Adam Paranoia - G.T.F.O. (I've got a zombie on my back)

Adam Paranoia is so f*ckin hilarious!



Here we go!

I got a zombie on my back.
Get the fuck off.
I'll deliver him a smack.
His skin is real soft.
Gotta get out of this shit, before I get bit.
I'll have to do it again.
Yeah, I'll do it again. Hoo!

Post apocalyptic East Los Angeles.
Bagged lunch, shot gun's all I need to handle this
Fortified school bus, blood on the grill
Step on the clutch when I'm making the kill.
You think you're ready? Well you're not.
Cuz it's your brain that'll hit the spot.
Watch my back, here we go again.
I'm the king shit of fuck mountain.

[Chorus x2]
I got a zombie on my back.
Get the fuck off.
I'll deliver him a smack.
His skin is real soft.
Gotta get out of this shit, before I get bit.
I'll have to do it again.
I'll have to do it again.

This vaccination nation caused a zombie infestation
without any regulation on Booster Shot X
Dropped first in the high school, second in the medical
center of this deadly shit storm.
Food sold out off the shelves. No satisfaction, bodies rebelled.
Turned to an answer straight from hell.
Little Shop of Horrors rings a bell.

[Chorus X2]
I got a zombie on my back.
Get the fuck off.
I'll deliver him a smack.
His skin is real soft.
Gotta get out of this shit, before I get bit.
I'll have to do it again.
I'll have to do it again.

[Tony Stockert]
Well I'm up to my neck in zombie blood
and I'm just in time cuz there's a fuckin flood
of these undead mother fuckers in Hollywood.
No special effects I think it's understood
that these zombies are the real thing and they will kill you.
They don't even care if you're a christian or a jew.
So welcome mother fuckers to my Temple of Doom.
You see this gun? It's gonna put you in a tomb!

Lou Dawson - "Shudder" (rough clip)

I shuddered to think
Right on the brink
My tears were clean
But through tears you see nothing
So I swallowed everything

Followed my heart till now
Wish I could rip it out
She’s a machine colder than satellites in orbit

Covered in ink
Blood in the sink
Applause and bows
Are lost on me now
I see much clearer how
The show is over

Lou Dawson - "Without You"

It's been too long
Since i could feel your breath on mine
I'm starting to whither
Crumbling softly from the vine
I never knew
I was a addicted
To the drug that you provide
The way i'm missing you
Tears me up inside
I know

I need you now
Need to feel your hand in mine
To bring me home
To make it alright
If you were here
I wouldn't leave you for a day
Because now i know how it feels
Without you
I'm falling
Without you
I won't be the same

You're on a plane now
Heading far away from home
I will stay here
And spend this time alone
It's all for you
This crazy life we're leading
Takes so much to keep the feeling
From hand to heart we're bleeding
All the love we have
I know

I need you now
Need to feel your hand in mine
To bring me home
To make it alright
If you were here
I wouldn't leave you for a day
Because now i know how it feels
Without you
I'm falling
Without you
I won't be the same

Without you i'm falling
Without you i won't be the same
And the pressure builds
Inside my aching soul
But i know
As long as you're living
I will never be alone

I need you now
Need to feel your hand in mine
To bring me home
To make it alright
If you were here
I wouldn't leave you for a day
Because now i know how it feels
Without you
I'm falling
Without you
I won't be the same

Lou Dawson - "Hands and Knees"

Fires, burning embers,
Cold like last December
You were fine
Over time
Try to hide the feeling
But there's no deceiving me this time
My eyes are wide

I know you'll find some reason
To keep this faith alive
But after all the time we've wasted here
We're still on hands and knees

Lost but found in twilight
Where the stars shine so bright
Here we'll rest
Our sins undressed
All our lives spent drowing
As the kings we're crowning seal our fate
And the truth mutates

I know you'll find some reason
To keep this faith alive
But after all the time we've wasted here
We're still on hands and knees

You don't let go

Elliott Yamin: Thankful for what he's got (Daily Yomiuri Online)

From Daily Yomiuri Online:

Elliott Yamin: Thankful for what he's got

Saori Kan Daily Yomiuri Staff Writer

American soul singer Elliott Yamin seems to have been blessed with a natural talent: a distinctive voice that is deep, gentle and merciful.

