"I remember Piano Lessons, the hours in freezing rooms, cruel ears and tiny hands, destroying timeless tunes"

See ya!

Hey guys, I'd like to explain why I haven't been around, but there are more important matters at hand, so I'll talk about that next blog, but....

IT'S TRUE!!! I GOT A 360 ELITE!!!(bet you didn't think I'd actually get one, huh)

I'm so excited! I just got Gears and Bioshock, and I'm expecting the Orange box anyday in the mail! I just started both games, and they define the word amazing. I also just created an xbox live account, so plz send me a message and add me as a friend! I'd love to play a round of Gears sometime! (Just remember, I'm still a noob, so go easy on me)

UP THE 360!!! AND THE IRONS!!!

Sorry the blogs a bit overdue...
BUT RUSH WAS MIND-BLOWING!!! Where to start... Everyone was top-notch at everything.Geddy managed to hit all the high notes quite well and his bass was really audible as well as being the most energenic of the trio, while alex was as clear as a bell, his tone was great and his solo's were excellent. Neil probably stole the show though, he didn't skip a single beat and his drumwork was insane, especially when he did his 10-minute solo! He'd play for a little bit then get up while his drum kit spun, revealing an electric drum set as well! The stage was set up somewhat odd, With toy dinosaurs on the amps and chicken roaster's where more amp's should've been. Also occausionaly a chef would check on the chickens! Geddy also pull out a video camera, and toldeveryone to shout "hi canada", to show his friends. Luckily, I was literaly I few feet away from them, so I know I got in there! They played veriety of songs around 35-40, including many from their new album. I was surprised how all the songs sounded quite similar to the studio versions(Maybe not that surprised... I mean it's Rush were talkin' about!)I gotta say, I was a little dissapointed when they didn't play New World Man, The Trees, or Working Man! At least they played Subdivisions! Also at the end, there was a funny vid of South Park called "lil Rush" when they're playing Tom Sawyer, Cartmans completely screwing up the lyrics, saying something like "Tom Sawyer was floating down a river on a raft with a black man!" When Kyle corrects him by saying "that's huckleberry finn, stupid!" When they start over on the "one, two three..." that's when Rush started they're c lassic, Tom Sawyer. Good to know they have a sense of humor! But it was incredable. Seriously, a night I'll never forget!

Also, has anyone heard of the so called rasism in RE5? You know, shooting black zombies is supposed to be some big issue, and it teaches people to hate blacks, apperiently? That makes me sick! Sure, it's okay to shoot white and spainerd zombies, but when it comes to blacks, it's an excuse that to blame capcom that they're spreading white supremacy. I mean, it takes place in africa! What race are they supposed to be? And they're zombies, so you have to kill them in self-defense! It's not like you storm a village and start a genocide just because they're black! Geez...

Sorry if that offended you somehow, I'm not rasist, just so you know. Just wanted to add that, because everything's being deemed as rasist nowadays...

Well, sense school's starting to heat up, I'll barely be on anymore... mainly weekends I'll be on, sadly. It sucks, but I've been screwing up school too much, and I need to get back on track.

To lazy again for the music quiz...

UP THE RUSH!!! I guess it doesn't quite fit, huh

Yeah, this week has been my first back to school as a sophmore... The first time I hit my alarm, I thought "I'm ready for another vacation"But school's been going pretty well so far, because I get to see all my friends again, witch is cool, and all my teacher's seem pretty cool as well, even "Mr. Fabolous," as he likes to be called...Guess I don't have to explain what his deal is So this looks like it's going to be a good year.

I also hit 1000 song on my ipod finally... so to celebrate(and also because I'm bored), I'm going to give you guys a tour of all the awesome bands in my ipod. If you want some good new bands, check this out. Enjoy!

Amon Amarth- Cool Viking death metal.

In Flames-Another awesome melodeath band.Their older stuff is, at least.

Iron Maiden-(see black sabbath discription)

Megadeth-Also one of my fav groups, their new album smokes!

Metallica- Old stuff: thrash! new stuff: (yawns) trash. You know it's "sad but true"

Morbid Angel- One of the creaters of death metal, and they definetly deserve that title.

Motorhead- Buy their greatest hits, and you'll be set.

Opeth-Progressive death? Does that not scream awesome?

Slayer- Guarenteed to terrify annoying little children!

Testament- Same as Sepultura. When are these guys comeing out with a new album?

Tool-The most weirdest band ever, but also one of the most addicting. Recently got into them.

Trivium-Why does everyone hate these guys? Is it so criminal to pick up where metallica left off?

My fingers hurt Check out these bands if your a metalhead like me! I mean, they must be good if I like it(considering how picky I am)
Tomorrow's the big day... Rush, coming to Phoenix! I'm getting chills just thinking about it! Of course, I'll be writing a blog about it, so stay tuned.

What's that? You want the music quiz? Eh... just look up the following bands on itunes for something much greater them some dumb 'ol quiz!Geez!

UP THE IRONS!

But I can't! I'm on a completely different time schedule it seems, I go to bed around 1 am and wake up around 12 in the morning! But I'm trying to go to bed early, since school starts this Friday. Yeah, school starts on a Friday. WTF?! Well, it is a little exciting that I'm going to see all my friend's again, but it's not exciting that it's well, school Ah well, just two more years and I'm out of high school...

Well, my guitar lessons are getting crazy!(In a good way)My teacher has put me on a six-month "Metal Method" course. I'm learning all sorts of amazing things, including the minor CAGED system, sweep arpeggios, the diminished scale, and weird new intervals. I swear, whoever invented this damn instrument is a genious! There's so much math involved in learning theart of the shred.

Oh, and I got tickets to see the legendary band, Rush, on the 27th! I simply cannot wait! I'm a big fan of their complex and beutiful music, and so is my pop. It gives me chills just thinking that I'm going to see Geddy Lee, Alex Lifeson, and Neil Peart, in the flesh! I'll tell you all about it when tha

I'm also thinking about a new profile look. What do u guys think? I definietly need a new banner, though I'm embarassed to say, I suck at photoshop If anyone would make me a cool banner, that would be greatly appreiciated Just PM me if you're interested.

I've also started my PS3 fund... 60 bucks. Damn, I need a job Luckily I'm a money magnet. I'll have 500 bucks in no time!

Quick and easy music quiz...

"Hello me, meet the real me,and my misfits way of life;a dark black past is my, most valued possession;Hindsight is always 2o-20, but looking back, it's still a bit fuzzy; You speak of mutually-assured distruction? Nice story... Tell it to reader's digest!"

And since I'm gonna see Rush, some lyrics from my favorite song by them....

"Growing up, it all seems so one-sided, Opinions all provided, The future pre-decided, detached and sub-divided, in the mass-production zone, Nowhere is the dreamer, or the misfit so alone."

Good songs. Sorry if the blog's a little sloppy, it is 11 over here!Well, I'm off to catch some z's. UP THE IRONS!
