Hallo. my dad was on the computer after I typed a REALLY LONG post (well it wasn't all that important but STILL) and he messed it up. Hahaha. That's okay though. He was looking at RICE LAMPS! Those things are nifty looking.

Anyway. Onto what the blog was about before it went *poof*.

QUOTES!!!!!!!!!!!!

I know so many quotes. These won't be all exact because they're just from memory but now you'll know what I'm talking about if I say one of these........ instead of being all "???" Hahaha. (I LOVE these smileys... haha.)

"Je suis un pamplemousse, donne moi tout vous croissants" - Jade Puget (guitarist of AFI) speaking French 'cause he's rad... in English that means "I am a grapefruit, give me all your croissants." My friend Bryan figured out how to say it in Spanish: "Soy un pomelo, dame todos tus croissants." Haha.

"Want some Jeph piss?" - Jeph Howard (bassist of The Used) because he drinks so much green tea that must be what comes out. He was offering someone some green tea.

"A solar-powered genie." -Jeph on what he'd be if he was a superhero. He'd make everything solar-powered. Including his dog Zelda. She's so cutttteee.

"You all know my good friend Quinn? (crowd cheers) Quinn, meet all my new best friends! (crows cheers more!!)" - Bert McCracken (singer of The Used.) at Taste Of Chaos '07. March 17th... St. Patricks Day. That was one of the best days ever. Next goal: meet The Used.

"God is just a concept, music is tangible." - Quinn Allman (guitarist of The Used.) I agree with him. I don't really know what my stance is on 'is-there-a-God-or-not' but I agree with Quinn...

Branden Steineckert (drummer of RANCID!! ex-drummer of The Used): "Hi Bert from The Used, this is Branden from The Used." (on the phone)
In the background (Quinn, maybe?): "Oh my god he's talking to Bert. Oh my god he's talking to Bert."
Branden: "Haha no... I don't."
Background/possible Quinn: "He's talking to Bert. Oh my God."
Branden: "Bert wants to know if you want to go tanning."

"We have today to live. You gotta take it and make it the best you can." - Bert. I love this quote... my favorite.

"I'm more afraid of imploding than exploding." - Quinn

Camera(Jephmaybe): "This is the backyard where we played croquet and frisbee."
Branden: "Well we played croquet we never played frisbee."
cameraperson: "Sorry just trying to make it sound like we had fun."

"...Jared." -Bert on who his favorite member of My Chemical Romance was. Was because The Used and My Chemical Romance are definitely no longer friends. Someone online somewhere said that everyone sort of separated like gangs when that happened. Sad but true.

Band advice:

"Don't suck. Cease the sucking immediately." - Jade.
I think that one guy from Bowling for Soup said "Don't suck" too. I'll have to ask AAsha.
Billy Joe Armstrong said "Make music with your friends." And I don't really like Green Day but I agree with him because if you make music with your enemies, well that's just not going to work out then, is it?

And last but most def not least:
"If you're in a band... or if you're an artist out there... don't give up on your dreams. Just keep fighting, and your dreams will come true someday. We are The Used from Provo, Utah. This song's called 'Say Days Ago!'" -Bert McCracken. And that's an exact quote, I'm pretty sure.

Hooray.

Byeee. That's all for now.