His self-titled debut album, released in the United States in March last year, will be released in Japan on Wednesday, and has taken its new title from his first single, "Wait For You." The Japanese version includes the original's 11 tracks and two Japan-only bonus tracks. The recording highlights his diverse song styles, including blues, pop, R&B, hip-hop and ballads. The producers include Stargate, the Norwegian production team behind Beyonce's "Irreplaceable" and Josh Abraham, who is better known for working with such hard rock acts as Linkin Park, Slayer and Velvet Revolver.

In the United States, the album debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard Top Independent Albums chart, and it was certified gold--signifying sales of 500,000 units--in the United States in October.

For more than a year before his Japanese debut, the 29-year-old singer built up a fan base as the second runner-up on the 2006 season of American Idol, which was the popular singing contest's first season on Japanese television.

Commenting on his experience on the show, Yamin told The Daily Yomiuri during a promotional tour here in March, "[That was one of] the best things I'd ever done for myself. Getting to work with amazing artists, getting to be around so many other talented people at the same time, I learned so much about the business, about myself and life."

Watching the TV show, he struck me as very low-key, and seemed to lack self confidence early on, although it was clear his voice was something special.

However, week by week, he matured as a performer and eventually was praised by the often critical judges as the most improved performer on the show. Stevie Wonder, too, lauded his vocal talent. Looking back on the experience, Yamin said: "Yes, I had to evolve and grow each week, which was what American Idol is all about. I definitely grew and got confident. Everything that I do now...I'm only confident because of my experience on the show."

Born in July 1978 in Los Angeles to an Israeli of Iraqi descent and an American of German descent, Yamin was raised by his mother following the divorce of his parents. Shortly after his promotional trip to Japan, his mother died.

Yamin, with a history of ear infections in his childhood, underwent eardrum replacement surgery when he was 13, which left him 90 percent deaf in his right ear. At 16, he was diagnosed with Type-I diabetes and has to wear an insulin pump.

Although he has no training, he sang in a jazz group and emulated his favorite singers, including Stevie Wonder and Donny Hathaway. But it was not Yamin's idea to appear on Idol. It was that of his friends. "At the time, I wasn't being productive with the life I had and I wasn't doing positive things. I wasn't very ambitious, and I was kind of stuck in this rut and wasn't going anywhere," Yamin said.

"[But] my friends had a lot more confidence in me than I had in myself. They really pushed me, encouraged me to go and try out for the show," he continued.

Yamin, who now has enough confidence to say, "I want to be successful," is working on his second album, with recording slated to start in June. "We're trying to have more up-tempo songs on the record. You're gonna hear more mature lyrics, I think, as I'm growing as a writer, too," he said.

For the album, he is working again with Stargate, who produced "One Word" and "Wait For You" for his first album. "You have to continue to grow and learn. I think you're gonna see it in my next album," he said.

As a diabetic, Yamin has been acting as spokesman for a variety of diabetics organizations, including the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation. "Being on the show, I made a decision to use my platform, to use my celebrity, to help raise awareness and money for finding a cure. That's important, very important to me."

In March, he got involved in American Idol's "Idol Gives Back," which raises money to support children around the world who are suffering from poverty and disease. Accompanied by Fantasia Barrino, winner of American Idol's third season, Yamin went on a short trip to Angola as a guest of the Malaria No More program to distribute mosquito nets to local villagers. "It was an amazing experience that I got through music. Music is a really powerful thing." The story of the trip was aired during the current season of Idol, which shows on Saturdays at 8 p.m. on FOX.

Talking about his ultimate goal as an artist, Yamin, who will return to Japan later this month for more promotion, said: "I want to sing as long as I have a voice to sing, as long as I can talk. I also want to branch out to do new things...maybe start my own label to discover talent.

