Hello. I have just finished reading all of your blogs, and it has come to my attention that the majority of you are undergoing some pressure filled times. Being that it is summer, the heat most likely also plays an important role in how people deal with certain situations as far as patience goes and tolerance. What I am trying to say is to remember that things always get better. The tough shit that we all go through seemingly comes in huge bunches at a time, the majority of the time it always seems as if there is no end in sight. Stay strong, and never give up fighting, because the really good times always come around and that is what we fight through the rough times for!

Hello. This may sound funny, but I'm reading up on my Astronomy (one of my favorite things in life). The subject? Neutron Stars. All while I'm listening to "At The Dream's Edge" by Chimp Spanner, which if you are familiar with his work, you'll get the point immediately; Chimp Spanner's music is predominantly Djent with some Jazz tones in it. With that said, it's very atmospheric, almost otherworldly (hence the aforementioned album title probably). It's perfect music for what I'm reading.

It is fucking hot out there! My Air Conditioner is having a hard time keeping up. Looks like my Cuervo Black is going in the freezer!
I have finally finished putting all of my swords in their perspective areas. One wall rack located in the dining room, (looks around) my ninja sword in the computer room, my O-Ren Ishii sword set autographed by the late David Carradine (it really is! With a notarized certificate and photo of him signing the sword), my Mace Windu lightsaber across the living room coffee table, my Darth Vader lightsaber across my living room wall unit (speaking of which, Empire is on! Good call Spike TV), my Shaolin broadsword in the kitchen, Bud & Bill's swords from Kill Bill (had to sharpen them myself) in my bedroom, and my Japanese Katanas (2) from the motherland in my amp/spare bedroom. That, and an assortment of knives and weapons caches. Yeah, I'm ready for the zombie apocalypse lol.
Wow, that was some serious rambling on my part. Now, for my question to you, the reader. If we found another planet, one capable of supporting human life, but getting there meant a one way trip. Would you go? Allow me to clarify further. Yes there is life on the other planet. It's humans as well, and they are not hostile. Would that change your answer.

Hi. I, at long last have some time off. I've been helping a friend out in the studio with guitar tracks. That took me four days to do, then I did a whole lot of running around NYC for another two days for a special project I'm working on. Whew! I'm exhausted. So...yeah. That is the reason for the absence.
Are there any questions that anyone wants to ask? By all means fire away.

Okay, ladies & gentlemen SG needs to release an actual app for the iPhone. The mobile version of this site is way too simplified. That and it's glitchy. The app should not only feel seamless in transition from desktop to
Smartphone, but it should also expand upon the current site capabilities, such as making full use of HD retina displays, live video chat in the site, etc. Just an idea.

Hello all. I finally have the time/energy to post. I kicked the summer off this weekend by BBQ-ing, drinking beer and watch Underworld marathons. Work is finally winding down, so I can have some peace and quiet from that end. If I could have some pleasant weather to go with it, we'd be cooking with gas. NY has been a swamp of humidity, and if not that, then one thunderstorm after another.
My car hasn't been fixed yet; I'm hoping that it does! I have places to go, and cities to conquer. I was informed that the fuel pump went....a $440 tax!
I feel like lately I haven't been able to catch up on my sleep, even though I've slept for 10 hours back-to-back on Sat. and Sun. Has anybody else felt this way?
Nothing new to report really, other than the above. But I'll keep posting! Now, for some fun:

Well, well. It seems like I'm going around in idiot circles. My car has broken down...yet again. Don't know what it is, I just know that it won't start. A total of $1,500 worth of repairs since October, and counting! So I will sit here, absorbing and reflecting on my current debacle, wondering if this is all part of a grander plan fate has (probably not), or if someone (my mother?) has placed a hex on me. Life is awesome

Hello all. I journeyed to Ashbury Park, NJ to see Puscifer. I was four rows from the stage, and the show was fantastic. Really a great show in a nice venue.

Hello, hello! How's everybody doing today? Me, I'm doing well. I'm probably going to require a day of just catching up on my sleep, but other than that, I'm simply enjoying my downtime, if you can call it that. I don't know, anyway. So...one thing that fascinates me around this time of year is the midnight sun phenomenon. Now, I currently reside in New York. Over here, the closest that we get to anything resembling white nights experienced around the arctic circle and above is from mid June till early August, when the sun sets at around 8pm, and it doesn't actually get dark until about 9:30pm. Sunrise happens just before 6am, however, you can see light in the sky as early as 4am. With that said, does anyone reading this live in an area that goes through the white night period? I'm interested in hearing about it! Perhaps one day I will take a journey to the land of the midnight sun, all the while experience some amazing metal festivals in the process! \m/ I also wish to see the legendary Aurora Borealis, but that's for another time.

Random pics, mostly video game oriented. You may or may not have already seen some of these. Enjoy.
