Till the Angels sing…

Holy dude. It’s been like, 4 months, but felt like ages. And even so, that last post wasn’t really a post worthy post. Hehe. Wow. This feels so new, but I guess thats a good thing. Man, where to start. There’s so much for me to talk about, but where to start? I guess lets start with March Break.

Okay, March Break. The days leading to March Break, and the day it started, I thought I’d be super excited. But thanks to our awesome teachers, nah, not gonna be excited. Friday till Monday its been chill. Dad came home tomorrow, we missed him, and there’s some stress off my shoulders. I’ve got so much work to do; just finished french like half an hour ago, so I’ve got a math assignment, gotta read 12 chapters of english and write a reading log, and I’ve got a math test the day we get back. Jeez, have I been under a lot of stress.

Anyhow, the blog will officially be ressurected! I’ve got tons of idea’s for songs for the Lyrics of the Week segment, and possibly starting Album of The Week!

Man has this been a hell of a ride. 2009 so far is a bit too intense for my liking, but still pretty exciting.

For the first time in literally years, I actually vented! Thanks to Alex for being my vent-ee. It was good, and productive. Lots of crap is happening in our little crew circle. I don’t like it. But, we shall overcome. Oouu, Happy Belated Birthday shout out to the twins!

Oh man Kim and I are having a funny convo HI KIMMY!

Man, short post but I’m tired. I’ll write tomorrow people.

Danny.

Out Come the Wolves

Man has it been a while. And wordpress.com has a new layout too, wicked!
It’s cool blogging again, Kudo’s to Aivy who freakishly got me to visit my own blog today…after ages!

Btw Aivy, your pretty skilled

Hmm, so whats there to rant about today?
More like whats there not to rant about today.

Well I’m not gonna spend too much time making the reader’s feel hated, I’ll leave that till after exams are done.

Which reminds me…I always start getting back into blogging when something big comes up. Weird.

So Punk Rock. Jeez, that’s been my life for quite a while now. Lotsa research, lotsa reading. Whole bunch of documentaries ( punkumentaries ), and yes, I am actually reading a book too! ” My So-Called Punk” by Matt Diehl. 59 pages in, and its soo damn solid. If the book ended on Pg 60 I would be happy, but there’s hundreds of pages more!

Well, at this moment, Aivy and I know what to blog about next

Hmm, so yeah, just a little ” I’m still alive!” from me, going to get back into this soon.

Will definately start doing Lyrics of the Week again, and gotta write about The Crew.

Written 2 songs in the past 2 days! Now just lyrics.

Alright, time to leave.

Don’t let the wolves get you ( You’ll find out who the wolves our soon…unless you don’t know already. )

Standing Out more than ever,

Danny

Well this looks familiar…

Whoaahooooo.

What’s it been, like, three months!
Long time man, I haven’t written on this thing in ages!

To be honest, I have missed it a bit, but things have been keeping me busy!

Not that what I’ve been doing concerns anyone, ( or because I’m just too tired and lazy to write about it now ) but incase you’ve all been wondering, I have been doing good!

A lot of things have been happening recently.

Most notable things?

Most of the people in our crew are happy!
Michelle’s birthday is in 4 minutes.
I found out that Andrea writes on this cool roleplaying thingy.
Andria is going out with Blake.
Brent joined our band!
Kris got his first kit!

And other things, but you should know me better. I’m tired man.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MICHELLE!!

Have a great one, and I know your probably never gonna end up visiting/reading this blog

Man. Life’s pretty good.

To talk in Jay and I’s code language. ” I need ****** man. ” ” Don’t we all? ” ” Hey Hey Hey, she’s mine, you can have the other one! “

Hehehe, I love Jay, dunno what I’d do with my brother.

Kay I’m off now.

Later world, Peace out

Standing Out, more than ever

The Flight.

16 hours on an airplane seat. Sound like fun?

You have no idea

Toronto – Dubai flights on Emirates, I must say, are something to write home about.
Emirates is the leading airline in In Flight Entertainment, Comfort, you name it.

Even though as my mom points out, Emirates aswell as all other airlines have a huge gash in their side, and are bleeding out the Benjamins due to the insane gas prices. Yes, even Oil Producing companies are dying. Except Saudi Arabia, who as it stands are the only country in the whole wide world, who benefit from the rise in Gas Prices, and have a new multi-billion dollar investement coming up. Why you ask?

