that's the end...i'll give you the answers after a few tries.
you know what makes me mad? how everyone seems to be average nowadays.
"I'm just an average guy" "you know, average" most about me's have the fact that they're average, well guess what I'M NOT AVERAGE!!!1
Being average is overrated, what if i don't want to be average. Well the average joe ain't gonna stop me!!! And what's so unaverage about me. This blog is one. How many people have posted that they're not average, huh??? If they have they're smart!!!!
And who are you to say i'm not average. For all you know i'm Bruce Springsteen, Rob Halford, Pete Townsend (all my famous people are musicians, live it, learn it, love the rock!) i could be anyone!!!
I could have a split tongue, two toes, 7 toes, two pupils...on each eye!!!! maybe i'm this guy
or this guy, 
or this guy
maybe i'm the president, or a canidate, maybe i AM stephen colbert, maybe i am the now retired manager of the beatles. i could be a prototype super-soldier or the model guy for master chief. I could be Stuttering Tom Or Handsome Craig (vice versa, my bad st and hc)
Maybe i'm a great artist, maybe i'm your favorite movie star. Maybe the reason i haven't given a name, age, or anything is because i don't want to lie or cause a big sensation. Who knows? You don't. I can almost promise you, you don't. And i want to tell hp, if you tell a word i'll hunt you down and slowly kill you.
Okay, rant over, i like to use commas, have you noticed?
These are some movies i've seen that i think are absolutely brilliant. I'm Gonna list them and then put what kinda peson would like it.
Citizen Kane-for the classic, black and white, great movie lover-Praised as the greatest film of all time, this is a true classic that is easily recommendable to just about anyone, definitely a must see of you like films of any kind, go rent it.
Halloween-For The Psychological Thriller movie lover- There's something about this movie. It's great in that it doesn't use buckets of blood and gore to terrify. It uses psychological fear. Much like BWP. Holds up terrifyingly well with one of the best musical scores ever.
Nightmare On Elmstreet-For The Buckets Of Blood Horror movie lover- this movie is about as different from Halloween as possible. Halloween is psychological and uses mind tricks and masked people to scare. This rips open guts and spills the blood upward in a gravity-defying move of pure gore. It may be crude but it works.
The Godfather (part 1)-Classic gangsters blowing people's heads off with deep family issues thrown in, c'mon who wouldn't love this- This is a great film. GREAT FILM!! I'd put it at the 2nd best movie ever personally, (Citizen Kane being #1, sorry if that sounds familiar but it's true) It has so many classic lines and scenes
"YOU CAN ACT LIKE A MAN!!!"
"Du Braci sleeps with the fishes"
The Baptism Scene
The Horse Head Scene
The Moe Greene Special
Every Othe Scene In The Movie
Marlon Brando's incredible performance. Best performance i've ever seen (personally)
This is a great movie, like Kane, easily recommendable to anyone you're hurting yourself if you don't get this, and your doing yourself a favor if you do. GET IT!!! (or do as i did) AND RENT IT!!!!
Blair Witch Project-Pyschological Terror lover- Take Halloween and make it 1000000000000x scarier. You get BWP. It's that scary. It twists the human psyche, this is scariest film i've ever seen, but not for the faint of heart. If you scare easily then don't watch this. If you love getting scared and are interested in human psychology and terror's effect on it the pick it up. The Actor's performance was incredible. I'd never heard of it before i saw it and my friend said it was real, that it was a real doucmentary attempt by college students, was all over the news at the time and caused a big stir when it was found. I believed it up to the time i saw the ending credits. The Performance was so incredible, as far as i was concerned, these were three college kids on a doomed documentary. Incredible, just incredible.
this song is by dio and i believe this is the first of the "Must Hear" series that i have something to say about. I personally think this is a very underrated song. This song is as good if not better than Holy Diver and as good as Rainbow In The Dark. And while, like most dio songs, some parts are cheesy, overall the music video is very good. Very good song.

further proving the point that hard does not mean bad in gaming. This is one hard game, i haven't passed the first level. In true Contra fashion it's a one hit death and you've got ten lives.
