Death Week---6/22/09 to 6/28/09

This past week, it was a week of despair, a week of sadness, and a week of loss. No one thought not one, two, three, but 4 celebrities would die in the same week. No one saw this coming. Especially celebrities in Hollywood, they were in complete shock.

Ed McMahon (died June 23, 2009)-He was that one famous person who is the "sidekick" of Legendary Talk Show Host Johnny Carson (RIP). He always says his drawn-out line "Heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeres JOHNNY!" whenever The Tonight Show start in the past decades. He also participated in various charities, and hosted the Jerry Lewis Telethon (which airs every Labor Day). Ed was 86 years old.

Farrah Fawcett (died June 25, 2009)-She was the "international sex symbol" in the 70's and 80's. She was the "original" Charlie's Angel. She was very beautiful. Everyone admired her hair, the "Farrah-do". She was diagnosed with anal cancer and she became very brave. She did a documentary about her battle against her cancer. Unforunately, she lost her battle. Farrah was 62 years old.

Michael Jackson (died June 25, 2009, hours after Fawcett)- He was the King Of Pop. Known for selling billions and billions of albums. And was also known for being a little controversial. Michael Jackson was world-famous. His death has shocked the universe. Michael Jackson died of cardiac arrest suddenly, two weeks before starting his tour in England. He left a hole in every fan's soul. Michael was 50 years old.

Billy Mays (died Today, June 28, 2009) He was famously known as "that one OxiClean guy on TV". He was the "Informercial King". Billy Mays did various infomercials such as FixIt, Kaboom, OrangeGlo, Zorbeez, MightyMendit, and others more. Billy Mays died of an unknown cause (as of yet), he was found unresponsive by his wife earlier that morning. No one will see the future of informercials again. Billy was 50 years old.

As we all take a moment of silence, these celebrities have the right to be honored, for all the work they have done to influence our lives and the past forever.

Why I Hate DirecTV

I've had DirecTV since I was in the 7th grade...in which it's where I first tuned in and started watching TWC. THAT was TV then. Today...DirecTV has new recievers, new remotes...the old recievers are pointless now. Here are some reasons why I despise direcTV.

1. On TWC they have your own ZIP Code LF that appears on every LOT8's. But on certain commercial-free events and stuff...you can't seem to exit out of the stupid LF, even if you press "exit" on your remote". You have to wait two minutes for that LF to do it's "bizness".

2. Channels 100-199 are mostly DirecTV channels. They don't have that much Pay-per-view channels than before.

3. I tried the Game Corner. It SUCKS. At first I thought it was free..I ain't paying $5.99 a month for a game.

4. The Music Choices (aka Sirius XM Radio) are confusing...Every single Genre has it's own channel...and most of them are music that I really really really hate.

5. I live near Arizona, and Arizona gets no local channels. I have to hook up a good SD Antenna to watch the local channels here (some local channels are from Los Angeles and San Diego). WTF, no local channels on satellite=no satellite for meh. (as of now I have to buy a converter box to be able to watch my local channels again <_<)

6. The DirecTV guide can't travel past three days...after 5:00 PM the third day it starts saying "TO BE ANNOUNCED".

7. The remote control has pointless buttons. Even if you have an SD reciever, there is no stupid reason to use the PLAY, STOP, REWIND, FAST FORWARD, RECORD, SKIP 30 SECONDS, and GO BACK 30 SECONDS buttons. Why can't they provide an SD remote? Since all you use is the bottom half of the remote. >_>

So...I am definelty considering switching to another provider. It's CrapTV.

Linkin Park-"New Divide"

These are song lyrics to my (and Jesse's) favorite song. :P

I remember black skies
The lightning all around me
I remembered each flash
As time began to blur
Like a startling sign
That fate had finally found me
And your voice was all I heard
Did I get what I deserve?

So give me reason
To prove me wrong
To wash this memory clean
Let the thoughts cross
The distance in your eyes
Give me reason
To fill this hole
Connect the space between
Let it fill up to reach the truth and lies
Across this new divide

There was nothing inside
The memories left abandoned
There was nowhere to hide
The ashes fell like snow
And the ground caved in
Between where we were standing
And your voice was all I heard
Did I get what I deserve?

So give me reason
To prove me wrong
To wash this memory clean
Let the thoughts cross
The distance in your eyes
Across this new divide

In every loss, in every lie
In every truth that you deny
And each regret, and each goodbye
Was a mistake too great to hide
And your voice was all I heard
Did I get what I deserve?

So give me reason
To prove me wrong
To wash this memory clean
Let the thoughts cross
The distance in your eyes

Give me reason
To fill this hole
Connect the space between
Let it fill up to reach the truth and lies
Across this new divide
Across this new divide
Across this new divide…
That I get what I deserve

So give me reason to prove me wrong
To wash this memory clean
Let the floods cross the distance in your eyes
Give me reason to fill this hole
Connect the space between
Let it be enough to reach the truth that lies
Across this new divide

Your (Rock) Music On The 8s.

*And now….your Local On The 8s.*

The music on TWC. Back in the old days it has never changed. Many people enjoyed the smooth jazz music during two minutes before a show segment came on. Back in my old days, when I was a teenager, I never really enjoyed the music...but until March 2003, I heard an awesome song. It was smooth, peaceful, that took me years to look for who it was played by. “Rushing” by Moby was the song.

I have to admit I really do enjoy the smooth sounds of the LF music. I met a friend who is an expert of that kind of music.

BUT…this year, the whole music changed. When NBC purchased TWC, they decided to play music that wasn’t made to be played in the LOT8s. This happened in Mid-April when the decided to extend the March 2009 playlist…just to put “freak music” (in the words of Springy). Some songs in the April-May 2009 playlist were Rock music. For as I’ve heard, there were many disappointing LF music fans.

This month has gotten even worse. They decided to “get rid of the jazz music and add more rock music”. What kind of rock music? That’s how I wondered. If they put like old old old old rock music it’s gonna aggravate me. They might not play “For Real” by Jim Lum or “Rushing” by Moby. Those 2 songs are my favorite so far (oh, and not to mention anything Ryan Farish). I still wonder the rock music part. One time (I hope you guys remember this) they played several LOT8s with vocal music. Nickelback “Far Away”, and Death Cab For Cutie “Soul Meets Body”. I really enjoyed it but it felt weird of them playing vocal music on the LOT8s. (This was in 2007).

Heres my IMO. I have decided to stay neutral on this. I can’t decide and may never be able to decide which side to take. I can’t also have two friends having a different opinion. I mean, I do enjoy rock music, alternative, or indie, but this music that I am hearing is not the rock music I expect to hear on the LOT8s. You are welcome to comment about this but your comments cannot turn me around from being neutral.

Today...they stopped playing the music and turned into "Trammel Starks-a-thon" What is the sign of that?

50 Sxene Facts by Giovanni

I am not an emo bashing on scene kids, because i'm not emo but a person who likes to expose the truth.

I'll admit i have a couple of these qualities, just some not even 3.

You can care less for bands like Killswitch Engage, Chimaira, Burning Skies, Hatebreed, All shall perish, Impending Doom, Winds of Plague becuase they don't look scene but can care for bands like BMTH, the devil Wears Prada, Dr Acula, and Attack Attack! because the people look so fucking scene 39.
