Why..so..serious..

well, i have finally gotten off my lazy bum (figuratively, im still sitting on it because im at the computer) and decided to write the post that i was going to monday afternoon. oh yes and yesterday sucked because i just waited for stuff to happen instead of trying to make things happen. i keep forgetting summer works differently than th school year.
back to the topic.
Ok After having watched the most recent batman movie, i must say that it was amazing, and you should go see it, whoever of you reads this.

ok reason number 0: the plot. well technically i cant tell you about the amazing plot i dont want to ruin the fun. so sorry.

reason 1: The joker. Im sorry but heath ledger did an amazing job conveying a genius who sees the world differently than the rest of us. Ok you know how johnny depp invented his own, inventory of mannerisms and odd actions for his role in pirates (his floppy wristed gestures, odd way of walking, frequent side glances, etc.), well ledger did just as good, but hes portraying a far more twisted character, so that makes the movie all the more startling because of the realisticy-ness of the joker.

reason 2: Everyone else. Absolutely every actor did an amazing job specifically the old dude who played alfred the butler person. sorry not as familiar with the actor so i cant give a name and im too lazy to look it up. but regardless, he did a great job. that character was quite often funny. very cool.

reason 3: the implications. Similar to wall-e, this movie has some startling implications, but you have to dig deeper to see them. Essentially the underlying theme of the movie is 'what is the nature, of human nature?' its an exploration of human nature in its realities, diversity, and the question; are we all intrinsically good or evil or neither? sorry i notice this stuff and sorry that sounded cliche buuut its true.

so go see it or rent or buy it when it comes out.
il see you guys soon i hope,

peace,
joe

hey, we all decided 2day that u need to post the lyrics for the song u wrote for madison on the blog. just so u know.
also, i meant 2 ask u a random music question...if ur listening to a song, and figure out the note thats are being played, and write out the music...would it matter much whether the original music was bass or guitar? i want my music teacher to write out an intro for me, she has a good ear for that type of stuff, but im not sure if its bass or guitar and im not sure if it matters...just wondering, lemme know if u can
