   Bad News, Guys.
Hey everyone. Well, I'll just jump into my week.

Monday, I kept trying to learn as much as humanly possible on "Funeral Of Carpathia". I got a few more of the riffs toned and made them sound a lot cleaner without distortion screeches in them. Also, I've just been playing a lot of the DBZ game to practice for my cousins. I know, i have no life. BIG NEWS! I've joined an RPG on Livejournal! Karen started an Outlaw Star/ Real World RPG and I got Harry MacDougall. And I'm happy to say that she got Melfina. Things are looking good with it.

Tuesday, I got more of the song toned for playing. Also, played more of the game. To fill space for this, I'm going to go on about AFO. I'm so excited that AFO is only a week and a day away!!! I can't wait to see what's gonna happen and there's so many events that I'm going to try to be in!! Also, I'm going to get to see a lot of my friends that I made in St. Augustine, especially the one I'm MOST EXCITED about seeing!!! ^_____^ KAREEEEEEEEEEEN!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm dying to get there.

Wednesday, the RPG started getting good. Right now, the Gene in the game is ALREADY on my nerves (but that's just because I hate Gene anyways. XD). Luckily, it should be getting better as more people move in. I finished "Carpathia" and now I wanna learn more epic songs! Also, my cousins got here yesterday and we played a lot of Budokai. We set the computer players level to very hard and been getting thrashed by them. But hey, it's good practice to hone our skills.

Today, I have to go to a doctor for an ..... examination. EW! I hate these people. Also, Randi's back from the keys and I get to have lessons again.

Well, I said bad news in the title of this because .... I'm pretty sure that IS gonna be my last month on MyO. I know, I know, go ahead and say I can't leave and stuff. I won't leave entirely, but I would HIGHLY cut back on posting and commenting. I'm just getting more and more used to LJ. It's eating all of my time away from MyO. And to be quite honest, my only two friends that I really know, Karen and her roommate, are on Livejournal so I still talk to them, and I talk to them MORE over there. I just don't see a reason to stay here. Nobody takes my recommendations of music seriously (Or even gives them a shot in my opinion.) and frankly, I find it very hard to convert people who are MCR fans or who think Cradle Of Filth's best song is the "Nymphetamine (Fix)". The (fix) is the stupid version!! Old Cradle's the good shit! Sorry for ranting, but I'm pretty serious about it this time.

Well, the video this time is an AMV I found yesterday of all the Dragonball Z good guys getting the crap kicked out them! XDDD It's also set to It Dies Today, which is awesome!



Hope that gets some hits. It needs to, seeing as how it rules.

Okay, since I am on high alert on my Rant-o-meter, I'm sure to take some heat when I say this. I. DON'T. LIKE. EMO PEOPLE!!!! Emos are not fun to be around. If you are emo, you pretty much just sit in the corner with your Hawthorne Heights albums (which HH are good, but not ALL THE TIME!) and cry about heartbreak. Which is why, I am breaking away from black metal week once again to play this video!!! It's Cannibal Corpse with "Make Them Suffer" off the new album "Kill". Why am I playing this video? Notice the emo boy in it with the cuts and wounds trying to get out of the locked room to prevent his invevitable torture? MWHAHAHA!!!! Oh yeah. My recent attitude may or may not have something to do with the fact that I'm listening to LOTS more death and traditional black metal. Cannibal Corpse, Death, Sodom, Slayer, Satyricon, Venom, Lamb Of God, stuff like that. I need to play DBZ and blow off some steam. I will say that CC's bassist is insne at playing that thing. ^_^ Try these guys out. They're good for just getting in the competition mode.

Cannibal Corpse - Make Them Suffer



This week's question: At the moment, what's one song that you're really liking a lot?

Last week's question: I feel very strongly about metal all of the time. A lot of other people think it's a joke. They suck.

Oh, and thanks for the well wishes for my cousin to anyone who read that. He's still got an infection, but they're treating it now and hopefully it'll be gone soon. Well, I gotta go now. Take care and stay (sic).

   Yeah! There's Gonna Be FIVE Videos In This Post!!!!
Hey guys! Guess what? I have the house to myself again this morning and am taking the opportunity to dress up in my Katan suit! So this will be my first cosplaying post! XD Well, let's get started.

Thursday, me and my cousins did thd DBZ tournament. I didn't win. I lost to "Goku" who was playing as Janemba. He went on to win the whole tournament. But, I will not sit here and weep. Congratulations to him. ^^ Also, I got "Goku" to sit down and watch Angel Sanctuary. THAT was not a good idea. >< He got CREEPED OUT Halfway through the first episode and RAN out of the room. Ugh! Good news for that day was that I learned another song. I learned "In Place Of Hope" by Still Remains. I happen to think it rules.

Friday, I sent the e-mail to Thorn Promotions, the company that e-mailed me about promoting Angel Sanctuary, and once I put vocals on this song, it'll be ready to be sent out!!! I'm so excited! ^__^ I only have less than two weeks though, so I need to hurry. Also, I found out this day that "Goku's" brother, who we'll call "Gandalf" cause he likes LOTR, has a staff infection in his foot. In case you don't know what thta is, it's when bacteria gets in your body and mutates. If it gets bad enough, it could kill him. So please be praying for him. Also, I didn't know which epic, long song I should learn, so I left it to Karen who chose Cradle Of Filth's "Funeral In Carpathia" to learn. ^^ She picks the best.

