Angels & Airwaves – Lifeline (Cover) [2:27 Clip]
As most of you out there probably know already, I am a musician…. a musician that is in a band known as Almost There to be exact.
Well, I am finally getting myself back into the swing of everything again musically, and I saw that a dude on PunkDisasters, a site and forum I am very actively on, named Alecohol, had put up a piano cover of the Angels & Airwaves song, Lifeline, off of their newly released album, I-Emipre. He pretty much left the track open to everyone to cover or whatever if they wanted as long as they gave him credit. So I took a shot at it.
Of course, as you can see by the title, I am not completely finished yet, but I just couldn’t wait to get a clip out there to show you all how it is sounding… it is FREAKING INSANE! I love it! I’m pretty sure you guys will too! Check it out!
Unfortunately, right now I have no webspace, hence no server to put the song onto, so I had to upload it to MediaFire instead so you guys can go ahead and download it from there.
Anyways, I hope you guys enjoy it!

[Update] Save Your Ears. Stop Auto Playing.
Okay, just a quick update on my previous blog post entitled, “Save Your Ears. Stop Auto Playing.”
I would like you guys to know everything is still going well with the concept of everything, but I have a slight change now with my methods.
Here is what I have changed…
Instead of using the Firefox Extension, “Stop Autoplay (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/1765)”, I have now switched over to “Flashblock (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/433)”.
The main reason for this switch is because I took advantage of what “Stop Autoplay” did and took it to the extreme and now I have “Flashblock” blocking all the flash advertisements for me as well. All I have to do to activate anything flash on a website is simply click on it.
That’s all for this update, hope this helped.
Until then… I’m out!

Winter!
I have finally updated my theme for a change! I was starting to get pretty sick and tired of the previous… dark & scary theme, so I decided to go with a more happy, wintery looking theme this time. I hope you guys like it!
Actually… what are your thoughts on it? That’s what comments are for!
Comment away!
Finally an update! (and some changes)
I seriously need to keep this thing updated, don’t I? What’s a blog without updated content? I mean seriously…. I don’t think I’m really going to draw anyone’s attention if I don’t keep this thing up to date.
I think one problem that I am having is that I am trying to hard to avoid talking about myself and what’s going on in my life. I have the feeling that no one really cares, when really, I bet you guys would at least be semi-interested. After all, I did have my life streaming on Justin.tv for a while last summer, which I plan to start doing again shortly by the way, and people seemed to be interested in watching that.
What’s you guys’ opinions? Should what kind of content interests you? Leave me a comment… I need to hear from you. I never seem to get any comments ever, which, frankly, sucks. Here I am trying to reach out to you guys and get you guys involved and I’m not getting anything back.
Yeah, I’ve heard it all before… “I’m not a leaving comments kind of person… I just read it…” Don’t be that guy. C’mon! Even if its just telling me you enjoyed the segment, that’s all I want to hear. Give a man a little encouragement. Just a little couldn’t hurt… could it?
I have one last thing I wanna get in motion with this blog, something I’ve been considering to make it a little more interesting. I’m thinking of having some segments, like some weekly kind of things. Not exactly sure how to explain it, but here are some topics I’m thinking of (names may vary)…
Sunday – Recommend a Website
Monday – Inform the public about something geeky I know, but they don’t
Tuesday – Music Pick
Wednesday – Hardware Pick of the Week
Thursday – Tech Topic
Friday – Whatever I want day (Pick anything… its Friday!)
Saturday – Recommend a Program
I still gotta think about everything, but everyday I wanna have something special planned out or something. Hopefully that would give everyone something to look forward to. I hope to get this started next week (starting this Monday, November 26, 2007).
Okay well, that should do it for me. Once again, I really wanna see a dramatic increase in the amount of comments I get this time. C’mon, I know you can do this!
Until then… I’m out!

I need your opinion.
Okay, maybe I’m just pulling this idea out of my butt, but I was brainstorming on ways to make a better blog and I was thinking about maybe having some video segments. Like… video blogging, but not, I guess. I mean, I could summarize my day or something in a video and post it here or something, but I’m not sure how interesting that would be.
What do you guys think I should do? Should I try out some video stuff? At least experiment with it?
Leave your opinions in the comments area.

When Lamps Attack.
I couldn’t help but think how much of an idiot this guy was for doing what he did at the end of the video… TURN THE FRICKIN’ LAMP OFF BEFORE YOU GO FOR THE PEN!
See for yourself.

…and we’re back! Miss me?
Hey! It’s me! YEah… the guy you thought you managed to get rid of forever… but nope… I’m here, alive and kicking. Did you feel that? Yeah, that was me kicking you. I told you I was kicking, didn’t I?
I guess I should just cut to the chase about why I pretty much just dropped off the face of the earth, so here it goes.
Well, as of pretty much mid-august or so, I’ve been experiencing very severe migraines that would not go away at all. I’ve been emitted to the hospital twice and it only helped a little.
Long story short… I’m fine now, but I pretty much stopped posting because of being all depressed over the whole situation and feeling like I was never going to get better (it feels that way when you have a migraine non-stop since August).
An update on my situation now, I am finally back in school as of Monday, November 12, 2007 with a modified schedule, this week going every other day until 9:35am… all part of the process of easing my way back into everything.
I am also back to work again as a cashier at Kmart working the minimum 3 hour shifts until I get the hang of everything again. Everything is looking good again.
I am just glad that I’m not having to be cooped up in my house all day anymore. It gets pretty freakin’ boring after awhile.
So yep. There’s the reason why I pretty much fell off the face of the earth for a bit, but I am back and better than ever! Expect a lot more posting now!
Until then… you guessed it… I’m out.