"As long as I can make a comfortable living, I'll involve myself in music. There's no better thing in this world," he said with a laugh.

Billboard Japan Hot 100 Finds Global Audience

From Billboard.com:

Billboard Japan Hot 100 Finds Global Audience
May 22, 2008, 12:30 PM ET
Gary Trust, N.Y.

The recently launched Billboard Japan Hot 100 finds a global audience tomorrow (May 22) when the chart joins the menu at Billboard.com and Billboard.biz.

Assembled by Billboard licensee Hanshin Contents Link Corp., the Japan Hot 100 anchors a set of Billboard-branded charts that were first offered Feb. 28 on Web site TSUTAYA Online.

Like Billboard’s signature chart in the U.S., which celebrates its 50th anniversary this year, the Billboard Japan Hot 100 ranks popular singles by tracking both sales activity and radio audience data, incorporating the resources of SoundScan Japan and radio tracking service Plantech.

The chart appears in English on billboard.com and billboard.biz and will update each Thursday when the rest of Billboard's charts are refreshed. As is the case with the Canadian Billboard Hot 100, which launched last summer, billboard.com visitors will have access to all 100 titles on the Japanese chart.

Japan represents the second largest music market in the world, second only to the United States, and is the only country among the leading global markets to see its music business grow in recent years.

Hanshin Contents Link began its relationship with Billboard through the August opening of branded club and restaurant Billboard Live, with locations in Tokyo, Osaka and Fukuoka.

In October, HCL and DWANGO Co. launched the official mobile-based Web site "Billboard Official," which offers downloadable ringtones and full-version downloads.

Alana Grace - "Black Roses Red"

Verse 1:
Can I ask you a question please?
Promise you won't laugh at me
Honestly, I'm standing here afraid I'll be betrayed...
As twisted as it seems
I only feel love when it's in my dreams
so let in the morning the light and let the darkness fade away

Can you turn my black rose red? (x2)

Verse 2:
Drowing in my lonliness
how long must I hold my breath?
All this emptiness inside...I could fill the deepest sea
I reach to the sky as the moon looks on
my one last tear has come and gone
I'm dying to let your love rain down on me...

Can you turn my black roses red? (x3)
Cuz I feel like I've never known love....

Alana Grace - "Cold Day for August"

Verse 1:
Forgotten never forgotten
It’s an early autumn this year
This year

Forgiven all is forgiven
And I’ll remember we were here
Yeah we were here

There was a time when time was all
We had and all we’d ever need

Chorus:
It’s a cold day for August still the sun burns my eyes
As the ashes of summer drift on by, they drift on by
It’s a cold day for August and there’s no turning back
When the fall finally comes it comes too fast, it comes too fast, it comes to

Verse 2:
Frozen I’m frozen
Feels like the end of an age
End of an age
Unfinished …still unfinished
And unwilling to turn the page
I feel betrayed

There was a time when time was all
We had and all we’d ever need

Chorus:
It’s a cold day for August still the sun burns my eyes
As the ashes of summer drift on by, they drift on by
It’s a cold day for August and there’s no turning back
When the fall finally comes it comes too fast, it comes too fast, it comes to

Bridge::
There was a time when time was all
We had and all we’d ever need
You left void a space to fill
It haunts me now…it always will

Alana Grace - "Breaking"

Verse 1:
Try me
Break me and see right through
I’m fragile and brutally true
You hold me and let me go…

Leave me
And see how I stand alone
I’m taking the path unknown
I’m losing control

It’s not the same
No one's to blame

Chorus:
I’m waiting, shaking, faking, breaking, praying, hating
Every time I close my eyes
I’m staring, glaring, tearing, wasting, aching, taking
Cuz my mind won’t let me cry
I’m waiting…

Verse 2:
I see you
In places you’ve never been
I try but I just can't win
You still follow me everywhere

Forgiveness
My weakness and only hope
This emptiness found it's home
I'll go on, I'll live

But I'm alone
I'm all alone

Chorus:
I’m waiting, shaking, faking, breaking, praying, hating
Every time I close my eyes
I’m staring, glaring, tearing, wasting, aching, taking
Cuz my mind won’t let me cry
I’m waiting…

My English Letter for TSM Radio [Show 121& 123]

Here are the recent letters I wrote for Stu Stone's podcast "TSM Radio" at www.tsmradio.com....

