  The almost serious blog, that turned into the blog about MUSIC

  
  
  
  Heylo everyone. I haven't blogged in a long time. The thing is, I've just been in one of those no blogging moods. I'd have the idea, hell a whole blog, the layout and everything ready to go, but then no oomph to get it done. It was going to be serious, but since I don't want to do that type of blog anymore, I figured music will do.
  
  So here goes.
  
  
  
  
  
  As the weeks and months have past, I have been listening to all kinds of music non-stop. You name a genre, I have checked it out. I am always willing to give a genre of music a chance. I'm open-minded, so when something is recommended to me, I'll check it out. So far the music I cannot get into are death/black metal, metal core, screamo, crappy pop (there is some good pop music out there, so hush) and really bad rap music.
  
  I use Last.fm to record everything I've listened to. I joined back in 2005, but started from scratch in June.
  
  
  
  
  
  So while listening to the music on last.fm, I've found a whole slew of music that I've gotten into. Soon they will be added to my vast collection.

  Yes I know Ava Inferi is there twice. She's there because she is that awesome!
  
  
  
  With that stuff done above. I'll talk about the 3 albums I bought on Tuesday.
  
  
  
  
  
  
  I grew up on him. He's also from around my way. I had been waiting since October to get this. It got pushed back and I was heated. Then I went to HipHopDX and heard 'Holy Are You'. Good track.
  
  Now I went back to the site and they gave the album 2.5 out of 5. They obviously seem to be obsessed with beats and not words, because like I told my friend Chris, this album will go above people's heads and it did.
  
  Rakim Allah is by far my tie for my favorite rapper ever. The other guy goes by the name of KRS-One. I've listened to this album 4 times already. I'll probably bleed it out by the end of the week.
  
  
  
  
  I discovered them again through last.fm. So far this album s very good. It's nice hard rock that's not trying too hard.
  
  
  
  It was just to complete my catalog. And it was a mere $7.99! You can't beat that. And there is a DVD included with it too. I've seen them live a few times, so the live stuff is nice to have.
  

  This game thing here, I must speak of.

  I'm A Monster

  
  Hey everyone. How's life treating you all?

  
  
  Yup it's that time of year again. The leaves are starting to fall and I've had to resort to this . I own quite a few, but I didn't think I'd have to start wearing these this soon in the Autumn. I plan on buying more though. It's an obsession I think, because I don't like to wear jackets.
  
  
  
  
  The cat from next door
  
  There is a new cat that seems to want to be a part of our family. The kids next doors kind of adopted him from the old lady across the street from them. He's a tan and white cat. We call him Surfer Dude. When I call my cats to come in, he just gingerly shows up and wants some grub. Of course as the animal lovers we are, we feed him. hell we feed the birds and squirrels and possums too.
  He's taken a liking to me. I feel like I'm Eliza Thornberry at times because animals are so happy and trusting around me. too bad I can't them all in.
  
  
  My camera has died
  
  Mr Z as I like to call him, has officially died.
  
  May he rest in peace and be recycled.
  
  I'm on a quest to find a good one and I think I have. I'll just have to narrow it down to me wanting one with double A batteries or one with a rechargeable one that will suck ass in a year's time.
  
  
  
  I bought 3 games
  
  
  Hotel Dusk- Room 215
  
  
  -I have been trying to get this damn game for a while. when I saw it at the local Gamestop near us, I picked it up. So far it is a good game with a hell of a lot of talking.
  
  Sega Soccer Slam
  
  
  -I have not played this one yet.
  
  
  WWE SmackDown vs. Raw 2009
  
  
  -Yup I'm late. :p I'll be picking up 2010 next week too. I loved how the GS guy asked me to pre-order the game. (sarcasm)
  
  
  Fist of the North Star!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  
  
  
  GameInformer said: Koei Tecmo just put up a teaser site for a new game franchise. The official press conference to announce this mystery game will take place on October 14th. According to IGN, the rumor circuit in Japan holds that the Dynasty Warriors and Samurai Warriors team is behind the title, which is actually a game based off the popular Japanese manga Fist of the North Star.
  http://koeitecmo.info/new/
  
  Let's hope it's good.
  
