Damned In Blue

hangover hungover hongober hangover

Phoughts to Tonder I have been so blind all along! Instead of feasting and salivating over Bay Area Thrash scene, I should have listened to balls-to-the-walls Joisey Thrash (read: OVERKILL ! ) They're pretty much the most soild, consistent, and fairly prolific Metal band, and after listening to some not-so-heavy music as of late, this is a nice, swift Heavy Metal™ kick in the nads. Slayer sucks, Overkill p0wns j00!!!! A Life Milestone I am one of the first people in the world who has taken a piss on SM Mall of Asia on May 20, 2006 , a day before its grand opening, at around 2 p.m. Respect me! Day Late I just remembered this morning that X-Men: The Last Stand is premiering today, and to my dismay, I cannot see it today because I'm too lazy to do so. I'll just settle for tomorrow. Past Revisited After months of not listening to this album, for reason unknown, I have decided to give it a spin. It turns out that The Focusing Blur by Vintersorg is an underrated gem, a dia...

In the NBA, Jersey number 23 simply means Michael Jordan. As simple as that. This indication is an apt tribute to one of basketball's finest players, if not the finest. However, there are still a number of players wearing the number 23 on their jerseys. It is understandable that these players are paying homage to their basketball hero, but it is disappointing that a lot of players happen to have used this number in their careers. One of the most glaring is Lebron James, who in fact seems to be destined to become the only player in NBA history who wears the same number as His Airness to reach the level of which Jordan competed and played, if not surpass it. Both are similar in a sense that they have a complete game, although James is taller and has a better physique. And at this stage, he may be the best 21 year old player who played the game, and better than Jordan was when he was 21, no question about that. Which brings me to the problem about his jersey number. Lebron has the gif...

Finally! After months of waiting in vain for this day to say these words, I now can shout to the world that... I HAVE RELIEVED MY DA VINCI CODE BONER!! Honestly, it quite failed to deliver the goods, not because the book is better than the movie (which is true, but that's not the point), but I feel that the storytelling is too fast and quick (or maybe I'm just fucking slow). It does not let the viewers digest every piece of information as much as they could have, which made the book so good. Aside from this, it was entertaining as hell, I didn't go to sleep during the film (always a good thing), and I didn't feel like a jackass after seeing it. Da Vinci Musings (with Spoilers, of course!): Paul Bettany playing Silas is just pure genius. He easily passes off as an albino, and his menacing look works as well. Sopie Neveu's character was dumbed down, which is a bummer, and gives too much way to Robert Langdon to assume the hero role. Bullllllshit. On a positive note, S...

Thoughts to Ponder I have seen VH1's Behind the Music of Pantera through YouTube, and although the whole thing was sufficent to satiate the average person's curiosity for the band, it doesn't really say anything new from what has already been said ad nauseum . As always, their glam years prior to their "major label debut" Cowboys From Hell were omitted, whether intentionally or not, which makes this documentary anything but a definitive statement of the band's legacy. However, the segment where Terry Abbott shed tears over the murder of his son/Pantera axeman Darrell "Dimebag Darrell" Abbott during his performance on December 4, 2004 with his current band Damageplan, along with his brother/Pantera drummer Vinnie, was nothing less than touching. "Inside that rock n' roll exterior, was a boy." Bummer. Let me take a moment to bask into the beauty of song: Cody ChestnuTT "Serve This Royalty" off the album The Headphone Masterpie...

The Gathering How to Measure a Planet? (1998) This album is The Gathering’s Rust in Peace, or Seventh Son of a Seventh Son, for that matter. If I were to stretch it, it will closely resemble Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness by The Smashing Pumpkins, aside from both being double-disc affairs. These albums share a similarity, where the bands charted new musical territories and progressive ideas into their trademark sound. As a result, Megadeth got more technical, Iron Maiden got more theatrical, and Smashing Pumpkins got more famous. How to Measure a Planet? is a tour-de-force. It is the album where The Gathering finds their visions fulfilled, where they sounded like the way they should sound. They did away with the Metal and Gothic posing they fostered with their previous albums in order to create music without boundaries. They have basically toned down the guitars, and focused more on the dreamy atmosphere and the beautiful vocals. Anneke van Giersbergen has proven time and again...

