ANTHONY, the grass is GREENer on the circa side.




i have every intention of writing a post tomorrow about my life and what's not going on in it. but i just wanted to vent for a small moment.
i am about to throw out a rant that will only be appreciated and read by no one, except ashley if she could read it. but it will make me feel better to get it out, even if it's like screaming into a forest.
so, anyway. there is this band called Saosin, if you're Mormon you've at least heard of them probably. because it's a big deal when any fellow Mormon is in the lime light, and their current singer Cove Reber is a Latter Day Saint.
when Saosin was formed in 2003 however, Cove was not a part of the band. They created the band with singer Anthony Green. (Cove was actually a huge fan of Saosin before he joined.) they recorded one album and then Anthony decided to part in 2004 as he was not satisfied with musical direction of the band. No hard feelings. So, they held auditions for new singers and because of his vocal similarity, Cove was in.
SIX YEARS LATER,
Anthony Green has created TONS of music for people to enjoy, Circa Survive, The Sound of Animals Fighting, and my personal favorite, his solo work.
Cove Reber has continued on with Saosin, touring and becoming vastly popular.
My rant is this:
people still have the audacity to make comments like: "i miss anthony green in saosin."
ummm.... i'm sorry but Cove is more a part of Saosin than Anthony Green. He has more than paid his dues. And Anthony Green clearly couldn't have been successful in a band that he wasn't musically compatible with. we've gotten double the great music out of this and i am quite frankly tired of hearing comments like that. mostly because i know that people just throw that out to sound cool. because they want people to think they know what they're talking about, they've been with saosin from the beginning.
even if that's the case, SHUT UP. you sound like a class of '78 quarter back who can't let go of the day he blew the state championship.
that is all. like you care.

previews, tyra banks, and other various enigmas of life.

Buckle up kids, this is about to be a smörgåsbord of blogging.

First and foremost. I would like to discuss the pressing issue at hand, previews. Honestly, I love previews when I'm in the movie theater. Dane Cook helped me better understand why when he explained that people love previews because we get to be movie critics for 15 minutes. Preview after preview we will turn to who ever we're at the movies with and say "Oh, that looks good!" or, "LAME." you know, so on and so forth.
But the real problem here, is movies that are decietful. Or in other words, all the good parts are in the preview.
A prime example of this, is The Invention of Lying. I almost walked out on that movie. I mean really. It felt like, when you're watching your 5 year old nephew put on a play and he's got it goin on in the first 10 minutes, but then really doesn't know how to tie everything together to make a good ending. So he starts making up bizarre crap (sort of like the 4th twilight book.... i mean, not like i read it or anything................................okay i did.), and you're all like, "if you're weren't so effing cute, i end this shi by lighting your set on fire." But in the movies, it's not cute. It's a problem.

the second PROBLEM, and i have to overemphasize what a problem she is: Tyra mother loving Banks. I hate her. But she's like a car accident, or a parade of drag queens, you don't want to look, but you can't peel your eyes away from the situation, no matter how much your retnas are burning.
my guilty pleasure is America's Next Top Model. I hate that watching it requires some form of supporting Tyra's career. I think my feelings can best be summed up in a small note to the Queen herself.
Tyra-
Okay. Look. We get it. You're a model. You've walked in the most high fashion shows on earth, and we haven't. We get it, you think you were homeless for a day because you think that wearing overalls and hanging out with bums for 8 hours makes you one of them. I now understand that it's possible to change your entire persona by "smeyezing" And thankfully, so does Larry King. I think my most favorite thing about you, is that you continue to be overweight to prove a point, but yet you still support the industry that could possibly be the the root of the problem for most body image issues, AND eating disorders. Well that, and your ability to be one of those most self involved human beings on earth. Looove it. Anyway, what I am trying to say is, you'll never be Oprah. But keep up the hard work, I know how exhausting it must be to talk about your accomplishments 24/7.

Lastly, I love Justin Timberlake.
