Killer Kitten

Courtesy of: Yahoo.com

-Remember the uproar over Gwyneth Paltrow naming her daughter Apple? That seems downright quaint in 2008. Check out the new additions in the category of quirkiest baby names:

___

BRONX MOWGLI: This year's most unusual moniker, courtesy of Pete Wentz and Ashlee Simpson-Wentz. He grew up near Chicago and she hails from Texas -- yet, inexplicably, the rock-star couple named their son after one of the toughest boroughs in New York City. Giving some insight, Wentz revealed the middle name Mowgli was inspired by the scrappy boy hero of Disney's "The Jungle Book."

___

SUNDAY ROSE: Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban welcomed their baby girl on a Monday, then named her for the day before. Kidman has said Sunday is the couple's favorite day of the week because it can be both lonely and happy depending on whether "you've got your family" around. They also found inspiration in Aussie art collector Sunday Reed, whose first name Kidman's father suggested as a possibility. The baby's second name is a tribute to Urban's grandmother, Rose.

___

ZUMA NESTA ROCK: When he's old enough, Gwen Stefani's baby boy might want to change his first name to something that sounds less like a certain clear malt beverage and lose the other two names altogether. Then again, a child raised by music royalty -- Stefani and hubby Gavin Rossdale -- might fully embrace a moniker that spells nothing but embarrassment for regular kids. Stefani grew up in Southern California and loves Jamaican culture, which might explain her choice of Zuma (a beach in Malibu) and Nesta (the middle name of reggae legend Bob Marley).

___

HONOR MARIE: An honorable mention -- sorry, we couldn't resist -- goes to the daughter of Jessica Alba and her husband, Cash Warren. Honor should get a lifetime of instant respect, based on her first name alone. Latin in origin, Honor means "woman of honor" and denotes glory, dignity and high rank.

___

BUSTER TIMOTHY: The name Buster has been around a long time -- all the way back to the silent film era when comic actor Buster Keaton used sight gags to get laughs. The moniker struck a chord with married actors Jonny Lee Miller and Michele Hicks, who chose to name their son Buster Timothy. The couple balanced the quirkiness with a way more traditional second name.

 

Now let's just hope that Gerard Way and Lyn-Z will NOT give their baby a weird name!

And, thankfully, the handsome Mark Walhberg doesn't have weird names for his kids. =)

And let me hear your thoughts on this! Are there any other celebrity baby's that have weird baby names that make you wanna blurt out "WTFOMG!!??" *cough*Zahara*cough*? XD

[and i'll parden Surie Cruise...for some reason..i'm fine with it? but if you wanna list it, go ahead!]

Okay so my idea for a new TAI TV episode is this:

Since it's so close to Halloween, I thought maybe The Academy Is..., We The Kings, Hey Monday, and the rest, can go find a Halloween store and just try on various costumes. You wouldn't have to buy anything unless you wanted to.

Like, have them walk through the front door and maybe Travis from WTK can say something to William, or anyone of your choosing, like, "Dude, I have no idea what to do for Halloween! Like, who should I be? What should I be? What do I do, man?!" Like a mini freakout! And have someone slap him out of it and say, "It's okay, Trav.... (unison) WE'LL HELP YOU! *gives thumbs up to the camera with big happy faces* And a title will appear saying something like 'Halloween Makeover' or 'Scary Eye For The Fun Guy' (like Queer Eye For The Straight Guy) or something.

Anyway, the guys and girls will try on different outfits (i know Halloween stores have to have a fitting room), doing something funny with each one. Maybe you can bring back the giant taco costume and have Sisky wear it when he comes out the dressing room. And when he does, everyone will look at each other, nod, and give him a thumbs up. And then he'll turn to the camera and shout out a big "NO!!" since he's worn it before. Or even get him a Grim Reaper outfit and say a line from Bill and Ted's Bogus Journey like my favorite line, "Get down with your bad self!!" Or even Pauly Shore as Stoney saying, "Can you say buff? Bu-uff." since we both love Encino Man lol!

