As of March 24, 2009 this journal is locked; friends only. Comment to be added. Only my graphics and maybe a few random entries will be public. Feel free to still add me to view my public entries on your Friend's Page, but I won't add you back so you can see my "friends only" posts unless you comment this post or I've talked to you elsewhere.



Hi, this is my first time posting a journal entry. This will probably be the only entry I do (at least for now). I mainly use my livejournal for communities. As you can probably tell, I love Paramore.  Feel free to drop a comment.

Rock On!

Paramore Fan-Made Compilations
ThxJeremy
[info]howstupidistht
Welcome! You've stumbled upon my page of past (and future - so you might want to bookmark this page) Paramore compilations. All of these are MEDIUM to HIGH quality mp3s. Occasionally, a better quality video or new video might come up and I'll update the compilations so be sure to check the date in the "READ ME" with the dates listed here to make sure you have the latest version. If you have any questions or requests, just let me know. Also, if any links expire, tell me so I can re-upload.

Note: DO NOT DOWNLOAD THESE AND RE-UPLOAD SOMEWHERE ELSE WITHOUT KEEPING THE "READ ME" WITH THE CREDITS AND LINK BACK TO THIS ENTRY. I took the time to search for the best videos, rip them, tag them, upload them, and give credit to the original videographers and photographers for Paramore fans to enjoy so please don’t download them, change them up, and claim them as your own.

Translation Party
yes.
[info]howstupidistht
Everyone, try this!

1. Go to http://translationparty.com/, type in any phrase, and click "find equilibrium".
2. Copy and paste the link (ex: http://translationparty.com/#2592445) and put the equilibrium, if there is one, in the subject of your comment.

Some of them turn out very funny. The slightest things such as capitalization, punctuation, and misspellings can change the equilibrium drastically. Have fun!

PS - Kate, your new nickname is Keitobiado (Japanese for "kate" and "beard", it's perfect), LMAO xD

Oh my Ignorance, the video is flippin' awesome - officially my favorite Paramore video!

Here are my thoughts (and for once I didn't read other people's comments yet so these are completely my own and unbiased, lol):
wooo )

PS - I seriously don't have time to check all the Paramore posts and comments right now, anything good that I shouldn't miss/have missed?

Check out my Flickr2 for the rest. I have more pics of ND and quite a few 30 second clips of video that’ll I’ll upload another time. I also have the full audio for Paramore (Miz Biz, FAPIPO, Pressure, Ignorance, Crushx3, Decoy, WIR, WTLO, TWYG, LTFB, Decode complete with the talks in between) and No Doubt but I can’t find the USB cable for it so that will be uploaded later, as well.

Finally F***ing Finished

Katz!

I finished today! What do you think? I did a quick sketch, cut up magazine clippings and scrapbook paper, and pasted them on with modge podge.





Paramore Essay

[info]howstupidistht
So I sat down to think about what I was going to write my casual analysis (cause and effect) essay on and couldn’t come up with anything to save my life. I wanted to do something that wouldn’t require much research and was interesting. And than it hit me. Why not write about Paramore, especially since I love them and know so much?

The Last Lecture
sam tsui
[info]howstupidistht
After the Student-Led Conference night at my school, running into my awesome Speech and Debate teacher, and reading his “Last Lecture” speech that he gave us the last day of the semester that he had framed on his shelf, I looked back at last semester. I remembered how Mr. Vernier showed us Randy Pasuch’s “Last Lecture” and after it ended he read a news piece about his passing. I was so moved by it.

Mr. V announced that our first speeches would be our very own “Last Lecture”. This was my Last Lecture: The Four L’s. I later refined it in an essay I did this semester for AP English III.

If you haven't seen this video before, take the hour and sixteen minutes to watch it sometime, it's really moving. I rarely ever tear up at things I watch, but this always brings me to tears – “I’m dying and I’m having fun” :’). So inspirational.

If you don’t have time, here is the very condensed ten minute version so you can get a gist of it (but it doesn’t do the full one any justice).
I'm proud to have picked up his book and the audio book.

Words cannot explain how outstanding that class was and how I feel about it, my classmates, and Mr. Vernier – we were like a family.

Fastball CD Cover DRAFT - Feedback Appreciated
sam tsui
[info]howstupidistht
Hey guys,

Below is my draft for the Fastball "Little White Lies" CD cover project for my graphic design class. I'm being graded on the principals of ALIGNMENT, BALANCE, REPETITION, and CONTRAST.

I'm aiming to get the top 10 of my teacher’s three classes so it will be entered in the "contest" - Fastball is playing a free show at Verrado and is going to judge the 10 best CD covers :D.

What do you think of it? Are the colors, positioning, sizes, etc okay? Does this pop out at you and make you want to buy the CD? Do the live pics make you think it is a live CD, should I use photoshoot pics? Any comments, suggestions, or ideas would be very helpful.

Thanks!!

My Hayley Grid Drawing
sam tsui
[info]howstupidistht
For my Art Fundamentals class we had been working on a grid assignment that focuses on the element of value. I chose the Andrew Kendall pic of Hayley to make a 1x1 grid for the bigger drawing paper which is on a 2x2 grid. I had posted at notpmorerelated to let out my excitement for my grid drawing. Now it's all done and I got a chance to take pics (they aren't the best pics - just from my camera phone - but I thought I'd share). It's not perfect, but it's pretty darn close and not too bad for my first time. Let me know what you think!

It's all about communicating with an audience!
sam tsui
[info]howstupidistht
When that latest Singing Success video of Hayley came out (amazing, by the way), I checked out the site this time to see if the "sign up" was free so I could see the whole video; lo and behold, it wasn't, but it was worth the check ;). So I signed up for the only thing that was free, "The 9 Biggest Lies About Singing" daily e-mail. I got a surprise Lie #10 today and it made me think about Paramore; Lie #10 being “It's all about your ability to sing.” The email went on to say “And this one is not about singers...it's about communicating songs! … It's all about communicating with an audience! It's all about communicating great songs and their emotions. And a singer can do that even if he or she does not have amazing vocal talent!” It goes on to say that you are not better off un-talented, but that there is more to it than just the amount of talent you have – showmanship and how you communicate your music, feelings.
