Yes it does...
It hurts... [x17]
Is this what you want
'Cause everybody acts without a clue
Every little kiss and grin you gave
Was just a little bullshit I saw through
The alcohol I scented with your breath
You're always all done up to just be used
I'm waiting for excuses that deceive
I'll meet you in the back to see them through
How did I let her inside
We're dripping of sweat and feeling alright
Her lips were the last thing touched tonight
Your best friend is not your girlfriend
It hurts... [x17]
Are you out of your mind
You dug yourself into a liar's hole
You made a little spark to live inside
It's now a fucking fire out of control
When the morning comes you'll act surprised
And when the word gets out it will get old
And every day you'll try to live your life
And every little scandal will unfold
How did I let her inside
We're dripping of sweat and feeling alright
Her lips were the last thing touched tonight
Your best friend is not your girlfriend
Dream...do you want
Dream... I want it too
Dream... you want it
... I want it too
How did I let her inside
We're dripping of sweat and feeling alright
Her lips were the last thing touched tonight
Your best friend is not your girlfriend
(It hurts, it hurts, it hurts, it hurts)
(It hurts, it hurts, it hurts, it hurts) Your best friend is not your girlfriend
(It hurts, it hurts, it hurts, it hurts)
(It hurts, it hurts, it hurts, it hurts) Your best friend is not your girlfriend
(It hurts, it hurts, it hurts, it hurts)
(It hurts, it hurts, it hurts, it hurts) Your best friend is not your girlfriend
(It hurts, it hurts, it hurts, it hurts)
(It hurts, it hurts, it hurts, it hurts) Your best friend is not your girlfriend

Everywhere
This is a beautiful version of the song. It's a bit burst at some part. But still beautiful and honest.
Turn it inside out so I can see
The part of you that's drifting over me
And when I wake you're never there
But when I sleep you're everywhere
You're everywhere
Just tell me how I got this far
Just tell me why you're here and who you are
'Cause every time I look
you're never there
And every time I sleep
you're always there
'Cause you're everywhere to me
And when I close my eyes it's you I see
You're everything I know
that makes me believe
I'm not alone
I'm not alone
I recognize the way you make me feel
It's hard to think that
you might not be real
I sense it now, the water's getting deep
I try to wash the pain away from me
Away from me
'Cause you're everywhere to me
And when I close my eyes it's you I see
You're everything I know
that makes me believe
I'm not alone
I'm not alone
I am not alone
Whoa, oh, oooh, oh
And when I touch your hand
It's then I understand
The beauty that's within
It's now that we begin
You always light my way
I hope there never comes a day
No matter where I go
I always feel you so
'Cause you're everywhere to me
And when I close my eyes it's you I see
You're everything I know
that makes me believe
I'm not alone
'Cause you're everywhere to me
And when I catch my breath
it's you I breathe
You're everything I know
that makes me believe
I'm not alone
You're in everyone I see
So tell me
Do you see me?
Turn it inside out so I can see
The part of you that's drifting over me
And when I wake you're never there
But when I sleep you're everywhere
You're everywhere
Just tell me how I got this far
Just tell me why you're here and who you are
'Cause every time I look
you're never there
And every time I sleep
you're always there
'Cause you're everywhere to me
And when I close my eyes it's you I see
You're everything I know
that makes me believe
I'm not alone
I'm not alone
I recognize the way you make me feel
It's hard to think that
you might not be real

'Cause you're everywhere to me

I'm not alone
I am not alone
Whoa, oh, oooh, oh

The beauty that's within
It's now that we begin
You always light my way
I hope there never comes a day

And when I close my eyes it's you I see

I'm not alone
'Cause you're everywhere to me
And when I catch my breath
it's you I breathe
You're everything I know
that makes me believe
I'm not alone
You're in everyone I see
So tell me
Do you see me?
Makes Me Think
Makes Me Think
-Today, after 10 years, my husband suddenly quit smoking cigarettes. When I asked him why he decided to quit, he said, "I want to grow old with you." MMT
-Today, my wife and I acted like kids. We ate cotton candy at a carnival, climbed an oak tree in a nearby park and then carved our initials into the tree's trunk. On our walk home it started raining. So we splashed around in the puddles and performed rain-dances as we walked. It was a blast! MMT
-Today, I kissed a girl for the first time. I am a girl and it felt right. MMT
-Today, I found a wallet on the street. It was packed with credit cards and $300 in cash. I took out the drivers license, put the guy's address into my GPS, and drove it to him, cash and all. He couldn't believe it. "You saved me so much grief!" he exclaimed as he handed me $300 in cash. MMT
Well you get the point. But not everything in the site is all good deeds or thoughts. there are some which are just down right sad. Please do check it out. It does makes me think. And today, as I was reading the site and made me sob. Then on the way home I smiled all the way and realized that I am lucky to be here and there are others who are less fortunate than I am. So as i get into the commuter there's a pack of ballons that's tied up on to the handles. No body realized them. I did and made me smile even more.

Sway
Don't stray, don't ever go away
I should be much too smart for this
You know it gets the better of me
Sometimes, when you and I collide
I fall into an ocean of you, pull me out in time
Don't let me drown, let me down
I say it's all because of you
And here I go, losing my control
I'm practicing your name so I can say it to your face
It doesn't seem right, to look you in the eye
Let all the things you mean to me
Come tumbling out my mouth
Indeed it's time to tell you why
I say it's infinitely true
[CHORUS:]
Say you'll stay, don't come and go
Like you do
Sway my way, yeah I need to know
All about you
And there's no cure, and no way to be sure
Why everything's turned inside out
Instilling so much doubt
It makes me so tired - I feel so uninspired
My head is battling with my heart
My logic has been torn apart
And now it all turns sour
Come sweeten every afternoon
[CHORUS TWICE]
It's all because of you
It's all because of you
Now it all turns sour, come sweeten every afternoon
It's time to tell you why, I say it's infinitely true
[CHORUS TWICE]
It's all because of you
It's all because of you
It's all because of you
Remembering Sunday
He woke up from dreaming and put on his shoes
Started making his way past
Two in the morning
He hasn't been sober for days
Leaning now into the breeze
Remembering Sunday, he falls to his knees
They had breakfast together
But two eggs don't last
Like the feeling of what he needs
Now this place seems familiar to him
She pulled on his hand with a devilish grin
She led him upstairs
She led him upstairs
Left him dying to get in
Forgive me, I'm trying to find my calling
I'm calling at night
I don't mean to be a bother
But have you seen this girl?
She's been running through my dreams
And it's driving me crazy, it seems
I'm gonna ask her to marry me
Even though she doesn't believe in love
He's determined to call her bluff
Who could deny these butterflies?
They're filling his gut
Waking the neighbors, unfamiliar faces
He pleads though he tries
But he's only denied
Now he's dying to get inside
Forgive me, I'm trying to find my calling
I'm calling at night
I don't mean to be a bother
But have you seen this girl?
She's been running through my dreams
And it's driving me crazy, it seems
I'm gonna ask her to marry me
The neighbors said she moved away
Funny how it rained all day
I didn't think much of it then
But it's starting to all make sense
Oh, I can see now that all of these clouds
Are following me in my desperate endeavor
To find my whoever, wherever she may be
I'm not coming back
(Forgive me)
I've done something so terrible
I'm terrified to speak
(I'm not calling, I'm not calling)
But you'd expect that from me
I'm mixed up, I'll be blunt
(You're driving me crazy)
Now the rain is just washing you out of my hair
And out of my mind
Keeping an eye on the world
From so many thousands of feet off the ground
I'm over you now
I'm at home in the clouds, towering over your head
I guess I'll go home now
I guess I'll go home now
I guess I'll go home now
I guess I'll go home

