The Last Post

Here. For now. I've set up a new email account and rather than try and go through this Google sites ridiculous settings to try and figure out how to transfer control of this page over to my new email, I'm just going to start over. I'll make the first post on the new Song of The Day blog a link to this old page, and probably include the link in a couple posts after that. Most likely until I get everything transferred over to my new email address. So you want some songs? Here's a little farewell playlist that will be entirely off the top of my head (which means it'll pretty much be the last ten songs I listened to before coming to the library.)
Ridiculous by Bowling For Soup
Paralyzed by The Used
Dark Blue by Jack's Mannequin
Devils Dance Floor by Flogging Molly
Two Weeks by All That Remains
Bleed It Out by Linkin Park

See you soon! Hopefully.

Photograph

The Song of The Day is Photograph by Def Leppard. Not sure why actually, I just get a good vibe from the song today.

Scream, Aim, Fire

The Song of The Day is Scream, Aim, Fire by Bullet For My Valentine. This is the song you want to listen to when you're pissed off. A great time to play this song is when you're pissed off, doing a high level boss raid in Borderlands 2, and have nobody else home. Unfortunately, I'm not legally allowed to be home alone until after I do my days and community service.
I found out today that my hands can no longer play guitar right. I don't know if I'm still in shock from all the bad news received at once (did I mention that my cat went missing as well? Not that that's a big deal, but still. I liked that cat... Sometimes... When he wasn't sticking his claws into my skin. I didn't like him that much during those times.) but the point is I can't play. I can't sing, write, or play guitar anymore. This is one of those times that I think I might've been Hitler in a past life for the universe to be fucking me over this badly.
On the upside, I do have cheesy bread.

Blitzkrieg Boom

Who's ready for a tale of happiness and wonder? Of fate and love? Of Birds, bees, and all that other happy crap? Well you're kind of in the wrong place. I'll bet if you would scroll up and hit that "Next blog" button you'd be on your way to finding it though! I'm kidding please don't leave! I need to views... (apparently I'm ineligible for the whole "make money off your blog" thing because I don't get enough views. So seriously, stay. PLEASE.) Anyway, I had some fun with a tracer program and a Slowpoke Virus today, and one of Rocket's 2 evil exes. The one that supposedly messed with us last Christmas. Has a hell of a time sense that one. I can't wait to dissect his brain and find out how he knows just when to launch another attack.
I was so angry this morning, so ready to just go off and blow some shit up. So The Song of The Day is Blitzkrieg Boom by Death Stars! Such an original name -_-' anyway, this is a song for when you want to kill something peacefully.

Stricken

I feel weak. Several reasons have led to this conclusion, but the main one is this; I can't make a decision without considering how others would feel or react to things. Even with my escape attempt, I was doing that to try and make things better for the people who lived in that house and myself. I knew how they'd react at first, but it's what would have happened after that. They would have rallied together to make sure that my sisters didn't want the same thing. And then there's everything that's going on with Rocket, Gods help me on this. I'll even start believing in Jesus fucking Christ if I have to just to get through this. I just want to fix things. EVERYTHING. Issues at home, issues with friends, issues with Rocket, and issues with myself. I feel that these extra stresses have sped up my ascension to insanity as now I talk to my pets as if they were capable of rational thought. The Song of The Day is Stricken by Disturbed, I have decided to just let my mind drift into the abyss for a couple days and see what happens with all these problems. Since trying to solve them seems to just make them worse, maybe ignoring them will help. (What kind of backwards logic is that???)

