After 350 entries, 1,525 comments posted and 1,084 recieved I've decided to give up on this journal. I need to move onto something new and better in the realm of online journaling. On top of that I've gone by the moniker "Flipbook" for too long. I can't stand to look at it anymore. The story behind that name is extremely stupid and I don't claim it as my own anymore. If you still want to read what I have to say, ask and I will tell. Current Music: Simon & Garfunkel - The Only Living Boy In New York |

( Read more... )The show was really good last night. We showed up a little late, but it was all good. I walked in right as Jay and Fletcher were playing, and it was good. Jay was really funny as well. I liked most of the other bands as well, barring the Few, they need to get a new singer. It was a good night, no plates were thrown.

As the days have passed by me, in what seems like hours, I have come to the firm conclusion I want to be a writer. Maybe it is from the immense inspiration I have had in regards to my poetry. In a span of five days I have written more then a dozen poems, most are drivel, but the important thing is my mind is working creatively again. This wave of motivation may be from working on the show; getting back up on stage has gotten my "juices flowing" as they say. I'm not entirely sure who "they are" but that is what they say. But as I reach into my thoughts to attempt to retrieve the source of my creative outburst, I continually come to one final conclusion. John Rose. When I think of how he told me I could be a writer, I was honestly shocked. I can't remember a time when someone has given me such a compliment in my life. I can count the number of times my father has told me that he is proud of me on one hand, and I can never remember anyone expressing to me such praise. I am going to do it. I don't know how, and I don't really care. I want to write for a living. And that is what I am going to do. |

Two random things that make me rather happy. 1. In one of my friend's classes today, his professor used my car as an example of self expression. B. My Developmental Writing professor told me that I could be writer. That makes me happy, along with coming home in a couple of weeks. Current Mood:  aggravatedCurrent Music: Redundant Teacher |

Survey and a quiz ( Read more... )I was also going to another survey about interests. But as I kept generating the page, I realized that the interests on my list were not accurate anymore. Things that I don't want to do anymore. Things that I don't like anymore. And if I was still into the interest in question, I didn't like that I still had it listed. So needless to say I have gone from 150 interests to under 50. And that makes me happy. Current Mood: pensiveCurrent Music: Devil Makes Three - For My Family |

The Merits of Rap/Hip Hop
"I met a critic I made her shit her draws She said she tought Hip Hop was only guns and alcohol I said "Oh hell naw!" but yet it's that too You can't discrimahate because you done read a book or 2" Outkast - Humble Mumble As I read every application for this community, the attitudes of the members really gets to me. Specfically in reagards to Rap and Hip Hop. I am huge fan of Rap and Hip Hop, and seems that a good portion of this community is willing to look past Top 40 radio to find good Punk, Metal, Soul, Nu-Metal, and other Rock based forms of music. But when it comes to listening to Rap and Hip Hop, all they can get is that Rap is full of idiots who only care about Guns, Bitches and 40s. This disapoints me to no end. The opening stanza of this entry is from Outkast, as you very well can see, I feel this line descripes Hip Hop to a tee. Yes, there is a certain aspect to the music that is about Guns, Bitches and 40s, but there is so much more then that. Take a look at this lines if you will. ( Lyrics )50 Cent, Eminem, Jay Z and all the others out there on Top 40 radio, making money talking about bitches and 40s, do not repesent Hip Hop at all. I recomend these artists. Mos Def Run-DMC Grandmaster Flash and The Furious Five Public Enmey Common Talib Kewli Arrested Delvopment And if you are interested at all in seeing where the Bitches and Hoe's thing comes from, I highly recommend N.W.A and Ice T.

So I guess since I have a realiable, constant access to internet, I might as well actually update. I am currently attending school in southeastern Vermont. I am attending Landmark CollegeThe school is the only school of it's kind in the world, it is a two year school solely for students with learning disablities. I am one of 420 students, all of us with learning disabities. Imagine that if you will, 420 AD/HD kids, all one campus. Scary isn't it? My schedule is full of all none credit course, but that's ok. I am taking a 20th Century History Course, which is really cool. A course on the writing and giving of speeches. An Intro to Reading and Study Skills which I hate. My last class (which is really my second of the day, but who really cares) is insane. On my first day with this class, I walk into the room and on the board there is a message that says "Meet me by the tennis courts, by the light gray van in five minutes" Our professor, John Rose, who looks like Hugh Jackman circa X-Men, is standing there and he recites what is written on the board. Now the only way I can describe this man's speaking voice, for those of you who will understand what this means, is that Marcus looks worse then Ben when compared to this man. As we all walk to the van he tells us to get in. We all get in and he proceeds to drive us to Basketville, a store in Putney (the town where my school is). He asks for four volunteers, and they get out of the van, he hands them each a piece of paper and gives them a little schpeal. He then drives us to the Putney General Store, where I get out. Standing outside of the store, he gives us the same piece of paper and tells us to enter the store, as discretly as possible, pick someone out, and follow them. We are to answer the questions on the piece of paper. He also tells that if we get caught and are in trouble he will take the blame. The past two days have been spent watching The Atomic CafeHow fucking cool is that? Screw dealing with the syllabus, screw going over the structure and purpose the class. He's creative. I think I'm the only one in the whole class who got any of it. Putney's pretty cool. We're two hours away from Burlington and Boston. We're four hours for New York City and pretty damn close to Marlboro. Simon's Rock isn't too far either, but I don't know how far. Before I leave, I will you give these words of wisdom.

