RIP CHESTER BENNINGTON

BIGGEST NEWS OF THE WEEK AND IM SURE EVERYONE ALREADY HEARD IS THAT LINKIN PARK'S LEAD SINGER CHESTER BENNINGTON COMMITTED SUICIDE. I COULDNT BELIEVE IT WHEN I HEARD IT... I THOUGHT IT WAS A JOKE, A REALLY BAD JOKE TOO. THEN MORE AND MORE NEWS CAME OUT AND SAD TO SAY, IT WAS REAL. ANYONE THAT KNOWS ME, KNOWS THAT I AM A HUGE LINKIN PARK FAN!!! ALWAYS WAS AND ALWAYS WILL BE. FOR ME IT ALL STARTED WITH "IN THE END" WAY BACK IN... 2001/2002 IM GOING TO SAY. I CANT REMEMBER BUT IT WAS BEFORE THEY MADE THEIR FIRST TOUR TO VANCOUVER. THEN IT JUST KEPT GOING WITH EVERYTHING ELSE THEY CAME OUT WITH. TRUE THERE WERE A FEW SONGS, WELL... FEW CDS EVEN THAT WERENT REALLY LIKE HOW THEY WERE IN THE BEGINNING. I STUCK WITH THEM THROUGH IT ALL. OBVIOUSLY THE BAND GOT BIGGER AND BIGGER AND THEY TRIED OTHER STYLES A BIT, EVEN IF IT DIDNT WORK, I STILL LIKE THEM. HONESTLY LINKIN PARK WAS THE GO TO BAND FOR ME THROUGHOUT HIGH SCHOOL AND EVEN A LARGE PART OF MY LIFE. THEIR LYRICS AND SOUND MATCHED HOW I FELT OR WAS GOING THROUGH. IT MAKES SENSE SINCE LINKIN PARK SANG ABOUT THEIR EXPERIENCES. IT ALWAYS FELT LIKE THEY KNEW AND UNDERSTOOD EVERYTHING. CHESTER HAD A ROUGH LIFE AND THROUGH IT ALL MAKES IT EVEN MORE REAL AND RELATABLE. LP DEFINITELY HELPED ME GET THROUGH TOUGH TIMES IN MY LIFE. IT MADE LIFE BETTER AND SITUATIONS LOOK LESS DARK. THE AMOUNT OF OUTPOUR FOR YOU IS UNBELIEVABLE. YOU HAVE TOUCHED SO MANY LIVES AND HAVE HELPED MORE PEOPLE THAN YOU WILL EVER KNOW. HELL, I EVEN MADE FRIENDS BECAUSE OF YOU. TALK AND SUNG ABOUT YOUR SONGS WITH FRIENDS AND FAMILY AND JUST ENJOYED EVERYTHING THAT YOU CAME UP WITH. IVE JUST BEEN BLASTING LINKIN PARK THE PAST WEEK AND THE LYRICS HIT YOU HARDER NOW THAN EVER. THERE WAS ALWAYS A SONG FOR HOW YOU ARE FEELING. DOESNT MATTER IF YOURE HAPPY OR SAD, THERE WAS ALWAYS SOMETHING FOR YOU. ESPECIALLY FOR WORKING OUT! THERE WAS ALWAYS A SONG THAT CAN GET YOU PUMPED. I CANT BELIEVE THAT YOU ARE GONE, AND I WAS GOING TO SEE YOU IN OCTOBER WHEN YOU CAME BACK BUT I GUESS THATS NOT HAPPENING ANYMORE. IM GLAD THAT I WAS ABLE TO SEE YOU ONCE YEARS AGO. I WASNT ABLE TO GO THE FIRST TIME YOU WERE HERE, BUT I MADE IT THE SECOND TIME. IT WAS MY FAVOURITE CONCERT OF ALL TIME. YOURE GONE NOW, AND I HOPE YOU FIND THE PEACE THAT YOU ARE LOOKING FOR. THERES SO MANY LYRICS THAT CAN FIT HERE... BUT I THINK THE BEST IS THAT "THE SUN WILL SET FOR YOU," REST IN PEACE CHESTER.

