The Bucket List

If you've seen the movie the Bucket List, you'll probably have thought about a few things you normally wouldn't.
For those of you that haven't seen it and don't know what it's about...
Jack Nicholas and Morgan Freeman play two terminally ill men, about to set out on one last joyride. They have a list of all the things they want to do before their inevitable death. From seeing the Great Pyramids of Egypt, to taking a spin on the race track, the impossible becomes reality.
Really a good movie. Horribly depressing in the beginning, more so, I'd think, for people who've known people in the hospital, but hysterical all the way through.
So, just because the movie really should make you think [if it doesn't, there's clearly something wrong with you] I've decided to create my own version.
No, not of the movie. Idiot. The list.
Yes. The list.
Shh. I know it's cheesy. Go away.
Regardless of how unimportant one thing may seem to one person, it can be the total opposite to someone else. My entire list may seem pitiful to you, and your's to me. But then, see, MY list isn't what YOU want to do before you die, eh?
Granted, I'll probably change my mind about some, or just change some, but for now, this is how it goes.

The Bucket List
1.) See Italy, Australia
2.) See as many of my favorite bands as possible in concert.
3.) Get my earrings, lip ring.
4.) See the Yankees play [Damn them for tearing down Yankee Stadium before I got the chance to see them there.]
5.) Learn drums, piano, guitar [1 or all]
6.) Tell everyone I know exactly how I feel about them.
7.) Drive the Porshe 911 Turbo. In canary yellow.
8.) Write my book[s]
9.) Make people think
10.) Meet as many of my friends as possible.

Small list. But making a longer one would make me a kind of busy little person.
Oh and just for the record, I'm not dying. Just getting a head start.

Merry Christmas to us, Merry Christmas to us...

So we knew everything we were getting, my whole family had a cold, we had my grandparents over for dinner, and that was more or less it. Was still fun though.
Now the list, because you know you want to know. Even though I'm sure most of you already do.

Six DAYYYYYS and various depressing things.

WEEWEECHU A MERRY CHRISTMAS....
Yeah.

Six days till Christmas.
Excitement.
And if you're not excited.....I'm just going to assume you celebrate something other than Christmas, and you're excited for that.
SO.
Everyone knows about Christmas, and there's really not too much to explain there...
In which case, on to the depressing things.

First, the obvious one I'm sure everyone's heard of by now.
I'm not going to go and explain the entire Casey Anthony thing, unless you're confused about it. Assuming everyone DOES know what I'm talking about, it's safe to think that most of you have heard that the authorities are more or less sure they've found Caylee's body, less than a mile from her grandparent's house. [Granted they aren't specifically saying they believe it, but everyone does. Except maybe the slightly insane grandmother.]
Not fun, horribly sad, the entire ordeal. But it's about time the poor kid has some sort of proper funeral, and so that the rest of us can get on with our lives as well. Poor Caylee, poor Florida. Poor world, actually, the way this thing's on the news.
In my house, my dad insists that Casey deserves the electric chair. Which, granted, she does. But my mom and I think it would be worse for her if she had to stay in jail for the rest of her life. Death is nothing when you can't go out partying every night.
Sad sad sad. Poor kid.

And in other depressing news.
My mom's friend's mother died yesterday.
She was battling lymphoma. Which, coincidentally, is what my neighbor had before he died. Not a pleasant thing to go through. There's going to be a service for her at a Church on Saturday, so we'll be going to that.
And I'm thinking I may have to talk my parents into letting me have a few Christmas presents early, because if I don't I'm not sure I'll find anything in my closet that's anywhere near church-acceptable.
Typical .

Crazy Covers and Creativity Chaos

So I'm a little irritated.
Yeah yeah, it's music related. Duh.
You have the band Hollywood Undead, who're ridiculously huge now. Why? Because of the song they have blowing up on the radio stations.
Called Undead.
Yeah.
'Undead' by Hollywood Undead.
Reaaaallyy original, guys. Wicked awesome song though.
Then there's the band Another Black Day.
Who, coincidentally has a song called, uhm, Another Black Day.
WHERE IS THE CREATIVITY?

Anyway.
I'm also a little amazed at some covers.
Like 'Going Back to Cali' from LL Cool J. It was covered by Sevendust. Awesome cover.
And a slightly newer one; Lollipop from Lil' Wayne. [Yeah, I know. The song title is exactly what you're thinking it is. You perv.]
This one's covered by Framing Hanley. And personally I've come to be a little obsessed with this band recently.

So.
There it is.

And then there were three.

New blog
http://www.paintednailsandrainbowsocks.blogspot.com/
Yeah, I know the link's a mouthful [uh, handful?] Sorry. Blogger's a little picky in it's naming of things that already exist, and I hate using a different URL than the blog name. So maybe I'm the picky one.
In any case, if you haven't already heard, this one's simply creative writing. Whatever pops into my head, in that area. So beware for severely mediocre work there. Oh well. It's better than smashing things when I get upset, right?
If you can be bothered to check, I suggest checking the very first post first. After that, the posts are more or less in order by date, from the earliest, and it doesn't matter in which way you read them.
That's all.

And....cut.

So NaNoWriMo's over.
I only got up to about 13,000 words.
Oh well, next year.
In any case, the story is not stopping because November's over, so too bad.
There is something else coming up though.
In April, Script Frenzy starts. It's a challenge to write a script [or 100 pages] in thirty days. [This is where April comes in.]
The adult site is for ages 13 and up, the Youth Writer Program is for anyone 12 and under.
The link, for anyone interested, is here; http://www.scriptfrenzy.org/
I don't think I'll be doing this one, myself, but it depends what's happening in April. Shall have to wait and see.

Well then.

...

So I really don't have anything to say.

Yes, I know. I'm horrifically boring. Sorry.

Thinking, thinking....

Ah. I painted more things in my room. Like this;

Opinions?

UNLEASH.