Top Five Records Of All Time. The albums on this list have to fit three criteria. A) The album on a whole, does it flow well. If it is a choppy album, is it intentinally choppy. B) Indvidual songs, can all of the songs stand on their own. If I were to skip to a random track, would I be satisfied. C) Finally, is it a good ablum for both straight up listening to and also as background music. Can I through the record on at a party or discussion and not have it be overpowering. In my most humble opinion, these five albums meet my criteria. In No Particular Order: 1) Ryan Adams - Heartbreaker2) Dropkick Murpheys - Do Or Die3) Metallica - ...And Justice for All4) The Doors - Strange Days5) Weezer - Pinkerton Current Mood: pensiveCurrent Music: Ryan Adams - Sweet Carolina |

The Keys to Your Heart
|
You are attracted to those who are unbridled, untrammeled, and free. |
In love, you feel the most alive when everything is uncertain, one moment heaven... the next moment hell. |
You'd like to your lover to think you are optimistic and happy. |
You would be forced to break up with someone who was emotional, moody, and difficult to please. |
Your ideal relationship is lasting. You want a relationship that looks to the future... one you can grow with. |
Your risk of cheating is zero. You care about society and morality. You would never break a commitment. |
You think of marriage pessimistically. You don't think happy marriages exist anymore. |
In this moment, you think of love as commitment. Love only works when both people are totally devoted. |

To whom it may concern. For the past few days I have been in a weird mood. I haven't wanted to leave the house except for errands and work. And now I am out to use the internet. I've been sick and I'm not avoiding anyone in particular, just avoiding people because I have been having a social overload. Please pardon my neurotic behavior. And now some personal notes: Aimee, call me, I want to talk to you. Dan, we should talk. Let me know when's a good time for you. Rosie, I don't know if you read this, but let me know when you are back in town, I would like to talk some stuff over. That's about it.

One of my many, many pet peeves
Cryptic Away Messages. What the fuck? Now before I go into this let me clarify; Yes, I have used Cryptic Away Messages before. No, I do not use them anymore. Now that I have stated how hypocritcal this may sound, do not rub it in my face. Thank you and now I will proceed with my bitching. Why? Why do people put these Cryptic Away Messages (CAM)? What purpose does it serve to right down the lyrics to song, or put some funny quoute? Now the expception is when the lyrics or quote are followed by a describtion as to where you are or if the lyrics tell where you are: Examples: "I like my cigar, but I take it out every now and again" Over at Dawson's Be back Later or "Young man, there's a place you can go. I said, young man, when you're short on your dough. You can stay there, and I'm sure you will find Many ways to have a good time. It's fun to stay at the y-m-c-a. It's fun to stay at the y-m-c-a." Both of those tell where you are. Yes with the second one you have tho think about it just a little a bit. But will that honestly hurt anyone. I don't understand the point in using things like this: "Said you didn't love me, it was right on time, I was just about to tell you but ok alright Said you didn't love me, didn't want a thing, English girls can be so mean" As away messages. It doesn't tell me where you are, how long you will be gone and if it is worth it for me to sit around a while and wait. I check away messages so I know where people are, and I can only assume that other people do it for the same reasons. So why do you insist on putting up these CAMs. Is it meant to be funny? Because it isn't, it's annoying. Like using the sound of a chicken clucking as the ring for your cell phone. The first few times it's entertaing and amusing, but after a while you just want to break the damn thing. End Rant Current Mood: blah |

Credit is to due jackconstantine The Orginal Post Can be Found HereAn Announcement! To whom it may concern: Back in the day, I had a blog over at Open Diary. I eventually switched to LJ because LJ has a much richer feature set, but every so now and then there are little things I miss from OD. The biggest thing though (and the point of this entry) is that at OD, you could leave blank comments. Not only could you, but people did with a high frequency - a blank comment had come to symbolize that someone had read the entry, and wanted it to be known that they had read the entry, but had nothing of any particular relevance to say. I'm mentioning all this because I ran into a situation last night where I wanted to leave a blank comment, and yet again lamented LJs shortcomings in that particular department. I realized, however, that I could leave a comment with just a . in it, and LJ would let that slide (I've tried with just about every other non-alphanumeric character, and it tends not to like those so much, or I feel like it doesn't provide the same feel as a blank comment). So I'm hereby making an announcement: A comment containing only a . henceforth is meant to represent that I have read your entry, and all that entails, and have nothing I feel is appropriate to say, but I wanted to let you know I had read the entry. Thank you. Current Mood: hungryCurrent Music: None |