Memory
This may never start.
We could fall apart.
And I'd be your memory.
Lost your sense of fear.
Feelings insincere.
Can I be your memory?
So get back, back, back to where we lasted.
Just like I imagine.
I could never feel this way.
So get back, back, back to the disaster.
My heart's beating faster.
Holding on to feel the same.
This may never start.
I'll tear us apart.
Can I be your enemy?
Losing half a year.
Waiting for you here
I'd be your anything.
So get back, back, back to where we lasted.
Just like I imagine.
I could never feel this way.
So get back, back, back to the disaster.
My heart's beating faster.
Holding on to feel the same.
This may never start.
Tearing out my heart.
I'd be your memory.
Lost your sense of fear.
(I'd be your memory)
Feelings disappear.
Can I be your memory?
So get back, back, back to where we lasted.
Just like I imagine.
I could never feel this way.
So get back, back, back to the disaster.
My heart's beating faster.
Holding on to feel the same.
This may never start.
We could fall apart
And I'd be your memory.
Lost your sense of fear.

Hero/Heroine
It's too late baby, there's no turning around
I've got my hands in my pocket and my head in a cloud
This is how I do
When I think about you
I never thought that you could break me apart
I keep a sinister smile and a hold of my heart
You want to get inside
Then you can get in line
But not this time
Cause you caught me off guard
Now I'm running and screaming
I feel like a hero and you are my heroine
I won't try to philosophize
I'll just take a deep breath and I'll look in your eyes
This is how I feel
And it's so surreal
I got a closet filled up to the brim
With the ghosts of my past and the skeletons
And I don't know why
You'd even try
But I won't lie
You caught me off guard
Now I'm running and screaming
I feel like a hero and you are my heroine
Do you know that your love is the sweetest sin?
And I feel a weakness coming on
Never felt so good to be so wrong
Had my heart on lockdown
And then you turned me around
I'm feeling like a new born child
Every time I get a chance to see you smile
It's not complicated
I was so jaded
And you caught me off guard
Now I'm running and screaming
I feel like a hero and you are my heroine
Do you know that your love is the sweetest sin?
(I feel like a hero and you are my heroine)
And I feel a weakness coming on
Never felt so good to be so wrong
Had my heart on lockdown
And then you turned me around
(Do you know that your love is the sweetest sin?)
I'm feeling like a new born child
Every time I get a chance to see you smile
It's not complicated
I was so jaded

And I feel a weakness coming on
Never felt so good to be so wrong

And then you turned me around

Every time I get a chance to see you smile
It's not complicated

Paper Lanterns
Now I rest my head from such an endless dreary time
A time of hopes and happiness that had you on my mind
Those days are gone and now it seems as if I'll get some rest
But now and then I'll see you again
And it puts my heart to the test
So when are all my problems going to end?
I'm understanding now that we are only friends
To this day I'm asking why I still think about you
As the days go on I wonder will this ever end?
I find it hard to keep control
When you're with your boyfriend
I do not mind if all I am is just a friend to you
But all I want to know right now is if you think about me too
So when are all my problems going to end?
I'm understanding now that we are only friends
To this day I'm asking why I still think about you
So when are all my problems going to end?
I'm understanding now that
We are only friends
To this day I'm asking why I still think about you

Square
I put it in a box, I'm trying to put it in a box.
But it's dying to get out, it's dying to be seen and heard.
What am I suppose to do but to play along?
It's in the box, It's still in the box.

The Cat Piano
I love watching shorts. They are short to begin with, easily understood (mostly) and catchy and straight to the point. Sometimes the twists at the end are surprising. I'll post more shorts in the future but this is the latest one I found it's called The Cat Piano.

Music is within us
Bobby McFerrin, some musician and I guess a researcher too, made this astounding demonstration that made me think that most of us who has the aid of hearing would have been embedded by the power of music since we were born. But it does sort of develop through out our growing up process. I mean our mother would sing a lullaby while we fall asleep, you sing the national anthem at kindergarten, almost every religion in the world would sing prayers in their own melodic way. Well this guy proves it. check it out.
as we are talking about music, I would like to post a few music videos that has been inspiring to me for the past few months. well mostly guitar performances that kindda makes you wanna sit back and realax
Monte Montgomery - Little Wing Instrumental (Jimi Hendrix cover)
Eric Johnson - Manhattan
Eric Johnson - A Song for Life
Justin Taylor - Cheesy Little Love Song
Andy McKee - Guitar - Drifting
Andy McKee - Rylynn - Acoustic Guitar

Things people say in the courtroom
So i was just reading these things I found about the "Things people say in the courtroom". I thought that it's ganna be those lame jokes and useless things that are put on the net. but turns out it's quite interesting to read. I mean lawyers, from my understanding, have to be certain and vigilant about everything. but sometimes these quotes are just ridiculous. both the witness and the lawyer. these are three samples from the site
* Lawyer: "Doctor, before you performed the autopsy, did you check for a pulse?"
* Witness: "No."
* Lawyer: "Did you check for blood pressure?"
* Witness: "No."
* Lawyer: "Did you check for breathing?"
* Witness: "No."
* Lawyer: "So, then it is possible that the patient was alive when you began the autopsy?"
* Witness: "No."
* Lawyer: "How can you be so sure, Doctor?"
* Witness: "Because his brain was sitting on my desk in a jar."
* Lawyer: "But could the patient have still been alive nevertheless?"
* Witness: "Yes, it is possible that he could have been alive and practicing law somewhere."
* Lawyer: "What is your brother-in-law's name?"
* Witness: "Borofkin."
* Lawyer: "What's his first name?"
* Witness: "I can't remember."
* Lawyer: "He's been your brother-in-law for years, and you can't remember his first name?"
* Witness: "No. I tell you, I'm too excited." (rising and pointing to his brother-in-law) "Nathan, for heaven's sake, tell them your first name!"
* Lawyer: "What was the first thing your husband said to you when he woke that morning?"
* Witness: "He said, 'Where am I, Cathy?'"
* Lawyer: "And why did that upset you?"
* Witness: "My name is Susan."
* Lawyer: "Doctor, before you performed the autopsy, did you check for a pulse?"
* Witness: "No."
* Lawyer: "Did you check for blood pressure?"
* Witness: "No."
* Lawyer: "Did you check for breathing?"
* Witness: "No."
* Lawyer: "So, then it is possible that the patient was alive when you began the autopsy?"
* Witness: "No."

FAIL
A friend of mine posted a video on Facebook from this website Failblog. It's worth the time to surf around the site when you are really really really really bored and just would love to see other people's failure or failure by nature, intended or not intended. Here are some of the samples.

