   This Comment Thing Pisses Me Off!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I don't even need to explain why I'm mad, huh? Well, things with the comments and something this morning have me high strung, so get ready for angst!

Well, Monday, I really didn't do much. I was just hanging around and figuring out how to enter that Bleeding Through contest for the guitar. I still haven't entered, but will certainly try to soon.

Tuesday, another Randi session! She says I'm still doing good and, when she taught me something that she had taught her other students, she said that I did it better on the first try then they can do it NOW!!!! I was amazed!! Then she taught me a scale that she had just learned that morning and was still having trouble with and, to be honest, it was really easy for me. Then she started bowing to me and going "You're the master!" I can't believe I'm doing this good!! Oh, and she hasn't found a drummer for me yet, but says that she is looking. At least that's good.

Wednesday, just another day in my life. I got done with my AMV and posted it on YouTube. So, if anyone wants to see it, you can shoot over there and type in links like "As I Lay Dying", "Hardcore", or "Outlaw Star" and it will be in there.

Sadly, my cosplay moves nowhere. But on Saturday, that shall all change. See, I'm going to have lots of time to do that cause I'm having to MISS Headbangers Ball! And Bury Your Dead is going to be on!!!! NNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'll find a way to see it, just you wait!

Okay, next piece of the poem. By the way, there is a part in here that's spoken word, so don't think I got real sucky on that part. XD

All hail my bride of destruction
For your world has been lost.
You cannot buy your way out of this.
No, you can't pay the cost.

"I saw your eyes that night, my bride,
And knew that next to you I would die."

Like the heavens and water we were so close yet so far,
The energy between us matched the gods and titans in war.
You voice not decieving and it has me believing
That by the end of this night I'll be asking for more.

"But you must understand that it was like this.
You were my little fairy,
A graceful beauty that was nothing but pure.
Something that made God scorn at all else of creation.
But when they nailed you away forever in that box,
And threw you in the ground, I would've died.
I cried so hard that by the time morning came
I could barely shed a tear.
But when they took me too and I came back
I knew we could have it all.
And now here we are again,
A Cherub of love and a Seraph of passion.
Now, maiden, as your in my arms tonight,
I'm giving you the world on a silver platter.
Tonight, you can live out that fantasy you alwasy spoke of
And, for once in your second life, you can ..."

Destroy the hearts of the ones
That took you from me!
Destroy the souls of the people
Who thought this love was not meant to be!
Destroy the hearts of the ones
That still roam this world free!
Destroy the souls of the blind
So they can finally see!

Okay, one more part to go and then I'm taking a break for all of February.

Now, the vid this week is a little treat. It's Bleeding Through with "Kill To Believe" off of their new album "The Truth". It's the newest video from the band! Someone please agree with me that Marta has the best psycho murderer look of all time when she's stabbing Brandan. I mean, that's so creepy. And, if ANYONE can tell me who is under that mask, I'll be your slave! Anyways, it's an awesome video and I hope you lik eit.

This week's question: What's one thing you've done in your life that you regret but can still look back on and laugh?

Last week's question: I really think you guys should know about Zao. They don't get enough press and credit for their music.

Well, okay, now that I've got a cosplay thing worked out and tons more to do before week's end, I guess all that I can tell you guys is to go check out my AMV! It doesn't have that good of a quality to it, but it is pretty kick ass! So, with that said, take care mortal humans, leave me comments or I will take a7s away from you forever, and stay (sic).

~a7s______~ Must find a way to watch Bury Your Dead!

   Eh .... Some Ups And Some Downs.
Yo, gu ...... wait! One comment! Aw, come on!

Well, anyways, I had an okay week. Thursday had me being by myself to practice loads on my guitar which I did not take the oportunity to do. But, over the course of the next few days, I did get in a lot of practice. And I might have thought up some new riffs for songs, so that's always good.

Friday had me chilling as well, but on Saturday I went to town and grabbed two new albums. I got Bleeding Through's "Portrait Of The Goddess" and "The Truth". Both MUST get 10s or the world will collapse in on itself!!! "Rise" is the best BT song ever!!!! And .... I found out that the Cradle book doesn't come out until June, so I guess I'll just wait.

Also, Bleeding Through was on Headbangers Ball! They had the world debut of their new vid and also announced that they're giving away a guitar autographed by the whole band! I'm so entering!!

