Ah, how I've missed LJ. I've come to a similar conclusion more than once over the last few years but I believe I'm suffering from a bad case of no creative or journaling outlet and this has always been a great place for that. It seems like there's not a lot of time for much of anything outside of work these days and that can be a drag. Whether ( Read more... )

I always thought I just wasn't the type to get heartbroken when musicians pass away, but Scott Weiland and now Chris Cornell passing within the span of a year-and-a-half say otherwise. I've been captivated by Chris' dominant guitar riffs, stunningly soulful voice, hauntingly beautiful melodies, and deeply poetic lyrics since I was a young high- ( Read more... )

This and offering comes to you courtesy of a Volvo TV commercial I just heard it on. Of course one of the top comments reads something like "Growlers sellout mode engage", but fuck that noise. Not to kick a long-dead horse of a debate, but if it were that simple, wouldn't any artist who ever appeared on major TV or radio be a sellout? ANYWAY, this ( Read more... )

Well, I said in my last entry I intended to post and catch up with my friends' entries once a week, so here's my second ( Read more... )

Hello, old friends/internet acquaintances. I can't even tell you how long it's been since I've posted here, but I've been missing it lately and have been thinking of coming back for a while. So here I am, quite a ways past my bedtime on a Sunday night (it's 11:25 pm and I work at 5:00 am), somewhat buzzed and finally dipping my toe into the LJ ( Read more... )

"You couldn't even skateboard to a Blockbuster without getting nuked." Funniest thing I've seen in a while.

I was just made aware of this incredible and very independent band from Germany and it just so happens they're giving everything they've released so far away as free downloads on their SoundCloud page. There's a 2-song single and a 4-song EP and, seriously, every song is gold. I highly recommend taking advantage if you're in the market for very ( Read more... )

I don't usually care too much for humorous or bitter things people post regarding Valentine's Day, but this very NSFW Tumblr page is different. Someone decided to take the idiotic and tasteless comments viewers leave on Pornhub's (like YouTube for porn) videos and put them on valentines and it is absolutely brilliant. They brought me to tears a ( Read more... )

Another Sunday, another Bad Movie Night™. Last night's feature was an awful film from 1990 called Shadowzone. As I've said before and I'm sure I'll say again, anything is forgivable except for just plain dullness and this film is almost intolerably dull. Sure, there are bare breasts and a couple of gory scenes including a juicy head explosion, but ( Read more... )

Well, other than the occasional channel surfing variety, but I still find this amazing and beautiful. Photographer Eric Sterman used the DJI Phantom quadcopter drone rig pictured here to get the stunning footage of Oahu's legendary Banzai Pipeline shown in the video below. Thanks to this quiet technology, cameras are able to get shots from angles ( Read more... )