A heuristic is a "rule-of-thumb"
Mental Heuristics
A heuristic is a "rule-of-thumb", advice that helps an AI program or human think and act more efficiently by directing thinking in an useful direction.
Some of these heuristics are age-old wisdom, bordering on cliche, but most are actually helpful.
If you want something done, do it yourself
Comment: Obviously true, and doing it is usually very good for your self esteem. A surprising amount of work can be done this way, and experts are not always necessary. However, there is a risk of becoming overworked if you try to do everything yourself - we all need other people after all.
Never procrastinate anything you can do right now
Comment: Very powerful. There are many things that can be fixed or solved with a minimum of effort, but are often pushed aside as unimportant. Unfortunately they won't go away, and in time the feelings of guilt for not having done them will make you even less likely of fixing the problems.
When you have several things you could be doing and don't know which to do: Just do any one of them!
Comments: If you cannot decide between two or more possibilities, then there is a good chance that the differences don't matter. However, most people begin to hesitate in this kind of situation (Fredkin's paradox). If you are conscious of this, you can just choose one choice randomly or according to some standard method.
Always assume that you will succeed
Comments: If you don't expect to succeed in an endeavor, then you will not do your best and will not notice possible solutions, while if you feel that you will eventually succeed you will concentrate all your power at the problem. Of course, there is no point in attempting what you cannot do, a certain amount of self-knowledge is always needed.
If you can't find a solution, change the rules.
Comment: Remember that there are no no-win scenarios.
If you cannot do anything about something, there is no point in worrying about it.
Comment: Worrying is stressful, and in most situations doesn't accomplish anything - it just wastes energy. Instead of worrying about things, either do something about them or find ways around the problem. One useful idea is to write down your worries on slips of paper, and then put them away in a box. Regularly, once a week or so, you open the box and see what you can do about the worries that are still relevant.
Do not rely on conscious decisions for speed - Just Do It
Comments: The conscious mind is surprisingly slow, conscious choices and actions are delayed for a significant time (a reflex acts within some tens of milliseconds, an unconscious reaction to external stimuli circa 100 milliseconds and a conscious choice several seconds). The duty of the conscious mind is usually to inhibit rather than start action, and if you become too conscious of what you are doing in a tense situation you will hesitate or slow down.
It is a good idea to learn to rely on your non-conscious mind, since our conscious mind is slow and has very low bandwidth while the other systems in our brains have a tremendous capacity and actually do most of the real work anyway.
Don't try to explain away your actions for yourself
Comment: While we often do things we do not want to explain our real motivations for before other people (out of fear of embarrassment, anger or loss of image), it is a bad idea to try to convince oneself that the motivation was anything different from what it was. It will only reduce your self-knowledge with deliberate misinformation, and it is often valuable to understand what motivations you have (even if you dislike them or would never admit them in public).
Listen to your intuition, but do not believe it unconditionally
Comments: Intuitive or emotional thinking, analogies, "gut feelings" or "flashes of inspiration" can sometimes give fantastic new insights or show problems from a new direction. Unfortunately such thinking isn't always reliable, and quite often completely wrong! Such insights should never be accepted because you admire their beauty or they are intuitive, only because they fit with reality.

I found this from Mental Heuristics site. I think it's a really cool study that these guys are doing. Some of the phrases are kindda cool and ponder about.

If you want something done, do it yourself
Comment: Obviously true, and doing it is usually very good for your self esteem. A surprising amount of work can be done this way, and experts are not always necessary. However, there is a risk of becoming overworked if you try to do everything yourself - we all need other people after all.
Never procrastinate anything you can do right now
Comment: Very powerful. There are many things that can be fixed or solved with a minimum of effort, but are often pushed aside as unimportant. Unfortunately they won't go away, and in time the feelings of guilt for not having done them will make you even less likely of fixing the problems.
When you have several things you could be doing and don't know which to do: Just do any one of them!
Comments: If you cannot decide between two or more possibilities, then there is a good chance that the differences don't matter. However, most people begin to hesitate in this kind of situation (Fredkin's paradox). If you are conscious of this, you can just choose one choice randomly or according to some standard method.
Always assume that you will succeed
Comments: If you don't expect to succeed in an endeavor, then you will not do your best and will not notice possible solutions, while if you feel that you will eventually succeed you will concentrate all your power at the problem. Of course, there is no point in attempting what you cannot do, a certain amount of self-knowledge is always needed.
If you can't find a solution, change the rules.
Comment: Remember that there are no no-win scenarios.
If you cannot do anything about something, there is no point in worrying about it.
Comment: Worrying is stressful, and in most situations doesn't accomplish anything - it just wastes energy. Instead of worrying about things, either do something about them or find ways around the problem. One useful idea is to write down your worries on slips of paper, and then put them away in a box. Regularly, once a week or so, you open the box and see what you can do about the worries that are still relevant.
Do not rely on conscious decisions for speed - Just Do It
Comments: The conscious mind is surprisingly slow, conscious choices and actions are delayed for a significant time (a reflex acts within some tens of milliseconds, an unconscious reaction to external stimuli circa 100 milliseconds and a conscious choice several seconds). The duty of the conscious mind is usually to inhibit rather than start action, and if you become too conscious of what you are doing in a tense situation you will hesitate or slow down.
It is a good idea to learn to rely on your non-conscious mind, since our conscious mind is slow and has very low bandwidth while the other systems in our brains have a tremendous capacity and actually do most of the real work anyway.
Don't try to explain away your actions for yourself
Comment: While we often do things we do not want to explain our real motivations for before other people (out of fear of embarrassment, anger or loss of image), it is a bad idea to try to convince oneself that the motivation was anything different from what it was. It will only reduce your self-knowledge with deliberate misinformation, and it is often valuable to understand what motivations you have (even if you dislike them or would never admit them in public).
Listen to your intuition, but do not believe it unconditionally
Comments: Intuitive or emotional thinking, analogies, "gut feelings" or "flashes of inspiration" can sometimes give fantastic new insights or show problems from a new direction. Unfortunately such thinking isn't always reliable, and quite often completely wrong! Such insights should never be accepted because you admire their beauty or they are intuitive, only because they fit with reality.

I found this from Mental Heuristics site. I think it's a really cool study that these guys are doing. Some of the phrases are kindda cool and ponder about.

Moleskine was created as a brand in 1997, bringing back to life the legendary notebook used by artists and thinkers over the past two century: among them Vincent van Gogh, Pablo Picasso, Ernest Hemingway, and Bruce Chatwin. A trusted and handy travel companion, the nameless black notebook held invaluable sketches, notes, stories, and ideas that would one day become famous paintings or the pages of beloved books.

Stand By Me
Don't you just love the classics? This was originally performed and written by Ben E. King and had been covered by many famous artists world wide. It's been played by many bands in bars and clubs. This version is one of my favorite. It's from a documentary called Playing for change: Peace Through Music which is a cool concept for a music docu. This guy Mark Johnson and his crew traveled in the US, Africa and Europe and recorded street musicians and made them jam. The singer could be somewhere in Santa Monica and the drum could be recorded somewhere in Congo. So they all combined and mixed to make a song. Please do check out the other songs in their Playing for change youtube channel or their website as I mention above.

