The Sleeping Eye

Iron Age's new record is already an album of the year candidate and the track listing isn't even out yet. First think that came to my mind when listening to this was "UR MOSHIN'". Crossover thrash/hardcore is so fun. Until I hear the rest of Jeniferever's "Spring Tides" and Reign Supreme's "Testing the Limits of Infinite" (which is pretty crushing), The Sleeping Eye is in the front running.

The influx of great new hardcore albums and bands makes me even more excited for The Sound and Fury '09. Also, from what I've read, United Blood '09 was fucking amazing. The pipe break/flood during Pulling Teeth (new album shreds), the beat down of the bro and his car, and the crazy pizza guy, it surely was a weekend to remember. Hopefully the same experience can be had during S&F. The lineup is already worth the price and only half of the bands have been announced. July is just too far away.

Oh, and thanks for the tip off Danny haha

OMFG

YES. My most anticipated movie ever? Waiting for so fucking long for this to come out. Carol totally looks like Haround from Rzl Dzl ahah.

Wasted Youth

Fucking B9boards, probably the funniest things I've seen all week. Rather listen to covers like this than some schmuck with an acoustic guitar playing "I'm Yours" in hopes to be some sort of fucking Youtube celebrity.

Motherfuckin' Kogi

Tonight, Oli, Joe, Jack and I hit up the Kogi in Santa Monica. We were the second group there, as 1 guy was waiting in the lot already. Anthony and Jennifer also met us up there. As time went, the masses started to arrive and Oli was proclaiming his spot as first. During the wait we met this guy who was pretty chill. He actually became part of our group in line ahah. He was over at the Alibi room on Washington, but was too packed and decided to come here. The people around there were so cool. Random convos here and there.

Anyways, the truck arrived around 10:30ish, as we all stalked it's every move. We were greeted kindly and enthusiastically which was a plus. What made this even better was that I was the first one to order! No fucking 1hr+ wait for us! The guy who actually arrived before us was last in line because he fell asleep in his car. He probably didn't get any, which fucking blows. Basically, a short summary would be that the tacos were amazing! I'm not going to go too much into detail as I already did in my Yelp! review. Who knew such a combo like this would be great.

To finish off the night, we head off to 7-11 since the drinks were fucking expensive, and as we pulled in we knew this area was shady. Low lifes, stoners, guys who we assumed were dealers, and transients all were present. When we walked out, these guys were arguing about cigarettes, when one of them says the greatest line ever invented as he walked off angrily

Guy: Do you know Chata? WELL THEN CHATA FUCK UP!

A fucking classic. One that will go down in my history book. An amazing line to top off a great night.

With Farts on Fire

Would've blogged about this earlier, but I had HW and shit.

Yesterday of course was Thy's party at Oli's. Got there at around 9ish with Lyle after watching UFC 96. It was us and a bunch LQ people at first, but then the dudes finally showed up. Quite a surprise seeing Manny and Johnny there. A lot of faces I haven't seen in a while, including Don and Steve. As our group slowly started to appear at the party, we felt more comfortable. Even Thomas and Anthony showed up as well. Mike and Danny still weren't here yet, in which they missed both Manny and Johnny.

Meanwhile, I finally broke the streak. 1 day after my 8 month anniversary, I took a shot of what I think was Captain Morgan's. I only had a total of 5 shots, but I could feel a slight buzz. My tolerance has gone wayyy down. Meat, Jlam, Steve, Keane and Don were all pretty buzzed or drunk. Mike and Danny got there a little too late and did not have anything to drink. Danny didn't want to anyways, since he was DA DA. One other note is that Christopher Nguyen from Northcutt made an appearance. Haven't seen that guy in a LONG time.

It was maybe around 12ish that the party was called off because it was supposedly going to get raided. Everyone pretty much bailed and went to Steven Lee's or Keane's house. Buzzed, Lyle took my car with me, Tim and Thy riding along. Got some sober up food at JITB, fucking 16 tacos. Thy is officially the first person to throw up in my car.

