Get It Out There Friday 9/29/17

How about for this week I'm going to talk about Fall Out Boy.

Fall Out Boy was created in 2001. In that time period, they have accomplished many things. They have 6 albums and are currently working on their next, they brought Panic! At The Disco to fame, and made a whole movie on a shoestring budget. 

6 Current Albums

First off, why Fall Out Boy is the best is they brought my favorite band, Panic! At The Disco, to fame. The story basically goes, 

Pete: "Hey, this random guy sent me a video of their band thinking I'm gonna sign them. They're so dumb." 

The rest of the band: "Yea stupid kids." 

Pete: WaIt. Remember when we were those stupid kids? We should totally sign them to our label. It'll be doooope." 

The rest of the band: Wait, what? 

Pete: YOOOOO PANIC! IS SIGNED AND FAMOUS BECAUSE OF ME.

I love early Fall Out Boy so much. They have a song that's called "Our Lawyers Made Us Change The Name Of This Song So We Wouldn't Get Sued" You know why it's named that? Their lawyers' literally made them change the name of their song so they wouldn't get sued. The name of the song was originally "I liked you much better before you became a MySpace W**re" but when the went to record the lawyers said that it could be offensive and that MySpace probably wouldn't take to kindly to that and that they should change the name. so they changed it to a quite literal title.

Now to their second f you to their producers/lawyers and this one is one of my favorites. One of their most popular songs (Right behind Sugar We're going down) is called Thanks For the Memories. However, on albums and most places on the internet, it's "Thnks fr th mmrs" and many people were confused as to why. So after many questions from confused fans, Patrick finally decides to answer. His answer was simply "Our producers complained our song titles were too long, so we shortened them." (Also in the music video for Thnks Fr Th Mmrs it has Kim Kardashian)

Next, their movie. The Youngblood Chronicles Here's a link because it's really cool. It's not really a 'movie' to most peoples standards. It's 11 music videos that all connect to make a story. All the songs are from their fifth studio album Save Rock and Roll. It stars Fall Out Boy obviously. Also, they have Elton John as God, Tommy Lee as what the band refers to 'Party Satan' and lastly Courtney Love as 'The head bitch in charge.' I'd refer to her as something else but that's literally what her name is and what they refer to her as in the title sequence. It's roughly 50 minutes and was actually released on DVD for a short period of time. The storyline is a bit complicated and kinda hard to explain without going into all the conspiracy theories so I'm not even going to try. That might be an idea for another blog. 

The Youngblood Chronicles Commentary  Now here's the commentary that the band does for the movie and it's great. If you have an extra 50 minutes after watching the actual movie I would recommend this as well.

Dentists

Dentists are ridiculous. You go there and you gotta sit in a waiting room for who knows how long just to get in a room and wait even longer. The waiting room is either super loud or it's awkwardly quiet, and there's no in between.

Then in the rooms, you got those weird dentist chairs you got to sit in. They also leave all these tools in the rooms with you that you aren't supposed to touch but you want to so bad.

Fast forward to the dentist actually coming in the room with you. You're pulled back in the chair to the point you're staring at the ceiling. Now someone has put up posters on the freaking ceiling. With this, I have to ask why?? Who in their right mind puts a dang poster on the ceiling? Who says "Oh you know what I'm gonna do? Put a poster on the ceiling of every room in the dentist office for people to stare at while the dentist is jabbing at people's teeth."

Let me tell you when I'm at the dentist office, with my mouth open, two hands and two or three tools in my mouth, the last thing I want to do is look at a 'Where's Waldo' poster.
Then there's that awkward, "where do I look" going through your head. "Do they really expect me to look at this poster for the entire 10 minutes to an hour or however long I'm going to be here?" "Am I supposed to look at the dentist? Or maybe his assistant?" And god forbid you get the dentist that tries to talk to you while he's in your mouth.
Dentist: "Hey how are you?"
Me. *Internally* Not very good, you have your entire fist in my mouth. Why in the hell are you trying to make small talk? *out loud* "Random noises that kind of resemble 'fine' or 'good'"
Dentist: *Continues to talk*
Me: *Internally* Oh. My. God. Please shut up.
Like, do dentists actually expect you to answer? I have to say, that alone, is my biggest pet peeve about going to the dentist. *Eye roll*

YoU'rE bLeeDInG BeCauSe YoU dOn'T fLoSS

Now let's get to the "because you don't floss excuse". The dentist jabs you in the gums with one of his sharp tools and your gums start bleeding. Then he goes on the tell you "You're bleeding because you don't floss."
I don't floss. You're correct. You know why? Because nobody in the damn world under the age of 35 flosses unless you're just a loser with nothing
better to do.
So yeah, I don't floss, Jim, but I think the real reason you're saying this is because you messed up and stabbed me, and now you want to flip the tables and make this my fault. So how about you shut up?

