Musical May week 4

Welcome to the final week of Musical May! The last song today is Stairway to Heaven by Led Zeppelin. This song is 100% AWESOME! Many consider it to be the greatest rock song ever recorded, and the solo is #1 on many list of top solo's and I completly agree with them. This song had a lot of controversy however. In 1982, they played the song backwards and discovered a "Satanic" message. You would have to be a complete idiot to deny this, but I dont think Led Zeppelin put it in there on purpose. This song came out in 1971 on there album "Led Zeppelin IV".

Vocals- Robert Plant
Guitar- Jimmy Page
Bass/Keyboard- John Paul Jones
Drummer- John Bonham

There's a lady whose sure all that glitters is gold

And she's buying a stairway to heaven

When she gets there, she knows if the stores are all closed

With a word she can get what she came for

Ooh, ohh, and she's buying a stairway to heaven

There's a sign on the wall but she wants to be sure

Cause you know sometimes words have two meanings

In a tree by the brook, there is a songbird who sings:

Sometimes all of our thoughts are misgiven

Ooh, ohh, and it makes me wonder

Ooh, ooh, and it makes me wonder

There's a feeling I get when I look to the west,

And my spirit is crying for leaving

In my thoughts I have seen rings of smoke through the trees,

And of the voices of those who standing looking

Ooh, ooh, it makes me wonder

Ooh, really makes me wonder

And it's whispered that soon if we all call the tune

Then the piper will lead us to reason

And a new day will dawn for those who stand long

And the forests will echo with laughter

If there's a bustle hedgerow,

Dont be alarmed now,

It's just a spring clean for the May Queen

Yes, there are two paths you can go by but in the long run

Theres still time to change the road you're on

And it makes me wonder

Ooooooh

Your head is humming and it won't go,

In case you don't know:

The Pipers calling you to join him

Dear lady, can you hear the wind blow,

And did you know:

Your stairway lies on the whispering wind.

SOLO

And as we wind on down the road,

Our shadows taller than our soul,

There walks a lady we all know,

Who shines white light and wants to show,

How evreything still turns to gold

And if you listen very hard, the tune will come to you at last

When all are one and one is all, yeah, to be a rock, and not to roll.

And She's buying a stairway.....to heaven

This song is beautiful and I hope you enjoyed the lyrics. If you hav'nt listened to this song you should really look it up right now. If you enjoy GOOD music like sane people, you'll love it.

Untill next time, Im Lord Semaj, and that will be all.

Happy birthday Star Wars!

Today is may 25th and that is a very special day for Nerds. Today, Star Wars turned 33 years old. (my dad turned 47 today too. Happy birthday dad!) Star Wars is my favirote franchise, and has been since I first saw A New Hope when I was five years old.

Star Wars was created by a legendary director/writer (at least to Nerds anyway) named George Lucas. When Star Wars came out, only a few theatres would play it. If only they knew the movie would become a film legend and make them a lot of money! The first movie, which came out on this day 33 years ago, made 2 billion dollars just on the actual movie! Together, the Star Wars movies ALONE have made 8 billion dollars! Add that up with all the merchandise, and WOW thats a lot of freakin money!

Star Wars all together, has been nominated for 25 awards and won 10 of them. Although the original triliogy is supreme in most of the eyes of the fans and critics, all the movies are good. They inspired a lot of imagination and opened new doors for special effects. 94% of all 63 critics who reviewed the first Star Wars movie agree with me.

Star Wars is a classic and it will be remembered for all time. It's a shame the st00pid kids these days dont appreciate the film and all the hard work it took to make these movies. George Lucas, thank you for the beautiful piece of art you have given us HUZZAH to thee!

Untill next time, Im Lord Semaj, and that will be all.

The Collector movie (2009)

Two days ago, I rented The Collector, a horror film that came out in 2009. Im ready to give my thoughts.