We got there at Keane's, where Don was yakking, and then all the other guys arrived at well. Talk about random crap, while Meat, Steve and Don were all out of it. Probably the greatest moment of the night then occurred when I took my lighter and farted on it. A massive flame erupted, causing my pants to almost set fire and the lulz to ensue. Never seen anybody else laugh so hard. I did it again, but the flame was much smaller, and after that we all headed off.

I took Thy back to her car along with Tim and Lyle who drove her car. They dropped her off and then picked them up and drove them home. Pretty much a fucking hilarious night.

"What the fuck, it's name is Clefairy" No dick, it's Wigglytuff.

Watched the Watchmen at 3:30 am this morning. I picked up Meat and Oli and headed out to the Spectrum at around 11:30ish. Met up with Mike who there with Vinh since 8. Lyle even stopped by for a visit too. We were almost in front of the line. Maybe like a good 10-15 people in front of us. The people around us were really cool, except for this typical, obnoxious fat super geek. Some gangster dude who stole posters and drank Sparks was fucking funny. God I love nerds. Anyways, we all had something to do to kill time. Mike and Vinh watched the Office on his Macbook, Oli was playing games on his Iphone, and Meat and I were training our Pokemon respectively.

We finally got in the theater around 2ish, and then in the actual IMAX room at around 3. During that time span, Meat and I failed as guardians of the sacred gold water fountain, which was defiled by the geek posted above. As we finally got in, we found seats easily in this behemoth of a theater. Everyone was waiting for the damn music to shut off so the movie would finally start. As when it finally did, we were disappointed that only one trailer was shown, which was for Harry Potter. Fast-forwarding, The movie itself was really good. Loved pretty much most of the characters. Rorschach was a fucking badass as predicted and Ozymandias was so douchey, it made him not douchey. Surprisingly, Ozy was Meat's favorite character, but that did not stop him from criticizing his name. "All of them had fucking cool names, but Ozymandias? What the fuck shit was that". Haha anyways, you gotta love Dr. Manhattan's nuclear blue penis of death and Nite Owl banging the crap outta the Silk Spectre. Also, at first I thought the Comedian was a prick, but as the story went on, he became more badass.

The movie finished at around 6 and when we exited the theatre, it was somewhat sunny. Haha shit, as I dropped off Oli and Meat, we saw kids walking to school. I got home and KTFO, and woke up at 2:30. I'm still dead and probably won't do anything else today.

Edward Blake: God damn I love working on American soil, Dan. Ain't had this much fun since Woodward and Bernstein. Congress is pushing through some new bill that's gonna outlaw masks. Our days are numbered. Till then it's like you always say, we're society's only protection.
Dan Dreiberg: From what?
Edward Blake: You kidding me? From themselves.

It's a fresh Spring, so let's sing

Ditched Health today for a Nerd day with the dudes. Waited on Danny to come over then we took off to pick up Mike then Oli and Meat at OCC. Their campus kicks GWC's ass. I think the parking lot is bigger than our school in general. We headed off to the Spectrum to pick up our Watchmen tickets. 3:30am showing in IMAX, fffffffffuuuuuu. It should be worth it though. Wandered a bit and ate, then headed back to the car. Meat was free styling, albeit very badly, but yet fucking hilarious.

Went over to Tustin to pick up some comics. Fuggin Meat did not know the Flash was even a comic book. SMH. Mike finished his Thor series, Danny couldn't buy his Starship Troopers since he was broke and Meat bought a Superman shirt and my comic since he owes me. $96 left on his tab. That was pretty much the end of the day. We were supposed to head off to the Block but I got tired and had to do some HW for my online math class.

So Winter is coming to a close sadly and Spring is approaching. This song is perfect for the upcoming weather. So amazing how they gathered all their friends in a tiny apartment to sing along and drink beer.

Win.