Every musically inclined person i know discouraged me from Bruce. That's the consequences of having Metal Obsessed friends. But hey when it comes to music it is a fool who denies when they like somethning. And damn i love bruce springsteen (as an artist). This is an incredible album (BELIEVE THE HYPE!!!) and i love it so much i'm gonna give you my opinion on every single song.
1. Radio Nowhere- This song has a very bluesy feel to it. And i like that. This song as far as i can tell is about the deterioation of the radio. Like bruce says all he wants is to hear some rhythm. And it gets hard to find that rhythm. This is a really great song, but not the best. 9.3/10
2. You'll Be Comin' Down- This has an intensly lazy kinda feel to it. Don't ask me what that means cause i don't know. Excellent song. 9.1/10
3. Livin' In The Future- If not the best song in the album it's up there. It has one of the best fitting lines in any song i've ever heard. What's that. "Or Is That Just The Sinking Sound Of Something Righteous Goin' Under" man that's a good line!!! 9.7/10
4. Your Own Worst Enemy- Am i the only one who is reminded of "Santa Claus IsComing To Town" when i hear this? Either way this is a GREAT song. 9.5/10
5. Gypsy Biker- This song, i think is talking about a soldier from iraq coming home? i dunno. I do know that this is a very good song and is a very contemplative kinda song. 8.9/10
6. Girls In Their Summer Clothes- Excellent beat, very addicting very comtemplative...again. 1/1 jk 9.2/10
7. I'll Work For Your Love- This sounds like he's talking about america. What others would want for free he'll actually work to fix and help america instead of just talking about how sucky the politicians are. :D 9.0/10
8. Magic- My personal favorite off the album it's short but really makes you think. It's heavy in it's use of metaphor and simile. It's one of those songs that has many different meaningsfor different people (like stairway to heaven or she talks to angels) 9.8/10
9. Last To Die- I really don't think this needs much of an explanation. Once you've listened to the whole album and get the meanings and lyrics i think it becomes glaringly obvious what this song is about 9.5/10
10.Long Walk Home-Once again a glaringly obvious meaning once you immerse yourself. 9.3/10
11. Devil's Arcade- What is it about this song that just screams awesomeness 9.7/10
12. Terry's Song- It gets bonus points for being sentimental. Really great song and this is the reason why you shouldn't buy it on iTunes. If you must have it on your iPod import it. 9.7/10 (again)
And the average issssssssssss( i actually do the math)
8.625?!?!?! this calculator has to be broken. Let me do that again on a calculator that is NOT on my computer
*does calculations*
okay this albums real score is 9.0/10. A true must hear. Welcome back boss.
I have decided to start aseries blog on my opinion. If you have something against my opinion then don't read. I have no problem with flames, constructive criticism, or idiots. It's just that you guys are polluting the forums. But i'll accept you because idiots have a funny way of being uninsultable because their words usually speak for themselves :D yes that's my opinion. your about to hear alot more of it.
I will do any request. It may take a while (patience is a virtue people) but i'll do it. don't you worry.
YESSSSSSSS!!! last night was spent at the staples center seeing Ozzy and Rob Zombie and unexpectedly (for me) In A Moment. I'll go through it chronologically. I'd never heard of In A Moment before but they were pretty good. I looked them up on Wiki and it says they're Melodic Metalcore. But i've never been one to trust Wiki (seeing as it lied about GNR :P) so i'll go ahead with my and those around me first impression. Death Metal. Although the difference (as far as i'm concerned) is extremely slight.
Anyways the lead singer was a girl and came out in a white dress. Which was cleverly contrasted to her vocals which made YOUR throat hurt just listening to it. She screamed incredibly loud into the microphone so that i couldn't make out a single lyric. But wiki didn't lie about some parts being melodic when she mellowed out and sang softer (softer being a relative term) and then started up screaming again. They were the opening act for Rob Zombie and they did they're job. They got me standing up, my addrenaline pumping and me (and the entire audience) screaming for more. Then Rob Zombie came on.
