and worry that you would leave again, this time for good.
The Song of The Day is Better Than Me by Hinder, and it is never true for those in love. It is a song that inspires doubt and self-pity, although the music is good, it is a horrible song.
I love you Rocket, and this is not the song for us.

Dude I Totally Miss You

So, Battle of The Bands is tomorrow. My band Euphonious is going on, well most of it. Fat Bastard has a wake to go to. I guess it's some kind of funeral or something, it's a legitimate excuse. The BOTB has me thinking about Florida again. Trying to get in touch with my brothers Vic and Jordon, not working out so well. The Song of The Day is Dude I Totally Miss You by Tenacious D ("no homo" as Vic would say. lolz)
I feel like I should be nervous for the BOTB, but I've got this weird kind of calm over my mind right now. I know the songs by heart, or rather by fingertips (get it? Cuz I play the guitar? Whatever, my Grandma thinks I'm funny), so I won't have any issues, except that we changed our Setlist now that I've convinced Savvy to sing for us. Points to me! Hopefully she's memorized the fucking words by now. We're doing only one cover, it's You're Gonna Go Far Kid by The Offspring. The solo isn't that hard, for the guitar, so long as the Bass-man can play the bass solo/bridge (if he can perfect the song in one night, he has earned my respect. I'mm gonna tell him if he doesn't know it, don't come on stage.), and so long as Savvy has learned the lyrics by tomorrow night. Then we're good. I'll be wearing my mask as usual. Can't have the crowd ignoring my playing because of my fucked up face.

Wisdom of The Snow

Every song tells a story, but in my opinion, the best stories are those told without words. The Wisdom of The Snow by The Trans-Siberian Orchestra is the Song of The Day, and it tells the saddest story to me. When I hear this song, it saddens me. I see a couple walking down a forest path in December, snow falling from the heavens, and the trees and ground sparkling in the moonlight like the stars in the sky. And then, he says something stupid, she slaps him and starts crying. He falls to his knees in the snow as she runs away crying. The scene changes. He comes home to a note, her stuff is gone. She'll be staying with her friend, he wants to go to her. To apologize, to fix it, but he doesn't go. Not at first. The scene changes again. He goes to her. She clings to him, they both apologize like crazy. Then they kiss. The song ends, as does the story. I don't know why I see this, but I do. I'm just glad it's not me and Rocket that I'm seeing. That's all for now readers.