Umm...well that's how it would go for a bit. And then maybe when the episodes nearing it's end, everyone will walk out and say, "Aw man my costume's gonna kick your costumes derrier!" And then have them all argue about how awsome each of their costumes are and then flash to a sign that says 'To see their costumes....Tune In Next Week For A Special Halloween TAI TV!' if you're gonna make a Halloween episode like you did last year?

Well that's my idea so I hope you like it!

This will be my first single called 'Don't Lie To Me'. Again, comments/feedback/thoughts appreciated! No meanies!!

 

DON'T LIE TO ME

 

You think you can push me around, shove me around

Mold me into your vision

So long as I'm still alive, I won't pass you by

Until your funeral

 

Too much time I have wasted

So much time I have lost

And now you have the balls to

Tell me you still love me

 

Don't lie to me! Don't lie to me!

I'm not your property!

Don't fuss to me! And don't cuss to me!

 

I know that you're a control freak, trying to chain me

Hook me up to the wall

This time I've got the upperhand, and you'll be condemned

So what's the use of complaining

 

Too much time I've wasted

So much time I have lost

And now you have the balls to

Tell me you still love me

 

Don't lie to me! Don't lie to me!

I'm not your property!

Don't fuss to me! And don't cuss to me!

Don't lie to me! Don't lie to me!

I'm not your property!

Don't fuss to me! And don't cuss to me!

 

Too much time I have wasted

So much time I have lost

And now you have the balls to

Tell me you still love me

Too much time I have wasted

So much time I have lost

And now you have the balls to

Tell me you still love me...

 

Don't lie to me! Don't lie to me!

I'm not your property!

Don't fuss to me! And don't cuss to me!

Don't lie to me! Don't lie to me!

I'm not your property!

Don't fuss to me! And don't cuss to me!

 

Don't lie to me!

Don't lie to me!

Don't lie to me!

Don't lie to me!

Don't lie to me!

Don't lie to me!

Don't lie to me!

Don't lie to me!

20° OF INK BLOTS

 

Watch the sea fall down into the ground

Grip onto every little thing

Your michievous kiss with your lying eyes

Have drawn blood from my heart

The floating feathers, the sinking ships

The drainage of the mind and soul

Three days to make it, two days to break it

One change to make this whole

 

Fly into my web of lies

As I catch you with my lust

Wipe the venom from my eyes

As it's starting to seep through

 

Lock onto your target tonight

Because it might get away

This is your chance, you might as well take it

It only comes once in a lifetime

The bright lights, the loud speakers

The chance to make a difference

One chance to make it, one chance to break it

It's all up to you

 

Fly into my web of lies

As I catch you with my lust

Wipe the venom from my eyes

As it's starting to seep through

Fly into my web of lies

As I catch you with my lust

Wipe the venom from my eyes

As it's starting to seep through

 

Falling from the skies

Are raindrops of lies

They feel just like tears

Except I don't sense

A sadness burning within

 

Fly into my web of lies

As I catch you with my lust

Wipe the venom from my eyes

As it's starting to seep through

Fly into my web of lies

As I catch you with my lust

Wipe the venom from my eyes

As it's starting to seep through

WICKED CHARMS

 

Barbed wire kisses always cutting at my love

A shock to the system with faith from above

 

You had me at the first touch

It felt so sweet to me

Everything seemed so perfect

But little did I see those--

 

Barbed wire kisses always cutting at my love

A shock to the system with faith from above

Barbed wire kisses always cutting at my love

A shock to the system with faith from above

 

I knew that I needed you

But I also didn't want you

You have helped me through

But now I want nothing to do with you

 

Barbed wire kisses always cutting at my love

A shock to the system with faith from above

Barbed wire kisses always cutting at my love

A shock to the system with faith from above

 

You had me at the first touch

I can't take the pressure anymore

I can't take the pressure anymore

It's too much for me

So fuck it I'm out of here!

