Today's video sharing spawned from linking Mr. Douchebag to a friend. (Technically it started with finding Humpty Dance, but whatever...) Started listening to other Your Favorite Martian songs, and came across this one. It is definitely a fun one. Reminds me of songs back in the day, like the Humpty Dance, that were funny and you could still dance to them. Why can't we get back to making this type of stuff popular? I'm kinda sick of bands and singers that just want to portray a "thug/snobby bitch/I'm a tough motherfucker" kind of bullshit attitude. It's all about their image, and has shit to do with the music.
So... /mini rant off. /music on
Bloggity blog and such
Posting just to post.
What I've been up to:
- SWTOR
- VtM
- Six Underground + Philly
- Thinking of chainmaille projects
- Trying to not punch people at work
- Attempting to reign in the psychotic nature that warps my brain daily
Doesn't make sense to you? Meh. Deal with it.
The Path to Fucking Awesome
Today wasn't too bad at work. Lots to do. Trying to ignore stupid people as always. (It's the holiday season, so stupid is running wild.) This thought struck me halfway through the morning...
Korn.
The Path of Totality.
OOH!
Released today. Bought today. :)
I thoroughly enjoyed the two songs released to the radio. Get Up! and Narcissistic Cannibal are fantastic. The rest of the album did not disappoint. More dubstep. Yay! After frustrations with updating Itunes and my Ipod... I actually sat and listened to the entire album. As in, I didn't do anything else. Usually when I get a new cd, I'll load it up and have it playing while doing something else. Right away I was amazed. Just sat and listened. (Ok, so eventually later on I was dancing too, but still...)
Now, even just a quick search on Twitter revealed mixed reviews. Some people loved it, some people couldn't stand it. Standard for any new release. However, I always want to smack the "fans" that say they refuse to buy something new because it's "not what the band is like". Bullshit and fuck you. Are you in the band? No. Do you have a say in what they play/make? Fuck no. Go back to your 'scared of new things' box and shut the fuck up.
Personally, I love when bands evolve. I love it when they try something different. It shows artistic creativity, and allows them to improve their skills. What's that? Korn is already a success? Yeah, and? That doesn't mean that they can't change and grow... If you constantly produce the same thing over and over, well, it gets boring as fuck. I mean, if you like a certain song or album, then go ahead and listen to that one. Just don't expect a band to keep pumping out the same shit to please you. Real artists take risks. Bands that create repetitive and "trendy" music to appease the masses are fueled by money and horrid music industry marketing reps.
Korn has gained more respect from me. I've liked their music before, but damn do I love this new album. It reminds me of when I bought the last Linkin Park cd, A Thousand Suns. Always liked the band, and they went in a new direction with it, which turned out amazing.
Hurray for musical experimentation that breeds fucking awesome stuff. :D
Sick of this
Getting really sick of my brain taking me in directions that I don't want to go in... Stupid people sending me into a rage. Spending several minutes thinking about an argument that will never happen. /sigh Why does my brain have to create conflict, especially when I know I'll never truly confront these people? Stray comments that send me into a depression. Fuck. I hate that. Really don't need to sit and think about how I'm not attractive or desirable right before bed. And no, it's not like comments are even about me. I don't expect them to be. It's just sad that I can't escape them even when overhearing or reading someone else's conversation. To make things worse, I'm actually jealous of characters that I've created for my story. Wtf? That's just ridiculous. But the thoughts are there. So many of my characters are beautiful and charming. They are sexy and desirable. I know it's because that's something I want to be and not just a standard vampire thing. /sigh Work in the morning. Gotta deal with fucking Christmas music again. Ugh. I go to work to work, not to sit in someone else's church. Fuck you holiday season.
Organizing thoughts
Once again I am staring at the mental list of things I need to do.
Ouch.
It's definitely a long one. Sadly, I have no idea where to start...
The biggest project is of course vamps. I have an insanely complicated and in depth story that has been floating around in my head for years. Gaming has definitely breathed a lot of life (or unlife) into it, but it just made it so much bigger. I have over 120 characters with fully fleshed out personalities, backgrounds, relationships, memories, etc... They are linked into the various storylines and plots that are abundant all over the city.
It's definitely fun, but holy fucking crap... I can come up with new ideas so fast and so easy that it makes this part incredibly difficult. The whole attempting to organize thoughts and figure out what to update or what to write.
It's been two years since we started up the Vampire the Masquerade session. In that time we've gotten to play out so many fun things, and deal with some heavy situations in the story. It's crazy to think that we're just scratching the surface of what's truly going on in the story.
Now, if only I could manage to get myself to sit down and actually start writing the book form of this thing... It's going to be massive. I do have a starting point. I know where it will begin. However, trying to write in a novel form has always been a challenge for me. I suck at description. Never know how much to explain. Dialogue? Well, I'm fantastic at that. I can write that up super easy.
/sigh
Come on brain. Focus. Get to writing. Please?
