I'm pretty much a Rockstar drinker. I try to balance that out with things like Vitmain Water though. But it's not an all the time thing either. I do like the tase of energy drinks though. The smell is horrible for anything other than Rockstar in my opinion. It's about the only one I can stand.

I've been working on a project for a few years now. It's called Mechanical Undead and we're on myspace. Nothing has come out yet. There's been various idiotic recordings but never anything serious enough that I'd put it on myspace, let alone on a cd. Anyways, it began with me and couple of my friends from school. We were more in the vein of horrorpunk such as Wednesday 13 and the Murderdolls, but also some industrial. Mostly nu-metal crap though. The sad things is that I probably put the most effort into the band at that time.... Now it's just three of us. Garrett is our guitarist and he can play basically anything if you give him some time and like 2 energy drinks. Sad? I dunno. Chris is our bassist. He doesn't exactly play in the band, but he practices with us. He's a little scared to mix it up sometimes, which is probably his only problem. I got a peice of crap drum set that needs new heads, plus a new bass kicker. And coming up with that kind of money is hard as hell sometimes. I'd say the one thing holding us back now is that no one can come up with any ideas for songs. Garrett has a lot of riffs, but he's just reluctant to make them evolve into songs. We're influenced by a couple different bands. We like the skacore type stuff like Leftover Crack and Dancehall Satan, but also crustcore/crust-punk like Discharge, Amebix, and Skitsystem. Than lastily we like thrash bands. Particularly the "new wave thrash" bands like Municipal Waste. Anyways, we're probably got DIY some kind of release here soon and see how that works.

Name: Lex Höglind Age: 22 Gender: Male Personality: He's slightly sarcastic, but still works well in groups. He's outgoing, curious, but also surreal in the way he acts and makes choices. He'll fight if he must but he's usually more concerned about his group. Appearance: Dark blue dreaded mohawk and a black denim vest with various patches and studs all over. Beneath the vest is a plain black hoody. Blue, slightly baggy pants with a black studded belt. His right eyebrow is his only peircing. Typically will wear steel toe boots. Green eyes and light tan skin color. Occupation: He didn't have a real job before the virus. He was a squatter living in the city in an abandonned apartment with a couple hobo friends. His typical routine activities during the day included spare changing people, finding food, and securing his squat. Before he was a squatter he hopped trains and went all over the country. Skills: He's great with schematics. He knows the streets of many cities from his train hopping days. He can use junk to his advantage as well and easily make good makeshift items when their needed. Learns quick and adapts well to his situation. Tick: He's a squatter. He's got street smarts. Unlike most drugged-up bums though he's smart in that he doesn't get consumed by much of anything. He's independent and will find his way when needed. Bio: Lex came from a small town. He knew as a child he wasn't meant to follow the main path. At the age of 16 he hopped his first train and went to a neighboring town. Since then he's found ways to care for himself. At the age of 19 he moved to NYC and found a simple abandonned squat. He learned many tactical things from living in a big city. Things which could help him save himself in an emergency. He began carrying around knives for one, but in his squat there is a self made spear he made. Lex was slightly drunk one night coming back from a show when the first signs of the virus showed in NYC. The police were roaming the streets and mistook him for one of the mutants. Lex ended up running back to his squat after being pursued by the police for three blocks. By the time he got home, he could hear the city slowly falling into mayhem. Sirens, gunfire, screaming, flickering lights, and later on in the night, explosions. Lex began barricading the stairwell up to his squat on the 7th floor. Luckily there were few people in these abandonned apartment buildings, and the floor above him was impossible to reach.

For the past couple months I've been listening to nothing but thrash and crust. One band that has stuck out among all others is [b]Hellbastard[/b]. I just got the LP "Heading For Internal Darkness" It's all semi-old fuzzy stuff but I love it. The song [i]they brought death[/i] has been stuck on me for awhile. It's got a bit of a jumpy grind sound that's addictive.

