So I'm going to start using LJ again, how often I don't know, right now I really only wanna use it up until I leave for Europe which is in approximately 4 or 3 weeks depending on how you slice it.
However, I wanna start fresh, I don't know how to that whole user link thing but my new LJ name is raptorhands if anyone is interested, either way it's a good thought log.
Take care everyone,

Dear Mars Volta,
It obvious that I love guys, I think everyone knows that, but the concept portion of your first two albums kind of bothered me. However after reading your article in Harp Magazine* it all makes sense. The concepts are actually pretty intense especially once you know the personal level of it all. I love you guys.
* Dear Harp Magazine,
At first I was really mad at you because I thought you were calling the Decemberist progressive and I do not agree in the slightest. However once I read the article I realized otherwise and actually the magazine is quite good! Still, fix your shit and don't mislead people like me who get mad when you mis-represent a band's musical aspects. Respect.
Dear Axe Deodorant,
Your new boost sent smells like some indian dood's (Tardesh) ball sweat mixed with shit stained hair molecules from a donkey's ass. I mean later on it smells fine, but when you first apply it it's like god damn. Fix your shit.
Dear Internet,
It's becoming ever apparent that you're no good for me. You fuel my procrastination, you cheat, you lie, you decieve, and ultimately, you fucked the whole lot of us up real good. I feel like when I use you it's just not real, I hate talking on MSN, I hate sending emails - although sometimes it's alright, I just plain ol' don't like you anymore. Alot of my friends and I use you alot to communicate but it also really makes things awkward too, ie, trying to meet people through you. This is where you lie.
You have pages (myspace, facebook, livejournal) where people can display "who they are" with information like they're interests, music tastes, schools they've attended, etc. Once you meet a person though, you realize that all of this has very little to do with who a person ACTUALLY IS. You see, I'm dumb though, partially because of you and didn't realize this. Alot of people I've met via internet have been total disapointments, there are some exceptions but usually there was a modivation to talk to them besides just being someone I met on myspace.
Further more, when your main source of communication is through a computer screen with not even a voice to communicate to you, more personal communication becomes harder. It got really hard for me to talk to alot of people both that I knew and didn't know simply because face to face communication was just something I didn't do alot of. Most of my time speant at home is away from my family, on the computer using you and we don't really have alot conversations. I've talked to other people and they feel very similar about how the internet's effected their communication in the real world.
Infact that's really fucked up, because when you think about it alot of us are two very different people. There's who we are online and who we are in reality. Having an online persona is fucking wierd.
However, I've stopped using you so much. I've realized now that the internet doesn't create things to do it's only a stand still to kill time when really we could be out living life if we really need to kill time. Would you rather waste time on MSN or adopt a new hobby? Maybe even just read a book? I know it's ironic that I'm using you to convey these ideas but that is because this is the last time I want to use you for a while. This is my goodbye.
It's not that I'm never going to use you again because our modern world requires that I do and being in a band, I will definetely need you because the internet is so crucial to us musicians now-a-days. But things like MSN, myspace, facebook, and even the livejournal I'm writing on are so unnessessary and it's time to give 'em up.
It's been a good four or five years of using this LJ account to document times where I was living life and not just waiting for life to happen**, but that time is done. If you want something to happen you have to go get it, miracles don't fall into your lap.
Sincerely,
Darryl George-Thomas Blacker
** I lied on this thing a fair amount but I'm sure we all do

So after a couple months of work Malta Kano is finally up and running and playing shows! We have our first show tonight at the Oakville YMCA and I'm pretty excited about it. I've already had a bunch of friends tell me they're coming and that just gets me excited since they're the ones I really wanna play for anyways.
This band has been a great experience so far so I hope everything else goes really well and also:
We have recordings now, http://www.myspace.com/mmmkano

Night school is done, Halleluiah!
My teacher showed me my ISU and then asked if she could keep it, I was down with that so whatev's, it's quite flattering when a teacher wants to keep your project!
I'm so happy this is all over and now I don't have to worry about projects, homework, studying, tests, and all that shit till September.
Monday's and Wedensday aren't the most eventuful nights but it's good to have 'em back!

indian summer: your train is leaving |
] |
So I got a new job at Wearhouse for the summer at my mom's work.
It's pretty interesting so far although all i've been doing is re-programming debit and credit card machines which isn't as cool or as challenging as one might think.
Anyways it's good to not be worry about money or having to borrow money from my parents, also night school's done soon - things are about to get a whole lot sexier.

| a peice of advice |
[15 Apr 2006|12:34am] |
For those of you in bands listen up.
If a label from another country (that's not very reputible or "just starting out") offers you a deal, think twice before you say yes. Make sure there's contracts, meetings and all that jazz involved.
And watch out if they ask you for money because months and months later, after the label's gone under you still won't have the money you sent them.
FUCK YOU JEREMY WE WANT OUR FUCKIN' CASH BACK YOU SLEEZEY WEASILING SKETCH BAG!
I kind of put the issue behind me when Ghost Stories broke up but I thought about it today and realized that we should get the money back but the dude has completely vanished off of every contact I had of him. So uh, fuck him right up his stupid ass.

I'm not trying to hate on ALL rich kids because you can't really help the life your born into and if you were born into wealth then lucky you I guess, unless you hate it then that sucks.
ANYWAYS, me and some buddies were out bike riding tonight (I talk alot about bike rides, I know) and some kids in their dad's Mercedies drives by and starts hooting "Yeah you're a fag!" Whilst speeding by and driving dangerously.
I'm actually used to that shit by now but it just gets to me how people are such assholes and abuse the privelleges they have!
Oh well, Karma will work it's magic and one day those kids will get what's really coming to them.

SO I just bought a synth a couple months ago but as it turns out I recently came across a drum kit that I want like nothing else so I'm on here first asking if anyone would like it because if I can sell it to a friend rather then some random person that'd be awesome.
I bought it for $700 and it's barely used so I'm asking $500 solid.
It is an Alesis Micron and it literally has thousands of settings, you can do almost anything with it.
http://www.alesis.com/products/micron/
Here's a page with all the info on it, it's seriously a sweet machine, I'd keep it but I really want new drums so I'm willing to let it go.

Les Savy Fav: Reprobate's Resume |
] |
Why is Les Savy Fav like the best band ever?
She was sweet sixteen, baby beauty queen.
Straight white teeth, bathed in beauty cream.
Priss don't drink and priss don't smoke.
Shit don't stink and don't take jokes.
Botoxed in bobby socks. Cold as ice.
All the boys were like white on rice.
The end result is still the same, you can't go back the way you came.

| Cool Quiz - Stolen from Mike! |
[03 Apr 2006|11:06am] |
| Freudian Inventory Results | Oral (63%) you appear to be overly passive and dependent, wanting things to be given to you instead of working for them.
Anal (53%) you appear to have a good balance of self control and spontaneity, order and chaos, variety and selectivity.
Phallic (70%) you appear to have issues with controlling your sexual desires and possibly fidelity.
Latency (36%) you appear to be overly practical; don't undervalue abstract learning, abstract learning increases your ability to make good decisions (and predictions) in the real world so it would be 'impractical' to shun it.
Genital (76%) you appear to have a progressive and openminded outlook on life unbeholden to regressive forces like traditional authority and convention.