 

It's too much to say what I've been through

I cannot help but hide away

The tears fall and show my fears to you all

 

I don't want to be alone here

I don't want to be pushed ahead

I just want to be where I am

With no worries of a mental breakdown

 

I can't take the pressure anymore

I can't take the pressure anymore

It's too much for me

So fuck it I'm out of here

TWIN DEVILS

 

Do you see what I see?

Do you hear what I hear?

When you get so scared

You know that I'm here

To shield you from the horrors

To shield you from the terrors

 

Somebody tell me

Somebody help me decide

Who I should be with tonight

Somebody show me

Somebody point out the way

Even though they both go the wrong way

 

Do you see what I see?

Do you hear what I hear?

When you get so shallow

You know that your fears

Are of your misfortunes

That you use to decieve me

 

Somebody tell me

Somebody help my decide

Who I should be with tonight

Somebody show me

Somebody point out the way

Even though they both go the wrong way

You know the drill! Comments, feedback, thoughts greatly appreciated.

 

FACE THE DAY

 

I have always stood my ground

And never pushed away

The midnight howl re-engages

The childhood fears today

 

Too many times have I been betrayed

By my own emotions that left me astray

I can feel you growing colder

As I keep on growing stronger

 

I will overcome my fears

And we won't fall back down into our graves

I won't give in, we won't give up

We will rise up and face the day

 

The way your eyes were piercing me

Were as if you were looking into my soul

I tried to look deep into your eyes

But all I saw were empty promises

 

I will overcome my fears

And we won't fall back down into our graves

I won't give in, we won't give up

We will rise up and face the day

I will overcome my fears

And we won't fall back down into our graves

I won't give in, we won't give up

We will rise up and face the day

 

Too many times have I been betrayed

By my own emotions that left me astray

I can feel you growing colder

As I keep on growing stronger

 

I will overcome my fears

And we won't fall back down into our graves

I won't give in, we won't give up

We will rise up and face the day

I will overcome my fears

And we won't fall back down into our graves

I won't give in, we won't give up

We will rise up and face the day

I couldn't choose between 'The Rise and Fall of Emilia' or just simply 'Emilia'. If you can help me choose that'd be great! I wrote this song for my best friend Emilia. She goes through so much shit that I had to write about it and let people know that she's a wonderful, beautiful, and amazing person. So, this is for you, Emilia! Comments/feedback and thoughts are appreciated! No meanies, please!

 

THE RISE AND FALL OF EMILIA/EMILIA

 

Is this it? Are we done?

What did I do to deserve this?

I gave it my everything

I tried my best to keep going

What went wrong? What's happened?

Why am I always a target?

So much sorrow

So much tragedy

 

How long must I wait for you?

To realize what you've done to me?

 

It's all crashed down

And I'm still standing alone

Alive and certain

That I can make it on my own

No barriers, or obstacles

Can hold me back from my goals

 

This silence of voices

Is making me dead inside

I need a safe guard

And a saviour

Why must I be ignored?

What damage did I inflict?

If I hurt you

I didn't mean to

 

How long must I wait for you?

To realize what you've done to me?

 

It's all crashed down

And I'm still standing alone

Alive and certain

That I can make it on my own

No barriers, or obstacles

Can hold me back from my goals

 

Why must I be the one to hurt?

Are all signs pointing to me?

I can't believe my endless dream

Was my reality

 

It's all crashed down

And I'm still standing alone

Alive and certain

That I can make it on my own

No barriers, or obstacles

Can hold me back from my goals

It's all crashed down

And I'm still standing alone

Alive and certain

That I can make it on my own

No barriers, or obstacles

Can hold me back from my goals

 

No barriers, or obstacles...

Can hold me back from my goals...