Drums
As promised here are my favourite drum videos in youtube.
Cobus Potgieter
This guy got style. He's not the most talented in the music industry but his covers of the pop music is just astounding and kept you want to watch more. may be coz of the different camera angles that he put up.
Boys like Girls - Great Escape (Drums Cover)
Cobus - *Nsync - Pop (Drums Cover)
hahaha... this is a great cover from him. I wouldn't expect this song can be this exiting to watch and listen to.
Dave Matthews Band - Tripping Billies (Drums Cover)
Travis Barker
Ok to intro this guy I would like to say that he's crazy! hahaha... may be over exaggerating. His band is called Blink 182. I think that every pop radio listener would have heard this band. If you are a rock fan and do not know this band you are a fool. But I love his raw power into hitting his drum set. His rolls are just pumping with adrenaline. His drumming is so unique that fans can distinguish him from the others with eyes close.
Travis Barker Remix Soulja Boy "Crank That"
This video has more than 27 million views. So if you haven't seen this please do see the double hand hit on the cymbal. hehehe...
Travis Barker - Snare Drum Solo
Travis Barker recording drums for Avril Lavigne
This is a video that Travis got invited to do a recording with Avril. He listen to her music once then straight away goes to recording. lol...
Travis Barker and Adrian Young
This collaboration between them happened at Guitar Center's Drum Off 2005. For some who don't know who Ardian Young is, he is the drummer for the popular band No Doubt. This session is like a battle. hahaha... I bet it was hell of a fun time for them.
Carter Beauford
This guy is one of the top drummer in the world. His band is called Dave Matthews Band and they are one of my all time favourite band. I will feature his studio recording style of drumming of their famous hits. I would like to say that Carter is awesome, and that's not even enough to describe him. he would roll out in his own rhythm but still still compliments the music, which is the main focus, his beat is funky as hell yet he still can rock. do check out his live performances if you got the chance.
Carter Beauford - Tripping Billies (Studio)
Do compare this with that Cobus guy.
Carter Beauford - Ants Marching (Studio)
Victor Wooten and Carter Beauford
This is the chill version of #41 by Dave Matthews Band featuring Victor Wooten who is a great bass player. They kindda did a jam session after a recording I believe and turns out to be a beautiful sound. just run it a the background while you are surfing or something. It's really soothing.
Tony Royster Jr.
This kid was, I believe, 12 years old during this recording and already developed such amazing skills that can top off any drummers in the Billboard top 50 right now. He has grown up and been touring with top artists like Beyonce and other RnB singers.
Tony Royster Jr. Drumsolo
Well the kid marks the end of this post for now. May be the next post would be bass solo shows. I don't know, see how my mood is. May be I'll continue posting the third chapter or another awesome websites I've stumbled upon. Thanks for sticking around.

Chapter Two
Every artists have their inspirations, their muse, their obsessions that creates art from their perspective. Some of their arts connects to their viewers or listeners or fans. Some just plain weird art that only the artist can understand. Each and every most beautiful songs in the world, the popular world, was created because of a woman or caused by a woman. That is their inspiration, their muse, the woman they love or the woman that broke their heart. I would say songwriters are the most brilliant composers on earth. They put down words together that would sound really well with the chords they play. Some are just the most romantic and beautiful words that you have ever heard. It is like a poem played along with melody. That is just called music. Well I wouldn't say that every music that has words are the best ones, Mozart was brilliant and so was Beethoven. I do pay full respect for them as they composed some of the most world famous music of all time. If they are still alive by now, they would be more popular than the any rock stars out there. Now, I know for sure that they, Mozart and Beethoven, were also inspired by something or someone to composed that had became world famous. Even though Beethoven was never married I believed that he fell in love with the music itself, may be that is why the music is so pure as his love to the music. It is as if he found his holy grail and showed it to the whole world to hear.
Sometimes I fear of loosing hope, the one that keeps me standing on my feet. Hope from others or from myself, does it matter? May be for some. Faith, would be one. From religion that was introduced to me since I was born. I do still believe in God, but do living the regulations of the organization that believes God? I'm still not sure. If I'm loosing hope or believe in religion would that mean I'm loosing my faith? Now if I'm loosing my faith on the biggest thing that ever being introduced to me in my life, would I be loosing faith that easily to something else that I'm suppose to commit? Like my job or a relationship. I wonder about this sometimes. Could there be a connection between these behavior? I'm guessing may be. I know that I am lazy as hell but when something interest me or gets me exited I would go all the way, without hesitation. I do realize that most of the times I would postpone things as far as I could so that I could do them later. Like doing my paper work in the office for example. I would do the other stuff first then when the sun about to set I would finish up the paper work, may be it's the organizing that I hate. Paper work is just the last thing I wanna do for anything. Even while I'm learning new songs for the guitar part I would stop half way if it gets too difficult for me. Then the song would just hang halfway. That's why I can play lots of songs but not complete. There are more of these kind of things that just pile up inside my head. Laziness is one of them. Would these be symptoms of loosing my hopes? It could lead on loosing my dreams doesn't it?
What is that thing that keeps beating inside of all of us? The heart. It's a very complex organ of which makes our blood runs through our veins and make everything running smooth. It is the hardest muscle in our body. I would say it is the softest side of our system. You can make it feel like it's beating a thousand miles per hour in a matter of seconds by just staring at the eye of your significant other. I always wonder about this. What is it that drives ourselves to be this crazy? The chemicals in our body is just too difficult to understand for us. Sometimes it is just too unbearable to contain, too complicated to comprehend. A 12 years old figuring out what's his purpose in life is like the question of his life. Dazed and confused about why he couldn't understand the people around him, culture shocked about his surrounding at the school ground when everyone has an ipod but he doesn't. Trying to figure out what is that feeling when the a girl, other than his mother or related people, touch his hands for the first time. A few years later his feelings get even more exhilarating when he found out about puberty. He woke up with a stain on his shorts. But he felt a good wake. Then he discovers interest in girls, starts to talk to them differently, more pleasing other than mocking, gets teases from his guy friends about being closer to girls than them. Comes in the telephone conversation. Hogging the one handed telecommunication from six to nine every night. When everyone in the house falls asleep he would wake up at 11, which past his bedtime, and starts calling again from his room until 3am. The next day waking up with baggy eyes and gives excuse to the teacher that he was doing research for the school project over the night. Friday night is just around the corner. He starts looking for the perfect movie to watch at the cinema. He would plan ahead of time. The cinema halls could be half an hour ride from his house but he cycled instead to save money for that fast food dinner he planned. Take down the movie name and the show time, he might even book for a seat. Comes in Thursday, calls in the girl, asking if she's free after school on Friday and arrange for a meeting, “Yea, I'm free. Wanna have dinner first?” BANG! He's at the highest place that any man could ever be at that second. His heart pumps a million miles per second. He becomes delusional, everything else around him is just an imagination, everyone else is just a passer by. Sometimes everything else are just a blur but only she's in focus.