I wouldn't mind seeing it. I think too many people, put too much effort into "judging a book by it's cover" or in this sense, a movie. And ya know what else. If I did go and see this movie and it suffered because of a lack of a plot...oh well! I got to see a bunch of explosions and gun fighting. Yeah!!

I'm more of a metal-punk head so my opinion here is limited. Acey Slade who played in bands like Dope, Murderdolls, and Trashlight Vision. He's amazing. Especially the stuff he in TLV which was influenced by Guns N' Roses, Iggy Pop, and The Stooges. Another great guitarist is Michael Ammot of Arch Enemy. Micheal played in the band Carcass in his early days and was one of the inovators of grindcore before crust and grind intermingled much. His stuff can be either as hardcore or melodic as he wants. There's also the brothers, Anders Björler and Jonas Björler, who played for At The Gates and now play in The Haunted. I think the stuff they pulled out in At The Gates was some of the most fendemental music to come out of the gothenberg death metal movement. Lastly, there's Kerry King because he's the god of thrash metal and Slayer rulez.

[size=1]Well. I've beena fan of evenesance for a long time. Although I only have her first album. I saw the music video to "Call Me When Your Sober" and was fiarly impressed. I don't think she strays too far from her roots though. "Sweet Sacrifice" is a good sounding song too but it seems to have the same attitude she had back in the Fallen days. I dunno. Nevertheless, she's really talented.[/size]

[size=1]Well all I can say Jake, is that you guys have an amazing future with Edda. Our drummer Nick is obsessed with your stuff. I guess he was talking to Jeff and learned about FruityLoops or something. We've already done two songs now that Nick has done digitally on that program and it's amazing. You guys are a major influence on Mechanical Undead, just letting ya know. And I'm in agreement with Amorphous here. If you guys were to make an album I would be very eager to buy it. What's amazing is that, you guys have never even met and yet you have more pageviews than some of the major local acts around my town, on myspace. Keep it up![/size]

[size=1]Well, according to Amorphous I listen to alot of goth. I would say that bands like KoRn and Slipknot are most oriented towards punk and grunge. I understand that they did attract quite a large amount of gothy scene kids to their music which is fine by me. It's when style and music gets confused when we have problems. The 69 Eyes are probably my favorite goth band. It seems as if they are more oriented towards the Misfits style of music and look. Bam Margera supports them in his show from time to time and on his cheapo little label.[/size]

[size=1]Oh dear god. I don't know what I have been missing. Last weekend a friend and I went to the local music shop and checked some music out. I finally decided to look a little into Dead Kennedys and was not dissapointed in the least. I bought their album: [i]Give Me Convenience or Give Me Death[/i] Hardcore punk, rocks my socks now![/size]

[size=1]It's sad. Where I live, not many people realize or pay very much attention to such things as being superficial. They go about their lives controlled by outside influences and have lost sight of who they are within, thus becoming what everyone wants. There are some though, that focus more upon both their inner and outer appearence. We have mostly every stereotype imaginable, except for that Chav thing. What I see for the most part is that everyone in my town has a powerful outer appearence, but it's only the rebellious people such as the punks who have varied inner appearences. I think for the most part, I'd choose to smeel clean and be dirty.[/size]

[size=1]I have a few songs of theirs that I downloaded. They're a pretty good band. Gene has a unique voice that stands out among other punk bands. Alot of people would look at their image first though and call them emo. I think they're more in league with bands like Trashlight Vision, Backyard Babies, and The Chelsea Smiles. They sort of sound like a more dynamic version of Sex Pistols style punk rock.[/size]

[size=1]Nobody in my band, The Mechanical Undead, has a side project except for our bassist/mixer Skitto. So I'll just talk about his little thing. His project is called Neu-Troll. It's really good sounding stuff. He's already finished about one albums worth of music and he's working on his second. He does some electronic stuff with his computer and guitar. I think he uses the program FruityLoops to make his music. I tried using it but it's a little but it's kind of complicated if you're totally new to electronic music making. He's got a myspace with some music on it and his newest song is his best my far.[/size]

