~*~::{Saw V Review}::~*~

**THE FOLLOWING POSTS HAS MANY MANY SPOILERS!  I WARN YOU!**


So.  The ever-so awaited sequel Saw V came out last friday.  Of course, I had to go see it right after school. (Saw V at 5:00)
I bought my Saw V ticket "legally" (that word is just thrown around these days...)

So.  This movie.  

HOLY FLOPPING TITTIES OF DOOM!  I mean...it was lovely.  You have to watch the first 4 to really understand what this is all about, but if you are an obsessive, devoted fan like I am, it will rock your socks and you will saw-gasm with the rest of us. (Yes, that's right...saw-gasm...)

Detective Strahm is the last detective/policeman alive that isn't corrupt or part of Jigsaw's sick games.  He is on the trail of Detective Hoffman, who is the newly revealed Jigsaw apprentice.
In this movie, we learn about his involvement and why he is part of this mixed up world. 
We see just a snippit of Jill Tuck (Jiggy's ex-wife (who's a babe)) get a box as the last thing he leaves her in his will.  She opens the box and walks out of the room very suspiciously.  Thanks to the lovely people on the Saw V boards at IMDb.com (LOVE YOU GUYS) a scene was shown that wasn't in the movie where Jill has the box and says "I know who you are" which was directed at Hoffman (see the movie and you'll get it...) and then she walks down a hall where we see tons of pictures of people with tapes under them.  So obvious she's the apprentice...but anyway. 
We then go to these 5 people that are put into a trap.  They are said to be connected.  Just watch the clip.  "Saw V Neck Tie Trap" so...if you didn't care to watch that, then you fail.  (I'm going on without you...)
The twist of this movie is that normally, all the people put into the traps are losers like druggies, murderers, rapists, and such.  (etc, etc) but this movie, high class people are put into traps.  Contractors, journalists, city planners, and real estate agents.  (Not so much the arsonist drug addict, but wutevs.)
So.  Anyway, the movie continues showing these 5 people go one by one dying off like flies until the grand finale trap where they learn they could've saved eachother by following the rules and working together.  (teamwork) The movie also continues with Strahm trying to catch Hoffman for the monster he is, while Hoffman is setting up Strahm to make it look like he's the real apprentice.  (Tug-o-war.)
The movie ends with Strahm thinking he's sneaky, trying to kill Hoffman...he's not.  He ends up dying (squishy squishy) and Hoffman having the last (living) laugh. 

Saw VI comes out next October.  I shall be counting the days. 

*saw-gasm*

~*~::{Veil of Lies}::~*~

The smiley face you see is not what happens on the inside.  Like a veil, it covers who you truly are and distorts the truth.  All the lies you have to say are your veil and all the people you feel you have to appease are your audience just waiting for you to crumble under the pressure of the high expectations you set for yourself.
People see a smile that they think makes everything okay and happy; happy on the outside, crying on the inside.  They don't know what you go through; working your hardest to just feel adequate enough to continue your life.  
They see a person with potential and you see a worthless slug.  You try to hide from the world without letting anyone know you're really hurting; acting to be someone you're not.  Is a shoulder to cry on so much to ask?  Occasionally, a friend will ask if everything's okay.  You know it's not and they know it's not...so why can't you tell them?  Fear of being yelled at for being so negative, which in turn, would make things even worse. 
You cry every night wanting that one special person to hold you close and never let go.  You fear rejection and loss.  You never get your hopes up so you can't ever get hurt anymore.  Nothing goes your way.  The one time you do get your hopes up, they come crashing down and make you feel worse. 
It may seem hard right now, but you have to rip off the veil.  Let people see you for who you truly are.  They may not like it, and at times, neither will you.  But it's the one thing that can set you free.

~*~::{Rant #1: I Hate People}::~*~

I've had enough of this.  People lying to me.  Everybody lies to me and thinks it's okay.  It's not f**cking okay to lie to someone.  Okay, an occasional lie here and there, I can handle it, but the constant barrage of lie after lie after lie (yes, after lie) isn't okay anymore. 
This isn't directed at one person in particular, but everyone as a whole, actually.  Everybody does it.  A little white lie (No, dear, your pants don't make your ass look fat) (Yes, I'd love to go out with you) (I heard Janet said that Brad said that Brittany said that Jack said that Mary said that...etc, etc) to gossip that affects everyones lives.  

Now, after years and years of "research" I have come to 2 rules of people that work with me.  

1.) I hate people - trust nobody.  I have been lied and cheated so many times that I just find it easier to not trust people.  Everytime I do, they piss all over that trust and just pretend it's not there.  (there are obvious exceptions)

2.) People are of a hostile nature and only like to appease themselves - they will do whatever they can to make themselves happy over other people no matter what the cost usually.  There are obvious exceptions that make this not true (marriage, lust, wanting to get in someone's pants, best friends, etc) but what I have come to believe is that people are, mostly, good people that do bad things.  They don't always try to do these bad things, though.  It is just instinct. (again, obvious exceptions....) 

