[What's this?] In the middle

OK...to me this is quite a sensitive topic to talk about and I think most people would find that as well.

Closed and open minded-ness....

Where should I start! Let's just say I REALLY HATE IT when someone calls me "closed-minded" and not just that, it's worst coming from a close friend. I find it in a way very disrespectful and it shows/tells me that my friend(s) don't accept me for who I am, or what I think and believe in. Isn't that just wrong! Friend(s) are not supposed to be like this. The thing is also I feel that some people misuse this word....a lot!!!! They misuse it because the reason(s) why they'd call someone "Closed-minded" are just simple and stupid (especially the reasons that I get called that "word" for) and don't deserve such a big/harsh word.

Now here's the crazy thing. Some time after being called "closed-minded" or sometimes in the same day some other friend comes and says to me "You're so far away from your culture now...and you've lived in NZ for too long that you've become westernized..."...and this was all said because I decided to learn the guitar, which somewhat gave me an idea that I'm "too open-minded". Is that even a good enough reason to say ALL that stuff...."westernized"? I remember asking that friend...what's the difference between playing a 3ood and a guitar? Aren't they the same family and it's music?! I got "The 3ood is part of our culture" as an answer............

So where does this put me between my friends? It's like I'm stuck in the middle. The too too "open-minded" friend(s) want me to become like them....and at the same time I have those other friends (I don't want to call them close-minded but sometimes...) that think playing a guitar is "westernization" and the feeling that I got -- "open-minded" want me to become like them. This is what I feel...like I'm not accepted by either side =S

Bottom line is...I am who I am and there's no way in hell I'm changing over stupid reasons like the one's above and the ones I didn't mention (here's my stubborn side for yah =P).

That's all!

=D

[Music] So Cold - thesir85

This is the cover of a song called "So Cold" by Breaking Benjamin (awesome band).
The vocal is great (different), guitar work is awesome, and the drumming...will let the drumming speak for itself xD
Thumbs up to those 2 =D



They totally made this their own B-)

mini update:

:: I'm being a super lazy person lately -_______-

:: My foot is still being a "freak on a leash"...meaning it hasn't healed -_____-

:: Learning to play "R-Evolve" on the guitar...and totally perfected "Never too late" *victory dance*

:: Work is going great...Inshallah it will be on-going even while I'm at uni. I'm going to be making 2 other website for my boss.

:: Uni starts next week Monday (2nd March)....*shivers* I'm so nervous about it and I kinda don't want to start studying xD But it's the last year (4th year of my degree) so YAY to that!!! *cries* Hope it will be a great year!

:: I have to sort out a really really important....let me call it "issue", before uni starts. So hopefully it goes well ^_^

:: Ok this might come as a shock but I've just started listening to "The Scorpions" (a good friend just recently told me about them), and what can I say this band, I like them a lot. Their music is great (WHAAAAT O.O at the guitar work <3)! Their lyrics and vocals are great and nice!

[Music] 30 Seconds to Marts - R-Evolve

My play list consists of 2 songs right now xD R-Evolve and Wicked Game....on-repeat!
I've always liked 30 Seconds to Mars but I'm not a hardcore follower like how I am with Three Days Grace. But these guys are not bad at all!

Let the song speak for its self....



I like the verses more than the chorus...but still good I like it A LOT!
This song reminds me of "Hello" by Lionel Richie....<3

[Music] Adam Gontier - Wicked Game

Wow...I can't even stop listening to this song.
When I'm not listening to it I'm thinking about it...YES! It's THAT good.
I don't even know who sings this song originally...but what I can say is Adam Gontier totally ruled this song! <3



The world was on fire and no one could save me but you.
It's strange what desire will make foolish people do.
I never dreamed that I'd meet somebody like you.
And I never dreamed that I knew somebody like you.

No, I want to fall in love.
No, I don't want to fall in love.
With you.

