A Neeeeew Caaaaaaar!!!!!

It's official, We're not movin' yet.
Our time tables have turned, Dr. Evil-Moving-In-Peoples. The people that are moving in to the house have trouble with getting their stuff out of their dumpy house. So yeah, we're stayin' fer a couple of weeks mo'.

Just got back from Roseburg. Me and my sister stayed at our cousin's house from Monday to today. We met our ultra-cool cousin's ultra-cool friend, Melissa. She likes just about everything we do. Bright Eyes, Aqua Teen Hunger Force, etc.

Yesterday, my parents got a "new" car. To us anyways. Used. A 2003 Chevrolet Trailblazer. It's so cool. It's got backseat air conditioners, and it's big. Oh boy.

Packin' Like Crazy!!!

Hello.

Yesterday we started (well, i did) packing stuff for the big move. My room is now a crap pile. You can walk in, but not anywhere else. Speaking of packing, there are belongings of ours that currenlty belong to others. In other words, people borrowed things of ours that they NEED to give back. Well, only one thing. My aunt currently has our Donkey Kong 64 game. I re-heeally want to play that game so much. I can't wait till i get to again.
Anyway, If i can I will post during next week.

We've Got Both Kinds! Country and Western!

Next week, from Monday to Sunday, I'm going to visit my relatives in Roseburg. My aunt and uncle, cousins and grandparents. They've only goy country music and one other stuff station over there. It's ridiculous.
Anyway, I have a very busy weekend.
Saturday: My Dad's friends come over
Sunday: Visit sister's friend to stay the night
Monday morning: Go to Roseburg (about a 3 hour drive)
Yes, yes. Very busy. So I might not post in a while. We've only got five days left to move after Sunday. It's going to be a EXTREMELY hectic five days.
Guess what? This Friday on the Sci-Fi Channel, they're going to start showing episodes of Firefly! I cannot wait! (Although, i might miss a couple...) I'm going to get the DVD anyways. It's like a lead-in thing to the movie. Serenity! September 30, 2005!!!

Our computer might be on the first of it's last legs. We got a thing on our computer sying "Your computer might be at risk." Not one of those pop-up things you get on the Internet, but an official thing in the bottom right of the screen. I gave it some "antidote" AKA deleted a LOT of stuff.

This Isn't A Circus.

Alright. Right now, my parents are at a negotiation meeting for the house. Things are going pretty fast now. A bit of a crazy time. We don't even have a house yet in S.C.! It's ridiculous. Anyway, yesterday with the cavalcde of quotes...That was just in case i didn't post. I did, of course.
Okay. I have nothing to think about, or say.

Get Out of My House!

Alright, me again. We got an offer on the house today. Yeah. So expect a moderately long hiatus. I will write as much as i can and update and keep you all posted. I will miss you guys, all of you, and your kitties and puppies and fishies and chickens and super-llamas and cows, horses, dinosaurs, super-chickens, etc. I will leave you all with a cavalcade of quotes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Goooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooood-Byyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyye.

See ya'll whenever. Probably tomorrow.

Um...Yawn...

We just got back form an incredibly long showing ride/sit. The people said they would be here at 11:00. Here it is, 12:39, just about fifteen minutes ago we came into the house. Yeah! I know! And they said they might make an offer today or tomorrow. They also asked if we could be out by the 5th of August. That could almost definitely mean that I'll miss the Decemberists show on the 12th. This makes me very angry. They can't be serious! That's in less than 3 weeks! Come on!
Anyway, today for the remainder of the day I'm going to chill out, drink some DCVDP (Diet Cherry Vanilla Dr. Pepper, I'm a diabetic, not a health nut.), watch stuff, eat, play Sly Cooper, blah-dee-blah.

Mariner's Revenge Song lyrics

We are two mariners Our ship's sole survivors In this belly of a whale It's ribs are ceiling beams It's guts are carpeting I guess we have some time to kill
You may not remember me I was a child of three And you, a lad of eighteen But, I remember you And I will relate to you How our histories interweave
At the time you were A rake and a roustabout Spending all your money On the whores and hounds (oh, oh)
You had a charming air All cheap and debonair My widowed mother found so sweet And so she took you in Her sheets still warm with him Now filled with filth and foul disease
As time wore on you proved A debt-ridden drunken mess Leaving my mother A poor consumptive wretch (oh, oh)
And then you disappeared Your gambling arrears The only thing you left behind And then the magistrate Reclaimed our small estate And my poor mother lost her mind
Then, one day in spring My dear sweet mother died But, before she did I took her hand as she, dying, cried: (oh, oh)
"Find him, find him Tie him to a pole and break His fingers to splinters Drag him to a hole until he Wakes up naked Clawing at the ceiling Of his grave"
It took me fifteen years To swallow all my tears Among the urchins in the street Until a priory Took pity and hired me To keep their vestry nice and neat
But, never once in the employ Of these holy men Did I ever, once turn my mind From the thought of revenge (oh, oh)
One night I overheard The prior exchanging words With a penitent whaler from the sea The captain of his ship Who matched you toe to tip Was known for one cruel deed
The following day I shipped to sea With a privateer And in the whistle Of the wind I could almost hear (oh, oh)
"Find him, find him Tie him to a pole and break His fingers to splinters Drag him to a hole until he Wakes up naked Clawing at the ceiling Of his grave
There is one thing I must say to you As you sail across the sea Always, your mother will watch over you As you avenge this wicked deed"
And then, that fateful night We had you in our sight After twenty months, it seemed Your starboard flank abeam I was getting my muskets clean When came this rumbling from beneath
The ocean shook The sky went black And the captain quailed And before us grew The angry jaws Of a giant whale (oh..)
Don't know how I survived The crew all was chewed alive I must have slipped between his teeth But, oh, what providence What divine intelligence That you should survive
As well as me It gives my eye great joy To see your eyes fill with fear To lean in close And I will whisper The last words you'll hear (oh, oh)

Hey, Man! That's My Pizza...

