Bleh. Taking a mental health day, I think. Woke up this morning feeling like warmed-over death but decided to head to uni anyway. Running a bit late, couldn't find a parking spot, didn't feel like waiting in the line for the parkade, decided to drive back home.



Fourth day of school and I already need a mental health day. Doesn't bode well. Might go back for Physiology this afternoon, or might stay in and watch Liverpool-Real Betis. Not much of a choice now, is it? :D



Tom & Ed, make my day and release a new song, or something. *hopeful*

I warned you about watching Laguna Beach: The Real O.C. You see now, it has eaten away at your brain!!!

I tried to look for the boxset last night to show my girlfriend.... :-//



I really should make an attempt to learn the piano agin, as we have two pianos in our house. Learned when I was young, but haven't played in about 15 years.

X-D

Well i decided to rent a piano for the first year and if i like it i'll buy it. It's a special offer from a well-know piano shop. Like this , in case i have to leave this house , i'm not stuck with a piano. Only problem is , as they need to know if i can afford them piano after a year ,they will need to check my paycheque's and stuff , like when you get a loan for a house , but i'm freelance so that might be a problem ..but i'll get a piano }:-) Finally !!

Excellent, you'll have to record a piano instrumental for the next forum disc.

Btw , why does that new Gwen Stefani song sucks so much ? I still like her , she's got a cool own style , but she's got to change this awfull japanese pop-music inspired songs man 8O

Which song? I hate 'Hollaback Girl' if that's the one you're referring to. If there's a new one, I fear for the youth of the world.....



Actually, I liked 'What You Waiting For' and 'Rich Girl', as far as Top 40 pop goes, but can't stand the Neptunes production these days and 'Hollaback Girl' just sucks.

Now the one "cool" or something

Hollaback girl has good memories for me so i dont mind it...but rich girl is so bad 8O ow and the jacques lu cont rmx of what you waiting for is AWESOME.

Oh, yeah, forgot about 'Cool'.



Most Jacques lu Cont mixes are good, no matter where he gets the remix material from.

Well, it's off to school before I can't find a parking spot and have to come home again....



Ta ta.....

What does hollaback girl mean anyway?

her ass looks good in that video.

What does hollaback girl mean anyway?

I actually read a great analysis of that song, which I will reprint here:



Gwen Stefani?s ?Hollaback Girl? is one of the most baffling pieces of music of the modern age. It?s got something to do with cheerleaders?that much is clear, judging from the chanting and the marching band that?s honking and tooting in the background. Beyond that, good luck deciphering the song?s ambiguities. We were so vexed by the mystery that is ?Hollaback Girl? that we have devoted countless hours to its study. Our conclusions are below. The first thing you should know, though, is that Gwen is not singing ?I ain?t no Harlem fat girl??at least, we don?t think she is.



Uh huh, this my shit

Gwen is introducing us to her shit.



All the girls stomp your feet like this

This talk of shit and stomping has nothing to do with actually stepping on feces. But what does it mean? From a reading of the later text, we can conclude that the song takes place in the world of high school athletics, and that Gwen is apparently leading the girls in a calisthenics exercise. The ?shit,? we surmise, is what she calls the exercises she?s teaching the other girls.



A few times I?ve been around that track

So it?s not just gonna happen like that

Here, Gwen exhorts the girls to try harder as they jog around the track, reminding them that physical fitness is ?not just gonna happen,? but must be worked at.



Cause I ain?t no hollaback girl

I ain?t no hollaback girl

These lines are the most confusing, but their meaning will become clearer later.



Oooh, this my shit, this my shit

Gwen repeats this four more times. She wants to make sure that we are well acquainted with her shit.



I heard that you were talking shit

And you didn?t think that I would hear it

Gwen has been the victim of some slanderous high school gossip, and she doesn?t appreciate it. Gwen is 35 years old sliding into MILF status at this point, but we?ll grant her some poetic license.



People hear you talking like that, getting everybody fired up

So I?m ready to attack, gonna lead the pack

Gwen is going to round up a ?posse? of her girlfriends and retaliate against the person who?s been talking ?smack? about her.



