New Moon: The Journey of Manhood

So today, my mother came up to me and said, "Hey, wanna go see New Moon today? Don't think of that as an offer as much as a command." So I looked up the movie times, and saw that The Blind Side was also playing. So I went, thinking that I could get away with a last minute change. So when we were about 10 minutes away from the theatre, I mentioned that The Blind Side was playing. My mother, being the generous person she was, told me that I could go and see The Blind Side if I wished. Then, she pulled her deceitul tricks. At the movie theatre, she asked me which movie I wanted to see. I told her "The Blind Side". She then told the worker, "Hi. I'd like 4 tickets for New Moon". She then told me, "You can go to whichever one you want, but the candy and popcorn go to New Moon." So, being deceived by my mother and popcorn, I walked into the Teenage Girl Abyss. Here's how the movie went (from what I saw).

First, I sat through trailers for various chick flicks that only girls and their reluctant boyfriends would ever see. Then, I went to the bathroom. When I came back, a girl was giving Cat Stevens a hug on screen. Then a bunch of awful writing/acting occured before my eyes, before there was a fight scene between two members of a gay pride parade. The fighting was very Gay-Matrixy. The Gaytrix. I then went to the bathroom again. When I came back, the pale guy broke up with the chick with awful acting. She then walked around like she was a zombie (Without the gore :( ). She then started hanging out with Cat Stevens. I walked to the bathroom again. When I came back, Cat Stevens turned into an angsty David Archuleta. Then, he turned into an awfully animated wolf, and attacked Bob Marley, and some random chick with Rodman-Esqur hair started running around. Then suddenly, the chick realized that she sucked at acting so she jumped off a cliff, and the Rodman chick disappeared in the water. (I have a theory at this is a Cat Stevens trip.) Then, David Archuleta saved bad acting chick. Then, they all went to Rome to save vampire-Harvey Milk. Harvey took off his shirt, and his extremely displaced nipples showed. (Left nipple=a lot higher and bigger than the right nipple). Then, I went to the bathroom again. When I got back, they were all in with a bunch of gay French guys. After more Gaytrix fighting, they all walked out in the anticlimatic ending. Then, there was another 10 minutes of her debating whether she should be a vampire or not. Then, Harvey and David had a fight, to which the angsty David left angstily. Harvey then shocked the world and proved he was straight by asking the GIRL to marry him. At that point I couldn't help but scream, "Cedric Diggory!!".

And now for my review. Many of you are confused as to why I admire Edward and hate the movie. While Mr. Cullen is a good key for telling what the modern woman finds attractive, I do belive that he would do better in a different setting, IE not in a world that sets the bar so high for a guy such as me. I do not think that he should be in a film that the average man hates so much. So while I support Edwards attractivenessity, I do not support his actions. Also, Jacob is 10 years old and has a photoshopped body. So I will continue to admire and envy Edward Cullen, but I will not support his teenage lifestyle.

So overall? Cat Stevens on Roids+Gay Vampires-Everyone thinking you're straight= 11 out of 10 stars. Highly reccomend it.

Thanks!

Seeing as Thanksgiving is coming up, I have spent the majority of my time pondering what I'm thankful for, which overthrew other activities of what I would normally do, which includes eating, sleeping, and utilizing the rest room. And, after weeks of doing absolutely nothing, this is what I have generated for what I am thankful for.

-Edward Cullen, for taking away some of my extremely heavy burden. Too long have I lifted the weight of the good looking world, having to have every single lady. Now I have a partner in good looking-ness. Thank you, Edward Cullen.

-Black socks. Too long has the world suffered with scratchy socks that make children cry. Now I feel like I'm having a massage on my feet, 24/7. I've been wearing these socks for 5 days now, and they still make me feel like my feet are numb. I seriously can't feel a thing. Thank you, black socks.

-The Swine Flu. The funniest sickness since HIV, the swine flu has made us all realize who we are. And we are weak and fragile human beings who fall down at the sight of a pig. Pathetic. But thank you, swine flu, for humbling our wimpy souls.

-Michael Jackson. For being the creepy child molester that we all loved, and then within a single day, turning into one of the most respected pop icons ever. Thanks for giving us something to laugh at, then taking it away so that anytime a joke of him is brought up, the world freaks out at you. Thank you, Michael Jackson.

-Facial hair, for fighting gayness everywhere.

-ZZ Top. Need I say more?

So overall, I'm thankful for a teenage vampire-model, church socks, a deadly illness, a child molester, a natural process of life, and a mediocre band. Thank you.

PS-Thank you, Chuck Norris.

Proof of My Patriotism

Last Wednesday, I went to a meeting at school regarding an essay contest that involved America. The topic: Does America Still Have Heroes? Now, I could have written about the biggest American hero of all: Michael "Xavier" Youd. But no, I went into the soldiers, and the truck drivers, and the person who sees the rainbow from the rain (Yes, lyrics from "Desperado" were used). And it appeared to pay off. I now have a 2nd place honor and I'll get $20 (Most American dollar bill), and my essay goes on. Do I regret not talking about me? Absolutely. Will I have to live with it? I suppose so. But, what can I say, I'm American!

Michael "Xavier" Youd

PS-That's right. What can be more patriotic than a bear devouring a fish?

Home Alone, Xavier Style

Some of you may know this, but my Thursday was spent in general isolation from the world. While this may sound depressing, it is actually an American Party. And shockingly enough, an American party does not consist of me crying in my room while listening to James Blunt. Here is how my after-school Home Alone Party went. (Mr. Culkin was unable to attend)

I got home around 3:45. I then let out Nala and did my outside stuff for about 15 minutes. I then warmed up some Potato Skins, watching The Office. After eating, (about 5), I had the desire to go all Risky Business (you know, dancing in your underwear to "Old Time Rock and Roll"). After realizing that Tom Cruise was involved in that, I immediately tried to do something epic enough that I would be forgiven. So I ate a bunch of Salt and Vinegar Chips (AKA, forgiveness). I then went to a somewhat blan Youth Committee meeting. After I got back, I watched my various TV shows (all of which were excellent). At about 10:45, I decided that I should do homework. So I worked for about 45 minutes on homework. At 11:30, I became tired, and had the desire to sleep. But I had to do one more epic thing to end my day alone the right way. So I turned on some Stevie Wonder songs, and ate a bowl of Reese's Pieces. At 11:30. At 11:45, I declared my day a victorious one, and went to sleep. Epic.

Michael "Xavier" Youd

PS-I may or may not have, but definitely have, had the desire to do that Risky Business thing before. Unfortunately, our kitchen isn't set up properly. Curse you, glass door.

Clearing Things Up

For any of you followers that haven't heard, there have been some scandalous incidents recently involving this blog, including things pertaining to The Jonas Brothers, romantic comedies, and a word that starts with "p" and ends with "rivates", among other things. So, I would like to clear some things up.

A. I am not gay. I am 99% sure of this.
B. I have never seen The Proposal. The others are my own personal business.
C. Although I do stick to my ideals of me being the best looking Jonas Brother, I do not listen to them (Refer to A.)
D. I am epic.
E. I am not gay. 98% sure. (Refer to B)
F. I do listen to the Beach Boys.
G. I am not gay. 97% sure. (Refer to F)
H. I would NEVER use the "p******s" word online. How dare you think that?

If you have any other questions, please feel free to ask.

Michael "Xavier" Youd









P. S.- rivates. Secret Message.

For Jon...

How dare you?

On a scale from 1 to 10, 10 being Epic...

How cool is this??

Question