SANCTUARY

Lost in a world that could never define me

I am my own person, the keeper of my sanctuary

 

Surroundings of a broken world

Compensates for a broken heart

Danger lurking around every bend

I wish that I could just pretend--that I

 

Had a vision--that I

Made a better world--that I

Could change the weather

I wish I could change your vision

 

Lost in a world that could never define me

I am my own person, the keeper of my sanctuary

Lost in a world that could never define me

I am my own person, the keeper of my sanctuary

 

Souls lost on the highway

Looking for the light shining bright

At the end of the tunnel we will all see

Nothing ever comes to you for free--such as

 

A loving family--such as

A brighter future--such as

A wonderful lifestyle

Everything comes with a price

 

Lost in a world that could never define me

I am my own person, the keeper of my sanctuary

Lost in a world that could never define me

I am my own person, the keeper of my sanctuary

 

That I--

Had a vision--that I

Made a better world--that I

Could change the weather

I wish I could change your vision--such as

A loving family--such as

A brighter future--such as

A wonderful lifestyle

Everything comes with a price

 

Lost in a world that could never define me

I am my own person, the keeper of my sanctuary

Lost in a world that could never define me

I am my own person, the keeper of my sanctuary

Lost in a world that could never define me

I am my own person, the keeper of my sanctuary

Lost in a world that could never define me

I am my own person, the keeper of my sanctuary

Okay! So here's the lyrics to the first track on my debut album. I haven't yet picked a title for the album so it'll be a while. Anyway, feedback and thoughts appreciated. Nothing mean!

 

PROLOGUE

In this town I lay

Down my anger in pain

All my tears run dry

In the blink of an eye

Raise the swords up high

In apocalyptic pride

Charge the cities down below

Now you're here--TIME TO START THE SHOW!

 

It begins today

The end of an era

Where the weak are destroyed

And the mighty are deployed

In this moment we stand

Gothics and metalheads rise

To the top of the world

Where we once ruled all

 

In this town I lay

Down my anger in pain

All my tears run dry

In the blink of an eye

Raise the swords up high

In apocalyptic pride

Charge the cities down below

'Cause it's time to start the show

 

All my lust for blood

Is growing stronger

My veins crave the screams

Rip them apart at the seams

These struggles we have

Will only get stronger

But we need to be strong

If we want to survive

 

In this town I lay

Down my anger in pain

All me tears run dry

In the blink of an eye

Raise the swords up high

In apocalyptic pride

Charge the cities down below

'Cause it's time to start the show

 

In this town I lay...

It begins today...

The end of an era...

In the blink of an eye...

In this town I lay...

It begins today...

The end of an era...

In the blink of an eye!

 

In this town I lay

Down my anger in pain

All my tears run dry

In the blink of an eye

Raise the sword up high

In apocalyptic pride

Charge the cities down below

And now you know where to go!

Comments/feedback and what the song means to you are appreciated as always. Nothing mean is all I ask. =)

 

SAVE ME

 

It's time for you to repent

Everything you've ever done

The Gods are disagreeing

Maybe this is not the right path

 

The day has risen forth

I will no longer be your slave

The nights are forgiving me

For wandering around in light

 

Take me away to a world

Where I can be alone

A place where birds and animals

Will never fight or harm again

 

Sometimes my heart has these visions

Sights that I cannot believe myself

These pictures are my memories

From the day I was born

 

Take me away to a world

Where I can be alone

A place where birds and animals

Will never fight or harm again

 

The day has risen forth

I will no longer be your slave

The nights are forgiving me

For wandering around in light

 

Take me away to a world

Where I can be alone

A place where birds and animals

Will never fight or harm again

Take me away to a world

Where I can be alone

A place where birds and animals

Will never fight or harm again

Again, feedback and what the song means to you are greatly appreciated. Just no mean-spirited comments, please? I beg of you!

 

THE FRIENDSHIP SINKS

 

Friends are friends

No matter what they say or do

You cannot change their minds

And that's what friends are for

 

You may be mean and you may be gentle

But I know I never want to lose you

 

But what comes around, goes around

All the shit you've done to me

Will soon blow up in your face

But I know from experience

People need a second chance

So don't let the friendship sink

 

Friends are friends

No matter what they say or do

We may just blow apart

But we stick just like glue

 

I may be mean and I may be gentle

But I know you never want to lose me

 

But what comes around, goes around

All the shit you've done to me

Will soon blow up in your face

But I know from experience

People need a second chance

So don't let the friendship sink

 

You may be mean and you may be gentle

But I know I never want to lose you

I may be mean and I may be gentle

But I know you never want to lose me

We may be mean and we may be gentle

But we know we never want to lose each other

 

But what comes around, goes around

All the shit you've done to me

Will soon blow up in your face

But I know from experience

People need a second chance

So don't let the friendship sink

But what comes around, goes around

All the shit you've done to me

Will soon blow up in your face

But I know from experience

People need a second chance

So don't let the friendship sink!

