October 31, 2007Pieces Of Valentine And Just A Song Of Mine To Keep From Burning HistorySeasons of gasoline and gold...Wise men fold. So, as the day of Halloween closes, I've been thinking: what is wrong with teenagers? I haven't left my house in more than a whole month (I am not kidding), and the people I used to know talk trash about me behind my back. I left the house this evening to hang out with my some of my favorite pals, and a rumor was started about me. My sister came to me, talking about how I am putting "curses" on my ex's because they broke my heart around this time last year. Does anyone think that this is as stupid as I think it is? I don't get it. I'm not even going to fuss about it. I hate a girl that I used to know, and I want her erased from my life. So, that is what I am going to do. I will soon forget her completely. Nothing is going to stop that. Near a tree, by a river, there's a hole in the ground, where an old man of Aran goes around and around. And his mind is a beacon in the veil of the night. For a strange kind of fashion, there's a wrong and a right. People sure do like to backstab. And I'm done with everyone around them. The only people that exist to me are my buzznet friends and my band mates. He'll never, never fight over you... Thank you, Madison, for getting me out of the house. It's so funny that all I have to do is leave my house and people start talking about me. I've done it. I've become famous. =]

October 28, 2007"Ride On Shooting Star" and "Well Thought-Out Twinkles"Where to start, where to start. Let's see...The first song is by The Pillows. The second one is by Silversun Pickups. I'm watching "Romy & Michele's High School Reunion" and loving it. It's one of my most favorite movies. Definitely top 10. I'm thinking a lot about Freddie Mercury again. He might as well own up half of my time these days. The other half definitely blank. He was such an astounding man. Ugh. Why did he have to die of AIDS?! Why couldn't it have been me?! He died a little more than a year than me, and I know that I am going to feel horrible on that day. Sadder thing is is that it's the day after the Denver YWT Show. I still know that I'm going to feel horrible. I'm making a tattoo though. It will be in memory to Freddie Mercury. I'll post it when it's finished. He was really exceptional. He made so much of his life and his the people around him. QUEEN wouldn't have existed without Mr. Mercury. We would have never had songs like "We Are The Champions" or "Killer Queen". God. I would literally trade 50 years of my life just to see a QUEEN concert in person. Jeez. That sounds a bit excessive, but he was worth it. I sure hope that he was happy with Jim Hutton in his final days. Bleh. Je suis triste maintenant. If and when I ever have a son, I will name him John Farrokh Ortega IV. I'm thinking that I like that best. It's my little bit of tribute to Freddie in my child. A lot can change between now and then though. So far though, that's my choice. Ugh. I'm also ANNOYED TO HELL by how people treat Amy Winehouse. The whole Maxim magazine thing keeps making me mad. I mean, honestly, HOW SHALLOW CAN THE WORLD GET IF YOU CANNOT UNDERSTAND THAT LOOKS DON'T COUNT FOR ANYTHING?!?! It's so stupid. I'm sick of people saying, "Ew...She's ugly" or "Ugh. Look at how gross she is". Her music is good to me. Her looks don't matter. No one's looks matter. Personality should be considered for everything. There is a sick, shallow bubble hovering over American society these days. Especially around the teens. I hate them. I hate this. People need stop looking so much into how people look. Examine their insides. If you are going to judge anything, shouldn't it be who and what they are as opposed to what they look like? I, for one, think so. I'm sorry, kiddos. I'm sick of your ways. I like Fall Out Boy for what they have done. Pete Wentz's good looks has no effect on the way I view him; I measure his talent through his words. Same with Patrick Stump. He has so much raw talent. I love them for what they have done, not what they look like. You should do the same. It only makes sense. (P.S. Vanity is a sin, for all of you religious folks out there. Judging people is also a sin. If you are going to judge someone, please try not to make it about what they look like.)
I'm done typing. I'm off to watch more television, eat more candy corn, listen to more music and love Amy Winehouse all the more. And finish my Freddie Mercury tattoo.
These days are ours...

October 21, 2007Cleaning The Soul: One Problem At A TimeBleh. Blip. Blink. Shpluh. So, I haven't been on in a while. Not that I'm complaining. Ever since I have been out of school, it just seems that I'm really just taking up space, becoming a bundle of mass. It's not really a good feeling, but what can you do? Well, whatever. Anyway, the main reason that I haven't been on is because my computer broke down...again. And this time I lost everything...again. I had 2 demos on there for people to listen to. And all of those lyrics. I have to start over...again. It's insane. Somewhere, something is keeping me from making this record, but I have started to remake it. I haven't recorded anything yet, but it's handwritten and in a very safe place. It's so very frustrating to have quite a bit of bad things happen at once. But it eases the soul to know that things can get better. They will get better. Just got to breathe.
I'm getting it going. I don't think that I am going to have a record out on Halloween, but I'm going to try my hardest. I promise to at least have more than half of the record on paper and in speakers by then though. I'm confident that that will happen. Ugh. That's my days these days. Oh, yeah! My phone keeps screwing up. I don't answer it anymore and I don't want to. I'm not too big on socializing these days. I'm getting myself back together. Like a puzzle. Hope that you miss me when I'm gone. John [or Jage (pronounced "j-age")]

