Goodbye, Face

[font=trebuchet ms]Well, my signature changes with each idea that crosses my mind, usually things relating to different bands. Right now it's Killwhitneydead, they had some awesome press pictures for their upcoming re-release of So Pretty So Plastic. I also used the lyrics of their song, "Save Your Sermons for Sunday so I Can Sleep This Night Off," for added effect, as well as a conveniant place to drop plugs for my various webpages. Oh, and there's the Baron Dance, ala John, Charles, myself a little, and finally Baron Samedi. :p[/font]

[font=trebuchet ms]The way the stylus is used reminds me of Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow. It looks like it's to solve puzzles and have a weapon (like the boomerang) based around it. I wonder how much of the buttons will be used and how hard it'll be to switch back and forth. Then again, I'm still new to the DS, I've had it since Christmas and haven't played too many games on it.[/font]

[font=trebuchet ms]Lan, we need to be friends, lol. Our tastes seem to be pretty even, so I'll list bands that Lan hasn't listed. These are all at the top of my list of favorites, as I can't say I listen to much that would be considered mainstream. I took out bands that had easily accessible videos, or any bands who have really caught on at my area. THese include The Bled, Every Time I Die, The Chariot, He is Legend, etc. Auditory Aphasia (...Other...) Bloodjinn (Metalcore) Christiansen (Hardcore Punk) Circle Takes the Square (Screamo) City of Caterpillar (Post-rock/Screamo) Ed Gein (Metalcore/Punk) Emberghost (Emo) Fear Before the March of Flames (Screamo) Flee the Seen (Punk/Emo) The Handshake Murders (Metalcore) iwouldsetmyselfonfireforyou (Post-rock/Screamo) Kaddisfly (Emo) Kylesa (Punk/Metal) Malady (Indie Rock) The Number Twelve Looks Like You (Hardcore) Pageninetynine, Pg. 99 (Screamo) Say Anything (Indie Rock) Suicide Silence (Metalcore) The Tony Danza Tapdance Extravaganza (Metalcore) Have fun with it. ^^ And for the record, I live in North Carolina.[/font]

[font=trebuchet ms]Earlier this month at Ohio University, a police officer found a bike parked on campus with a sticker from the punk band, This Bike Is A Pipe Bomb on it. The cop took it as a warning and the college, as well as some neighboring businesses were closed down and the bomb squad from hours away were called in to investigate it. Funny. Also, in Chicago there was this homeless man sleeping in a park. He woke up to being beaten by two teenagers, kicked in the stomach and stuff. They left and he was back to sleep eventually. He woke up and the same two guys were lighting his legs on fire and he fought them off and found the nearest cop to tell. Go, homeless dude![/font]

[font=trebuchet ms]Well, this movie is going to make some money off of me. Me and a few friends already plan on seeing it just to see how damn stupid it'll actually be, lol. What the heck was Jackson thinking, anyway? "Oh, I want to be in a movie where I can smack somebody across the face with a snake. It'll sell millions."[/font]

[font=trebuchet ms]Viva La Revolution is good. ^^ I haven't listened to The Adicts much in the past two years, I guess I should. I'm crazy for The Tony Danza Tapdance Extravaganza's "Cliff Burton Surprise." If you need to know about the band, they're a Southern Metalcore band similar to the old Norma Jean, but heavier. The song has nothing to do with the (shooting?) of the old Metallica member. However, I think the band tries to throw in as many references to older Southern Rock bands, as after the first few seconds of the song, they sneak in a part of GnR's "Sweet Child of Mine" before the music really picks up. After that it's just brutal, lol. If you're really interested, the song is on their Purevolume page.[/font]

[font=trebuchet ms]^^ Congrats, Roxie! I, myself, have gotten two artworks submitted to Scholastics. I've also come in third place in an art contest in my city, as well as 5th place in a poetry segment of the same contest. My fencing team made it to second in our county and went on to compete in a statewide tournament and got far in that, I forget how we ranked. We got to meet some fencing legends, it was a blast.[/font]

[font=trebuchet ms]Wow, it's quite awesome. Congrats to all who won. The graphics that went along with each numerated nifty were awesome, and many were very entertaining. ^^ One thing though. Didn't I say that quote about the Baron Dance and not Doukeshi? Sheesh.[/font] [indent][size=1][color=darkblue]Edited. My apologies. -Shy[/size][/color][/indent]

[font=trebuchet ms]Ok, I finally got a home network going, so I can now play you guys in MKDS (and eventually AC:WW)! My friend code is 025836 356243. Just track me down on AIM first. And I'm fairly sure I suck.[/font]

[font=trebuchet ms]MCR isn't emo. They're pop-punk, or powerpop, depends on who you ask. Means the same thing. Yes, their sound is common, but a lot of their songs just have that zing to them that makes them stand out, I guess. While I'm not a huge fan of them, I've certainly heard worse. I don't know why they're bashed like they are, for the genre and the marketing, they aren't bad. Helena is damn catchy, honestly. And if you like My Chemical Romance, you might want to try Christiansen or Kaddisfly. They're a lot better in my opinion, just harder to find.[/font]

[font=trebuchet ms]Well, I'd assume that you've heard of Tool? I'm pretty sure it's the same band just playing different music. I don't really remember whether it's just the singer or the whole band. I'm not a huge fan of APC for insignificant reasons.[/font]

