ANGER
1. Who did you last get angry with? Probably my mom
2. What is your weapon of choice? If I had to choose one, I'd say baseball bat
3. Would you hit a member of the opposite sex? Hit... or HIT ON?
4. How about of the same sex? If they did something terrible, I just might
5. Who was the last person who got really angry at you? I have no idea
6. What is your pet peeve? People that have cats. (hahahaha, PET peeve, hahahah... ahem)
7. Do you keep grudges, or can you let them go easily? It all depends on the situation of course.

If there wasn't a single person on earth that even had thought of the idea of "god", could there possibly be one? That is a good question, although personally I don't beleive in god anyways, but it's a good question for religious folk. Here is something even better for your mind to play around with, there are so many religions in the world and all of them (that I can think of) say they are the one and only right religion. So let's just say for the sake of my speech, that there are a hundred religions (though in reality there are waaaay more). This would mean that even if one of them WAS right, you still have a 99% of picking the WRONG one anyways. I have nothing against christians or people of any religion, but that's just stuff to think about. Speaking of religion, I have decided that I will post my sinning status, one sin a day, for the next 7 days. Starting tomorrow, it's sin week! You'll see...

"No sense, No God
Ain't it beautiful to be alive?
Yeah, right"

Today I bought T.S.O.L.'s "Weathered Statues" album. It is my favorite album of all time and I can't beleive it's taken me this long to get. I used to have a burnt copy, but I lost it after awhile. Oh yeah, I recently found out that Slayer covered one of the songs off this album and put it on their cover album. I'm very curious to hear it.

Is there any SOLID evidence that Hawaii actually exists?
I can barely stand 7 seconds of country music, but I would be curious to hear the country music of 7 Seconds (if they made country music). My saying may not be very clever... or make much sense... but I can assure you, it IS backwards!

So I heard that starting tomorrow people can have lawsuits filed against them for sharing music online... I really hope that's not true. Damn corporate execs. I havn't met one musician that didnt want their music to be exposed to more people... except Lars Ulrich... who's music is already widely known... and I havn't met him... but still. Stupid Lars, he takes some time out of his busy day of swimming in his olympic pool of gold goins just to complain about how his financial life is so unfair because kids can download Metallica songs on the internet, it's so sad huh Lars?

If any of my bands ever release a live album, I'll make it the first live album NOT to have some kind of pun about the word 'live'.... wait scratch that. How about "Live and Kickin'"? Damn it! I've fallen into the trend. Oh well.
I've decided to post some links to articles. I know they are from CNN, but they are worth reading.
This one makes me want to hurt people... seriously

If somebody commited suicide by jumping off a building or something, broke their legs, and fell into a coma (heh.. fell). Would you wait for them to wake... or pull the plug? You'd say wait for them to wake of course, but thats the wrong answer! I mean, if somebody hated two-legged life enough to jump off a building, what the hell makes you think they would somehow love no-legged life! Think these things through! And oh yeah, drive carefully.
If you ever happen to go on a shooting rampage, here is a good tip. Take one bullet out of the cartrige, or clip, or barrel, whatever the hell it is. If somebody (the police most likely) counts the bullets fired, they know how many you have to shoot until you are empty and they can approach you. Now if there is one missing, you can never reach that ammount now can you? Damn I'm a genious.

People always tell me "bass is so much easier than guitar". I just say "you arn't playing a hard enough bass line".

Earlier today I had to paint this fence for my dad. It was pretty hot, so I borrowed his african safari hat and wore shades. Also, it was so hot that I decided to cut off the sleaves of my shirt. My arms are so white under the sleaves and it was ridiculous, I just painted away. People kept looking at me when they went by, I looked damn goofy.