And, my cosplay goes nowhere, but I will work on it this week. But I am doing something cool. I'm making an AMV! Hopefully I'll have it on YouTube soon!

Well, the next poem puzzle piece. XD

To the cemetery lost in due time,
Our altar of matrimony lying in state.
A four-stringed pulse plays our eternity song.
We must begin before it's too late.

"And soon, for you, my dying bride,
Thou wilst be annoited with the vow of 'I do'."

No ministers present. The witnesses? Corpses.
And the trees they are marked with funeral wreaths.
I bestow to my angel a serpent tiara
To beset her tattered dress made of golden fleece.

These trees they hide the miracle of day
And comfort this gothic ritual.
Eternity from you I have been away,
Only visits in my dreams so conjugal.

As words were exchanged and cold, dead lips met yours,
The union has been pusely fulfilled.
And the undead rise to take up arms
And to purge a world whose air has been chilled.

Now, if this is gettintg wierd, it should. XD Don't worry, it'll all make sense soon.

Now, the video this week is a band I JUST discovered! It's Bullet For My Valentine with "Hand Of Blood" off the album with the same name. They sound like a lesser known, poppier version of Trivium. I honestly think that they are good and want you guys to try them out.

This week's question: Any bands you think I should know about?

Last week's question: You would think I'd say Cradle, but I'd really like to see a hardcore band like As I Lat Dying or Bleeding Through live!

Well, I gotta work on this AMV and quick! So, LEAVE ME COMMENTS! *swings pendulem* Yes. You SHALL leave me many, many comments. XD Well, see you guys later! Oh yeah! Stay (sic)!

   Praises, Not Death!!!!
Hey, everyone! I had a great week, did you?

Well, Monday was kinda lame to start. It was just me lounging around as usual. I played my guitar a little bit and tried to watch some tv, but other than that, my Martin Luther King Day disentigrated. So, yeah ....

Well, on Tuesday, I won my Matrix game! Yes, I am the baddest Neo ever. Don't think you can top my skillz. XD No, but seriously, that game is so fun, and I'm HIGHLY recommending it to you all. Also, I went to the ortho ... uh, Satan and he checked my teeth out for my retainer. Apparently, I'm doing good, so that's always the best.

Then I had to go to guitar with Randi, who might actually be reading this so I'm going to butter this up a little bit. ^_^ Well, I was so scared cause I thought I was going to bomb and be scorned and other stuff like that. Turns out, I did awesome!!! She complimented me and said that I have the potential to be a great recording artist. Great, someone else makes me more big-headed about myself. XD Well, I also FINALLY asked her about a drummer and she said that she knew some people and would keep her eyes and ears open for me. So, at least that is out of the way.

About my Harry, well I haven't done ANYTHING on it sadly. I know, it's collecting dust, but I'm going to draft that pattern soon, don't worry!!!

And now, Part Three!!!!

But as my past tempts me to turn away,
My conscience tells me to stop and press onward.
And as the morning star beckons on the ocean's horizon,
I open my eyes just to see you say,

"From the start, my heart was a war drum beating
To the tune of a mantra that said we'd never part."

As the pearls from a broken necklace crack and break under my feet,
I move toward this sultry goddess whose succulent taste is surely sweet.
We are positive and negative. Electricity gracing the sky
Cannot revive the dead memories we've left throughout time.

"But once more, I abhore, and in your name
I shall start another holy war."

And as our fingers slowly entwine,
The forest begins to beckon as the shore fades away.
My lady of faith, we met by fate,
To the tune of howls from the wolves that are stray.
And as our fingers slowly entwine,
No more will you cry. It all ends today.
The pain that was put on you will be destroyed.
The forest begins to beckon, our intentions to slay.

Okay, don't think that's the end. There's more to come.

Now, I've waited a LOOOONG time to play this video. It's Bleeding Through playing "Our Enemies" and "Rise" live off of their album "Portrait Of A Goddess". These songs and this performance in general show why Bleeding Through is probably the best band in hardcore. They are so good and they can be so agile with their instruments. Also, this has their old keyboardist, Molly, so that's another treat! BTW, the way to tell when the new song comes on is when Brandan puts the mic in the crowd for them to sing and then goes "Forever!", then they start playing "Rise". Hope you guys like this one, cause I certainly do!

This week's question: What's the one band that you would do anything to see live?

