The take over, the break nearly is over...

First of all, Merry Christmas everybody or for others Happy Hanukkah, and I don't know if you wish people a Happy Kwanzaa, but I will... Fall Out Boy's Christmas message is sent out under the form of a free 'Yule shoot your eye out' download somewhere on www.friendsorenemies.com .
Secondly, I should be studying, but I'm on my hourly break, so here's an update.

• I don't know if I'll still post before January 2nd, but those who are able to watch NBC's Law and Order that day, you will find that the mad, (and for once) hatless hatter did it again. After singing, writing and producing the man that keeps the hat industry running on his own, took up acting. Hardcore obsessed teenies or less obsessed hardcore fans already knew our favourite, smart blonde likes acting. So there was his chance. I must say, the clip I saw on TRL was pretty promising. He's playing a lowly, office employee being suspected of a murder and a kidnapping. Although we know him as America's sweetheart, he still has an eery maniacal aura over him. Anyhow: yay versatile Patrick :-).
• I heard this new song on the radio: 'You cut me open'. I think OMG's and WTF's are in order here. "Son, why did you murder you girlfriend?" "I don't know pop, I just wanted to see if she kept bleeding love..." I mean, does she even understand what she's singing...? 'You cut me open and I keep, keep bleeding the love...' Nothing wrong with the rest of the lyrics, nor with the music. Ah well...maybe her next single will be named: 'I love you' and goes a li'l something like this: 'I love you so much, so much I just want to eat you alive' Watch out emo-kids, move over for horro-kids. You go Leona Lewis...
• Picking through celebrity gossip, I found out Britney Spears has been voted worst dressed celeb of the year, hey it's not her fault, she has to pay child support and can't buy new clothes, so what do you do when you can't fit into your undies anymore and lack the money to buy new ones, right....You don't wear them, simple no? Plus it gives us a whole new insight on her shaving off her hair. Do you know how many products us girls use on our hair? It just saved her a lot of money and bathroom time so she can spend more time with her kids... ahem....
• It's not nice to trash Bitbit like that, soooooooooooooo....Let's talk Cruise, Tom Cruise... He's jolly, he's fun, never grumpy, ideal dad, good looking, short but cute, into scientology, PMS-ing (what was that with the water?), manipulative and an a$$... Katie, Katie, Katie what have you done? Wasn't Dawson good enough? What about Pacey? :-( Appearently husband dearest decides what Katie does, Katie wears, Katie eats, Katie believes.... But she is starting to bark back. She won't put up with it anymore she does what she wants and wants a say in the way her daughter Surimi.... ehm sorry, Suri is being raised. You go Katie!

Anyhow I'm gonna go to bed now. M-L keep on rocking girl, Sara say hi to Santa and Rudolph when you see them. Hey Chris! I'll see you on Monday!
All you American people out there, drive safely and keep rocking...

Don't come home for Christmas, you're the last thing I want to see underneath the tree...

Baby, seasons change but people don't....

Ladies and gentlemen, it has been a while, yes, but I'm back. I want to start this entry with a complaint, not about exams, not about certain people, not about men, but about a movie that has been dubbed into French and Dutch. 'Alvin and the chipmunks', up until this afternoon I was über-excited to go see it, but I just found out that the only versions are French or Dutch. No original version with subtitles, nope, just plain dubbing. I checked every movie theatre, but nope, my prayers have not been answered and now I'm just plain pissed. I am going to boycot this thing unless Christine (yay girlfriend I'm mentioning you!! ;-) ) persuades me to still go. It just loses its cuteness and funnyness by dubbing it.

On a brighter note, Christmas is coming, so all of you (Chris, M-L and Sara) will be getting their X-mas cards soon. I'll write them tomorrow and post them on Saturday with a prior-stamp. (Yes, our post-office is open on S'days). I'm spending Christmas at my grandparents as usual, and New Year's eve with my parents, unless I have a boyfriend by then, but then again everybody has their nose in one or the other book, so I don't think those chances are high.

Books, they bring me to the inevitable: E-X-A-M-S. Ieeuw, yuck, nasties, poop,.... I hate them but I love them. Everybody's so stressed out about them, yet I'm relaxed. I believe that if I study enough and prepare everything, things will go all right. So for all of you out there having to do those dreadful things in the near future, good luck. (Did I really say dreadful?)

