   Metal, Metal, All the Way!!!
"Yo, Hey! Sup' err-ibody!?" Thought I'd do a Hip-Hop style intro, sort of as a spoof on Nelly's "Ride with Me". (Yeah, like I know ANYTHING about Hip-Hop. XP I'm a metal-head white-boy, through and through!)

Woo, we had a doozy of a thunderstorm last night. There was lightning everywhere! We sat on the porch and just watched the lightning, which several times struck very close our neighborhood. It blew out our cable and internet for the night. And this was almost all cloud-to-ground! There was ambulances and everything. Boy, it was like God was like God was giving a heavy metal concert! I wanted to go and put on "Ride the Lightning", but I couldn't find the CD.

I need to ask you guys to add Erin (Miyoko-chan) to your prayers. She had one of those REALLY crappy days that just make you really need a friend to get you back up on your feet. Please pray for her and give her your support.
Please also add TravelingDisciple's friend Floyd to the prayer list (TD was pretty shady on the details, so I don't know why). If TD is reading this, please tell Floyd to paint himself pink for his Halloween costume (half of you are laughing right now, and the other half of you are sitting their and scratching your head).

Some of you may have been a little confused a bit back when I mentioned "Super Size Me", in the fact that some of you didn't know what a "Shock-umentary" is. Well, here's a quick breakdown of documentary movie types:

Documentary
A movie centered on a study, along with some opinions of the creators, which are designed to persuade and inform you. "F 9/11" fits under this category, I think, but it might also qualify as a "shock-umentary" as well.

Shock-umentary
The same as a Documentary, only the message is more urgent, and the way it's shown is more drastic. "Super Size Me" fits under this category.

Mock-umentary
A movie that is shot LIKE a Documentary, but uses actors and is meant to be funny. "Spinal-tap" is the premium example of this, and is a Mock-umentary of a Rock-umentary.

Rock-umentary
A Documentary about the history or current activities of a rock and roll or heavy metal band. "Some Kind of Monster" is a Rock-umentary about the best heavy metal band on the planet: METALLICA!!!

And speaking of Metallica, I just got to borrow 2 new Metallica CD's! One is 6 songs from their "Binge & Purge" Tour (don't ask about the title), and the other is the St. Anger album! St. Anger really doesn't suck half as bad as most people say it does. Metallica's sound HAS changed, but they certainly didn't sell out at all. It's not my favorite album, but how can you hate "Frantic", "St. Anger" and "Some Kind of Monster", for which they named their award winning Rock-umentary? *Psh*, you change your sound just a bit, and people call you a sell-out. But I remain Metallica-faithful! \m/>_<\m/ ROCK ON!!!