They refine the oil.

Anyways, sidetracked there as usual, back to why the flight was soo amazing.

 

First off, ICE.
ICE is Emirates’ In Flight entertainment system.
I – Information.
C – Communication.
E – Entertainment.

Ofcourse, I don’t really care about the I and C. It’s the E.

Literally, the skies the limit on this one. Every single new blockbuster movie that’s out at the Cinemas, is on that plane. Everything. Movies aside, there are tons of TV Shows. I did a full on attack on Friends and Scrubs.

Then, there’s music. Tons of Genre-Oriented radio stations, albums, and basically everything. Full Concerts too, Music Video’s…you get the point.

The movies I REMEMBER watching ( 16 Hour flight, it was ages ago, and I slept towards the end of the flight so I don’t remember too much ) were

1.27 Dresses
2. Dan in Real Life
3. St. Trinians
4. August Rush
5. The Other Boleyn Girl…or whatever it’s called. I fell asleep…very slow
6. Awake
7. A few others, can’t remember, plus TV Shows.

On their Essential Albums section, ofcourse, they had Radiohead.
OK Computer, probably the best album from them, definately the most renowned.

And, looking outside at the sunrise while listening to No Surprises, Lucky, and The Tourist…is just something else.

Watching the complete sunrise from my window seat was definately the highlight of my flight ( hey that rhymes! )

Words cannot describe how amazing it looked.

A picture tells a thousand words. Here’s a picture that I found that comes close to it.
Even so, this picture cannot describe how amazing it looked in its thousand word capacity.

The Sunrise...from a Plane's view

 

 Yeah it’s pretty crazy. Google Sunrise from a plane to see some more. There are some really amazing one’s…if your a fan of sunrises and sunsets like me that is

Here’s a pretty detailed run down of how it happens from 35,000 feet above ground, and over the clouds.

Of course everything is black at first…it’s night time. Then, you’d think the black completely goes and the sunrise seen on the pic starts. Thats what I thought too, but there’s actually a separation, and the black becomes more of a purple. It’s really cool. The top of course, is blue, and there’s a white-ish shade in the middle. Then slowly the sun comes out ( you can’t see the sun from the plane ) and orange-red rays of light slowly creep through the white and black area, as the blue is pushed upwards. It’s really crazy. Then after quite somwhile, you see the sun, and that’s the time where who ever took the picture…took the picture.

Now cream that Ice Cream sunrise with 3 amazing, relaxing songs by Radiohead, and you, myfriend, are officially in the “Out of This World” mood. I didn’t want the plane to stop, it was amazing. Check out these three songs if you can.
1) No Surprises
2) Lucky
3) The Tourist.

All by Radiohead.

That’s it for the flight, thanks for reading and please comment

Danny

Rewind!

Yeah, I think this video has been fast forwarded too much.

Hello all!

All..as in the people that read this blog. Yeah I know not very much

Wow it’s been awhile since I’ve posted…yes the blog lives!

I’ve been planning on writing a lot this summer, and I do have a lot to write about. Just haven’t felt up to it I guess. Big mistake as I can see, I just started writing this post and I can feel the urge to go on

Usually I write super massive long posts, which I guess get boring, and well, really long.

So to keep things interesting, I’ll be writing a post about each thing that I feel like writing about. For example…the flight.

So yeah, stay tuned for the unusual, as usual.

Danny

Done :)

Yeah I know.
School’s out for summer!

Exams are done, and it’s been a week since school’s been done too

My friends and I all did well ( hopefully ), and have passed out freshman year of H.S. ( hopefully ).

Jay and I have been outside a whole lot, and yeah life’s been back to it’s insane ways as before.

Insane good, because of the insane things we choose to do

A lot has happened in a week.

The Grade 8’s of St. Cecilia have graduated, and Jay and I went to their ceremony.

We were proud of all of them, especially the Twins and Michelle.

Those three haven’t changed a bit since we left them last year, and of course continue to own a share of our hearts

Kudos to them.

Man, recently Jay and I have been thinking of our St. Cecilia year/years a heck of a lot.