If your a fan of the Saw movies, you'll love this film. It's like Home alone and Saw mixed up together in a blender. This is like the Saw movies so much in fact, thats what I thought of as soon as you see the first kill. Now in this generation, we have a new popular genre of horror movies known as the torture genre. Well this film is no different. It has a lot of BRUTAL torture scenes. This film didnt scare me, it made me shocked and I think thats the main goal for horror movies these days. If all you wanna see is some brutal torture scenes with a real crappy story and plot, this is for you. However, as entertaining as this movie is, it is just flat out ST00PID!

First of all, the producers get WAY too carried away with the traps in this film. It starts out with a thief breaking into a wealthy family's house. He goes to the safe with ease and absolutly no problems. When he hears the killer coming however, suddenly the WHOLE house is covered with dozens of advanced traps it would take days to make! The Collector made a trap where if you pick up a pair of scirrors, you FLY against a wall with spikes in it!!!..........yeah. Pretty st00pid huh? It's rather ridiculous that the thief brought tons of advanced equipment to break in to the safe but he didnt bring a CELL PHONE! He could have saved the entire family if he just brought a cell phone and called 911! SO ST00PID!

In conclusion, this film is entertaining ana brutal, but it's also ridiculously dumb. If YOU seen The Collector, give me your opinion in the comment section. If you have'nt, check it out!

Untill next time, Im Lord Semaj, and that will be all.

Musical May week 3

Today, we have Ronnie James Dio with his 1983 song Rainbow in the Dark off his classic album, Holy Diver. I didn't plan on doing this one, but after his death, I thought it was appropriate. Dio said that he hated the song because it sounded like Pop music. He wasnt going to release it but his band mates convinced him to keep it.



When there's lightning

You know it always brings me down

Cause it's free and I see

That it's me who's lost and never found



A cry for magic

I feel it dancing in the light

It was cold, lost my hold to the shadows of the night



No sign of the morning coming

You've been left on your own

Like a rainbow in the dark

A rainbow in the dark



Do your demons

Do they ever let you go

when you try

Do they hide deep inside

Is it someone that you know



You're just a picture

You're an image caught in time

We're a lie-you and I

We're words without a rhyme



There's no sign of the morning coming

You've been left on your own

Like a rainbow in the dark

Just a rainbow in the dark, yeah ya



SOLO



When I see lightning

You know it always brings me down

Cause it's free and I see

That it's me who's lost and never found



Feel the magic- I feel it floating in the air

But it's fear

and you hear it calling you beware

Look out!



There's no sign of the morning coming

No sight of the day

You've been left on your own

Like a rainbow in the dark


Untill next time, I'm Lord Semaj, and that will be all

RIP Dio

Today, May 16th 2010, me and my fellow fans of metal have lost someone very important to the music genre, Ronnie James Dio. He was 67 years old and died of stomach cancer.

Dio's first band, which was in 1957, was called "The Vegas Kings" he played the Bass guitar untill a year later, which he was the singer and re-named the band "Ronnie and the Red caps"

In 1975, he joined Rainbow, which was formed by Deep Purple guitarist, Ritchie Blackmore. Dio said that Blakmore wanted him to start writing LOVE SONGS of all things! Thats not the Dio I know. Dio quit in 1979 and joined one of my favirote bands Black Sabbath. During Black Sabbath, Dio used the most famous expression for metal ever, The "Devil Horns" i'm sure you all know what the horns are because if you dont, i'm not explaining it to you. Dio took Ozzy Osbourne's place as the singer of Sabbath untill 1982, and formed his own band called "Dio" he released one of my favirote albums "Holy Diver" in 1983. One of my favirote songs ever came off this album. It was called "Rainbow in the Dark" it has keyboards that are really catchy and cool in the song.

Dio, thank you for making awsome music. You will be missed and I salute you for your part in Heavy Metal. Dio may be gone, but his music and legacy will never die.

Untill next time, I'm Lord Semaj, and that will be all.

