My dad was laid off today :( He wasn't happy at this job anyway so it isn't that big of a loss. He'd had this job for about a year now, the previous job before this one was 20 years +. But last time he got a bunch of job offers and had a new job within a month so I'm not really worried. It is just super stressful until a new job is secured... >_< Just what I need, more stress...

I was just reading over the Liam Gallagher wikipedia page... Fuckin' hell, there are SO many mistakes. The page is protected and everything, you think that they could get some information right! These things just annoy the hell out of me.... Some points that perturbed me...

- Liam was 12, NOT 10, when they moved away from Tommy.
- Yes, Liam was kicked out of school multiple times, NOT just when he was 15 and NOT for good. He graduated at 17 UNLIKE Noel who never received a diploma.
- Liam changed the band's name to 'Oasis' from 'The Rain' BEFORE Noel joined the band and as Oasis (pre-Noel), they only played ONE real gig. The one that Noel attended in 1991 NOT 1992.

At least Noel's page got the year of 1991 right, though it still claims that the band was called 'The Rain' by the time he joined...

And that's only in the first bloody section. Unless of course my facts are wrong, but I'm pretty positive in my knowledge (but if I am wrong, please correct me as I do like to have my facts straight ^_^;). I really shouldn't be reading wikipedia, it only pisses me off.

Hopefully I don't sound like a stalkerish in this entry... lol

... death warmed up in a microwave and then refrozen like 4th of July bbq leftovers. yes.

I am sooooooooooooo fucking out of it. I just had 16 hours of heavily aided sleep. My head is POUNDING and I am very dizzy. If I say anything stupid, well, it comes with the territory. I want to crawl in a hole right now. The weekend was maddening and will be explained later as soon as I am positive I have my head on straight.

Noel is not actually playing for the Nolan sisters right? (that's the sort of state of mind I'm in m'dears....)

someone finally made an Oasis thread on that Gaia music forum I was ranting about yesterday. And today, well, today I was in no mood to listen to some dickhead saying they were shit. I will dig out their soul and make them beg for mercy *_* (If you aren't into them, this isn't directed at you. I'm talking about the people who troll around and say that they suck just to piss fans off. I hate the Beach Boys but I was big about it and merely said I disliked their music, but some people don't get it and decide to say that my opinion was wrong. Opinions can't be wrong, they are opinions for that reason. Not facts.... Bloody hell)

If you happen to have a gaia, the thread is here ~> http://www.gaiaonline.com/forum/music/the-official-oasis-thread/t.51382561/

For those of you who don't, I'll just share my very long intro post to the questions given (because ranting about Oasis is good for the soul)

***

Finally an official Oasis thread! What the world (and I) has been waiting for heart Can't believe I didn't see this sooner...

Now for the questions...

1. What is your favorite song(s) from Oasis?: Favorite song... That is really tough. 3gb of my mp3 player is dedicated solely to Oasis (it would be more but I only have a 4gb player sweatdrop ) I would have to say Live Forever would be number one. It always lifts me up no matter how I'm feeling. The song saved me in a really dark part of my life. The combination of the music and lyrics together is really mind blowing too. Plus the guitar solo at the end *_* I am very excited that they added it to their setlist again wink

2. Choose who? Noel or Liam?: Another hard one... I see Noel as the more responsible, calm, creative leader (The Chief as he would have it) in these days. Liam is more of the crazy out there sort of rock star we all know and love. Noel can be more manipulative and jaded where Liam has a child-like innocence about him, you get the real deal, no bull shit. Honestly, I love them both far too much to choose xd heart

3. What's the reason that you like Oasis?: I like the music because it is epic. There is a song for everything I've ever felt or been though or probably ever will go though in my life. And the sound is unique and timeless. Liam's voice is an entity unto itself, an iconic thing and Noel's songwriting is by far the best of more than a few generations. The songs never seem to age as time passes like so many others do. Definitely Maybe could have dropped last week and still would be completely modern. I like the band because they have an energy, something special about them that I've never seen with any other group. Whether it is the old line-up or the new one, they kept the same feeling. They are a band that when seen live will blow your head off and leave you want more. I've only had the privilege to have seen a gig of theirs once, but it was the best show I'd ever seen BY FAR. The whole crowd seemed to be one, just belting out the anthems like Wonderwall or Don't Look Back In Anger. And then the closing with I Am The Walrus just takes the cake of best finish ever. Lastly, why I like them as people... They haven't changed. 18 years on and they are still the same people, Liam & Noel. They've grown older, possibly more mature, but they are still them: 2 brothers from Burnage who don't take shit from anyone and haven't lost their souls to gain fame. THAT is what makes the foundations of an epic band.