Just that one year I was there, Grade 8, made such a big impact on so many people’s lives, especially Jay and mines.

Anyways, more on that later.

This couple that I know have been on my mind. No it’s not Jay and his GF. Someone else. She’s like the sister I never had, and he’s your average wannabe teenager. No names being said.

I really hope things go okay, I don’t want her getting hurt. I won’t be here if anything does happen, so Jay will be there for her. Maybe Alex and Patrick will hop along.

So summer has just started, and I’m leaving on Wednesday. Thousands of miles away. Dubai.

I want to go, but I don’t at the same time.

I want to go cause it will give me some breathing space, time to focus on MYSELF ( yeah not gonna happen ) and work on myself too. Physically, and Guitar-lly

I don’t want to go cause, as mentioned before I won’t be here if something happens to *sister*, and I’m going to miss my friends soo much!

Jay, Alex, Brent, Patrick, Zaid, Anna, Kim, Andrea, Elaine, Michelle, Nikki, KD, Brat, Andria.

The list is endless really.

Going to miss you guys so so so so so much.

Punk party’s are going to be no more…although I highly advise you guys have them without me.

Well I’ll have my hilarious mother there, and my dad, and my music.

Speaking of music.

Radiohead again.

There are no words. Literally. I just can’t explain what they can do to you if you just let them.

A long while ago, I listened to two of Radiohead’s albums one after the other.

There are some songs that whenever I listen to, just have this effect.

There are more, I’m actually listening to one right now.

I shall compile the list, and post it here soon.

This seriously works for me all the time.

I/Your was/in a bad mood.

And these songs just play.

You don’t even have to listen to the lyrics, just close your eyes and let the song take over.

It just takes you to this other place.

Your literally in the middle of everything.

A war, a fight, people arguing, just everything.

But nothing happens to you…

Your just watching it.

Of course there are good things too.

It’s just amazing.

These songs are in a specific order.

At the beginning, they first just calm you down. Dreamy songs, that take you away from wherever you are.

Then it’s songs that just confuse you, but just let your brain have it’s way with it. Then it’s those come back songs, where you can get back from anything. Or it’s a song where it just sounds/feels like a fun atmosphere.

Seriously, after listening through the order, I don’t know but your bad mood is gone.

You feel happy.

Try it some time.

And of course there are songs where it’s just one of those comforting songs you can cry along to.

Knives Out – Radiohead.

I’m listening to it right now, it’s soo soothing.

And funny enough, it’s about Cannibalism, and a business man leaving his wife and kids.

Only Radiohead…only Radiohead

Well, I think I’m done for now. Planning on doing Lyrics of The Week tonight, and possibly starting a new segment.

Album of The Week!

The plan in my head looks pretty cool

Ta Ta for now, people.

Just Standing Out,

Danny

It’s that time of year again!

Hey back again!

Just had to state the obvious…it’s that time of year again!
Exams…* Boo’s *

Very hectic weekend. Been practicing my tenor sax for Monday’s 10 minute Music exam.

Then been doing Math Review for Wednesday…very frustrating.

Can’t wait till this week is over.

Can’t wait till Punk Party and movies hopefully.

Crazy stuff as usual…perfect to get my mind of the many things going on there.

There’s a party up there every waking moment…they’re pretty tired.

But yea, been doing pretty alright incase anyone was wondering/caring.

Yepp…

Oh yeah, check out Irish’s new blog at www.smileitstheendoftheworld.wordpress.com

It’s pretty stellar, she’s a good writer.

Kudos to Irish.

I’ve been doing a lot of research while procrastinating studying, and ignoring my thoughts. Yeah it gets pretty depressing

But guitars never fail!

Listening to Mr. Petrucci’s solo album: Suspended Animation.

Sooo soo amazing. Mind blowing stuff.

It’s all instrumental, guitar solo haven. If God made mini-God’s, Mr. Petrucci would definately be his first creation. The beast of a man really has Godly skills.

Tunnel Vision. Awesome song.

Ugh, it’s confusing.

I want to leave for Dubai to work out, guitar lessons, be with mom. It’ll get my mind off things.

But then I want to stay as well.

Man, Radiohead really have taken their toll on my head.

I need to do some Brain Dusting.

After exams tho, I should really be concentrating on exams.

