Stylo

This song is part of the new album "Plastic Beach" by the Gorillaz. The Gorillaz is my favorite band! For my first car, I want an old Camaro. Then I would paint it black, and put two very important things on it: A large white star on both sides of the car, and the word "STYLO" on the front grille. I would then proceed to drive it to Damien while I play "Stylo" by the Gorillaz in my car! That is one of my BIGGEST dreams! It would make me so happy to pull in to Damien parking with "Stylo" playing! You see, "Stylo" is the Gorillaz's biggest song on their new album (of which I have). I love their songs because they are so symbolic and unique. Even my dad loves their new songs! They have come out with their music videos! Please, please! You must watch the video! It is amazing and for those who don't think it is amazing, then you must at least admit it was entertaining for you. In this video the leader of the band, Murdoc narrates the whole thing. There are a couple of things you must know to watch the video: The band "Gorillaz" is the world's first virtual band. Meaning the actual humans whodo the singing and instruments are not shown. Instead they are always represented by specific characters. Their names are "2-D, Russel, Murdoc, and Noodle. Noodle (the acoustic guitar girl) was last seen in the music video "El Manana" in which she is on a flying island and crashes from being attacked. The song "El Manana" is a GREAT song and I highly recommend you see it as well. If possible, see it before you see "Journey to Plastic Beach". Here is the link:

 Never to be seen again. Now, about a year later in their new album: Murdoc wants to get the band back together. And so he gathers everyone back. One thing is, though: there is no more "Noodle". You can't restart a band missing a member. So Murdoc goes to the El Manana Crash site and obtains a trace of noodle's DNA to make a cyborg Noodle. But the thing is, this Noodle is evil. Now they race back to plastic beach with all the composers they work with to make their new album. Please enjoy! Here is the link:

Everything Happens For a Reason

God is the best planner. He planned everything to be perfect when he made his greatest creation: Mankind. But we all know that because we are given free will, it did not end up perfect here on earth. But God has ways of sticking to his plan. His grand plan. When one event takes place, one of two things happen; God planned it, or man committed it and God simply knew about it. But either way, he gives us ways out if we end up stuck in a situation. All we need to do is carefully look for the "ropes" he throws us. But we can't just wait to be saved from drowning without shouting "Help!". We pray. This is how we shout for help. Praying is asking, or thanking God for something. Sometimes prayer is even just talking and listening to God! You see, prayer tells God that we believe He can throw us that rope to save us from drowning in sin and suffering. Jesus gave us prayers to pray. Now we use them tell him we need, appreciate and love Him. God helps those who help themselves. But what most do not understand from this is that YOU must decide for yourself whether you have faith in Him or not. He gave us free will, meaning He will not make you believe in Him. You must do it yourself. And once you believe and then ask, God will always throw you YOUR rope.

Knott's Berry Farm?

So here is the situation: WE'RE GOING TO KNOTT'S FOR MY [and Lauren's] BIRTHDAY! So, I'm going to invite a couple of people here. Definitely Lauren because it's her birthday as well. But besides Lauren, I was thinking of course Andrew. But there are two others that have become some good friends and they go to Bonita High. Amanda and Sydney. Yeah over the retreat they were pretty fun to hang around. Remember the snowball fight? Yeah that was the best :) Anyways, here is the catch. I have to manage to get an "A" for Biology and then we can all go. My mom suggested that I invite two friends! Haha so then I had too hard of a time thinking and then I told her that I wanted to invite Amanda and Sydney in addition to Andrew and Lauren. So then my mom asks me the next day, "Who's going to go in the car?!" I later realized that my mom's car only had 3 available seats! D: UH OH. BUT, my dad is also coming along. So then, I figured; My dad can take the guys [Andrew and me] while my mom can take the girls [Amanda, Sydney, and Lauren]! I am such a genius!

