   Caught Under Wheels That Roll
Alright everybody, I know that I'm starting to sound like a broken record, but this is the greatest CD in the history of heavy metal! Last night I finished up the last four songs on Disc 1, and it was intense! No-Leaf Clover is fairly discordant when you listen to part of it, but as a whole, it's a wonderfully original song, unlike anything Metallica had written before. James did an outstanding job hitting all those high and low notes. Hero of the Day is deep and serious, and Devil's Dance is strong and wicked-sounding. And my personal favorite, Bleeding Me, the finale of the first concert, is absolutely amazing. It's so deep and beautiful, that you really feel the things that it was written about. It's just one of those songs that really get to you, ya' know? And the symphony just makes it even better. Here's a quote from the song:

"This thorn in my side
is from the tree I planted"

So simplistic, yet so true. I probably don't even have to explain what that saying means.

The chorus is particularly powerful:

"Caught under wheels that roll
I take the leash,
I'm bleeding me
Can't stop to save my soul
I take the leash that's leading me
I'm bleeding me
No, I can't take it
Caught under wheels that roll
I'm bleeding me"

You'd have to hear it to see just how poignant it really is, but I seriously think it'd be enough to make some of you cry. It's just that powerful.

Lindsey thankfully had a safe trip back home from college. Let's give her a cheer for finishing her education!

Karen (AKA Living Doll....man that's a creepy Otaku name ^_^') will be graduating from High School soon, so she deserves some praise as well! She recently finished her speech as class Salutatorian, so now all she has to do is deliver it at graduation. Let's pray that her graduation goes even better then OK for her and her peers! Though her Yuki costume's not finished, her Yuki wig is (Karen has some sort of super-human ability when it comes to wigs). She's got a quick pic of it on her site for us!

Let's see, what else happened today?
I had a cheeseburger for lunch today (yes, I know, it's not all that interesting. Just wait for it). I took a couple bites of it, and guess what happened. A big drop of ketchup fell right on my crotch! >///< It was so embarrassing! I wiped it up with a napkin, but it left a lovely little reddish-brown stain in the worst of all places. But nobody noticed, aside from the people I was sitting with, and they were cool about it. It was pretty funny, actually, because mark was all like, "Here, let me get that for ya' buddy!", and then jokingly picked up a napkin and pretended to try and wipe it for me. XD And I was all like, "Ack! Cut it out Mark!", and jumped back like 3 ft.!

Here's an optical illusion for you all!
What do you see here?


This piece is entitled, "Message of Love from the Dolphins". Though you see only the "love" part at first, if you look closely you'll notice that there's no couple there at all! Only dolphins!

I'll see you all tomorrow!