I find that writing music is a form of poetry. You're expressing your feelings the same as a regular poem...but through music. So, I will be posting my lyrics to any random song I've written so far in my life. I've been writing ever since I was a child so some of these are old and some are new. I can't really tell which is which, but I know I wrote them. They may sound crappy or they may make you think...you decide. If it's a song from my upcoming debut album, I'll let you know. Feedback and what the song means to you are greatly appreciated...just no mean-spirited comments, please. That's all I ask. For now...my muse:

 

FIGHTS ARE NOTHING

 

Black eyes and empty fights

Mean nothing to these eyes

Tonight I find another way

Around all my misery

Because misery loves company

And company hates you

 

Winter falls on me

Summer dies alone

Never worry about my past

And never walk away

 

Darkest fears haunt my dreams

On and on again

Ghosts and goblins screaming at my mind

Over and over again

 

Falling towards the light

Wondering where to go

Always finding a way to follow

And continuing forward

 

Winter falls on me

Summer dies alone

Never worry about my past

And never walk away

 

Darkest fears haunt my dreams

On and on again

Ghosts and goblins screaming at my mind

Over and over again

Darkest fears haunt my dreams

On and on again

Ghosts and goblins screaming at my mind

Over and over again

 

Black eyes and empty fights

Mean nothing to these eyes

Tonight I find another way

Around all my misery

Because misery loves company

And company hates you

 

Winter falls on me

Summer dies alone

Never worry about my past

And never walk away

 

Darkest fears haunt my dreams

On and on again

Ghosts and goblins screaming at my mind

Over and over again

Darkest fears haunt my dreams

On and on again

Ghosts and goblins screaming at my mind

Over and over again...

My hometown's radio station 93.3 WMMR just played the audio from this video about how a group of extreme Hippies had cried over a tree being cut down.

The thing is....it wasn't even a huge 500 year old tree!!

It was a tiny little tree and....well..why don't you check it out for yourselves and leave comments on what you think about this!

I didn't believe it until I saw it...

 

We're into a "Green Age" right now.

We're recycling and getting rid of alot of things, which is a great idea!

And yet....we're not getting rid of one of the most major pollutants and killers of all....

....cars.

 

Why do we drive? Why do we use them so wrecklessly?

Sure, we have energy efficient cars, but they can only go so far.

You go to Europe, England for example. They use buses, taxis, trollys, and trains all the time.

And yet when they come to America, it's basically frowned upon to use a train or taxi cab.

In Japan, everyone walks. You look at pictures from the streets of Japan and there's mobs of people walking.

That's why they're so efficient and healthy. It's not what or how they eat, it's how they excercise and get around.

It's sad to me....to know that America's "lazy" in a way.

 

We use cars as a way to not even function our legs properly. If anything, we only use our toes to apply gas and the break.

We have legs so that we can walk, ride a bike, skateboard, etc.

Why not go back to that? Or even ride some horses or even horse-drawn carriages?

At least horses can't splatter you into a wall like a car can.

 

People come up to me and are basically upset that I don't drive. Why?

Because I like to walk? Because I like to take public transportation so in case I get drunk I won't kill somebody?

Why is that so bad? Why is it such a shame that I choose not to drive?

If you live within a city with buildings everywhere you turn....why have a car?

You can go shopping just by walking up one block.

New Yorkers kind of have the idea. They use taxis, people walk around alot, etc.

 

My point is that we should be more like our surrounding countries. Our neighbors, if you will.

They have bullet trains and subways in almost every city and town.

They're smart in their countries. They already Think Green.