[font=trebuchet ms]So Green Day sucks because they're emo? And emo sucks? XD Ziggy's funny. On to my favorites. [b]Circle Takes the Square:[/b] A four-piece progressive hardcore band from Savannah, GA. They have some beautiful music, and their dueling male and female vocals make the overall sound quite cool. Their music stretches the ability to be pretty and chaotic at the same time. Honestly, they are quite intimidating for one that doesn't listen to heavy music. I was intrigued by them at first and it eventually clicked with just how great they were. Their music is really technical, especially for just having one guitarist in their best album. Please check these guys out, lol. [b]Swift:[/b] These guys were the first band I saw live. They used to live a few minutes away from me, but two of the members had to move to New York for jobs and it caused the band to break up this year. Swift is somewhat of a Nu-Metal band, but that doesn't mean they're bad by any means. Gary Forsyth has this way of writing lyrics about himself that suit everyone else. Out of a 12 song cd, you'll find about ten songs that fit you perfectly. All four of their albums hold a dear place in my heart. [b]The Number Twelve Looks Like You:[/b] Another great progressive hardcore band that plays boodles of shows in my area. Their music is more technical than Circle's, but they don't appeal as much to me. If I described this band, they'd sound pretty bad, as they have two vocalist who just walk the stage screaming, haha. However, it's quite good. It's like The Mars Volta with breakdowns and much less singing. [b]Pageninetynine (or Pg. 99):[/b] I can't say too many good things about this band, as their creedo is that they can make as crappy music as they want, and it'll always be good because it contains passion. However, they were the first band of their type that I ever heard, and they paved the way for my current tastes to develop. They have a bit of Circle Takes the Square and a bit of The Casualties in them. They're fun to listen to, and a few of their songs are downright awesome, so they're likable to me. [b]Beloved:[/b] This is probably the best band I listen to. If you've heard of Classic Case, they used to share a guitarist with Beloved until Beloved broke up. They're a lot like Swift, but a bit more metallic and probably more heavy. They have one song that really appeals to me for certain reasons and it comes down to the fact that I heard them at just the right time. I've sent Beloved songs to friends from all different walks of life and they've had nothing bad to say about them. Worth a shot. [b]Apocalypse Hoboken:[/b] Tony rules for getting me into this band. And John. Anyways, they're a split-up punk band from Chicago. They sound different from song to song, and all of their cd's are completely different in sound. Sometimes, it's just fun to sit back and listen to some of their more humorous songs. AH just makes me happy. Maybe it's because an anagram for their name is "holy poop bean cakes." Other honorable mentions include Circa Survive, Still Remains, All That Remains, and The Tony Danza Tapdance Extravaganza.[/font]

[quote name='Retribution][size=1]I'm taking [a lot] more [social'] risks this year, as I realized that I don't want to look back 30 years from now wishing that I had asked some girl out, or maybe made friends with that one person. No regrets.[/size][/quote] [font=trebuchet ms]I am doing the same, Retri. I've changed so much last year, and even some this year. I don't want to be the quiet kid in the corner anymore. Anyways, I can only look forward to graduation, really. I already keep in touch with all of my friends, even the ones who moved to other states. I don't really feel like I would be leaving anything behind, and I have everything I could ever want right here. I still have another year until Graduation, so we'll see how I feel about it then.[/font]

[font=trebuchet ms]I listen to any type of music that allows for strong artistic expression. I can't deal with the same ol' "verse, chorus, verse, chorus, verse, solo, chorus" thing anymore, it's growing really stale. I like mix-ups, I like vocalists who have something to say, I like fast and technical instruments, and I don't care what those instruments are. One of my favorite genres is Hardcore, the good kind. Really, if you don't like hardcore, you've either not found the right band, or you get headaches too easily to enjoy them. Hardcore has recently turned into this fad where everyone and their grandma is starting a hardcore band with wimpy lyrics, nothing to say, and no talent. Hardcore bands should have force and be poetic at the same time, and there's a few dozen that are and I love them. Yay. I also love any kind of guitar-driven rock, anythign with a lot of technicality and complexity. Stuff that takes repeated listenes to fully comprehend. Mostly, Progressive Rock fits here. I like the way that the lyrics and guitars go together, I honestly just like the whole general sound of it. There's other genres I like, but I'm still exploring them. You know how it is.[/font]

[font=trebuchet ms]My triumphant return after a week of sickness and social life starts off with a post about me getting hurt... Just sayin'. I guess I'll go in chronological order. This didn't really hurt as much as it will sound. Basically, me and some friends got a box, two ramps, our skateboards, some firewood, starter fluid, some blankets, a cooler of ice water, and so forth. The plan was to set a box full of sticks on fire, set up the two ramps at a safe distance away from the box, and ollie over it on our skateboards. We had a few practice runs before it was lit, just to make sure we could all make it. Two of my friends went, then I went. I got some good speed, rode up the ramp and my skateboard went flying out from under me and I landed with both feet planted in the burning box. Then I got tackled, smothered with blankets, stomped on, and splashed with water. Fun. Another time I was on a date with my ex-girlfriend in Boone. I stepped on a water meter box, which is basically the same as a sewer plate. The edge that I stepped on came down into the box as did my right leg. The other edge came up as I fell in deeper and I got caught on it... guess where. I was hanging on my jewels for a good ten seconds until Emilie was able to pull me out. The sewer plate actually made a bad stretch mark on my leg that is still there today, lol. Next was last year at a fencing tournament. I was winning at 2-1 against this guy from another high school. The round begins, we mess around for a little bit, then he strikes, I parry his blade to my right and his tip catches my jacket and goes up my arm. I didn't really feel anything too bad, but the long line of blood going through my white fencing jacket was enough to make the judge stop the match and make me remove my jacket. I had a burn going up my arm about three feet long and with spots that were opened and bleeding. It didn't really hurt until I saw it, lol. Luckily, it didn't scar or anything. Yay for that.[/font]
