The Final Destination




I have been watching horror movies since I was eight. Now that I'm older I'm always a little hesitant to watch them because it's going to be scary. Sadly though every horror movie I've seen in the last three or four years has been a huge let down. If I was to pick a favorite horror movie chain it woukd be the Final Destination Series. These movies are scary because the way they kill people off are possible ways that you could actually die. I cannnot drive down the highway when there is a truck carrying logs infront of us anymore without getting nervous. I'm sure I'm extreamly late on this but they are making the fourth and final instalment and it's due to come out at the end of summer. August 28th to be exact. Watch the trailer I've posted above and feel free to leave your opinions via comments.

Surfing The Interweb


It's Friday night and I am spending my evening watching videos on youtube. I think this is a grand alternative to watching High School Musical 2 with my seven year old brother and parents. Now don't get me wrong, I enjoy staring at Zac Eforn's beautiful face just as much as the next girl but I'm just not a fan of Black Buch Hudgens. Yes, I said it. I thought that I would show you some of the videos I am enjoying this evening.


Q&A with William Beckett and Adam T. Siska

Mike Carden is a good guy. I always wonder if he's stonned when we meet him or if that's just how he always is. hmmm...



I have to agree with the boys on this one...



I once sent an e-mail to the Santi's little helpers ppl to enquire about what neon body style was and Sisky Business himself responded to my e-mail. It made my life complete.


And to finish off the Night I give you...
Aust In Translation

This is my all time favorite episode of TAITV and it was filmed in Toronto while I was sitting on the other side of that building for 8 hours waiting to get into that show. Plus theres Mark Hoppus.


I think I'm going to pull myself away from the computer now... Thanks for sharing your evening with me.

And remember... William, your hips don't lie.
His girl Friday's Weekend Kick Off Song



Sink Into Me - Taking Back Sunday




I started thinking of what song to do for this week as soon as I finished writing for last week. I had decided on Boy In A Magazine by Socratic, which is a great song. I ended up spending the weekend in Mississauga/Toronto with my boyfriend. We went to a baseball game Saturday afternoon and as we were driving back he put on the new cd from Taking Back Sunday. I instantly fell in love with Sink Into Me. I could not get it out of my head. Lucky for me he sent me home with the cd and I have yet to stop listening to it.

I don't what the weather is like where you are but it's going to be beautiful all weekend long here. Blue skies and high temperatures. This song is perfect for car rides, parties by the pool or on the patio or even just making out with someone. It has this high energy about it that makes you want to get up and dance or rock out or something.

To give you a bit of background info on Taking Back Sunday... They have four studio released albums. New Again (2009), Louder Now (2006), Where You Want To Be (2004) and of course my personal favorite Tell All Your Friends (2002). They have a 5 song EP as well but it didn't really get much notice. They're from Long Island, New York and formed the band in 1999. They've had a lot of different members come and go over the years and because of that there a few bands that have ex members in them. Some of these bands that you might want to check out would be The Color Fred, Straylight Run and Brand New. They released their first album in 2002 with Victory record but was later picked up by Warner and released their third album in 2006 with them.

If you'd like to see them play I believe they are touring all summer long. They will be playing at The Kool Haus on June 23rd in Toronto. Tickets are $31.50. They'll be playing with Anberlin and Envy On The Coast. They'll also be joining Weezer and Chester French on the Second half of the blink182 reunion tour which comes to The Molson Amphitheater on August 23rd in Toronto. Tickets are ridiculously expensive for the Canadian stops on this tour. If there are even any left you can try www.ticketmaster.ca for more info.

If you'd like to hear more from Tacking Back Sunday I'd recommend picking up their first cd, Tell All Your Friends, as it will not disappoint. Enjoy your weekend!

Let Me Remind You, You Were The Best Part Of My Life



Sometimes I think it's over. That we're fooling eachother by sticking it out. That we're just to scared to admit that it's not working and walk away. Some times I convince my self that no matter what I say or do or how much I offer to change about my self or how much of my self I give to you that you will never honestly love me again.

Then something happens. I spend a few days with you. We forget about the outside world and all of the things that are against us. All I see is you and all you see is me. We are eachothers top priority. I wake up to your soft kisses and your strong arms around me in your bed that's much too small for two grown adults and I feel safe. I feel like nothing could beat this highest of high that I feel. It's like the world doesn't make any sense and my vision is constantly blurred when I'm not with you. You bring the clarity that I crave. Everything is right and nothing is wrong. My world is perfect until I watch your car pull away and reality catches back up to me.

The distance is like a knife slowly cutting me open and letting all that makes me whole spill out onto the floor. The longer we are apart the harder it is to put it all back inside. It makes me realize to keep this new found happiness I need to be closer to you. I need to eliminate the distance. I convince myself to take the nessicary steps to make this happen.

Sometimes I feel you pull away from me. You react to things that don't need to be reacted to. You choose other things over me. You don't see when you hurt me or how your actions could hurt me. It's insane to think that things could be so amazing three days prior and now we're arguing and talking to eachother like we're two seperate beings on two seperate planets with entirely different goals. Sometimes I think you view me as a stranger. It's like when I'm not there with my hand in yours you forget who I am and what I am supose to mean to you and how you feel about me. I don't know whether to put you in your place or pretend nothing was said and all is well.

It's all for nothing though because within a week I will be back in your arms, laughing at our enemey distance and telling him to suck it. We both know he's just sharpening his knife for next time but we don't care. You may be confused but I know that I have enough love for the both of us for the time being. Hopefully you'll remember where you placed yours soon, before mine wears thin. I'd hate to imagine life without you. I'd hate to let distance win.