They've been thinking that way for years.

I guess we're just....late bloomers?

 

I'm lucky to have such wonderful friends.

They don't drive either and they're fine with it.

They love to walk and so do I.

If you think and talk about something to someone while you're walking, You won't even know that you're getting tired.

 

When I was younger, I was pretty heavy.

I never wanted to ride a bike or walk.

I wanted to be pampered. I wanted to be chaufeured everywhere I went.

Until this year I didn't realize....I was abusing myself and others.

I didn't want to live like that anymore.

And as everyone's trying to make a difference in the world by getting rid of things that are bad....

....I say, get rid of cars. Our gas prices are exceedingly high, they cause terrible accidents, they pollute alot, they kill helpless animals crossing the street, and can even shorten ones life span.

That's not a world I want to live in. I want a better world....

A better world for my children....

For my children's children....

For my life....

EDIT: I've found some supportive videos to help make my point:

Living In Okinawa: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J7te6UwgSOY

Okay so I help to run this fansite called 'Neighbors' for The Academy Is...
We're probably the #1 TAI Fansite out there. We update everyday and we connect with all of our visitors via the Comment Box on our page. We also have games and FOTM (Fan of the Month) contests every month! We always answer back questions, comments, and suggestions. So we're pretty connected to TAI fans and such! =)
And if you're wondering, we have over 1,700+ pictures!! And I'm in the middle of setting up a page on the site where ou can download all TAI TV episodes and SLH videos!

(by the way, i know i don't look like i'd be a tai fan and more likely a metal music fan. well, i am a metalhead. and i have a metal band. but i'm allowed to love whatever music i want. so...yeah. nobody better call me fake because everyone in the worlds is fake. we're different in front of different people except for infront of ourselves. ....okay i got off topic for a it. sorry! lol =^.^;=)

Anyways, since Bamboozle came and went, I've been looking for pics of TAI from the amazing 3 day event! I've found a fair 50 but I feel that there's more out there...and I'm right! The problem is, I don't know who the pics belong to and it's too much for me to search around and locate who the pics belong to.

So I'm asking, go check out the Gallery before you do this so you don't send me duplicates, any pics that you have from Bamboozle or any concert you've been to that included TAI, please send the pics to me and included your name so that I can give you credit? A photobucket account may be the best option for me if its pictures in bulks or you took tons of pics and you can't send them to me individually. But if you feel you can send them to me individually, send them to me at: killerkitten2005@yahoo.com

Or if you'd like, send them here on Buzznet, my Myspace (http://www.myspace.com/xrag_doll_bridex), or our Official Myspace (http://www.myspace.com/tai_neighbors)!

If you have any questions, comments, suggestions, you can feel free to ask me whenever you'd like!

In Love and Death,
Jenna

It's Hard To Say: Chapter 10: Let Me Be The One Who Calls You Baby All The Time

 

Bert looked into Trish's glistening eyes. She was so beautiful, he didn't want to hurt her anymore. He was scared to hear how she felt when he told her everything, but deep down he wanted to tell her and be honest instead of keeping it a secret. What a guy!

"Trish, I wanna be honest with you about everything." Trish looked at him puzzled. "Wh....what do you mean honest? You've been honest with me since day one--" "NO! No I haven't been. Trish I love you with all my heart. You're one of....no....you're THE coolest girl that I've ever been with. ..........I've been spying on you." Trish's eyes widened as her jaw opened slightly. "I found this note.." Bert reached into his pocket and pulled out the note. "It says I was a loser and that you shouldn't be with me. And then I wanted to show you and ask you about it, but I overheard your conversation on the phone with Brandon. I got scared because I thought you were gonna leave me." Bert lowered his head at the sight of Trish's dissapointed expression. "I......I......I don't want to lose you, Patricia." Bert's words were becoming mumbled and Trish was concerned. She reached for his chin and pushed his head up and was shocked to see his face..........he was crying streams of tears for her.