GREATER VANCOUVER ZOO & REVIEW

WOOO I WENT TO THE ZOO :) WELL... THE VANCOUVER ZOO... ITS ABOUT MORE OR LESS AN HOUR AWAY FROM VANCOUVER. WENT WITH THE GF AND FRIENDS AND THE BABY. IVE ALWAYS WANTED TO GO BUT JUST HAVENT BEEN ABLE TO MAKE IT OUT THERE, SO FINALLY GOT TO GO. I WAS TOLD ITS SMALLER THAN A LOT OF OTHER ZOOS BUT I SHALL SEE. SOOOO YA ITS A LOT SMALLER THAN THE ZOOS IVE BEEN TO, BUT THATS CAUSE IVE ONLY GONE TO BIG ONES. THOSE TOOK ME FOREVER TO WALK THROUGH IT ALL. THIS ONE IS LIKE ONE BIG CIRCLE. THE TIGER WASNT OUT, THE GIRAFFE WAS HIDING HALF INTO THE BUILDING, AND HALF OF THE LAZY ANIMALS WERE SLEEPING LOL. THEY HAVE 2 PEACOCKS JUST WALKING AROUND, AND ONE OF THEM IS AN ALBINO PEACOCK TOO!!! HAVENT SEEN THAT BEFORE. WE DECIDED TO RENT A BIKE SO WE CAN BIKE AROUND THE ZOO BECAUSE WE DIDNT WANT TO WALK IT LOL. SO WE WENT TO THE ZOO TO BIKE HAHA. IT WAS ONLY LIKE NEAR THE END OF THE DAY DID WE REALIZE WE WENT BACKWARDS LOL. THE MAP SHOWS YOU HOW YOURE SUPPOSE TO GO, AND WHICH WAY... WE WENT THE OPPOSITE HAHA. OH YA THE BEAR DIDNT SHOW UP EITHER. IT WAS INTERESTING AND A RANDOM SATURDAY AFTERNOON TRIP LOL. THEN WE TRIED TO GO TO OLIVE GARDEN... LETS JUST SAY THAT DIDNT HAPPEN AND WE ENDED UP AT MONTANA, WHERE THEY ARE OPEN 8 DAYS!!! LOL ITS THEIR SLOGAN HAHA.

JUST WATCHED TRANSFORMERS: THE LAST KNIGHT. IM A FAN SO I DONT CARE WHAT OTHER PEOPLE SAY, I HAD TO WATCH IT LOL. ANYWAYS IT STARS: MARK WAHLBERG, JOSH DUHAMEL, STANLEY TUCCI, ANTHONY HOPKINS, LAURA HADDOCK, ISABELA MONER, AND JOHN TURTURRO. THIS WAS MICHAEL BAYS LAST TRANSFORMER FILM AND THEY JUST WENT BIG ON THE ACTION. JUST THROW TONS OF ACTION AND EXPLOSIONS AND AUDIENCE WILL FORGET THAT THERES A LOT OF HOLES IN YOUR PLOT HAHA. SO MANY THINGS AND QUESTIONS... HOW DID MEGATRON SURVIVE... AGAINNNNNNNN. I MEAN STARSCREAM DIDNT... JOHN TURTURRO HAD A SMALL ROLE... HOW WAS HE ABLE TO DO THAT FROM CUBA... WOULDNT SOMEONE KNOW THE TABLE WAS THERE? WHERE DID THE LAST KNIGHT COME FROM? WHERE WERE THE REST OF THE KNIGHTS? SHE JUST HAPPENS TO BE THE LAST DESCENDANT OF MERLIN... AND THATS REALLY CYBERTRON... THAT DOESNT LOOK LIKE IT. OH AND UNICRON... REALLY... WEAK UNICRON, DISAPPOINTED ABOUT THAT ONE, I MEAN THATS IT... REALLY? OH AND HOW HOW DOES BUMBLEBEE REASSEMBLE ITSELF LIKE THAT... OH AND WHY WOULD THAT CREATOR BOT HAVE TO WAIT FOR SOMEONE TO COME, SHE COULD HAVE BASICALLY GONE TO EARTH... SO MANY QUESTIONS AND ISSUES WITH IT BUT MEH IT WAS A LONE 2.5 HOUR MOVIE HAHA. EITHER WAY I LIKED IT, COULD HAVE BEEN BETTER BUT MEH. GIVE THIS A 7/10, ITS NOT THE BEST ONE BUT NOT THE WORST, I ACTUALLY DONT EVEN KNOW WHERE TO RANK THIS IN THE FRANCHISE... LOL.

POST #300!!!

