Well I have a couple new mp3's up, no fulls songs yet but I'm working on a collab with entity0009 and Spoony_Bard, so look for that soon, it's going to be very awesome.
I also started lifting weights, almost religiously. Great progress so far, but I'm still far too weak..
Christmas is coming up..that will be interesting. And school is going pretty boring, but i'm excited to be taking driver's Ed finally, should have my permit in a couple months.
And for this week's quoteable noteable: "Misery is almost always the result of thinking."
I find that is true a lot, but I think the same can be said for happiness. Or rather, we have have to think to realize the bad, and then work to create our own happiness out of it, a bit longer but the same basic idea I guess.
I apologize for being a day late, I was out of town but I swear, I'm doing my best to be consistent.And here's some music, i figure it's alright since it's almost December. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Trw_9kXq2RI
As for the RATM cover I was planning, like i said i went out of town so it didn't happen, soon though.
Other than that I've been very busy, schools picking up, the rush of the holidays and trying to keep up with music and friends is getting to be a bit much.
Speaking of holidays, how was everyone's (at least the American's) thanksgiving? Mine was cool, went to my grandparent's house.
Current mood: As alive as your father's corpse and as dead as yo
Alright, the first one got a great reception so here's number two! For those who's computer can handle youtube taking up their processor power, here's a link, especially for Mushy. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ioG2jR-obac
For everyone else, I uploaded a jam a few minutes ago, "Drop D Riffage", listen to that while you read.
A quick little update, the Crystal Mountain cover I mentioned last week is on my band Into Death From Hypocrisy profile, no vox though :/ For my next mp3, hopefully recorded and put up by tomorrow, a cover of Rage Against the Machine's Killing in the Name Of. I've got a backing track that has the original vocals and everything, I just need everyone to get out of the house so I can use a little volume
And this week's quote: It is easier for us to be wise for others than for ourselves -Francois De La Rochefoucauld
Ok, well I saw a thread in the forums about quotes, from famous people, people in power, or just generally awesome quotes and I loved a lot of them, so I decided I'll do a weekly blog and post some cool ones, or ones that I like anyways. So yeah, subscribe, you know you want to. Anyways, hope your enjoying that song, I really like it, also I'm learning to do Death Metal vocals, not full on gurgles like porngrind or anything, think Death/Dethklok style vocals. In fact, I'm going to *attempt* (read: fail at) covering Crystal Mountain by Death. Vocals and all
So yeah, here's the first quote, depending on the reception of this blog I'll judge if I should do more or not, so if you like the idea and want something to read once a week tell me.
Good people are good because they've come to wisdom through failure. We get very little wisdom from success, you know. - William Saroyan
