  31 days for 31 movies! Welcome to October!

  I'm so happy! For one, since last blog post, I dumped that math class. I didn't need it, it wasn't giving me anything but a good lesson. I only took it for my love of math. However, that's not what you clicked on this blogpost to hear! Today it the start of my campaign to watch some freakin horror movies before halloween! 1 every day! I'm not the kinda guy who sits back and talks about how bored he is, I only say that once or twice. After that, I find something to do and freakin do it!!!

  So I have a massive pile of movies down stairs. Some may find it hard to scrap 31 horror movies, but I find it hard to knock down some til I'm at 31. I'm also taking suggestions! And before I go on a huge rant, guess, what was the first horror movie I watched today? It's not too old, not too new either. It's a classic, you never go a halloween without thinking about it. Begin guessing now!

  Halloween is by far my favorite holiday. For one night, not day! Night makes things 20 times better, love christmas eve far more than christmas day. Oh where was I, right, for one night, everyone gets in costume, gets a lot of candy (I get candy without trick or treating) and everyone host some kickin rad parties. I also get to scare small children without going to jail. Religion is no longer linked to it, it's not a day to be with your family, no eggs go bad from being hidden, and houses around here always have the most awesome decorations.

  So without further delay, here's my list, including number 1 that you should have been guessing at, last chance to make a guess! Give me suggestions in the comments, this list isn't final, just my general plan. I want veriety! Zombies, Ghost, Slashers, Old, New! You name it, I want it! BTW, I haven't seen most of these before, I'm not a person who was ever into horror movies. I just feel like getting in the halloween mood.

  Senior year is a curse.

  I'm sure a lot of people will tell you senior year is awesome, and in some ways I guess it should really be. You got the basics out of the way and are free to take a lot of classes you just want to. I thought it would be all sunshine and rainbows to, but now I have a religious nut and an annoying hardass that's going to ruin it.

  Enter teacher 1, the psych teacher. She discusses more politics than she ever does psych, which actually had me checking the door day 1 to make sure I was in the right class room. I'm assuming she's also fairly religious with how this discussion went. I'm not a religious person, I thought we seperated church and state years ago, but apparently saying "Jesus Christ" got me into listening to a speach about the commandments and how offensive that is and blah blah blah. That's not enough to bug me though, what bugged me was when she brought up the abortion issue. She said there's probably not a single person who supports abortion obvious, and I am actually a strong supporter of it. It's a touchy subject, but when I brought this up, she made me out as something of an evil person. She argued the topic to the point that I didn't even get to say a word and that the class just glared at me. It was uncomfterble, but the annoying part about it is that I couldn't even say 2 words on my views.

  But she's nothing compared to teacher 2. My old math teacher, he's tough on people and in his hard approach to things, gets fairly high test scores around the class and a very obidiant class. The dark side of him though is one I've just been slaughtered by. He makes examples of kids and picks on people (even though he will constantly try to assure you he's not picking on anyone) to get his points across. His point to make today, that our note taking needed to be perfect. He notices me not doing anything one day as he told us to finish this chart as fast as we could, I finished it in less than 10 seconds. He refuses to believe it though and yells at me for it. Stike one I guess, I should pretend I'm writting something so I look slower than I actually am, something odd seeming when he seems so persistant on telling us to speed up. Strike 2 came at today, as I let go of my pencil and looked up at the overhead to see there's a few more sentences that need writting, he sees me without the pencil in my hand and yells at me. Strike 2, never let go of my pencil and never let the pencil leave the paper.

  Strike 3 was unavoidable though, I dunno what I was supposed to do and still don't. I was told to finish this problem and I'm sitting there for 3 seconds trying to figure out the answer, all of a sudden he yells at me and comes marching over. What? I didn't stop working on the problem, I dunno when my pencil left the paper, all I did was look away for 3 seconds and he starts stomping over and snatches my notebook, he says I'm missing a load of stuff which in actually looking at it, I just left out a couple words and demands all my notes all year be fixed up to match his perfectly. This guy always talks about old students of his he calls idiots, and we laugh at his story, but now that I've become one of his stories, I have to wonder if they all got as unfair picked on of treatment as I did.

  In other news, Magic the Gathering is a growing fad at sibley, the homecoming game is tomarrow, and I get to meet an old friend this weekend for this year's renfest!

  Rock failure...

  Uggg, I hate this. My parents bought Rock Band and because of that price, I feel I need to play it. Problem is, I'm a complete failure at this! I've gotten no higher than 75% on the easiest difficulty while most of my friends don't even touch the easy difficulty. Rock Band is composed of 3 parts, and I'm a failure at every single one of them!

  My voice is monotoned beyond belief, so no matter how hard I try, I will always fail vocals. Doesn't help also that I don't know the lyrics to any of the songs, but something tells me it wouldn't help with my real problem at all if I did. True I can use the words at the bottom of the screen, but they scroll by so fast and I misread it a lot.

  Guitar I can't get the strums and the frets timing right at all! I always end up missing every other note! Holy crap, I can't even finish the tutorial, god forbid I every try a real song. The tutorials are extremely simplified!

  There's also bass, but I need to buy another guitar for that.

  Lastly, drums! I just can't keep up with 3 beats going on at once. As soon as I get a hand on any of the beats, it changes up just to piss me off. This however is the best chance I ever have of doing something in this game... Just wish there wasn't that damn foot pedal, it always throws me off.

  Once again, I have to play it. My parents spent a lot on it after all and they don't be playing very much of it, so they expect me and my bro to. All my friends are like pro at these kinds of games, so I also feel the need to keep up with them...

  Only I could end up depressed over a videogame like this, but take a dying family member perfectly fine. In other news, oh crap, school starts tomarrow! Grrrrrr.

  Oh, also I suggest you buy the 360 verison of Rock Band if you're not a failure like me. The Wii version is very stripped and bare. The band in the background is just a video form the 360 version, because apparently the solution to too much 3d is no 3d at all! As result, there's no play customization and you're people don't react to how you do at all!