Chapter One
You might say that I tried to escape from reality. The reality that tries to bite the living hell of my flesh. But the truth is, it is the frightening sight of loosing my mind, my life that I cannot grasp or hold on to. I question my self time after time, drinks after drinks, friends after friends, conversations after conversations about what is it that is holding me back from the greatest years of my life that I suppose to enjoy? Was it the past? Or my inner pussy-coward-selfish bastard that never have the guts to say anything to anyone? Now here I am living the life of I might visualize to be someone else's. Earning my life with the other norms that commute themselves daily as they are trying to earn their honest living too. I can see how sometimes they wake themselves up at six in the morning and drag up their zombie bodies to type the keyboard, make the coffee, sweep the floor, talk big to their boss or just kissing his big ass. And all of these, sometimes, is just for a rice bowl or a sip of whiskey for some of them. To maintain the big life of theirs in the big city that they might think that is the greatest exercise that they have ever experienced. Now with all of these things that surround them and might blind them for what they actually are, I wonder if I actually deserve all of these. For what I have done and worked for. For the things I have given up. I have lived to the expectations of others, but may be not all of them. But you can imagine the pressure of a young adult that is given by their old ones after you fly solo.
Guilt is a pleasure that I think everyone hunts and dig. It is like having a fear of getting caught, or being the asshole you are of cheating with another girl. It is a chase and having the sensation of achievements that you have never done before in you life and you might think, “Hey why not try it once in you life” kind of thing. But there's always a catch on every pleasure that you get. To have sex before marriage is one, I am pretty sure that most major religion in the world states that it is forbidden. But we, as human as we are, want it so badly as our hormones and sexual drive builds up as we grow older. So what do we do if the most basic fundamental guidelines had taught us to obey what 'the book' told us to? We turn to the alternatives, for some people, we explore what is it that makes up the essentials of intimacy. Different cultures have different terms for that particular activity. Some calls it pleasuring yourself, stroking the salami (gosh, that sounds even profound for me) or the normal term that society use is called masturbation. Well the doctors say it is a perfectly healthy exercise. You can even practice it daily. It releases stress, relaxing and it feels good. Doesn't take much to wonder and tools to do it, may be for some or the female gender they might want some toys to have more fun in the process. But that's not important, it is the result that makes it important. You fantasies, you reach the south region, you pet it or wank it hard, you releases and you lay back. To some they prefer to go all the way, with a partner with the same or opposite sex. This might take longer than the relationship of you and your computer monitor. A guy might have to take a girl to a dinner and then build up that connection over time to go to the southern hemisphere. But some guys or girls have the talent or the charm of getting straight to the point of wanting that tension in the air. They meet in a bar or club, flirt a little and then off to the soft comforter or sofa if they don't have the time, may be just against the window wall so that everyone can see from the other building. For some they will just pay a visit to the red house and pick the choices as they please with all of their fantasy that they want to. All of these fornication or self-fornication are just attempts to chase the guilt, the guilt that we all will get at the end. We might not realize it at first but eventually it will appear the least when you want to expect it. You feel like shit after climax in front of your keyboard after searching your dream girl of your life at Facebook. Your girlfriend found our about you and that dancer at the club. The girl is late for her monthly expectation. You realize that you became a lousy father ten years later. It is the chase, the hunt for a dream, a fantasy that you build in the complicated head of yourself and you want it to be special. Well at least that's what I did. May be that's the consequences of having to drown myself in the world of moving pictures and written words (not much of the literature).
I seek for happiness, whether it is in my life or the life of others. I think that I speak for others as well in this matter. May be not for some psychopath killers with some sick and kinky desire of hurting others. But to make sense of it it may be the happiness they seek. The problem of happiness is that it never last. I tried to make it last as long as I can. I tried to put it on a leash, put it in a box, lock it up in a vault so that it never escapes or run away. But what is the point of keeping it to myself? The point of having happiness is that so you can share it with some one, any one you love. You best friend, your girlfriend, your boyfriend, you wife or husband or who ever that is close to you, it could be you fish. That is why some people are just selfish, egocentric, self-loving bastard. I put myself away from all of the socialization that could put me in a better situation or at least a companion. Someone that I can share my thoughts with. Someone that I can argue if Notting Hill is the best romantic comedy movie ever made or not. It is that someone that I want to tell first if I get found a million dollars on the road. But hell, I can't even get close enough to a girl to reveal that kind of interest to her. What keeps me happy is that I still can see her smile from meters away across the room, I can hear her laugh at the hall where there are hundreds of people around and she doesn't care. I see her working with such passion that she is determine the world is on the palm of her hands. She makes pressure becomes a breeze as she set sails to her goal. A simple expression of tenderness from her would throw away all of the burden I had carried from a day of work that weighs a ton. It may seem that this articulation would sum up to the term of stalking. It is not stalking if you are friend with the person. I guess that the term pussy would be the right expression for this. Hey, no guts no glory right. But I'm still happy just for those things that I see everyday. What else could I ask for if she is joyful with someone else that she can share her happiness with.
You may call it love but it doesn't have to be with a person. We can get excited over a new promotion, a new status in the office with a slightly bigger pay on the side. You will smile all the way, weeks long. That is until you are burden with a massive pile of shit work you have to do that comes along with the promotion you excepted, it's like signing a contract with the devil. For some it's money, others are objects. Painters, sculptors, artists, architects, filmmakers, poets and many others who are in love in their arts more than any other objects in the whole universe. More closely they are in love with themselves. As they projects their work on a canvas or paper or film they are putting part of themselves, a little piece of their inner self out of them. They kept on doing that as they creates more, the more they do the more they create. It's like being a narcissistic, never get enough of themselves. I have a friend who always look at himself in the mirror every time he gets the chance. But he's no artist or anything, he's more like a writer for the tube. It's not what he does is much artistic or anything so I wouldn't say that his work is one of the work of arts. He does say that he would love to be an actor some day and being adored by fans that surround him and love him so much until they would throw themselves to him. Again, narcissistic. From that I think back and ask to myself, aren't we all narcissistic? We are happy and proud of any accomplishment we made, finishing the million dollar project, perfected the screwed up system in the office, having that someone you aim since primary school, sending ten percent of your salary to the two beloved ones back home. Deep inside we are proud of ourselves and think, “Damn, I'm fucking good”.
Guilt is a pleasure that I think everyone hunts and dig. It is like having a fear of getting caught, or being the asshole you are of cheating with another girl. It is a chase and having the sensation of achievements that you have never done before in you life and you might think, “Hey why not try it once in you life” kind of thing. But there's always a catch on every pleasure that you get. To have sex before marriage is one, I am pretty sure that most major religion in the world states that it is forbidden. But we, as human as we are, want it so badly as our hormones and sexual drive builds up as we grow older. So what do we do if the most basic fundamental guidelines had taught us to obey what 'the book' told us to? We turn to the alternatives, for some people, we explore what is it that makes up the essentials of intimacy. Different cultures have different terms for that particular activity. Some calls it pleasuring yourself, stroking the salami (gosh, that sounds even profound for me) or the normal term that society use is called masturbation. Well the doctors say it is a perfectly healthy exercise. You can even practice it daily. It releases stress, relaxing and it feels good. Doesn't take much to wonder and tools to do it, may be for some or the female gender they might want some toys to have more fun in the process. But that's not important, it is the result that makes it important. You fantasies, you reach the south region, you pet it or wank it hard, you releases and you lay back. To some they prefer to go all the way, with a partner with the same or opposite sex. This might take longer than the relationship of you and your computer monitor. A guy might have to take a girl to a dinner and then build up that connection over time to go to the southern hemisphere. But some guys or girls have the talent or the charm of getting straight to the point of wanting that tension in the air. They meet in a bar or club, flirt a little and then off to the soft comforter or sofa if they don't have the time, may be just against the window wall so that everyone can see from the other building. For some they will just pay a visit to the red house and pick the choices as they please with all of their fantasy that they want to. All of these fornication or self-fornication are just attempts to chase the guilt, the guilt that we all will get at the end. We might not realize it at first but eventually it will appear the least when you want to expect it. You feel like shit after climax in front of your keyboard after searching your dream girl of your life at Facebook. Your girlfriend found our about you and that dancer at the club. The girl is late for her monthly expectation. You realize that you became a lousy father ten years later. It is the chase, the hunt for a dream, a fantasy that you build in the complicated head of yourself and you want it to be special. Well at least that's what I did. May be that's the consequences of having to drown myself in the world of moving pictures and written words (not much of the literature).
I seek for happiness, whether it is in my life or the life of others. I think that I speak for others as well in this matter. May be not for some psychopath killers with some sick and kinky desire of hurting others. But to make sense of it it may be the happiness they seek. The problem of happiness is that it never last. I tried to make it last as long as I can. I tried to put it on a leash, put it in a box, lock it up in a vault so that it never escapes or run away. But what is the point of keeping it to myself? The point of having happiness is that so you can share it with some one, any one you love. You best friend, your girlfriend, your boyfriend, you wife or husband or who ever that is close to you, it could be you fish. That is why some people are just selfish, egocentric, self-loving bastard. I put myself away from all of the socialization that could put me in a better situation or at least a companion. Someone that I can share my thoughts with. Someone that I can argue if Notting Hill is the best romantic comedy movie ever made or not. It is that someone that I want to tell first if I get found a million dollars on the road. But hell, I can't even get close enough to a girl to reveal that kind of interest to her. What keeps me happy is that I still can see her smile from meters away across the room, I can hear her laugh at the hall where there are hundreds of people around and she doesn't care. I see her working with such passion that she is determine the world is on the palm of her hands. She makes pressure becomes a breeze as she set sails to her goal. A simple expression of tenderness from her would throw away all of the burden I had carried from a day of work that weighs a ton. It may seem that this articulation would sum up to the term of stalking. It is not stalking if you are friend with the person. I guess that the term pussy would be the right expression for this. Hey, no guts no glory right. But I'm still happy just for those things that I see everyday. What else could I ask for if she is joyful with someone else that she can share her happiness with.
You may call it love but it doesn't have to be with a person. We can get excited over a new promotion, a new status in the office with a slightly bigger pay on the side. You will smile all the way, weeks long. That is until you are burden with a massive pile of shit work you have to do that comes along with the promotion you excepted, it's like signing a contract with the devil. For some it's money, others are objects. Painters, sculptors, artists, architects, filmmakers, poets and many others who are in love in their arts more than any other objects in the whole universe. More closely they are in love with themselves. As they projects their work on a canvas or paper or film they are putting part of themselves, a little piece of their inner self out of them. They kept on doing that as they creates more, the more they do the more they create. It's like being a narcissistic, never get enough of themselves. I have a friend who always look at himself in the mirror every time he gets the chance. But he's no artist or anything, he's more like a writer for the tube. It's not what he does is much artistic or anything so I wouldn't say that his work is one of the work of arts. He does say that he would love to be an actor some day and being adored by fans that surround him and love him so much until they would throw themselves to him. Again, narcissistic. From that I think back and ask to myself, aren't we all narcissistic? We are happy and proud of any accomplishment we made, finishing the million dollar project, perfected the screwed up system in the office, having that someone you aim since primary school, sending ten percent of your salary to the two beloved ones back home. Deep inside we are proud of ourselves and think, “Damn, I'm fucking good”.

