This blog used to be about cool music that I was into and shit....but all I dont have that much time for all that anymore--Gotta stay ontop of Accounting--So what you get in return is my life. Mostly. Hopefully I can stick in something interesting now and then.
Aggies won their first game in three years last Saturday. Dont laugh, everyone was pretty happy...and shocked. We broke our losing streak...with a score of 44 to 12 against Johnson C Smith (wherever that is). And our band is deep as fuck this year...them band scholarships are back and we're doin it big. So happy to be back at A&T! Also.......as expected Saturday Night was poppin as hell. Every party turned into a block party it was a lot of a fun. Ended up going to a party with the Bruhz.....of course we didnt realize it was their party until Omega-type behavior started to take place. Sticking tongues in girls mouths, ears, & what have you....picking me up and humping me against the wall....typical Que party.
Where did these people come from?? After the parties we dipped back...ate some cookies. A friend of mine randomly kissed me in the middle of my sentence about Regina Spektor or something.....okay. I love to be spontaneous...but I have never thought of him in that way. It was weird....the second time. Maybe I was just right (tippin) but I didnt think anything of the first kiss. Ehhh whatever. We were just really bored I am thinking.....when you get home from a night out and your high/buzz is coming back down you wanna cuddle up with someone. I was put on... Anime Experience---Fooly Cooly or Furi Kuri My nigga Dyook from put me on to this animated series...we watched it all in one sitting. Its about this kid named Naota and this chick on a Vespa who comes from another planet and hits people on the head with her bass guitar. After hitting people on the head it opens a portal and shit pops out of their foreheads....like robots or something. I guess she was looking for her boyfriend??? No, I didnt really understand but it was entertaining and the animation was awesome. What does Furi Kuri mean...??? I still dont fucking know.....seems sexual to me though. The picture is Canti...a robot..I think its cute when he wears clothes. =) Anyway me and Dyook talked for a long time...I loaned him Watchmen. Im anxious to see what he thinks...I hardly meet nerd-type people who I can loan books to or watch cartoons and music with a lot....so this was a big deal. I have not really met that many new people...but I have gotten much closer to a lot of people that I already knew. Eccentric....crazy people are usually drawn to me...and apparently A&T is no different. Some of these niggas are more interesting than I thought they were when I met them. The guy I talked about earlier put me on to a lot of music that I didnt think he would be into. He mentioned OMR, Blonde Redhead, and Ayo---im supposed to be checking them out. He also mentioned that he really likes Janelle Monae. Ding Ding Ding right? I was like wow we should get married.....i....really...said...that..haha Dyook put me onto some Japanese rock--The Pillows and some Interpol. He also likes a lot of 80s music, MF Doom and Santogold.....Ding Ding Ding. And when I played some Theophilus for him....UltraViolet to be exact....his response "This is some Prince shit". Ding Ding Ding....might become a fan..? He also said that Theophilus London II is clearly a black name....I laughed. Maybe its Brooklyn thing. Where are these people coming from and why didnt I get close to them last semester??
Like...Do I have enough clothes to attend an HBCU?? Anyone who goes to one knows what I am talking about. We go to class.....we study, we do homework. But on a nice afternoon, there is one thing that you notice more than anything else, we dress! The first week has been especially fly of course. I love seeing everyone's new clothes lol Sooo I have lived in three separate Dorm rooms. I currently have two....its a complicated situation. If I kill myself this semester you can blame it on Accounting 222. It rained all day today and I felt sick. I want to watch Blade Runner.
iPolyvore So I been on Polyvore....and found a way to put my extra nerdy and totally uncool spin on it. Gosh I made sets based on shit I like. Loser shit... Super cool loser shit!!! I plan on making at least one more Blade Runner set...
Sleep. I am not tired, I just dont have anything else to do....and it's high time for some sleep. I know if I tried, I would be up tossing and turning. So instead I have been up feeding the monster..aka...commenting on other peoples blogs. Enabling this blogger behavior. Thats why I need friends---less than I week until I will have them again! Every once in a while, I start to get stir crazy--babbling [typing] words that are intended for real live humans. But since all I got is my family, I end up here or talking to myself. In highschool--one of the years when I didnt have friends--my mind would race at the end of each day. Thoughts that were supposed to be spilled on real live humans, but weren't. Thats what this is. Everytime I speak to my mother she [un- and sometimes -intentionally] tells me how unhappy she is. She cant afford to move out. I guess she cant afford divorce then. I dont like to think about it. I dont have any goals. Or, I dont think so. All of my goals involve people. Having friends, having fun. Im in college--without a clear idea of the why or what comes after. I dont think I want to ever get married.
