Wtf is going on here? XD

and a Roku HD for my mom for christmas...man, I have spent too much money lately XD

I think Baileys on the rocks is quickly becoming my favorite drink. Tastes great and doesn't have too much of an alcohol taste. You look classier drinking it and I don't get the "stigma" that comes with ordering a fruitier (i.e. girlier) drink. I especially love the Bailey's caramel, though the mint chocolate Bailey's was pretty disappointing. The downside is that it is expensive, especially for the amount of liquid you get. The shiitty part is the off brands just can't stand up. I've tried Emmet's and Caroline's, but they both are marginal at best and not worst saving your money. I have also tried Dooley's, which is essentially an Irish cream that uses vodka instead of whiskey, but I honestly don't like it very much. It has a nice toffee initial taste, but the alcohol tastes is very strong and unpleasant and ruins anything it had going for it. I have also made my own Irish Cream before and that is tasty as hell, but I can't drink much of it because it is so rich. I would like to try St. Brendan's (off brand), E & J's (uses brandy instead of whiskey), and Rum Chata (rum and rice milk).

What the fuck did I just watch?

I have a good feeling that this is going to be a strong winter. I just hope that I'm not wrong XD

How does it compare to the Bundgie games? To be honest, I have never been a Halo fan, I am just curious how they are doing at continuing the series.

Violent Rose – Talk about a killer opening track! Violent Rose establishes the sound and style of this album as a whole and sets the expectations high. There is a little bit of everything in this song. The atmosphere is very thick, with many different layers of guitar and vocals that just blend together without feeling like too much is going on. I love the bass line in this song, while it might not be anything technically amazing, the tone makes it feel almost ominous. This song also introduces the many different vocal styling Morrie uses on this album, from his growls to his falsetto. 9/10 Fire Burn With Me – “Fire” has the problem of being sandwiched directly between what I find to be the two best songs on the album. So while I still find it to be a very good song, it is overshadowed massively. That is not to say that this is a bad song by any means. The guitar solo, while short, is intricate and memorable. 7/10 Phallus Phaser – The prominent riff in this song is so strong that it could almost stand on its own. But added on top of it is this “strumming” (I’m not sure what to call it). It is almost awkward in a way, but it just set up the atmosphere perfectly – dark, heavy, and kind of creepy. The chorus is a break from this heavy mood (kind of a similar way as Mucc’s Libra), but it is what is right after the chorus that is truly great. In an almost a cappella section, Morrie’s light and airy vocals seem to float, and just like that they are jarringly snatched away and we are greeted again with that initial riff. And with a name like Phallus Phaser, how can you not like it? 10/10 Rakuen e – I am finding it hard to write about this track. It does a lot of things right and continues the mood that was already set on the album, but it just doesn’t live up to the previous tracks. I think it might be something to do with Morrie’s vocals…maybe with his delivery or the mix, not sure. Still a solid track though. 6/10 Golden Game – This song changes things up with a bit more of an upbeat feeling. That is not to say that this song is all butterfly and rainbows. The guitar tone is a little less chunky and the tempo is a bit faster. 7/10 Aurora – As the shortest track on this album, it seems to pick up right where Golden Game left off, except it picks up the pace a bit more and might be a bit heavier (except the chorus). 6/10 Mirrors – I am not going to lie, I find the first minute of this song annoying. The guitar riff is just kind of awkward and I really don’t enjoy listening to it. About a minute in the song finally “happens.” Morrie’s vocals with the slower and lighter guitar almost give off a confused feeling. Then at about 1:45 it is like running in to a wall as this song seems to be slammed by thick, fast, and chunky guitar. Then at 2:45 the song does another 180 and we have a pseudo ballad. So many different things in this song…I really don’t know what to say. I would give this song about a 7/10, but I just find the intro so annoying that I have been continually skipping it. 4/10 Dead Rider – My first thought about this song is how I like how forward the drums are and how well they mix with the guitar that seems to be dancing up and down scales. This song then introduces us to the hilarity that is Morrie’s vocals. “BAY BAY! YEAH! I’M HOME!...MA MA MA MA MA MA TA TA!” I don’t even know. There is a lot to enjoy about this song if you can get over how humorous some of the lyrics are. Heck, it might even grow on you! 7/10 Psyche – While the beginning of this album was awesome, the middle was a little less so. This song brings back that level of greatness. The opening guitars are low, heavy, and textured, perhaps creating the heaviest song on the album. Following the opening segment we are greeted with a staccato section of notes with short pauses that just really makes for an awesome texture. What I assume to be violin creates an interesting “screech” that adds to the mood of this song. The addition of other synth noises helps with this as well. 8/10 Kurumeki – Much lighter than Psyche, Kurumeki is a much smoother and uplifting track. However, it suffers from the same problem as Rakuen e does (in fact, they are very similar song). Morrie’s vocals just seem to be a bit off. It is if they are floating over the music instead of mixing with them fully. This could very well be all down to the mixing and mastering. That said, this is still a great song. It takes a ton of different guitar tones, some which don’t even sound that great by themselves, and mix the to create something awesome. 7/10 Andromeda – Probably the closest thing to a ballad, the longest track on this album makes for a great closer. The vocal problems I mentioned in Kurumeki are nowhere to be found in this song. Starting out light and soft and moving to a bit more dramatic and full, this song seems to wind along on a journey of many different sounds and sections. It does this without feeling ADD as well. And with this, Creature Creature stuck the landing. 9/10 This album does what is does amazingly well. It creates a cohesive sound and atmosphere and holds it through the entire of the album without it feeling tired by the end. This really helps the weaker songs on the album, because while they wouldn’t work that well on their own, as a part of a whole they build on to that feeling (In that way it reminds me of OZ’s VERSUS). I think Creature Creature has a winner on its hands. 8.5/10

