Hello my Flyleaf fans and friends. I know I've been promoting Skillet recentely, but that hardly means you got rid of me. ;)

I'm back to promote Flyleaf to you once again. I know, you're very excited. Probably almost as excited as I am! What is it that we're all supposed to be excited over you ask?

MEMENTO MORI, OF COURSE!
Flyleaf's new album will be released on November 10th,(little fun fact..that's the day after my birthday! Who could ask for a better present?!) but you don't have to wait that long to secure your copy! You can do so much, much earlier than that. More than a month earlier, in fact.
Starting October 6th, you can pre-order Mementor Mori for yourself! No waiting and standing in line on the day the album drops. It'll be delivered directly to your doorstep instead. The best part? You don't even have to change out of your pajamas to walk out and pick it up. ;) So help me and all of your friends out by spreading the word on the pre-order. We have less than a week left until the date is here.

I've been promoting Skillet a lot recetenly..so obviously that's what I'm back to do again today. Now I'm posting a bunch of Skillet links I think we'll all find useful. ;)

First up is the link to Skillet's Official Website -

Hey guys. I'm here to ramble about Skillet again. As I mentioned before, their new album Awake is in stores NOW. They've set sail on a tour supporting said album, and I want you all to jump on deck. Now I've come to post a nifty little device that's a friend to us all. Not only is it convenient, it's just plain awesome...It's a widget! A widget, which you can do the following with: Listen to some tracks, read the bands latest news, biography, creep some pictures and videos, preview and purchase ringtones, and even view and purchase tickets to shows. It's all located conveniently here on this page, so you have no excuse to be lazy. ;) Click it and navigate to whatever your heart so desires.

Kay, maybe not WHATEVER your heart desires..but what your heart desires when it comes to Skillet..you'll more than likely find it here.

And if not.. hey, that's what Googles for, right? ;)

I know I was talking about Skillet earlier, and now here I am talking about them again! This time I'm here to promote the tour they have going for their new album, Awake.

The Awake and Alive Tour is rolling through cities as we speak, and if you're not hopping on for a night or two, you're seriously missing out!

Who hasn't heard about Again yet? Any of you who have tuned in to your favorite rock stations in the past few weeks have probably already learned every word. But for those of you who still haven't gotten around to it.. You all know I was advertising it before it was released, but now that it has I think it's about time to encourage people to listen to it.

Again, the new single from Flyleaf is available NOW people! So turn on the radio or go to your favorite online music retailer. ;) It's about time the whole world started singing it. Will you join in?

You guys know I like to ramble on about my favorite bands and beg you to listen..Well, nothing has changed. :D

I've been really obsessed with Skillet recentely, and their new album Awake. It's available for you to buy now, and I want you to all go out and get it!

Flyleaf recently filmed the video for their first single off the new album(Momento Mori, which will be released in late October). On the set, MTV caught up with the band to talk about it.

Silence has been projecting off a band called Flyleaf for many months now. Since they went into the studio at the beginning of the year, little has been heard of their new album, Momento Mori, which is being released this October. The good news is, you don't have to wait that long to hear a little of what is being unleashed on their softmore album.

Next Tuesday(August 25th), the first single from Momento Mori, Again, will hit radio airwaves and online music retailers everywhere. Flyleaf fans and just those who are curious, be sure to tune in to your local rock station or purchase your digital copy at your favorite online music supplier.

I know I promote my favorite bands around here a lot, and you guys must get tired of it. But that's just really too bad. :P I'm not going to stop.

As a matter of fact, this is yet another post about an amazing band - Flyleaf. (Who I will be seeing in concert at Riverfest(in Little Rock, AR) this Sunday for the second time. I'll be handing out a bunch of SWAG there with my twin sister. If you're coming and you see me, feel free to come say hi. I'd love to force some SWAG on you. :)

Below are two things you all need to check out. A video of Flyleaf in the studio, and a slideshow of Flyleaf in the studio recording their next album, Momento Mori. Theres only a few more months till release, so start getting amped now! I know I am.

I got my copy of Green Day's new album in the mail today. :) I've been listening to it for a while now, and I have to say that I am in LOVE. I didn't listen to it online a week ago when they released it. I expected a May 15th release, so a May 15th release is what I was going to have, damn it. No listening to the whole thing early. I just wasn't prepared for that. Haha. No surpirses for me, thank you very much.

Right now my favorite song on this album is East Jesus Nowhere. But, I have to say that the B SIDE track Lights Out might beat the entire rest of the album. What do you guys think? Whose bought it? Who hasn't? Who will? And if you have already taken a listen, whats your favorite song?

