Blog from the Underground

Edit 4/17/2007 This was written Sunday but I was unable to add the photos until today...so enjoy.

Got quite a bit of exercise today. Krishen and I went to the Natural Bridge Caverns. We did the north tour, through about three "rooms" and another shorter one called Jaremy's room. I'll let the photos speak for themselves...
















Take nothing but pictures.
Leave nothing but footprints.
Kill nothing but time.

Four Things

1: Last Post
Hope you enjoyed April Fool's :)

2: New Gear

Like it?
What the hell kind of guitar is that?
This is the controller for Guitar Hero II for the Xbox 360. Very very cool game. They have a release for the playstation 2 as well. I would highly suggest it to anybody. It's one of those fun ones I think people will be playing at parties. You use the buttons at the top of the neck to "fret" the notes and a lever on the body to strum. The songs included are really really good and include (But definitely not limited to):
Mother - Danzig
Possum Kingdom - Toadies
Them Bones - Alice in Chains
Last Child - Aerosmith
Killing in the Name - Rage Against the Machine
Sweet Child O' Mine - Guns and Roses
FREE BIRD!!!! - Lynyrd Skynyrd
Over all very fun but it's gonna make your fingers sore.

3: Texas
Yeah. Texas. Pray.

4: Photos
Nice little tidbit but I gotta give props to zoto for restoring my photos after I renewed my account...looks like I don't have to go fixing broken links all over the place. WHEEEEE!!!!!!

Gotta go laundry calls...and I gotta find my iPod...or #3 is really gonna suck.

Essence Of Part Deux

Okay so a couple of years through a friend's blog I expressed an idea. That idea was to create a CD that contained the essence of you. The only rule was that it had to fit uncompressed on an audio CD. Now here was my CD from that time:

Bullet With Butterfly Wings - Smashing Pumpkins
Blame - Gravity Kills
I Stand Alone - Godsmack
Sinner - Drowning Pool
Pardon Me - Incubus
My Own Worst Enemy - Lit
Self-Esteem - The Offspring
Tourniquet - Evanesence
Jaded - The Crystal Method
Only Happy When it Rains - Garbage
From the Inside - Linkin Park
I Hate Everything About You - Three Days Grace
Black Cloud - Crazy Town
A Stroke of Luck - Garbage
No Leaf Clover - Metallica
The Impression that I Get - The Mighty Mighty Bosstones
The Best is Yet to Come Undone - Lit
Song About Nuthin' - Powerman 5000

All in all some pretty dark stuff...so what would happen if I were to do it again now? I mean things have changed. I've changed. So I'm goin' to post it here and give people the chance to reflect on how a couple of years might have changed them.

So Yesterday - Hillary Duff
Beautiful - Christina Aguilera
Let Me Love You - Mario
Because of You - Marquest Houston
Here with Me - Michelle Branch
This is My Time - Raven-Symon
Bump, Bump, Bump - B2K & Diddy
Fighter - Christina Aquilera
Get the Party Started - Pink
Lucky - Brittney Spears
Crazy in Love - Beyonce
Rock Your Body - Justin Timberlake
Lonely No More - Clay Aiken

Quick Movie Question Slow Movie Answer

The answer to the movie trivia questions is none other than......Nicolas Kim Coppola. WHO!? That's right mister Ghost Rider himself Nick Cage. Mr Cage revealed to Jay Leno that he was quite the comic buff (might explain the casting for Ghost Rider a bit). Said he oftens considers comics to be today's mythology. In order to make a name for his own and not ride his father's coattails he took on the name of comic book character, Luke Cage. Luke Cage was one of the first black comic book characters. So who was his Daddy? Francis Ford Coppola...dem's big shoes to fill.
