Holly's Haven

Okay, I know. You've probably already wondered "What's with the gurl?". That would be Holly. I guess you could say Holly's the good luck charm, mascot, logo, and female influence of Blinked. Holly's also a big help, she's sorta like my devil's advocate, she puts in a good word where it's needed. Anyhow, I've said my bit, just one more thing. Holly isn't exactly predictable (gurls...) or controllable for that matter, so whatever happens here, happens. I dunno, there just isn't much I can do about it really...

Ya, that's enough from you Scott. Hiya! I'm Holly. Lucky me, I've got a section of my very own :)
My job is just to behave myself and talk about the best band in the world, Blink182!
But that doesn't mean I'm going to... only if I feel like it!

The End of Blinked
26/04/2001 - Hiya. Hmmm, seem's like that's it for Blinked :( Well, atleast for now, who can say what will happen in ther future? (nobody on the end of 1-800 number, don't give me that crap). Anyhow, Scott's got other things and responsibilities to concentrate on, so others will have to carry the torch :). Props to all Blink182 fans, especially those who have been with them since Cheshire Cat, those are the true fans. Thanks to anyone who has visited and enjoyed the site. That's it. See ya in 2015 ;)

Apple Pie Cowboy Tooth Paste
03/10/2000 - Endorsment? No. How's it going :) ? Hmmm, my music got bumped today. We lost the light Volcano Gurls punk for some You Get What You Give... Scott likes the whale noises at the start, what a goof... so, it's not like I had a say anyhow. Besides, it's better than the other two choices available, some Daftpunk song or "Can't Get Enough of You Baby" (Smashmouth forever, lol). The About Me Section got the Popples theme upgrade, so naturally I was feverishly jealous *rolls eyes* Anyhow, with that disscussed, down to the little sumthin' sumthin' news. Mark Hoppus of Blink182 will be married to some lucky gurl on December 2nd of this year. I don't know her name (terrible, I know). Some info hound I am huh :) ? Well sorry, 'cause I'm not pulling out my copy of The Urethra Cronicals to find out. Oh, I'd just like to say that the amount of feedback and hits from visitors lately has been awesome. I'm so glad people get something good out of Blinked, that's what it's here for. Enjoy, cya!

Man Overboard!
21/09/2000 - Did you hear the new song?! That's right, Blink182 just released another song... but for radio only (Awwww). But the good news is "Man Overboard" and a few other live recordings from tours should be available on a CD single around November 7th, 2000. Blink182 are SO funny live! I hear they'll be putting some of their "inappropriate shorts" on the new single, which will make it all the more desirable :) If you live in Australia, I'm sure you already know that they're touring your country all through early November. Don't be stupid, get a ticket! Gosh it's cold today, brrr.... and now for a scary thought: Prep Rally... *shiver* uhhnn... I feel so dirty, I'm going to go brush my teeth...

Subject Goes Here
11/08/2000 - Hiya, me again! It's been a while, missed me? (don't answer that). Anyhow, it's been busy lately, lots going on. This isn't the only thing I have going for me you know :) Okay, news and stuff. Well, if you live in Canada, try watching MuschMusic 'cause there's a half an hour "Gonna Meet A Rock Star" segment with them on there sometimes. It's pretty funny (Blink182... go figure), so it's worth seeing. They dump the girl's purse and go through all her stuff and make her go on a roller coaster with them, and other fun stuff :) Have you ever been to Loserkids.com? Well, if you haven't, you should. They have a few sections on there directly focused on Blink182, some of which are really cool. My favorite is the recorded message section, Tom and Mark have some strange things to say... you have to go see to understand :) One last thing: I made a mistake before about something (..sorry). The Jailbait soundtrack (full of punk, including B182 and Fenix TX) was available in the U.S. a few months ago, but now it's availible pretty well everywhere (except, like... if you live near the South Pole or whatever). Just don't embarress yourself at the store by saying "But Mr. Music Store Guy, Holly said I could buy it anywhere". Boys and gurls, just remember, not everything I say is completely accurate (and that goes for your parents too). Okays, that's all for now, enjoy the rest of your summer!

