Okay, since saturday I watched Sigur Ros live, they were just amazing, the power of the music and the emotion it was just intense, they have the ability not to just play an instroment but to push it to the limits. Watching Jonsi play his guitar wth a bow is a sight that must be seen, they are so obsessed with music and the sound...

Okay, because I was asked to do this...
A): Step 1: Open your MP3 player.
Step 2: Put all of your music on random.
Step 3: Write down the first 20 songs it plays, no matter how embarrassing.
Step 4: Add what each song makes you think of after you type the list of songs.
1, Sigur Ros - Duet
Its a live track, simple...

I use btw, kk, lol (but when I type it, I'm normally grinning or laughing, so I actually mean it) ffs, wft, afk, brb, and I know limited 1337 speak, Counter Strike is all to blame, it's commonly known as the game of evil, infact, it's so evil it's ebil.
I hate Boarders, it's so close, and while it was raining heavily and was cold, I nipped in to wait out the worst of the rain, however, I bought Equilibrium, Gattaca and three other DVD's while I waited, then when I went to the cash point I was slightly confused by my recept, it's not too clear and I'm either in the black, or I'm...

I haven't seen Equilibrium yet, but hasn't it got Christian Bale in it? I've got to see it sometime!
mrfried:
Yeah, he's in it, the film would be kind of poor normally, the plot is nothing special, the story is a rehash of old ideas, the action is standard.
But, the film is quite good, the story works and you are drawn into it and have to watch to the end. The main reason is Bale, he holds it together, his acting is topnotch as ever.
It has to be said, if I was doing a film, I wouldn't cast him, because I'd want to do a film with great hardworking actors that are solid, but wouldn't detract from each other, or the story, because it would be a film with a good few key/main charactors. If I was to do a film with only one main charactor, with a story driven by him and wrapped arround him, then I would cast Bale, he's perfect in those roles, and I don't think he'd be good as a suporting actor, or as one who has to share the front spot, only because he'd out act them and be too good, he's a large charactor, he is suited to lead roles and deserves them.

So, today I bought Battlefront 2, bugger me is it hard in places, good fun though.
Everything else is going well, I feel happy and content in my life again, you just have to make that decision and move on.
I keep buying stuff, something I should try to curb, I mean,m today I was just buying that one game, I came home with that,...

haha, well, so far it looks like the housemate might have fled the country! nah, im sure he'll come back, and when he does come back he is going to be returning to 6 very angry housemates.

Hope he didn't take anything valuable, and by that I mean something with alot of personal value to it
Maybe I should start with the other news first.
I bought Star Wars Episode 3 on DVD, not as good as Batman Begins, but is great when Anakin becomes Vader and everything moves against the Jedi, the film could be so much better though.
I've also moved back to full rock, this means, Marilyn Manson, Rob Zombie, Rammstein and Holy Bible Manics, this all relates...

I am going through a similar thing right now, too.
I had sort of lost myself because of some shit that happened.
I won't go into details, but on tuesday I decided it was about time i did smething productive in the direction of fixing my life. Hopefully it will work out.
Glad things are looking up for you

mrfried:
Yeah, things are, I've regained perspective and constant music works wonders. I did a brief retreat and have left some things that I felt weren't constructive to who I am and want to be.
LOL, now I am totally reminded of Placebo
All it takes is one decision
A lot of guts, a little vision to wave
Your worries and cares
Goodbye
Odd how I always forget how much that single verse makes me smile and is just 'so right' untill I start pulling out of a potential crash.
There are things I want in life, the only way I am going to get them is by being who I truely am and not falling down into the trap laid by being male, there is this whole male bullshit aswell as the macho crap that you kind of fall into if you are not careful.
Actually, the only male aspect about me that I like is the fact I was brought up to be a Gentleman, which basically means knowing the right way to treat people, kindness, curtisy, politeness (as well as looking dapper in a suit, lol) everything else I rebel against, how else should I be? We have to strive to break our bondgae and the fight is what makes us and lets us be better people and fill our potential in any situation.
That whole thing applies to everything.
I see it around me
I see it in everything
I could be so much
More than this
I said my goodbye's
This is my sundown
I'm gonna be so much

With one hand high
You'll show them your progress
You'll take your time

i couldn't dance at corp tonight, for the first time in weeks, because i have a sore throat and i think being around smoke will just make it a million times worse

(although i will be at this rate.. hopefully this lemsip will help)

Well, hope you get better soon, alot of it can be effected by willpower, so take the stuff (I can't sugest anything without knowing exact symptoms, but even then, doubt I'm allowed, as although I'm registered with the pharmacutical society I'm not in the same physical area and also don't know a drug/health history and other meds you may or may not be on. (which sounds extreme, and to the most part is) then the fun is me going through my Brittish National Formulary and checking everything is okay and maybe even the Stockley which is a book pure about drug interactions.
Docs have it easier, they have the ability to fob you off with crap and send you for blood tests aswell as a computer system that has your medical records in them (that way it will alert them when something is not suitable, and even then, well, thats why you take your prescription to a pharmacy where the pharmacist checks it out and takes a brief review of important factors. All a hell of alot of work...
And I bet you really wanted to know all that.... o_0

i am just beginning to rediscover my love for Placebo.
They were one of my first "favourite" bands.
They were one of the first bands I saw live.
But I grew out of them, as you do with some music.
I listened to Without you I'm Nothing again the other day. I started to remember why I loved them so much in the first place.
I like it when that happens.

mrfried:
yeah, I've seen them live twice now, I must say I like the newer stuff best, and although that album is great there is no songs there that stand out and grab you, which is why I prefer Black Market to that album (Taste In Men, Black Eyed, Peeping Tom and Slave To the Wage come to mind) and Sleeping with Ghosts which has fewer tracks that I'm likely to skip but is also great live.
(i used to use Stay Beautiful as a sign off for everything.. haven't used it in a while so....)...
stay beautiful
Between the billboard masturbation
Across highways of metallic isolation
There lies the deafening screaming of the millions
Wiping out the diseased pages of apathy that bleed our innocence...
