zomg wtf its back
so yeah, crane's whole this thing is a perfect memory log for the future kinda got me to want to keep posting in this thing, of course he said that a really long time ago and ive just been procractinating until now, OBVIOUSLY. so yeah, since my last post (a long long time ago) there has been many epic halofests with all the 12 guys, the arch enemy concert with crane which was awesome, the in flames concert with trivium opening with crane, phillips, rahul, varun, josh, and more, which was epic. i crowd surfed during the chorus of trigger and life was good. junior year, although probably the toughest academically was the best year of my high school life so far. the amazing friends, the family, the teachers, the environment...im not really sure i want to leave pcds even though the work makes me hate it sometimes. we're all going to go to different colleges, promise to keep in touch, and slowly lose contact over time. except for crane whos rooming with me so i guess that solves it for one person...
so yeah, i guess that takes it to this summer
this summer has been quite epic. garren's two raves so far have been awesome, going to the LAN place 3 times a week with phillips, crane, phil, cook, jay, shanken, fazel, and all those guys has pretty much owned, damn i love that LAN place, ultimate online experience ftw. mostly crane and phillips have made my house their second home and have been coming over at least twice a week to chill which has been pretty awesome. jays come over a lot too and ive wtfpwned him in CoD 2 constantly, which is to be expected. then. came the day. ozzfest arrived.
ozzfest 2006 was amazing. i loved every minute of it. the best two days of the past two years of my life have been ozzfest and i dont consider it a bad thing. im surrounded by amazing live music in a festival environment while im out with my two best friends, fuckin a man. you know ozzfest starts out well when as soon as you arrive, and your friend crane needs to go to an ATM machine you notice that a guy you see walking around looks like a guy from a band you worship. so yeah, i recognized phil, the singer from All that Remains, and he was like "yeah im phil, whats up?", and we talked with him, chilled, got a picture with him and stuff, it was sweet. i love metal, the band members are so down to earth, when they arent playing, they chill with the crowd and watch other bands, you have to respect that. so the opening band for ozzfest 06 was STRAPPING YOUNG LAD, fuck yeah i love those guys. devin is amazing and hilarious. they played love and you suck which were both amazing and all around they just tore it up. after them it was between the buried and me who i personally liked a lot, they played all bodies, selkies, and alaska. after that it was a bunch of shitty bands that sounded the same which we skipped in order to get lunch and buy strapping young lad and dragonforce shirts. we came back to the second stage at noon to see All That Remains, who were amazing. they played This Calling, for salvation, tattered on my sleeve, indictment, and closed out with the insanely heavy this darkened heart. after their set, we met the band again and all of them autographed a copy of the album for me. then bleeding through and atreyu played, they were both alright, atreyu was a lot better live than they are on the album. and after them was unearth, who dominated! they played the great dividers, black hearts now reign, endless, zombie autopilot and more. then black label society with the legendary zakk wylde took the stage, and we got to hear suicide messiah and fire it up (basically the two songs we wanted to hear by them) before we left to make sure we didnt miss dragonforce on the main stage. dragonforce blew me away. if you havent heard them, ask me about them, they are the most talented and technical band i have EVER heard, and since i listen to metal and not punk, alternative, or some bullshit like that, thats saying a lot. they didn't get a really good crowd response because their music was too above the typical "MOSH! MOSH! SLIPKNOTKORNFUCKYEAH!!!!" crowd, but they were awesome and played my spirit will go on, body breakdown, fury of the storm, and the epic through the fire and the flames. after them was the band that i think was best live at ozzfest, Lacuna Coil. first of all, let me just get out that cristina is amazing. her voice was practically hypnotizing live, and who cannot be amazed by a ridiculously hot girl who headbangs and fronts a metal band? they played fragile, to the edge, what i see, fragments of faith, enjoy the silence, heaven's a lie, and OUR TRUTH. the entire set, i was blown away, and yeah during the next band, hatebreed i just kinda left and bought a lacuna shirt. after them was avenged sevenfold who really amazed me live, way better than i thought. they played eternal rest, unholy confessions, beast and the harlot, bat country, burn it down, and a cover of panteras "walk" that made the crowd go INSANE. after them was disturbed, who were 100 times better live than they were on album where i can barely stand listening to them for more than 20 minutes because they sound the same. the singer, draiman, just got everyone going, it was great. system of a down was next, and although they were good, they werent as good as when they played their own concert here last year, they were a lot weirder this year. i wont list all the songs they played since phillips is planning on making a VENN DIAGRAM of what they played both times, damn hes so cool isnt he. daron, the guitarist, randomly started humping his guitar on the floor for literally like a minute or two which was kinda weird. but yeah all in all, ozzfest OWNED. phillips and crane stayed the night at my place and so ended the greatest day of my life up till now.
so yeah crane left to debate camp a few days ago, right before the bday which sucks, but now this takes us to the bday, yay!
so i turned 17 on july 18th, and the bday was amazing. phillips, ian, chris yee, eisner, shanken, phil, cook, nick farrier, tyler, zach, rahul, varun, and more come over to my place and we hooked up 3 xbox 360s and began the insane halo 2 action right away. after i was done owning it that we had a CoD 2 tournament which i owned at and won. then headed to the LAN place to play some CS and C&C generals...where i got owned...actually i did well at CS but yeah, generals...i hate you phil...by the way, how cool am i? i mean im talking about video games on my lj! woo! fuck yeah im badass! actually i dont give a crap because none of you can do anything about it MWAHAHAHAHA plus its what really happened on the bday anyways. it kinda sucks that alotta people i know were outta town, woulda made it even more epic if they had been there too
New Movies ive seen this summerish

Pirates of the Carribean: Dead Man's Chest
saw this with abby two days ago on my bday and it was fucking awesome, a lotta people said it was mediocre but i absolutely loved it, action was good, the story was intense, characters were played well, keira knightley was fucking HOT, and the ending was probably the biggest movie cliffhanger ive seen, so yeah, it owned, great way to end the 17th bday, I NEED TO SEE THE THIRD ONE NOW.
