Cover-Up

Just decided to post 'cause that last post was quite an eyesore to me. Anyways, I've been enjoying the holidays, not much that I can write specifically about 'cause there's just way too much and I don't know where to begin. And also there's been so much drama under the radar it's just annoying. Imagine waking up to a FB inbox that's just overflowing.

Crap.

But enough of that shit... Well, hm... I suppose I could tell you what's been happening so far... Let's see, I've went to Williamtown's beach. Got a few pics there. I am not aware of how much people can view the albums on Facebook. I will try to get the original copies when I do, and post them up, especially the photos of the beheaded penguin! =D

I went for 2012 again, and it's still awesome, yeap. Oh, I've been practicing a lot on the guitar, but that's just for bass, but I have to say... on this matter. I have to confess that I started learning not because I liked it. I mean, come on, who wants to start learning BASS? I just thought, ah, that's simple, just picking with your fingers, no big deal, I'll get famous if I keep at it, no worries. Boy, was I wrong.

Done a few gigs and injured myself each and every time 'cause my fingertips just weren't ready for the torture it took for many days in a row, practicing for gigs. And I only practiced, 'cause I needed to.

But now, I have to thank Bob, he has inspired me to play for the sake of fun, not because there's a gig to be done or a chick to impress, but just for fun, for your self-satisfaction and I gotta say, it's been a whole new, much more enriching experience than all the other times around that I have picked up a guitar. So, thanks man, and also to the other dudes that I've been playing with that has indirectly spurred me onto this path. Palm, Eric and to a much lesser degree, Gerry.

Crap, wanted to share a few videos of this new band my friend introduced to me called Infected Mushroom... It's not a band per say, since it's just 2 dudes, and their music has been described as psytrance. Yeah, some techno junk, but it's real tight man. Check it.

Peace.

Dear My Neighbor

Dear Neighborino,

I understand that sometimes I play my music a bit too loudly but that is only because I'm in the zone, playing bass and I sometimes need to hear the timing of the notes. The other times I'm pounding the techno and R&B loudly is because I am getting high on the music. I realize since you're mainland Chinese, I am most probably disturbing your conversations of disgustingly slurred and contorted so-called Mandarin with your "homies" back in red country.

I duly apologize if I have woken you up from your slumber, especially if I do so in the middle of the night, more so when it's past midnight. I have acknowledged your displeasure especially when you start pounding furiously on the wall when the music gets too loud so I turned it down.

However, I do not see a problem when I slightly raise the notch during the day time, especially around noon and late afternoon when I am not disturbing your slumber.

Therefore, before I leave, I am going to raise the notch the whole god damn day and when you knock that wall, I will knock back with a beat matching the rhythm of the song I am currently listening to until it finishes. God help you if you start knocking during the beginning of a Tiesto song or a Slipknot song because I will start hammering the wall with a damn steel pole if I have to get the right beats.

I hope YOU stop being such a douchebag and knock that shit everytime I turn it up ONE DECIBEL.

So help you God if you ever come knocking my door wanting a face to face 'cause the only face you're gonna get is the blunt edge of my bleeding bokken into your bleeding face.

Peace,

Your Disgruntled Neighbor

2012

Monk: Oh. Fuck.

Okay. First off. I can't say 2012 is THE most anticipated disaster movie of 2009 'cause I've been seriously out of touch with the masses' opinions but I gotta say that 2012 is one of those rare non-summer gems of a movie.

It's almost a typical disaster movie set up in the beginning. Unknown people discovering that something is horribly wrong with the planet. Government starts setting up shady aftermath plans and shit like that.

Alright, if you're looking for a storyline, go watch 500 Days of Summer. This's not for you. C'mon. It's a disaster movie. The CGI is brilliant in the sense that it really does it's job of providing the presence of real danger to the characters in the story more so than other disaster movies.

Plus, the sight of California sinking into the ocean is pretty tight.

There is seriously not much to say except to keep praising the CGI, the nice touches of action in the movie and suprisingly, some of the more human emotions and instincts that are potrayed wonderfully by the characters in times of danger. There're no superficially insane guys threatening to end everybody else's lives 'cause he's a super-religious fanatic. The Mist, anyone? Also, I love the Bentley part. You'll see.

Ol' Spiky's Rating: 4/5 It sits on top of the disaster movie food chain right next to Lusa. Heard that it was directed by the same bloke. Can't be bothered to check IMDB or Wikipedia but who cares.

Anyhoo... been to another anime convention yesterday and this time in costume. Those who have me on MSN have probably had a sneak preview, those who don't, it's coming soon. Going today to the beach as a cameraman for two lovely ladies. I am praying hard for toples sunbathing chicks and itty bitty two piece swimsuits. Altogether now, give me a Quagmire giggity.

GIGGITY.

Peace.