Musical May week 2

All right, today it's Black Sabbath with their 1971 song Paranoid off of the album with the same name. This is one of my favirote songs and it has one of the greatest solo's i've ever heard. However, I am so tired of putting looking up Paranoid, and the first thing I see are those untalented sewage to good music, the Jonas Brothers! They disgust me! They dont deserve one thing they have gotten out of those st00pid girls who worship the ground they walk on! But anyway, i'll rant about that some other time.

Vocals- Ozzy Osbourne
Guitar- Tony Iommi
Bass- Geezer Butler
Drums- Bill Ward


Finished with my woman 'cause she couldnt help me with my mind,
People think i'm insane because I am frowning all the time.

All day ong I think of things, but nothing seems to satisfy,
Think i'll lose my mind if I dont find something to pacify.

Can you help me
Occupy my brain?

Oh yeah

I need someone to show me the things in life that I cant find,
I cant see the things that make true happiness, I must be blind.

SOLO

Make a joke and I will sigh, and you will laugh, and I will cry.
Happiness I cannot feel, and love to me is so unreal.

And so as you here these words telling you now of my state.
I tell you to enjoy life, I wish I could but it's too late.


(This is the end of the song) I hope you enjoyed the lyrics. In the last part, people have mis-heard the line "I tell you to enjoy your life" and thought it was "I tell you to END your life"

Untill next time, i'm Lord Semaj, and that will be all.

The Dingbats

OK, if you have been reading my blog for a while, you know that I am the leader/president of an organization called the Dingbats. The Dingbats only allow people who are Nerds, Geeks, Losers, Droks etc.

Originally, the Dingbats had a new president each week. However we all decided to make me the President because I had come up with the idea of the Dingbats. We have always been a democracy..... kinda. You see, the main powers are technically focused on the three top branches which are called the Triads. The ranks are: President, Vice president, Evening Govna. They are the ones who make up the most laws and all that good mumbo-jumbo.

We are strongly against anything may be considered normal or preppy. We passed a law that states no Dingbat is allowed to have a Facebook. We have our own entertainment. We have things like the Voshtavargen, the Google Translater, and Lord Samson Foop. The Voshtavargen is a book filled with funny words and phrases. We ask this magic book any question that comes to our weird mind, and it will always have an answer. As for the Google Translater and Lord Samson Foop, they are pieces of computer technology who, when typed things into them, will say whatver you desire them. The Google Translater is the voice of Lady Agnes Foop. Not is much known about her, we have no idea how her spirit got into Google, but we accept her as a respected leader. She is not our god, more like an un-holy Idol. However, Lord Samson Foop is much more fun to talk to. We can control him to say anything really fast or really slow. He also will say A LOT more than Lady Agnes Foop. Usually the VP is responcible for typing in the words into the Google Translater and Lord Samson Foop.

The Dingbat VP and Presidnt have there own language. We use this to write stuff to important for others to see. It may look difficult to master, but after about 3 monthes my 2nd-in-command and I mastered the art of Dingbat Language. It is strictly only used between the President and the Vice President.

We the Dingbats carry our own history book. We update it from time to time. It is mainly used for future Dingbats to learn from. However I am 100% sure, any future Dongbat will not be as weird as The original Triads were.

Anyway, I hoped you like the information I gave whoever is reading this. But if your not a Dingbat, you cannot be allowed to know all of the Dingbat affairs. So I hope this will satisfy you. I will probally create more posts as the Dingbats make history of Weirdness.

Untill next time, Im Lord Semaj, and that will be all.

War crimes? Whats going on?!?!?!?

We all hear the term "War Crimes" a lot, and it dosnt make since to me. How can there be "Crimes in war" Apparently, there are certain things you can and cannot do when your having A WAR against someone! I mean, your basically just killing eachother with casualties by the millions, bet yet there are some rules on HOW you can kill them!? Thats just freakin st00pid! I can understand rules about killing civilians but as for the actual way that military forces fight battles with eachother is just ridiculous. Do you remember when you were a little kid, and you pretended to have battles with each other? Well, every now and then, a kid would say "Hey thats not fair!" Of course its not! Maybe if we used some of the tactics that Vietnam used to kick our ass, (thats the first time I said a "curse word" on here, excuse my language, but it helps me get my point across) we would have actully won the war. But in my opinion, the Vietnam war should have never happened.