Covers
I just love cover songs. these vids are the home versions of cover songs. these are the unknown people that we might not know but has great talents. and many of them are not afraid to improvise.
Cannon Rock by Jerry C
This Jerry started the Cannon Rockexplosion in the net. since then other people followed his step. many has failed. none was as cool as he is.
The NEW Cannon Rock by Matt
Then came this guy,he's French, he was the most amazing cannon rock improvise after Jerry. man he's awesome and he's young. damn teens bastard for being a prodigy.
Boyce Avenue - Iris
Yes it's that Goo Goo Dolls song from that City of Angel movie with Nicholas Cage and Meg Ryan in it which I think the best angel movie I've seen so far for romance. This is by far the best cover I've found in the internet for this song. do check out their other covers in their channel Boyce Avenue. They're are The Killers - Mr. Brightside, Snow Patrol - Chasing Cars, The Verve Pipe - The Freshmen, and many more... and they're all acoustic. they are awesome cover band. Hey the Rolling Stones started off as a cover band as well you know.
The Mario Bros LAND
At this section there will be a few covers that are done by fans that are just amazing on improvising this classical tune. If you are born in the 70's and 80's for sure you have this tune in your head. If you are a gamer you have to be an idiot not to know this tune. If you have actually touch a console and do not know the tune, you're another idiot. Hahaha
First up, is the Japanese dude. I think he's Japanese, on his electric guitar. The sound is not that great but great technique. even though he made a little mistake at almost at the end. but it's still awesome.
Next is the classical version of it. I believe that he's either Spanish or Mexican, I'm not sure. but this is a not to be missed performance on a classical guitar.
Ever seen a 11 sting bass? well this guy had it custom made and I think he did a test sound in the workshop with this tune. hahaha funny looking bass man...
To top it all of I truly believe that this guy is maestro in improvising the Mario Bros Theme song, on Drums! yep. 10 million view and still counting, I think I contributed to 50 of them views. Don't you just love watching people playing drums? It's just mesmerizing. Do check out his other posts as well as he did Mario Bros 2 and 3 Theme song. as well as the Simpsons' soundtrack and other famous songs or themes with his own touch Vadrum. If you love music and drums you will absolutely love this guy.
Speaking ofSimpsons, I'll close this session with an acoustic performance by I think it's a college dude in his dorm with his 'Kapok' guitar.
That's the end for now. next up I would like to post a little bit more websites related and drum videos! I'm into the drum machine fever nowadays.