WOW!!! I CANT BELIEVE THAT THIS IS POST #300!!! ALMOST 6 YEARS OF POSTS, ONCE A WEEK, EVERY WEEK WITHOUT FAIL. THIS IS REALLY THE ONLY THING THAT I HAVE KEPT UPDATED. EVERYONE THAT I KNEW WHO BLOGGED HAS LONG LEFT BLOGGING, BUT I STAYED AND KEPT THIS GOING. I WANTED TO THANK ALL YOU READERS OUT THERE. ITS KNOWING SOMEONE OUT THERE WILL READ IT AND MAYBE YOU MADE THEM THINK. ITS ALSO JUST SOMETHING THAT I DECIDED TO KEEP GOING, JUST HAVE SOMETHING PUT ON PAPER AND SAY THAT I KEPT WITH AND DIDNT QUIT. IM ACTUALLY PASSING OUT RIGHT NOW BUT I NEED TO DO THIS!!! IVE MENTIONED IT BEFORE, I REALLY DONT KNOW HOW MUCH LONGER THAT I WILL KEEP BLOGGING. ITS HONESTLY AN OUTLET FOR ME. YOU CAN ALL SEE THAT I USE TO POST MEANINGFUL POSTS OR UPDATE ABOUT MY LIFE, BUT NOW ITS MOSTLY ABOUT MOVIE REVIEWS. I REALLY WANT TO GET BACK TO THOSE DAYS, BUT I JUST DONT HAVE THE TIME OR ENERGY TO DO THAT. WHO KNOWS, MAYBE IL CHANGE THE WAY I BLOG OR JUST BLOG LESS OFTEN. ONLY TIME WILL TELL WHAT I DO, BUT DONT WORRY GUYS AND GALS, YOU ALL WILL BE THE FIRST TO KNOW!!! :)

SMALL QUICK MOVIE REVIEW ON "THE HOUSE" THAT I WATCHED LAST NIGHT WITH THE GF. THERES SO MANY MOVIES OUT RIGHT NOW... HOW ARE WE SUPPOSE TO WATCH IT ALL!?!?! ANYWAYS THIS STARS WILL FERRELL, AMY POEHLER, AND JASON MANTZOUKAS. BASICALLY WILL AND AMY'S DAUGHTER WHOS PLAYED BY RYAN SIMPKINS, GOT INTO UNIVERSITY BUT THEY DONT HAVE THE MONEY TO PAY FOR IT, SO THEY DECIDE TO MAKE THEIR OWN UNDERGROUND CASINO. THEN A LOT OF SHENANIGANS HAPPEN THROUGHOUT. IN THE MOVIE RYAN SIMPKINS LOOKS AND SOUNDS LIKE NINA DOBREV. I SWEAR THE WHOLE TIME I THOUGHT IT WAS NINA BUT IT COULDNT BE... AND IT WASNT LOL. IF ANY OF YOU ARE GOING TO WATCH IT, JUST CHECK IT OUT. IT SOUNDS AND LOOKS LIKE NINA. THE MOVIE IS A BIT RANDOM, AND IT HAS ITS FUNNY POINTS. IT DOESNT REALLY TELL YOU WHAT HAPPENED AFTER AND SOME OF THE STORY POINTS JUST WASNT THOUGHT OUT PROPERLY. IF YOU WANT A MOVIE THAT YOU DONT HAVE TO THINK AND JUST ENJOY, THEN I WOULD SAY WATCH THIS MOVIE. I MEAN ITS FUNNY, BUT SOME OF WILL FERRELL'S OTHER MOVIES IS BETTER. I GIVE THIS A 7.18/10.

SO THE PAST WEEKEND I WON TICKETS TO THE COMEDY MIX. LETS JUST SAY THAT THIS TIME WAS MUCH MUCH FUNNIER THAN THE FIRST TIME I WENT. THIS TIME THEY HAD DAN QUINN, SOMEONE IVE HEARD OF AND SEEN ON TV BEFORE. NOT JUST HE WAS FUNNY, BUT MOST OF THE COMEDIANS THAT NIGHT WERE PRETTY GOOD. OH I ALSO HAD TO GET A NEW TIRE AGAIN... YUP... AGAIN... ANYWAYS THIS TIME ITS A PROBLEM WITH THE TIRE ITSELF. THERES A PLACE WHERE A BUBBLE HAS FORMED AND IT JUST DOESNT LOOK RIGHT. SO EITHER WAY I BROUGHT THE CAR IN AND GOT A NEW TIRE... CATCH IS THAT THEY DONT HAVE IT IN STOCK AND HAD TO ORDER IT... SO BASICALLY I WAS ON A DONUT FOR 4 DAYS BEFORE I GOT THE NEW TIRE TODAY. SINCE THEN, ITS BEEN PRETTY GOOD. OH OH OH ALSO TODAY I HAD DINNER WITH A GOOD FRIEND I HAVENT SEEN IN A WHILE. IT WAS NICE CATCHING UP AND TALKING ABOUT RANDOMNESS AND JUST ADULTING LOL. NOW SLEEP AND BACK TO THE GRIND.

