Sleepless Nights and Coffee

Ah yes, the weekend is here once again and it means one thing for me. Hello sleepless nights and my friend in the weekends, caffeine. Like every weekend, I know that I will be consuming a lot of the wonderful caffeine and who knows how much I drink. Maybe five to ten cups of coffee a day I guess. All I know that its more during the longer breaks that's for sure.

I guess I get the coffee love from my mom since she loves it a lot too. And it also helps drinking tons of it with my older sister growing up and winning every time since she can't stand the taste. Oh well, not everyone has to like coffee.

As for sleepless night, it just takes practice to get your body used to it. And it helps to be able to easily change your sleeping patterns. From sleeping in the night to just staying up until ten in the morning and not waking up until ten at night. And that just shows you are doing it correctly. Or at least that's how I see it. But this is someone who is a night owl typing this all up for a post.

Calling the whambulance. Whine-One-One.

Because nothing is more fun for the Urban Dictionary blog post than to do a popular term based on the internet. Okay, two since I can't choose between the both of them.

Word number one has to be the classic whambulance and that is the imaginary rescue vehicle that will rescue you from someone's incessant whining over a trivial matter. Used mockingly, but in good humor.

Ah yes, the whambulance, one of my personal favorites that I like to use once in awhile. The best way to describe it is a term we use to describe (in a sarcastic way) some stupid pointless drama people complain about. And yes, I have use this term in public before and I'm not ashamed to admit that.

The second one has to the all time guilty pleasure I do on the internet is trolling.


Trolling is trying to get a rise out of someone. Forcing them to respond to you, either through wise-crackery, posting incorrect information, asking blatantly stupid questions, or other foolishness. However, trolling statements are never true or are ever meant to be construed as such. Nearly all trolled statements are meant to be funny to some people, so it does have some social/entertainment value.

"Trolling" isn't simply "harmful statements". Intentionally insulting/libelous statements are "flaming".

Just as bad as trolling is "Feeding the Trolls". This is when people say stuff that they know will prompt someone to respond with a trolled reply and/or replying to comments that are blatantly from a troll. This is especially true when a troll first makes his comment/reply, and (usually many) people respond, either trying to correct the troll, or express anger at the statement. At that point, the trolling was successful and has been fed. When encouraged by success and feeding, trolls often return.
In World of Warcraft, there are occasionally people that blurt out in world chat, "You get your mount at level 40 and costs 100 gold." then immediately signs off.

This information is outdated by over a year; but MANY people respond for at least 10-15 minutes afterwards with either corrections or calling that player a 'dummy', or something similar insulting their intelligence.

Trolling is just to mock and start drama on message boards to cause buthurt (another popular internet term) and get the people ticked off in a heated flame war. My God, I love trolling certain sites and that does include the many Justin Bieber chat sites. In honestly, it's like taking candy from a baby and they get offended very easily.

I hate the Snow

Have I ever mention that I hate the snow? Yes, I really do hate the snow a lot. I never was a fan of this season and I prefer spring and the rain to be honest. Anything is just about better than snow, even extreme hot days are better than this. And I hate the hot days.

Don't get me wrong, snow is pretty. During the month of December is the only month that snow is pretty and magical. After or before that is just a huge mess. All that slush, ice, wind is not something I enjoy all mixed together. Also the cold, who can't forget the cold. That is one of the biggest things I hate about this weather, the cold. I dislike the cold and I dislike the extreme heat and I guess you can say that I like the warm, foggy or rainy days the most.

Not to mention going out in it is the worst. All the hassle doesn't seem worth the trip to anywhere and not to mention the dangers. Just the thought of it makes me shudder as I type this.

An Ode to Comedy

What is comedy? There is many different ways to describe comedy. According to the dictionary I have in my dorm,  comedy is defined as a humorous play, ect. with a non-tragic ending or an amusing event. Looking over at the definition, to does make perfect sense about what a comedy is and how to describe it to the best of their abilities.  But it doesn't answer the most important question I can think of.

What does comedy mean to you.

For me, comedy is a stress reliever for us and it put us in a good mood. Like most movies and plays, comedy distracts you from the horrors of the real world and for a short while, helps you forget about the issues you have.  It helps you escape your life and temporarily enter another one of the comedy.  A comedy makes our life more enjoyable and of course puts us in a good mood. Besides, who doesn't like anything that puts us in a good mood when we have a bad day?

What I mean is that its good to have a laugh in our day when things get tough. It just makes your day a little bit better and makes life less dark. So don't be afraid to laugh when the going gets tough and take some time to watch something funny.

Shoes and Puppies

I guess there are many different reasons why I wear shoes. There is the common one, we wear them to protect our feet from harmful objects and from the ever changing weather. We also wear them as clothing when we want to go somewhere and we don't want to go to the place barefoot anyway. So we must have to put on shoes when we go somewhere out of our house.

Because we all want to go barefoot to a place where who knows what's been on the floor and that's just public restrooms.

I guess I wear them to protect my feet from playful animals in my house and there has been times where I've became the chew toy for them. I now have to keep an eye on shoes in general now since Bella loves to drag them to the living room and start to chew on them. I will be happy once her chewing stage is over, now that I think about it I will be happy when she gets out of the puppy stage. Too bad labs puppy stage lasts two to three years.

I will be picking up shoes off the floor for the next few years if my mom's boyfriend would just stop her from doing that since it is his dog. But it just makes me wonder how the house lasts without me doing everything during the week.

The Saddest Day of Joe Bob Rainey

Walls, all you could see is walls. Walls that show history and the peeling rusted wallpaper is collected on the floor.  Just adding to the mixtures and broken concert floor pieces and dried up blood from past residents.  Past residents who stayed in the room, who slept in the only bed and used the only bathroom in here.

Screams and cries can he heard from the other cells. Some came from the tortures from the doctors trying to "cure" them from their illness or banish the devil out of them. Others screamed from the tortured visions and nightmares their own minds created that they can't control. And for a few, screaming was their only was of communicating to one another.

Bodies come and go each day, gaining and losing the ill and taking them out without others knowing. You have to wonder where do the bodies go here. Who knows, but you just can't ignore the smell of it for too long.

There are plenty of children here and it is quite a shame to see them. Playing games and running around like normal children. Too bad they are so ill with their own sicknesses.

And here's Joe, sitting here looking at the walls of his cell. Looking too happy and I don't think even he knows he is in here. I guess that's the best way to go, trapped in your own delusions.

But here in the insane ward, who isn't mad here?

"Inch worm, inch worm - always measuring"

I've been listening to a lot of Black Tape for a Blue Girl since I just recently got into them thanks to my good friend. I do have to say that their music is pretty good and I love the mixture between male and female vocalists.  Plus they are one of the most well known Darkwave acts so how can I not check them out?

Maybe the reason I decided to check them out because back in October Valerie Gentile joined the group. Before you do ask, I do know her and I saw her perform back in 2008 when she was in CXS. To sum it up, she's an awesome guitarist that is all. I finally found the time and I didn't forget this time to get one of Black Tape for a Blue Girl's albums.

The one I have, 10 Neurotics is pretty enjoyable to listen to. If you are into Gothic music of course.