Now we're finally over and ready to go. You walk over to the receptionist desk and they want you to plan your next appointment. 6 months from now. "Are you going to be free on March 18, 2018, at 2:00?" Like I don't freaking know. Probably not. "Well how about at 3:00" Well sure why not. Because I can predict the future and know exactly where I'm going to be in 6 months.

Podcast

So Sheffield loves to have us listen to podcasts in class, and has come up with an idea for our blog to match this. He wants us to find our own podcast that has to do with our blog, and then make a post that still has to do with our blog.
My blog is rants, and so I have to find a podcast that has to do with ranting and then rant about that podcast.

For mine I chose a rant from Total Geekall where they talk about Suicide Squad, the Extended Cut

All in all I think it's pretty good. It's focuses quite a while on the Harley Quinn and Joker area of the movie, as did most people. It brought up more of the relationship in a way that I'm okay with. Instead of just saying "Harley and Joker are relationship goals" Like most people say, they actually do go more into detail.

The podcast goes into detail on how the books portray them, along with the animated series, and then finally how they think the director was going for. How the director was trying to say that Harley broke the Joker first, and that's why he felt like he had to break her back. And how they explain I can really get behind. Of course they do go much more in detail and explain it better however.

It doesn't just focus on Harley Quinn and Joker. My favorite part is the very beginning where they're saying "If you didn't like the movie, then more definitely isn't the answer." Since this is the extended version they are talking about, and not the original.
In fact, after listening to this, it has moved me to want to watch the extended cut that I had originally not planned to do since I figured, it's just 10 or 11 extra minutes. That a waste of time to go back and rewatch the movie for that. However, after listening to this, and hearing them talk about those extra few minutes, it does almost make it sound like a whole new movie.

I also gotta say if you are a movie buff, and really enjoyed Suicide Squad then I do recommend this podcast. However, if you didn't enjoy Suicide Squad, then I'll repeat what I said above, more probably isn't better.

Boobs

     Alright, so I was on Snapchat and one of my friends posts a photo of herself in a sports bra and shorts. It's no big deal really. I see girls wearing things like that to the gym and running down the street all the time. Everything was covered and she in way looked bad. However, she is a skinny, fit girl, and looks nice. Therefore, a couple hours later another girl I was friends with on Snapchat post a photo saying "If you post photos of yourself in a sports bra then you are trashy and nothing changes the fact that you're an STD farm."
     I in no way understand how the two are correlated? Like I see this girl posts pictures of herself in a swimsuit all the time. Like honey, you do realize your little bitty string bikini covers maybe half of this outfit that my friend posted, yet you're calling her trashy? Why are swimsuits okay, but a sports bra that covers twice as much, not okay?
     I also feel like society should focus more on double standards. Men can walk around without a shirt on and it's no big deal, so why can't women? And yes I know the most common argument that women have boobs and men don't, but as a woman with small breasts, I can say that argument is false. I see every day during the summer men with no shirt on with boobs three times the size of mine.
     Then there's also the argument that boobs turn men on, but again, I see men with much larger boobs. Why do only female boobs work, and not male boobs? Like oh, those boobs produce milk, that's so hot. Or is it more like men are just great babies and female boobs make them remember the times when they were still small enough to drink their mom's milk. Lord knows most of them still act like it.
But whatever the case, if men can't get over women's boobs being different from theirs it should be just as looked down upon for men to take their shirts off as well. Either everyone can, or no one. It's called double standards.

I Believe...

My teacher has recently sprung a new assignment on us that all of us in the class must work on, so I guess I'll just jump right in. He wants us to make a post of what we believe that also ties into our blogs. Well my blog is about rants, and pretty much everything I post about already has to do with what I believe, so I'm going to do a more open stance on this.