What a wicked game to play, to make me feel this way.
What a wicked thing to do, to make me dream of you.
What a wicked thing to say, you never felt this way.
What a wicked thing to do, to make me dream of you.

No, I don't want to fall in love.
No, I don't want to fall in love.
No, I don't want to fall in love.
No, I don't want to fall in love.
With you.

The world was on fire and no one could save me but you.
It's strange what desire will make foolish people do.

No, I don't want to fall in love
No, I don't want to fall in love
No, I don't want to fall in love
No, I don't want to fall in love
With you.

[Movie] The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (2006)

Synopsis

The year is 1969. On one last fling before leaving to serve in the Vietnam War, two brothers, Dean (Handley) and Eric (Bomer), embark on a road trip across Texas with their girlfriends, Chrissie (Brewster) and Bailey (Baird). After their jeep crashes on a deserted highway, the sadistic Sheriff Hoyt (Ermey) mysteriously arrives on the scene. Chrissie hides in the nearby brush as she helplessly watches the sheriff abduct her three friends. Taking them to his secluded house of horrors, Hoyt introduces his new captives to the deranged Hewitt family and their gruesome son, Thomas/Leatherface (Andrew Bryniarski), who has a ravenous appetite for chainsaws and torture. Chrissie becomes an eyewitness to the gory carnage inflicted by Leatherface upon her friends and quickly realizes that she is their only hope of survival.

Directed by: Jonathan Liebesmen
Starring: Jordana Brewster, R. Lee Ermey, Taylor Handley, Diora Baird and Matthew Bomer

G-chan's thoughts:

Witness the birth of fear my...e7m e7m...it's more like "witness the birth of GORE!" xD

I watched this movie today and I hated it big time! It freaked me out in a disgusting way (not scary way) and this movie is by far the most movie I've ever gagged (LITERALLY!) in to the point that I started tearing and turning tomato red. I even looked away in a few scene's. So, if you want to get freaked out in a really disgusting way then watch this movie....but don't say I didn't warn you =P

You know "they" should have a new genre/category in/for movies. They should call it GORE instead of just including it with horror!! pffft >.>

Crippled

So...I'm temporarily (hopefully =S) crippled. I have no idea how this happened...but I wish it had happened because I did something cool or dangerous.

My right ankle is badly twisted (don't know how?!?!) that it hurts when I walk, and it hurts while I'm sitting even.

So yesterday morning, I woke up with this massive pain in my right ankle to the point that I couldn't walk properly. During the day the pain eased thankfully. Though when night came this little bruise + bump + pain seemed to develop in/on my right foot! Yes now it's become the whole foot. I managed to sleep normally that night but when I woke up today morning, it had become WORSE. It is very swollen and painful. I couldn't walk much and I had to cancel going to the little picnic that a group of my friends arranged for tomorrow =( My right foot is all bandaged and 7ala...bleeeeh!

This is so weird because I have no idea where this....thing came from or HOW it happened =S *confused* But I know one thing for sure...it sucks big time =S

---------------

I'm really loving playing "Three Days Grace - Never too late" on my guitar. It requires a bit of finger work...so I'm finding it a fun challenge =D

Babies...do they dream?

So today morning, my mother and I went to visit a family to congratulate them on the new born baby girl...aaaaaw! She is so cute, and very tiny! Only a week old. I really really love kids...especially the ages 0-3 years. They're so cute and sweet.

The poor girl was so sleepy, so at one time I just took her, held her in my arms and kind-of rocked her softly to help her sleep while the "older" woman talked at the food table. Seriously, there was something wrong with her =( I just felt that she wasn't feeling good. She'd fall asleep, then wake up from some pain or something. After 10 minutes of holding her and walking around slowly/softly I hear and felt the loudest/biggest FART I've ever heard coming from a BABY at this REALLY small age and size. It went for 5 seconds at least. I just froze on the spot and kind of freaked out for a bit thinking that "something" might've came out and is sitting/smudging on my favorite black sweater xD Thankfully...I think she just had gases....very bad gases. After that little...actually BIG "let out" xD I put her in position that could be comfortable for her...and she slept =)

I just sat there, moving my legs from side to side in a soft/slow way to help her with the sleeping...stared at her and started thinking; "What is she dreaming about?"