Show 121:
Hey guys! It's been a while! How are you all doing? I'm pretty great!! I finally could listen to TSM Radio in my spare time, because I'm not an university student anymore. Last month I was removed from university, as we could not pay for school fees for the last semester. So I had to drop out of school. I still feel sad about this and I cant graduate with my friends. Yes,I had to give up being promoted to the senior. I had a lot of things to do in the senior year - especially attending the English and Spanish speaking contest....Now I'm looking for a job to do the preparation for becoming independent from my family. An old friend of mine called me the other day and she said she would help me with the bookkeeping test. I decided to take the teat in June, so wish me luck! By the way, I watched the "Breathe" music video this week! That was great!! The beat is nice, and it makes us feel like dancing along! I love that kind of music when I want to feel happy. I repeat the song on my computer everyday. One of my myspace friends,Tifa (from Japan),loved it and I guess she is becoming a fan of Stu Stone. I showed her the video of Stu singing, and the one he ate the dog food. She loved it and said Stu is funny. We discussed the music video and we found something that we cannot convince. No offence to the directer, staff, Kaz James, and the casting, but the video was too simple and it can be much much better if they added some more effects. You know "simple is best", I liked it,but it was too simple. we don't like how Kaz looks like he's singing most of it when we know it's Stu!!! What's up with that?! You can tell its Stu's voice!!!! I know it will be on Kaz James album, and probably Stu is one of the guest "featured" artists ("unfortunately" or not?), which is cool. But it could be Stu's solo track also. Once again, I like Breathe and you guys did a great job. But I think Stu should have come to the front more! Thats why I rate 4 out of 5 stars on YouTube! If I had the skills of making video,Stu is the lead singer singing in the club, and Kaz is dJing behind Stu. Everybody is dancing, singing along, breathing with Kaz and Stu. Then everything goes crazy. Don't u think it would be good? It just need more budgets and effects - and a good background. Well, it's just my opinion though. I'll make the screen captures of Breathe music video. If you have seen my myspace default picture, you will know that is from "I'm off my face" part. Thanks for introducing "No Scrubs" on the sunday night stu's '90s special. That was the great idea of celebrating the 90s and watching the great songs I have ever heard or haven't heard. Finally, I can't hate you eventually because I love you guys. When listening to TSM Radio, I think you haven't changed at all. Shout out to everybody! That's all! Good-bye!!


Show 123 [Wrote for Show 122]:
Hey Stu and his funny fellows! Thanks for the good show!! I hope Josh and Little Jamie had a wonderful birthday!! And,Jeff,you must be proud of your son, don't you? A.B.S. does a great job when it comes to the intro every week! The mistake from last weeks intro was very funny. I mean, "122"? Well it's now 122 though! but i liked it. Right now I'm waiting for the call from the staff in the post office. Yes I called in to the office and they told me to wait so that I will be able to take the job interview sometime soon. I've had a short-time job at the same, local post office every New Year's season since high school. I will do my best!! By the way, I have watched Stockam Forever over 50 times. This means I loved it. I think it is so creative, clever, and entertaining. Adam Paranoia and Tony Stockert had a good and hilarious combination in the movie. I couldn't believe Stu and Nick were featured in that movie! I have no idea what kind of roles they had though. Nick's character made me laugh, and Stu's character was all poker-faced, which made me feel terrified a little bit. Stu's acting was very impressive. It was a good chance to know and see some other popular entertainers from Stickam. Also,the content was hilarious because there were clones,"Terminator or Back To The Future Time Travel Rules",etc. What an high-octane, thrill-packed adventure!! One of my favorite scenes were the one they used the camera tripod as the rocket launcher! I felt sad when Stu was shot to death at the end, and I wonder why they had to kill him and who exactly "El Piedra" was. This word "El Piedra" is stuck on my head, 'cause you know I have studied Spanish for two years. "piedra" means "stone" in Spanish! You know many people hated this weeks show because Adam and Tony took over, and they "killed" Stu in the film. I hear some people say "They killed him, you bastards!" But, he's back from beyond the grave! He is a-live! Stu, your new hairstyle looks pretty cool! I think I'm gonna cut my long hair soon!! By the way, Tifa says that she totally loves Stu, since she thinks video of Stu forcing himself to eat dog food was so funny, and she also watched some other videos. Plus she's addicted to his music. She admires your work! I feel happy when I recruit her in this Stu Stone fanbase. Well, I think I'd better close this letter. Sorry it's long. See you guys next Sunday!!