Last week's question: My favorite book would probably be the third Harry Potter!

Okay, well I left you guys a poem and a super long video to check out, so if you don't enjoy that, then I'm sorry, but I wanted it up here and that's all that matters. XD Well, I'll see you guys later. Take care and stay (sic).

~a7s_____~ BTW, I have a black metal name now for anyone who wants to refer to me on their site. Dementer!

   Randi Is Going To Kill Me!!!!!!!!!
Happy Martin Luther King Day, everyone! Well, I'm actually shocked that I'm posting today.

Well, Thrursday was pretty boring. I didn't do much except stay at my Grandma's and loaf around. I actually should have cosplayed, but as you know, I am super lazy. Right now, I'm just watching new Cradle videos that I'll be playing on Thursday. They seem so cool. Hopefully I'll have lots of views next week to check them out.

Saturday, I just tinkered with my guitar trying to write stuff. I seem to have forgotten what Randi taught me and KNOW that she'll kill me on Tuesday when I see her. God, how I'm dreading this. Also, I went to town and wanted to ransak the place, but chose against it.

Sunday, BOOOOOOOOORRRRRRRRRRIIINNNNGGGGGGG!!!!! Also, I have been wanting to get a book (how shocking). It's called "The Gospel Of Filth: The Black Metal Bible". It was written by this really famous priest in the Satanic church and Dani Filth (wow, who didn't see that pair coming? XD) and it's about two things. One: the history of how the occult has influenced metal and two: the history of black metal, which is necessary for my Blackcore band!

Now, part two of the poem!

Turning apathy into sincerity,
Just like my hate of others into a love for thee.
Morphing wind's sour notes into a lulling song,
She made me think this storm was a peaceful calm.

"In surprise, and with those eyes,
Forever and a day would I believe those beautiful lies."

Gracing my ears while gracing me,
The whisper of the wind with the whisper of thee.

From birth, I knew I could never believe,
For pain is all from this world I recieve.
Stabbed by a Brutus, crucified by a Judas,
And yet, no one was there to grieve.

But there's no need to grieve, my dear,
Because you at least kept me from this tomb.
When I look back on it all in reflection,
I can see that you are my last revalation.

I hope the next few chapters are as good as this.

Well, still haven't written anything new on the fanfic, but hey, I'm trying.

Now, the video this week is Trivium with "A Gunshot To The Head Ofr Trepidation" off their album "Asendancy". I recommecded this song a week ago, and now you get to see why.

This week's question: What is your favorite book? (mangas do NOT count!)

Last week's question: I don't really have an AMV that sparks something in me. (Okay, I'm lying. I just don't want to answer that one.)

Well, I gotta go. Hope you like the video! Well, pray for me and stay (sic).

   And The Number One Metal Video Of 2005 Is ................................
Well, well, well. We've been waiting for this day, huh? Well, I'll get to the vid later.

As for my week, what has happened? Not really a lot, you see. I've been going to school and, after going through my grueling mid-terms, am at least glad that I'm back to normal. Oh, and I have a sinus infection, which leads to me coughing like a smoker and not being able to headbang without feeling like I'm going to vomit. Yeah, it rules! *sarcasm over* But, my meds have been helping me on that.

Sadly, I have no Randi news to report because, as you all know, she's on vacation. So, last night I just tinkered around and actually recorded most of that song I've been trying to write. So far, it's only like two or three minutes worth, but I'm going to rearrange it and make it spiffy! And Randi will kill me next week because I forgot what she told me to practice. >_<

On cosplay, well, the great cosplay mistress (a.k.a. Living Doll) as suggested something to help with my pattern for the armor. Now, I just have to put that knowledge to good use and I'll be ready to start that. BTW, I STILL haven't got that wig yet. PLEASE don't remind me about it!

Now, the poem this time is kinda cool. It's short, but it's part of a five or six piece one I'm doing over the next few weeks. So, here's part one.

I stand, in the shadow of the moon
On a midnight day.
Transfixed in a dream, wishing you were here
So that I could say,

"Together, forever, our ties
The eclipsing light will never sever."

Tears of ruby dropping on an onyx ground.
Diamonds in the sky can't compare to your sound.

"This light, tonight, has blessed me now
By putting you in my sight."

Nurtured night, I beg to you,
Bring me my love by the eastern shore.
She is the one of a dream,
She is the one of a mythic folklore.

