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.

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. ;)