well well well...
yes it's been ages since I posted the last one. I believe it's more than a month or so. well that sets it, I can't stick to one commitment for a long period of time. What a lazy bastard. hahaha!!!
here it goes again.
First up the vid 10 Funniest "Trips" from The Simpsons is kindda funny to think that Simpsons do get stoned sometimes.
Next is the NTU teacher feedback. big LOL man. I believe that most students in Singapore would have seen this video. I just have to post it up coz it's just classic.
I stumbled upon this site about advice on getting cheap flights. it's kind of interesting and some of the tips and tricks on how to get the tickets are is sort of doable. but I believe that most of these tips are for American flights destinations or Aviation companies. But just check it out if you like to read. How to Get Cheap Flights
Lets say you have a guitar on your hand, playing in front of the computer, you wanna practice with a beat. some times the beat in head isn't that consistent. So you would need a metronome. hehehe... try out this website. it give you a beat to get down to. lol... practice makes perfect. Metronome Online
I would guess that almost every user or member of Friendster, Myspace or Multiply is on Facebook right now. SO I got this website where you can do some fun or make Facebook a little bit more interesting if you are bored with some of the function. It's a few tips and tricks by some guy in the net. kindda cool 20 Facebook Tips/Tricks You Might Not Know.
I am a Firefox person. I hate using the IE, especially IE. It just sucks to the max. I love the interface of Firefox so I would like to browse and surf the net with it. But then sometimes you go to work or friends house they don't really use it. especially in the office where only the admin can install it. well this website Pen drive apps is very cool. It contains a lot of portable applications that you can carry it on your thumb drive. One of them is Firefox. So you do not need to install anything since the driver itself is in the thumb drive already. There are many more application that you can download for free. like the Open Office (it's the freeware version of Microsoft Office and it acts exactly the same, CD Burning software, Photo editor software, etc. Now you can't actually find the branded names here like Photoshop and Illustrator but you have something similar. One of my friend/colleague passed on to me the portable Photoshop, I have no idea where he got it but it was awesome and it's PS3. hahaha...
Oh man, I saw this and I was like WOW...
Ok you've probably seen guys get crazy over football and beers. They go nuts cheering on their favorite team with enthusiasm in a pub clanging their pints when their team win. well this is a-whole-nother level of sports for guys to cheer on. Check out the pic.
It's Copper's Hill Cheese-Rooling that is held in England. hahaha... some actually break their bones in this sport. Click on it for more...
This is what i love about surfing. One of every 10-20 mins that you truly surf you would find an interesting website that you just love and makes you laugh or happy inside.
This is one of the quote that Tyler Durden says in the movie Fight Club which is one of my fav movie of all time. That's not the point. This site Make My Mood is a collection of graphics and photographs of quotes, good quotes.
well, that's all for now. Thanks for surfing.

Simple boredom
Say, you're not doing anything and you wanna doodle or solve something or just write up sentences. These three sites will just do that for you. Three different things.
First up. You should know about sudoku. well this is the online version of it. it has different types of blocks and all. you can choose which ones for different difficulties.
Jigsawdoku
Nest up is a random website that i found. it's like you know those magnetic fridge words that some of you might have to leave messages for your room mate or friend. well this is the electronic version of it. some of the messages are quite interesting.
Magnetic Words
How can you differentiate a serial killer from a computer programmer? I would say they've got different obsession? nah... I bet you can't tell the difference as well from this website. it's quite funny though.

Fan Trailers
I'm pretty sure that most of you youtubers would know that when you are searching for movie trailers there could be a fake trailer of a movie uploaded somewhere and you feel disappointed. These are my favourite good quality ones. They really put in so much effort to put these movies together into one trailers. They just look amazing.
Green Lantern
This really surprised me. The editing, the compositing, the color, it's just wonderful. I just hope that the studio will pick this up as an idea for making the movie even though i'm not such a big fan of the Green Lantern but this does looks cool.
Thundercats
hahaha... this is quite hilarious yet amusing. seeing all the Hollywood stars together in this one movie. but i have to admit that the guy who made it really put in big time effort on compositing the faces. kudos.
Neo VS Robocop
Yea, what a wierd combination right? But hats off to the maker. the timing is just perfect. even though that you can see the cut out robocop when he falls down but you gotta give it to the maker, he's a genius. oh i think yoda was the highlight of the show for this. hahaha...
Superman & Batman\
Yea it might look fake, but i saw the making for this trailer. WOW!!! It's a real production that they did. cameras, lightings, cast members and crews, costumes and everything. even though they did it in a duration like a year or something but man, what a project. my respects to you guys.
Batman VS Predator VS Alien
Can you imagine? wow the title itself would really interest you to look at it. i'm a mivie buff so this is by far my fav fan movie made out there. again, i'm seen the making for this project and it was awesome. the props that they use are just astonishing. story was kindda good too. i watched this more than ten times and still entertained y it. I hope you guys too.

and the day begins
First you wake up and drag yourself up
get a cup of coffee on one hand and a cigarette on the other
Forget the man above you
so you take the train for your own reason to leave
You walk with the dead
packed like the popcorn you had last night
You wish you would save yourself
from the hole that's been digging itself
You wish the day would rain
to wash it all away
So we put down our name tag by night fall and drive
so we can drink down our sorrows and we laugh at each other
to feel better.

6 days
looks like I'm lagging on my post. well i just don't think that no one actually cares. and i don't believe that there's actually someone reading this. well i broke my commitment on posting my blog everyday. it's been 6 days i believe. dammit man, am i that lazy. or just too tired from all of the shits i go through.i don't know. but i would like to share music videos that i really think is original and inspiring to me. It's not just the videos, sometimes it's the song that really means something to me or it's just beautiful to listen to everyday.
Bright Eyes - First Day of My Life
Bright Eyes - Easy/Lucky/Free
Yea i know there are two Bright Eyes artists there, but I really think that these two videos describes simplicity beats any other effects or massive stunt budget stuff for making a video. I can't get bored watching these two videos. the actions delivers the message of the song. lol... literally. it's like this Bob Dylan video.
Bob Dylan - Subterranean Homesick Blues
I believe that the Dylan video was the first to do this kind of style.
Now this is kidda cute. If you are an MTV channel or Channel V you should know this video. I just love the Milk character.
Blur - Coffee and TV
The next video is by a rapper NAS. I listen to many rap songs before. songs about tragedy, gand fights, clubbing, sex, drugs and all of those things in between. I just don't know what is it about this song One Mic. I know that there are other songs like this out there by other artists. but when i was flipping through the tube one time then this song came in. It really strikes me. and blown away by what he's trying to say.
NAS - One Mic
Smashing Pumpkins is one of my top 10 favourite bands of all time and this vid captures the essence of youth. well may be American kids would do these silly stuff but i bet it goes across the world on the dull, funny, prank times we all had when we were teenagers.
Smashing Pumpkins - 1979
Ok... now i'm pissed. I know that may be i've been out of date on the tech news or about the internet. but then apparently videos have been removed here and there due to violation this copyright that and all that shits. man, i thought that youtube.com was the best invention after the internet. but i guess after google bought ever they have to filter everything. since they are the biggest internet company in the whole world, and i think they're trying to take aver the internet, they have to face copyright issues by recording label companies. i have like bunch of list to put in to show. DAMMIT!!! so i won't be surprise if some of the videos or all of the videos i posted will not be available any more. i'm sorry for this.
may be next time i'll just post live videos of best songs that i like since there seems to be more live versions of songs than the original videos.
Tada for now then.

