   'Why do I care that Cadrian Rogers won a Green Card? Why do I want to enter a lottery, especially when the only prize is the ability to enter the US?'


Hurrah. Three days until my birthday. My 18th birthday none the less. Honestly, I keep forgetting about it and then thinking, 'wow, I'm going to be 18 soon-Hey, that man is wearing a hat!'

Last night my uncle took me to see episode 3 last night as a birthday present, and I enjoyed it. I mean, there are several things that make me want to hate it, but the overall picture is okay.

I'm sure none of you want to hear my gripes, but they are but a few and I'm sure you'll agree with me...maybe

-and wow that was a huge spider crawling on my leg that I thought was my bag brushing me. Okay, it's dead-

Spoilers, obviously.

Number one, the biggun. I probably wouldn't have a problem with this had I not read Republic Commando, so I guess it's my fault.

I am familiar with the star wars story and, like most people, understand that the storm troopers from ep 4-6 have to have come from somewhere. However, their Jedi betrayal seemed to quick for me. Meh, I guess they were just following orders, but they were following orders to kill their supreme officer that they had bonded with throughout a massive intergalactic war.

Meh.

Was I the only one that thought of crying out, 'Mace Windu! Noooo!' ?

^_^;

The previous complaints follow the plot line and had evoked emotions that no-doubt Lucas wanted, I'm still displeased.

No! Younglings! Run awaaaaay!

Ahem. As I was saying, the only thing I can really complain about is the sheer soap opera that spattered an otherwise interesting movie. I wasn't the only one in the cinema groaning when Anakin said those stupid lines.

Ah well.

Baton!

Total volume of music on my computer: 256mb

Last CD I bought: From the Sea: Eskimo Joe (single)

Music currently playing: None.

Top five songs: (Augh. Death.)

1. Rebels of the Sacred Heart, Flogging Molly [Drunken Lullabies]. It's a song that basically sums up the piratical tendencies of my grade way back in '04. It's a lot of fun, and Celtic Rock is something not many have heard of. I'm forever grateful for Tom Michel introducing me to this great band.

2. Time is Running out, Muse. I understand and know the song is referring to abortion, but listening to the opening instrumental just makes me think of the SYF. Specifically Liam skulking around in the shadows, with the rest of the team spread out around him. Try it sometime.

3. Mr Spock, Nerf Herder [American Cheese]. I swear that one of these days I will find their album and listen to other songs they've written. Bismarck sent this song to me ages ago over msn, and I've loved it ever since.

4. Tried My Wings, Antiskeptic [Aurora]. It's just a good song. I'm not going to analyse it for you, you'll just have to listen to it yourself.

5. Tobacco Island, Flogging Molly [Within a Mile of Home]. This would be the number two, but I thought it best to spread it around. Granted, I don't have much music, but I do enjoy what I have. It's another piratey song [as most of them are], but the history and pure passion that is infused with the music has always confirmed to me that no one can sing like the Irish. Especially when they're drunk. And possibly angry.

I'd pass it on, but I don't know anyone else that reads this and hasn't been beaten over the head by this stupid thing, :p.
