Happy account birthday to me.

no lube

I didn't do shit to celebrate!

Soldier1: Did I ever tell you about my uncle, the farmer?
Soldier2: No, what about your uncle the farmer?
Soldier1: Well, my uncle's a farmer and has this bull named "Big". Everything about it is perfect. Except for one thing.
Soldier2: Ja, what's that?
Soldier1: Its eyes. They're crossed. My uncle knew he could win first prize at the local fair if he could only fix the Bull's eyes.
Soldier1: He tried everything to fix it; the vet, home remedies, you name it.
Soldier2: So what did he do?
Soldier1: One day a new farmhand, who wasn't too smart, saw Big and said to my uncle:
Soldier1: You want I should fix that there bull's eyes for you?
Soldier1: My uncle said, "you can fix it?" To which the farmhand said:
Soldier1: Sure. You got a lead pipe?
Soldier2: A lead pipe you said?
Soldier1: Yeah. Being as my uncle he tried everything, he said, "Yeah, I guess, there's one in the shed. I'll go get it."
Soldier1: He came back and handed the pipe to the farmhand. The farmhand took the pipe and shoved it right up Big's ass.
Soldier2: Up his ass?!
Soldier1: Yeah. But before my uncle could even say anything, the farmhand blew into the pipe as hard as he could. Unbelievably, the bull's eyes uncrossed!
Soldier2: Scheise!
Soldier1: Wait, wait, I'm not done. So the next day my uncle wants to take the bull to the fair since its eyes are now fixed.
Soldier1: But when he and the farmhand check the bull that morning, its eyes are crossed again.
Soldier1: My uncle says, "Let me try that trick." He takes the lead pipe, shoves it in poor Big's rump, and blows. Nothing happens. He tries again. Still nothing.
Soldier1: He tries one more time. The veins in his forehead and neck bulge, his face turns red, he's blowing that hard.
Soldier2: Let me guess: nothing.
Soldier1: Yeah. So the farmhand says:
Soldier1: Here. Let me do it. You're doin' it wrong.
Soldier1: He then proceeds to pull the pipe out, turn it around and shove it back in. The farmhands just about to put his mouth on the filthy pipe end-
Soldier2: Ugh.
Soldier1: -when my uncle says, "What the hell are you doing, boy?" and the farmhand replies:
Soldier1: You don't think I want your germs do you?
Soldier2: Oh, Christ!
Soldier2: That didn't really happen did it?
Soldier1: It's a joke.
Soldier2: Oh ja, I heard that one before.
Soldier1: Wha-?

shit's gonna be great

I actually got around to organizing a list of music I like. There are some bands that only have a couple of songs that I know and like, so I left them out. These include the Who, David Bowie, the Beatles, Metallica, and more. I only have one classical artist right now, but I may add more in the future after I've listened to more. I'm especially interested in Bach, Paganini, and Mussorgsky, but there are others.

edit:

Whenever I discover more bands that I like, I'll add them here.

The band, Negura Bunget has a Romanian letter in its name, but NG freaks out when I try to use it, so I just replaced it with an "a".

Here's what happens when I try to use the letter...

%u0103

edit:
There just might be a band or two missing from this list. I was looking over it and realized that Electric Wizard and Winds were not there before. I don't know how that happened, but this could mean that there are others not there that should be there.

My account birthday is coming up soon. I'm gonna be tweeeee years ole. Somebody better make me a cake, and it better be delicious. And I want a big wheel because I'm a big kid now. >:(

I was a pretty shitty user when I signed up in May of '05. I would say dumb things, I would argue, I was an annoying wap, and I had pretty bad taste. And I wouldn't put much thought into my posts. It didn't occur to me to take some time to think about what to say and capitalize letters and spell check. I brought my faggotry into the Anime Club pretty soon after I joined. I had a different user name, then. It was a dumb wap name with numbers at the end. What a shocker! There were plenty of worse users, though. I wasn't that bad, but I was bad enough.

So, yeah, I've certainly improved greatly since then. I'm proud to say I'm not a wap who loves everything Japanese and I don't have such a shit taste in music, film, or television. Hooray for me.

And the chapman stick is the best instrument ever. Am I right or am I not wrong?

Adrian Belew looks funny with that hair. I think the pink suit jacket looks cool, though. Maybe I'm just weird.

So we can post videos now, eh?

I recently discovered that the same person who did the score for the Tenchu games also did the scores for Way of the Samurai 1 and 2 as well as the Rurouni Kenshin series.

I love the soundtracks to Tenchu 2, Tenchu 3, and Way of the Samurai 2, and the Rurouni Kenshin soundtrack has some decent stuff as well, though the show may not be all that good. I kind of like it, although that's probably because I liked it so much when I was younger. I've become a bit atatched to the characters, as lame as that sounds.

So, I have come to the conclusion that this Asakura fellow is awesome.

I'm listening to the Tenchu 3 OST as I type this. It's a great combination of folk and electronic/ambient. I love it.