Hello, homiez. Just wanted to give you guys a quick update. You know that I've been actively blogging and spreading the word on Green Day's new album(out on May 15th), titled 21st Century Breakdown. So it should come as no surprise that I'm here to do that yet again! :D
Release date is TOMORROW(Friday, May 15th), so be in line tomorrow morning to purchase it! OR you also still have a little bit of time left to preorder now and have them send it to you! (although it probably won't arrive on release date, as that is less than 24 hours away.)
Green Day is also embarking on a tour starting in June, and most tickets for U.S. dates have already been put on sale. The rest will go on sale this Saturday, May 16th. If you haven't secured a ticket yet, now would be the time! Or at least the time to start preparing for it. ;) Click here to view their upcoming tour dates and purchase tickets.

(You can also access both of those links - to tickets and preorder - from the widget posted below. And if you feel like it, why not check out the new single, Know Your Enemy?

I uploaded my pictures, like I promised. :D The best I could do was stealing my mothers camera and goofing off with Hayley in our currently being remodeled bathroom this morning. I didn't have much time for anything else.

And now I'm sitting in wait for Know Your Enemy video to finally be released on iTunes. I've been waiting all day. Where on earth is it, Green Day? I want my download now, plz.

While we're talking about that again. Yesyes, it's coming once again, my friends. I'll hound you to death about it.
You should all sign up for Green Day's Official Street Team(for free!) and put dead_beat in the referred by box.

Guess who changed their hair color? Me. :) Out with the old red streaks and in with the WHITE. I promise pictures this weekend. All I can say is that I'm in love with it, and I hope to keep it around a while.
The red had a good long run, but I got bored with it. And bleaching is so much less upkeep than that was, believe it or not. We're in a recession here people. :D

So, who is buying Know Your Enemy the video tonight at midnight? I'll be getting it from iTunes in less than thirty minutes. Something that I am really excited for.

Preview the song on the widget I attatch below and look up the video. :)
And if you're joining Green Day's Official Street Team, be sure to put dead_beat in the referred by box. I'm on a mission to recruit as many members as possible. It's free, and you'll be able to win really cool prizes for joining.

Guess who is officially a licensed driver now?
ME!
Thats right, I've officially passed my road test. I'm now approved to drive across the entire US without a legal adult in the car with me. Driving alone? Finally! God, I'm super excited.

The lady that gave me the test was so awesome. 'The faster you go, the more I like it.' What a riot, man. Apperently some police officers actually do rock. :D She told me I passed before I had even gotten back to the Troop Headquarters. 'Don't worry about the lines, just park it straight or they'll think I got a bunch of drunks up here.' I loved her.

Anyway. So my sister passed too. 2 more 16 year old drivers on the road. Watch out cause we could be coming to a city near you soon. :)

Speaking of driving. I love streets. And street teams.
So why don't you do me a favor and join one?! Green Day's Official Street Team Put dead_beat in the referred by box upon sign up.

'Violence is an energy
Against the enemy
Violence is an energy

Bringing on the fury
The choir infantry
Revolt against the honor to obey

Overthrow the effigy
The vast majority
Burning down the foreman of control

Silence is the enemy
Against your urgency
So rally up the demons of your soul'

Who else bought Know Your Enemy from itunes this morning? It was the first thing I did when I got on the computer. All I can say is..W-O-W.
Whoever said 'Green Day isn't angry anymore' should take this as a slap in the face right now. Just go listen to it.
I'm just anxiously awaiting the 24th, when the video can accompany this song on my iPod. And of course, May 15th, for those of you who have been living under a rock, is the release of 21st Century Breakdown. Go preorder the album HERE.

All lyrics by Green Day. I own nothing, they do. If you want to see full lyrics to the song, you can find them here, at their official website.

Remember. Just put dead_beat in the referred by box. ;)

Alright, be honest. Who here is a wrestling fan?
My hand is raised in the air right now, and I'm far from ashamed to admit that 'I AM. I AM.'

If you read my last journal entry, you'll know that I went to see WWE Smackdown when it came to my town a few weeks ago. Who could really say no to such an opportunity?
Which reminds me - we got a lot of great pictures, and I promise to have them posted by the end of this week.

