Soundtrack of my Life

Went this site, answered some questions, and gave m this fortune cookie response (which is so true!):

Your Tori Song is:
SPARK
from
"From the Choir Girl Hotel"

Let it go.
That was a long time ago.
You tend to hold onto the bad things.

-------------------------------------------------------

Damn!
How could it know???

I just answered some questions about what I drink and eat and what Tori song I like and it told me that!

It's so damned true!

I dwell in the past too much.
Why, I remember the time I... ugh!
Nevermind.

So, what's your story Tori song?
Tell me!

Overheard at the NU107 ROCK AWARDS


MALE MODEL: Hey man, where are all the illicit women? You know, the type that just wants to have sex?


****


ATOM HENARES: Astig!!!


****

There's frog stuck in my throat!


Just came from the recording studio.
They're using my voice for a radio commercial.
While listening to my recording I suddenly realize that I sound like a muppet.

Damn.
Must be the effect of watching Sesame Street and Muppet Show during my formative years.

Ribbit

It was the best of shows. It was the worst of shows.

THE NU107 ROCK AWARDS 2001: A ROCK ODYSSEY had great bands.
Everything else can be fast-forwarded.
You might to hit the pause button to check out what the showbiz-starlets were wearing,
but nothing still beats what Osang was (or wasn’t wearing) a couple of years back.

This year’s NU Rock Awards also served a primer to the shows of UNTV 37.
And from what I saw, there’s not much reason to tune in.

The Awards Ceremony was hosted by Tado and this girl who's name I didn't really get, who host a show on UNTV called Strange Brew. Even though Tado had some jokes that actually made the crowd laugh, their spiels were just too damn long. It always seemed like they were just killing time until the next band got on stage.

My general comment about the hosts of UNTV’s different shows is that they all seem have graduated from the school of Beavis and Butthead and Wayne and Garth. They all seemed to be trying to pull-off the Dumb-and-Dumber-routine and failed at it miserably.

Why do most of their shows have to have “character hosts”?
Why not just have people who know what they’re talking about?

Francis Brew works because he knows what he’s talking about. Zach also works as a good host. I just think he needs a better scriptwriter so that he can actually say something sensible about the places he goes to.

And what about that Rock Rules show, hosted by “Elvus”, a card-board cut-out of Elvis Presley where they animate his mouth to have some bad Elvis impressionist do his voice. Doesn’t UNTV have to pay the Presleys royalty for the use of the image and likeness of the King?

Let me now issue a disclaimer and say that I’ve only seen three shows of UNTV. The rest of my comments are based on those 5-minute segments that were show during the Rock Awards.

Okay, now, back to the Rock Awards.

Once again, the organizers make the mistake of placing the bands too far away from the stage where they present and give the awards. So, as usual, it takes the winners too long to get on stage. Meanwhile, the presenters are cracking jokes like, “Where the winners? Maybe they’re in the C.R.!” Oh… ha… ha.

Oh well… it was fun… mostly… not entirely.

`Til next year.

NEVERLAND 4 SALE


Neverland isn't much fun when...

...some of your friends have outgrown your love for comic books.

... some of your friends find rock music too loud and just settle for... things are aren't too loud.





Shit happens... like growing up and you are left behind in the playground with kids who don't want to play with you

One of the few times I was actually thankful for those annoying pop-up-banner-ads.
Found this link of photos of Emmanuelle Chriqui.
I have no idea who she is but she's pretty! :)
Seems like she's appeared in some movies and hangs out with some boyband.
But she's pretty!

2:34am
still here

Found Clarissa's blog through Mark's links
Reading her blog
makes me miss college life so much
suddenly remember what Batch72 is all about
all that fun
all that angst
all that... nothing

reading Clarissa's entries reminds me of how... "profilic" I was back in college
Back in the old days (said in grumpy old man's voice) we didn't have blogs...
we wrote stuff down on paper
and use ballpens that made a mess on your paper
Actually, I still keep a journal
which is my "paper life" is now divided in my journal and in my blog and in the emails I send to friends
It's funny how I sometimes read my college journal and discover that I actually knew words which I don't use now
that I actually sounded intelligent back then
and that I actually suprise myself that I was capable of such "deep thought"

ugh

i'd like to blame txting for my devolution

or maybe it's like in the agency
plus two years of writing nothing but cellphone copy

ugh



Frustrated artists

Also found this guy's site from Gerry's message board

Good stuff

too bad he has no place to show off his stuff

at least he's got the web

but like every other comic book artist out there

they want to see their stuff on print


And I still have three more issues of B72 to go.

Work.

Work, damn you, work!

Sunday
1:14am
in a 24hours internet cafe
where 90% of the patrons are playing some network game
well, for some reason it's not as full

I could just go to the office
but that would mean surfing the net with the ghosts
never been proven that we have ghosts in the office
thank God

spent most of the day in hibernation
had this grand plan to deliver the books in the stores in QC
no go
my body clock got screwed by those two cups of brewed coffee I drank at 3am

was at the Old Swiss Inn with Andre
talking about comic books, the internet, and... about endings
and the struggle to find new beginnings

so, here i am