Saturday, I spent the day trying to learn "Funeral". That is such a hard song cause of those riffs. You're good if you can play that song. Whew. OH! And I am now sickened with a certain band. >___< On Headbangers Ball, I saw this band cover a song that another band had already covered no less than 9 months ago. That's an insanely short amount of time for two bands to cover the same song. Okay, I'm pretty sure that you all know who Depeche Mode is. Well, 9 months ago, It Dies Today covered thier song "Enjoy The Silence". Well, this Saturday, I see that Lacune Coil have covered "Enjoy The Silence as well, and did not do a good job with it. They extended the song by a full minute to make it seem better, but it just sucks. There's not even a lead guitar in it! They put the lead guitar into a keyboard sound .... AND THERE'S NO KEYBOARD PLAYER IN THE BAND!!!! WTF!??!?! o________O Okay, I'll let you judge which one is best.

It Dies Today - Enjoy The Silence (the better one!)



Lacuna Coil - Enjoy The Silence (the lamer one!)



Sunday, I still learned more of "Funeral" and think I have it down. It still may seem quite choppy, but I think the solo is down well. Not to mention, I ignored the rhythm entirely to learn the lead like I do. ^_^

Today, my Grandma had to go to the doctor for an appoinment, which leaves me cosplaying and I have the house to myself! I can't wait for AFO!!! It's LESS then two weeks away!!! ^___________^

Okay, this one I spent a LOOOONG time searching for. My FAVORITE Jackass stunt!!!! XDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD



I don't know why, but I can't stop watching this! XDDD

Okay, I know I'm only supposed to be playing black metal videos this month, but I want to play you something really cool that I saw. I swear, if Cradle Of Filth ever break up, THIS will be my new favorite band!!! It's power metal band Cellador with "Leaving All Behind" off their album "Leaving All Behind". I swear, i wish I could play guitar like these guys in this band. They are so fast and those solos defy comprehension!!!! Also, that singers voice is so kick ass! ^_^ Cellador FOREVER!!!!

Cellador - Leaving All Behind



This week's question: Is there something that you've felt very strongly about that someone else did not?

Last week's question: I would do one of those skits, whether they were scripted or inprovised. I LOVE improv!

Well, I'll see you guys later on Thursday when Randi gets back from the Keys. Til next time, stay (sic).

P.S. This is for all of those out there who like this. Our prayers have been answered. ^____________^



MWHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!! XDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD

   I Didn't Break Up With Something This Time! XDD
Hey everyone! Something tells me you're going to get a LOT of videos this post. How's it been? Well, how's my week been, you ask? It's been like this.

Monday, I got some more playing time in on my Dragonball Z game to help out my cousins. I've gaotten a lot of stuff so far in this game. ^_^ Also, I worked on my Shigure some more. I sewed the other piece of fabric to the interfacing and then sewed the fronts, backs, and sleeves together. It actually looked pretty good to wear like that. ^_^ Kimonos are easy!!! Also on Monday, I learned the As I Lay Dying song "Empty Hearts". Brutal riffs of doom anyone?! ^__~

Tuesday, I played LOTS more of the game and found out how to get the other characters! ^___^ That's been lots of fun playing with Baby Vegeta, my new favorite character!!! Also, I sewed the interfacing trim to the kimono and hemmed it up everywhere except on one sleeve.

Wednesday, my cousins came here to visit and we diecided to give my new characters a test drive! We've been having a lot of fun trying them out. Also, it rained like crazy yesterday. It was cloudy all day, which I like. I got an e-mail on me and Karen's band MySpace from a promotion company wanting to know if I could send them a song to put on a compilation disc for distribution at big name concerts like Unearth!! I'm so gonna agree to it, but I have to send it in before August 4th! So I need to hurry and finish my song. I finally got the last sleeve hemmed and I sewed the sash and got velcro on it. My cousin "Goku" helped me out by wearing it and letting me trim off any loose strings on it. Then, last night, me and my cousins decided to make a super touney list to see who is the best character in the game. 90 CHARACTERS GOING AT IT!!!! WOOOOOOT!!!!!!!!! That will take up some time today. XDD

Today, I have no lesson with Randi because she's in the Keys. So today I'm just gonna chill and try to learn some songs and do this tourney. I'm in it as Baby Vegeta. Wish me luck. AND AFO IS IN TWO WEEKS!!!!! I'M GOING CRAZY TO SEE KAREN!!!!! I'LL BE SURE TO GET PICTURES FOR YOU GUYS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ^_______________________^ *GLOMPLES KAREN*

Okay, I don't have a poem ready for today, but I do have a funny video. I found this on my friend, Diana's, livejournal (In case you're wondering, this is the Diana that knows Karen.). It's of the Anime Dating Game at Anime Boston 2006. This is so funny and I loved it. Diana is Tohru Honda from Fruits Basket and has to choose from Sasuke for Naruto, Sanji from One Piece, or Spike Spiegal from Cowboy Bebob. I so want to be in a skit at an Anime Convention!!



Sasuke is so angsty!! XDDDDDDDDDDD But this is very well put together and it was funny so I loved it. Check it out.

Okay, I have two videos for you today, but they go back to back so it's cool. The songs today are Cradle Of Filth's "Ebony Dressed For Sunset" and my FAVORITE CRADLE OF FILTH SONG "The Forest Whispers My Name" off the album "V Empire Or Dark FaeryTales In Phallustein". The ABSOLUELTY BEST PART of the songs is in Forest after the keyboard solo in the middle when the war guitars kick in. I love these songs so much and I know you guys will get a kick out of them. This is Cradle in their prime!!! They destroy!!!

Cradle Of Filth - Ebony Dressed For Sunset



Cradle Of Filth - The Forest Whispers My Name



This week's question: Would you enter an anime skit at a convention if you could?

Well, I gotta go. I'll check back in on Monday and give you guys an update on how things are going. Til then, stay (sic).