     I believe that people, as a whole, are dumb. They like to say outrageous things, just for the sake of saying them. They like to pick on people who are already down, just to put them further down. They like to find people who are enjoying life and put them down too.  What I truly believe is that we as people can't stand others doing better than us.
     Now I hate when people do this, and that's one of the main things I focus on in a lot of my rants. I know I have at least three or four rants just specifically about me being mad about what someone has said. And they're all about someone or something popular or pretty. Why I think this is, is because we can't stand people doing better than us. I know I've already said that but it's important and I really truly think that's how people think.
     So that's where a lot of my rants come from. Someone who thinks they're the best sees someone doing better than them and they want to put this person down so they can feel better. This makes me mad. I think everyone just needs to mind their own business and let people be happy. Just so long as they're in good health, and not harming themselves or others, who cares? Whenever I see something like this, I just can't not rant.

Monday's Revival 9/25/17

So this is just gonna be a short ranty rundown of how my weekend went.
Thursday my child went to his dads so I didn't have him until Saturday night.

Friday: Got out of school, came home and put the Family guy movie into my DVD player. I thought it was horrible, There was no new content, it was just the same episodes and cutaways all slashed together and there wasn't even a storyline.

Saturday: I continued on my Death Note series, I'm currently on episode 20. I then sat around for two hours until it came time to pick up my child. I then got both of us ready for bed.

Sunday: I went to church and worked in the nursery. There was a new baby in there and she did not like the other nursery worker. She would only be quiet when she was with me. However, that made Jaxson, my son, jealous which would cause him to scream, so then the girl would scream and then you know how that continues on. We eventually just had to get the girls grandmother and have her hold the girl while I held Jax. So that was pretty exhausting.
Then mom wanted to take Jax to McDonald's because he needed pancakes. We fed him some pancakes and Fries and where just about ready to go home when Joel and his boyfriend walks in. I talked with Joel for a bit and then Jax and I went home.
I also started getting plans ready for homecoming.

So, all in all, it was a pretty boring weekend.

Get it out there Friday 9/22/17

I know this isn't a normal part of my blog but I think it'd be something fun to add. I'm going to start a 'Get It Out There Friday'. For this, I will just simply tell of something that I enjoy, and want to tell people about or something that happened to me over the week I want to tell people about. Pretty much just something I want to tell people about that's not necessarily a rant but may still be rant-like.

So for my first Get It Out There Friday I'm going to talk about my favorite band, Panic! At The Disco.

Panic! originally started in 2005 and is still existing to this day.

2005 Panic!

Now, these old panic at the disco photo shoots makes me laugh so hard. Like for the bottom one, what even is going on? As for the top one, I kinda like to narrate it. Like the photographer was like "Guys try and be sexy." And so the guys were all like "Well let's put the girl up front" and everyone wanted to be the one to touch her and stuff until it comes to Brendon and he's like "Come on guys, I'm the sexiest there is. Lemme show you, I'll even copy the girl." The all the guys were like, "calm down Brendon." To which Brendon said, "Come on dude grab my leg." And he said, "Alright if it'll shut you up." 

Current Panic! 

When you become the entire band.

When you're at a photo shoot and the photographer asks when the rest of the band is coming. 

Brendon is an amazing musician. For one, none of Panic's albums sound anything alike. Brendon likes having a large genre of music. In the last album Death Of A Bachelor, Brendon is working entirely by himself. He literally recorded every instrument on the album separately, by himself. 

(Albums in reference A Fever You Can't Sweat Out,  Pretty. Odd., Vices and Virtues, and Too Weird To Live, Too Rare To Die.) 

He also is in a very popular Broadway show, Kinky Boots.

Brendon Singing "Soul Of A Man"  a video of Brendon singing one of the songs from Kinky Boots. 

 

I would literally give my heart and soul to Brendon Urie if he asked. 

(Sorry to post a couple days late)

Drama

(I tried to mark out inappropriate language but there was a lot of it so some got away from me. I apologize in advance.) (each individual person is marked with a color.)(The red and the pink were supposed to be the same.)




Okay, so this is what started all of my drama last night. I said that this girl is dumb to which she then replied many things. She replied her first comment and then started in on messaging me personally. (seen below.) If she really got that butthurt over being called dumb I really don't know what to tell her. I call lots of people dumb, like literally everyone. And she was being dumb so ya know.

 

Okay, then she messages me to 'stay out of her relationship' whenever I clearly never said a thing about it or even cared to begin with, but then she starts posting about mine blatantly, even making a Facebook post tagging him in it. But yea, I need to stay out of her relationship. Okay. And also on the comment thread on my friend's post, she brings up my friend's ex, that had nothing to do with this before, and then privately messaged my friend to stay away from her boyfriend. Like girl, we still have done nothing to or said anything to your boyfriend. 