I've thought about this, and I think that VGS takes the cake for having the most hardcore mosh-pits of the shows I've been to. Of course, it has to do with the venue, the people there, the amount of people there and all that, but still, it's surprising that they would be at the top of that list. I mean, I've seen Choking Victim, Bad Religion (older songs are FAST), and lots of other fast as hell bands, but somehow, VGS's pits were hardercorererer. The first time I saw em was the most I have gotten hurt at any show. I had my own arm thrown into my face and got a fat lip, I was thrown onto the floor and wrecked my knees, and somebody was thrown into me from across the room and wrecked my unit! Ouch, that one really sucked. I think that the energy and feeling from ska, mixed with the speed and roughness of punk, makes a ska-core band such as VGS have intense pits. "It's the formula for fun!" (I even made my theory have it's own slogan)

OK, I have crazy coincidences all the time, but here is one for today: Remember the post that I posted earlier today about how the "DK Kennedys" (aka unDead Kennedys) suck? Well I just got this email from the AT newsletter that has articles on the Jello vs. Ex-Dead Kennedys trials and also a letter from a DK fan that was (like many) appaled by the performance of the "DK Kennedys" because of their playing and their pro-War rants. You can read this at

I thought it was kinda weird that I JUST mentioned that a few hours before getting an email on it. Oh yeah, and the person who wrote the first letter was named Greyson!
Damn it. I am one of the many people suckered into buying a "Misfits" cd after Danzig had left the band. I heard the "American Psycho" song and thought it wasn't bad, so I decided to get a post-Danzig Misfits cd (I knew it was post-Danzig, but thought I should try it anyways). BAAAD move. "American Psycho" is the only song I can even stand. That cd sucks so much and is nothing like the real Misfits at all. I hate when bands get to keep the old name (like TSOL, which was a much worse case because they eventually kept replacing not only the singer, but just about every member till the band had NO (or close to no) origional members and they released a cd under the TSOL name!). Or how the DKKenedys (as they were eventually forced to call themselves half way through the tour) lost Jello Biafra and tour under the same name as "Dead Kennedys". Technicly, they changed their band name, but under fliers and concert tickets it almost always still reads "Dead Kennedys". In some fliers it still even has a picture of Jello on it! Bastards!... Well, at least I wasn't suckered into seeing the UNdead Kennedys when they came here with their new scab singer Brandom Cruz, bastards. But I still am pissed about those damn Misfits. I feel so used!

Guess what I learned today: I found out there was a band called the "Origional Surfaris". Apparently they came BEFORE the now famous "Surfaris" of which we all know for their song "Wipeout"... but they had to change their name after the OTHER Surfaris got their big hit. It's sad really. Especially since they were a neat band and had an AWESOME name.
OK, I am back home now from my grandparent's house. Speaking of Australia (from my last post), I actually talked to some girl in a chat room (yes, I was THAT bored) the other day who lives in Australia. I gave her a test to make sure she was ACTUALLY from Australia, and she passed. You see, I used to have a best friend who lived in Australia, so I knew all kinds of stuff about it like the phrases and stuff. Anyways, I told her about how I saw a kangaroo the other day (which I really did!), but she eventually got mad and left when I kept trying to get her to tell me which way the water drains (here it is counter-clockwise). Oh well.

My new goal is to post something on this site everyday for at least the next 3 days. Oh yeah, I will be out of town tomorrow and the next day... so I don't have to do it for those two days. Uhh.... I'm tired. Gnight (or if you're in Australia, Gday!).
Debut albums are always so good. I think this has to do with the band deciding that they finally are ready to make an album (songs good enough, etc.). They wouldn't want to record an album until they have a lot of songs and experience in most cases, and with a lot of songs to choose from, it would only make sense to choose the best ones. Labels might play a part in this as well, as debut albums are usuall on indy, small, or self-owned labels. Obviously, this would enable the band to basicly do... whatever the shit they want! And we all know that's where the best music comes from.
Umm.... I just started the blogging thang. I have so much cool stuff to say all the time, you don't even know! Well, I guess you will... sometime... maybe.
