| Is this thing still living? |
[Apr. 15th, 2008|11:26 am] |
Looking back at things, I really do wish I would write here weekly. I mean, why not? I guess because I don't have the time, and because I just don't know what to say.
Well, let's see...since last entry, I have found a job (YAY!) selling books, and it's pretty awesome. I've also started college at an art school, which...ehhhh....isn't to awesome. I mean, it's a great community and I will possibly look back on it as a great experience, but the work-load is tough, and all of this still-life drawing is making me LOATHE drawing...which I loved doing before. Not good? Oh well....gotta stick with it!
Yeah, right now I need to be working on writing a 4-page paper but just keep procrastinating. It's due tomorrow...hmmm
In all seriousness I think going to college is good for me. I mean, I'll get a degree and maybe find a good career with it.
One other thing that always makes me say "it's going to be okay, don't drop out now" is the fact that I co-host a metal radio show via the college. \m/ it's awesome. I absolutely love doing it, my co-host is awesome, and...it's awesome.
Aside from that I'm still trucking along with the love of my life, my sweet beautiful angel of a girlfriend :) We go through some rough times, but who doesn't? It just makes us stronger. I also have a bunch of other little personal problems, but oh well, who doesn't? We'll see where they lead and how I solve them.
Alright, well, I have to get back to that paper. ...because I have two other drawing projects to do after it :P Later folks (if anybody will read this) ~ Metal-Matt |

Well, I FINALLY got some userpics up! lol
And, I fixed the scheme of my LJ, and got some awesome little foxes for my smiley's ^^
I mean, no giant update. I didn't sit down and take the time to read up on my HTML skills, buy a plus (or pro, or whatever) account, and make everything all ~*pretty*~
*throws up*
I don't use this place enough for that kind of stuff.
I kind of wish I did. I NEED TO! lol
Well, yep. I hope you'll be seeing a lot more posts down the road. Can't make any promises DX |

they're never used.
Unless I just have to bitch and bitch and bitch like mad, which...well, that's just mean. I don't want to fill a journal with anger.
Because that's not me!
and even if it is.
we all can change.
I believe that.
I have hope for everyone.
heh ^^
so everyone should be happy, w0rd?
Just be happy. And don't worry about tomorrow.
love, peace, and metal! ~ A.K. |

| | Children Of Bodom - Touch Like Angel Of Death | ] | Today was a farely easy day
got my outline for that bloody paper turned in, and I got two days to turn the actual paper in. I'm still kind of depressed over another factor I don't want to mention quite yet, because I might be getting worked up over nothing. But everyone is still freaking over-worked feeling, and just, tired as hell. One of my good friends who's a teacher at my school asked me today: "Matt, can you sit down for 10 seconds without freaking out?" "pssht! no!" I mean everyone is complaing I heard the art teacher say she wanted a permanent break and everything. lol we're all so angry at working that we'd rather rebel! |

| | Alice In Chains - Nutshell/ Iron Maiden - Wasting Love | ] | oh man, when I think about school, I just want to sleep. I just don't care anymore. It's gotten to that point.
I think maybe it's because we were over-worked on the DC trip? they had SO MANY damn activites jam-packed into ONE day that we were just worn out, and a day seemed to go on FOREVER! oye it was horrible and then we got back, and everyone's like "PAPER, YOU OWE ME RESEARCH PAPER!" and we're all like "GAH! screw you mother fucker, let me sleep!"
so yeah, this research paper I'm doign was due like friday? I MADE my teacher just get me my research today, and I don't evenm have to turn in the paper tomorrow, just an outline. >_< like... I know I just osund lazy...but there's just alot of shit that happened, and we need a frigin break man! oye vey! |

| | The Blood Brothers - Peacock Skeleton with Crooked Feathers | ] | tomorrow I head off for good ol' Washington D.C.
*woo hoo*
I'm VERY excited, let me tell ya. *rolls eyes*
I just hope I will enjoy it loads better than last year, and that my little brother will like it as well, since he gets to go this year; since he's in the high school.
I'm really looking forward to the Native American museum since I find that area of culture so intrigueing. ^_^
umm...let's see...aside from that, I picked up some Death Angel, and stocked it into my Zen Touch MP3 player to listen to on the plane trip up there, so I should be good.
as for the song I'm listening to, I'm not one for Emo, or punk, but The Blood Brothers have some stuff that catches my ear. My best friend, Billy listens to them alot, and this song just rocks. (see post info) |

| | Iron Maiden - Rainmaker | ] | Tonight was my grandparent's retirment ceremony, and boy was it a long night. I left early with my sister, and got home at 11:30-ish. Once she left I had the house to myself. I changed out of my suit, turned on the tv to see if anything was on (hah, like that could happen) moved back to my computer and sat in the dark as I listened to a particular song.
The song is "Hours of Wealth"(Opeth), and I honestly love it to death.
One can get some strange points of views out of sitting alone in the dark. I'm not saying I got scared, but I almost find it extremely welcoming at times, especially with that song, I was able to think, and just felt relaxed, and had no worries at all.
Cheers, and good night. |

| | Metallica - Invisible Kid | ] | Although the new Metallica album St. Anger is raved to ebing the most horrible thing on this planet, I enjoy a few of the song,s bu tI have to be really pissed off to REALLY get into it.
To the point where I don't care about poetics and melodics, just to where if it sound angry enough and has a good groove, I love it.
the song "Invisible Kid" is a PERFECT example.
I'm having alot of relationship problems, and as usual, I'm depressed.
and, what do depressed people do? they either talk or whine about it
Life is tough, thats all I got to say.
You ever sit there and you plan something, and you can do it, and it's all you want to do, and all your gunna do? and then, the next day, something comes and tears it apart out of no-where?
Yeah...life sucks.
And it's supposed to be that way..
but you got to survive, yo uhave to adapt to it, an dmake yourself happy withotu corruption.
In the end...life rocks. |

| | Iron Maiden: Judas Be My Guide | ] | Well..this thing's just been sitting here for a while...
I suppose I should get a friend to help me "spice it up a notch"
I'll dot hat later..
Anyways....
I've been just fooling around on my guitar alot, thinking about recording something to show my friend Dan how my guitar sounds, just for fun.
Been playing lots of Death (of course) some Helloween, mainly the classic: Gorgar; and oddly enough, last weekend I really got back into Opeth and was fooling around with various acoustic parts from To Bid You Farewell, Black Rose Immortal, Closure, and The Drapery Falls I believe.
what I've been listening to? LOTS of Helloween. woke up yesterday, made a playlist of the Keeper saga (Halloween, Follow The Sign, Keeper7Keys, King1000years,light the universe, and my life for one more day)and later on just busted out Walls of Jericho, and rocked out to that.
on Thursday and Friday I had been listening to a Believer album "Sanity Obscure" (GREAT album) and an Accept song: "Fast As a Shark", which is as good as 80's thrash as you can get.
I've been reading up alot on Cynic as well...man do I love those guys.
turns out, Individual Thought Patterns (Death) was supposed to be recorded with Sean Reinert again on drums, but due to Sean Malone's house (I think it was his house)being destroyed because of a hurricane, the Cynic rehearsing grounds were destroyed. So Chuck hired Gene Hoglan instead.
Don't get me wrong! I love Gene on Individual and Symbolic! But just thinking about Sean Reinert adding his "cynical" touch to at least one more Death album would have been insane!
well, that's my metal rant of the day, I should probably go shower or something. Up The Irons! or in the words of Helloween: UP YER PUMPKINS! |