Now, let's just establish who my favorite wrestlers are...Rey Mysterio for starters. What an incredible athlete(and his tattoos are sick). I love this man and what he does. His entrance theme is even on top played on my iPod. (Booyaka, booyaka. 619!)
Jeff Hardy. Can we just say incredible athlete again? The Swanton Bomb takes my breath away everytime I watch him perform it.
HBK. I've loved him since I was a little girl watching him in DX. (Triple H is also a fave, of course.) Sweet chin music is an awesome finishing move, and I'm glad he's still using it today. How he gets his foot that high in the air will continue to puzzle me. ('And if you don't like that, we have two words for you. SUCK IT!')
The Undertaker. The Phenom. The Dead Man...you get the picture. Hells Gates wouldn't be such an awful place to dwell if this man was there. His entrance into the ring alone is enough scare the hell out of most people I know. 17-0. What a streak.
And CM Punk, whose tattoos make me jealous. I love what he stands for(and I'd love your shirt, CM Punk. Do you think you could possibly make that happen please?)
Who can forget John Cena? One word : hilarious.

Anyway. Now that we've established our wrestling obsession...Who payperviewed Wrestlemania 25 last night?
At this point, my hand is yet again in the air. 'I DID. I DID.'
Four hours of commercial-free, biggest event of the year, insane stunts seen on no other wrestling night, absolute wrestling heaven. Ahh, my heart flutters at the thought.

Well, for those of you who missed it(and those who just love to relive the moments over and over again in your mind), let me supply a commentary on how the thing went down.

Wrestlemania 25 started with the Money in the Bank Ladder Match. Eight superstars from Raw, SmackDown!, and ECW battling it out to be Mr.Money in the Bank. As you should know, the eight lucky participants this year were Mark Henry, Shelton Beljamin, Kane, MVP, Kofi Kingston, Finlay, Christian, and CM Punk. Punk won the ladder match in Wrestlemania 24. At Wrestlemania 25, it was his third time to compete in the match. After insane acrobatics and impressive athleticism from most of the competetors this year, CM Punk went down in history as the first man to not only win the Money in the Bank Ladder Match twice, but the first man to win it twice in a row. You go CM Punk! I think we all look forward to when he cashes it in to fight for a championship.

Next came 25 Diva match. Won't even speak of it because it was lame. After that Chris Jericho got his ass beat by a bunch of retired wrestlers. I don't care if he 'won', he still got the hell beat out of him, and thats good enough for me.

And then came the moment I was waiting for : Jeff Hardy vs. Matt Hardy, in Extreme Rules. Let me tell you..Extreme is exactly what this match was. The Charismatic Enigma pulled out an arsenal of crazy stunts that could have injured him beyond repair. But Jeff Hardy doesn't stay down. Matt may have won, but only because Jeff took himself out of the match on accident. Oh Jeff, that ladder stunt could have been incredible; if only it were flawless.

Then Rey Mysterio took on JBL. Lets just take a moment to talk about Rey's entrance...what an entrance it was. First of all, I love the way he jumps up and enters the ramp on every Wrestlemania. I could spend the 55 dollars every year just for that moment. And his outfit? Rey Mysterio as the Joker? What a beautiful site; he pulled it off effortlessly. I will forever be in love with that mask. May I borrow it Mr.Mysterio?
Now, when they entered the ring and the bell finally rang(after a few cheap shots from Bradshaw), the third move Rey did was the 619, followed by a jump off the top rope and a pin...It took 21 seconds for Rey Mysterio to win the WWE Intercontinental Championship. I'm positive it went down in history as 'shortest match of Wrestlemania'. Oh yeah, and then JBL quit. I can only pray to God that he was being serious and will never return to WWE. I'm so tired of looking at his cellulite.

Undertaker vs. Shawn Michaels..I can't even describe this match at all. So I'm really not going to attempt. All I can say is, after two Tombstones, a Hells Gates, a Last Ride, and two Chokeslams(I believe it was two) from the Phenom(Undertaker), and two Sweet Chin musics from Shawn Michaels, as well as amazing acrobatics from both of the athletes, the Undertaker defeated HBK to hold a 17-0 winning streak at Wrestlemania. I don't think this is something we'll ever see again in wrestling.

Cena beat Edge and The Bigshow to win the World Heavyweight Championship. Finally the Champ is back! I just hope he can keep it. It's dark days in WWE when someone like Edge holds the title.

And the last match. Triple H beat Randy Orton into submission. After the use of an illegal weapon, hidden by The Game and unseen by the Referee, Triple H pinned Orton and beat him, reataining his title as WWE Champion and hopefully shutting Orton up forever. I can't help but think that Orton will have something to say about it tonight on RAW, though. We'll see.
(ADDITION:)
Sure enough, Orton demanded a rematch. He'll be getting that rematch at Backlash. Randy Orton, Ted, and Cody vs. Shane, Triple H, and Batista. That's right. You heard it. THE ANIMAL. He's back and in action. He made his return tonight to help kick the crap out of Legacy. So glad to see you back in action Batista. I eagerly look forward to seeing you in Backlash. I just hope I can order it too. ;)