I have seen the trailer of a new movie 'The Orphanage', I think it's Spanish or something, but I loved it. It's old school horror, or at least I think. I have a thing or two to say about new-school horror, but I'll dedicate an entry to that alone.

This entry is very chaotic, I know. But atm, I am. There are things I forgot to mention, without a doubt, but I'll try to put them in a future entry.

I'll leave you guys hanging on to my words, I hope you don't fall...
I need to go shopping tomorrow for gifts. I'll give up somewhere halfway through Santa's list...

Don't come home for Christmas, you're the last thing I want to see underneath the tree...

My interpretation

A couple of days later than expected but here it is: the long awaited update! Let's see... It's been two weeks since I last updated so stuff must have happened! The major event of the last two weeks is no doubt the Mika-gig. Let's see how that Tuesday went:

• I got up at 8am to get my room sorted, company would come over and me and my room were a mess.
• I left at 11 am to arrive at the venue at 12 pm, note that the show began at 8 pm and then the waiting began. I met a couple of people from the Mika-fanclub (http://www.mikafanclub.com) and we stood in line together. I waited for 8 hours and it didn't kill me, then again, I waited for 9 hours to see Fall Out Boy and that didn't kill me either.
• After hours of waiting in the rain they let us in and we got a spot all the way up front. The pre-show was horrid. This band 'Alphabeat' opened. Frankly, the one guy was dressed in pink and he was überspastic.
• Anyhow the Mika show was absolutely fantastic. It couldn't beat FOB, but nothing can. It was joyful, funny, playful.... It was a huge party, a fiësta with balloons and confetti and plush animals...I didn't take any pics or videos, but if you search on YouTube I'm sure you'll find some. If anyone wants to know more details about the show, I'm sure nobody will, but if ever you do just comment or something and I'll write a more detailed report.
• After the gig me, Priscilla and a couple of othe members of the Mika-fanclub waited to get an autograph. And boy am I glad we did! He came out to greet us and greeted us individually while signing. Some guys next to me kept talking to him so I didn't get the chance to really talk to him, but when he signed Priscilla's DVD I went for it and congratulated him with the show and he said: "Oh, thank you." That's all he said, but he did say it.

A few things I found out about myself. I have the hugest American accent but somehow when I have a conversation with a Brittish person I switch and do the Brit. It aggravates me...
A year ago I was afraid to talk to anybody, now I spoke to Mika. A man I look up to. A man... I don't talk to boys let alone men. I can't talk to a guy without stuttering so there was a first. I've proven to be quite the chatterbox and the madman!

Watch out world! Here I come! The new and improved Monco has arrived! (Don't worry I was like that after seeing FOB, it'll wear out)

Oh, Mika, if ever you decide to be vain and google yourself, make sure you read this and next time we should talk a bit more.

It don't make sense to you at all, but this is my interpretation...

P.S.: Moon-Lie: Keep me up to dat about the boy! Congrats!
Sara: I miss you girly, hope you're doing ok!
Chris: I'll call you!

This is not an update...

Due to a lack of time I will update tomorrow on my Mika-meeting :-)

Google me!

I'm proud to announce that my blog is officially searcheable with google! I turned on my guy brain and searched '"Joss Stone" shortest dress'. Guess who came out 5th in a list of 435?! Now loads of pervs will read this blog. I come on somewhere when you search for 'Fall Out Boy', but way to many teenies outranked me. Here's proof of my listing:

Other news:

• I've met my upstairs neighbour, his name's Emanuel and he's nice (for now at least)... I had to ask him to fix internet, lack of internet drove me up the walls and in the fridge. So it's fixed and I dicovered he's a computer wizz, this comes in handy when my lovely Microsoft Windows Vista PC crashes. Will he do this for free?
  
• Pete Wentz broke two bones in his foot. It sounded funnier in Dutch: Hij brak twee benen in z'n voet. Translation: He broke two legs in his foot. In Dutch: been=leg and bone... We're allowed to sign his cast if we bump into him. I'll hold him to that!


• I'm going to the Mika-concert in 189 hours! Although I'm looking forward to it I know I'll never have the wow-feeling again, I lost my wow-virginity to FOB. It's lost forever and only FOB will top that I think....


• Moon-Lie thinks I should be a tabloid journalist... I'll try my best to satisfy her needs and keep everybody up to date on the latest showbizz news. I also won't let the opportunity slip to share my opinion on these colorful creatures, for your entertainment off course.
  