Okay, now remember, that's part one. So, I'd still love reviews of the pieces and then the whole. Cakes go out to those who review all the pieces and the whole. ^_^

And now, a shocker. I finished the next chapter of my fanfic!!!! Yes! I did it! Go check it out and leave me reviews. Btw, thank you, Karen, for another awesome review. Jules, leave me a review. *glares* Yes, you, Jules! And hopefully, you guys will leave me reviews as well! ^_^

Now, the best metal video of 2005! Number one! Numero uno! The big one!! It's ............ Mudvayne with "Happy?" off of their new album "Lost And Found"! Now, I like the song and all, but come on! A butterfly!? In a metal video!? THAT ....... is a sellout!!!! But, the storm did back the song up and made it really cool, so I forgive the butterfly thing. Hope you guys like it!

This week's question: Does any music video (or AMV for some) make you think of anything weird, cool, or special?

Last week's question: I said it last week, but the best album of 05 was DEFINITLY As I Lay Dying's "Shadows Are Security"!

Well, I must go. It is my lunch break when I post this and I starve, seroiusly. T_T Now, I MAY be on AIM tonight, so if anyone wants to shout out at me, go right ahead. Oh, and I leave you with a little treat for today, to celebrate my fanfic's return! The band playing in the background is Blink 182 with "Don't Tell Me It's Over". My heros doing what they do best! XD Well, take care to you all, and stay (sic), like those wackos!

   Best Day Of Life: January 6!! Worst Day Of Life: January 6!!
I'll explain that title in a few minutes. So, what's up!?

Well, Thursday was another bland day. Doing exams in school, which is never fun. But I think I aced them all. Repeat: I think. XD So, then I just lounged around and played games trying to help my cousin out. I swear, if he doesn't one day work as a game tester or something to that effect, I'm so going to be mad at him. All he does is games, games, games. Hell, he stopped watching anime for his games! At least my games have anime!

Then Friday came! First, I'll explain why it was the worst day of my life. I had to go to that allergy doctor. Okay, walking in he seemed nice, then went psycho. He started trying to make all of these weird jokes about Osama Bin Laden and trying to make t humerous. It actually was working, until he took a needle and started scraping across my arm for the "scratch test"! No jokes helped then. Right after he left the room, me and mom gave each other these looks like "We should get out ... NOW! He's crazy!" Needless to say, she owed me a belt!

Then that got over with (thank God) and we went back to "Roach Garden" (reference last trip to Olive Garden XD). I actually didn't eat much, mainly cause I was so nervous about something coming up in a few minutes, and the fact that I had minor stigmata wasn't helping! XDD So, then we went to the mall, and now the reson why Friday was also the best day of my life ........ I got to call, yes, CALL (like on a cellphone call) Karen!!!!!!!!!!!! Don't ask! Please! Anyway, she had to experience, first hand, the random day of madness that involved ducking from my mom in a Hot Topic to trying to listening to me give a growling demonstration! XD But aside from the damage to my vocal chords due to the growling, we had a great time talking. Then I went to Circuit City and the other mall and did some shopping there. All in all, I nabbed a new belt, Cradle Of Filth's "The Cradle To Enslave" and "Damnation And A Day" albums (both of which get automatic 10s), Fruits Basket Vol. 2 manga, Angel Sanctuary Vol. 1 manga, and a Simpsons calender!!!

Then, on Saturday, I had to go back to the doctors!!!! Why? Mom!!! GGRRRR!!!! But, we got to go back to the mall and I grabbed the new Chimaira album (it's self-titled, by the way). I give that a 10 too. It really is boss! And then that just ended out my week!

Now, instead of a poem today, I'm going to give you guys the top 3 albums and songs that were out in 2005! Here they are!

Albums:

3. Still Remains -Of Love And Lunacy
This album could be one of the most defining metal albums I've ever heard as a debut. The keyboards make it highly alike to In Flames, yet the breakdowns could be motioned back to Unearth!Jordan's guitar work in the album is also something to be noted. All in all, a very melodic metalcore album that definitly gets five stars any day!

2: Trivium - Ascendancy
Like I said above, I could not BELIEVE that this was a debut album! This sounded like the defining album of a band that has been around since the 80s! Everything from the vocals to the guitars screams that this is the new sound of metal! Corey and Matt's guitar solos are also super complex and should be greatly noted in thier dificulty. Once again, this is a five star album.