Watchmen.... Okay, I am not really sure about where to start Hmmm...I finished it on Thursday and my initial reaction was..."wtf". The ending was fantastic---and whenever I use the word 'fantastic' I dont mean great...I mean it was some completely crazy fantasy-type shit. The layers like...blew my mind, I felt like I couldnt completely comprehend it because it just came to a screeching halt. I was impressed with the mood it left me with though--I had no words. So I immediately started reading it again. LOL. I figured I was at a loss because obviously there was so much foreshadowing and tie-ins (with the Watchmaker chapter, Athena, The Black Freighter) that I couldnt catch the first time. So instead of trying to think about about all of that stuff I thought it would be better if I just read most of it over again. I was impressed with the Black Freighter tie-in shit. When the freighter story ended I was just like....wtf....but it all started to make sense when I reached the end of the actual book. The concept of surrendering to the freighter--and how your ambitions for greatness, strivings for utopia and justice can warp your mind and turn you into a completely different animal----thats amazing. And unexpected. The piece that Dreiberg wrote about lending "a lyrical eye" to numbers and scientific type data to renew interest in something----so subtle in its tie in to the story but really great. I really enjoyed that part. I didnt like Laurie. She is the only one I did not like. I think it was because she was so annoyingly human. All of the other characters had these fantastic qualities to them--or passions. They liked fighting crime---but Silk Spectre II was wack and I was disappointed that she was so significant. I really did not enjoy the part about where she finds out about her father. I just felt like she was one of the characters in the story that wasnt doing anything with their lives---she didnt have any drive or a purpose. She spent most of the time angry or crying, I didnt see her as a strong woman. Not a femme fatale....or even someone that I liked as a person. Just a victim that happened to have learned how to fight---but not even because she wanted to! Nite Owl was a little similar, but at least he provided some comedy in his patheticness. He was likeable and relateable in his aging fatness. At least you were happy for him when he got some ass, and you were impressed with his writing and inventions. Dr. Manhattan was cool--annoying in that he was attracted to a character as stationary as Laurie. Funny because he was like some no good nigga---leaving women because they got old, a liar, emotionally unavailable---deisel, mysterious, unchanging. An island. Rorschach was entertaining as shit---just crazy. Some of his lines were classic...I leave the human cockroaches to discuss their heroin and child pornography. He was not stationary, he had a purpose and didnt give a fuck about anything else. The Comedian was impressive in his "I dont give a fuck" attitude too---just so rash because he understood "the joke". A great character. Veidt was cool....calculated, ambitious, powerful. I understood his shit too. All of the characters had the perfect balance of human-ness and fantasy...except ol girl. As for the movie adaptation. I dont know. They would really have to pay attention to detail and play up a lot of shit to make it good. I have no problem with them extending the action. I think anything that gets the message across powerfully and salvages the original story is necessary. No one wants to see three hours of flashbacks---that even got annoying the book. There obviously has to be flashbacks--but they need to be really smooth. The Watchmaker chapter needs to be dealt with delicately---I want to watch the movie and understand that Manhattan experiences time all at once without them beating it down my thoat with all that repitition. The movie needs to be dramatic and dark and believable. I mean in all of the characters there was this understandable and relatable human element, even Jon. I see no reason for the story to be completely different---it can all be on the same plane. It can be realistic, with some great acting, believable human suffering and grittiness. All in all---I think the quick and messy ending will fuck up a lot of people and the meaning will be lost on some audiences. But I see no reason why it cant be enjoyable for those that have already read the book though. Cut some shit out, tinker with the order of events, add some explosion---I will not be mad.
I just started putting shit in shoe boxes. Im so lazy. Its that shoe store bullshit I brought home with me. Shoe boxes, shoe boxes---Im so damn tired of shoes.
yes, that is an octopus on the table...no that painting is never getting finished. The table is huge!
Lets see before I leave..I need
Cocoa Butter--the lotion kind in the squeeze bottle
An iron
An iron board type thing
To get my hair done
Some boxes or something!--I cant fit all of my clothes in my dresser and closet at home combined. I have not unpacked all my clothes since summer started because I dont have anywhere to put them!
So I finished my last shift at Journey's...and I wish I would have stolen something from them. I wish that when I end all kinds of relationships. I am seriously going to start stealing random things from men for retribution for the pain and suffering that WILL ensue. Well...I got the "Vans Tower" [ima post pics when its assembled-if ever] and a bunch of stickers. I barely bought shit with my discount--I dont shop at Journey's, every thing I told them in the interview was bullshit, lol.
Anyway, Current Soundtrack
+Tegan & Sara- Dark Come Soon
+Regina Spektor- Music Box & Apres Moi
+Theophilus London- Sandcastles
I look forward to getting back to school so I can go out on Sat nights instead of blogging =/ Watchmen Post tomorrow.
Listen closely because this just might be a new feature here on Happy Ambuscade. I just went into my nightstand drawer and looked at some of my old Cds that I dont really listen to anyore. Well...I am sort of reminiscing about when I was in love...with hiphop. Back then when I used to order CDs off the internet and wait forever for them to come---and then sit listen to them all the way through everyday. Obviously, in this day and age, things arent like that anymore. So..I guess I just want to talk about it a little. Cage- Agent Orange Come and witness what your shit missed Watch the glock kiss, Little Sis' wet her like a Baptist This song was on the CD Movies For the Blind which came out in August 2002. It was released as a single before 2002......I remember listening to it way before the album dropped and being suprised that it was even on there. Anyway...I guess it was being on SingleBubblePop and mentioning the book A Clockwork Orange [I have been meaning to post about that book] that got me thinking about this song. The beat is actually the theme to the film and its starts out with lines similar to those in the book/film....even using some Nadsat [made up language in the book]. The theme of the song is basically Ultraviolence...which is exactly what it sounds like. I wanted to write about this song because I really liked it back then---and I LOVE the book. I survived abortion; got mushed in that canister shaped coffin til stolen from the garbage I was tossed in Instincts, snatch your cream like links Blow shotguns through the sky, makin E.T. eyes chink See me twistin leak with my peeps from psychiatrics Get high, run up in ya crib and fuck ya moms backwards Lost in the dust, don't give a fuck about dangerous I'm in it for the whip, plus the cream and the head.. rush
Did I mention This nigga was in a mental institution for a minute?

My nigga Dyook from put me on to this animated series...we watched it all in one sitting. Its about this kid named Naota and this chick on a Vespa who comes from another planet and hits people on the head with her bass guitar. After hitting people on the head it opens a portal and shit pops out of their foreheads....like robots or something. I guess she was looking for her boyfriend??? No, I didnt really understand but it was entertaining and the animation was awesome. What does Furi Kuri mean...??? I still dont fucking know.....seems sexual to me though. The picture is Canti...a robot..I think its cute when he wears clothes. =)