What are the things running through my head while downloading a 3.4 MB song off Limewire with a dial-up conneciton? Ready...Go! 3% - The Los Angeles Clippers lost to the Phoenix Suns. Gademit. Obviously, I am rooting for the underdog, well, they're not really the underdogs of the series since Phoenix has been playing without Amare Stoudemire for the whole season and the playoffs, yet still managed to play superb basketball and grabbed the 2nd seed in the West, a feat nobody would have ever thought possible. However, great expectations weren't on the side of the Clippers as well, a franchise doomed to fail at the start of the season. Well, they're turned it around for the good, getting that 4th seed, which again not what everybody would have expected. Still, I still feel that the Clippers deserve to win the series because not only do they have the talent to advance to the next round, but because they're the Clippers, and sometimes in life, some people just need to be g...

Mr. Devin Townsend and his awesome skullet Man, I have to get me one of these... --- Phoughts to Tonder When you get to see things in a stupefyingly grey splendor, where the smiles of people are anesthesized by a seemingly removed and emotionless color, you know that there's something wrong.

:-( --- A useless blow-by-blow account on one of the dreamiest songs ever… My Bloody Valentine – To Here Knows When off their album Loveless (1991) 0:01- The song starts with an overpowering, swirling effect of keyboard arpeggio played over a drowned keyboard chord. From the get go, the sonic abrasiveness sets the tone of the song, where the listeners cannot help it but get devoured and swept away by the forceful wave of its rich melody. The rhythm section does not draw too much attention. However, it does deliver the backbone and framework where the keyboards, and later on the guitars, weave their magic. 0:20- The arpeggio goes out, and is replaced by the female vocalist singing along the tapestry of sound with a laconic, breathy delivery with a deep and lush cadence that goes well along the music. Also, the vocals add layer and depth to the song, since Shoegazer music isn’t about great vocal performances. 0:39- The guitar makes an appearance with single-note melodies rich with reve...

Love, let me sleep tonight On your couch.. And remember the smell And the fabric Of your simple city dress.. Oh... That was so real Oh... That was so real Oh... That was so real We walked around'til the moon got full Like a plate.. And the wind blew an invocation And I fell asleep At the gate.. And I never stepped on the cracks 'cause I thought I'd hurt my mother And I couldn't awake from the nightmare That sucked me in And pulled me under Pulled me under Oh... That was so real Oh... That was so real Oh... That was so real I love you.. But I'm afraid to love you I Love you But I'm afraid to love - you... I'm afraid... Oh... That was so real ..real real real... Oh...

The beef on popular Korean films: 1. Funny. 2. The girl comes from a relatively poor family, and usually works hard to make ends meet. However, she has an infectious and bubbly personality despite her disposition. The guy, on the other hand, is filthy rich, spoiled and arrogant, and either a campus heartthrob, or an ass-kicking gang leader of some sort who always gets into fights for no apparent reason. Opposites attract, I guess… 3. Characters always frequent videoke bars, and they always drink. A lot. 4. Over-the-top cheesy "love moments", saccharine storyline… 5. …but it works! The best I've seen so far... my little bride

Phoughts to Tonder From now on, every time I hear or see Within Temptation, two words spring to mind: dry humping. Don't ask. I had my impacted, lower rightmost tooth removed. The first few hours were manageable although I really feel my jaw swelling. But after the anesthesia wore off, it started to hurt like a barbed-wire poking up my asshole. Moral of the story: when the time comes that your wisdom tooth starts to hurt, and you think you need to have it removed, don't. I rekindled my confusing and depressing high school life when I borrowed World Coming Over by Type O Negative from my friend. Another two words: total ownage...