1: As I Lay Dying - Shadows Are Security
Buying this album as an As I Lay Dying fan already, I had very high expectations for this album. After listening to it, I don't even bother picking up their old album anymore! This is probably the GREATEST METALCORE ALBUM EVER!!! (Quote me. I don't care!) Riffs of way too technical proportions for hardcore combined with unbelieveably seismic breakdowns equals pure gold! Also, Tim always has a point of getting that little place in you to spark when you hear him. This is definitly the best album of 2005!!!

Songs:

3: Confined by As I Lay Dying
As usual, AILD deliver again, probably making an anthem in terms of moshing! Everything from a blast beat to a breakdown to melodic vocals is used in this song. It just runs the gamment of things a song can do. Definitly one of my favs.

2: A Gunshot To The Head Of Trepidation by Trivium
As soon as I heard this song, I knew it was goning to be something I'd be telling everyone about, and it looks like I was right. One thing about this song sticks out: that double solo!!!! I've never heard a solo I was in love with more than this one. Then that war chant "HEY! HEY! HEY! HEY!". Pure metal!

1: Nothing Remains by Chimaira
Before you go saying that I'm putting this on here just because I got the album on Saturday, let me say that I've heard this song many months before and loved it then, so I have all right to say it was the best song of the year. The thing sounds purely mechanical the whole way through, almost as if a machine had made the song! That adds to the genius of it considering that the whole album itself was designed to sound like that. Also, it's just heavy fast and all of that good stuff.

So, use that info wisely! ^_~

Now, vid time. Luckily, they didn't have videos 4 and 3, which happened to be Clutch with "Burning Beard" off thier album "Robot Hive/Exodus" and Life Of Agony with "Love To Let You Down" off thier album "Broken Valley", respectively. And, since I didn't recommend one of them, I'm happy that I don't have to torture you! And now, a video I have been DYING to play! ^________________________________^
Coming in at number 2 it's Slipknot with "Before I Forget" off of their album "Vol. 3: The Subliminal Verses". This is Slipknot, UNMASKED, sort of. XD Also, if you look in the background after the first chorus, Clown is doing the HARDEST circle headbanging I've ever seen!!! Kudos to him!! Anyway, I will air the number 1 video of the year on Thursday, so get ready people!!!!!

This week's question: What do you think was the best album of 2005?

Last week's question: I love a bacon, egg, and cheese biscuit for breakfast. Don't ask! XD

Well, I've gotta be at school in ten minutes so I will run. Don't forget to give reivews and comments to my Christmas present Karen made for me or *shakes fist*. Well, take care and stay (sic).

~a7s_____~ He actually left the room, like, two minutes ago. So how is this still being typed?

   Can You Hear Me Now? Good!
Hey everyone. Good times. Good times.

Well, Monday went good. My cousins stopped by unexpectantly because we had a MONSTEROUS storm here and there was a tornado warning for their county, so they didn't feel safe. Needless to say, we had loads of fun. The next day, we even got cheat codes for my new DBZ game and got tons of new characters. So, yeah. Super 17 is the baddest ever!

Tuesday, I got some bad news from Randi. She won't be there for lessons next week because she's going to Florida for a vacation. I'm disappointed for two reasons: One, because I don't get a lesson next week. Two, she won't take me! ^_~ But, all in all, we had another good lesson. Tons of funny random moments, though she doesn't like being random and thinks that I do it for attention. What?! Come on!

Well, last few days have been AWESOME! I've been on AIM every morning and afternoon talking to Karen and it's been sweet! I think she may be me as a girl or I may be her as a guy, or something cause we are so much alike! We even like type the same thing at the same time. It's so funny and bizarre that it rules!

Oh, and tomorrow I have to go to town to go to an allergy doctor cause my mom is pestering me like crazy. But hey, I get to spend tons on stuff for me and someone else at the mall, so it's all good. The worst part is that they are gonna draw blood and, well, we all know how I am about that. Maybe they'll just get it over with and that will be it.

Poem time. First one of the year.

I wonder if I should do this now.
This mistake could be
The last motion I'll ever take.

Should I run away
From the one I love
And enter a wake
Of destruction.