THEIR faces live on in Facebook and other online networking sites, reminders of the terrible human toll of Thursday's harbour tragedy.

It has emerged that survivor Michael Tsimnadis was a close friend of Alex Nikakis, 30, and helped Nikakis, known to his friends as Pondy, celebrate his brother Julian's bachelor party at the races in March.

Photographs on Mr Nikakis's social networking profile show the pair enjoying a sunny day at the races to celebrate his brother's upcoming nuptials.

"It's going to take me a while to figure out that I can't just pick up the phone; I miss you and hope that you're in a better place," friend Rebecca Jones wrote on the profile. "Thanks for always being there and always being you. You'll always be remembered. RIP."

Tommy Watson wrote: "Go well Pondy ... Look after Stace. Balmain won't be the same without you two."

Another friend, Adam Michael Hynes, wrote: "You will be loved forever in our hearts and always remembered in our minds. What else can one say at a time like this ... I'll miss ya heaps."

Facebook Murder

FROM Sydney Morning Herald:

Facebook murder rocks 'perfect little family'

Daniel Emerson
May 5, 2008 - 10:33AM

A jealous husband is believed to have murdered the mother of their two children and then killed himself after she told the world via Facebook that they were splitting up, London's Daily Mail reports.

The body of Tracey Grinhaff was found in a shed in the back garden of her home in Wombwell, near Barnsley, South Yorkshire, while her husband's remains were discovered in nearby woodland.

Investigations revealed Mrs Grinhaff, 42, died from head injuries while her husband, 41-year-old electrical engineer Gary Grinhaff, died from self-inflicted head wounds.

Mrs Grinhaff updated her profile on the popular social networking site about a fortnight ago and told friends she was "currently splitting", from her husband.

"Been together for 16 years but together for 26!!!! God that makes me sound old," she wrote of her relationship with her husband.

The Daily Mail reported that neighbours in the town, where the couple lived with their two daughters aged 14 and four, described them as "the perfect little family".

But others hinted that Mr Grinhaff had recently discovered that his wife was having an affair.

Julie Kendall, 38, a woman who became friends with Mrs Grinhaff at a local mothers and toddlers group four years ago was quoted as saying: "I didn't really know her husband, but I do think it's true that they were splitting up."

She described her friend as "genuine, caring and kind" and said: "There are probably a handful of people that you would meet like Tracey in one lifetime. You couldn't fault her for anything."

Enid Hindley, who lived two doors away from the Grinhaff family since they moved in more than 18 years ago, was quoted as saying: "It's just devastating. Everybody's talking about it. Everybody's in a state of shock.

"It's just one of those things that you would never expect."

Police arrested a neighbour who discovered the bodies on suspicion of murder early in the investigation but later released him without charge.

Investigators have said they are not looking for anyone else in connection with the deaths.

Golden Week and The Econimic Struggles

In Japan, there are holidays that last from the end of April to early May. Those several days are called "The Golden Week," and many people go traveling. This year it lasts from April 28 to May 5. During this holiday week, there are some national holidays of Japan.

