Things They Won’t Tell You About College [Rant]

Author: dudemangamer791  //  Category: Rants

Sitting here in my mess of a dorm room, it strikes me that I’ve been lied to. By people I’ve trusted, listened to my entire life. And it wasn’t a little lie, not like the other ones I’ve heard.

They lied to me about college.

My 20th Birthday / How Have I Changed? [Site News/Rant]

Author: Charlie Bartlett  //  Category: Rants, Site News

Well, it’s a bit late to be mentioning it, but I’ve had a lot of things on my plate this past week. I worked on my birthday (the 20th) and had other things personal things to take care of. Hell, I’m not even having my party with my friends until tomorrow. To be honest, I wasn’t really that excited about turning 20…I’d rather just skip being 20 and be 21, but that’s just me.

So anyways, now that I’m not a teenager anymore it got me thinking of how much I’ve changed since I was a freshmen in high school….and how much I might change after I graduate from college. So here’s a list of things that have changed/not changed…

“Johnny” by Craig David [Song]

Author: Charlie Bartlett  //  Category: Songs

craig david Here’s a song about bullying that is pretty unique. It isn’t screaming rock, but rather a slow R&B song from my boy Craig David! I don’t usually like R&B songs (I find them boring most of the time), but the first time I listened to this song I almost cried.

On a side note, Craig David is the best living male singer, have you heard him live? He KILLS it!

Third Eye Blind - Third Eye Blind (1997) [Album]

Author: Charlie Bartlett  //  Category: Albums

As I’ve stated before, 3eb is an underrated band. I firmly believe that they are THE best post-grunge band of the 90’s and this album proves it. Not only does it have the smash hit “Semi-Charmed Life” (which is about crystal meth lol) but it’s one of those albums that I can just listen to all the way through, and as a result, is one of my FAVORITE albums of all time. Yeah, it sold 6 million copies, but it should have gone diamond (10 mill) “Motorcycle Drive By” is genius and “God Of Wine” is perhaps the most relaxing song I’ve ever heard in my life. Stephan Jenkins (the lead singer and writer) is also one of the greatest lyricists of the 90’s as well. You wouldn’t expect it from such an upbeat band, but 3eb songs almost always have deep meanings.

Ok that’s enough posts 4 today, it’s 3:40 am and I think I’m gonna call it quits for now.

The Perfect Score (2004) [Movie]

Author: Charlie Bartlett  //  Category: Movies

the perfect score DVD cover

This is a light movie that’s pretty fun overall. Basically, these random kids from different backgrounds in the school decide to get together to cheat on the SAT. Now for a little background info:

It’s made by MTV films and is PG-13, so don’t expect something ground breaking. The Asian stoner dude (Leonardo Nam) in the movie is HILARIOUS. Just watch him the whole time and TRY not to laugh. (He also has a small role in the OK film Vantage Point and the comedy Finishing The Game. The strange thing is that the dude was born in Argentina [WTF?!!].) This is also Scarlett Johanson’s only teen movie. The director also made this other shitty ass movie called Varsity Blues. DON’T WATCH IT. unless of course you’re a failed football jock and you’d like to waste your life.

Ok, well grab some popcorn and sit back and relax!

Cheaters (2000) [Movie]

Author: Charlie Bartlett  //  Category: Movies

american history x DVD cover

All I’m going to say about this movie is that it will make you question how you view cheaters (oh, and it’s got Jena Malone from Saved! in it as well as the dude who played Dumber in Dumb and Dumber). It’s a pretty hard movie to find, which is sad because it has such a great message. Mind you, this will NEVER EVER get played in a high school because of how controversial it is. If you want to read my opinions of how I feel about cheating in school, be sure to read my rant about it HERE.

[Rant] Why Cheating In School Is NORMAL (Plus How To Not Get Caught)

Author: Charlie Bartlett  //  Category: Rants

Don’t get me wrong. Cheating used to be wrong. You know, way back when everyone was sincere. At that time the only way people got ahead in life was due to hard and HONEST work. But sadly, that isn’t the case anymore. Hell it probably never was! Take cheating on school tests for example. Every year, tests get HARDER and HARDER. Not because people are getting smarter and smarter, but because more and more people are cheating so the average test score goes up and they have to “balance” that out by making the tests harder. When in reality, all they’re doing is making it worse for those that DON’T cheat.

blink-182 Discography [4 Albums]

Author: Charlie Bartlett  //  Category: Albums

blink-182

One of the greatest/underappreciated bands of all time! I feel like Tom, Mark, and Travis raised me because all of these songs are basically exclusively FOR teens. I probably listened to more blink-182 than ANY other music EVER when I was in high school because of the fact that their songs are simple and catchy, and also talk about subjects that teens can relate to (sex, drugs, what a fucking hassle parents can be, and just about any crazy random shit you can think of). When I first heard blink-182 in middle school I COULDN’T STAND THEM because I thought Tom’s voice was annoying as hell. But after a while of getting used to it (it took about a week mind you) I realized that his voice was PERFECT for teen songs. It’s too bad they broke up in 2005, but all of these songs remain a soundtrack to my high school life.
