Leland saw The Lovely Bones
Thursday, January 28th, 2010Jared Leto your talent….
Friday, January 15th, 2010….continues to amaze me. Seriously.
I just hate the fact that you’re not that good live. And i’m not saying the music or your voice, because you guys sound EXACTLY like your albums, but for some reason you are just more focused on having the crowd singing your songs. And I dont mean like just the popular parts of popular songs or just the popular songs in general, but the 3 times I saw you guys (all Free!) you were trying to get the crowd to sing like ALL your songs. And especially all the parts of songs I wanted to see you sing.
So it’s not like I said that your sound is horrible live, it’s just that you seem to be more distracting with boosting your ego then giving the crowd their money’s worth.
I of course have seen you 3 times and luckily didn’t have to pay for any of them, one of which I was snuck into and was probably my favorite show of ya’lls because we ended up doing what me & my friends call the “Congo Line with Jared Leto”.
No shit.
We did a fucking congo line with Jared Leto.
True Story.
Anyways after the last show I saw you guys live, I kinda forgot about you and to be honest was hoping you’d go back into movies, because I was a fan of your acting first, but then of course I second guessed myself when you guys released From Yesterday, cuz omg are you delicious in that fucking video. Then after that I didn’t hear anything from you guys.
Then this fucking video comes into my life because of @kimvi and no lie this song has been on fucking repeat the last few days, it’s ridiculous.
First of all I heard about this song & video from my friend Courtney a few weeks ago, cuz she had asked me if I heard it and just pretty much down played the whole song, saying how his hair is fucking weird in the video and they’re riding bikes. Yea the way she described it sounded like he had gone off the deep end, but let me tell you….
…I watched it and just the first few seconds sounds of epicness.
Needless to say I caught myself almost crying during the part with the horse running and just the ending where everyone was singing together.
It’s a very uplifting sounding song, with the chanting with everyone at the beginning and end, the guy getting hit by a car but then getting back up. It’s almost like a theme song for being the kings & queens of our own destiny once the darkness has set in on our lives.
It’s really hard to explain, but it’s fucking deep and I get it.
Touche Leto, I applaud you once again.
One request though, if I buy a ticket, being the first time purchasing a ticket to see you, would you please fucking sing this song yourself, except of course the chanting parts, i’ll understand that.
thanks <3
Kings & Queens
by 30 Seconds To Mars
Into the night Desperate and broken The sound of a fight Father has spoken.
We were the kings and queens of promise We were the victims of ourselves Maybe the children of a lesser god Between heaven and hell, Heaven and hell.
Into your eyes Hopeless and taken We stole our new lives Through blood and pain In defense of our dreams In defense of our dreams
We were the kings and queens of promise We were the victims of ourselves Maybe the children of a lesser god Between heaven and hell, Heaven and hell.
The age of man is over The darkness comes and all These lessons that we've learned here Have only just begun
We were the kings and queens of promise We were the victims of ourselves Maybe the children of a lesser god Between heaven and hell.
We are the kings We are the queens We are the kings We are the queens
Into your eyes....hopeless & taken.
P.S. – Aint he PURDY?!
I made a wallpaper.
Thursday, January 14th, 2010Well a Twitter wallpaper and it’s only cuz my friend Nikki (@dcdazzlesme) asked me too, but I think it turned out pretty good, it’s for the movie Remember Me.
It probably looks plain as hell, but there’s a repeating pattern because that’s where your twitter page goes over it at. If you wanna test it out on your twitter page, just right click on the link below and choose ’save target as..’.

The Lovely Bones
Thursday, January 14th, 2010
This past Saturday, Katie & me were at the mall picking up some stuff for a few gifts she’s making for someone special in her life (please dont ask) when as we were walking across one of the intersections in the mall I noticed 2 or 3 girls with ‘The Lovely Bones’ tshirts on.
Totally ignoring what Katie was talking about, I picked up my speed and walked straight up to one lady since the other lady we walked by looked at me, snarled and pretty much jumped in front of a couple to talk to them. I went up to this other lady and before she could say anything I said, “yes i would like whatever it is you have.”
Which made her laugh and she was like ‘you would like tickets?’ and I pointed at her shirt and was like “To that….yes I would.” She then proceeded to give us instructions on how to obtain free tickets to see The Lovely Bones before it came out.
Yea so tonight was the free screening of The Lovely Bones (even though we showed up Monday for it, since she told us that, but that was totally wrong) and with as much hype as this movie is getting we decided to go almost 2 hours ahead of time in case there was a line. Which of course when we got there we felt dumb for doing so because we were like 6th in line when we showed up (which ended up being an hour before the movie started instead of the 2 we had planned on).
I pretty much was nervous as hell up until we got into the actual theater because we seemed to be the only people in line that DIDN’T have a ticket. The lady we talked to in the mall told us we were gonna be on a list, but we got in with no problems, thank god.
The people running it had a mini fight with the girl next to us because she was saving a seat for someone that went to the bathroom, but of course the 2 people arguing were too dumb to realize what the other one meant *shakes head*
After they teased us with walking in with a shitload of shirts………..for like a Q&A they usually do before a screening………they walk right back out.
No Q&A.
