When the fuck was the last time I made a post?
I honestly don't know cause I'm just too lazy to check, and it's un-needed to know anyways.
What I've been up to these few months?
Finding out more music, books and other things that people usually think are a waste of money and shit but I totally love them.
And wasting my unlimited amount of time on them.
What sort then?
1. Fight Club.
2. Invisible Monsters
3. Paramore
And explain more to these things than their mere images?
1. Fight Club
The first rule of Fight Club is, you do not talk about Fight Club.
The second rule of Fight Club is, you DO NOT talk about Fight Club.
If someone says stop, goes limp, taps out, the fight is over.
Two guys to a fight.
One fight at a time.
No shirts, no shoes.
Fights will go on as long as they have to.
If this is your first night at Fight Club, you have to fight.
Familiar?
Maybe. Maybe not.
Maybe some assholes out there would've read the book or seen the movie.
Or maybe not.
I knew I didn't.
Until I heard Panic! At The Disco sing some random shit about make up.
They were singing about Invisible Monsters by Chuck Palahniuk.
And Motion City Soundtrack had a song called Monstres Invisible.
And it's also based on invisible monsters.
So I was like :" Hey... Why the heck is there so many people worshipping this Chuck dude?"
And I did some information research and got myself his debut novel, Fight Club.
And I was totally blow away.
Why?
Palahniuk himself gives a much simpler assertion about the theme of the novel, stating "all my books are about a lonely person looking for some way to connect with other people."
That just hit home. Totally.
Okay now, a short sypnosis of the book from my point of view.
This is a story told by an un-named narrator. Just the average run of the mill middle age dude that hates his job, himself, his life, and practically almost everything.
He suffers from insomnia, which is the inability to fall asleep or remain awake for a reasonable amount of time, and thus visits a doctor to get pills and medication to get off temporary of this hell hole which he describes as
"When you have insomnia, you're never really asleep... and you're never really awake."
I'll personally describe it as "You're alive but it feels as if you're dead".
(I've heard it somewhere, but I just can't remember for the moment. Maybe it was from the book Fight Club, but since I've lent it to a friend and I only got the movie to compensate for everything it had, I can't check.)
But the doctor refuses to give him medication.
"Hey, come on, I'm in pain."
And the doctor just replies: " You wanna see pain? Swing by First Methodist Tuesday nights, see the guys with testicular cancer. That's pain.
So he just goes along.
And at Remaining Men Together (That's the name of the group of guys without balls.), he meets and befriends Bob. Bob. Bob had bitch tits.
Seeing people at such a saddening state, he just can't help but breakdown.
And that night, he's finally able to sleep.
"That was freedom. Losing all hope was freedom"
And he was addicted. (Addicted like Amy Winehouse to coke and booze.)
Addicted to joining these support groups even though he doesn't really have a chronic disease. (Not counting insomnia even though he has suffered from it for 6 months [which can be scientifically counted as a chronic sleeping disorder] because he has been suffering from... something else... [When you see the movie or read the book you'll see what he's also suffering from, now this disorder plays a big part in the whole plot])
But that not all isn't it?
He meets Marla. Marla Singer. Marla's also just "visiting".
The person that reminds him he is just a tourist. Reminds him that he is just visiting.
This person also make him unable to cry, thus make him unable to sleep.
And then a lot of screwed up random shit goes on and in the end no matter what, Fight Club will still continue.
If you haven't seen this video, your life is not fully complete.
So what the hell you waiting for? Click the damn triangle.
2. Invisible monsters.
I'm not going to sypnosise this.
It's gonna take too much damn work. And I don't really have an idea on how to explain a girl on a roadtrip with another girl called Brandy with her ex-boyfriend in the car trunk. And there's surgery and make up too.
Did you know that changing male hands to female hands are the only anatomy of the human body that surgery is unable to change?
And that creating half a mouth if someone shot your jaw off needs to cut off skin from the neck and bones from the ass?
I bet you your ass bone that if you aren't a surgeon and you haven't read the book you didn't know.
3. Paramore.
Paramore...
is a pop rock band.
is girl fronted.
has 4 members.
just released an album a few months back name RIOT!
has really quite good music.
Okay, I heard Paramore about 1 and a half year ago. I ignored them.
Why? Because I was lazy.
About 3 months ago I checked out their Misery Business video, and I was hooked.
Well now not really, I got kinda bored actually.
Guess it always happens.
(I kinda really like Cobra Starship now and I think I'm gonna love them for a while since their sound is really new. They blend party hits with rock. Which I think is really rare.)
Anyways, the main reason I like Paramore is because Hayley (the vocalist) has really strong vocals and she sounds really good live. Strong vocals on females are kinda rare and I think it really suits rock music.
So it's a great combination.
And that's all I have from spending almost 3 months under a rock.
And oh yeah, I made orange cupcakes. They kick ass. I'll post the pics of them tomorrow.
And they taste like a Chuck Palahniuk book.
Which is amazing.