Her boyfriend then makes a post that is obviously calling out my said friend and me there towards the end. This chick seriously needs to tell her boyfriend to leave us alone, not the other way around. Considering as like I told the girl herself, The boyfriend is the one who talks to us, not the other way around. 

 But all of this also started bc in a classroom discussion, my friend said something directed to the boyfriend. She shows how dumb she really is because earlier she didn't understand how a classroom discussion had to do with her boyfriend. Like it's a classroom, and it's a discussion. That means a discussion between a classroom. I don't know how to make that clearer.
She then goes on to say she has no problem ignoring her ex's in classes. Good for you, but you gotta keep in mind the difference of situations. You go to the high school with 30 kids in the class. We go to the alternative with like 10 people in a class. So, yeah, it's not very difficult to ignore one kid out of 30 compared to one out of 10. Also, your school has 1,000+ kids. You could easily go your entire high school life without ever seeing some of those people again. We have 50. So it's pretty important that everyone gets along ya feel?

Clothes

A cute photo of a baby for you guys

Baby clothes. None of them fit the same. I get some that are super wide and short and it's like "no baby looks like this?" There's some that are like a foot wide and 5 inches long and I feel like if there was a baby that looked like that, that'd be pretty scary. Then also none of them are the same size. You go to Carters, and they're the best to realistically size. But you also go ones from Walmart that are super long and way too short in width. Like can't all the companies get together and learn what a baby looks like? We talking about babies, they all look pretty close to the same. We're sizing for babies, not women.

Now don't even get me started on women's clothing, which is probably the most ridiculous thing there are. We get these itty bitty pockets that aren't even big enough for our pinkies to fit in comfortably, and then men ask why we carry purses. Like how about you put on a pair of our jeans and find out why? Oh, what's that? You can't because there's no room for you guys to fit in there.


Also, why is the sizing so damn inconsistent? I go to Walmart and I'm a size three. sometimes threes are even too big. I go to Hot Topic and I'm a size 5. I go to some of the more popular stores and I'm a size 9. So depending on the store I can range from a size 1-9. That's a pretty big gap. It's most commonly three but still. Why can't all stores just agree that a size 34 waist is a size three or whatever? Why does every store have to make it as difficult as possible?

Now onto my point number three.
I think Tumblr says it best. Literally, everyone can sit is a medium men's size shirt. So why do men get this consistency in size but women don't?

Here are the South Park goth kids because I'm sure they'd agree with me that this is dumb. But then again they'd probably agree that everything is dumb. (also the only thing I typed into google images was Hot Topic and the South Park goth kids were the first thing to pop up. xD)

Monday Revival 9-18-17

Mondays. Gotta love them, right? Or maybe not. I have had a long weekend. It's not even noon yet and I'm already ready to go back to bed. Let me just recap on this whole weekend.

Friday: I get out of school only to forget that I had left the egg cartons that Sheffield gave me there. I get home and have to take care of all of my animals. (Not Mr. Baby, however, because he's at his dad's.)  I then get the house all situated and have to get in the car and go to the hospital. My mom was there because she was getting the hole in her neck closed up and had to stay overnight. So I stay overnight with her.

Saturday: Wake up at 7 in the morning to a nurse waking both me and my mom up to tell us we're going home soon. *Time skip to noon* It's noon and we're still at the hospital waiting on my mom's discharge papers. Then my dad comes in the room and about an hour later we get to leave. Yay.
So now I go back home and *Time skip to 6* now Jax is home too. I get him all situated and we go to bed.

Sunday: *7:30* I wake up to get ready for church. Jax is awake too and I give him a bottle and he's all happy playing in the crib. I ask my dad to watch him for 15 minutes so I can take a shower. My dad says 'sure no problem." I come back to see a half-off diaper on Jax and to see poop everywhere. All over the crib and him. So I have to clean him off and then reclean myself. I then feed him, clean him again, and then go to church. The rest of the day isn't too bad.

*Time skip to right now.* I woke up late this morning and had to hurry around. Jax made a mess once again (shocker) and he got a bath this morning. I ran down my driveway to catch my bus, worried I might miss it. But the bus was late too, so I ended up waiting 10 minutes at the bus stop. Then I got here and that's pretty hard all on its own.

So yea.... back to my point, Mondays are hard. Some are worse than others, however. And as much as we hate Mondays, we still gotta live with them.