Dead of Alive 5 (ps3) Kizer Slimline 2 rollerblade frames The promo video for these frames used a Mouse on the Keys song. It made me wtf? https://vimeo.com/47585792

God, I would have loved to grow up in a bilingual household, no matter the language. Do I wish I was Japanese? Heck no? Maybe I did for a short period in middle school, but I also thought it would be awesome to be a Gundam pilot (fuck, I still think that lolol). That said, are their things I am envious about Japanese/Asians? of course! 1) Their hair. I love all the different shit they can do with it. But hey, I would go for any hair that isn't mine at this point...massive widow's peak, thin, balding.... -____- 2) Their style. This might be a little weird but I have never seen a bad Japanese skater, they all seem to have this amazingly fluid style. Even their teenaged girls have more style in their skating than I ever will. https://vimeo.com/44874703 3) Their lack of body hair (for the most part). It would be nice to not have chest hair, just saying lololol. 4) Their over all look. I have always admired how Asians look. I don't think I would ever want that for myself, though.

Rubber was so fucking weird. I made it like 20-30 minutes in and that is all I could handle.

Damn, I can not wait for winter! XD

Older image, but still one of my favorites:

yeah, I thought that was weird. I kind of expected him to break that record, but I suppose it makes sense when you look at it that way. I thought that was really cool that Kissinger was talking to him the entire time.

I will always miss Tora, but the PV/song was pretty good. I really don't mind their new direction at all. I really enjoyed the bridge. Wish they would have left out that bit of auto tune, though.

If you didn't wait Felix's jump from 24,000 feet yesterday, damn did you miss out. Click here if you want to read more He managed to break the sound barrier while in free fall from the edge of space and I'll be damned if it wasn't the coolest things I have ever watched.

I think it has a chance of working. Perhaps not for the super popular artist, but I think this could bode well for a lot of less popular artists. Smaller labels have adapted much better with the times and I think this will be just a continuation of this. Heck, this reminds me a lot of what Bandcamp is, but in a very different way...and I LOVE the direction Bandcamp has been taking music.

What are you talking about? CAT5 already comes in a bunch of different colors!

First off I will say I am mostly against drug use. I have not and will never use any illegal drugs. I don't need that shit to have fun/mellow out/get high. there are so many other ways to do this stuff, ways that are productive or less expensive or something that is worth actually telling as a story. Second I will say that I am for legalizing all but the worst of drugs. Who am I to tell you what you can do? Legalize it. This way we can regulate it, tax it, and effectively end these massive drug wars. It also stops a lot of people from doing this shit, it takes out a lot of the cool factor. I feel the same way about prostitution. That doesn't mean I agree with it and I hope that all of you guys avoid this shit. Mei, admitting that you have a problem is the first step. I am glad that you are able to tell us what you are doing and that you know that it is a problem. I know it is hard but I would try and limit yourself from the places that you know that are bad for you. Also, try to confide in some that you trust, someone that won't judge you, but that will be will to help you keep away from your problems. It's ok to take it slowly. Good luck, man, and know that if you need some more advice we are here and (I'd at least like to think) we won't judge you for it.

Took you long enough I kid! Welcome back!

I love Luna Sea. The One was fucking awesome and I don't have a doubt in my mind that this will be great too. Luna Sea is what X Japan wishes it was.

God, that just reminded me of how god awful Skrillex is...

New self portrait lol

Zess, I have concluded your campus would be so much fun to skate. Probably would get kicked out soo fast though.

6/10 Cause I am a hard ass lol