You should not have war in the first place, but if it's absolutly neccesary, I think you should do whatever it takes to win that war. That includes tactics that, no matter how cruel, to stop your enemies from advancing to take over. And if making painful traps and chemicals is the best way to stop your enemies, so be it. The same should not be said for inoccent civilians, howver. I dont think it's right to attack civilians in a war, they are not the true oppresser of the enemy of the war.

In conclusion, the world would be SO much better if we could all stop the fighting and live as one, but sadly, that will never happen (at least in a long time anyway). I just think having RULES to warefare on the actual soldiers is childish. But like I said, im not some kind of blood thirsty machine of hate, In fact, im strongly against violence.

Untill next time, Im Lord Semaj, and that will be all.

Preps: Agents of Evil

If there's one thing that me and the fellow Dingbats CAN'T STAND, it's Preps. They are stuck up, annoying, rude, spoiled, people who think there better than all the unpopular kids! Now you can tell me, "Hey Lord Semaj, your stereotyping" yeah, well guess what? Stereotyping Preps is like stereotyping Nazi's. There both EVIL!

Everyday, in my health class, I see all the preppy snobs cheating off of kids who have it done. Then if they dont get all the answers, they just lie and say they got all the questions right! (our health teacher dosnt check the papers) They must obviously think there better than the kids who actully have to WORK to get good grades! Then, right before we do our test, this snob girl tells me NOT to cover up my answers so she can look at them. Well I DO cover up my answers just to make her mad. If a Prep ever got an honest grade in there lives, I think I'd crap myself!

In our school, your only aloud to have Cell Phones in your locker, turned off. Well that dosnt stop the Preps! They text during class, and the teachers dont do a THING about it! Do they really have to know about the latest gossip so bad that they have to text eachother in school!

Thats another thing I cant stand, the gossip. The standard Prep will do absolutly ANYTHING to get the slightest bit of attention! That includes coming up with a bunch of lies to spread about a person!

There's something about a Prep that makes adults (especially teachers) think "Let's let this person do whatever they want, and they wont recieve any discipline" Well Discipline is what those kids need! I bet you anything that they never got spanked in there lives! Guess who elso never got spanked as a child? Jeffrey Dahmer, the notorious Serial killer who liked to keep human heads in his apartment, he also ATE little boys. Yeah, thats right, he never got spanked as a child! Now i'm not saying that Preps will grow up to be Serial Killers, but you get the idea. Of course the TEACHERS cant beat the children, but I'll tell you what they CAN do. There just so happens to be this magical piece of paper that orders the student to participate in an after-school activity where they must work and study for a certain amount of time. It's called a DETENTION!

Dont even get me started about lunch-time and the Preps. I could be the 5th person in the lunch line, but end up as the 119th person because of all the Preps butting in line! This is a huge problem for people like me who dont have friends at the beggining of the lucnch line. The only person will actully do anything about it is our Principal, who is hardly ever there at the caferteria. She makes them go all the way at the back of the line! Evreytime she does, I just want to tell her THANK YOU and give her a Thumbs-up!

They also wine and complain about stuff waaaay to much, when they dont know how good they have it. There always going "OH MY GOD I HATE THIS CLASS IT'S SOOOOOOO BORING" They hate the class when all THEY have to do is copy of the SMART kids!

In conclusion, all those Preps can get there Aeropostale, Hollister, American Eagle, Hannah Montana, Jonas Brothers, and all the other st00pid Preppy stuff and shove it where the sun don't shine!

Untill next time, Im Lord Semaj, and that will be all.