Trish was feeling betrayed by him. She wanted to shove him away and never see him again..........but she couldn't. As soon as she saw the tears falling from his eyes, all her hatred for Bert suddenly disappeared. She felt that if someone like Bert could have such emotions for her, she would know that they're truely sorry and they want her forgiveness. And she saw this within each drop of his tears. He was beginning to sob making minor moans. It was sad, yet adorable to her. She pulled him in close and wrapped her arms around his body. His tears were falling on her shirt, but she didn't care. He was sobbing harder. "Baby Bert, it's alright. I completely forgive you for everything......I love you with every ounce of my heart, Robert." His eyes shot opened. He stopped sobbing and pushed Trish away to look into her eyes. "You....you mean it? You still love me? After all of this?" She smiled as she wiped the tears from his face with her sleeve. She leaned in and gave him a nice long kiss on the lips. He felt her love resonate from her lips and it made all of his sorrow disappear. he grabbed her and pulled her closer.

After several seconds, they both pulled away. But Trish wasn't done speaking to Bert. "I should probably explain everything, right?" He chuckled and shook his head symboling 'yes'. "Well, the note was, yes, from Brandon. But that night I had read it and I threw it at his face saying that I'd never wanna be with him. I wanted to be with you. And he became enraged and stormed home. I guess to wait for you to figure out everything. He must've seen that Dan was watching us and would automatically think that he would tell you to come find him. But I didn't think it would work." Everything started to make sense to Bert. "So that's why the note looked crumbled! I knew you couldn't have dropped it because you're not that careless." He finished his sentence with a smile on his face. She laughed at it because looked like a cartoon character. "But explain the phone call from Brandon." Trish started to laugh uncontrollably. "What's so funny about you talking to Brandon? Tell me dammit!" "HA HA! That wasn't Brandon! That was my Dad on the phone with me!" Bert's jaw dropped. He felt like such and idiot. "But you guys sounded so lovey dovey on the phone!" "Well that's what a daughter and father are suppose to be like! He was talking about my last boyfriend. But I guess I forgot to tell him I broke up with him like..1 and a half years ago?" She was still laughing, but this time Bert joined in. "Oh man I feel like an idiot." Trish looked at Bert and put her left hand on the right side of his face. "Yeah you are dumb...but you're my sexy dummy!" They both smiled and shared another kiss.

They heard a car horn honking and realized that the guys were still waiting in the car. They jumped up and walked to the car holding each other in their arms.

 

1 year later...

 

We find Bert and Trish on tour with the rest of The Used, but a little more to add. Trish had a band of her own called Emily Sin. It was made up of all girls with matching personalities to each member of The Used. And, surprisingly, each girl was dating one member from The Used, too. Bert and Trish had also been married for 8 months. They wanted to wait at least another year before marrying, but a "little surprise" had come their way. That's right, Bert and Trish had a baby girl named Aimee Elizabeth McCracken. She was about 3 months old at the present time. Everybody was pretty much all one big happy family....and it stayed that way for the rest of their lives.

It's Hard To Say: Chapter 9: All Alone He Turns To Stone While Holding His Breath Not To Die

 

They stood there eye to eye in one light room. The only sounds heard were the breaths coming from Bert, Dan, and Brandon. Sweat was pouring from Bert and Dan's faces. Dan was the more terrified person being that he was the one who took over Brandon's position as the drummer. Not ony sweat, but tears were streaming from his eyes.

Brandon looked right into Bert's eyes. Bert felt as if he was looking at his soul. Brandon had a slight hysteria about him as he spoke. "How could you? How could you, Bert? You replaced me with....with....with him!?!?" He pointed to Dan with the hand holding the axe. Dan clung to Bert even tighter. He had eventually dropped to his knees in terror. Bert whispered to Dan, "Dan, please dude you gotta get up. Come on I need you to get up."

"It's no use, Bert. He won't move. He knows what I'll do to him if he tries to get up and run", said Brandon with a smirk on his face. "And now, I'm gonna show you what I've wanted to do to you after you fired me from the band." He gripped the axe in his hand. He swung at Bert, but Bert dodged it, dragging Dan behind him. "Dan, go hide somewhere!! This is between me and him. You have no business in this!!" Dan nodded his head and ran for one of the bedrooms. Bert heard the door lock and knew he'd be safe. No became the real battle.