   Weddings, You And Me Are Through!! And Yes, I Broke Up With Weddings And Wal-Mart In One Week. XDD
Okay, I am obvoiusly having some angsty moments lately. I'll explain.

Okay, Thursday, I had the fabric for my Shigure costume finally so I wahed it first before i started cutting it out. Yes, I remembered. After that, I got a lot of it cut out that day, but not all of the pieces, so I had some more to do tomorrow. I played some more of the DBZ game and used the strategy guide I got to help get a lot more characters. After that, I went to Randi's. I seem to be doing fairly well and we had a good time just goofing around like we usually do. Sadly though, she's not gonna be here this week. She's going to a wedding in the Keys and I'm gonna be without lessons this week. Oh well, more time to practice.

Friday, I got to cut out the last pieces to the fabric and cut out the interfacing pieces. All I got done though was sewing one piece of the fabric to the interfacing. T__T I did work some more on the game for my cousins, but I didn't get far in that either. I did learn two new songs that day. I learned "Filthy Little Secret" by Cradle Of Filth and I learned "A Thousand Steps" by As I Lay Dying. They rock.

Saturday, I did NOTHING except play my game and play my guitar. I learned "My Promise" by It Dies Today, which does have the greatest breakdown of all time. Don't fight it, people. It does have that good of a breakdown. Also, I have AWESOME news!!!! Cradle Of Filth got their keyboardist!!!! Rosie Smith will now be taking over the position held by such greats as Benjamin, Damien, Lecter, and Martin. And believe me, the bend looks like thier ready to destroy now. ^__^


From left to right: Dave Pybus (Bass), Rosie Smith (Keyboards), Charles Hedger (Guitar and deviantly sexy blonde XD), Adrian Erlandsson (Drums), Dani Filth (Vocals), Paul Allender (Guitar God), Sarah Jezebel Deva (Backing Vocals)


Then we had to go to the wedding. Well, we had to go to this church first and have a dinner thing with my family. BLECH! I did have some food and some cake, which ruled. CAKE! Then we went down to the beach for the wedding, which took forever to happen! I spent most of the time hugging on my mom asking when would this thing be over or hanging out with my cousins and talking to them. After it was FINALLY over at 9:00 P.M., we went and got tacos and called it a night, thank God!!!

Sunday, I didn't really do much in terms of constructiveness except I took the little silver buckles for the Katan suit and velcroed them onto the suit, so now my Katan is finished and done!! Now all I have to do is finish my Shigure for AFO and I'll be ready.

This week, I'm just gonna sew and playon my guitar some more again. Oh, and my mom's birthday is tomorrow so you all should wish her a Happy Birthday. ^^

Okay, I'm gonna do another poem because I got some good feedback on it last time. I know that this one doesn't rhyme, but it's not supposed to. It's supposed to be like Dimmu Borgir or something like that. And this poem is very angsty. XD Here we go.


Take these words to heart,
Right through your black, chilled heart.
Take my advice for granted,
Don't ever hold it close.
For these words could never apply
To one so retributional as you.
My suffering thou seeks
And it you have recieved 1,000 times.

Take these motes I give you;
Write them on the wall in your blood.
Understand and understand well,
For if you don't, then you sure as hell should.

Ice so cold, you cannot feel.
Fire so bright, you cannot see.
Is this what It'll be like when you see me?
I hope not. I hope your fate's much worse.
Clawing my way through the thickest fog,
I hunt like lionness on prowl.
Your fate the same as sinner, my sweet,
You too shall burn in godless hell.

My penchant for being cryptic
Just found it's next set of lyrics.

Maybe I shall rise again
From the ashes of your scorn.
To meet a fiery, snow white goddes,
Instead of a poison-hearted queen.
Judgement shall run over you
Like fate over accursed Eden
Let it be known of the horror you take.
Let it be known of the horror you bring.

This is no longer your choice to make,
Fate has come for me to claim what's mine.
Once you hear the symphonic orchestal sirens cry
That, O deciever, shall be your last sign.


Okay, that's it. Please give me your reviews and comments. I love hearing from you guys about them.

Alright, I'm SOOOOO excited to be playing this song this time!!! It's HIM with "Killing Loneliness" of their new album "Dark Light". Now, I know that HIM are NOWHERE CLOSE to black metal, since I'm playing balc metal this month, but apparently Ville Valo is going to be on the new Cradle Of Filth album, so that means they qualify. XD I swear, this song speaks to me so much. I LOVE it!!!! It has this beautiful vibe to it and it just rules. Try it out and I'm sure that you'd like it.

HIM - Killing Lonliness



Okay now to answer the only question I got last week.

NarutoBlackmail asks: Which would you rather be, a zombie or a vampire and why?

Answer: A vampire cause vamps are in tune to balck metal anyway.

This week's question: I have a tendancy to ask back what you ask me, so, which would you rather be, a zombie or a vampire and why?

Well, I'm a go now. You all take care and I'll be back on Thursday to let you know what going on. Stay (sic).

   Wal-Mart, You And Me Are Through!!! XD
Sounds like I'm in a relationship with Wal-Mart, huh? XDDD Well, I'm not! I'm not like Randy Marsh on that South Park episode! XDDDD Anyways, my week sucked so much that you're pretty much gonna get an explination of what happened yesterday, cause it deserves that much detail.

Tuesday, though, I did play the One Piece game with my cousin's which I did get the hang of and became a threat at. ^_~ During a break, I went to go cut out the rest of the fabric for Shigure, when I realized two BAD things. (1) I had not place fabric in the right strategical place to cut it and therefore didn;t have enough fabric to cut the arm sleeves with. (2) I hadn't washed my fabric before I started cutting. So yeah, that means I had to get more fabric.