Now...some of you may wonder why I've posted something like this instead of a writing...well, basically, I'm just being really pissy right now...but...yes.  That's about it.  I am yet another person that is good doing bad things apparantly, because I can't appease anyone.  

Just remember...you can't make everyone happy.  Don't try to.  You'll only hurt yourself in the process.

~*~::{Boredom Post #1: Saw V}::~*~


Okay, so today, I'm not going to put a writing of mine.  (The next writing you can expect, though, are my wicked Haikus that we did in the Writing Club.)  Instead, I am gonna write about Saw V and my excitement. 
Well, as of now, only 13 days until this epic wait is over.  I've been counting down since like, 150 days (because I'm cool...shut up...) so this is exciting me beyond all ends.  
What's exciting me even more than the imminent gore that awaits me in 13 days, I get to see the beautiful Meagan Good. (Shut up, you know she's hot...)

There are numerous Saw V trailers out on TV, but they have not come out with an official theatrical trailer, which makes me very angry.  I will just have to wait until October 24th to see all the good stuff!


I LOVE MEGAN GOOD!

~*~::{Boo}::~*~

Well, today is a day of firsts, folks. A big big day of firsts. Today is the first actual post on this blog of mine. Having to do with the actual post itself, it’s the very very very first (very first) writing that I ever wrote. I wrote this in 7th grade. After many many revisions, I am finally proud of where it is. Please leave tons of comments and tell me what you think.

Much obliged.

Now, normally, this is how things are going to work. I will usually give a little bit of back-story on what the story is about or what was going through my mind when I wrote it so you aren’t lost in the first sentence.

This particular writing (like most of my writings) have to do with human emotion and how they react when certain things arise. This selection, for example, is a writing about paranoia and how people get when they become scared.

Enjoy!

Home. Only three blocks away. No problem I thought to myself as I left my little job at the neighborhood coffee shop. It was very dark out that particular evening and the only lights that guided my way home were very dim street lights that flickered every couple minutes.
Step, step, step. Breathe. A cloud formed at my mouth as my eventual exhale was met by the beginning of my next breath. Only a block away from work and the brisk autumn air began to chill my bones. Readjusting my coat and hat, I continued walking, only to stop suddenly when I heard steps in-between my own. I wonder who’s behind me I wondered to myself. I turned around. Nothing.
I began walking once again, just rolling the little situation off of my shoulders. It was nothing. It couldn’t have been anything. Calming down, I began walking a normal pace again…until the steps got louder and louder.
I turn around one more time to just settle my stomach and reassure myself there was nothing there, but alas; nothing except for a deep hiss that sounded like it was right next to my ear whispering.
Now thoroughly freaked out, tears ran down my cheek as I reached the end of my block. Only one more block. If I can make one more block, then I’ll be safe in my house. The hissing got louder and it rolled into a quiet chuckle. The footsteps getting closer and closer together was just further proof that I was being followed.
I was able to see my house. I was almost safe, but the footsteps kept closing in. I sprinted to my front door scrambling for the keys. They dropped on the ground and the footsteps stopped. A clicking was all I could hear. Whatever was following me was right behind me. Bawling now, I turned around to see a note. Just a note. I opened it up and read it.

“Boo.”

~*~::{Introductions, Introductions}::~*~

Well, where to begin.  This is my first post on an actual blog.  We were told to make blogs for our English class.  I kinda got addicted to that, but was angry we had to limit it to "English Appropriate Assignments," so I decided to make my own, with all the rambles, stories, and news I wanna talk about. 
I believe we should start with an introduction.  My name is Mitch.  Technically, I'm Christian, but I am going down a path leading more towards Buddhism.  I'm a Sophomore in high school, and as of right now, I am leaning towards majoring in
 Chemistry or Creative Writing.  That may change, though.  I have 3 years to figure that out...like most of my homework assignments and such, I will probably wait until last minute to figure out what I wanna do in life when it matters (the last half of senior year).
Right now, though?  I'm a member of the Sober Squad (cause it's cool to not drink... >.>), the Spanish Club, the Science Club, the Ping Pong Club, and the Nationwide Famous Edina Marching Band (home of the Fighting Hornets).
In marching band, I play the baritone horn (which is a small tuba-ish thing...) but in concert band, I play the bassoon (which is a very large clarinet type thing that's very low...)
As I mentioned before, I have a passion for Chemistry (which is why I'm getting an A in that class and why I joined the Science Club) and I have a burning passion for Writing, which is why I am starting this blog; to express my emotions, thoughts, and unecessary commentaries. 
When it comes to friends, they are the most important things in my life.  Homework is a close second, but my friends and family are the most important and influential thing that have ever existed in my life.  They raise me up when I'm down, and all that corny stuff that will bring tears to your eyes. 
Music?  Anything with a good beat to it that I can dance to idiotically, I'm good.   Leona Lewis, Paramore, Panic! At The Disco, and Rihanna are my favorites, though.
I will periodically write stories, ramble on about nothing, or just give news about my life.  'cause I know you are all so interested in that...

All acquainted now?  Good...


17 Days and Counting Until Saw V!