Gonna get a touchdown, gonna take you out

Gwen is going to beat up the person who wronged her, after she completes the cheerleading routine that will inspire the football team to score a touchdown. Gwen has interesting priorities.



That?s right, put your pom-poms down, getting everybody fired up

It seems the entire cheerleading squad is going to beat up the person who spoke ill of Gwen; they have put down their pom-poms, and they are now ?fired up? to exact swift and terrible vengeance on Gwen?s behalf.



A few times I?ve been around that track

So it?s not just gonna happen like that

Cause I ain?t no hollaback girl

I ain?t no hollaback girl

Gwen is apparently the captain of the cheerleader squad; she is the girl who ?hollas? the chants, not one of the girls who simply ?hollas? them back. Given that the squad is preparing to beat somebody up on Gwen?s behalf, she?s picked a strange time to remind them that she is their leader and they are her sheep-like followers. Gwen obviously rules her squad with an iron fist.



Oooh, this my shit, this my shit [repeated four times]

Again with the shit.



So that?s right dude, meet me at the bleachers

No principals, no student-teachers

Both of us want to be the winner, but there can only be one

So I?m gonna fight, gonna give it my all

We learn that it was a ?dude? who gossiped about Gwen. She challenges him to a fight at the bleachers. If he imagines it will be a fair, one-on-one fight, he is sadly mistaken. Gwen and her aforementioned ?pack? will pounce on him like rabid wolves.



Gonna make you fall, gonna sock it to you

That?s right, I?m the last one standing, another one bites the dust

Gwen?s pack of furious cheerleaders leaves the boy a quivering, bloody heap behind the bleachers for the groundskeeper to discover the next day.



A few times I?ve been around that track

So it?s not just gonna happen like that

Cause I ain?t no hollaback girl

I ain?t no hollaback girl

Having completed their ghastly work, Gwen?s squad members return to the field and resume their cheerleading activities, as Gwen reminds them once more that she is the boss and they are all her bitches.



Oooh, this my shit, this my shit [repeated four times]

By calling her exercise routines ?shit,? Gwen is showing us that for all her bravado, the character in this song secretly suffers from profound self-esteem issues. She is a complex antiheroine for an age of changing gender attitudes and expectations.



Let me hear you say, this shit is bananas

B-A-N-A-N-A-S

Here, Gwen steps away from this bloody spectacle for a moment to comment on the madness and ugliness of what we?ve just witnessed, and, by extension, the petty rivalries of high school in general. This shit is bananas, Gwen tells us, and we can only agree. And lest we miss the point, she spells it out. And repeats it another three times.



A few times I?ve been around that track

So it?s not just gonna happen like that

Cause I ain?t no hollaback girl

I ain?t no hollaback girl

Back on the field, Gwen is still bullying the squad to carry out her routines. But now we see her in a new light, as the sad, lost creature she truly is.



Oooh, this my shit, this my shit [repeated four times]

As the song fades out, Gwen is left only with her ?shit,? the mindless exercises that bring her no comfort from the raging emptiness within. As much as she ?hollas,? no one hears her cries for help.

X-D

that was fucking funny

So far school's going well. I have no idea what's going on in any of my classes, but I've befriended a coke dealer and a counterfeiter.



If you don't hear from me for a while, I'm probably in prison. :D

X-D X-D X-D



I'm kinda bored actually. Dunno where my friends are , my best friend moved to spain , my other best friend/ex boyfriend is chillin at his new girlfriends house , and i'm all alone in my house. I feel kinda sad really :?

I hate that feeling. Lonely boredom is truly hell on earth. The solution for times like this is alcohol, because we all know alcohol solves most problems, incl. the ones it creates. Or this forum, which is in its own way, a worse addiction than booze.



I've got to go to work in an hour or so, but we're throwing a big Mexican independence day party tonight, so hopefully that'll redeem the day. Mmmmm..... Quesadillas and beer.... :D



Finally got a (proper) hair cut today, for the first time since April. The hair that saw Tom & Ed at Coachella is no more. X-D