Wednesday, me and my cousins play more of the One piece game. During my breaks in this tournament style battle, I grabbed my guitar and learned "Born In A Burial Gown" by Cradle Of Filth! Played a little more before I went and put the glaze on the buckles for my Katan suit. They're dry now, btw.

Later in the day, when they were about to go outside, I plugged in my PS2 and got it to play DBZ Budokai Tenkachi! It hadn't really been playing that game a few weeks ago so I was glad that I got it to work. Well, obviously we started playing it like crazy. Right after I got off the phone with Karen, my mom gets here, which means I begged her to go to Wal-Mart so that I could get more fabric. After some consideration, she said okay.

On the way there, I got to read half of Angel Sanctuary Vol. 12. IT RULES!!! Once I got there, I immediately looked for the fabric I needed, which they didn't have, but they did have this sweet looking, silky fabric that was close enough to it in color. So, I decided to get four yards of it and remake it with this. Well, NO ONE came to cut it for me!!! And I mean NO ONE!! So, while waiting, I went and grabbed the DBZ stategy guide for the game above (I need the extra characters. XD). Well, after about 30 minutes, they send the asistant manager out to cut fabric for everyone. >___< Not the most fabrically-inclined person. That took forever. Then when I went to self-checkout to pay, it wouldn't give me my change back!!! >______________< So, I had to wait to get my change from this attendant. And yeah, that's my story.

Today, I'm gonna try to finish most of this song before my cousins come back. Also, as always, I have guitar lessons with Randi. This is gonna be my last lesson with Randi before she heads to a wedding in the Keys next week. Seems like a lot of us are going to weddings, huh? XD Oh yeah! And the wedding I'm going to is this Saturday, so woot!

Okay, get ready for a shocker. For the first time in forever .... I HAVE A POEM FOR YOU GUYS!!!!! In case you're new and don't know what's going on, I used to post poems to test my lyrical skills. And if this one sounds SUPER CREEPY, it's cause I listened to a lot of black metal while writing and I wanted to make something as creepy without holding back anything. So, um, yeah. Tell me what you think! ^^""


Crimson stars and a viole(n)t fog
Taint a scythe-shaped moon.
And a rotten limb with digits missing
Twitches in the region of the Gemini's view.

They couldn't see the horror to be,
As the marked one rose from a shallow grave.

6 feet long, 6 feet wide, and 6 feet deep,
No longer in this hole will the (un)holy prophet sleep.
To gain vengence for a widow whom he never knew weeped.
(But he knew once he died that she cried inside.)

Twisting in confusion of misanthropy
He opened sockets to let air into where he once could see,
But all he did was hear shrill screams of she.
(Found in her coffin where she tried to hide.)

The damned now recieve
Great pleasure with their treasure.

Laid out in splendor like a victory feast
Stripped of her grace and all else.
The resurrected soldier raced to keep a promise that he told her
So that he would rejoin earth and dust.

Crying like sinner in repentance,
She saw mongers raise daggers past thier heads.
To insert into whereabouts which should never be said
With glares upon their faces. "Now bleed for us!"

Entering in the tomb with a lustfilled smile,
Her lover sent her to the underworld.
Surrounded by the graves of those who tried to do her harm
To a place far worse they were hurled.

"I kept my promise to you, my angel,"
He muttered with her hands in his grasp.
"You were my first, you were my last,
You were my only, and I am yours with one last gasp."


And yes, for the first time in forever, I have done a poem. I love getting reviews from you guys about these poems so tell me what you think. ^___^

Okay, if you'll remember the last post, I said that I had seen this super awesome, cool, insanely good video that I loved like crazy. Well, here it is!!! It's a LIVE video of Cradle Of Filth from the Download Festival in England doing "Medusa & Hemlock" off their "Nymphetamine" album and "Born In A Burial Gown" off "Bitter Sweets To Succubi". This is the first live video I've ever seen featuring their new guitarist Charles Hedger, the deviantly sexy blonde (And I MUST call him that because that's what Dani said his position in the band is. XDD). Also, this video features their touring keyboardist, Rosie. She's not a PERMANENT member of the band, but I think she'd do an excellent job. All in all, Cradle still bring thhe pain and the mosh to their shows and prove it here. Watch this video and be blown away!

Cradle Of Filth - Medusa & Hemlock and Born in A Burial Gown (LIVE)



This week's question: Ask me something. I love answering anything you guys can throw at me.

Last week's question: For 4th of July weekend, I apparently found out that I didn't have enough fabric for my Shigure.

Well, that's my time guys. I'll catch up with you all on Monday and hopefully have some pics from the wedding. See ya then and stay (sic).

   Happy Fourth Of July, Everyone!
Hey guys! HAPPY 4TH OF JULY!!! *pops fireworks* I hope you all have a good holiday weekend over the next two days.

And yes, as I've been stressing for the last week, please keep praying for Karen's finger! ^_^ From what she's told me, it's doing a lot better, but it's still healing so please keep praying for her if you will. We're all looking out for you, Karen!!! *HANDS CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIE SANDWICH*

Okay, Thursday I went with my grandma to Savannah to go look for the Gospel Of Filth after we went to her doctors appointment. Well, when we got to Barnes & Noble, I couldn't find the book. I asked the girl working there if they had it and when she looked it up she said that it was supposed to come out today but that the publisher had not released it as of yet. So we went to Books-A-Million and I got the same response. Then I went to the new mall and went in Waldenbooks where I used my cool discount to get Vol. 7 through 10 of Angel Sanctuary. And Randi's that night, I had a good lesson, though I do have some practicing to do. ^^

Friday, I found out that my mom set me up for an eye doctor checkup in Svannah, so I had to go back. >__< Luckily, I had my iPod and my Angel Sanctuarys to pass time. I read all of themexcept the last chapter in book 10 on my way there and on the way back. Also, when I got back, I learned As I Lay Dying's "Undefined" on my guitar. That night, I also shaped the buckles to my Katan suit out of model magic and let them dry over night.

