Life's a fucking riot. And reminiscing on your past is the best shit ever, especially when you lived an entertaining life. The same can't be said for my life... BUT here, for all of you fuckers, is a look on my life from pre-school to 8th grade. I go off on little tangents, like with everything else in life except video games (yes, I can get distracted away from foreplay).
Anyways, little kid phase. This is the best fucking time period ever. You get to pretty much do whatever the fuck you want with little to no punishment, especially if your parents are very liberal on things. You get to shit yourself without worry of embarrassment. You don't have to dress yourself. You don't have to clean yourself. Hell, you basically don't even have to breathe for yourself. Parents do everything for you. And that's how life fucking should be.
But then, you notice things changing, and you find yourself in pre-school. You're surrounded by other, much uglier kids. "You're way more handsome than all of them, Geoffrey" my Mom used to say. Or, for the sake of this post, she used to say that, which is true, by the way. Most of the kids I associated with were ugly as hell as little kids, and, for the most part, still are ugly as hell to this very day.
Anyways, I was talking about pre-school. I don't know about any of you guys, but at my old school, we were learning how to read at the ages of 2 and/or 3. I remember the little paper books they'd give us. They'd have a little owl on them, and every page would have a 3 word sentence that we'd use to learn how to read. But, you also learn of punishment in pre-school. If you talk out of place, you get punished. If you don't stand in line properly, you get punished. Hell, if you didn't take your daily nap, you were punished. Punishment would range from five minutes out of playtime to standing in the corner. But if you're a big mouth like me, you get your mouth duct taped.*
Let's fast forward to elementary school, specifically, fourth grade. By this time, I was a veteran when it came to girls. My first crush was in first grade. The girl was in kindergarten. It's funny how my early years foreshadowed my later life, since I've been with a younger girl for 15 months (well, officially 15 months tomorrow).
Ah... "Fourth Grade: The Living Hell" as I like to call it. It was during this school year that I began developing the traits and characteristics that make me, well, me. This one day, we were playing Capture the Flag at break. I remember retrieving the flag, and being the overly dramatic kid that I was/am, I did this jump thing across the line that kind of resembled something cool... or something. Basically, I jumped forward with my arms out at my sides, and with one of my knees bent. Think Power Rangers, only... not so Power Rangerly. Well, during my jump, I "hit" this kid, Almond. Once contact was made, the kid began crying. And, of course, I got penalized for this. For what fucking reason, I don't know. And I don't think I'll ever know. I was sent inside for punishment. I was extremely pissed off. I just had to do something. I figured writing the kid a message on an index card and leaving it on his desk would be enough. I grabbed an index card and wrote "You big baby" on it and left it on his desk. Ha ha ha, what a sucker he'd be when he sees this. Of course, things didn't work out my way, the teacher saw it, I got in more trouble, and blah blah blah. His Dad called our house that day and left a very fucked up message on our answering machine in Tagalog. He pretty much said "Leonor, did you hear what your son did to my son?" My family was all on my side because, well, this kid was a pussy. And thus, I learned the best factoid of life ever: Most people are fucking pussies.
Fifth grade consisted of a teacher with a very bad bladder, and was open and honest about this. She used to fart all the time and go take a piss every ten minutes. This was also the year where I was in a class with a girl who had real breasts. Oh Lynette, how I miss you. Fifth grade also was my debut year for RPGs. Final Fantasy VII, I will always love you.
Sixth grade re-united me with the fourth grade teacher from hell. Fuck, that year was so awkward. A huge crush on this girl, Dana, caused me to try to act cool. Hell, everybody was in their "Hey, I'm cool" phase. Fuck, I was such a stupid little kid and a major poseur. For some reason, I thought that being into the same things she was into would cause her to like me. She had a big obsession with boy bands, and, well... put two and two together. Of course, I went the extra mile and actually listened and bought CD's from the Backstreet Boys and N'Sync. Hell, I even won tickets to an N'Sync concert that year. Ah... the things you'd do to get with a girl.
Of course, life bit me in my ass, and I never got with her.
Seventh grade was one of my best years of my life. At my old school, they'd pair 7th and 8th grade together. And our 8th grade class at the time was so cool. They were rebellious. They were going to parties. They were GOING OUT WITH EACH OTHER! HOW MUCH COOLER COULD THEY GET?! Anyways, I took a few pointers from my peers, and that's how I became the sarcastic mother fucker I am today. If only I could remember some of the funny shit I used to say, I'd be able to prove it.
Seventh grade also dignified my personal musical interests developing. I went from a pop listening kid to, well... a pop listening kid... BUT WITH PEOPLE THAT ACTUALLY WRITE THEIR OWN SONGS AND MUSIC! Blink-182, Lucky Boys Confusion, and Sublime were major bands of my 7th grade. Ha ha, now, Blink-182 can kiss my ass, Lucky Boys Confusion went from a decent ska band to a suck-a-thon of pop-punk sounds, and, well, Sublime still rock the shit because Brad's dead. RIP BRAD!
Eighth grade was more or less the same. Hell, I'll go out and say that eighth grade was a complete waste of time and was insignificant. *sigh* If only I enjoyed my eighth grade more... for the next 3 years after that would be a roller coaster, full of up ups, down downs, left right left rights, b's, a's, and start's.
*True story. They literally put duct tape on my mouth. I even found myself stuck in a locker that same day. Christian school teachers are fucking bitches, man.
And here's a group picture from the Streetlight Manifesto show. Note the bad lighting because of the suck ass venue. That "Streetlight Manifesto" on it was put on by a friend, who was stupid and overwrote the original image.
The back row (L to R): Me, Mikey "Foot" Whateverthefuckhislastnameis, Chris "Curtis" Curtis, Mike Lau, Rogelio "The Helios" Zamudio. The front row (L to R): Ben "Dumptruck" Scott and Chris "Peditto" Peditto. Also to the right of this picture is Sobun after he got punched. Notice how his nose is kind of looking fucked up.

Oh it wasn't the fact that they were popular. They just got airplay every so often on this radio station I used to listen to. And by then, my "alternative" senses were budding, so yeah. This was probably around... '99 or '00. Most likely '99.
Yeah man, I'm 17. So you'd be old as hell to me if you were 24+. But not in a bad way, of course.

Geez...
The original Final Fantasy came out when I was in Jr. High. Sublime got popular when I was in college. Fuck, I'm old. I had to go to a religious school too. They suck dead goat ass.
-1 for making me feel old.

New CD's hitting in October. What I don't get is why they're releasing it under some subsidiary of Sony, when they can just release off of Fork in Hand.

I will not back down.
Random Jew, if you noticed, I said "fuck" and "shit," meaning all cuss words.
I don't mind an expletive here and there, but I can't stand reading "fucking dude fucked my fucking house the fuck up." It disrupts the flow of the story, and when the flow is fucked up, the post is.
disrupted post = -2.
Next time, use less expletives and I'll rate accordingly.

Wow, I got me an anon defending me. Nice.
Big D does, in fact, own major ass. sXe for life, or at least until I cave into smoking. (Which will be never.)
I tend to get an average of 8 or 9 reviews a post. That's horrible.

Fuck. I don't fucking like you because, fuck, you fucking use "fuck" and "shit" way the fuck too fucking much! You fuckin' understand me?
14 fucks and 1,281 words or roughly 1.1%. That's one fuck every hundred words you dumb fuck.

Be nice Tim.
Though he is right about you using fuck and shit too much geoffy, replace them with other words or cut them alltogether. When they're used too frequently they disrupt the reading flow, yadda yadda.