Give Me Shelter
19/07/2000 - Hey, what's up? Oh! Turn your volume up! You like? Music was added to Blinked just today. I was okay with the pure and honest silence of it all, but this is cool too :) Anyhow, here's something nice I read that I wanted to pass on:
"Punk is who you are, it's not what you're trying to be. If you are punk, you can do anything and still be punk. It doesn't matter what you dress like, it doesn't even matter what kind of people you surround yourself with, or what kind of music you play. If you are punk, you can do anything and still be punk. It's about what you're saying and what you're doing. It's how you think. Punk is a classic way of thinking. It's an ideology that goes back much farther than people think. You can't take that away. Ask any punk if punk destroyed them or saved them, they'll usually tell you that it saved them." - Greg Graffin, Bad Religion

Rainy Day
10/07/2000 - Hiya, how's it going? It's rainy today, blah. But that's okay, there's lots to do right here :) The topic of the day is an interesting one: many people like to think Blink182 is "pop" (as in pre-fabricated radio fodder). But Blink182 is NOT "pop". Blink182 is punk. Now, punk can be broken down into a few subcategories, but it's still punk. Everybody knows who Green Day is right? I like to think of Green Day as Country/Punk, but they're not country. Right now, I think Blink182 is Pop/Punk. Cheshire Cat was different, but I think both Dude Ranch and Enema of the State are Pop/Punk. Other bands that might be labeled the same way are Fenix TX, Sum41, and maybe even The Suicide Machines, depending on how you look at it. It's all good though! They have the perfect mix of punk subject matter, and the catchy sound of pop. But it's not pop (I feel like the guy off of that Oatmeal Crisp commercial, remember that? "Aye, it's a bonnie cereal, but it's NOT OATMEAL" "I know Mum, it's Oatmeal Crisp" ...lol). Like, how about I start calling Mandy Moore Punk/Pop? Why the hell not?! She's got skateboards in her music video. Lots of them! So, she has some, (despite how little) of the punk element incorperated in her music career. But she's still pop, that's just how it is. So, if you want to call Blink182 Pop/Punk, that's fine, but they're not pop. Anyhow... that's that. Oops, almost fogot, here's a pic of me hanging around at home. Cya :)

And Maybe, I'll See You...
21/06/2000 - You see Blink182 in alotta different places these days (I'm still waiting for the milk commercial), but one of the strangest places I think is in the movies. It's true, they do that! Apparently (I say apparently, 'cause I'm yet to check this for myself), you can find Tom playing a small part in the movie "Idle Hands". Also (I know this for sure), you can check out "American Pie" if you want to see the whole band doing some acting. They're actually not that bad either!

Fenix TX
21/06/2000 - Tellll me something that's sure to break my heart 'cause everythhhinng's my fauuult And I know I deserve to be alone 'cause everythhhinng's my fau... ... oops.. lol :). I just got the Fenix TX album (CD/self-titled), and it's really good! As you know (or atleast you should!), Fenix TX is touring with Blink182 and providing their drummer because Travis hurt his finger. Fenix TX is a lot like Blink182. They're music sounds somewhat similar, and they have the same sort of humour too. So, I'd highly reccommend them to anyone who asked me, $$$ well spent :)

Jailbait
12/06/2000 - Hey, what's up? Blink182's lastest soundtrack contribution is now in stores. The soundtrack is for the movie "Jailbait", and features their song "Dumpweed". There's a track by Fenix TX on there too. Fenix TX is touring with them this summer, along with Bad Religion. Poor Travis :( . Did you hear about his finger? He broke it (I dunno how). Fenix TX's drummer will be taking his place until his finger gets better.

First Thoughts
10/06/2000 - Sooo, here it is. Not even 2 weeks old and Blinked is already getting some good feedback, that's so great! Aww gee, I even have my own fan club (Pat Davy - guestbook signer... lol). How does that song go? "Ya, I'm the Pat Davy, the umm.. real Pat Davy, all you other Pat Davy's are uhh.. ya, so won't the real Pat Davy please stand up, please stand up, please stand up." Hahaha, that was fun (even if those aren't the real words... but I like B182, not Eminem!). Anyhow, since I'm apparently "the best thing about the site", I think Scott will let me keep my job here :)

Holly
10/06/2000 - Hiya, Holly here! How's it going? Sorry for the wait, life is busy! But I'm now ready to do my part for the commen good of Blink182 and their followers :)
