Scribbles About Music: Throwback Thursday Edition Sophomore Slump or Comeback of The Year by Fall Out Boy

I wasn't expecting to love this song hearing it now as much as I do... but the lyrics of this song are probably my favorite and of all of Fall Out Boys songs... I think these are the ones that stuck with me the most. "The best part of believe is the lie" "I swear I'd burn this city down to show you the light." It's stuff that really matters and it sticks with you. "Take your tears, put them on ice." That's all good.

This doesn't give me the happy feeling the way that I think 7 minutes in heaven did... but this one I feel better. I'm like "Yeah, I still like Fall Out Boy and these lyrics still mean something to me." Which is cool. All these years later, I'm still on board with this song. I guess that's a good thing!

It is a good message though... singers lie to us. You can't really trust anyone other than yourself because people just like to tell you what you want to hear... cause that's just who they are that week... wait... wrong song! Lol. But... you know what I mean.

Also, William Beckett sings in this song and I'm quite a fan of The Academy Is as well! I'll have to do some scribbles about them too probably. Lol. I think that's cool cause I didn't know who he was when I first heard the song but now after being a fan for so long I'm like "Yes! This dude!" And that is really cool!

So that's a short little post, but this is a pretty short song! Next week I want to try to do another movie review... or I might be doing something else entirely... I have stuff planned for halloween... which seems crazy because I'm writing this August 22nd..but we'll see!

Byeee!

Weekly Wrap Up 7.30.17

Sunday 7.23.17  Sunday was a really good day… it was kind of a lazy day for me… but my dad pretty much finished most of the painting in my room… he ran out of paint before he could totally finish it up… so he’ll finish that up soon… my mom is going to the paint store tomorrow… so hopefully he can finish it up then.  He also made some really fantastic barbecue pork… it was going to be pulled pork… but the pulling process didn’t really work… I kind of prefer the texture of it sliced instead of pulled…. idk. I like pulled pork… but this sliced pork was really delicious and flavorful and good.  We went for Starbucks and Ice Cream too… which was fun. Starbucks sends a lot of bonus stars offers after 2… so even though we go in the morning- we have to go after 2 because then we’ll get bonus stars, which my dad uses in New York because it’s a little more expensive there.  And then the ice cream… nutella ice cream with crushed oreos and marshmallow…it was del...

Throwback Thursday: The Incredibles

This is one of the more underrated movies in the Pixar Universe... thatI think is actually getting more popular now than it was back when it was released... so that's good. I think it really stands the test of time... but it still isn't one of my favorites. This movie I think is pretty cool because it was the first time Pixar really used humans. When I was little I thought "Toys, Bugs, Monsters, Fish... the next movie will be about dogs!" And I was surprised it was this! I didn't know Pixar could do that! But I guess technically its about heroes and not humans... but then Pixar began to show more humans in their world and The Pixar Theory was started... and yeah. I just kind of want to state my opinion on the Pixar Theory here too cause why not: I don't believe that Pixar set out to create this elaborate world with all the movies connected... but I do still believe it exists in some way shape of form. It all adds up and checks out... so for me... somehow t...

Rereading My Favorite Thing I Wrote In College

Hey guys! I'd say "today's post is a little different" but they're all kind of different to begin with... so this might end up being the same- or at least something that can fit into this blog in a nice way. So I don't want to post the actual thing that I wrote... but in my college Creative Writing Class that I took at 21 we needed to write a fantastical realism short story. And I wrote something that I always liked. The lead character was a smart and sassy woman... the fantastical elements were exciting and unique... and the story as a whole had a cute ending and a good message... and I really liked the way that I took what happened in my real life and changed it into this amazing and fantastical thing. Re-reading it... it was still pretty good. I actually liked the ending a little bit better because it had a nice message about believing in yourself that I kind of just snuck in there without much thought... and there was a cute little love story. I liked ...
