Today has been one of the worst days ever. It started out pretty well, with just a few doubts and upsetting thoughts. Then I got to study hall. My friend was talking to his brother, who I'm in a tiff with because he thinks I talk shit about his girlfriend. I also really like this boy. Me and the boy in study hall were being bitches to each other like we usually do, and apparently he texted his brother saying something along the lines of "Kat is such a bitch". Only he probably spelled everything wrong because they're both fucking stupid. He showed me his brother's reply "ino spit in her hair for me". WTF??? This after I wrote him a not apologizing and asking if we could be cool again. Well I started crying, and of course being surrounded by a bunch of boys, had no sincere attempt at helping. I mean, 2 of them were trying to make me laugh so I suppose that's as sincere as it gets. The one who showed me the text message was just like "oh wow, I didn't think it would upset you that much". Well, obviously it did.
Then I have a class with the brother who would like for someone to spit in my hair. Now, I'm sure that the little wretch in my study hall would have told his brother at least a little bit of what happened. But the brother didn't do jack shit. He didn't try to talk to me, he didn't even look at me. I've come to the conclusion that he's one of the most immature, self-reightous people I have ever met. He thinks he's the shit. Guess what? Your boots were only cool in the 90s and you look like hell with that haircut. Also, your girlfriend is a slutty bitch. So there you go.

Oi...
What a day it has been! Oi is the only appropriate word to describe it. So, I woke up to a snow day, go figure. It's January in Cleveland, it's pretty much a give-in. But the snow just kept falling. My father got stuck in the driveway and had to dig himself out to get into the garage. Thanks to the city for not plowing the fucking roads! It sucks because I really want some Caribou coffee, but there's absolutely no way anyone is going out in this shit. Especially because my car fishtails like a beast.On a different note, happy birthday to Jackson Pollack! I really don't understand why people hate him so much. I would love to walk on my paintings and spill coffee and vodka and cigarette ashes on them. How sweet. I always defend him. People don't make sense. Not liking Jackson Pollack is like not liking life. How sad.
I got this new thing where I say "straight up" a lot. More than it should be used. I don't know why, I just started saying it and it stuck. It's such an old phrase and I feel it's getting annoying. Oh well.
I had to start using myspace again. I know, right? It's so old. But certain people who refuse to use facebook just gotta keep up their myspaces. Meaning the only way to inter-communicate with them is through the horrificnessnicity that is Myspace. But hey, it's better than the new hip internet connection that is Twitter. WTF? I don't know about you, but I think that sounds mighty dirty. It's ridiculous on top of it. I don't understand it at all. I made an account, but promptly deleted it. Let's end this trend before it catches on.
Who likes the Ting Tings? Me! Damn this past weekend. My friend played "Great DJ" for me and it was all over. What a fabulous album.
My love for Frank Iero is rekindled in the new Leathermouth album. I got it on Monday (thank you online shopping). It's a beautiful piece of post-hardcore whatnot. Lovies, listen to it. I usually don't go for any hardcore except Black Flag. Changed that pretty quickly.
Shit son. Funky day.
I'm gonna post my favorite CD's/Albums!!!
I can't post this anywhere else and not be mocked or teased. So I'm gonna put it here! Aren't you all so lucky....
1.Nirvana-Nevermind: I know it's cheesy, but this is the album that really got me into music in general. They're my favorite band of all time, because it's music that will stand the test of time. Every song on this album is amazing (as are all of their songs in general). I can never turn it off mid-album, and every time a song from this album comes up on my Itunes shuffle, I have to listen to it.
2.The Velvet Underground and Nico-(obviously)The Velvet Underground and Nico: What a classic fucking album. Truly a triumph of the age, and of forever. The lyrics and the music mingle together so beautifully. Songs like "Heroin" will make you cry. Granted, I started listening to VU because I wanted to have more in common with a certain guy...but it was one of the most lasting and best guy-based decisions ever.
3.Yeah Yeah Yeahs-Fever to Tell: This is the album that gets me pumped! If I'm gonna go to a show or be in a play, chances are I'm at least listening to the first half of this album. It's so full of energy, and Karen O is the fucking shit. Also, when I'm feeling more chill, there's always "Maps" or "Modern Romance" or even "Y Control". Funny thing is, when I first got this album, I didn't listen to it. For at least 2 years. And then I went back and listened to it and was blown away. And I have their whole released catalog. After listening to Isis I'm uber excited for a new album. Soon? Please?
4.Placebo-Meds: The album of all my insecurities and faults. Brian Molko is so amazingly in tune with his emotions, and it shows. Everything he says is so true. "Drag" is my fucking theme song. He sings what I feel, and I couldn't be happier about it.