Darkness Within (Acoustic)

So, as many of you know already, I'm a lyricist. That means that I write song lyrics with the intention of producing music with them or selling them for profit. Now I'm sure right now a lot of you are thinking "That sounds like the easiest shit ever! I'm gonna go out and write a hit song right now!", if only it was that simple. The Song of The Day is Darkness Within (Acoustic) by Machine Head. It's about music. I'm using this to tell you that it's not easy writing good lyrics, it's especially harder to sell them. You need to have inspiration, a story, a strong beat in your head while you write, luck, and I've been told that hallucinogenic drugs can help a bit too (not that I'd know anything about that.). Overall, it's like a minigame in Life. Not the HASBRO board game, but the metaphor of comparing life to some suck ass game where the general public has literally no hope of ever making it to the last godsdamned square. Fucking rich folk and g-men have all the cards with the matching color-squares (10 points for candyland reference! Somebody should pay me for all this advertising. lolz.). I've probably gone through at least 20 different versions before I submit my best work for criticizing from my friends. And they can be pretty harsh sometimes. But I never give up on a set of lyrics or a song. Even if I'm just working with 2 chords and a single verse, I'll keep going till I'm happy with it, and that's what matters. You don't do this because it's some get-rich-quick plan, you do it because you want to. It's just like writing poetry, only with music behind it and it doesn't take 6 fucking hours in a smokey coffee house to listen to ONE GODSDAMNED STORY (ALL CAPS RAGE ON YOU FUCKING SLOW ASS POETS! LEARN TO SPEAK NORMAL SPEEDS!). I'm just putting the final touches on Rocket's song right now as I copy it into my official songbook. Only my best work goes in the song book. The rest gets incinerated along with any original copies.
I also write music to tell my stories, or to let out all of this pent up rage that builds from my environment. Somebody pisses me off beyond the point of no return, I don't murder them and their entire family out of revenge (although sometimes I wish I had), I write a song. When I have something to say that I couldn't say in a regular conversation, I sing it out in a song. I'm not saying it's for everybody, I'm just saying music has power. Whether it's the music in your ipod, or the music in you.
So Readers, if any of you will answer the fucking question this time, what's your song of the day?

Two Weeks

Ignore the sadness behind the song, and the rage, and the depression, then realize what I'm going to say is true. The Song of The Day is Two Weeks by All That Remains. Not because I'm having more relationship issues, not because I'm dead (as the music video suggests), but because a lot can change in two weeks. Two weeks ago I was a depressed, sad, emo-ish, angry dude. Now I'm chill, content, positive, and ready to take on what the universe has in store for me next. What's changed in your lives over the past two weeks readers? Things going for the better or worse? Two weeks was enough time for me to figure out what was wrong with me, and to learn how to fix it, see if you can do the same if you're going through some trouble. Don't be so stubborn as to believe that it's the rest of the world that needs to change, change your damn self first.

Duality

I'm constantly being told how good of a person I am. How smart I am. How respectful I am. But it's all a lie. I'm not meant to be a perfect kid, or some genius that cures cancer (which in theory is uncurable. Seeing as how cancer is basically just a faulty cell or some failing part of the persons cellular structure, the only actual cure is death.), hell I may not even end up being the Rockstar I want to be, but none of that matters to these people. They only see the good, because that's all that I let them see. They don't see the sides of me that show how messed up in the head I really am. The fact that there's more than one should give a hint! I'm constantly combating these other sides just to make sure I don't say or do something that I'll regret for the rest of my life. Maybe in retrospect I should have tried a little harder to keep all these bad ideas locked away, so uh... My bad. The point is, that no matter how much these people tell me how bright, nice, and good I am it just makes this worse. That I can get away with such a con, deceiving even myself at times, only encourages this. Sure I can be polite to the point where it's like I'm from a different time, but I'm not a good person because of that. I've fucked up a LOT. Getting arrested and expelled are some of the worst things to ever happen to me, but I caused it by being a bad person. My grandmother says that "The path to hell is paved with good intentions", I believe it. My intentions have always damned me. Even if I was just trying to help, or to protect somebody, or even if I was doing what should be considered the right thing, I've always been punished for trying to be a good guy, so in their eyes aren't I the bad guy? I don't know where else I'd go with this, but I think I'm done. The Song of The Day is Duality by Slipknot.