Wattpad

Wattpad is a great website. It is a place to write and read stories and allow you to share yours and get it out there. It is a very popular site and if your story gets popular enough it can sometimes get published. Like by a publishing company and printed and put in libraries. There are several people to who this happens to and if this happens your story gets a little medal next to the title.
However, guess what. The school blocks this website on the Chromebooks. Why I don't understand. It is not a social media site. It is simply something to write and share. If anything that would be educational.
Now yes there can be inappropriate content, but that goes for any website. For Christ's sake, Twitter is unblocked on the Chromebooks. I promise you, probably nothing can be as bad as Twitter. I used to have Twitter on my phone, but after a while, I got tired of seeing all of the fake news and just horrible things put on there and deleted it. So if I the teenager using these Chromebooks feel as if Twitter the site that all the teachers threw a fit to get unblocked is a terrible site, I really don't see why Wattpad is all that bad for us to use.
Now another site that I use on the Chromebooks is Quotev.

 This site has been blocked and unblocked many times. It's currently unblocked as of September 18, but last year at the end of the year, I know it was blocked.
It's kinda like Wattpad, but not. It's more like Wattpad's younger sibling that doesn't get enough attention. Many stories go unfinished because it's not as popular and people get discouraged and lose interest. People make posts saying "If this doesn't get *Insert number* like I'm going to delete my account" or something along those lines. So of course after a while that gets pretty annoying.
I think Wattpad should just be unblocked, however, seeing as it is a great website.

Models

This ^ This photo is literally the dumbest thing ever. This is 'plus sized'??? She's like skinnier than I am, and I only weigh 112 pounds! If that's considered plus sized I... don't even know. Actually, let's get a BMI scale in for size.

I'm 5'2 and 112 lbs. By this BMI chart, I am underweight. I'm not much bigger than this said model. so by that logic, she is probably classified in the healthy section of the BMI chart.

So pretty much what Calvin Klein is promoting is, if you are of a healthy weight, you are plus sized. Good job guys.

My Strange Addictions

Okay, so I've always been told I can't eat cookie dough. "Why?" I ask. "Because cookie dough has raw eggs and if you eat those raw eggs you'll get salmonella and die." Is what they always tell me back.

Now I was watching My Strange Addictions and I was seeing all the crazy things they were eating and just couldn't believe that I cannot eat cookie dough, made out of actual foods but Josh over there can eat glass.

MSA Josh the glass eater, but I can't eat any cookie dough.
Here's the link if you wanna see the glass eater.

So there you go. God forbid someone eats a little bit of cookie dough, that actually tastes good, but Josh can eat glass. I've also seen episodes of people eating pillows, beds, (That's right, an entire bed.) plastic bags, and all kinds of other things that actually will kill you, but I can't have cookie dough because I'll get salmonella. Truth be told, I'll take on a little Salmonella to eat cookie dough, I don't care.

Disney

Disney Whitewash. 

That is one of the most ridiculous things that I hear about Disney.

     Here's one of the examples of people claiming Disney whitewashes. Yes, all these princesses are white. You want to know why? Because it makes sense in where the story takes place.
     Brave is an Irish story if you can't tell from the fiery curl locks. Have you seen people in Ireland? They're pretty frikking white.
Rapunzel. She's German. German's are typically white as well.
Frozen is Norwegian. Norway is white, people. All these Disney princesses are white because it makes sense with their story and where they are at in the world.
     There are plenty of colored princesses such as Tiana, Jasmine, and Pocahontas, etc. Whitewashing would be if they took the story of Aladdin based on Arabin Nights and renamed her Jessica and gave her white skin and blonde hair. But they don't.
Don't hate on things just for the sake of hating on things people.


Now let's get to the REAL reason to hate on Disney. Disney is so over-appreciated. Almost any animated movie, no matter where it's from, everyone calls it Disney. Like The Incredibles, Shrek, Cars, Toy Story, Finding Nemo, Trolls, How To Train Your Dragon, and Kung Fu Panda. I hear all of these always being referenced to Disney when they are not. None of those are Disney movies. They are all Pixar and Dreamworks.
Pixar isn't as under-appreciated as some of the movie productions, but it's still pretty down the list compared to Disney. Dreamworks, on the other hand, is one of my favorite movie productions. Flushed Away is by them, and is a super under-appreciated movie.

Almost all DreamWorks movies are great. Same with Pixar and Disney. I have nothing against Disney, it just kinda over powers everything else, and I don't like it.
