Wow. It's been a hell of a long time since I've posted in this., and boy, it's been eventful.
There's a lot on my mind today and I've been reflecting a lot on the past year and a half. This weekend has been a mixture of highs and lows. Some good stuff happened - The All Blacks (New Zealand) knocked out Ireland in the Rugby World Cup quarter finals thus extending Ireland's inability to make it past a quarter final to eight. I also saw my aunt last night and we did some
Fickle, fickle, fickle. Life is fickle. Everyday is a hard fought battle to step forward into a better, brighter future without sorrow and pain. A future as bright as the gleaming sun. A battle of survival and embracing moments that make life worth living, second to second.
The darkness. Her Majesty’s dark coils hover constant, waiting for the moment life casts human life into the deep end. She attacks. She embraces. She whispers songs of solitude and failure in low, alluring tones. The min
Fame. Everybody is trying to achieve it through hard work and dedication to whatever craft they are trying to master. Writing, Music, Animation, or just simply being a comedian. Some are famous for fantastic reasons, others are famous, or should I say, Infamous, for other reasons. As Gilderoy Lockhart said in Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, "Fame is a fickle friend. Celebrity is as celebrity does." Just because you're made this, or starred in that, doesn't mean your character or actions

This year was blessed right from the start with Viagra Boys releasing Welfare Jazz barely two weeks into january.
These are a bunch of musicians, hailing from the classic swedish hardcore scene, jazz musicians, electronic artists all tied together by singer Sebastian Murphy, a Swedish-American tattoo canvas and punk rock swaggerist who lays down his rough, dark voice over the bands monotonous, sometimes krautrocky background.
The songs on this record are more obviously influenced by c
Hello!
I wanted to get on blogging again but I changed the idea for this blog and as a result, this blog will be focusing on music that's been released/going to be released in 2021. Fun topic, and lots to write about!
Man, when was the last time I did one of these lol. Anyway, let’s catch up a bit
Due to COVID, the rest of my high school senior year had to switch to online from the end of March (around Spring Break) until the end of the school year in May. It was kinda tough for me though, since it was very easy for me to get distracted and unmotivated to do any of my work (or join any of the Zoom meetings for that matter), but somehow, I was able to barely pass and still graduate.
So yeah, stuff li
Having listening to Blind Guardian for like a week, I have come to a decision... Why hadn't I listened any of their work before?! Gotta admit, I kinda got lost in the story they tell in Beyond The Red Mirror (the album I picked as sample).
Plot. I know the basics. There are several worlds in this setting and there used to be several doors connecting them. There was a conflict among the gods and all doors were destroyed, except for the Red Mirror. I'd have to give it more thought while liste
I think I've mentioned before, but The Source has been my starting point to get to know several bands. So far, since that conversation with Aqui at the beginning of the year, I have listened to the following bands (and in most cases I've added them to my playlist):
Beast in Black
Ex Deo
Avantasia
Ayreon
Powerwolf
Gloryhammer
Alestorm
Sabaton
Kamelot
Rhapsody of Fire
... I probably missed some here
So, I'm still enjo
Wow, what a year it has been thus far thanks to the COVID-19 pandemic making a mess of everything.
But I'm not gonna use this blog to talk about that since we're all very familiar with it
Rather, I'm gonna write down some small details about things I've learned in my highschool field placement experiences thus far!
School 1 - Public Co-Educational School
Very low socio-economic school
Large percentage of students are indigenous or Polynesian
School is overcrowd
Another entry, another review, and this time I bring you my thoughts on the first book of the Nagash Trilogy. Coming from the last End Times book, I was ready to take the jump to Age of Sigmar fiction, but then I found out that Black Library released a series of thematic packs set in Warhammer Fantasy (the world that ended in... well, the End Times ). And then I saw a whole trilogy on Nagash and I said to myself "Myself, we gotta read this ASAP!".
And so, here we are, with the first volume
Book 1 of The End Times - The Return of Nagash, by Josh Reynolds
The whole End Times event was a big deal back in 2014, and each entry had a slogan that reflected what was the state of the world by the end of the book. In the case of The Return of Nagash, that quote was "Death Rises...". Nagash, the Supreme Lord of the Undeath, has been one of the major antagonists of the Warhammer World for quite some time, and as the beginning of the End Times, he has been 'dormant' for some centuries.
Wow. It's been a long time since I last posted in my online journal thing. That's not really surprising. I've got a poor history in keeping blogs updated.
Anyways. It's getting closer to 2020. This would normally fill people with excitement, but I'm not feeling it.
Has 2019 been a bad year per say? Not really. My uncle did get cancer (in the bile duct actually, but he was extremely lucky to have the best surgeon in the state to cure it - literally had to lose 80% of his liver though, b
So as Nanowritmo has ended, here are my final thoughts on the challenge.
I went into the challenge with two things. One was that in addition to trying to complete the initial goal of 50,000 words in one month, I also had to do it without any extra writing. This also meant taking care of things, such as exercise, or switching to other hobbies when I realized I was unable to write. The other thing, as opposed to sticking with one novel or even one project, anything that involved writin