Brandon pursued Bert once again, swinging and chopping the areas that Bert would dodge. It took several minutes before Bert started to feel tired from running......bad sign. Brandon swung once more and this time, got Bert in his right shoulder. He made a semi-deep gash but it wasn't fatal. Bert collapsed to the ground in pain and found himself dragging his body to a corner of the room.

"It's all over...", he thought. As his eyes shut and his head leaned on his left shoulder, his last thoughts were of Dan, Jeph, Quinn, and Trish. As he thought of her name echoing through his mind, it had gotten louder and louder.

..........Trish..........Trish..........TRISH!!!!

"BERT!!!!"

Bert's eyes shot open. He knew that voice. Brandon was about to make the fatal blow before he heard the gunshots that had overtaken the echo of her name in his head. Brandon was frozen in an attack strike pose. His eyes her growing wider. After several seconds, blood started to gush from his mouth. The axe dropped from his hands. He fell to his knees with his head hanging. He moaned in pain as Bert looked on at the dying body before him. Brandon picked up his head to look at Bert's eyes once more. He muttered his final words..........and then..........death. He had collapsed in front of Bert with several fatal shots embedded within his chest along with two knives. But why was there more than there would be from an average gun? Bert had looked up to see Quinn, Jeph and Trish standing there with a variety of guns. Quinn had a shotgun, Jeph had a luger, and Trish had a variety of knives surrounding her belt. They looked like they came out of the Resident Evil movies, or even Rambo. Bert was surprised by their appearance, but more surprised as to how they found him and Dan.

Speaking of Dan, he had eventually realized that there was no more violent sounds coming from outside of the room he was locked in. He opened the door slowly just in case Bert had lost the battle, but the gunshots made him think that Bert was saved by someone. And was he ever right! He walked out of the room after seeing Brandon's deceased corpse on the ground. He saw Bert, wounded in the corner near the back door. He ran to him to see if he was still breathing, which he was. He then saw three people heading towards him and realized that it was Quinn, Jeph, and Trish. Jeph and Quinn picked up Dan who still had a shocked look on his face. "I'm so happy that you're okay! What were you thinking bringing him here, Dan?", said Quinn. Dan looked as if he was gonna cry. Jeph looked at Quinn with squinted eyes and smacked the back of his head. Quinn let out a small 'Ouch' and rubbed his head as he squinted at Jeph. "What's wrong with you, man? Can't you see that this isn't the time to be pissed at anyone? Dan almost got killed by the guy who's job he took over!" Jeph shoved Quinn out of the way and led Dan out to the car. Quinn let out a small 'Sorry' and followed behind. As he got to the door, he turned to see Trish tending to Bert's wounds. Bert looked up at Quinn who showed a small smirk on his face. He looked at Trish, then back to Bert, and mouthed to him, "She's a keeper." He pointed to Trish as he said that and then winked at him. Bert slowly nodded and dosed off. Quinn turned back towards the door chuckling and smiling, and left.

Trish and Bert were the only ones left in the house besides Brandon's body. Trish had eventually managed to move Bert away from the body and stretched out onto the couch. Bert's eyes had shut for a while when Quinn left, but he re-opened them to see the love of his life hovering over him tending to his wounds. He showed a smirk as she realized he was awake again. She smiled at him very lovingly. "Well, well, well, my guardian angel has come for me." She laughed as he cleaned up the blood that remained on his shoulder. He laughed too even though it pained him to do so from his injury. "I'm no angel. Let's just say, I'm your kitty cat that's here licking your wounds!" He smiled and chuckled. "You're the sexiest puddy tat to lick my wounds in my lifetime!" They both shared a laugh but it quickly disappeared. Bert had to tell her what was going on. And why he had traveled back to Utah.

He doesn't want to keep anymore secrets from someone he truly wants in his life for all eternity.