But if you knew what goes on in my life/head you’d understand.

11:20 PM

Song: Wishful Thinking – John Petrucci.

It’s that balladesque song that most good albums have.

T’is very good.

Mood: Only a Radiohead song…

Well I best be on my way to Neverland. No not Mr. Jackson’s house of abuse, but the supposedly sleepy place we all go to.

Night all, Peace out.

Just Standing Out,

Mr. Insane

No It Isn’t – +44

Yeah I know. Haven’t written anything in AGES.
Blame it on my busy schedule, and my friends who I adore

Don’t have much energy left so I thought I’d do the Lyrics of The Week tonight.

This week has been…eventful to say the least. Good and bad I guess, but hey, all part of His master plan I guess. This song was buried deep in me somewhere, one of my all time favourites. My bro happened to be playing it on drums, and it was one of those light bulb moments.

I guess this song is relative to my mood, and this week. Very hectic and interesting, and I’m pretty sure next week will be around the same.

Yeah I’m in one of those Meh, Depressed, Blah moods…you could say that.

Here we go, amazing song written about the break up of blink-182. Relative to a lot really.

Please understand
This isn’t just goodbye
This is “I can’t stand you”
This is where the road crashed into the ocean
It rises all around me
And now we’re barely breathing
A thousand faces will choose to ignore

Curse my enemies for ever
Let’s slit our wrists and burn down something beautiful
This desperation leaves me overjoyed
With fading lights that lead us pass the lives that we destroyed

I listen to you cry
I cry for less attention
But both my hands are tied
And I’m pushed into the deep end
I listen to you talk, but talk is cheap
My mouth is filled with blood from trying not to speak
So search for an excuse, and someone to believe you
And for interesting moves I’m empty with the need to

Curse my enemies for ever
Let’s slit our wrists and burn down something beautiful
This desperation leaves me overjoyed
With fading lights that lead us pass the lives that we destroyed

Please understand, this isn’t just goodbye
This is “I can’t stand you”

Happy Mother’s Day!

Happy Mother’s Day to all mother’s on the Internet!
I’d like to wish a special someone on this day though…My Mother!

My mum is just too amazing, and in my eye’s, you can’t get a better mum. She’s cool…she even has an MSN ID! She’s extremely funny, and can always cheer anyone up when their feeling down. She’s very hep, and always knows whats new and cool not just for herself, but for my brother and I too.

My mum doesn’t live for herself, or for her own needs. She goes through each day, and her tough job with all the old hags she works with (:P) knowing that she’s not doing it for her own good, but for my brother and I. My mum lives for us. My mum is the definition of what a mother is, and what a mother does. She just has the perfect mix of everything a kid would want. She’s always there for everyone, and is one of the best listeners I know. She’s given me and countless others amazing advice, and won’t pass up the opportunity of making you laugh while talking to you.

My mum is my idol, and I always look up to my dad and her for inspiration, and all the other countless qualities they have. I don’t think I’ll ever be able to repay my mum for all she’s done, so I hope this is a start.

Happy Mother’s Day mum, you ROCK!

Lots of Love,
Your Kiddo.

God Save The Queen – The Sex Pistols

Ahhh.
The Sex Pistols. If you really listen to Punk Rock, these guys are known to you just like peanut butter knows bread. I don’t really like Peanut Butter tho…its kinda…disgusting. Anyways. I’m like a week off for the Lyrics of The Week, but still, here goes. Condsidered as Punk Rock’s National Anthem, this song is just..amazing. Will write about The Pistols very soon. Enjoy this one punks! \m/ -_- \m/

 

God save the queen her fascist regime
It made you a moron a potential h bomb !

God save the queen she aint no human being
There is no future in englands dreaming

Dont be told what you want dont be told what you need
Theres no future no future no future for you

God save the queen we mean it man (God save window leen)
We love our queen God saves (God save… human beings)

God save the queen cos tourists are money
And our figurehead is not what she seems
Oh God save history God save your mad parade
Oh lord God have mercy all crimes are paid

When theres no future how can there be sin
Were the flowers in the dustbin
Were the poison in your human machine
Were the future your future

God save the queen we mean it man
There is no future in englands dreaming

No future for you no future for me
No future no future for you