October 10, 2007We Could Have Never Had It All, But We Had To Hit A Wall.If you don't have Amy Winehouse's new album, I strongly suggest that you have to get it. It is positively essential to life. The song, "Tears Dry On Their Own", is my personal favorite. I've listened to it so much. Oh, Amy. I love her. I decided that I wanted to marry her today. I even came up with a gritty little plan on how I will get her to fall in love with me. It happens, I guess. It's happened before. I came up with a plan on how to get Uma Thurman to fall in love with me, but then decided that she is way to old for me. Pete is getting there, but he will always have a place in my heart. Love.
Do you remember the days when love was in the air? Stuff like this inhabited the world? I wish I could. As a matter of fact, there hasn't ever really been a generation that has had a long period of love. Unless you count the whole disco/hippie thing. But people were way too high off of either mushrooms or acid. Either way, if it made them happy...
Those days when everyone was hypnotized by the visual effects of the disco ball. Where you could go around and dance for days and days and days. I'm sure that many people in the world wouldn't trade their years in the 60's and 70's for anything in the world. Truly, a splendid thought.
And then there were the 80's. Another time period we all should sit and sink into. With their belts and glasses and bracelets and splendor. The greatest of the great times. Well, maybe not that great. Who am I to judge?
"I don't understand; why do I stress a man, when there's so many bigger things at hand?" I'll get into life now. Not 20 years ago. Now. I'm alive today. And baby, I ain't getting any younger.

October 8, 2007Top 25 Songs: Compilation UnoThanks a ton, Sue! =] Here's my random assortment of shiz! 25. "Gay Bar" Electric Six Hilarious fun. If you haven't heard this or downloaded it or anything, you simply have to. This song is definitely worth having. 24. "Juicebox" The Strokes The video for this song makes me happy. But I really do love this song. "Oh, you're so cold. You're so cold!!" 23. "Smells Like Teen Spirit" Nirvana I miss Kurt. I miss a lot of people. It happens I guess. But yeah. Good song. 22. "Little Cream Soda" The White Stripes This song confuses me a little bit, but at the same time entices me. I'm always wondering what's going on when I listen to this song. 21. "Emergency" Paramore I really, really, REALLY love this song. Their new stuff is good, but I like their old stuff better. 20. "Raspberry Beret" Prince He is so cool. I really think that Prince has shaped up part of the late eighties and some of the nineties with this stuff. He's a genius. 19. "Space Oddity" David Bowie Everyone needs some Bowie in their life. This is my favorite. I'm in love. (With his old self; he's gotten so old these days!!) 18. "Come On, Eileen" Dexy's Midnight Runners This song will remain to be one of my favorites for the rest of my life. I don't know why I love it so much. But the bridge in this song is superb! 17. "LDN" Lily Allen "The sun is in the sky. Oh, why, oh, why would I want to be anywhere else?" Enough said. 16. "People Are Strange" The Doors Morrison. I miss him. Even if he is still alive. I miss you! Come back to life!! 15. "Calling All Cars" Senses Fail Still makes me sad. Someday, I'll make peace with that person. Until then, I will listen to this and sigh. 14. "All Downhill From Here" New Found Glory Great band. Totally saw them this year. Wonderful. XD 13. "I'm A Fake" The Used It's a great song. Bert McCracken makes me weak in the knees. 12. "Wow, I Can Get Sexual Too" Say Anything The best sex song ever!!! I love Max Bemis' voice screaming to me. Even if he laughs himself to sleep. 11. "Cardellini" Fireworks Totally met them! And got their autographs! And told them that we would get our band together and get some work done. 10. "Beating Hearts Baby" Head Automatica Daryll Palumbo makes me melt in the best of ways. I was so excited to get this song, I stole my neighbor's mail because I thought that the CD would be sent to the wrong address. Turns out, it was really in my neighbor's mail box. 9. "Lollipop" Mika This song is just full of jolly good fun. It's amazing how much fun you can have with one song. This song is really good for cheering anyone up. 8. "We Intertwined" The Hush Sound Does anyone else love this song as much as I do?!? It's so good! 7. "Tears Dry On Their Own" Amy Winehouse I love her. She is brilliant, beautiful and maybe a little bit intoxicated. 6. "Good Old-Fashioned Lover Boy" Queen Simply, a song fit for gods. Mmhmm. I love Queen. 5. "Friday, I'm In Love" The Cure It really makes you fall in love with life. I mean, who doesn't appreciate a good friday? 4. "The Riddle" Gigi D'agostino This reminds of my childhood in Germany. Damn techno movement. The lyrics for this song are really good. 3. "Saturday" Fall Out Boy Mmmmm...Saturday. 2. "G.I.N.A.S.F.S." Fall Out Boy With a good message and deep meaning, this song is pretty much almost the best thing ever. Promise. 1. "Sophomre Slump Or Comeback Of The Year" Fall Out Boy This song pretty much sums up the best year of my life. =] I love it. That's that for Compilation Uno. =] ==================================================================================== Also, I know that it is really lame to do this, but do you think that you could find it in your heart to give me a brownie on my video so I can win the Co-host With Dirty Contest for the Denver show? Please and thank you guys! http://www.friendsorenemies.com/web/foe/groups/cohostwithdirty/video/24677941/ With love for you all, John Ortega