It's like I'm on a sinking ship
In the middle of the deep, blue sea.
But this sea is love so please,
My love, please drown with me.

I feel like I'm running from an embrace.
An embrace that you're afraid to give.
For you're afraid that I may leave you,
But suffocating in you is what makes me breathe.

When I don't hear the kiss of your voice
On my ear, that feeling's the worst.
I know Cupid's arrow blew through your heart,
Because it had to go through my back and my chest first.

For you to run, for you to run back to me,
That is the one thing I wish you'd do.
But that dream can, sadly, never happen,
Because I will always be running back to you.

Sappy, as usual, I know. But hey, I post what I post.

The number five video is up now! It's Megadeth with "Of Mice And Men" off of their album "The System Has Failed". I didn't like this song at first, but it actually grew on me. The vids about Dave Mustaine's childhood struggle to become a musician in the metal world. It really is good and I hope you guys like it.

This week's question: What's your favorite thing to eat for breakfast?

Last week's question: My New Year's Resolution is to try with all of my heart to get to a darn anime convention to show off my Harry costume, if it ever get's done.

Well, I'm gonna go do some stuff now. But I got one more thing for you! I found a place where someone downloaded the WHOLE Jackass movie onto the web! If you want the site, just tell meh in a comment and I'll PM the site to you. Believe me, it's TOO FUNNY!!! Well, see ya on Monday, and stay (sic).

P.S. Thank you, Karen, for that super sweet Christmas drawing you did for me! BTW, if you don't go check out her drawing and leave a very nice comment, I'll hunt you down. I MEAN IT!!!!! ^_^ Thanks, Kars!

   Happy (Sic) New Year!!!!!!!!!!
Mood: Super (sic) and happy
Music: For Love And Failing (yeah, the new song) by Bleeding Through

Happy New Year, everyone. How do ya like my new layout? Trippy, huh? Man, I have a lot to talk about, huh?

Well, Tuesday I went for lessons with Randi. She kept switching between me and her msn messenger on her computer there. O_O Hey! I'm doing lessons, you know. I was funny to ask her if I could say something and have her go "No way, man." Anyway, I don't think I'm gonna do good this time, but I hope she passes me. *crosses fingers*

Wednesday and Thursday, my cousins came over and we played Dragonball Z WWWAAAYYYYYYY too much. I'm starting to not like it cause we played so much. Aside from that, I tried to use the internet and do stuff, like write my fanfic, but I still couldn't think of anything. I need inspiration.

Saturday, I got to seee my cousin from Albany. All we did was goof off til like late at night when I had to literally get into a fist fight with him to use the internet at 10:00 P.M. for something that, well, didn't turn out right. >_< But, we rang in the New Year by trying to watch lots of late-night television, but I went to bed at like 12:30 P.M.

Then, Sunday, I woke up and just talked to Karen and Jo all day. ^___________^ Oh! And Karen helped me figure out some more people to cosplay! I'm gonna do Shigure from Fruits Basket and someone from Angel Sanctuary. She said that AS suits looked very black metalish. *reflects on the CONSTANT Cradle Of Filth rants* Yeah, so I think it's needless to say that I'm doing that.

Well, we also went out to eat for my Grandma's birthday last night (Yeah! Her birthday is January 1!), and me, my Albany cousin, and our uncke kept talking about EVERY Jackass stunt ever! Good times. Well, also there was like this big freakin storm last night and it got me off of the net quick. So that's been my week.

Oh, and I haven't gotten any cosplay done. I'm probably gonna do that next week, cause I'm still on a break for planning.

Well, a few posts ago, I told you guys to write some year-end poems. Man, I only got two! Oh well, they were good anyway.

Living Doll's poem!

The years have come and gone
With nothing to gain,
I was always alone
Accompanied only by pain.

But then the light came
And flooded the abyss
And then I realized,
I had reasons to live.

For the first time
I have a place,
A warm smile,
A warm embrace.

I'm gonna need to talk to you, Karen, about your incredible writing skillz!

tohru487's poem!

goodbye's and hello's
my life has changed a lot, though
i'm still pushing on.

Short, but sweet. I like some poems like that. Good for hardcore metal.

Well, I'm trying to do one for Thursday, so hang in there.

