the general specific

i'm almost proud of myself for being so faithful to this website, you guys gotta admit, this is real dedication, posting almost everyday? i've never done any such thing before, it's addicting though!

today, sandrine and i are planning on working on our new video! we promised we'd have a new one eventually, and we're living up to our promise. we aren't sure yet what the subject of the video is going to be, and we figured it might be better to have one this time, just so our video doesn't end up being called "i've got nothing to say part two". but you know, christmas is coming soon, so our video might be related to that! we're also planning a lovely trip to wal mart today (yes, we're losers), so maybe we can somehow put some of that in our video.

i changed the songs of the media player, just so you have some fresh new music to listen to while you read my blog! i'm sorry if i didn't before, i had totally forgotten about it. so, those songs are pretty much what i've been listening to lately.

i almost forgot. today. today. not in a year. not in a month. today. december the 16th. the all american rejects have a new cd coming out called "when the world comes down". i've been a big fan of them for so long, and this cd has to be their best one. i didn't know what to expect, and i was scared they'd change their style of music and make it all fake and techno like basically every other bands recently, but NO! the same old all american rejects that i enjoy listening to. like drug for my ears or my brain? whatever makes more sense. so make sure you go out today, and purchase their cd. support a great band! support music!

You should read Schopenhauer, the art of writing. i think youd love it! His critics are so interting. they are about authors who only write for money and how poor and useless is their books or issues. He is wayyyyy straight to the point, it scares me sometimes hahaha, but it is fun and even todays his words have some meaning. you should read it, its language is very simple, simple syntax in dispite of his century! It's a fun, relaxing, meaninful reading for those who like to write, read good books and especially those who like to think in their own ways! (if you read the book, you will understand this last sentence, ahah)


ok, bye (i totally escaped from the subject in your post, srry. but i really needed to recomend this book to you! and i think i will do a video responde for "ive got nothing to say", if i dont get too ashamed ok i stop here!)

Hey, if worst comes to worst, you could always make a cheesy "5 Random Facts" video!

Or you could be really annoying and immature and try the art of Ghosting. Do you guys do that in Canada, or is that still an Australian thing? :)

.. A warning though, if you try the ghosting, you may be arrested for harrassment..

I can't wait until you add the video.!
I think you should take a video going to walmart[:
That would really make my day.
thanks ;D

dianaleslie said...

i heard the AAR album. it's okay, it sounds a little too mainstream for my likings. their first album is still their best.
the Fall Out Boy album is AMAZING. you should check it out. especially 'What A Catch, Donnie'.

The Broken Melody said...

I had no clue that the All American Rejects had a new album. So THANK YOU. I must have it XD

And can't wait for the new video. The last one cheered me up so much.

Hey there Alex, been reading/checking up on your blog on regular status for a month or two now, and I actually dont appreciate blogs of any kind in general, but I got stuck on yours. Mostly cause I think you got alot of interesting things to say and have some fun sense of humor. Anyway just wanted you to know that I totally like your style and enjoy reading your blog. Keep up the good work mate!

I’m completely impressed that you’ve been keeping up with this blog. Most people are into it for about a week then forget about it. Thanks for keeping it updated! Its fun to have something to look forward to after classes. I’m enjoying the new songs, and I think I might go by the AAR album later. Can’t wait for the new video! Have fun at wal mart.

cela me manque énormément.
au revoir!

Chelny said...

@ glowingfirefly:
hahaha woww! toi tu me surveille de près. :) c'est maintenant que j'arrive à la maison. j'étais partie acheter des cadeaux de noel pendant toute la journée. je vais faire de mon mieux pour être l'une des première à commenter ses posts, mais je ne promet rien;)


@ Mr Evans:
I CAN'T WAIT FOR THE VIDEO!!! that's all i have to say;)

shannon.ao? said...

I get lost in Wal-Mart. T.T Oh well, it is probably the best place to cure boredom. Me and my sister ran around like ninjas the one we visited in Georgia. The best part is, the employees don't care if you screw around while looking for stuff. :)
I love All-American Rejects and was very disappointed when they "took a break" a few years back. I'm glad to hear this album is just as good as the previous ones!
Great job, and have a very very very Merry Christmas.

Hopeless Romantic said...

haha yay for wal-mart!
:]]
i love just going there, just because i feel like it. i always end up buying something while i'm there hahah.

whooo, more a.a.r.-liciousness!
i want to get it as soon as i can.

Gladys said...

AAR is pretty good, but I like the actual indie bands who don't have contracts with major record labels. Some just don't know what they're missing. For example, there's the Young Lords and Five Times August.

I need to check out that new album. I haven't listened to them in a while.

Brandy said...

Ooo I haven't heard the All American Rejects had a new CD! I'm a horrid fan sometimes but I adore them and will definitely be checking it out. Gah how some bands have completely changed their style lately really irks the shit out of me.

I can't wait for the new video! The last one was adorable. Psh, Wal-Mart is the cool place to be. Especially if it's a Super Wal-Mart ;)

If you want some new bands to check out, try 'The Life of Riley' and 'Enation'. They are both on myspace and are great. Enation has a bit of a religious undertone to it but the music is beautiful so I can overlook that.

Take care and have a great end of the week!

Love you! <3

HeyHuiyunn said...

Yup I totally agree with you
the All-American Rejects new album is the bomb!
All of the songs inside are amazing :D
I'm very happy to say that I love all the songs inside the album =)

jeanet93 said...

Wendy C. said...

AAR!!!! woooooooo hooooooo
ive been a big fan of them since like 2003? lol i was scared that they had changed too :p but then i herd "gives yoou hell" and i realized i had nothing to worry about(:

chloe said...

I love The All American Rejects! I've been listening to them since they were just a little unknown band. I should buy their new CD.

the song you put up, the beginning is sort of 80s pop-ish. I really enjoy that. 80s pop is completely underrated.

Manequin said...

Hey there....
I bought that CD yesterday without even knowing the All American Rejects... xD
Well I'm from Germany and so I've never heard of them before.
I expected a lot after reading you listen to them and well I SIMPLY LOVE THEM. I did't listen to anything else...!!
Thanx...!!