Alright. Last night, on Jimmy Kimmel Live, wait, let me just explain this first.

You know that R. Kelly "song", "Trapped in the Closet"? The stupidest/funniest song in the history of time. Anyway, last night he parodied it with his own video, "The Pizza". It is the second funniest thing in the history of time. I laughed for hours. I could not stop! It was so incredibly and remarkably hilarious.


Right now, my second favorite song is "The Mariner's Revenge Song" by The Decemberists. Now one of my favorite bands. I will post the lyrics. Later in another post.

1) "Do you bathe your cats?"
"The fur would stick to our tongue!"

2) I'm (of course) listening to Picaresque - The Decemberists

Not To Spring This On You, But...

As you read yesterday, I was talking about a house showing. My family and Iour selling our house (trying) and moving to South Carolina. Looooooooooooooooooooooooong way's away, isn't it? Yes. Yes it is.

Here's something I'm kinda mad about: I got an email saying that They Might Be Giants were going to be here in Portland at the Crystal Ballroom, right? So, I was just flippin' through the entertainment section of the paper, I noticed an ad for the show. 18+! Do you know how much grief can eensue from a die-hard (well, die hard at first, but then, kinda melty) fan of their sweet, sweet rock-and-roll music? Tons! But, on the other hand, The Decemberists are coming here, and it's free, so I am on the edge of my proverbial seat here. It's this whole Bite Of Oregon thing. Food fest. and they have sweet, sweet music there. TMBG was there last year. This year (as mentioned) The Decemberists, The Violent Femmes, Little Richard, the Dirty Dozen Brass Band, Natalie McMaster, etc.

This is Interesting...

I've been thinking: I should write down jokes and ideas for my movie which i will make when i "make it big". I haven't done a lick of writing. Am i pathetic or what? Yeah. I very much am. Does that make sense? Last week or so I wen through a period where i said things that didn't make sense, and/or didn't say the right words at the right times, things like that.

Today we totally had to drive around all day! Yesterday, we got a call for someone to look at the house, right? We went out. Then we got back. We got a call for another showing! Yeah. The time window: 3:30 - 5:00!
I know! Huge! We just drove around for an hour and a half. It was very long and tedious for the first part, then time kinda floated away...Anyway, um...wow. Nothing else. The new Strong Bad email's pretty funny.
That's it.

Anyone Can Be A Poet. You Know That, I Know That. And There's Alot You Can't Learn In Your Fancy Books And Internets.

I have nothing much to say. Boring. I had to clean my room. Sometimes i like it. I listen to music. It's great.

I have a website of my poetry and stuff.

thehomsar.deviantart.com

You know what? Our family has Comcast High-Speed Internet. With tat you get free Rhapsody Radio and 25 free plays of any song you want every month. And I am really digging this. You can make your own radio stations and stuff and listen to artist radio and all that and things of that nature.

You know what? Poetry is not that hard. You can just have open words that don't mean shit and just say whatever the heck you want. You know?
It doesn't have to rhyme, and if you want to, it's tricky. Rhyming is tricky.

Warning: This blog post contains an unusually strong use of exclamation points. Viewer discretion is strongly advised.


MTV and VH1 are a bunch of idiots. That whole Live 8 thing. All they did was show 2-5 seconds of music, then they'd have 10 minutes of talking! It's ridiculous! Then they get all these complaints of them only talking. Then they have to show it all again! It's just silly! They even interrupted Pink Floyd!!!!!! I gotta go eat a pot pie. L8r.

Laughing So Hard! A.K.A Ramp of Rants Pt. 3

The title explais it all. R. Kelly's Trapped in the Closet videos are the funniest things I've ever seen. I'm sorry. The outside scenes. You could see te green screens! Come on! And the sings aren't even songs! They're "talks"! It's just people talking! There's no chorus! And I'm also laughing on the floor from the TWoP forums about music videos. Hilarious.

What Happened...

It was a dark day the other day. The London terror attacks. I give whole-hearted condolences. There will still be Dailies today. Because life still goes on.

Something to Think About

I just found this on the Bright Eyes website.

I want you all at saddle creek to know that i had a tremendous amount of respect for mr. oberst until i saw his performance on jay leno tonight. This man is an idiot. I do not wish to be subject to his political bial or views on atheism. I simply want to hear his music. I will never again support anything that bright eyes, or saddle creek records, does. This display was completely ridiculous. I think that conor should also note, that the only reason he is libral, is because it's the trendy thing to do right now. It's pathetic that the people who claim to be different; those who people like us are supposed to look up to, people who "think for themselves" and are only who they want to be. People that are supposedly good writers and the thinkers of our time, are subject to the fads of the political system. Congradulations conor, you've lost a fan. - Zach

Yup. I agree somewhat. I totally do not respect this song, or the person who wrote this scathing review. I hate the song. I think that it has the lyrics I've ever heard on it. But that is the tradition of folk music. It's supposed to bash authority. And that's the only reson I like it. I just don't respect the words and views of Mr. Conor Oberst, but, Just because I don't agree with the song's message, doesn't mean I don't have to like any of his music, you know?

Anyway. I thought i would just take some time to say those words.

Good day.