April 29 - Day of Showa [the newest national holiday since 2007. It was Greenery Day until 2006. April 29 was The Showa Emperor(1927-1988)'s birthday.]
May 3 - 憲法記念日 (Constitution Memorial Day)
May 4 - みどりの日(Greenery Day)
May 5 - こどもの日 (Children's Day)
May 6 - みどりの日の振替休日(The day to honour Greenery Day)


I hate those terrible things happening to Japan!

so damn expensive taxes,
the rise in the price of foods,
the price of crude oil gettin high,
provisional tax rate comes again,
economies of scale will be small.

All of us juggle household expenses to make ends meet!
A lot of people go abroad on a holiday season because they have time and money to go there. What the f***!! There are good places in Japan!

I want to move to abread if I earn a lot of money someday...

Stockam Forever Cast Introduction

This is the video I made for Stockam Forever....

Stockam Forever

Stickam's second short-film "Stockam Forever", the sequal of "Stickam: Hostile Takeover", is up on YouTube now. This is one of the weirdest but funniest films ever!!

Cool,funny,hilarious quotes:

John Hock:[To girls]"(Are) you ready to suck some dicks?"

Kiki Cannibal: "Are we doing "Terminator or Back To The Future time rules"?

"I think I shall pass on the good word."

Tony Stockert: [To his clones] Speaking of which, I was taking a dumb earlier, and I was thinking: If you guys f*cked, you wouldn't be gay at all. I mean, you are all the same guy. It would be just the masturbation."

Adam Paranoia: Freeze, cocksuckers! I swear to God you taint licking sons of cunts,if you move one goddamn inch!

______________________________

Stu Stone:"I delivered the Lush. When do I get paid?"

Adam Paranoia:"Oh, you are the one who's gonna pay.... El Piedra."

Stu Stone:"El Piedra? Nobody has called me that in twenty years."

Tony Stockert:"And nobody else will."

[Tony and Adam shoot Stu many times. Stu falls down to the sofa.]

Adam Paranoia:"You think he's dead?"

Tony Stockert:"I don't know."

[Tony shoots him to death twice]

Tony Stockert:"Oh yeah, he's totally dead."

From now on, I will start a new life.

What am I doing now?

I had to drop out of university in April 2008 because my family could not pay for school fees anymore + I was already removed from university at the early of March.

My mother kept apologizing to me, and telling me to give up being promoted to be a senior, although I had enough grades to graduate from university!!

I'm still shocked,sad, but try to get over it now. I miss professors, friends, classmates I've met, and the good and bad days I have spent for three years of university. I regret that I did not try to change my character so early.....and meet a lot of people. I realized I've shuted out so many chances by myself.

Now I am "unfinished undergraduate degree" in my current resume.

An old friend of mine called me the other day and she said she will be helping me with the bookkeeping test. She will give me her old textbook, teaching me about bookkeeping. I decided to take the bookkeeping test in June. I truly thank her for helping me!

It is so hard for me to find a job. But!!

I will keep on working,studying, and..... smiling.

My goal is to make a living and live my own life for the future. YOU'LL SEE!!!!

Kaz James' myspace looks so great now! woohoo!!! Check out his profile!!
www.myspace.com/kazjames

From his myspace bulletin:

Hi guys,

Kaz has been in Australia for about a week after a killer live set in Miami, rocking out tracks from the new album with Macy Gray and Stu Stone.

He's currently working hard to finish the album, and you'll hear more very soon - stay tuned on myspace for footage of the Miami set with the new tracks.

Peace
Kaz and team

Also, "Breathe" (Thomas Gold Remix) is on One Love's winning series of popular dance compilation "ONE LOVE SOUND MACHINE" now!!

"Breathe"

Kaz James (from Bodyrockers)'s solo single "Breathe"(feat. Stu Stone) is now available online at beatport.com! You can download the original mix and the four remixes (including the massive Thomas Gold Remix) on this digital download service of ONE LOVE AUSTRALIA. Kaz James is currently working on his first solo album which is scheduled to be the release later this year.

