Guns N' Roses Album = Mixed Feelings

So on November 23, after 18 years in the making, Guns N' Roses is finally releasing a new album.

PRO: Dr. Pepper is giving everyone a free can of soda to celebrate the album release

CON: So, far the songs which have been leaked on line... SUCK.

After such singles like "Welcome to the Jungle" and "Sweet Child O' Mine" they're going to come out with crap like "There Was A Time"?! EWWWWW!!!! Sad. So sad.

I so far only like "Shackler's Revenge" from the new Chinese Democracy album. LAME.

Mid-October Stuff

So, much has happened since September.

I'm still in Tiffany's living room *sad*
Still fat *super sad*
Poor *just sad*

Last weekend I attended Alpha Theta's Installations Ceremony aka new APO pledges. Um, there's a LOT of guys in the class. Everyone looks so young. Sigh. It's a sign. Age really does start to show. Whatever. I still think l look awesome. Oh yeah, and GBM was so damn boring. What the hell happened. It's like no matter how cute and funny you try to be.. it's still dry. I mean, okay, I admit that GBM was probably boring during my time too.. but it was so fun for me because I just had fun fucking around. No one even makes fun of other people or call them out when they're being stupid anymore. At least I looked cute in my outfit.

Last night I saw "Secret" directed by and starring Jay Chou at the SD Asian Film Festival. I have to admit that I liked it up until the very end.

Um... I'm getting into my classical music phase again. I totally think Bach is awesome.

Fall in San Diego, CA

*picture taken in Times Square with MY canon sd450

I woke up Sunday morning and found myself surprised by the chilly weather. Although it warmed up as the day progressed, it still felt nice to feel that bite in the air. I miss experiencing autumn in New York City. Seeing leaves change colors, sitting in Central Park, people-watching, and then drinking coffee at night in Bryant Park.

San Diego has the wackest fall ever. It's cold in the morning, warm during the day, and then undecided at night. Ugh, I can't even find a decent park to just chill at. The only park I'm contemplating really visiting is Balboa Park but there is no way in hell I'm trekking all the way over there. I might do so on the weekends, though. I plan to visit the modern and photographic art museums there. I actually haven't visited a museum by myself so I'm hoping I won't look lame if I go alone.

Fall is about wearing the cutest outerwear and layering clothes to look effortlessly chic and warm. I can't wait for that! Something I'm looking forward to is Halloween...not because I'm expecting the drunkest fun possible, but because I'm hoping my costume turns out cute.

Speaking of holidays.. I can't wait for Thanksgiving!!! Mmm... pumpkin pie. Mmm... mashed potatoes. Mmm... Macy's Thanksgiving Float Parade. Mmm... waking up and doing nothing while my mom cooks. Lol jk on the last part. I help out too....

my heart just got clawed out of my chest. it hurts so much.

Bad Dream? More like a Bad Week

I'm listening to Keane's "Bad Dream" right now... ugh.

Where do I even begin? I'm breaking out on my face. I hardly have the time and motivation to work out anymore. Work is starting to feel more tense with changes in procedure and environment. People around me are starting to feel unreliable. It's just really sad, when people see you happy and they can't deal with that. Like, what the fuck. Just leave me alone. I don't fuck with your happiness so don't fuck with mine. All I have to say is this:

Karma is a bitch.

Do I know this as a fact? Yes. Whenever I did something not so great, I was met with a moment of "you fail." When my exes screwed me over, you can bet they got screwed over somehow in the long run. When my "friends" thought they were too cool for school, they eventually ended up digging their own graves. So, if people want to try to tamper with my life and the people I care about, they're just doing themselves an injustice. I'm all for second chances because no one is perfect, but I don't believe my happiness should be sacrificed along the way.

Retail Therapy & Friday Night Coma

After what was especially a long day at work because I didn't want to be there (my personal reasons being the cause not the actual work itself), I visited the mall with my apartment mates. I ended up spending money. Wack. BUT... it was a present to myself. I've gone through so much in the last month that I really just needed to give myself something to cheer me up. I scored a fake leather jacket at Forever21 and some pleather black leggings. I honestly don't know when I'll be able to wear them, but I'll figure that out later. I also got a cute t-shirt at Charlotte Russe.

Although I really need to save money for my apartment for when I move out, I really needed something to cheer myself up. Things have been difficult for me, and I can't help but feel like someone's testing me to see if I can still stand at the end of the day.

Then, for dinner we went to Lolita's on Clairemont Mesa Blvd. So GOOD. SO FAT. Gah I barely ate most of my pollo asado fries. Kenny took my leftovers. Got home and literally fell onto my bed and napped for like an hour or so. Since then, I've been nursing my tummy and catching up on my tv shows online.

Yeah, I skipped out on Fall Fest 2008 featuring Lupe Fiasco. Why? Because I was never that big of a fan to begin with, and for good reason since I heard over 500 people were turned away from RIMAC Field due to max capacity. Suuuucks. Good thing I didn't buy a ticket.

Recommended New Music

The Killers- Human
It's kind of 80s pop, but that's always been their style, mixed in with some British new wave elements. Makes me think of a upbeat high-tempo version of what Coldplay would sound like if they weren't so emo.

Keane- Spiralling
Pretty different from the music they've made in the past. Definitely more dancey dancey. I like it. Makes me think of "Pop! There goes my heart" from "Music & Lyrics"??

Keane- The Night Sky
Now this is definitely like their songs from before. You know, the sad/contemplative type of sound. It's good for when you're feeling down or just chilling out by yourself.

Paramore- Decode
TWILIGHT FANS! Haha. Paramore is a good band for a pop rock category. The lyrics definitely mesh with the first book's storyline. *Sigh* Edward Cullen...

--okay this isn't new but it's still worthy of a DL--
Death Cab for Cutie- I Will Possess Your Heart
Awesome lyrics, and the beat is truly developed in its sound and instrumental use.

Happy October

Today is Day 2 of October 2008 and it's more than safe to say that MUCH has happened since September. Let's all get some perspective and find common ground.

Looking forward to AC/DC & Guns 'N' Roses albums.

Another thing: NEVER EVER take for granted what you have in life. This pertains to family, jobs, friends, and being skinny.