It's true, romance is dead, I shot it in the chest then in the head

No EMA for "Fall Out Boy"

Thursday, November 1st: EMA's. Next to the MTV Music Awards THE biggest event for us music lovers. I voted and voted and voted again about a zillion times, urged everybody to vote, nearly started a poster campaign so that Fall Out Boy could take home at least one award. Just one. I was nervous, vains nearly popping out of every corner of my body (if that's even possible), my heart racing every time they announced FOB as a nominee. But all my votes and the votes of about a thousand other hard-core fans were lost.

Let's see who did win:

• Rock Out: Linkin Park, 30 Seconds to Mars, My Chemical Romance, Evanescence, Fall Out Boy


• Ultimate Urban: Justin Timberlake, Beyonce, Kanye West, Timbaland, Rihana, Gym Class Heroes


• Band: Tokio Hotel, Linkin Park, Fall Out Boy, Good Charlotte, My Chemical Romance


• Most Addictive Track: Umbrella, Girlfriend, Grace Kelly, All Good Things, Rehab, Beautiful Liar


• Headliner: Beyonce, Justin Timberlake, Arctic Monkeys, Foo Fighters, Muse


• Album: Nelly Furtado 'Loose', Amy Winehouse 'Back to Black', Akon 'Convicted', Linkin Park 'Minutes to Midnight', Avril Lavigne 'The Best Damn Thing'


• Solo: Mika, Justin Timberlake, Christina Aguilera, Avril Lavigne, Rihanna, Nelly Furtado


• Inter Act: 30 Seconds to Mars, Depeche Mode, My Chemical Romance, Fall Out Boy, Tokio Hotel


• Video Star: Kanye West 'Stronger', Justin Timberlake 'What Goes Around Comes Around', Justice 'Dance', Bat For Lashes 'What's a Girl To Do', Foo Fighters 'The Pretenders', Chemical Brothers 'Salmon Dance'

Sure, because I'm a big FOB fan I believe they should've won at least two awards. But I'm not a fan because I love Pete's weenie, Patrick's hats, Joe's hair and Andy's tats. I love those guys because they make great/awesome/insane music, Patrick's voice is incredible and he's a musical genius, Pete's a great lyricist, Joe is a great showman and Andy is an awesome drummer. That's why they deserved at least two awards, because they are life altering. They've changed many lives and just recently they changed the lives of thousands of "Invisible Children". You should check out what I'm talking about right here with the video: 'I'm Like A Lawyer With The Way I'm Always Trying To Get You Off (Me and You)'

or check http://www.invisiblechildren.com/ . They deserve it and in my eyes they are winners!

Some other things I noticed:

• During Tokio Hotel's performance the lead singer, the little girly guy, the kid bends over the whole time. He's so static and just keeps doing it a whole time. Now that's showmanship! While totally lacking contact with the audience he just stood there, bending over. Those guys really deserved an award...*sarcastic*
• Amy Whinehouse accepted the 'Artist's Choice' award with the memorable words: "Actually....." and then went off stage. And that was the part we all understood. Later that evening she performed her song "Mwahaahafafa, googalala" or that is all I got from the title. Not to mention the song, she sang something allright, or rather moaned. Because I'm sure nobody got what she was singing. Did she pull a Britney? (A Britney=Showing up drugged at an award show AND performing.)
• Snoop Dog really thought he was the man, although I'm sure nobody in Germanizzle got what the shizzle he was talking about.
• And the award for shortest dress goes to... Joss Stone! Poor girl in my opinion she just forgot to put on her pants, just blame it on the pre-show stress.

All I can say is: better luck next time guys!

'Till next time friends, same black hair, same blog channel, goodnight everybody!
Your host for the evening: Monco...

First post, Fridaynight blues...

So, here it goes, my symbolical first post. Why am I doing this in English?

1. Because it's a holy language, everybody gets it. (Of some sort)
2. It's great practice for the language I'm learning, I could do it in Italian but nobody gets it.
3. Because it seems easier.

I just moved to Brussels, it's an awesome city. Lots of diversity so I don't feel like an outsider anymore AND I have actually made friends in school. So basically I made this blog to let "H"-less Sara, Moon-Lie and Christine Brown (the future Mrs. Chris Brown) know what I'm up to and to let everybody enjoy my life and my adventures in school. I'll try to update as much as I can, but not every day because it would get boring. I'll try to get my profile posted somewhere and if not my second post wil be introductory.

See you guys next time!
XO-reos, Monco