5.My Chemical Romance-Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge: Don't hate. They're a really great band. When they first got big, I acted like a couldn't stand them. But I've actually always really loved this band. Their music is so diverse and they grow from album to album. Now they're on like, hiatus or something, and it's pissing me off. Come on boys! Get that shit together! But at least we have Leathermouth to tide us over.
6.The Beatles-Anything they've ever done. Ever: I grew up on the Beatles, but hey, who didn't? Rubber Soul was always my favorite. I love all the albums. Recently I've been uber digging Revolver. There's just something about the sitar and the real hippie earthy vibe that gets me. When I listened to LOVE I was shocked because it was really good! Who knew that a revised Cirque De Soleil version of classic Beatles could be so awesome? I didn't.
7.Nirvana-Unplugged, Live in New York: This is the perfect Unplugged set. It's the Unplugged set to which all others are compared. The funeral set up perfectly defined the night, and it served sort of as Kurt's requium(sp?). The music lent itself beautifully to the unplugged, slowed down atmosphere, which no one could have predicted given what Nirvana were known for. And the special guest appearance by the Meat Puppets was perfect. Plus, it made a whole lot more people know who the Meat Puppets were.
8.Lou Reed-Transformer: I'm vicious. I'm gonna walk on the wild side. I'm gonna have a New York telephone conversation. I'm gonna be so free. This album made me want to be everything that Lou was talking about! It cemented in my mind my college choice and the decision to go to New York (yes, I've been before. yes, I loved it). Lou Reed is even better than Brian Molko when it comes to saying what everybody feels and wants and needs and has or doesn't have. He's truly timeless, despite the fact that he's a total asshole. Even though all his albums are different, they're all good in their own way. Oh, and he totally pwns the shit out of Bob Dylan any day. Quote me on that.
9.Black Angels-Passover: Hey! It's a quite new band! Who would have guessed? Anyways, their classic 60's style and vibe totally makes them a band to watch out for. It can chill you out and pick you up and make you remember that horrible war. (One of the songs is called "Young Men Dead" and the next song is even more specifically about the Vietnam war). Fantastic job. Fantastic album.
10.David Bowie-The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars: Hellz yesh. I love Ziggy. This album is an uber classic. It is straight up one of the best Bowie albums. It's a rock opera. It's a stage show. It's everything. Bowie is one of the singularly most fabulous men ever to walk the planet. Don't believe me? Listen to this album, then watch Labyrinth. Do it.
11.dada-Puzzle: Oh my gosh, why don't people know about this band? Now, my father was the person who got me into music, and this is one of the bands that I have to tribute to him. If he hadn't went through his dada phase (yes, uncapitalized), then I wouldn't have ever know about their existence. The album is so all over the place, but in a good way. Top song is definitely "Dim", with "Dizz Knee Land" following close behind. Buy it.
12.Modern Lovers-S/T: My friend burned it for me. Thank the lord that he did! Jonathan Richman's voice is so relaxed, he doesn't even sing, he sort of talks his lyrics over a straight up post punk instrumental. This band is so good, even MIA sampled their lyrics. The thing is, most people know the song "Roadrunner", they just don't know who it's by. Guess what? It's by the Modern Lovers. Good luck finding it. Seriously. Good luck.
13.MIA-Kala: She's kind of the new Madonna. Only much, much better. Her samples and dance music are one-of-a-kind. Everyone now officially loves "Paper Planes", and with good reason. She's fierce! Her style cannot be copied, mostly because if anyone else dressed like her they'd be committed. This album will make you dance, even if you hate dancing. I know I do.
14.Smashing Pumpkins-Gish: Oh greatness, thy name is Billy Corgan! Even though you're a psycho control freak, you make damn good music. The whole Smashing Pumpkins catalog is great, well, until you get to Zeitgeist. That's a pretty average album punctuated by a few brief glimmers of awesome. ("Starz"!)
15.Neutral Milk Hotel-In the Aeroplane over the Sea: This album is one of the most amazing album of the past decade. If you don't know this band, buy this album now! Not only will you be completely blown away by the music, but your street cred will rise exponentially. Every song is amazing, including the instrumental tracks. The music might be a little weird and hard to get if you have a more mainstream pallette, but give it a try. Trust me.
Well, I'm done. And it only took me forever. I have so much music that picking 15 favorite albums is truly a daunting task. Now, I like the whole catalog by all of the artists on here. So if I said I liked "Fever to Tell", I mean that I also like "Show Your Bones" and "Isis". The only reason they aren't listed is because that would make this a really fucking long list.
