Magic Beans


So, I went to see The Brothers Grimm yesterday. It was a good movie as long as you can tolerate the following things:
  1. A somewhat predictable fantasy plot
  2. Graphic depiction of a chicken being skinned
  3. A kitten getting kicked into a blender...Yes, you heard me.
  4. Old ladies
  5. REALLY old ladies
  6. A forest being burned
  7. A bunch of obscure references to fairy tales

I, personally, enjoyed the movie for what it was. If you don't enjoy movies with far-fetched plots, don't bother with this, you will hate it. However, if you like odd fantasy movies with a bit of black humor, you'll have fun with this one.

The current going-ons.

So anyway, here's what's going on with me.

First, I have two college classes, Accounting and Psychology. Accounting is boring and stupid with the exception of a few cetain times when my teacher has wigged out (THIS IS AN ASSET!). Psychology is held in a very hot room. I've slept through both my psychology classes so far, I shall fail!

I finally found a freshman all for myself. I named him Timothy. I don't know what his real name is. He's so cute ^_^.

ANYWAYS...I've been comming along nicely on Captain Synth 3. It's got a harder and more aggressive edge than Reflection Pool. I obviously did this to appeal to a more hardkore generation. Actually, it's just because the songs are a good deal angrier. But anyway, I suppose I should be done by the new year, depending on how often I get opportunities to record. *sigh* I need a job....

WHEE! good day!

yay! TGIF!!!
Well, today was great. It was a short day! Yeah, i had lunch with all my buddies!!! had lab ih physics! and got a few hugs and a kiss from an unamed source!!! :D...lol. and i left my lights on all day, so pancho's (my truck) battery was dead. So...my awesome friends stayed and helped me out! :D I love you all! Well, i would have gone into more detail, but i've g2g to a CYS (carolina youth symphony) retreat thing soon so goodbye!!!

Think Marilyn Manson looks wierd?


Now for something completely unrelated! I will give you the FIVE most obnoxiously ridiculous people in metal.

OSCAR DRONJAK (HammerFall)
Don't get me wrong, HammerFall is the shizniz, but Oscar is not. Actually, Oscar's guitaring is, but his choice of clothing. I wish I could find the picture from Renegade in which he appears in a full suit of armor. C'mon! Power metal isn't going to loose the nerdy stereotype with people like you around!

GALDER (Dimmu Borgir)
Black metal tends to have a tendency to be ridiculous, and I forgive a lot of the stupid looking people in the genre, but DAMN is this guy asking for it. For one, he's bald. Bald people aren't metal. Except Rob Halford. This guy is no Halford. Two, the smile. It's like an evil clown. Only bald. Three, well, just look at him. He looks stupid.

LOST HORIZON (Band)
Lost Horizon is simply horrible. Just look at them. The capes and tribal face paint scream stupid more obnoxiously than Dani Filth giving birth to a porcupine (See: Any Cradle of Filth song). What's worse than the fact that they look ridiculous, is the fact that they actually THINK they are these people. Every member of the band has a nickname ranging from Cosmic Antagonist to Preternatural Transmogrifier. Transmogrifier. That's the stupidest word I've ever heard of.

WALDO (Hatebeak)
Look at him, sitting there on that guys shoulder. Waldo is the singer for the death metal band Hatebeak. I swear, he sounds just like a parrot. Heck, he even looks like a parrot. It's almost as if he was a parrot. No. No one would be stupid enough to have a parrot sing for their death metal band...

So there you go. 4 reasons why you aren't ugly. Actually, you are ugly. You're probably Oscar Dronjak in disquise. Nerd.

Stuff happened today!


I thought of that line a long time ago and convieniently remembered it for this. My shirt says Korpiklaani. It's a metal band with heavy folk influences. It'd be pretty fun to listen to high. Listen to them, it's hardcore.

What all have I done today. Lets see. I woke up at about 9 because everone was yelling and screaming. I bought pizza for everyone because mom is broke, then fell asleep or something. At about 1, my friend called me and we talked for a little while. Then around 2 I went to the mall. While there, I picked up Children of Bodom - Hate Crew Deathroll, which is excellent (as opposed to their newest single "In Your Face"). Then I got my haircut. It's basically the same as it was, but a bit thinner, so that's good. Now I'm here, writing in this blog thing, listening to Children of Bodom.

As far as Hate Crew Deathroll goes, it's the most hardcore power metal you'll ever hear. Every song is sexelent in the best way possible. It's better than your stupid music.

So anyway, this is starting to bore me. I'll be back in a few days, with news of my third attempt at the driving test and the begining of school.

The beach is boring

Like it? (if you can't read it, click on it or get a bigger monitor). I like it. That's the important part. I'll draw more whenever I feel like it.

So anyway, I was at the beach last week. It was boring as a really boring thing. Don't bother asking me which beach it was, they're all the same >.<. I hit on a pirate though, that was funny. True story. He was advertising some costume shop, and I asked him if he had sexy costumes. He said yes, and asked me if I wanted to take these two women (my cousin and my sister) in there to dress them up in the sexy costumes. I gave him that odd smile and said "I want to take you in there and dress you up in those sexy costumes!" He gave me an awkward look and my sister pulled me off. It was great. I walked in there again later in the week and he started looking at me all funny then stumbled toward the back of the store. It was great. The rest of the trip was pretty boring.

Oh yeah, and Children of Bodom - Are You Dead Yet? is going to suck a whole whole lot if it all sounds like "In Your Face." A real shame, "Hate Crew Deathroll" and their last single, "Trashed Lost & Strungout" were both great. Oh well, we still have Gamma Ray - Majestic to look forward to.

Who am I kidding? No one listens to good music v.v