Saturday, my mom says that she's going to Savannah again, and since I was running out of Angel Sanctuarys, I went! ^_^ We went to Barnes & Noble where I got AS Vol. 11 - 14. Then, I went to F.Y.E. where I got the new Revolver magazine! THE UNHOLY ALLIANCE TOUR!!!! LAMB OF GOD!!!! Sorry, I got excited. XDD After that, me and mom figured out what we could do for my Katan earring. We bought these little clip-on ones at a Belks and I got these cross earrings at Hot Topic and we slipped the hook for the cross ones through this hole in the clip-ons. ^_^ Also at HT, I bought a Cradle Of Filth patch that I'm gonna sew onto my black jeans. FILTH!!!!!! That's neccasary. XD Then, after lunch at Olive Garden, we went to Hancock's where I got the Shigure stuff. Then we went to the Savannah Mall where I got silver paint and a nice treat.

Yesterday, I spent some time alone to paint my Katan buckles. Also, I got some time to partially cut out my Shigure costume. I didn't get all of it cut out but I will get back to it as soon as possible. I also found out that the Cradle book will now be released on Halloween. Makes sense. XDD Also, I found something on YouTube so good, so mindblowing, that it made me go insane with happiness!!!! But you'll have to wait til Thursday to see that. ^^ It's a surprise!

Okay, I have something VERY unusual for you guys today!

http://www.ebaumsworld.com/crazyguy.html

Go to that link and watch that! XDD I'll give you $100, no $1,000 if you can understand one complete sentence that that guy says other than "You understand what I'm saying?" XD And no, that's not staged. That's real!!! O_O He had to be OUT. OF. HIS. ...... MIIIIIIIIND!!!!!!!!!!!! Me and my cousin Brett found that years ago and we could not stop laughing at that dude. XDDDD

Okay, well it seems that the vote is in and black metal has won. So, the video this time will be the Band Of The Month! It's Dimmu Borgir with "Progenies Of The Graet Apocalypse" off their album "Death Cult Armageddon". This video epitomizes darkness and evil, and for some reason this video got voted the fourth best metal video of the new millenium a few years ago. XD But yes, nice vid so check it out. Also, there is a censored and uncensored version of this video, so I've put both up here for you. Warning! The uncensored vid has nudity, distubing psuedo-religious images, and WAAAAAAAY too much blood. XDD Enjoy!

Dimmu Borgir - Progenies Of The Great Apocalypse (Censored Version)



Dimmu Borgir - Progenies Of The Graet Apocalypse (Uncensored Version)



With that, it's time for a new Band Of The Month, this month's being Dimmu Borgir! Dimmu Borgir in American means "Dark Fortress". Dimmu hail from Norway and are very accepted in the metal community as one of the heaviest acts in the industry, despite their melodic qualities. After starting out in the underground scene, they have finally broken through to a mainstream audience, thanks to tours alongside bands such as Cradle Of Filth and festivals such as Ozzfest. The current lineup is as follows:
Shagrath - Vocals
Silenoz - Guitar
Galder - Lead guitar
Vortex - Bass & Opera Vocals
Mustis - Keyboards
As of lately, they haven't had a drummer. They recently had Nicholas Barker, the former Cradle Of Filth drummer do the "Death Cult Armegeddon" album, but recently they have had Mayhem's Hellhammer take over drumming for the reissue of "Stormblast" and Hellhammer will be on their new album as well. Their albums so far are:
For All Tid - 1995
Stormblast - 1996
Devil's Path - 1996
Enthrone Darkness Triumphant - 1997
Godless Savage Garden - 1998
Spiritual Black Dimensions - 1999
Puritanical Euphoric Misanthropia - 2001
Death Cult Armageddon - 2003
Stormblast (Re-recorded) - 2005
Check em out. I think you might like them.

This week's question: What are your plans for this 4th of July?

Last week's question: I voted black metal! ^_^

Well, I'll see you guys on Thursday. I hope you all continue to pray for Karen's finger!! PLEASE DO THAT!!!! *HUGS KAREN* We all love you!! Well, I have to go now. Ta ta and stay (sic).

   It's "Black" In That It's Full Of Evil And Darkness!!!!
XDDD That title is taken from one of my favorite scenes in the Atreyu dvd that came with their new album. But I'll explain what it means later. First ...

I hope all of you are still praying for Karen's finger like I asked! From what she's told me, it's doing a lot better, but it still isn't completely healed yet. T___T So, keep praying for her, please!!! She needs her finger! Oh, and here you go, K-chan!! *HANDS LARGE, CHOCOLATE "GET WELL SOON" CAKE WITH ICING* ^__________^ And yes, I made you a get well soon cake!!! *HUGGLE GLOMP*

Okay. Monday, I didn't really do much except play this game because I told "Goku" that I'd build up the stats to his created character to max. I think he wants and NEEDS a better shot. ^^ After that, while I was eating lunch, one of the fillings in my mouth came out! IT CAME OUT!! So, that wasn't hot. Then, I got some EXCELLENT news! I got a package from Karen!!! It was my Katan wig and the bow for my Harry costume!!! ^________________^ Karen is the best!!!!!!! *HUGS KAREN* Also, I got the little silver thingies on my Katan suit with some super glue. I'll tell you how that imploded in a few paragraphs.