People I Interact With at Damien

Well, being at Damien has been quite an adventure for me so far... It seems like I want to go there all the time because there are many people there whom I consider friends. Going into Damien as a freshman, you realize that the first two or three weeks of the year, all the students in the classes are very quiet. Nobody knows anyone. Then over time, you realize, hey he was in my last class... Hey here he is in this class too? My god, this other guy in most of my classes and happens to sit next to me in each class. I later learned his name was Jared. Jared is the kind of guy who eats skittles all day... Because he does. Haha! His tongue is always a different color. Anyway, yes I have made some other friends there at Damien. Another friend is Carlos. Now, Carlos is the more quiet one, but he still knows how to have fun without getting in trouble. Yes, we all talk during Biology class when the teacher isn't usually putting notes on the board or telling us to work on something. Anyway, Carlos usually likes to talk about DS's and Golf. I mostly listen to the DS conversations because he usually has a different question about them each time he asks! I actually kind of like how somebody is asking advice from me though. I like being that kind of person to help. Haha I remember he told us that he lost his wallet on a golf course and it was full of the money he had saved up to buy a DS. I told him that he should go back and look in the lost and found. Jared turns to me and says, "yeah he can get back his wallet but with only like one dollar left in there because the finder felt pity for him." Carlos just laughs. So then, the next day in biology, Carlos shares that he went to lost and found, and found his wallet there with all the money inside! What a relief.(By the way, Jared is in my Biology, Spanish, World Geography, Algebra, and Religion class! He sits in front of me in most classes.) So Jared is my main friend. Now, In biology (My 0 period) the guy who sits in front of me is Tristan Wilson. He is slightly more quiet than Carlos. He is slightly shorter than me. Carlos is about his height, and Jared is taller than all of us. But not by too much. Anyway, Tristan will ALWAYS say after the morning prayer as we all sit down, "Amen Gabe". Because I started that. When the prayer is finished, we will both sit down and I used to say "Amen Tristan" as we sat down. Now he says it all the time. lol. But so onto more friends... Lets see there is... Hmmm... Well yeah there's more but these are the guys I interact with the most. Although Carlos and Tristan are only in my biology class, they are the ones that usually have something legit to talk about. Oh! I know. innn Spanish. There is a Trevor Carlson. Yeah he and I don't talk much, but when we do, its usually about something... odd. Like the last time we talked, we talked about well... Actually I honestly can't really hear him most of the time. Hahah :) I just agree with him. Like he's gunna be talking/whispering; I can't really hear him. So I just smile and nod. OH! He's usually talking about parties. Yeah or sometimes experiences that include a girl. Haha :D Aaaannd lets see... There's ummmm... There's Jonathan Saca. Yeah he always asks the MOST REDICULOUS QUESTIONS!! In biology, I'm sorry but he asks stupid questions. We all know he is doing this on purpose but sometimes he keeps asking these questions and then one time our biology teacher told him not to ask anymore. Hahah :D And he is also behind me in honors english. He will usually talk to his friend across from him; Forrest Fulgensi. Anyway, I'm done rambling... My main point is that these guys are like fun brothers! They're pretty cool. This is to you guys!

FUNNY quote from a movie!!!

Suddenly, and against all probability, a Sperm Whale will be called into existence several miles above the surface of an alien planet. And since this is not a naturally tenable position for a whale, this innocent creature had very little time to come to terms with it's identity. This is what it thought as it fell:

"Ahhh woah, whats happening!? Who am I!? What's my purpose in life!? ... what do I mean by who am I...? Ok ok calm down get a grip now... Ooh this is an interesting sensation. Its a sort of a tingling in my- well I guess I'll just start finding a funny name for it! Let's call it ah- a tail. Yeah! Tail! And whats this roaring sound, whooshing past what I'm suddenly gonna call my head? Wind? Is that a good name? That'll do. Yay this is really exciting! I'm dizzy with anticipation! Or it the wind? There's an awful lot of that now isn't it? And what 's this thing coming towards so very fast, so big and flat and round it needs a big wide sounding name like ow, ound, round, ground. Ah! That's it! Ground! HA! I wonder if it'll be friends with me? Hello ground!" (Boom)

Many have speculated that if we know what the whale thought then we should know a lot more about the universe than we do now.

From the movie: The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy

Mr. MONOPOLY for Halloween!

I decided to be Mr. Monopoly for Halloween. Hey Lauren, you going trick or treating this year????

I wonder...

What is free in life??? Have you heard of the saying "nothing in life is free"? I have been thinking about that phrase and I am wondering if there is something in life that is free? Is love free? Another saying is "you can't buy love" or " there's no price on love". Well, then, does that mean it is free? I don' think its free... I heard another saying; "love with love is repaid". Ok, so let me get this straight; love has no price and cannot be bought, and then, the only way to repay love is with love? Hmmm... Well then, I guess it is free to FALL in
love, but then love HAS to be repaid with another love. It is a "PUZZLEMENT"...(froM
the movie, "The King and I"). Well so then it is not free, but has to be given and repaid with itself!!! That's it!!!! Well, what is free then? Nothing? Air? Another person to keep you company? No... That's not it... Is it human interaction? Because we would go crazy without communication or interaction with another human... It's a need in the roots of the human mind, so it must be free! Well anyway, if I figure it out I'll post it! It's just something to ponder if you have some free time.. Because that's what I do! Haha! Well I shall ponder away!

I got an itouch!!!!! (too bad this is the only box my itouch will let me edit!)