Weekend ended
Well there goes the weekend again. Just passed by like the wind.
Today I feel like sharing some cool pics and graphics that I found. Some are interactive.
Hi-Def Pics - Gorgeous Landscapes of Scotland
Don't u just love looking at landscape. These are one of the most beautiful pictures I have seen yet. But I bet that they are too true to be real. The adjustment of camera features and a little bit of photoshop can go a long way. May be it's just as real a s it seems. but hey wat do i know, i've never been to Scotland before.
Antilimit
Here's another beautiful photographs by Eric Gustafson. He's got some extensive collection of photographs, good amazing ones. I hope he doesn't mail me to take down the picture I post here.
Ballpoint pen art
Now you probably won't believe me that the picture above is not a photograph. But this guy is the real deal. He draws his art with blue Bic pen! lol yea the one that we use at the office or college or at home.
Glennz Concept
Ah... comical t-shirt design. I think there's a word for that. shit I forgot what it is called. You know by wearing these kindda t-shirts it don't just benefits you. I mean you've got a cool t-shirt for one, you make strangers to laugh a bit in their heart, you're colleagues would appreciate it and have a good conversation about it. It's a really fun way of wearing a simple design shirt isn't it. oh the real store is here Glennz
CANADA : The Land of Beautiful People
Human is the most interesting subject to be photograph for. It shows a lot of characters, stories. and i think the phrase a picture says a thousand words is very true especially it is a human subject. And I really believe that these photoes are not Computer Graphics. I know that the picture above resembles the Afghan girl that was featured on the cover of the June 1985 issue of National Geographic Magazine. So wat the hell, i like to post it may be that's one of the reason as well that i want to share with.
The Afghan Girl
27 Fantastic Vectors
Isn't vectors are just fucking amazing? gosh they're like the 21st Century painting. The new canvas is your monitor and posters, wallpaper, or t-shirts is your wall to mount it on. well all of the sources from the website above is taken from the ever amazing Deviant Art which is one of my favorite art scene in the net. Gosh! there are some brilliant and talented people out there.
Well I will end this post with a site where you can doodle like wat you can do with paint in windows. but isn't it cooler to do it from the web? hahaha enjoy Web Sketch

Glennz Concept
Ah... comical t-shirt design. I think there's a word for that. shit I forgot what it is called. You know by wearing these kindda t-shirts it don't just benefits you. I mean you've got a cool t-shirt for one, you make strangers to laugh a bit in their heart, you're colleagues would appreciate it and have a good conversation about it. It's a really fun way of wearing a simple design shirt isn't it. oh the real store is here Glennz
CANADA : The Land of Beautiful People
Human is the most interesting subject to be photograph for. It shows a lot of characters, stories. and i think the phrase a picture says a thousand words is very true especially it is a human subject. And I really believe that these photoes are not Computer Graphics. I know that the picture above resembles the Afghan girl that was featured on the cover of the June 1985 issue of National Geographic Magazine. So wat the hell, i like to post it may be that's one of the reason as well that i want to share with.
The Afghan Girl
27 Fantastic Vectors
Isn't vectors are just fucking amazing? gosh they're like the 21st Century painting. The new canvas is your monitor and posters, wallpaper, or t-shirts is your wall to mount it on. well all of the sources from the website above is taken from the ever amazing Deviant Art which is one of my favorite art scene in the net. Gosh! there are some brilliant and talented people out there.
Well I will end this post with a site where you can doodle like wat you can do with paint in windows. but isn't it cooler to do it from the web? hahaha enjoy Web Sketch

Connection Lost
I couldn't go online last night. It was working fine in the morning as I was logged in at WOW (World of Warcraft) before i went for work. Then when i came back my torrent went offline. everything else seems to be connected. and there's no sign of connection that is lost. I looked at my modem and the online light was not on at all. dozens things going through my mind. one of them was that i thought i might be tracked down and they cut the connection after they found out that I've downloaded hundreds of shows, songs and movies. so I reset my modem like a dozen times, restarted my computer twice and waited and waited. I watched two movies before I decided to go to bed. Domino and Atlantis. I thought that there might be some glitch some where in the system or something that they ganna solve over night. Then the morning came. DAMMIT! it's still offline. so fuck it, i'm going to go to work first. So i called up STARHUB when i got back from work, which it was still offline. so i made up some stuff that i need to send important email or something and that i paid up on time every time and blah blah blah and i got this kind of treatment. they said, well she said, that they ganna gimme a call as soon as they know wat's the problem from the technical team. so i asked "around what time will I received this call?" she said, "I'm not sure, may be tonight or tomorrow." I was like what the buck right? so i just sigh and hang up. within ten minutes after i reset my modem, DING! the online lights is on. Bastard STARHUB.
So this post i'm ganna post up the best way to download shits of the internet. it's like a way of me getting pissed of at STARHUB for making me offline for one and a half day.
Now the best way of downloading stuff from the internet is by using torrent file. well for a small fry like me is very god and it's free. no payment needed to be made at any level. If any of you don't know what bittorent file is all about please read it through here BitTorrent.
Here's my list of the best free torrent clients:
This is what I use.
Here's the sites you can download the torrent files:
This is the site i always go to. some prefer others like the ones listed below but i like this one because of the arrangement of the files. they put extra effort on arranging individual torrents.
This is one of the many most popular site as well.
Well i guess this site is THE ONE that made BitTorrent exploded and famous through out the world. You can read it in various sources of news about the history of pirate bay but this is the Wiki page of The Pirate Bay history. Respect boys, respect.
This page is quite nice where people can actually request their fav shows or movies in the forum and then others will help them finding the links or upload the torrent. it's a very good community.
I like this website too because of one thing, or one ripper, AXXO (wiki). If you are tired getting fooled by unknown rippers this is the site for you. I know how it feels like you waited hours sometimes days for your favorite shows to finish downloading then when you watch it, it's a cinema copy. some guy just taped the show from a cinema with a DV cam and upload it in the net. must be pain in the ass waiting for it. So this site is like a hub for the best rippers in the world out there. I mean it. The most trust worthy movie rippers that you can bet your money on it.
Now I would like to share a bit of info of these people that have put so much effort to give us the entertainment that we need.
AXXO is my favorite ripper by far because he always gives good movie copies every single uploads at a decent file size. some says that he's still a teenager some says he's in prison already. but no body knows his real name. reason being that he is so popular in the torrent community there are many forgers and imitators of him. so even the officials can't track him down. I believe that every single one of you out there who has downloaded a movie once in your life or get passed on from a friend has at least one of his ripped movie. his files would be indicated as "name.of.movie[year]DvDrip[Eng]-aXXo.avi". every single of his files would be seen as this so it can be distinguish easily. sadly, after three to four years following him, and his breaks in between, his had stopped again on March 11th 2009. His last upload was Punisher: War Zone (which I have by the way). He has uploaded more than a thousand torrents out there scattered around famous bittorent sites. There are others who are as good as he is and uploads almost everyday. These people are FXG, FxM, KLAXXON, DXO and much more. This is one article that I found insightful about AXXO from Slate.com.
Now enjoy these links and please seeds after you download. at least a day or two. no harm in that. Spread the entertainment!