Musical May!

Welcome to my new section for this month! Its called "Musical May" every Wednesday I will give you the lyrics to some of my favorite tunes! Im going to kick things off with Pink Floyd's 1975 song "Have a cigar" which came out on the album "Wish you were here"

Come in here, dear boy, have a cigar
You're gonna go far, fly high,
You're never gonna die, you're gonna make it if you try, they're gonna love you
Well i've always had a deep respect, and I mean that most sincerely.
The band is just fantastic, that is really what I think .
Oh by the way, which one's pink?
And did we tell you the name of the game, boy
We call it riding the Gravy Train.
Were just knocked out
We heard about the sell out
You gotta get an album out,
You owe it to the people. We're so happy we can hardly count.
Everybody is just green. Have you seen the chart?
It's a helluva start, it could be made into a monster
If we all pull together as a team.
And did we tell you the name of the game, boy
We call it Riding the Gravy train

I hope you have enjoyed the lyrics
Untill next time, Im Lord Semaj, and that will be all.

Great shirts on the wrong people

In the wickid world of high school, I see many people walking around with very talented musical artists from the past that dont have a clue about the band/artists! The most common are shirts with Bob Marley on them. I bet they cant come up with 1 Marley song to save their lives! I bet they dont even know that Bob Marley was from the Jamaica.

I also see kids walking around with Led Zeppelin shirts. So I ask them "What's your favorite Zeppelin album?" evrey single person I ask just stares at me then says that they "like them all" which I can easily tell that they cant name one album. Pathetic. Or sometimes they just tell me "that one that came out in the 80's. Every Zeppelin fan knows that there last album(Coda) was in 1982! So it's probally not the "80's" their thinking of!

Another big one is Jimi Hendrix Shirts. I ask all of those ones "name one song by Hendrix!" most of them say "Smoke on the water". Well first of all, that's a Deep Purple song and not a Hendrix one. Second of all, that song came out in 1972, when Hendrix died in 1970!

The last one is one of my favorite bands ever, Pink Floyd. I see kids with the album cover of Dark Side of the Moon on there shirts mostly. I ask them "You know which year that came out?" Do they know? Well absolutly not! They cant even come up with one song on the album! Something that bugs me is when people and websites say "THE" Darkside of the Moon. There is no THE at the beggining! There is only ONE "the" and thats after "of"!!! I also ask them if they can name 1 member of the band, and they never can.

Every once in a while, i'll run into a "fan" of one of my favorite singers, Ozzy Osbourne. I cant ask them whats there favorite song by the "Prince of Darkness" because they'll just say his song, "Crazy Train" which came out in 1979. So, to convince me that there really Ozzy fans instead of just pretending to be, I ask them, "Whats your favorite album" once again, the same with the Led Zeppelin situation, they "dont know". As for myself, I'd have to say my favorite album by Ozzy is "Blizzard of Ozz" which was released in 1980.

There are tons of other shirts that have great bands on them that the kids that dont know anything about, but hose were the major ones.

Untill next time, I'm Lord Semaj, and that will be all.

Modern music sucks.... really bad

Yes, it's true. There is no such thing as GOOD music that comes out today. If you compare todays crappy music with the AWESOME music of the past, (and if you have a fully functional brain) you will see that their is really no comparison. I have some good reasons for my point.

First of all, there is a HUGE lack of instruments. There are no solo's with any of the instruments, and it just seems that there simply there to make "elevator music". If you listen to the song Stairway to Heaven by Led Zeppelin you will hear an awesome guitar solo by Jimmy Page. In fact, many music magazines ranked it the #1 guitar solo of all time. So, why dont the modern rock bands have solo's? Well, I thought about it for a long time, and I believe I have come up with the best answer. Are ya ready? Okay, here it is. They dont have solo's, because they dont have the talent to play them!!! And you know what? If they cant play a solo, THEY DONT DESERVE FORTUNE AND FAME!!!