Diamonds Aren't Forever

I really should sleep. But as it goes, "we will never sleep, cuz sleeping's for the weak, and we will never rest till we're all fucking dead!" The song of The Day is Diamond's Aren't Forever by Bring Me The Horizon. So no sleep for me tonight, just sugar, music, and.... Oh shit, I have to sleep tonight. Cuz I've got a day of hardcore gaming planned for tomorrow. Well then, goodnight Readers,

Let Me Hear You Scream

What do you want in life? Doesn't matter, unless you're willing to earn it. To fight for it. Only the strong survive in this world, so you've got to flex your muscles every chance you get (figuratively of course). You've got to scream for it. The Song of The Day is Let Me Hear You Scream by Ozzy Osbourne, from his latest album Scream. If you're gonna go down, go strong, go proud, go hard or go home. If you want something, go for it. Don't just back down. No matter who, or what gets in your way. Your religion doesn't want you to have fun? Fuck it. The state or government says you can't see somebody? Fuck it.
But say your problem can't be blamed on others, or yourself, say somebody has emotional issues, you help them. You don't just leave, you don't give up on them, you stay, you help. Anybody who does otherwise is a douche and should be beaten. Nobody said it'd be easy. Even if they aren't actually an emotional wreck, and they just beat themselves up over nothing, you take their mind off of it. You do whatever you can to make sure they're happy, and you don't make them cry. The moment you cause a single tear to be shed, you've failed them.

Wow I went off topic. Readers, what's your song of the day?

Death To All But Metal

This is the mood I am in. I don't want to hear anything else. Just Metal. Some classic, hardcore, wicked guitar, extra treble, low bass, rolling drums, nothing but the best fucking metal. The Song of The Day is Death To All But Metal by Steel Panther. It's a comedy song, but it get's to the point.

Your Betrayal

Those moments when you know somebody close to you feels guilty about something, but they won't tell you. Then you log onto Facebook and they've told the whole world, and you're just like "You're comfortable telling the whole world when you've done something that you know you shouldn't've, but you won't tell me?" Then you ask them about it and they don't have any reason for it.
Oh well. The Song of The Day is Your Betrayal by Bullet For My Valentine. Love it or gtfo.

Down With The Sickness

Song of The Day is Down With The Sickness by Disturbed. Care to guess why? I'm still sick. Whoa, no way is this the first Disturbed song I've posted here... Apparently it is. WHAT? Even I'm surprised with that. Anyway, I'm sick, can barely breathe, and Rocket isn't online anymore so I'm going to bed.

The Last Fight

The Last Fight, Tears Don't Fall, I knew it would be Bullet For My Valentine Day, aside from the fact that I woke up with Hungry Like The Wolf by Duran Duran stuck in my fucked up little mind. I didn't expect it to be this one though. An overdose would have still been way easier, but then I wouldn't have any more time with Rocket, and that would have not been cool at all. But this should be the last time that I and The Girl combat eachother with verbal arrows, some sharp enough to pierce even her emotional armor... I'm always worried that Rocket will read these things and think that she's a second or something. True, The Girl came first. True, I had feelings for her. But previous events had changed that, and even IF she told the truth and wasn't playing me, I still don't trust her as much as I used to, and the emotion towards her is dead in me, rotting somewhere deep inside the recesses of my twisted soul that I don't have (kinda sounds like a Disturbed song). Rocket, you're not a second. You're not a consolation prize. You're you, and that's all you have to be. I even accept the voices in your head with you ;) Now, I'm going to go waste time on the internet while playing guitar and drowning my thoughts in some old school Black Sabbath (Ozzy's Sabbath) and Motley Crue.
Readers, what's your song of the day? And what's your take on my situation? (not asking if I made the right "Choice", because it wasn't a choice, it was a feeling that I acted upon.)

ABCDEath

I'm sick of people on the internet that can't spell or use proper grammar. Granted I make a few mistakes sometimes, but when evrythng u typ coms out like ths it's rlly fcking irritating! So todays song is a comedic-metal version of the alphabet. ABCDEath by Psychostick. Lyrics? Here you go.