  
  Movies
  
  
  -Stay away from it. I couldn't even finish it. That's how bad it was. Lena Headey in all her loveliness and acting abilities could not save this tripe.
  
  
  -What Pete (from Pete and Pete) is holding in his hand is right. That's what this movie is basically about. If you just want to laugh for the sake of laughing and going WTF from time to time, watch this flick here.
  
  
  
  
  Ours
  
  
  The title of the blog refers to the name of the song by this very band. No one I know has ever heard of them or even knows who they are. But when I got their first album as a promo (free stuff in the music world) 8 years ago, I became hooked. He (Jimmy Gnecco) has such a lovely voice.
  
  
  
  Ours- I'm A Monster
  
  
  Am I a bad guy?
  Am I a bad soul?
  My eyes roll backward
  My head fell forward
  We want the vampires
  They want the daylight
  Undecided if we will feel it
  
  All the lies and fantasies I picked to deny what is right
  as the lawyers lie down to the sound of a broken man clinging
  to the legs of a butterfly.
  We live to see our children die,
  turn to the bright to describe what we never will find,
  I'm a monster singing through the side of a left eye
  
  And I will pay for, and I will pay for,
  I couldn't have her,I couldn't save her,
  If I could grab on, I'd pull the ......
  
  All the lies and fantasies I picked to deny what is right
  as the lawyers lie down to the sound of a broken man clinging
  to the legs of a butterfly, of a butterfly
  We live to see our children die,
  turn to the light to describe what we never will find,
  I'm a vampire clinging to the sounds for a fast high.

  as the lawyers lie down to the sound of a broken man clinging

  I live to see our children die,
  turn to the bright to describe what we never will find,
  I'm a monster singing through the sigh of a left high.

  Big Green Monkey, Everyone's A Junkie

  
  
  There is a void in TNA and the reason is that the young lady in that photo above, is no longer in the company. Hopefully she returns.
  
  
  
  Season Premieres
  
  I watched more season premieres of shows that I wanted to see and could see last week and this week.
  Due to my workout regime, I have missed Eastwick. I'm hoping for repeats the way that they do SVU.
  
  
  
  Speaking of SVU...
  
  
  That premiere was absolutely amazing! There were twists and turns at every bend. I had to watch it twice to make sure I didn't miss anything. Wentworth Miller was awful. Everything he did seemed forced. Never have him back on my TV again please.
  
  The fact that a serial rapist shows up years later to finish his work so to speak, was one of the most terrifying parts of the episode.
  
  Olivia and her partner were great as usual. The way they had to solve the case was very interesting. The new ADA is growing on me.
  
  
  
  Next was Smallville
  
  
  Smallville was good. When the last season ended I was hoping that the dialogue would get better and it did. I liked how Clark is now in 'training' to get to use his powers. What I want to know is, why did we have to wait until S9 for it? Seriously, during high school and the entire puberty thing could have taken care of all this stuff. But I digress.
  
  Chloe is still annoying, but in a good way. She's still pining after Clark after all these years. Why? Move on girl, he's destined to be with the annoyance that is Lois. Who by the way has become a better actress. Hopefully we'll get a new interest for her this season.
  
  Oliver (Green Arrow) was playing into the bad poor little rich bad boy thing. It's played out, but he's sexy, so I don't mind.
  
  The story was basically Clarke talking to his dad, Lois returning from the future after 3 weeks, a boring fight scene between Clark and some assassin woman and Zod.
  
  Zod's military thing and the beat down that was handed to Tess was basically one of the best things I've seen on this show. Tess Mercer is just so good, that I hope to see her as a more prominent character in the show this season. She's evil conniving and is an awesome dresser.
  
