Hey, this is Justin. I’m sitting in the middle of class now and decided to work on my blog. I’m only supposed to be working on a French speech so it’s no big deal.


Anyways, my speech subject is books vs. movies. I’m not really sure what I’m going to do about it yet though, cause me and Jason sit here and do nothing and then usually just copy and paste things the last day and pass.

My trip to Florida is in 9 days, so I’m pretty excited about that. This time I’m going with my aunt and uncle and their two kids so it should be interesting to show people around who have never been there before. They don’t really know what to expect. They think Walt Disney World is like a big version of sandspit.

Anyways, I just wanted to talk about a movie I watched a few days ago called “A Clockwork Orange”. The movie was made in 1971 and is considered one of the best movies ever by many lists. I’d probably have to agree, cause it’s a damn good movie. Anyways, the movie is about a messed up man who rapes people and beats up people for fun. The whole movie is really weird, but it’s a good movie. He just goes to prison and they try this new type of punishment where they put the man in this place for two weeks and make him watch movies of rape and violence and propaganda and stuff like that. Anyways, he gets out, tries to commit suicide and then the minister gets blamed for trying to kill people by this new method of punishment. If anyone wants to see a damn good movie, this is one to see. I give it a 9/10 and it’s in my top 10 movies of all time. Imdb.com gives it a 8.5/10 and it is their 47th best movie of all time.

 Be warned, I wrote the last paragraph about two weeks ago and now things have changed.

It was almost two weeks ago since i've last wrote in my blog, so I better get to it. Anyways, in the past week I have got a girlfriend. I really love this girl a lot. Most of you know who she is but ya, I've been thinking about her and hanging out with her a lot this past week and haven't got the chance to write in my blog.

So ya, I wrote that two weeks ago. I haven't published a blog post in almost a month though. I'm still here though, so don't worry. Anyways, I'm single now so ya, it's a long story and I'm not sure that I really want to publish it on the internet.

Since the past month I've watched a few movies. 

First movie was Goodfellas. The movie came out in 1990. It is a gangster movie that runs on a lot faster pace then the godfather. Anyways, it's still a great movie but The Godfather was just amazing. I give it a 8/10. Imdb gives it a 8.8/10 and it is their 14th best movie of all time.

Next movie was a silent film called Sherlock Jr. It came out in 1924. It was the first silent film I've ever watched, and I liked it. I noticed that silent films are a lot shorter then regular movies, cause this ones only about 45 minutes long. I give it a 7/10. Imdb gives it a 8.4/10 and currently it isnt on their top 250 list, but it was when I first got the top 150 list.

Next movie was a movie that came out in 1957. It's called Det sjunde inseglet which translates into The Seventh Seal. This is the best movie of the three movies I watched. It is about the black plague which people believed in about 600 years ago. Anyways, this guy plays a game of chess for his life. It's a good movie and one of my favorites of all time. Probably my 6th favorite actually. Anyways, I give it a 9/10 and imdb gives it a 8.4/10 and its their 117th best movie of all time.

Thats all I have to say for now. I'm going to florida again for march break so I'm excited for that.

Part 2

So yesterday, I did part 1 and gave you my favorite songs from 2000-2004. Now it's time to do the second and harder to choose part of the decade.

2005 - This is probably the hardest year. I have 26 songs in this year that are 9/10 or higher. Three are those are also 10/10. There's 6 Wolfmother songs,4 Green Day songs, 3 Fall Out Boy songs, and 2 Gorillaz songs. My number 1 has to be Woman by Wolfmother. Other good songs are Feel Good Inc. by Gorillaz, Dare by Gorillaz, Lips of an Angel by Hinder, Our Lawyer Made Us Change The Name of This Song So We Wouldn't Get Sued by Fall Out Boy, Dani California by Red Hot Chili Peppers, and Heaven by Los Lonely Boys.

2006 - Ya, call me gay, but my favorite song this year is by Justin Timberlake. What Goes Around Comes Around. Other good songs are When You Were Young by The Killers, I Write Sins Not Tragedies by Panic At The Disco, and Trapped in The Drive Thru by Weird Al Yankovic. 

 

2007 - Not much question here. Stronger by Kanye West. Other good songs are The Pretender by Foo Fighters and Paralyzer by Finger Eleven. Also can't forger Thanks for The Memorys and This Ain't a Scene, It's an Arm Race by Fall Out Boy.

2008 - This was a year of pop. I'm going to give it to Hot N' Cold by Katy Perry. Second is Just Dance by Lady Gaga, and Third is Jizz In My Pants by The Lonely Island.

2009 - California Queen by Wolfmother. It's my only song with a 9 or higher, so it's my pick.

Justin Woolley's Top Songs of the Decade (or a song a year from the 00's)- PART 1

Justin Woolley Presents: 

Justin Woolley's Top Songs of the Decade 

(or a song a year from the 00's) 

Part 1

I think that title pretty much explains itself. I like to really put a lot of information on everyone of my songs on mediamonkey, so it didn't take me much work to make this list. I'm just going to go through my playlist by the years, and say my favorite song of each year. At the end I might put a few honourable mentions. I'll also throw in some youtube links so then if you don't know the song, you can hear it. 

2000 - The first year of the decade is already a hard choice, but I pick In The End by Linkin Park. It was close between this and Colt 45 by Afroman, but I think i'll remeber In The End in 20 years before I remeber Colt 45.

2001- Woah, take the toughness of last year and make it harder. I pick Good Ridance (Time of your life) by Green Day. At one point that was my favorite song, and maybe it still is, I'm not sure. Second place was Clint Eastwood by Gorillaz, a song I'm sure not many people have heard.

2002 - No question here. United States of Whatever by Liam Lynch.

2003 - Seven Nation Army by The White Stripes. Enough said.

2004 -  Hmm... tough choice. A punk rock song vs a rock song vs a soundtrack song vs a pop song. The punk rock song wins this one. American Idiot by Green Day is the winner. Other good songs where: All These Things That I've Done by The Killers (the rock song) Accidentally In Love by Counting Crows (soundtrack song) and Catch My Disease by Ben Lee (the pop song)

So, thats part 1. Click those links, tell me how bad of a taste in music I have, then stay tuned for Part 2.

I downloaded this program that shows lyrics scrolling on my screen as a song play. It's a good way for me to figure out the lyrics of the song without having to look it up everytime, because it downloads them automaticly. It's called minilyrics.

We're getting highspeed the 26th, I'm getting a ps3 asap and I'm getting the old computer. It's all looking pretty good right now. I think I'm gonna download this program where I can control both my laptop and the old computer I'm getting with one mouse and keyboard. I'm pretty excited about all this. I've decided to make the old computer run faster, that i'll install ubuntu and just dual-boot it with windows incase I need windows for anything.

Anyways, I've watched two movies recently which I could talk about.

The first movie was A Christmas Story. I think i've seen bits and pieces of this movie loads of times on tv, but I finally watched the whole thing in two music classes. It's a pretty good christmas movie, but defenitly isn't better then It's a Wonderful Life. I give it a 7.5/10

Second movie was Schindler's List. This movie was one on the Top 250 list. It's about this man named Oskar Schindler who saved jews by letting them work in his factory instead of being gased. It's a good feel good movie, but I think it is a bit overrated. I give it a 7.5/10 (imdb.com rated it a 8.9/10 and it was their 6th best movie as of Sept.28.2009.)
