The whole of this morning was basically spent on reading other people's blog. It started with Kenny Sia and continued to a couple of 15 to 17 year olds who hates people who only NOW decided to like My Chemical Romance. At first, I didn't really mind it but then it got to a point where I felt the pimple on my knee was about to burst.

Lets RANT shall we??!!

I'm going to start with the My Chemical Romance phase that I'm currently going through right now. I admit that I did not like them at first. I thought musically they were all over the place. The guitar riffs and Gerard's constant yelling at some point brought the ache to my head. You know, headaches? I assume that they were not going to last long since they were constantly over doing things. Sooner or later people are going to get bored. But I was wrong. Ever since 'I'm Not Okay (I Promise)' was played on MTV all everyone could talk about was how cool this band is. It became quite annoying when 'Helena' came out and everyone thought that it was such a "powerful" video what with the dead girl who's supposedly dead decides to make herself undead and do some carousel dancing but then probably got a heart attack or something crawled under her skirt and she died again. Talk about emo overload.

I'm aware that the use of the word 'emo' in that sentence may not make any sense just because after 16 years of living I still don't know what the heck emo means and I've come to a decision that I will try every flavour ice cream in Baskin Robbins and won't be giving a flying goose about what emo actually means.

As I was saying, some people moved on from Simple Plan to MCR while some people still think Pierre is cute and Gerard needs to shower and shampoo his hair once in while. Everyone was pushing me to listen to MCR but I kept my ground saying that I'll stick with simple pop rather than 'We'll-Meet-Again-When-Both-Our-Cars-Collide' even though at time, after a rest from Simple Plan I'd blast Three Days Grace on my PC. Therefore, yes I DID NOT like MCR before. I saw their Three Cheers album everywhere but I was more tempted to spent RM40 on cleansing my forehead.

But things changed. I was doing some work while listening to Fly.fm and some kid requested 'Welcome To The Black Parade' by MCR and I thought, 'Oh god, not them again.' But being the patient person that I am, I decided to give them a shot. So the first two verse came along and I automatically changed the station to Hitz.fm and Sexy Back was playing.

Ahh the wonders of that song.

Ok fine, there's a rule that says only judge a song when you've already heard the chorus. I heard the first two verse and I thought it was some cry for help song, you know, the usual MCR so I never even waited for the chorus. I was sure it was going to be a rock ballad from MCR, and just the thought of ballads and MCR gave me the heeba jeebies.

To cut the story short, I finally did stumble upon the chorus and the whole song of course and thought it was the most brilliant song ever made in 2006. You know its a good song when it completely changed your perception of the band and decided to postpone your forehead cleansing and buy the album a week after it was released. THAT was how brilliant the song is to me. To top it off, they had a very cool video which started of kinda bleh but entertaining throughout. All those times I complained about Gerard looking rather unhygenic with that long oily hair were stopped abruptly when I saw that he actually washed his face.

And yeah his hair was short and blonde. Weird, but clean to say the least.

After all that, only NOW I consider myself a My Chemical Romance fan much to the "earlier" fans despair. They think the only reason why I like them now is because they're popular and Mikey is hot. I do admit that they are popular and Mikey IS hot but seriously speaking those were not the reason why I only like them now. The real reason is because MCR has really pushed themselves up to a point where they are actually worth listening too. They were not that great before, but they are great now so thats why I like them...now.

I'm aware that the word 'now' has been used rather thoroughly throughout that paragraph. Until someone comes up with a diffrent word for 'now' I shall use the word 'now' for now.

So to all the "real" MCR fans who were supporting them from the start, buying their second album, spent 8 hours on the internet to get their first album, bought their (forgot the title) DVD with merches and stuff, just because you liked them earlier doesn't mean that the new set of fans aren't important. We are responsible for expanding the fanbase and trust me, no matter how underground an artist is they have dreams of being popular and making lots of money. MCR is popular now, so accept the fact that a lot of people are going to dig them. So what if the only reason they like MCR is because of how orgasmic Frank is, atleast with more fans, the band decides to come out with more albums, and we the music lovers can get a free flow of good music for many years to come.

But seriously you guys, go buy the new MCR album. Its worth every penny.