[size=1]Oh snap. Not a lust thread. So many beautiful ladies. Well I have a few celebrity vixens in mind for this thread. [b]Sheri Moon Zombie[/b] [IMG]http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y85/boxhoy/medium_sheri_moon-7.jpg[/IMG] In my opinion Sheri Moon Zombie has the cutest face in all of entertainment. She's a killer too which makes it way better. Plus she can tolerate Rob Zombie and his abstract lifestyle which is pretty cool because there's nothing better than when a girl can tolerate a guy for his odd side. [b]Winona Ryder[/b] [IMG]http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y85/boxhoy/winona.jpg[/IMG] She's just beautiful and she's a faboulos actor. Her whole persona changed between Mr. Deeds and A Scanner Darkly. That's cool because it's talent and passion, both of which I find attractive in a girl. [b]Otep[/b] [IMG]http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y85/boxhoy/otepmirror.jpg[/IMG] She's a rebel and that's big on my list. You need to have a sense of social initiative and Otep has that. She can take down any guy which is cool and kinky.[/size]

[size=1]God, I never knew how far Seth Green's humor went. I like the whole Moral Orel skit they have. I've seen some other great ones as well like when the members of Nsync were all killed except Joey and he learned karate and fought some giant Britney Spears monster. My view of the show may be a tad skewed though. I haven't seen a lot of episodes, just a select few and those were awesome. Maybe the rest suck or something cuzz people seem to hate this show in my town.[/size]

[size=1]Sampling is relatively new to me, but I have no problem with it. I really didn't understand what sampling was until I saw this thread so thank you Mr. Maul. The industrial band, Crossbreed has a few good samples. I'm not sure where they obtain their samples from but there's songs like Pure Energy with samples that they've remixed up. Slipknot has a sampler/sythesizer "Craig" but they don't use him much anymore. I think Eyeless is the most obvious song of their where samples are used. Other than that I don't know any bands that openly use samples. But back to the topic at hand, I think it's fine if you are smart about not going overboard with samples.[/size]

[size=1]I find it hilarious what some people will do to support something they like. I just read this article the other day and I thought I should share it with you guys. I know I've made obvious my support for nu metal acts like Slipknot in the past and I still do. This is just a funny article I found. [quote=bonnersprings.com]Jesse Truesdale of Bonner Springs, Kansas' The Chieftain reports that a note containing lyrics to the song "Surfacing" by SLIPKNOT was located near a grave that was found robbed Tuesday morning (August 15) at the Bonner Springs Cemetery. Kenneth Brooks, sexton of the cemetery, was working at about 11 a.m. that day when he found evidence of a crime unique in his experience. "The ground was turned up," Kenneth Brooks said, on the recently laid grave of Justin Manning. Manning died July 25 in a car wreck on I-70 near the I-435 exit when the pickup truck he was riding in rammed a highway sign pole. The container with the ashes that had been in the grave was taken. Manning's mother, Angela Bickham, said, "I don't know what I think now. It's unbelievable ? it's beyond even being able to comprehend how someone can kidnap an urn." Bickham said she didn't know who could have robbed the grave. There had been some trouble at Manning's funeral, where his friends wanted to bury a hat and some CDs with his urn. Bickham said she didn't want to name those friends while the police investigation is ongoing.[/quote] So here's the question I'm preseting before you all. At what point do you believe people need to settle down in their devotion to music or movies or whatever. Becuase honestly, there are people who get a bit obsessed like Johnny Depp fans (no offense).[/size]

[quote name='Charles']Because it's so necessary to make an "I'm Leaving" thread with a sucky sub-topic when you've only made thirty-seven (borderline incoherent) posts. I'm glad that the OP seems to be wearing their "walking shoes."[/quote] Pwned. I wear a pair of skate shoes. They're like $40 which sort of sucks. I didn't know it until I saw the commercial, but they were the shoes that Stev-o's been drinking milk out of and advertising non stop. So that's pretty cool. I also have a secondary pair of shoes. They are Vans which I learned pretty damn quick, suck. The shoes still function and keep my feet dry. But the underside of the shoe has worn so much it's torn and come unglued or detached from the layer beneath it. I just drew all over them. On the inside of my left shoe I draw the sign for a local band.