SOME OF THE STUFF WAS MEH BUT IT WAS COOL WATCHING THEM ESPECIALLY SINCE I FOLLOW THEM AND WATCH FOOL US.

SUNDAY WENT TO TOP SHOT AND OMG!!! TOO GOOD. SO BASICALLY THEY USE TRAINING SIMULATIONS AND TRAINING AMMUNITION. AFTER THE SIMULATIONS AND ALL WE GET TO SHOOT EACH OTHER WITH EITHER MARKERS, WHICH IS LIKE A BB PELLET BUT WITH PAINT, OR A SHOCK BELT. WE CHOSE THE SHOCK BELT HAHA. WE ALSO PUT IT ON MAX INTENSITY... WHICH IS A PRETTY GOOD JOLT TO THE GUT. THEN WE WENT TO CUT WHICH IS THE RESTAURANT BY WOLFGANG PUCK. LETS JUST SAY THAT WAS A REALLY NICE STEAK. EVEN THOUGH IT WAS A 8 OUNCE STEAK, THE QUALITY WAS AMAZING. WE ALSO GOT US A $150 6 OUNCE JAPANESE WAGYU STEAK. WE ALL SHARED A 6 OUNCER AND PARTS OF IT DID MELT BUT REST I HAD TO CHEW A BIT HAHA. FIRST WORLD PROBLEMS EH. NOW I CAN SAY THAT IVE ACTUALLY HAD REAL JAPANESE WAGYU.

MONDAY WENT TO EGGSLUT TO SEE WHAT THE FUSS IS ALL ABOUT. THEIR SANDWICHES WAS PRETTY GOOD. THE SLUT IS BASICALLY EGG ON TOP OF MASH POTATOES. ITS ACTUALLY NOT BAD INDEED. THEN WE WENT TO GO WATCH PARANORMAL MIND READING MAGIC. IT WAS FROM FREDERIC DA SILVA, AND MAN DID HE BLOW OUR MINDS... IT WAS RELLY SOMETHING. I WAS ABLE TO GET THE BACHELOR ON STAGE AS WELL. ATE AT YARDBIRD. WENT TO WATCH THE BELAGGIO FOUNTAIN TO WATCH THE WATER SHOW. ALSO WENT OT TOP GOLF TOO.

TUESDAY WE WENT INTO THE DESERT FOR THE GUN RANGE. WHAT A TIME WE HAD. ALL THE DIFFERENT GUNS WERE GREAT TO SHOOT OFF. PACKED UP AND WENT TO GO WATCH THE BLUE MAN GROUP. IT WAS ALRIGHT, IT WASNT AS GOOD AS I HAD HOPE. THEN PICKED UP EVERYTHING AND WE WERE OFF. WENT TO SHAKE SHACK BEFORE WE WENT TO THE AIRPORT. THEN HOME WE WENT.

THERES GAMBLING THROUGHOUT THE TRIP AS WELL. THE TRIP WAS A LOT OF EATING AS WELL. MAN WE DID A LOT. WE THOUGHT THERE WOULD BE A LOT OF OPEN TIMES IN OUR SCHEDULE BUT EVERYTHING WAS TIMED PERFECTLY SINCE THERE WERE LOTS OF VARIABLES. IT WAS A FUN TRIP, BUT NOW BACK TO REALITY. OH OH OH AND I SAW ONE OF THE POKER PLAYERS I FOLLOW AT THE CASINO. I EVEN WENT AND TALK TO THE PERSON AND GOT A PICTURE HAHA.

LETS SEE WHAT ELSE WAS THERE? REST OF THE WEEK WAS JUST CHILL AND HANG OUT. OH OH OH!!! I DID FINALLY GET A CHANCE TO HANG OUT WITH AND CATCH UP WITH AN OLD FRIEND. ITS BEEN TOO LONG AND IT WAS NICE GETTING TO JUST MEET UP AND SEE HOW EVERYTHINGS BEEN.