Next on my rant-to-do list is Panic! At The Disco. Firstly I would like to confess to all the 'earlier' MCR fans that I know exactly how you feel when some 'new' fan decides to tell you the whole life story of Mikey's glasses even though you already have that story embedded in your left aorta. You feel like spanking them and drown them in some sewage pot.

The same thing is happening to me right now. I've heard of P!ATD sometime last year, (Kist wouldn't stop telling me how great they were) so I downloaded all the songs from their album because I knew this band is pretty unknown on TRL therefore the chances of their music being played on MTVAsia would be zero. So, at first I thought they sounded weird, nothing like I've ever heard of before. Songs about wedding and testosterone was something new to me. Eventually, I started liking them. The songs, in my opinion were great. I burned their songs on my CD and it stayed in my CD player for 2 months. I could not stop listening to them.

Then of course, I stopped listening to them. I overplayed all their songs and could practically sing every song in my sleep. SUDDENLY, I saw their 'I bhewbfhbwfhwbf Tragedies' video (I still think they song titles are pretty damn long) on Channel [V] and I was like 'WHOA..VIDEO!!' I thought it was going to stop there, but noooooo. MTV decided to catch up, Fly.fm started to have it on demand and Hitz.fm continued doing what they were good at, playing popular music.

And here I was laughing and pointing at these media thingies probably because they kept saying how P!ATD is a new band and NO ONE has ever heard of them before. Truthfully, I felt it. I felt what it was like to be...COOL. What it felt to be...IN. What it felt like to be...DIFFERRENT. For once I felt somewhat powerful that I discovered this band before MTV did and felt like people should bow and worship me.

My moment of glory was cut short when people in school started talking to me about P!ATD. They tell me things that I already know about the band. To make it worse, they make it sound as though they 'discovered' the band and that they should tell me everything there is to know about P!ATD so that I would not be left out or seem uncool. Of course, once in a while I feel like telling them that I heard about this band waaay before and that they should shut the bloody fuck up because I know more about P!ATD then anyone else outside the Myspace world and leave me alone because my Bio project is not going to finish up by itself. Oh well, I felt like saying that but to me its a little childish and pretty blunt.

But of course, if I did say it then it would just make me a freakin hypocrite. Even more after all that stuff I wrote about MCR's earlier fans. I'm not exactly sure now what it was I wanted to point out but I think that its about me being so bored at home when I should go out and try every flavour ice cream in Baskin Robbins.

Hey, a rant would not be a rant if it made sense now, would it?!

Anyway, my younger brother got his UPSR result slip yesterday. No matter what his result were, people don't have the right to compare him with me. We're two different human beings. Outside and inside. Just because we share the same DNA that doesn't mean we have the same IQ level. We have different interest and different dislikes even though we live under the same roof or better yet stayed in the same womb for 9 months.

He likes strawberry shake, I hate strawberry shake like fresh hell
He supports Chelsea, I support Manchester United
He thinks Kian looks like a girl,I think Kian is a flaming hot manly man
He failed one of his subjects, I aced mine
He likes to cook, I despise switching on the stove
He wants to be a formula 1 driver, I want a bloody boyfriend
He likes to socialize, I dislike homo sapiens literally

Thats only a few of our differences. But why is that people can accept all our differences except the one in bold? Its pathetic because they talk about my brother and me as though its okay to compare. They always tell me that I'll do good in life because I aced a couple of exams but how are they so sure? Why can't they say the same about my brother? Just because getting A's does not come easy for him, does that mean his future would be in jeopardy?

HELL NO.

Personally, I think my brother turn out better as a human being than I am. He's always talking to people and sharing the things he has. He has a lot of love for everyone, even myself and I know that. He doesn't judge people like I do. To think that he's only 12 years old and acting like a good human being compared to me, who's already 16, halfway through life already yet I still act like some spoiled sensitive person is just embarassing. So, no matter how annoying my brother can be to me sometimes I wish for him to have a not just a better life but a great one because of all the people here with me, he deserves it the most.

Also, when he does gets rich and famous, I can maybe borrow some money to hire thugs to kill the bitches that stole my favourite shoes.
