In a sense gone,
Never take friendship personal.
If you can't hold yourself together,
why should I hold you now?
-Never Take Friendship Personal - Anberlin (The song, not album)
That CD (Never Take Friendship Personal) is amazing. If you like Anberlin, you should buy it. Now. :P It's also got some cool Album Artwork. Anyway, some of you might have noticed that I was gone for about 2 weeks. We went to Florida again. My mom reeaally likes it there. And that was our last trip for a while (So I understand). Ok, I have a lot to tell you. I didn't bring the laptop, so I'm not going to be able to bore you with the details. But we left on Thursday the 29th. We travelled directly from our house to Disney, usually we stop at my grandparent's house. If it hadn't been for my iPod, the trip would've seemed a lot longer than just 10 hours. lol But we stopped at some outlets that we stop in every time, and I got a really cool shirt. Actually, it's 2 shirts, a long sleeve underneath, and a short, dressier one over top. And they're black. So it's kind of awesome. ^_^ So we got there at around 9 or so. We checked into the Pop Century, and basically hung out in the room or arcade. I got some pop rock things with the 1000+ tickets I had accumulated from previous trips. I had them with soda, DANG the popping noise was loud. :P (Not of my stomach popping, don't worry =D) We went to the Magic Kingdom the next day. They were filming the Christmas day parade. BTW, if you watch it on TV, and at some point when they're interviewing 2 people on Main Street, if you see a kid in a brown shirt to the far right waving like an idiot, you'll have seen me. =DDDDD I kinda doubt I'll be visible tho. lol ANYWAY, I'm not going to describe most of the trip. But if you ever ride Space Mountain in the Magic Kingdom, SIT IN SEAT #4. It is zee best seat to be in. You experience the falls really well and you feel the speed that you feel in seat #1. I've also come to realize that the front row/seat on most roller coasters is overrated, because you don't feel the drops as well. :( It's a pity. But anyway, I lost my ticket receipt for 1030 tickets on the last day at Pop Century. I was really sad because of that. I'm beginning to think someone stole it from my pocket... Because it was visible. But anyhoo, we moved into a 2-Bedroom at Saratoga Springs (A hotel in Disney). Aw man, that was nice. Our bedroom (My sister's and mine) was pretty big, and there was a living room with a kitchen next to it. It was soooo nice. Anyway, I had fun there. I shall no longer bore you with it. But, unfortunately, the day we drove home (Sunday the 9th) was not a happy day for me. NOT because we were leaving, but because my iPod had been experiencing problems that day. It was pretty laggy in response, and when I was watching a video I had just added, the video kept freezing but the audio continued. And none of the games were able to be played. So when we got home, I plugged it into the computer. It told me a new version of software was available. I was pretty happy about that. So I told it to install, and once it finished, I got an error message from my computer. It said (I think) "This iPod could not be read. You must Restore it to its Factory Settings." For those of you that don't have an iPod, Restoring it to it's Factory Settings mean clicking Restore on my iPod, which deletes EVERYTHING from it. I thought "Ok, I'll just put everything back on." After I restored it, I plugged it back in and tried to put songs on it. It read copied them halfway, then stopped. 5 minutes later, it would say "The iPod 'Jimmy' could not be read from or written to." So my iPod is now dead. I'm going to send it to Apple to have it repaired once I receive the package to ship it in. I'm happy now though, because they'll either fix it, or send me a new one. =DDDDD Sending me a new one would be REALLY awesome. Either way I'll be happy though.
I also discovered an awesome music store in Downtown Disney, called Virgin Records. 2 floors of Books, Music, and Movies. =D I got 4 CDS:
Boys Like Girls - Boys Like Girls: $10
Toxicity - System of a Down: $8
The Beautiful Letdown - Switchfoot: $8
Never Take Friendship Personal - Anberlin: 13.49 (%10 discount for having an annual pass to disney) =D
Anyway, here's Music Monday.
1-Drones - Rise Against
The drones all slave away
They’re working overtime
They serve a faceless queen
They never question why
Disciples of a god
That neither lives nor breathes
(I won’t come back!)
But we have bills to pay,
Yeah we have mouths to feed!
(I won’t come back!)
I won’t come back!
2-Paperthin Hymn - Anberlin
I just want one more chance
To put my arms in fragile hands
I thought you said forever
Over and over
A sleepless night becomes bitter oblivion
These thoughts run through my head
Over and over
Complaints and violence become my only friends
3-Never Take Friendship Personal - Anberlin
Innocence gone
Never take friendship personal
If you can't hold yourself together
why should I hold you now?
In a sense gone,
Never take friendship personal
If you can't hold yourself together
why should I hold you now?
4-Deer Dance - System of a Down
Beyond the staples center you can see America
With its tired poor avenging disgrace
Peaceful loving youth against the brutality
Of plastic Existence.
5-Blood Red, White, and Blue - Rise Against
Lyrics Video (Sorry for the low volume, it was all I could find) Would God bless a murder of the innocents?
Would God bless a war based on pride?
Would God bless a money-hungry government? No.
Would God bless our ineffective court system?
God bless the sweatshops we run.
God bless America.
God bless America.
And I got my own email a while ago. It's pretty spiffeh, attackoftheidiots@gmail.com . :P
