I'm talking about Rush here, the Canadian band from Toronto! Wel recently, they've announced that they might have a summer tour. Since Vancouver is a major city from their hometown, they might come here! This is a shot from their last tour:
Well, if they do come, I'm totally getting floor tickets. No question about it. Does anyone else like them?
I have just discovered that there shall be an Iron Man 2. I loved the first one, especially the villain (who was truely a nasty piece of work). I watched the trailer for the new movie, and it looks truely intense and exhilerating. I love Robert Downey Jr. in all of his movies.
2 Iron Mans? Awesome. Will anyone else see this movie?
I watched Tropic thunder yesterday. Even though it was made in 2008, I kinda only found out about it yesterday. It was a hilarious movie, I reccomend that everyone on the face of the earth sees it.
This guy was just too hilarious. Feel free to post your thoughts on this movie here.
Okay, I've been wondering about the following thing: what the heck is the significance of Easter Monday? I know what Easter Sunday is, but Easter Monday?
Hola. This entry is not about the movie, but the play. My school is doing it as a play, and I get to be this Bad-Boy! I have to die, but that isn't really a
problem for me. BZP member Letagi is composing the music, and that should be pretty sweet. If you're in Vancouver on April 28th, 29th or the 30th, come watch!
Also, for anyone who cares, Funland Chapter 56 should be up on Brickshelf soon.
I expected this movie to be way worse than it actually was. I thought there were parts that were drop dead hilarious, and parts that could have been modified a bit.
I am creeped out now by the cheese touch, it is incredibly disgusting.
As many people would say, I have finally come to my senses and purchased premier membership. I don't really feel any different. As I type this, I have just come back from a skiing day on Mount Cypress.
Gee, for a first entry this is pretty sad.
What's On The Horizon?
April 1st- Muse concert!
April 15th- Band trip!
See you guys around the forums with my new Premier status!
Around 14 years ago I received my first ever BIONICLE set for Christmas: Toa Mata Onua. From that point on, Onua has been my favourite character in the series.
I went to Toys R Us today, one in a different city, and was pleasantly surprised to find my old friend sitting on the shelf. Without hesitation, I rushed home to build him.
I have not yet opened him up, but to say that I am excited is an understatement. I can not believe BIONICLE is back, but I am happy that it is.
I have nothing but the purest excitement to see where the line goes.
In Flanders fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.
We are the Dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved and were loved, and now we lie
In Flanders fields.
Take up our quarrel with the foe:
To you from failing hands we throw
The torch; be yours to hold it high.
If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
In Flanders fields.
Remember that today is remembrance day. On the 11th hour, of the 11th day, of the 11th month, remember those who gave their lives so we could have freedom.
On this happy Sunday afternoon, I'm doing some exciting blogging!
So, what should I discuss?
Should I talk about the play at my school that just finished? People say I was perfect in it, and I suppose I believe them. But you don't want to hear about that...
Should I talk about me forming another band? I play the bass guitar in a small band of people at my school. We started practising Dear Prudence, and I have many good ideas for songs and where we can go in the future! But you don't want to hear about that either...
How about recent books I've read? Life of Pi is a fantastic read, as it has a tiger on a lifeboat with some Indian guy. Lord of the Flies is also decent, and it is how the island premise started. But that's not really spectacular...
Should I talk about my social life? It's pretty good, and I know many lovely people. But that's not interesting...
What's interesting, you may ask?
Nothing really, to be honest.
Sorry guys, if you were expecting an uplifting entry, you came to the wrong place.
Well, people may or may not know this, but October 20th was "Wear Purple Day". The reason behind this was to acknowledge the recent gay teen suicide that has risen over the past few months.
I know kids can be cruel, but drving someone to the point of suicide is just wrong.
This is a really touchy subject for me. I have two neighbours who are a gay couple, and I've known them almost all of my life. They are two of the nicest people I know, and I really love them.
I will never understand why the hatred and stereotyping of gay people exists. When did "gay" replace the word "sucks"? Seriously, around 1 out of every 10 people is gay. Are we really willing to shun a tenth of the world's population? Is the human race really that low?