4. What's your opinion on the Live Concerts from Oasis? BEST SHOW EVER. PERIOD. Their live DVDs are amazing (There & Then, Live By The Sea, Familiar To Millions, Lord Don't Slow Me Down, etc.) but nothing compares to seeing them live and just BEING there. You are part of something at an Oasis gig. Seeing them was the best night of my life and I can't wait to do it again!

Whoa... Long post eek I'm a bit of a fanatic... rolleyes

So, for the sake of discussion, how 'bout you guys? Same questions, what do you think?

I'm on the Gaiaonline music forum.... Someone just told me the Beach Boys were better than Oasis ever was and that Oasis are far past their prime.

Hmmm... Should I be the bigger person or chew them out? I suppose they are lucky the conversation isn't face-to-face. Then again it couldn't be, he wouldn't have a face by the time his words were uttered.

Gah... It is is hard being mature. I just want to tell him to go have romantic relations with himself, but in not so many words and accompanied by a 2 finger salute.

Watching the 'Pitchmen' season (series?) finale. I still can't believe Billy Mays is dead...

Speaking of commercials and TV ads though, my dad was throwing a fit over an ad he saw. I think it was for motor oil or something, but it made fun Scottish people. At first I was just like WTF do you care? You were born in a Chicago suburb for crying out loud! But then I thought about it a bit. Why is it that it is socially acceptable to make fun of some nationalities and not others? Scottish and Irish seem to very commonly be the butt of jokes. I am both. I'm a mix of a lot of things, but I still find it a little unfair that some can be joked at while others can't be touched. I'm not politically correct by any means. I'm sure if you searched this journal there would be a ton of snide french jokes (I'm a wee bit french too, so whatever lol) so I'm not asking for political correctness. I'm asking for fairness. All should be fair game, not just some. All or none is true equality and anyone who disagrees can shove ti where the sun don't shine.

(Sorry about this completely random rant lol)

'Dada' I think... Isn't that most people's? I'd like to say it was something interesting, but I don't think it was. My second was probably mama, my third, 'minga' (Not a real word I suppose, but it was what I called my grandma XD)

My youngest sister's first word wasn't an actual word, but it sure was interesting. 'Bada' is what she called my other sister. Eventually we deduced that she was trying to say 'bad girl' because that was what people kept yelling at my other sister lol (Yes, 'bada' was the Gremlin only back then instead of being a 14 year old pain in the butt, she was 5 and still just as annoying)

Ths prompt reminds me of a story I started but didn't finish yet involved Liam's first word (I don't know what it was, I made it up) Maybe I should finish that...

Totally random journal entry... I have a lot to talk about from this week, but may have to do it when my brain is not so frazzled >_<

Uhhh.... To make this at all relevant....



Is that Noel Gallagher in front of a computer? *GASP* It is an ancient one no doubt and probably hooked up to some sort of mixing music related thinga-ma-jig (Yes, I am great with technical terms) And it seems circa the late 90s (can anyone confirm by hairstyle?) But still, Noel in front of a computer. Which he claims to have never touched in his whole life. Ah Noelie, Noelie, Noelie.... He does look flippin' adorable though <3

Take old ink cartridges back to the store. We do that at Staples and not only are you being green, but you get money back to spend at the store ^_^

Just saw a TV ad for this, but Goal! will be on the Fox Soccer Channel coming up (28 June I believe) More info here

Heads up for Oasis fans ;)

I have this song stuck in my head now thanks very much to dollrock 's new fic about Noel opening a bar in Mexico.... The song oddly fits the story... I do love the song though XD

Staring out into the wild blue yonder
So many thoughts to sit and ponder
About life and love and the lack of
And this emptiness in my heart
Too old to be wild and free
Still too young to be over the hill
Should try to grow up but who knows where to start.

So I'll just sit right here and have another beer in Mexico
Do my best to waste another day
Sit right here and have another beer in Mexico
Let the warm air melt these blues away.

Sun comes up and the sun sinks down
And I've seen them both in this tourist town
Up for days in a rage
Just tryin' to search my soul
For all the answers, and the reasons why
I'm at these crossroads in my life
And I really don't know which way to go.

So I'll just sit right here and have another beer in Mexico
Do my best to waste another day
Sit right here and have another beer in Mexico
Let the warm air melt these blues away.

Maybe I'll settle down
Get married or stay single and stay free
Which road I travel is still a mystery to me.

So I'll just sit right here and have another beer in Mexico
Do my best to waste another day
Sit right here and have another beer in Mexico
Let the warm air melt these blues away.

Down in Mexico...