I'm sorry In A Moment but Rob Zombie blew you away. They had a huge devil head on stage a guy in an 11 foot tall metal robot costume (think Eddy) and monitors that showed scenes from they're movies and other movies. All of them of the Horror genre of course. And they were loud. They were LOUD. Naturally everyone was on their feet and when they came off i truly thought that there was no way Ozzy could match them. I'm a HUGE ozzy fan but how could you beat that performance. Ozzy was about to show me just how you could beat that performance.
After Zombie a huge screen came down and a projector put the OZZY OSBOURNE symbol on it (aka: the cover for Black Rain) Then the lights went off. The crowd started screaming (me among them of course) and then the scene showed a several parodies including ozzy. Ever seen ozzy as gandalf? well just think of that only in a lot more shows. The first one involved him as Captain Jack Sparrow and biting off a parrots head and the other parodies included Lost, The Queen, and others that i didn't recognize but were just as funny none the less. Then the screen dropped and ozzy came on screaming. He says **** a lot. Of course you knew that didn't you?
So ozzy comes on asking us if we're ****ing ready. Then jumps into the setlist. He spoke a lot between the songs, one time he said we're weren't "****ing crazy enough for the ozzman" and waited till we got crazy enough then comes back on stage and starts "Not Going Away" (get then hidden pun there, was i the only one who got it?) One of the best parts was the multiple times he pulled out a hose and sprayed the first 5 or so rows with beer. At first i thought it was foam but then he says "Waste of good beer though" and (as pointed out to me) a cup of beer costs 8$ (there) and he was spraying out the stuff by the gallon. Also pretty funny was when people started throwing beers back at him. One point he almost got hit but sprayed the cup back into the audience with his beer gun. Then enter the longest guitar solo I'VE seen yet. It was Zakk Wylde (no it was chuck berry OF COURSE it was Zakk Wylde)with tributes to Eddie Van Halen (when he played Eruption) and tributes to Jimi Hendrix (end of the solo when he played Star Spangled Banner) Slash i think Zakk Wylde just took your spot at #1. When the main setlist is over does ozzy just do the encores? OF COURSE NOT. You want to get another song you had to work for it. How did you work for it? YOU (and i qoute) GO F***ING CRAZY!!!!!!! he told us to chant "One More Song" and we did. So he comes back on and plays "Mama I'm Coming Home" which live is a really great song. Then (without any prompting whatsoever, ozzy isn't even on stage at this point) the audience again starts chanting "One More Song" except for a group of people next to me who were chanting "Two More Songs" then ozzy comes back out and does paranoid with a lot of explicit commentary beside. Then the incredible night is over.
It's worth mentioning that that was the first concert i'd been to where everyone was standing up and screaming through EVERY ACT. There were about 2 people in the entire sold out audience that weren't standing up and screaming constantly. Of course during songs you scream the lyrics while in between you scream period. I had been disappointed in the past with Rush, Deep Purple, Blue Oyster Cult, Edgar Winters, and Van Halen because they failed in completing the rock and roll mood by getting the entire audience to stand. I wanted to stand at all of them but i didn't want to act like a jerk to the people behind me. Only at key moments at those other tours did people stand (Rush: Dreamline, Van Halen: Guitar Solo, Deep Purple: Smoke On The Water) but at one point ozzy actually said "I can't ***ing HEAR YOU!!!" "I STILL CAN'T ****ING HEAR YOU" "I'M NOT CONTINUING UNTIL I CAN ****ING HEAR YOU!!!!!!!!!!" it was awesome. It was a night i will never forget for i do declare that so far that is the best concert i've ever been to (with rush in CLOSE second)
okay. As anyone who knows me knows i've been growing out my hair. It's taken along time but i'm starting to see results. But here's the deal. On one of the threads in the Xiaolin Showdown forums i swore that if at any point they create a full-fledged Season Four to XS then i would shave my head. Down to a buzz. Swear.
I Swear That If A Season Four For The Animated Series "Xiaolin Showdown" is created and is officially aired on television involving Christy Hui the creator then I Heylin_Force (sorry, not putting my real name) Will Shave My Head To A Buzz At The Next Possible Oppurtunity.