[QUOTE=Esther][FONT=Trebuchet MS][COLOR=Blue][SIZE=1]Well, well, well. It looks as though BlueEyedAngel is going on Prussian Blue's official website and posting links to this site, and of course they're over there bashing us like crazy. So, BlueEyedAngel, why don't you stay on this message board and talk to us, instead of staying over there calling us: "dumb witted.." and "wannabe Asians"[/size][/COLOR][/FONT][/QUOTE] [size=1]BlueEyedAngel. If this is indeed true, why don't you say it to our face. We've respected your position for the most part and yet, from what my fellow Esther is saying, you're not respecting ours. So. Is this thread really a place for you to get material for your friends over on the prussian blue site? If so, why are you even here. You know you can't convince those of us opposed to your position. Now to return to the topic at hand. I plan on watching this, since I missed the special on primetime about them although I don't expect to see much of anything I haven't researched. I'd like to see them talk about their views though which would be interesting. See if I can detect any faltering in their position, which, at least to me, would be hilarious.[/size]

[quote name='Deathknight][color=crimson']Their treatment of races other than their own has a history of being extremely poor, especially during that period of time.[/color][/quote] [size=1]Is this the government you're talking about or the population in general? I understand and agree that there's been a negetive attitude towards outsiders, in Japan a very long time. However, I have associated myself with a few good folks in Japan over the internet and they seem somewhat distraught over the fact that the government has created this aura of hatred towards people who enter their country. [/size]

[quote name='ChibiHorseWomen][color=#9933ff][font=lucida calligraphy]Diminsih voluntarily? What the... last I checked white people were not on the endangered species list. What's really funny now that I keep reading this is that all my white friends have children or are having babies (aside from two and one for obvious reasons) and my 'minority' friends don't. So I really believe you're wrong on that account.[/color'][/font][/quote] [size=1]What I think he meant by that statement is that the race of white's is sucumbing to crossbreeding with the other races. According to many white supremecists, the white folk are dying out due to an increase in people of different races breeding together. The disgusting fact I pointed out earlier is that the people of other races are dying out as well. [u]It's not just white's reproducing with other races[/u]. It's all races, reproducing with all races. So in reality, this same argument could be applied to asians or blacks having children with other races. We could reverse it and say that black people are voluntarilly diminishing as well. I tried to use the metaphor of mixing colors on paper earlier but I don't think it was effective. Take the color white and mix it with black, and you get gray, not black, not white. The white supremists look at gray and say black and instantly put gray in with black, when in reality gray is it's own color, derived from two other colors. That leads back to the argument here, about saving the white race. It just sickens me to think that people can stereotype people for their skin, when it's the person on the inside that matters. I don't care how "gay" that sounds, it's the truth. Stereotypes are used simply to group everyone together so you can be lazy and say everyone is like: this, this, and this and I hate them. As for you BlueEyedAngel. I don't care how many people of different races you've met and how many have treated you bad enough to make you say that you're more comfortable with your own "kin" as you called it. You're using a stereotype and I'm going to assume you know how dangerous it can be to act upon a stereotype.[/size]

[size=1]Lolz. I do backyard wrestling. Not like the stuff you see in the underground backyard wrestling league's where you get hit with chairs. And definetly not like ECW. We just do some petty wrestling. I love it though cuzz it's really fast paced and strategic. We have a little league with about nine people. Most of the time it's just my friends Ky and Colin and I are wrestling, but there are rare occasions when we can get one or more of the other six to come wrestling. I also mosh, if you consider that a sport. It's fun, but the effects are practically worthy of being called a hangover.[/size]

