advertisment.................................

I personally have never really been disappointed by a product that failed to meet expectations most due to the fact that I buy CD's, band shirts and that's about it. It's pretty hard to screw up those two products so I guess I'll just rant about advertisments in general that I find ridiculous or asinine. First of all, the commercials for children's toys and trinkets and whatnot. I can see millions of white, spoiled, suburban kiddies being disappointed by the toy they got that in the commercial was being attacked by an animated dragon, it's plastic shell barely being charred by the flames, Then when they play with it, it breaks if you stare at it too hard and that's how they get 'em, they make the commercial exciting with bright colours and lights to confuse the child so they can annoy their miserable parents to buy it, which they do to shut the little brat up and whoop, there goes $80 that could have been spent on, I don't know, food. The second is commercials for Victoria's Secret, esspecially around Christmas time. When they come on I think to myself "is this advertisment or soft-core porn?" They just zoom up on the chick's chest and believe me, no one is thinking about how nice the fabric looks on that specific piece of undergarment (well at least guys). Now you might be wondering why I said "esspecially around Christmas time", well it's because of the slogan "there's no gift like one from Victoria's Secret", yeah that just makes me want to go out and randomly buy my gal pal a thong, isn't that just sweet. Which leads me to the finale of my rant and this one really brings my piss to a boil. Male enhancement pills. That just opens the flood gates of my rage. Why? Because it's pretty much saying "guys, no matter what, you'll never be good enough in any way, shape or form, so buy this so you're at least passable." Woman complain constantly and say things like we need to except them for who they are and to find beauty past the flesh, but guys? nope we can be rebuilt to adhere to their standards of attractiveness, what a load of anal waste. So I think you can tell, advertisers suck ass, to put it bluntly.

How........................................

This little blog shall be a How To survival guide for metal conecerts/festivals, or How To Survive a Metal Concert/Festival if you want a proper title. Surviving a metal show is actually very simple if you're not some pansy who talks a lot of smack and leaves behind a trail of brown fluid running down your pant leg when someone calls you out. First of all, you need to pick the right outer wear (sounds pointless and lame, I know but it's necessary), usually just a black band tee works the best, but keep it metal, everyone is going to kick your ass if you go to a Vital Remains concert with a Katy Perry t-shirt on. Also, if you plan on going in the pit (moshpit, the area near the front/middle of the crowd where people push/shove/punch/kick/knock eachother over, just saying for anyone who is thick), don't wear glasses, especially sun glasses. Chances are they'll get knocked off and crushed by some chuncky bastard's fat foot and if it's sun glasses in an indoor venue, well you'll be coughing them up later in the night. Now if you're of age to be able to legally purchase alcohol, don't be that moron who brings their beer with them into the crowd and has their man-period when someone accidentally spills it. Now the one thing I can not stress enough to not do at a metal show, is god-damn-mother-Fing hardcore dancing. It is the most idiotic action you can perform at a show and it does nothing but make you look like a jackass and become the target of several of the most dedicated headbangers to use as human punching bag, I've seen it happen and it is hilarious. The finally tip I can give is don't take things overly serious, people are going to get knocked in to you if you're near the front, it's going to be crowded and obviously a very strong scent of an illegal mood-altering substance will be in the air. Most metalheads are very friendly and ready to chat it up, so have fun and don't hardcore dance...

Single-awareness-day...........................

My personal thoughts and feelings towards this particular holiday are the same as they have been for several years, it's pointless and redundant. Why is it that we are supposed to show more emotion on one specific date of the year than any other time? Am I allowed to stab someone the next day if I tell someone that I "wuv them". No, it's just an excuse to guilt trip your significant other in to purchasing you something nice and red so that big budget companies can profit off of these insecurities and doubts if someone truly cares about you. That is just a basic and logical point of view but how I really feel about it deep down is I don't care, it's just another day of the year to me. My birthday means nothing to me, Christmas means nothing to me, so why should I give a damn about Valentine's Day (or Signle-awareness-day as I refered to it in the title). If you enjoy it, fine, if you want to throw money away on someone who's probably going to screw you over in a few weeks, fine, just don't bother me with it, I'm too busy watching Breaking Bad and eating a sandwich.

Yeah that says it better in a few words than I did in a paragraph.

celebrity.................................................

Honestly, it's hard to say as I have never been in a situation that has similar circumstances, so I can't really give an accurate answer. I can, however, say that it would be a neat experience for a short while. Just to have a little taste of the spotlight and the privileges that come with such. The constant attention on the other hand is a bit more difficult to say, as I am not a fan of having my photo taken right now let alone when there's fifteen to twenty creeps with cameras shoved in my face. I would go down-right ballistic. Plus just the stress of being known by everyone and not being left alone to my own activities for more than eight minutes of walking out the front door, but these scenarios I have listed are more of the mainstream celebrities' issues. I myself being more the metalhead variety would have a different sort of fame. More underground and reclusive, no need for cameras and screaming fans trying to steal whatever you touch to sell on eBay, and more importantly, no need to impress with fashion and scandals. In the metal community you don't find many problems with the fans, except for those very few insufferable dumbasses that flail their arms around pretending to be ninjas, other than that most fans are respectful, easy-going and calm around both eachother and the bands themselves. So if I was to have any form of fame, I think I'll stick with a more underground fame so that I'll be able to retain some sanity, and not have a picture of me poopin plastered in the paper, it sounds weird but it has happened, creepy bush fiend photographers...

You know why the paparazzi don't stalked and photograph metal musicians.

Cause the would get snapped in half.

lyrics............................

The lyrics I have chosen are Rock Lobster by The B-52's for one and only one reason. It's random and stupid. End of story.

apocalypse..........?

To be completely blunt, I think the idea that the world will end on December 21st, 2012 is a load of anal waste. However I'll be more specific than just that and explain a little bit of why I feel such a way. For one, the end of the world has been predicted several times before and guess what? We're still here. Secondly, the Mayan calender ends on that date because they believed it was the end of this era and the next begins on that day, it's like buying a new calender for the upcoming year. Finally, I'm not going to believe what a race that died out how long ago because they're technology fell behind has to say about an apple peeler let alone the apocalypse. Now what I would do on December 20th if this event was to occur would be whatever I had not yet exprienced at the time. I don't mean something like climb Mount Everest or swim down to the Marianas Trench. I mean going to a store that I've passed several times but never been in, play a sport or game that I've never tried or just express my feelings to those who matter i.e. everyone I despise, with a hammer... This is essentially all I would do, just to give my life some closure rather than have all these great expectations that wouldn't possibly be able to be met in a single day.