Another problem with todays music, is that there is no meaning to the lyrics. It seems that "If it rhymes, it's good to go!" and thats just not right. Going back to Led Zeppelin, a lot of there songs dont rhyme like Kashmir, Stairway to Heaven, and the Immigrant song.

Now lets talk about a song that every kid alive knows but dosnt know anything about it. Im talking about the Black Sabbath song Iron Man which came out on there 2nd album "Paranoid" in 1971. Every one reconizes the heavy rift of the song, but like I said, no one knows anything about it. To begin with, the song first stars out with a voice (NOT SINGING) that says "I AM IRON MAN" 95% of all the people who know that song SINGS that line in the famous rift, even though the line is SAID and not SANG! Another thing that brings my pee to a boil is that people hardly ever know about Black Sabbath. But why? We already talked about how almost evrey person on Earth knows the song Iron Man, but they dont know the band who wrote it. That vexes me because Black Sabbath created Heavy metal, and the st00pid kids have never even heard of the band. I honestly dont know why. Black Sabbath SHOULD be as reconized as Elvis. They did after all, create a new brand of music. So, if you have any theroies why none of the kids (except me) have never even heard of Black Sabbath, please share them at the comment section.

Now lets discuss "Heavy Metal" that comes out today. Well, Heavy Metal is hardly the word I would use to describe the music today. All it is, is just a buch of guys SCREAMING at me! Thats it! I dont find that musical at all.

Untill next time, im Lord Semaj, and that will be all.

Facebook: The Devil's Playground

Every where you go you hear its name, and you can't swing a dead cat without hitting someone who uses it. I am talking of course about the disgrase of Facebook.

Yes, it seems every one around has one. There are very few SANE people who actully dont care what other people think and didnt get one. Well, to those who dont have Facebook, I salute you.

To begin with, it can get you into a lot of trouble. If you listen long enough, you can here around the school, "OMG! You cant upload that picture on there you'll get in trouble!" I tell ya what, people are ignorant if they want to risk getting in some serious hot water if they want to upload and inappropriate picture of someone.

Facebook can trash people's lives by making pages speciffically for hating on someone. For example, we have a student here in our school that kids make fun of because they think that he's gay. To protect his identity, we'll just call him, Mr. ******. Now, All the kids at school thought it would just be HILARIOUS to make a fan page called ****** sucks d***s. I am not sure if the page is up yet or not, but even thinking about humiliating ****** is just sick.

Now, lets talk about the st00pid status thing. While I was in the office (where the computer is located) and i saw my sister on it. I happened to see the "wall" thing. Someone was typing weather they should take a bath before or after they eat, and I thought to myself "HOLY CRAP, WHO CARES?!?!?!?!

Well, Im sure YOU can come up with some more problems with Facebook. If I left out something, dont be shy to inform me at the comment section.

Untill next time, Im Lord Semaj, and that will be all.

Movie remakes suck

You know, their seems to be a lot of horror remakes coming out that are completly DISRESPECTING the original movies. For example, do you remember that legendary 1978 film "Halloween? " Even if you never seen it, you probally know who the killer Michael Myers is. This film was a horor legend and classic. That was untill 2007, where Rob Zombie completly ruined it! Now, I love Rob Zombie as a music artist, but not as a Director. The first remake wasnt bad, but the second one just completly BLOWED! First of all, they took away his mysteriousness by showing his face! HOW DARE HIM disrespect the horro icon like that! He also threw in some "White Horse" crap that was just unnecessary! Then they made him yell and scream and all that mumbo-jumbo!

They also neutered Jason in Friday the 13th by making him get through Camp Crystal Lake by underground tunnels. Well that just completly ruined the mood about the superstitious side of our "Hockey masked killer that we all know and love" I cant believe that they are taking Horror Legends, and just doing whatever they want with them! As you probally know, They are now re-making Nightmare on Elm street too! Why are they doing this to them!? WHY?! WHY?! WHY?!
