So, today I went out to Trader Joe's to pick up a few things for the house (milk, eggs, and the like) and had three (yup, 3) people stop me in the store because of my damn t-shirt, which I've owned for a couple of years now.

*[Side Note: No, I do not own this shirt because Valo owns it.  In fact, it was given to me as a gift a few years back, before ( Read more... )

If Your Life Was A Movie, What Would The Soundtrack Be?

So, here's how it works:

1. Open your library (iTunes, Winamp, Media Player, iPod, etc)
2. Put it on shuffle
3. Press play
4. For every question, type the song that's playing

Five times.
Five seperate, independent-of-each other times.

Don't mind me--I'm brooding today.

 Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

And a happy 31st Birthday to Mister Ville Hermanni Valo!  This year, us american's have your birth to be thankful for as well!  ;-)

 I'm STILL laid up in bed, and therefore I couldn't go to temple today for Yom Kippur.   I think this is the first time in my 27 years of life that I wasn't in temple for the Day of Atonement.  I'm kinda conflicted about how I feel about that ( Read more... )

Holy crap it's 1pm and I came down to my office to check my email on an impluse. So, I click on my live stream on iTunes that's for this rad station called Radio Rock, and what comes on? VENUS DOOM BY HIM!!! A track that hasn't been released, leaked or anything over here. It's not even the first single, or the second single to be released off the ( Read more... )