Alright, motherfucker
It's time to go old school
So put on your thinking caps
And get ready
To fuck shit up

Now I know

Those are the letters of the alphabet, and the numbers on the number line. Note that it is not okay to substitute nu8m3rs 4 l3tt3rs 0r w0rd5 l1k3 1'm d01ng n0w. Unless you have a legitimate excuse, like a broken keyboard. The music video has words and pictures to help you remember the letters. Unfortunately my computer refuses to load youtube.com right now so you'll have to look the video up on your own. In other news. I started packing up all my stuff in boxes for our big move in three weeks. I also got a new hard case for my electric guitar. It has a compartment for my cords and small amp. I keep all my picks in there too (in a small bag so they don't get lost.) My suitcase is packed with a weeks worth of clothes. Selling a bunch of crap I found in boxes I hadn't opened in 2 years, but that's irrelevant. Song of The Day is ABCDEath by Psychostick.

Let There Be Rock

In the beginning
Back in nineteen fifty five
Man didn't know 'bout a rock 'n' roll show
'N all that jive
The white man had the schmaltz
The black man had the blues
No one knew what they was gonna do
But Tschaikovsky had the news, he said

Let there be light, and there was light
Let there be sound, and there was sound
Let there be drums, there was drums
Let there be guitar, there was guitar, ah
Let there be rock

And it came to pass
That rock 'n' roll was born
All across the land every rockin' band
Was blowin' up a storm
And the guitar man got famous
The business man got rich
And in every bar there was a superstar
With a seven year itch
There was fifteen million fingers
Learnin' how to play
And you could hear the fingers pickin'
And this is what they had to say

Let there be light, sound, drums, 'n guitar, ah
Let there be rock

One night in a club called the Shakin' Hand
There was a 42 decibel rockin' band
And the music was good
And the music was loud
And the singer turned and he said to the crowd

Let there be rock

A friend and I were discussing the evolution of music. what we came up with was this. It all came from the Blues. From the blues came Country and Rock. The only two that seemed to branch out and continue to live. Rock grew into many subgenres and stuck it's metaphorical roots into every possible industry and type of music we have today. Country just sat there. Not changing that much. Getting louder and more drunk. Let me go off on why Rock is superior for a second. What are all country songs about? If sang by a guy, it's about beer, chicks, God, or their family. If it's sang by a chick, it's about a guy. And what has country music given the nonreligious people or those that don't drink or don't have a relationship? Headaches from shitty music. So I say, Let There Be Rock. Because rock music has evolved, has progressed. From all around the world people have listened and translated and bettered the music. Go anywhere in the world and all the country music will sound the same. Some foreign shit came on and sounded almost exactly like a Toby Keith song (with the exception of the language barrier). But go somewhere else in the world and they'll have their own kind of Rock music not overly similar to what you listen to but just enough to be in the same genre. Example, why is it called Norwegian Black Metal? Because it's from Norway and it doesn't sound like American Black Metal. We have more of a selection in Rock than you do in Country. "Oh well Johnny Cash..." Johnny Cash was considered Rock music in his time. Another testament to our evolution through the years. I almost attacked my best friend for calling the Eagles Country music. Somebody tried bringing up the Beatles. Apparently they were rock too. But their music was shitty and insulted the genre. It's like Seperating Sci-fi from Horror. Eventually though, it all comes together. A Country Rocker. Now I don't know what you think about him, but the only station I ever hear Kid Rock's music on is a country station. Which disappoints me. I feel he has more of a rough Rock sound than country but that's just my opinion. So yeah. Song of The Day is Let There Be Rock by AC/DC. Can't believe this is the first AC/DC song on here. WOW.

Dignity

Apparently I've never posted a Bullet song on here before. Song of the week is Dignity by Bullet For My Valentine. Say what you will about the band, I don't give a fuck, I like the songs. Unless your answering the usual question or you have something important to say, piss off. I'm kidding, I don't really care who reads this (unless your my grandparents, then I'm sorry and I encourage you to vacate the page immediately) But anyway, look up the song, it's really good, and I still haven't figured out why my mind says this is the Song of The Week.