Tuesday, I found out that my mom set up an appointment with my dentist to get my filling put back in, so I had to go there to get it put in. Of course, I hated having to get that shot. >_< At least I had the novocane or whatever it is so that I couldn't feel anything. Also, I had my two Angel Sanctuary mangas that I read or the way there and coming back. Now I need more! XD Once back, I learned an It Dies Today song, FINALLY!!!!! I learned "Freak Gasoline Fight Accident" cause of it's brain splitting breakdown!! XD

Wednesday, still worked on the game for my cousin. I then got ANOTHER package from Karen!!!!!! ^______^ Sorry if I'm so happy, but I like being happy!!!! It was a wig cap, seeing as how I have WAY to much hair to fit in a wig normally!!!! You're the best, Karen!! *GLOMPS KAREN* Thank you for all of this!!! Then, when I went to try it on, which it fits, I noticed that the silver thingies on my Katan suit were coming off. So I have to think up something new for that. Also, I learned THREE songs in ONE DAY!!! (I didn't get to play one for you yesterday, Karen. I'm sorry! T_T) I learned "Losing Sight" by As I Lay Dying, "We Stand Up" by Atreyu, and "The Worst Is Yet To Come" by Still Remains. I'm finding all these songs I've been looking for and it rules!!!!

Well, today I'm hitching a ride to Savannah with my grandparents to go look for "The Gospel Of Filth" book, written by Dani Filth!! WOOT!!! Also, I have Randi tonight, so wish me luck! Also, I found out I'm going to a beach wedding!! My mom's cousin or uncle (I forgot) is getting married and I might try to get some shots for you guys of me and my fun loving cousins going mental. XDDD

Okay, for funny videos this time, I figure that I should show some class and play .... MORE DANE COOK!!! XDD MWHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!



He is teh best!!!!!

Okay, for the end of the month, I have to play the Band Of The Month again! It's It Dies Today with "The Requiem For Broken Hearts" off their EP "Forever Scorned". The sound may be a little cruddy with it, but it's good anyways. I love ITD and I hope you like this one, too. And believe me ... THAT is a BREAKDOWN!!!!!!!! ^_______________^

It Dies Today - The Requiem For Broken Hearts



This week's question: Which style of music should I play for next month?
Math-core
Black metal
Speed and Power metal
And PLEASE, even if you don't like metal, just vote. I'd like to get a few responses.

Last week's question: I'd dye my hair black, or dark purple.

Well, I gotta go to Savannah now. I'll be back on Monday with some more good stories for you. And don't forget to pray for Karen's finger or, well that's just mean. PRAY FOR HER!!!!1 (XDD There's a one!) Til next time, stay (sic).

   I'M DONE!!!!! I'M FINALLY F***ING DONE!!!!!!! MWHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!
Oh, hey! Um, excuse the maniacal laughter above. I'll explain. But first ...

I just found out yesterday that Karen sustained a, um, painful injury to her finger that HONESTLY creeped me out when I found out what had happened to her poor finger. T______T She's doing much better, thank goodness, but I was just wondering if you guys could pray for her and make sure that she has a quick recovery. I don't want to go too much into detail because I don't know if K-chan would want me doing that. But still, pray for her and hope that she heals quickly. I'm at least praying for you, Karen!!! *HUGGLES AND HANDS CHEESY NACHOS* ^_^

Okay, ALSO, I want to apologize for the monster rant I left in the last post. You guys didn't deserve that and I think I was just going through a lot of stress with stuff happening around here. So, I have a treat for you guys a little later in the post. ^^ Anyways, I'm sorry guys! *HUGS AND HANDS POCKY* So, now to the post.

Thursday, my evil, satanic cousin got there just before I woke up, so that put me in a bad mood from the start. After posting, I came down to try and help debug my PS2 with my cousins since it really hasn't been played since February. After some game time once we fixed it, I went to finish the tubes to the bodysuit. I sewed the rest of the cloth into a tube and fixed it around the wire skeleton. Afterwards, I stuffed it with random bits of foam and hand sewed the ends. Also, I learned a new song in less than 5-8 minutes. I learned Bury Your Dead's "Top Gun", which is sweet.

That night at Randi's I played "Top Gun" for her, for which I got complemented for being able to learn songs so fast and with such ease. That made me feel happy. ^_^ Also, Randi got totally creeped out by my demon ring. XD She was telling me to, like, take it off cause she has a fear of like demons and stuff like that. o_O Whoa! Total shocker.

Friday, I got the velcro attached to the ends of the tubes and bent them how I wanted and then attached them. And now I can say this: I AM DONE WITH MY FIRST EVER COSPLAY!!!!! ^_______^ I'm so happy!! My Harry is done. Now, I'm not getting pictures just yet. I'm waiting for the ribbon which Karen was nice enough to ask to make for me. You're teh best! *HUGS* So, then I learned another song in EXACTLY 2 minutes, but it's super short so I knew it would be easy. It's Bury Your Dead's "Losin' It".

Saturday, not much happened. I went to Wal-Mart and got black hair dye for my Shigure costume I'm doing next. Since my hair resembles his a lot, I'm just gonna dye it and go like that. Also, I got more CD-Rs to burn these albums for Karen and a big package envelope to send it with. I also looked for the earring still, but no luck there. And, If you watched Headbangers Ball this week, Then you know how much it sucked.

Sunday, I found out about the whole Karen thing, which send me into a spiral of nervousness. She did say she was doing well, though, so I'm happy. I was going to try to finish my Katan suit by getting the little silver things on his attachment tabs, but time didn't let me so I was only able to play a few mintues of PS2 before we left.

This week, I do hope to finish my Katan suit as well as finish my song. All I have to do now is add bass drums, then burn it, listen to it, write lyrics, and record them. Then you all can hear this.