~ Beer In Mexico/ Kenny Chesney

It kinda fits, no? (well, if you read the fic.... lol)

lol I'm kinda doing that right now... XD Last time I stayed up ALL night I think was the night before my knee surgery a few years ago. I was afraid I was going to die so I wanted to get the most out of my last night lol

One great time I stayed up *nearly* all night was my very first concert and I got to bed after 2:00am. That generally wouldn't be that bad, but it was the night before my very first day of high school lol I was on a crazy losing-concert-virginity high and by the time I fell asleep it was nearly morning. I wandered around the freakin' gigantic school in a half asleep daze lol Luckily the first person I ran into when I got there was my boyfirend at the time and he guided me around otherwise I would have had no idea what the fuck I was doing XD

Rose Tyler from Doctor Who :) I immediately identified with her need to escape her mundane life and runaway. She was a teenager in need of some guidance and confidence in herself. She was one of the main things that drew me to the show (well, her and the hotness that is Mr Chris Eccleston <3)

My perfect summer would be spending 3 months following my favorite bands around the country. My mom and I did that one year and followed Kenny Chesney and went to a bunch of his gigs. We had fanclub seats and went mad in true groupie fashion. It was fabulous. XD Good times... good times...

Yes. I was raised Catholic but the entire religion seems messed up to me. I don't understand many of the rules and don't see how they have anything to do with the bible. I believe in God and Jesus and all that, but I do not believe that being homosexual is a sin, I do not believe that swearing is a one way ticket to hell and I do not believe in half the shit that they spew (like Harry Potter is evil? WTF?) The God I believe in is something personal. I don't like organized religion period to be perfectly honest...

(that was more of a ramble than an actual response lol My brain is running on artificial chemicals, it is hard to concentrate...)

I'm claustrophobic, so any small spaces creep me out. I also don't like heights... There is this mall that is DEAD a couple of miles from me that creeps the hell out of me to go inside. Half the lights are always off and there's like 10 stores in the entire place. It has been like that for probably an upside of 10 years but is still open. The place has given me nightmares. Another strange place that scares the shit out of me, the bathrooms at Magic Kingdom in Disney World. They have light blue walls. For some reason, a room covered in light blue tile is very unbelievably creepy to me. Go figure lol.

Hold on... Is this a new developement? Did I miss something? I thought they were getting along now? (I got this from live4ever.us) I am gullible so if this was sort fo meant as a joke then someone please tell me XD I also don't know how betting odds work either... I mean, I just didn't think there was any danger of anything like this going down...


Bookmakers offer 8/1 odds that Liam Gallagher Pulls Out of Gig

---

  This Saturday’s Oasis gig at Slane Castle in County Meath could be cancelled according to bookmakers Paddy Power because the Gallagher brothers can’t even stand to be in the same room as each other!

Liam Might Not Turn Up
Liam and Noel have apparently been at each other’s throats for the last two weeks and Paddy Power are offering odds of 8/1 that Liam pulls out of Saturday’s gig and 9/1 that it gets cancelled completely because of the alleged feud.

Fight On Stage Is Possible
Even if the gig does start with Liam there, it is not guaranteed he will complete, Paddy Power offer 3/1 that he has a temper tantrum and storms off mid performance and you can even get 8/1 that Liam and Noel have an argument on stage.

Hotel Rooms To Be Trashed?
You can get 10/1 with Paddy Power that the pair trash their rooms after the gig in true rock n roll style whilst Liam is 50/1 to throw a TV out of their room!

First Cliché For Liam
Bets are even available on the first cliché that Liam comes out with first on the night. Howareya is the 3/1 favourite with Paddy Power whilst Mad For It is 7/2 with Paddy Power. For a full list of clichés you can bet on or to see what other Oasis specials are available at Paddy Power visit the Paddy Power website and click on Novelty Bets.

My significant other is currently nonexistent, so friends lol But if I had a partner for example that my friends didn't approve of I would definitely give them a second look over. My friends usually see things that I can't when it comes to what's good for me (especially my friend Steph who is more like a mother XD) So, my friends would definitely come first in all occasions, hands down.

I was watching this, really don't know why as they are down right mean to Liam (well, it *is* VH1, what can I really expect?) The media loves to make Liam out to be this horrible guy. So he's made some bad decisions, who hasn't? -_- He is a very alluring man, not sure if that is merely because he's considered a "bad boy". But anyway, I was totally pulled off guard at 3:05 and was like OMG that's Shannon Tweed! I was just watching Gene Simmons's Family Jewels (anyone else watch that show? Their son Nick is fucking HOT, but I digress...), she's a former Playboy Playmate and Gene's partner of 25 years. I recently watched an episode where she made Gene take a lie detector test to see if he's ever cheated on her... lol I just found that amusing. But I think she's calling Nicole an 'enabler', I'm not sure how I feel about that one Ms Tweed.... Not sure she has room to judge. At least Liam married Nicole, she's still waiting for that ring on her finger.