Well, the countdown continues with number 6! It's As I Lay Dying with "Confined" off their album "Shadows Are Security" (best album of 2005!). Like I say, get one kick ass band, a very large performance area, and a hurricane, and you're bound for gold, people!!! This video is so awesome. I can't tell you how many people from Hot Topic say that I look like Tim Lambesis (the lead singer).

Well, January brings a new band of the month. It's As I Lay Dying! These guys broke on the scene between late 2002 to early 2003 and released their debut album, which became one of the fastest selling metalcore albums ever and suddenly opened up listeners ears to a whole new style of metal that no one knew existed. They can go from insane, technical riffs to the most monsterous breakdowns of all time!!! Their albums are as follows:
"Frail Words Collapse"
"Shadows Are Security"
The band members (from left to right):
Jordan Mancino: Drums
Phil Sgrosso: guitar
Nick Hipa: guitar
Tim Lambesis: vocals
Clint Norris: bass; vocals
I swear if you don't listen to them, the wrath of the metal world will pour on you!!!!

This week's question: What is your New Year's resolution?

Last week's question: My favorite gift is my effects petal! ^_^

Well, I'm gonna go check your sites and goof off some more. Oh, by the way Karen, I got a MySpace!!! Now, you need to get one! Cause you can talk to Weezer, remember? Good! *nods* Well, Happy New Year and stay (sic) in 06!

   And ............................... The Wraith Is Back Once More!
Mood: giddy!
Music: Filthy Little Secret - Cradle Of Filth

Hey, everyone! Well, I figure I should post again before the year ends.

Well, didn't do much on Thursday except enjoy myself and my time off of school (which I'm still going on). Then, on Friday, I AIMed with my usual cool crew. Also, I got to sew the ribbon for my wig cause it was thinner then I wanted it to be, so that's done. Oh! Great news! Mom got me the silver thread. So now I can go and begin sewing the body armor for the Harry suit any second now. I really am looking forward to this one.

Well, the fam's still being the same as they usually are: out of their minds. XD My cousins found out about my metal heritage and, yes, I am being persecuted for my beliefs by them, too. T__T Why does everyone hate metal!? Well, besides that, I got some awesome Christmas gifts! Here's what I got:
A sweet effects petal for my guitar
Awesome clothes
Ratchet: Deadlock, The Matrix: Path Of Neo, Dragonball Z Budokai: Tenkaichi for PS2
And I still have a Christmas party with my family down here on Saturday! I think I know what I'm gettin, but I'm just so excited to see my cousin from Albany. We're like brothers! Hopefully, if any of you guys are on AIM at 10:00 Saturday night, you can talk to us.

Also, I get to go hang out with Randi today for guitar. i can't mess around anymore. I have to ask her about a drummer, pronto! So, wish me luck!

Well, on the spot, I'm gonna write a poem describing my year. Here it goes.

As time flies and the year slowly dies
I wonder what memories will reflect in my eyes.
Those of aging, becoming anew,
Knowing, for once, what others go through.

Out of the shadow of loneliness,
I finally get to meet the rest.
True friends I made for the first time,
Sweet memories to treasure that will forever be mine.

Through sickness and through health
Through fun and through grief,
We never will realize til the end end
That this time was too brief.

So, to all of the guys and all of the girls,
To those below and to those above,
I wish you the best for 2006,
Especially to the one I love.

Hope you guys like it. And, I want you guys in the comment to sum up your year in a cool poem. I would really like to see what you guys do in terms of that.

Well, even thought the year is about to end, the countdown continues. In this time at number 7 is System Of A Down with "QUESTION!" off their album "Mezmerize". It is totally awesome how bizarre it is. And yeah, even THEY said that they don't know what the video is about, even though their bassist directed it. XD I'm just glad it made the list.

This week's question: What is your favorite Christmas gift that you got this year?

Last week's question: One word? Goddess! Some out there will know. Oh, and Karen wanted to know who I would NEVER cosplay. Gene Starwind. I hate him!!!!!!!!! Btw, if anyone ever wants to ask me anything, please, feel free. I love answering questions about me. ^_^

Well, I'll be making my next post on Monday, which should give me tons to talk about. Now, to go play Budokai so my cousi won't yell at me for not having gotten certain characters yet. O_O' Well, Happy New Year to you all and, for the last time this year, to Karen, Jo, July, Erin, Lindsey, Tristan, Marko, Tony, and to those I whose names I've forgotten or don't know, stay (sic)!!!!!!!!