  The ending of the episode showing Lois and Clarke and other things was interesting.
  
  
  
  Sunday I caught Desperate Housewives
  
  
  
  It was OK. Each family has their own thing going on.
  Mike is marrying the dumb one Susan. And the woman that Mike left for Susan, Katherine, has been relegated to deranged stalker woman.
  
  Gabrielle's character is boring! That family blows.
  Bree is having an affair with Susan's ex loser of a husband, Karl because her husband Orson is just a weirdo or something of that nature.
  Lynette is pregnant yet again and that family blows.
  
  Julie gets choked by some masked man and the new neighbor's son have a connection with Julie. The episode was eh. No Edie made me sad.
  
  
  
  Last was Dexter
  
  
  I watched it either last night at 1am or the other night at 1am. This is a great series.
  
  Dexter the serial killer is now married (which I hate). He has not killed in a long time and after a bit of a mishap at work, he feels he must do it again. He's got 2 step kids and one newborn. He tells his little one he kills people.
  
  While that goes on, his foul mouthed sister Debra, is dating some musician dude. Their chemistry isn't really there. I find her character to be too forceful, yet fun. She's on a quest to know more about her dad. It will be interesting to see how she reacts when she does find out stuff.
  
  Angel the detective and his boss are having an affair. Who cares. They look awful together and thank God there were no sex scenes. It is fun how they are all googly eyed with each other during the episode.
  There is a new killer introduced. Not a bad episode.
  
  
  Paula Zahn will be back on TV very soon. 10.18.09! I'm very happy about this.
  
  
  
  
  Our Lady Peace
  
  
  The title of the blog is a lyric from the song 'Everyone's A Junkie'. I love this Canadian band. They always have some great songs.
  
  Everyone's A Junkie
  
  I'm not waiting for the answers
  On a Sunday afternoon
  I'm just too drunk to remember
  Why I always slip through
  
  The drugs and fake ambition
  Have been helping me to hide
  But it's the endless television
  That has kept me inside
  
  Where does it stop?
  Where does it end?
  Where do we go?
  Why am I always complaining?
  
  I can be good
  I can be bad
  I can be loved
  
  But everything's gone black
  You're looking for that sun
  You're looking for that light
  Lonely, you're not the only one to feel this way
  
  Black, you're looking for that sun
  You're looking for that light
  Lonely, you're not the only one to feel this way
  
  Big green monkey, everyone's a junkie
  
  I'm not asking for forgiveness
  For the things that I don't know
  But I'm really not that different
  You just made me think so
  
  Where does it stop?
  Where does it end?
  Where do we go?
  Why am I always complaining?
  
  I can be good
  I can be bad
  I can be loved
  
  But everything's gone black
  You're looking for that sun
  You're looking for that light
  Lonely, you're not the only one to feel this way
  
  Black, you're looking for that sun
  You're looking for that light
  Lonely, you're not the only one to feel this way
  
  Big green monkey, everyone's a junkie
  
  Big green monkey, everyone's a junkie..
  Big green monkey, everyone's a junkie..
  Big green monkey, everyone's a junkie
  Big green monkey, everyone's a junkie
  You're the big green monkey, everone's a junkie
  
  Black
  You're looking for that sun
  You're looking for that light
  Lonely, you're not the only one to feel this way
  
  Black, you're looking for that sun
  You're looking for that light
  Lonely, you're not the only one to feel this way
  And I'll remember this someday
  
  Black, you're looking for that sun
  You're looking for that light
  Lonely, you're not the only one to feel this way
  
  Black, you're looking for that sun
  You're looking for that light
  Lonely, you're not the only one to feel this way
  
  Big green monkey, everyone's a junkie
  
  Click here to hear the song.
  
  
  
  
  
  
  This is just too cool, I had to share:
  
  
  
  
  And just like the article says PlayStation4 design is probably way too cool to be real.