[quote name='BlueEyedAngel']Out of curiosity, what do you think Japan would be like if it embraced multi-culturalism?[/quote] Probably just like America is now, except of course they've got cool phones and jet packs.... ;)

[quote name='blueyedangel']I should mention that racism and separatism are not a white phenominom. Take Israel for example. Not all the terrorists are Muslims[/quote] Thank you for clarifying my point a ways back. I guess you would also agree that those white men and women in the Army of God are terrorists and that Timothy Mcveigh is a terrorist. [quote name='blueyedangel']The Israelis basically kicked the Palestians off their land to make way for the "chosen people".[/quote] Yes, but after you move the Palastinians back to their "chosen land" than what are you planning on doing with the Israeli's? Dumping them in the water? [quote name='blueeyedangel']What about the Native American reservations in the US? Isn't that a form of separatism? It is indeed, but I respect the Native American right to preserve their own race and culture.[/quote] Our ancestors forced the Native Americans into camps. And yes, it's a form of seperatism, but in the white people's favor. But yes, thank you for respecting their right to preserve their own race and culture. [quote name='blueeyedangel']I should also point out, since we're all anime fans...[/quote] I'm not an anime fan. The last time I watched it was in my freshmen year when DragonBall Z ended on Cartoon Network. [quote name='blueeyedangel']Japan is far from being multicultural. The population of Japan is 99.3% ethnic Japanese. This is no coinsidence. The Japanese are fiercly nationalistic. Their immigration system favors immigrants of there own ethnic stock. It's ok for the Japanese to do this, but if white people did this it would be "racist". Did you know that Israel has a "Jew only" immigration policy. Did you know that Saudi Arabia has a "Muslim only" immigration policy?[/quote] I agree with you at the point where you say when it's white people it's called racist but when it's japanese it's ok. But on the other hand, just because someone else is being racist doesn't make it right for us. Life isn't all about 'doing unto others as you would have done unto you' anymore. It's about not following bad examples. [quote name='blueeyedangel']In history there have been many races and tribes that have diminished. But whites hold a unique place in history; they are the first race to diminish voluntarily.[/quote] No actually not really. What you're saying is that the white people are a colorless in a way. Like a blank sheet of paper. I'll say this. All races are dying as well because they're mixing with each other. Each race is a blank sheet of paper, not just white's like you made it sound. [quote name='blueeyedangel']Did you know that the average IQ for Asians is 120; for whites,100; for blacks, 80? That's not a racist remard, that's statistics. If you disagree with me, I encourage you do do your own research on the correlation between race and IQ. I believe my IQ is about 124.[/quote] This is a common argument I see on the Prussian Blue forums. The only difference between your argument is you're a bit more generous. The same people who share your beliefs, are literally calling all other races dumb as a rock.

[size=1]I remember the case as well from my childhood. To me though, it was just another news article, nothing special, other than it got more press than other articles. Now that I'm seeing it all open up again, I'm slightly amused. As for I as I can deduct, the mother had much more of a chance of killing her daughter than Karr did. However, I think that there's a possibility he's covering for the Benet family. My theory, would suggest that she was killed her own mother for whatever reason. The father, may have known or not. It can work either way. They deny having commited the murder of their daughter, and continued on with life. The mother dies, and is conviently buried with her daughter which is seriously ironic if she is indeed the killer. The father, having discovered, or known all along that the mother was the killer, hires someone convincing (Karr) to take the fall and offically wipe the Benet's name clean. I'd say he did it for some sort of finanical purposes because we all know that in the financial world, the value of your name means alot. The only flaw is that what does Karr get in return for taking the fall. Unfortanatly for Mr. Benet, Karr isn't adding up. That or Karr is really T-1000 and was sent back in time to kill Ramsy.