The first single from the album is the irrepressible and uncontainable club hit “Breathe” featuring the vocals of LA rapper/actor Stu Stone, who Kaz met whilst in the States working on the new album. The single - already a 1 Aria Club track, and featuring a video by international film director Fred Schepisi – sets up the album with a sexy and defiant edge that challenges listeners and dancefloor freaks to an infectious assault on their senses. As Kaz says, “It’s electro, it’s hip hop, it’s rock – it’s everything all thrown in together”, and by the time you work out what’s going on, you’ve been KO’d, with a delirious sense of adrenalin pounding through your veins.

The movie I used to love....

What Is Your Inner Child?

Your Inner Child Is Surprised

You see many things through the eyes of a child. Meaning, you're rarely cynical or jaded. You cherish all of the details in life. Easily fascinated, you enjoy experiencing new things.

How Is Your Inner Child?

What Kind of Soul Are You?

You Are a Seeker Soul

You are on a quest for knowledge and life challenges. You love to be curious and ask a ton of questions. Since you know so much, you make for an interesting conversationalist. Mentally alert, you can outwit almost anyone (and have fun doing it!). Very introspective, you can be silently critical of others. And your quiet nature makes it difficult for people to get to know you. You see yourself as a philosopher, and you take everything philosophically. Your main talent is expressing and communicating ideas. Souls you are most compatible with: Hunter Soul and Visionary Soul

March is the unlucky month to me!

So far....

1. I'm removed from university because I didn't pay for the school fees.

2. We are run out of money so we gotta be in dept to the bank for about 500,000 yen (hopefully)..... I should have get the long-term part-time job to earn some money to pay for. I always got the short-term job, and all of the pays I've earned became the cost of living, for for the personal cost.

3. I couldn't go to the Narita International Airport to see Elliott Yamin on March 24th.

4. It seems I'm an outsider of every Elliott Yamin fan communities. The place is nice, but for some reason, I can't get along with the members..... many of them are huge fans and know about Elliott so much, and new Japanese members are very good at English and can comminicate with people. But me? I'm not cooperative! That is why some people ignores me or do not like my comment. I'm not a fan of his, but I like his music and am interested in it. I'll buy his CD in May if the Japan edition is released. Maybe it was right I should not go to the airport on Monday. But everytime I watch the video of Elliott's arrivals (his manager is with him by the way),I feel frustrated! They were too lucky!! Should I not be in the fan communities just because I'm not a fan yet?

5. I didn't pass my first job interview. This is the second company I couldn't pass.

Since I have removed from university:
I haven't got the report card for the last semester.
I couldn't say goodbye to Mr. Irie who retired from university last week.... He teached "Internet English" and he teached us about how to create blogs, how to write English e-mails, how to search stuff in English,etc.
I can't go to the job department of university.... I'm working on job hunting but it does not work very well recently. I should do more practice for job interview!

Song: Among The Dead
from Plane Dead Movie aka flight of the living dead opening credit
Singer: Shayna Zaid
Compose by: Bill Grainer

My flesh and bone
Not my own
You have changed me to my core.

Took control of my soul
I am not me anymore
I'm gone
Now you live on

I, I'm among the dead
Blood dont reach my head
Suffering what you made me become.
Seepin in my skin
Darkness deep within
Can I come back from among the dead?

I, I'm among the dead
Blood dont reach my head
Suffering what you made me become
Seepin in my skin
Darkness deep within.
Bring me back from among the dead.

It's time to start again.

Everyone at the Internet English Class created their own English blog last year, but now, it seems nobody will use the blog anymore. This blog was the first English blog for the Class at university. I haven't updated this blog for a long time as well. Although I have been busy with job hunting, I decided to write the English blog again. It doesn't have anything to do with the class though. And I guess keep writing will be a good thing to improve my English.

I have changed the blog title, layout, page elements, and blog header. The title used to be "Making Memories", which was also the title of The Mars Patrol's new EP, but I changed it to "No Music, No Life". Simply because I love music!! :)

Hope you'll like them!
