Wow. Has been more than a week since my last post. Too long. But ive had exams and shit on, so i forgive myself.
Rather than describe the feeling of shitting myself during exams or how pointless and boring the GAT was (i sware i have NEVER learnt more about deep sea exploration in my life), i'm moving onto the long weekend! Woot.
I'm attending an all-nighter tomorrow night, but the cool thing is; i've been invited earlier than the others for a special purpose: WE. ARE. BUILDING. A. FUCKING. HALF. PIPE. IN. MY. FRIEND'S. BACKYARD. O. M. G.
Now for those of you who don't know, a half pipe is a skate ramp, in the shape of a half pipe (as the name indicates, for those of you retarded enough to not get the meaning) that is used for skating. We have to build it, paint it (we're getting one of our good old friends from the Carlton Commission Flats to do a piece on it), and skate it.
Then, when the guests arrive, the fun starts. Skating, BBQ, drinking, trampoline, OUTDOOR SPA... Yes you heard that right, he has an outdoor spa. Yes, you should be jealous. Well fuck you if you're not.
So that's my long weekend planned. Anything interesting coming your way?
I've been kickin' back to lots of rap & hip-hop recently, so I decided to post 5 of the best (in my opinion, and this doesn't mean THEY ARE THE BEST) booming tracks;
1. Chase That Feeling - Hilltop Hoods
This is some of the best Aussie culture you'll ever get. Hilltop Hoods, even though they come from Adelaide, are second to none in the field of Australian rap. Their beats are catchy, their lyrics political, sad, and funny.
2. Juicy - Biggie Smalls
The Notorious B.I.G (may his soul rest in peace) was one hell of a fat prick with a badass, black rapper attitude, and his tunes were just as good. This song is THE underdog song, detailing his life struggles and his fight to get to the top.
3. Lonely Streets (featuring Debaser) - Bliss N Eso
Okay, when I said the Hoods were second to none in Aussie rap, I might've spoken too fast. These guys are fucking insane. They use sampling to add that much-loved awesonmness to their tracks, and their lyrics are maybe even better than their fellow Australian counterparts. Unfortunately, they also, too, come from Adelaide... But, no one is perfect, so all is forgiven.
4. Dance Wiv Me (featuring Calvin Harris & Chrome) - Dizzee Rascal
When it comes to the English, rap is OUT OF THE QUESTION. But this guy is black, so it like counteracts the fact that he comes from a country with no rap skills whatsoever. This guy was at Big Day Out, and he was fucking amazing. Plus this song has the only Scottish rapper that I know of.
5. Without Me - Eminem
The most controversial rapper in the history of the art, Marshall Mathers the 3rd is one angry motherfucker in his raps, and I can understand why, with a name like that. His raps are infectious; once they catch on, they will never let go. This guy has so many good songs, but I had only room for one.
Fark. Tomorrow is already the last day of the first half of the year (before exams), which means end of Unit 1 for us VCE students. What a fuck-up that's been. Stuffing around in class, getting detentions, racking shit from JB-Hifi with mates, sexual harassment lawsuits for a few friends, failing subjects, realising that our dreams and hopes are all grand fucking delusions... The list goes on, and what a start to the year. If the second half is as good as this, bring it on I say.
But by now I've come to the stage where I've realised that I'm looking forward to the future TOO much... I mean sure, I can't wait to get out of school, into the wild urban jungle, fend for myself in that dog-eat-dog world, but with all that, I've forgotten to live in the now.
By being so obsessed with the past, our mistakes and triumphs, and anticipating the future, how amazing and different it will be, we've forgotten to live in the moment.
So I'm here to tell you; You only have one life, so get your fucking head in the game and look around; this is the now, this is YOUR life, so live it to the fullest.
Hokay, so it's late at night on a tuesday, I'm shit bored, so instead of bitching on about how boring life is and that I should get off the computer and go to bed, I'm going to tell you to go watch awesome movies that are awesome. I'll try do one a week. Even if you've already seen it, just fucking watch it again! DO IT.
1. Gentelmen Broncos:
You remember when Napoleon Dynamite first came out and after your Vote For Pedro shirt was all stained from your shame-sweat and your mouth finally stopped uncontrollably muttering "GOSH, IDIOT," you actually had that moment where you stopped and were like, "Yah, that movie was OK, but now that I think about, it was super G-rated. What the fuck, who duped me into watching a G-rated movie and, even more, who hypnotized me into running around pretending I'm not allowed to cuss and that I need to practice my karate? Damn! If I was gonna be influenced that much by a movie, I wish that shit was DARK!"?Then Nacho Libre came out right about then and did nothing to fulfill your fantasies, as that movie vacuumed a pile of dicks up off of the floor in record speed. HOWEVER, the magically imaginative husband/wife team of Jared & Jerusha Hess have finally accomplished what we wanted them to do in the first place. Gentlemen Broncos is, in the most general way possible, a dark Napoleon Dynamite. But it gets so much deeper than that, and so much more compelling and original. It's not just a cussing version of Napoleon. Actually, I still don't think there's even cussing in THIS on either, but its super fucked up nonetheless. Filled to the rim of the film canister with sci-fi, innocence, mormon values, snakes, deers with lasers, gay spacemen from the future, castration, vomit, plagiarism, indy filmmaking, more lasers, and superstar Jemaine Clement from Flight Of The Conchords, only THE MOST AWESOME BAND. EVER. This shit's on DVD. Get it.
