Today Sweden turned 17.
So yesterday we went to watch a movie.
It was supposed to be clone wars.
But we ended up watching mirrors.
BIG mistake.
Not really.
It wasn't scary AT THE TIME.
But a lot of em we're freaked out.
I think only Melvin, Gurdave and I were laughing our asses off.
But I knew I'd find a way to scare myself.
Like being afraid of using public toilets with large mirrors.
But let's concentrate on Sweden boy for a moment.
Let's see.
This is probably the last Swedish birthday I get to celebrate.(EMO)
Sweden(Jackson) is definitely is one of the most talented artist I've ever known.
He makes complex drawing look easier than doodling.
He picked up bass and guitar in just a few months.
He sing like Chinaman, but still Swedish in his heart.(lol, Jackson pls don't kill me)
He's been one of my biggest influences.
Damn near everything I have or still am into is all his fault.
-Warhammer universe (he convinced me to start playing dawn of war, from then on, he's been trying to get me stop=)
-Non anime detailed artwork (I always liked his massive drawings, the amount of detail put in is outstanding)
-Heavy Metal (thank gurdave and Brendan too, but without Jackson, I'd never had reconsidered listening to this genre)
-Lamb of God (he sent me my first LOG song at BM tuition)
-Nevermore (I remember laughing my ass of hearing that title. I was SOOOO anti D&D at the time. I was at this house after PMR at the time)
-Metallica ( My eldest cousin introduced me to Metallica when I was 6. He broke my innocence! But I stopped listening to them and got back into mainstream stuff after that. But Jackson started after listening to a few of their songs. Which got me listening too. It was downhill all the way since, head first into the endless pit of metal hell-music. lol)
-Hardcore PC Gaming (I owe this to my bro and Yong too, but Jackson kept the pace going throughout form 3, which robbed me of straight A's. I'd have it no other way)
-Graphic Novels (He lent me this super cool warhammer graphic novel, since then, I've been reading stuff like that ever since. Plus Frank Millers 300 and Sin City series)
- LoTR. (this has worn off. But from form 1 till form 3, he kept the LoTR spirit burning)
Writing music with him has always been nice.
Well, the writing part has been nice, as for the actual playing, we hardly get that far;)
Happy Birthday Swedish Jackson.
Hope your whiskers evolve into a full fledged moustache.

I got back from City Square round 4~ish.
got back and was confronted with 3 overly eager young cousins.
It's nice to, you know, have family bonding, but Jeez, I need some space too!
I can't use the PC till it's after hours, the only time I get to read my books is when they're napping. I need a vacation!
So anyway, I got back, and decided I wanted to be alone for a moment.
So I chose my victim.
Hector, my big boned, chocolate colored, golden eyed Labrador.
I'm super grateful to whatever superior force that's keeping the universe and karma flowing for bringing Hector to my doorstep.
1)He's a rare color, according to my dog-bather/trainer.
2)He's eyes are golden!
3)He's super intelligent/obedient(compared to my previous dogs at least)
4)He willingly allowed me to victimize him to get some alone time.
Maybe I should be grateful to the dumbass who special ordered him at the pet store and failed to pick him up, which made him end up in my back yard.
Anyway, I usually walk him up and down my street. Not more than 100 meters up and down.
But I decided that he should suffer for my well being, so I took him for a kilometer walk around the entire Kampung. Freed me around an hour. He's a good listener. So I could let all my problems out without having any unwanted feedback/advice.
I know it's strange that I talk to my dog. I don't do it often, at least not when there are people around. I just find him cool.
Later I picked up my much older cousin.
Who, not suprisingly got top 5 best in Malaysia for STPM.
She just got a scholarship to study Law in the UK.
She deserves it.
After a massive Thai dinner with Jackson & crew, Melvin sent me home.
Jeez, that guy drives like someone put a gun to his head.
Was fun though. *vomitttt*
Watched a few movies with my cousin an siblings.
And drank my first (and probably last) glass of Coke in FIVE MONTHS!
After I drank it, I realised how amazingly disgusting it was.
Really sickening.
I don't expect to ever drink Coke again.
We got until that movie, 'Wanted', when I realised, everyone was asleep.
That movie was ballsy.
It's a 'make it' or 'break it' kinda movie.
Without the perfect actors, directors, and stuff, the actual movie would have done badly.
But because they draw you into the movie well, it was quite a ride.
It even had a few good quotes which are right here:
"I'm finding it hard to care about anything these days. In fact, the only thing I do care about is the fact that I can't care about anything. Seriously, it worries me. My name is Wesley Gibson. My dad walked out on my mom when I was seven days old. Sometimes I wonder if he ever looked into my baby blue eyes and asked himself "did I just father the most insignificant asshole of the twenty-first century?""
"You know there are people, beautiful people, you just wish they could see you in a different setting, a different place. Instead of where you are, what you've become. But most of all, you wish you weren't such a *****, for wishing for things that'll never change."
"You know when you have a dream and you're half-awake, but still in the fringe of your brain, and when you open your eyes you're so damn glad it was a dream?"
[gun falls out of Wesley's pants]
You should watch the movie 'Felon' for better quotes. Val Kilmer is, was and always has been a fantastic actor. Heath Ledger had potential to be the his succesor. Had. Then he died. Awww..
'Felon' is a suprising movie. It looks like something an old man would watch on his Sunday, then go up and sleep it off. But it's acually REALLY good. I learned many things from that movie. How cruel the Law can be. And how societies views on the 'bad guys' is really shrouded by that cruel law. It'll make sense after you watch it.
P/S. I'll probably blog about Saturday soon. I know, my timeline is in a mess