Then I started thinking about other related things like:

"Do babies even dream? If they do, what do/could they dream about exactly? Can they have nightmares? Do they even fear "anything" since they don't know what is bad for them or what is scary?"...List goes on. I just sat there looking at her, moving her hands, eyebrows, eyes under eyelids, etc, thinking "What is she seeing right now in her sleep?"....interesting right?

So I decided to do a little research about the whole thing and no body seems to know or explain anything about it. It's all "Unknown". They just assume that babies do dream....

Then I saw her hands, and compared them with mine...
My hands are so giant like xD

Lol! Cute right! <3

A letter....xD

"You have received the enclosed Infringement Notice because you either own, were driving, or were lawfully entitled to a vehicle photographed by approved vehicle surveillance equipment. This notice gives the details of the alleged offense, the infringement fee and methods of payment."

---------------

So we received this letter from the police saying all that stuff that I wrote up ^ there. You're probably are thinking that I'm the one speeding..........a big fat NO! I don't get caught....that's my secret ;-) It was actually my Mother xD She was absolutely shocked...hehehe. Mama is like a law freak...sticking to the road rules, etc etc, and for this to happen to her just shocked her xD I can't help myself but laugh because I truly wasn't expecting it! I thought the letter was for me at first but since it has the name of the road the "offense" was caught on, it turns out I was "innocent" because I never go down that road xD I started freaking my mom out by telling her she has a criminal record now xD Poor thing she believed me. ROFL!!

Naaah...it's all good. The only thing my mom said is that she wouldn't be going down that road ever again xD

[What's this?] Gangsta Wannabes

"Gangsta" wannabe's....

Let me explain that more clearly.
What I mean by Gangsta wannabe's is those guys that dress up in parachute-y pants + low-riding to the point that they could fall off, t-shirts the size of Mt. Everest (xD) , lots of "bling bling" *rolls eyes*, black sunglasses, a bandanna with a hat on top, and a cigarette (=S). Seriously...what the hell?

NB. You're probably wondering how could I notice all that....do I stare?
-____- No I do not stare...those guys are so out of place that it won't be so hard to miss them even if you tried...plus the colors they wear...Oh the colors they wear xD =S Far out!

Oh oh...when I say wannabe, I'm referring only to Arab guys =D Of course no generalization, so don't get me wrong here. But we all gotta admit, they're out there and there are HEAPS!

At uni, they're almost all over the place. They're mostly Saudi and Kuwaiti guys. Every time I see one of those guys dressed in that way I just want to laugh and it's annoying as well...for many reasons:

- It doesn't suit.
- No matter how you (you as in the gangsta wannabe's) dress up, you're still an ARAB.
- It does not look cool...AT ALL!
- They do look funny... -____-

I don't understand why they dress up like this (maybe they think it's cool...?)...because those clothes look weird on Arab guys...specifically Arab guys! I don't know why but they just don't suit! They totally look out of place as well...cos everyone around them is dressed "normally"...even the non-Arabs xD

Plus, SMOKING! SMOKING!! Far out! Smoking can/will kill you...just not straight away. But who ever smokes is just shortening their life span and it does not look cool at all (to those who actually think smoking is "cool"...are you kidding me?! =S).

Meh...but who am I to talk. Just an opinion xD

----------------

On the side...I have 3 mosquito bites on my left foot just around my ankle and they're all very, very, very well sized. They hurt so bad and they're very itchy!! Worst mosquito bite(s) ever...I have no blood left in me....lol...nah not to that extent xD

Laters =D
