“You’re all going to die. I hate to remind you, but it is on your schedule. It probably won’t happen when you’d like; generally it’s an inconvenience.” - George Carlin ( Read more... )

"It’s arrogant for them to give their music away for free - they’ve got millions of pounds. It sends a weird message to younger bands who haven’t done as well... You don’t choose how to pay for eggs. Why should it be different for music?" - Lily Allen ( Read more... )

So a lot has happened since I last posted on this thing. In reading these past posts I see many changes. The era in which they were written was arguably a better one. Things seemed a little easier. Not too much time had passed since we graduated high school, not too many problems existed between people. Basically, the structures †that bound ( Read more... )

Recently I was struggling with a few things. The conflict is between what I want to do and what others want me to do. Between what I'd like to do and what I should do. Which path should I follow? Should I continue the undisciplined routine of a lazy college student attempting to establish a career from my own creativity? Or settle for a secure ( Read more... )

Well it's about time I updated.  But I'm not even gonna talk about anything new, I'm going to review last year.  Yep, we're already into the scond month of 2006 and I'm just now posting about the highlights of 2005.

This past year was quite possibly the most fullfilling year of my twenty years of living.  I spent more time with friends and family, ( Read more... )

     It seems as though the events in my life accumulate to prevent me from going to school.  I loose my ATM card so it's hard to get money out for gas and other expenses.  Then I get pulled over and fined as well as lose my liscense.  So I have limited access to the money that would make things easier and no transportation of my own to get the ( Read more... )

     There's a lot of aggravation caused by society.  Whether it be in pop culture, politics, or other people there are a lot of annoying things out there right now.  And one of the reasons I enjoy System of a Down so much is because there music allows me to vent my frustration caused by these things, especially our current political climate.  As ( Read more... )

This new design was inspired by the color scheme of two bands' albums. Two bands who apparently share some similarities. Both released albums in 2002 that I think incredibly rock, but which they feel are less than their best. Also, both have a dominant front man who at times appear to be the main creative force in the group. Seeing these ( Read more... )

I should really try to update more than once a month.  But since I haven't here's a collection of things going on:

I arrived in Michigan at 2am this morning after a drive that lasted almost an entire day.  It's good to be here visiting family and exploring the place of my birth, but I'm missing out on an incredible opportunity to spend time with my ( Read more... )

     Weezer released a new album today and like every previous Weezer album, this one is unique and represents a different aspect of the band.  Weezer (Blue) was their debut album and defined the basic personality of the band.  Pinkerton simply put was raw, and the raw instrumentation refelected the bare emotion of the lyrics.  After the critical ( Read more... )