Okay, since I'm so sorry to all of you guys about the rant and since I can't really send you all a gift cause this is the internet, I can do the next best thing. Play this!!



Now who here doesn't love Dane "Teh Master" Cook!?!?! XDDD

Okay, the video today is HONESTLY one of the most beautiful songs I've EVER heard as well as the most beautiful and best video I've seen all year!! It's Underoath with "Writing On The Walls" off their new album "Define The Great Line". The video was shot in a 'dollhouse' that was custom made to be three stories tall! It shows the inner turmoil and problems of this family, along with some headbanging by the Underoath boys. I SO love this song and video and I hope you guys like it too.

Underoath - Writing On The Walls



This week's question: If you could dye your hair one color, what would you dye it?

Last week's question: What annoys me on MyO is how some people sign your guestbook and add you as a friend but never visit. They just add you so it can look like they have you on their friends list. That's BS! >_<

Okay, well I'm leaving now. I'll be back on Thursday so you guys take care. DON'T FORGET TO PRAY FOR KAREN!!!!! ^^ Stay (sic).

   Warning: Angry Rant May Be Unleashed In This Post.
Hey. I'm gonna warn you, I may or may not go into a rant in this post and, if I do, trust me, I don't think anyone is gonna like it. But, I'll try to stay positive.

Okay, Monday I got to have the house to myself, as you would know if you read last weeks post. Spent most of that time working on the song still, which is now becoming the bane of my existance. I got all of the keyboard tracks mastered and edited, finally, and decided to wear my Katan suit around the place when I wasn't working on it. I got some of the belt loops sewed onto it and it looks decent. Didn't get pictures though cause I didn't have the camera with me. Also, I learned the Cradle Of Filth song "Her Ghost In The Fog". Okay, now I know "Her Ghost In The Fog" and I can move on. Then me and mom went to Wal-Mart, where I got gloves for the Katan and I got more black thread, cause I ran out.

Next day, I tried to work on the song some more on the song but my time disappeared so I got nothing done with that. I did get some shots of the Katan suit this day and then got the rest of the belt loops sewed on and kept trying it on. Mom got there and got pictures of me with the suit, so I have that now. Also, I found this REALLY good tab site called 911tabs.com and I found the As I Lay Dying song "The Darkest Nights" on there, which I promised Karen that I would learn for her.

Wednesday, two of my three usually visiting cousins came here (the other went with her mom out of town for the day). We basically spent a lot of the day playing video games and stuff like that. They kept asking me graphic questions about ... female things ... like I'm supposed to know that!! >_____< It wasn't fun. But, I tried to make the tubes for the Harry suit yesterday, too. With some time I think I can make them look swell. Also, I learned Still Remains's "I Can Revive Him With My Own Hands" off of that tab site. So, that's cool. Next I'm gonna try this easy Bury Your Dead song called "Top Gun".

Today, all of my cousin's are here, and I'm still going to Randi's later tonight. Wish me luck.

Okay, I can't take it any more. Normally my posts aren't angsty or ranty, but you're in for a big one. I am PISSED-THE-FUCK-OFF that NO ONE had the kindness or decency to give me a review of my AMV when all I wanted was one person to say whether I should enter this thing at AFO's AMV contest. Now, some of you claim that your computers didn't let you watch the vid (which I'm skeptical about, seeing as how this person was able to talk about a Disturbed band video I played in December which they commented on), but to everyone else, WHAT!?!? Come on! Is my AMV THAT BAD that you can't even tell me that it's that bad for fear of making me feel bad. Well, fine then. I'm NOT entering my AMV at AFO! And frankly, that's another thing that pisses me off. The fact that I've been here for a year, have done everything I can to be friendly and nice to everyone I've come across, and there's only about three people who KEEP coming back to my site and leaving comments, and even nowadays I wonder if you'll keep coming back. I mean, my God. I see on my counter in the backroom that I get a lot of hits but not that many comments! WTF!? >_< Come on. I think after all of the commenting I do when I get the chance to go to your sites (Which I comment EVERY time I go to your sites!!!) that I deserve a little "Hi! What's up?" in return. Shit. I've HONESTLY been considering leaving this place since Monday. I know this sucks coming from me, but I just don't feel like I'm that welcome around here. The only thing that didn't stop me leaving TODAY was the fact that I know Karen would be sad and I just saw that my old friend, Jules, came back. So yeah, I'll shut up and get to the videos, which going back to the rant, unless I play something popular like A.F.I. or Panic!, it seems that, juding by what you say in the comments, no one really watches or the vids except for Jules, my resident metalhead.

Okay, since I haven't gotten to look around for any new videos, I wanna put the AMV I made back up here for Jules to watch. Maybe I'll get a good review from someone who wishes death on Gene Starwind as much as I do. XD



And if I could get anymore reviews, it would really make me feel better. And once again, if that rant was mean or bitter, it's just I don't know how else to get it out and I just had to get it out or I thought I was gonna explode. Here's some pocky for sitting through it. *HANDS POCKY AND HUGS* But PLEASE, just at least give the AMV a try, even though it's not the best thing in the world.

Okay, like I said, my friend Jules is back on MyO! So, to welcome her back, a video I KNOW she'd love. It's Bullet For My Valentine with "Suffocating Under Words Of Sorrow" off their album "Hand Of Blood". I don't know exactly what all of the ballet dancers in this video are for, but the song is awesome so that should be enough. Also, I didn't know these guys were British until I saw them on Headbangers Ball and heard the accent. Dumb me. :P Anyways, check this vid out. You'd like em.

Bullet For My Valentine - Suffocating Under Words Of Sorrow



This week's question: Anything on MyO get you down or annoy you?