No Free Lovely Bones Shirts.
>:o
Whatever I got over it since this screening actually had a preview, which turned out to be Shuttle Island, one of Leo’s new movies. And that was the only trailer, which I made the comment, “Yea that’s all you really need.”
Movie started after that, so I put my game face on and tried to remember how the book went. I read the book like 2 or 3 years ago, before they had announced they were making it a movie, so I knew the main plot to it, but some of the details of the book I just couldn’t remember.
Needless to say, it didn’t even fucking matter, because the movie is good………..like really good.
The Lovely Bones is about a 14 year old girl, Susie Salmon who gets murdered on her way home from school. The book is told from her POV and the movie beautifully portrays Susie being stuck between Heaven & Earth as she tries to somehow help her family cope with her murder & catch her murderer.
One of my major pet peeves with movies is having to pay to see a movie that is getting SO MUCH FUCKING HYPE. It always feels like I’m jumping on a bandwagon, so when I get wind of a free screening for a movie that is getting huge hype I jump on it.
With Lovely Bones I actually really wanted to see it because I read the book, but the hype it’s been getting had been turning me off from it. I’m really glad we got lucky enough to attend this free screening, because I definately would of waited til I earned free tix through my movie watcher card to see it. Then I would of been pissed at myself for waiting so long to see it, haha.
I’m not gonna lie to you I was a little critical towards Mark Walhberg (don’t get me wrong I LOVE Marky Mark) because he replaced Ryan Gosling who was the original actor casted as the dad. In the beginning of the movie Mark comes off as a little hokey/trying to hard, but once the emotional aspect of the movie kicks in, he’s on his A game.
Rachel Weiss, I’m not too fond of, but thankfully didn’t really had to pay her too much mind
Saoirse Ronan I knew would be excellent in this as soon as I heard she was casted as Susie and she really was. She brought Susie’s struggle with dealing with her life being over to the screen beautifully…..think Patrick Swayze in Ghost (R.I.P.), but better…………wait is that even possible?
There were a handful of times where it seriously was hard for me not to cry, but I’m not the type to wanna bawl like a baby in a room full of strangers, so I fought the tears back and just watched the movie.
I really loved how Peter Jackson pulled off the whole ‘caught in the middle’ between Earth & Heaven with Susie. Some of the scenery, shit ALL OF IT is just breath taking, I had to catch myself a few times day dreaming of having photo shoots in some of the places. Just sucks since they don’t actually exist, haha.
It’s just a really good movie and I HIGHLY RECOMMEND you see it, if you’re looking for a good teary jerker movie to watch, then go see it.
I WILL be seeing it again………..maybe even 3 times, we’ll see.
GO SEE IT!
Side Note: OMG I saw the Remember Me poster on my way to the theater to see Lovely Bones tonight and it just made the night even better. Seeing the poster in person made it real I guess? Cuz it’s weird you see a movie’s poster online, it’s just a picture, right? Well it is until you see it in a display case with ‘coming soon’ under it. Man the first half of this year is gonna be awesome with movies
P.S. – Sorry for the randomness & jumping around of things in this blog, I was doing 3 or 4 different things as I wrote this and that always results in half ass/sucky written blogs, haha.

The birth of my Bamboo
Wednesday, January 13th, 2010*waves*
Bamboo? Right? lol
What you dont know is that I had a really fucking awesome Christmas this year. My family gave me $450 worth of gift cards for BEST BUY……..yea me the dvd addict, that’s ALL I NEED RIGHT?!
Well believe it or not i’ve only spent $250 of it so far since Christmas and $200 went towards my Bamboo. What is a Bamboo you ask? Well its this….
It’s like a huge touch pad you can use as a mouse with your finger or a pen and well it makes DRAWING ON YOUR COMPUTER FUCKING AWESOMELY EASY. I just bought it last week, so I thought since I was bored instead of staring at my computer refreshing twitter WISHING someone would talk to me, that I’d try tracing an rpattz picture.
You’re probably wondering how the FUCK you trace a picture on your computer.
It’s simple really, open up any kinda of photo editing software, for me that’s photoshop. Choose the picture you wanna trace and open it up in that program, then of course you create a new layer and just start tracing lines and stuff on top of the picture.
It’s really not that important but it is pretty hard if you dont know what the fuck you’re doing.
ANYWAYS, here’s the picture I traced and how it turned out!
OMG DOESN’T IT LOOK GOOD?!
Normally I don’t give myself any credit but I’m sorry when I actually do something really good, I can’t help but beam with a huge smile on my face, like right now. Which if you know me is very fucking rare =)
I think the MAIN reason why I’m so proud of it, is whenever I have traced pictures in the past I used Adobe Illustrator not Photoshop because the ‘pen tool’ which is what I would use in Illustrator never worked the same way for me in photoshop like it did in illustrator.
So when I went to trace/draw this picture I ended up just using the brush tool instead.
O_o
At first it really was looking like shit, but omg i’m so proud of it now! =D
I think I might blow it up a bit and print it out/frame it or maybe put it on a tshirt?!
I dunno, I’m just so happy with how it turned out and now I’m kinda overwhelmed with what I could probably do with this Bamboo after seeing how good this turned out! =D
