Cowards die many times before their deaths

The valiant never taste of death but once.

WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE, Julius Caesar

Fair to 10 Years

If you recently saw my music post you think my song taste only consist of those kind of bands, but these two band that I have been listening to lately has change my taste a little bit, but I still love brutality in music.

Give a listen to this very beautiful music

Storytime

This song makes me think of black vines following my every move and snow turning black

Fallujah

Fellow lovers of techincal death metal embrace this

Art is Beauty, Beauty is Art

Some say that "Your body is a temple respect it"

I say that "Your body is a canvas embrace it"

Global Flatline

Year 2012 hasn't even started yet and I have much anticipation for the upcoming year. Mainly new albums and movies coming out in the following year. This is currently one of the highest anticipated albums I'm getting my hands come 2012.

These masters of gore, grind, and terror are coming to utah this april and I'm beyond excited!! They released two singles off their upcoming album which gave me a metalgasm. Now I know some of you guys may not like this type of music, but remember this is my blog so ha ;) But, IF you are then listen to these amazing tracks 

Winter Solstice Intentions

Just another thing I wanted to mention about today. So my mom made these cards that read, "Write down your wishes and intentions for the year ahead. Say them silently to yourself. Surrender them to the fire." So the activity was simple just write what you hope to achieve next year on the back of the card then throw it into the fire. At first I thought it was weird, but I did it and made me thought more on what I can do next year.

On the cards I wrote:

I want to be a healthy person with the ability to self love

I wish to control my anger better

I want to go to more concerts

I want to contribute more to society

Then I tossed the cards into the fire and went back to being with my family

Winter Solstice!

Just in case you people didn't know today was the winter solstice. My family actually celebrated it which I thought was pretty cool. Since last year my family kinda stopped celebrating or even caring about Christmas seeing that majority of the family in this house are either Athiests or people with Agnostic ideas about god.

Although to be honest I'm used to saying Merry Christmas to everyone because I'm used to saying it and to me as long as your wishing people to be happy it doesn't make much difference. But, I'm starting to get in the habit of saying Happy Holidays to everyone. 

Being a skeptic and atheist I always am asked so many questions about my beliefs especially at this time of the year. One of them being, "Wait your atheist you can't celebrate christmas can you?". This is usually asked by my christian friends, but I think: "Am I not aloud to celebrate a day with my family with love and care? Am I not aloud to give gifts and just have a day to not worry about life in general? Also Christmas has Germanic Pagan roots that was later adopted by the Christian Church so who are you to ask me that kind of question?"

Plus ever since I cut out religion in my life I never been a happier person. I started to believe in myself more than some "higher power". During hard times I look to family and friends not deities of any sort, and the most highly dysfunctional and messed up families I have seen my whole life have been those affiliated with religion. Therefore I want nothing to do with it nor does the majority of my family. 

But really in the end this is a more peaceful time of the year and usually I try to lower my aggression towards others. Especially the religious nut jobs (aka some of my family and kids from school). People can do their own thing as long as I'm not dragged into their religious delusion aspect of the holiday. 

Christmas Party!

So today I went to one of KresLynn's friend's christmas party and it was...actually really fun o.o This is odd seeing that the person that hosted the party I really didn't like to start with and for numerous reasons.

Luckily though I had one of my best friends/coworker Alex there to keep me company and for a ride ha

On the way we stopped by best in music and bought one of these bad boys

Jackson's are one of my favorite guitars that I highly recommend. I'm terrible with model numbers but this one very closely resembles the one we purchased. Cost about 200$ with standard humbuckers which I thought was a fair deal.

Although this is easily one of my dream guitars.

Very nice model for 2011. Plus it's a B.C. Rich you think ya they have amazing shapes and designs, but can lack the good performance of the pick ups. This one is a special case for me. I noticed that those are EMG pickups which are my favorite for that raw heavy sound that I crave. *sigh* someday....

So after drooling over guitars we finally got to party.

The second I walked in I just thought *I'm just gonna get this over with and just head home* But seeing my kres there really made the night an amazing one :) 

The snow just kept coming down so we got to make a huge fire! Being the pyromaniac that I am I took an advantage of this situation. 

After a long night of stuffing our faces with tacos and candy while playing Just Dance ( which I'm not to bad at btw) I got to go home. Oh ya last thing I found out in a four day span two people I know just had their kid (happy yet sad seeing that their still in high school....) NIGHT!

Cthulhu Day!

Today was another amazing day.

I got to see KresLynn today and she gave me my christmas presents! 

NERD ALERT

This was easily some of the greatest gifts I have ever gotten. With the fact I'm obsessed with the Cthulhu Mythos and Gears of War.

Although my gift to her was just about as nerdy as mine. 

Yep thats right people my girlfriend is into video games. This is just about every guy's dream...

Took me two hours to find all over ebay for a good price, but it was worth it. 

So after I was given my gifts I played Skyward Sword with her for a good couple of hours and I love it! This is easily one of the greatest Zelda games ever made.

After an amazing day with my girl I got to come home and I find Jerica just chilling in my living with Chelsey and other people I was so excited to see her :)

She was one of my first friends from UCAS and I still find her to be an amazing friend to this day :) I found out I have my Physical Science class with her next semester too yes!

Yep life is good.

That's all for now time for skyrim. Peace. 

Nerdsday

Well last night I didn't get to sleep till around four and it's about the same tonight! :D

Although today was pretty amazing with no school and no work

I also just happen to get this in the mail a day early today!

I played this for a good 12+hours and I'm just barely taking a break from it. 

Ya I know I'm a nerd, but hey I had a long semester I think I deserved to be FAT today :)

Christmas is also not too far away which I'm excited for! Just to be with my family and be fat for the day. 

Ya I know I'm athiest and I'm celebrating christmas....which I'll explain tomorrow night! Gotta get back to some skyrim

Black Winter

So I been on my break since last tuesday, but I heavily neglected this blog (sadly) due to my other contributions to this other website a friend and I created.

This month is a month of cheer, but also a month of grim for some (like me). 

I remember when my grandpa died and how horribly devastated I was knowing he was gone.

Also two men who inspire me musically were taken away from us this time of the year

Dimebag Darrel (August 20, 1966-December 8, 2004)

This heavy metal legend who played for Pantera and Damageplan was shot and killed on stage during a Damageplan concert by crazed fan Nathan gale. He is greatly missed by the heavy metal community and those who knew him personally. I remember back in 7th grade when I started listening to Pantera and how much energy flowed through their amazing albums. Sadly no more tunes by this man will be created. We will never forget you Dimebag.

Chuck Schuldiner ( May 13, 1967-December 13, 2001)

Known as "The Father of Death Metal". Chuck Schuldiner started Death which put Death in Death Metal (say that 10x fast). The man was the singer, songwriter, and guitarist for the band. He was a genius who created a whole new sub-genre of Metal. His music came into my life in 9th grade when I was looking for heavier bands and this guy instantly grabbed my attention. Sadly though he died in his fight against brain cancer. 

I will never forget these guys as long as I live.

Makes me wish the talent-less "musicians" of this time would of died off instead of these guys...