Last week's question: Yeah, I made an AMV. It's above you.

Well, once again, I'm SOO sorry for that rant above, but I just had to say what was on my mind. I know it's not like me, but if I didn't say it, I probably couldn't let myself stay on this site. So, I hope there's no hard feelings to anyone and I hope that I can be in a happier mood by Monday. Til next time, take care all of you and stay (sic).

~a7s____~ Distraught.

P.S. I'm uploading my Katan pictures onto photobucket now. If you wanna see them, I MIGHT have them on my cosplay site later today. Look for the screen name "Harry MacDougal".

   Didn't I Say That I Wouldn't EVER Do This Again?!
Hey guys. How's it going?

So, let's see what's been happening. Thursday, my cousin's tried to torture me more with their One Piece game. BLECH!! >_< I HAD to do something to leave so I went to work on my cosplay. I wanted to finish my Harry once and for all so I started velcroing the little, yellow disks to the suit where they needed to be. That's when I found out that I was missing one for the foot. >________< DAMN IT!!! So, I quickly made one for the foot and should paint it today. Other than that, when I tried to get the tubes on the suit, they proved to be too heavy for the suit and started pulling and falling. T_________T This suit hates me!! Well, in order not to be completely discouraged, I started working on my Katan to give me something to do. I finished nearly half of the base for the suit in one day, so I got REALLY happy then. But my day REALLY was better when I got a package from Karen in the mail!!! It was the Angel Sanctuary dvd and a Rurouni Kenshin shirt!! I couldn't believe it ... and I watched the dvd first day and it rules and you should buy it now dammit! *ends rant* XD But yes, THANK YOU, KAREN!!! *GLOMP* Oh! And at Randi's, we had a fun unusual time during our lesson. Got through that and ended out my day with a long sleep.

Friday, since my cousins were gone, I worked some more on my song. I got more of the keyboard set and arranged and after this, it should be bass drum, cymbals, drum flares, and then vocals. I hope you guys get to hear this song this century. XD But, other than that I worked more on my Katan suit and got everything sewed on it except the hem on one of the arms. Oh, and I skipped around and sewed some hems before I sewed them onto the suit, but it was better for me that way, so it came out nicely. Then, my mom had two EXACT belts that were just small enough and just what I needed for Katan's neck! ^_^ So, she gave them to me and told me to do whatever to them.

Saturday, Mom said that she was going to Savannah to get the oil chenged. Now, I remember that I said that I was NEVER going to do that again with her, but I REALLY needed to go to Savannah. So we left at 6:30 and when we got there, it was packed!! So, when we drove into town, she remembered this other place and we went in there and got it done in like 18 minutes. ^^ Then, we went to some music stores before going to the Oglethorpe Mall and checking out my favorite stores, though all I got was some pocky from Hello Cutie. And mom took me to this ring booth and got me a cool demon ring before we left, so that was cool. After that, I went to Michael's and grabbed some thin wire over which I'm going to sew some tubes and then attach them to the suit. ^_~ Then it was to Hancock Fabrics where I got the yellow fabric and then it was to the Savannah Mall where I looked around for a crucifix earring, but couldn't find one. But I DID find this badass ring that goes all the way up my finger like Dani Filth always wears (And DID wear in the Babylon A.D. video!! I know, I saw it on him!!! ^__^)!!! So, I HAD to get that! Then I got Angel Sanctuary mangas vol. 5 and 6 before we left for Chili's to grab something to eat. Then I found out that I had gotten ANOTHER package ffrom Karen!!! It was a sweet Naruto poster with all of the dark, evil guys on it! Weeeee!!!!!! THANK YOU AGAIN, KAREN!!!!! *HUGGLES ... WHICH IS A COOL HUG-SNUGGLE COMBO* ^_________^

Sunday, I got the last hem sewed onto the Katan suit and cut the belts where I needed to before taking progress pictures. Well, right when my mom brought the camera here to get the shots, the battery dies. AND it takes to super huge lithium batteries so we didn't have backups, so don't expect pictures anytime soon. I'm sorry guys! T___T I really wanted to get to show you shots today.

Today, my grandma has to go to the doctor, so I get the place to myself. ^__^ I'm planning on working on my suit, my songs, and wearing my Katan suit around as much as possible. XDDD

Okay, until SOMEONE gets more Jackass videos on the web, I will be playing AMVs in this section now. Now, and I'm not doing this cause I'm conceited, the first AMV is my Outlaw Star AMV to As I Lay Dying's "Illusions". The reason that I'm doing this first is cause I might enter this in the AMV contest at AFO and I wanted to get your takes on it if I should or shouldn't. Also, the video and sound are kinda crappy cause I did have to speed load it onto YouTube. Hope you guys like it. ^_^



Please no bad reviews, though I know you guys wouldn't do anything like that. ^____^

Now, the video for this week is a good one. It's Arch Enemy with "My Apocalypse" off their album "Doomsday Machine". I love the guitar work on this song, as well as Angela's super unique growl. See, this is how we need women to sing in metal! If more girls in metal would sing like Angela, Otep in Otep, or Karen in Crisis then we wouldn't have so many sellout bands like Lacuna Coil. And yes, I said it. Lacuna Coil are sellouts. Big. Large. Sell. Outs! But anyways, back to the point. Arch Enemy rule, always have ruled, and this song rules, so check it out! ^_~

Arch Enemy - My Apocalypse



This week's question: Have you ever made an AMV?

Last week's question: Okay, if I have to do a physical thing I want, then I wish I had my keyboard or new guitar already. I WANT them!!

Okay, guys, leave me some hits and next time I'll try to have the shots. Til then take care of yourself and those you love and stay (sic).
