NEW ATR VIDEO!!!
Not Alone by All That Remains
No more are the days that I will
Fear for I have found a strength that
None can match and I'll push forward
Never has the blood in my viens
Flowed so fiercely as when i feel this around me
I am whole
I'm not alone
With the touch of your hand
I am whole again
I'm not alone
With the touch of your hand
I am whole again
Now I feel the passion burning
This what drives me further strengthens
My resolve to push me further
(and I believe, that I am not alone)
I'm not alone!
I'm not alone
With the touch of your hand
I am whole again
I'm not alone
With the touch of your hand
I am whole again
No more are the days that I will
Fear for I have found a strength that
None can match and I'll push forward
Now I feel the passion burning
This what drives me further strengthens
My resolve to push me further
I'm not alone (I'm not alone)
With the touch of your hand
I am whole again
I'm not alone (I'm not alone)
With the touch of your hand
I am whole again
(I am whole again)
(I am whole again)

So here I am. I'm 18. I heard this was supposed to be some kind of milestone in one's life. Well...
I'll try not to say too much.
I always grew up expecting quite a bit on my birthday. When I was younger I was always thinking about getting this or that for my birthday. I was kinda a spoilt idiot. Then slowly, my 'expectations' (if that's what you want to call it) did not get met.
Even as I started to grow up and began to lower my expectations, there were always certain things that I wanted and in a way I somehow got disappointed every year. But do not mistake me, I am still grateful for all that I got. But then I look at my life now and I wonder, 'Why do I even care?'.
And you know what? I shouldn't care about mundane things like a birthday. These things are pretty much formalities in life. They say your birthday should be one of the happiest days in your life. Well, I don't care.
'Cause this are the best things that happened in my life which did not happen on my birthday:
So again, it's my birthday and here's what I'm going to do today. I'm going to wake up. I'm going to eat. Then I'll be headed to Borders at Wheelock to see if they have a job opening. Then I'm gonna get my dad's birthday present. His birthday is tomorrow. Then depending on what happens, maybe I'll take a walk along Orchard Road. Then I'll come home, turn on my computer and watch the Simpsons or Whose Line Is It Anyway. Then I'll pass my dad his gift and get on with watching stuff on my computer. After that I guess I'll go to sleep.
Quite eventful don't you think?
But there are somethings that I do want. But these things are a sort of a round-the-year thing.
What I really want is to always be there for the people who are close to me. The people that I care for. To never leave their side. Not so that they remember me but just so that I can remember them for what they've done for me.
I want my brother to get married. Then, I want my brother to get his scholarship to study in Australia. Then after studying, I want a niece or a nephew from him. (Nah, just kidding on that point. Own time, own target bro)
I want my mom to get better in terms of health. I want my dad to stay employed, not for me, but for the family's sake.
I want to go to university. I either want to do business or go on to do a Bachelor's in English.
I want to have my own family. But that's a long way away so no rush 'cause technically I'm still not attached. Any takers? Hehe.
(I had to end this on a light note 'cause it seemed to sound more like a eulogy than whatever else I was supposed to write).

I will not relent no no
Never live with defeat, never falter
Just like the air that I breathe(like the air I breathe)
I will not choke on failure
And I will not choke on failure
I am a mortal man
But I'm not falling, I'm not broken yet
I am a mortal man
But I'll hold tight to my beliefs now
I have suffered defeat, pain, loss
Still I push to the edge, never falter
For this cements my beliefs
I'll remain my own master

- I made it out of Anderson respectably
- I made it to a polytechnic
- I met a great group of people who I call my friends
- I'm doing well for my standards at the moment
- My brother is getting married(Okay technically, this hasn't happened yet but it's happening soon. Don't let me down bro)

Okay...There was actually a second point to my rant about MCR yesterday but I accidentally hit publish and it got posted and I was too lazy to edit it.
Here's the second part. This is more of a rant about MCR fans as opposed to MCR itself. Like I said, I don't mind MCR but they are not really that great.
This was taken from Machine Head's website:
Machine Head's "Best Album" win at last Thursday's Kerrang! Awards over pop-rock powerhouses My Chemical Romance and Fall Out Boy has apparently cut deep with fans of both bands, prompting a flood of angry whining and sad-faced emoticons on the Kerrang! message boards. Machine Head's upset victory over the multi-platinum softcore acts sent their inherently sensitive fans into an emotional frenzy, building into a tizzy of unparalleled proportions. Wrought with dismay, polished fingernails the world over lashed out at the band and metal as a whole with diatribes the likes of "MCR really should have won!!! I'm mad now!!!!”, "what a load of shit, who the fuck listens to them?" and "Stupid Machine Head!!", at times stooping so low as to say the competition was fixed, and often gravely endangering the integrity of their carefully sideswept hair with posts like "I H8 METAL, I H8 METAL, I H8 METAL, I H8 METAL, I H8 METAL, I H8 METAL, I H8 METAL".
C'mon man...Seriously...You expect MCR and Fallout Boy's albums to beat Machine Head's 'The Blackening' ? A lot of people have already said that 'The Blackening' is the best metal album of the year by far. And you expect it to be beaten by 2 mainstream bands? God...I just heard 1 song from 'The Blackening' and I'm already blown away. I've heard a couple of songs from 'The Black Parade' and 'Infinity on High' but I'm still not pulled in. Although 'The Black Parade(song)' did get me singing along to it. But it didn't blow me away.
And another thing, MCR and FOB have been around for about 6-7 years while Machine Head have been around for more that 10-12 years. Although their resurgence mainly began in 2003, they already had history and support behind them from their first few albums.
So, who would you actually expect to win? A couple of mainstream bands whose fan base tends to swing around according to trends and whose releases are mediocre at best? Or a band that released a monstrous record and has a loyal following?
I'm not hating on the bands. I'm just stating the stupidity in the MCR and FOB fans' comments on Machine Head's win.

WTF? I just read a news story about a mosh pit incident at a MCR gig. They said that 10-15 people were sent to the hospital because of 'pit-related injuries'.
First things first, I never really thought you could mosh to MCR. I mean I don't mind MCR's music, but c'mon, it's not really something that could get me jumping up and down let alone make me run in circles.

My Curse by Killswitch Engage
I watched you walk away
Helpless, with nothing to say
I strain my eyes
Hoping to see you again
This is my curse (the longing)
This is my curse (time)
This is my curse (the yearning)
This is my curse
There is love burning to find you
Will you wait for me?
Will you be there?
Your silence haunts me
But still I hunger for you
This is my curse (the wanting)
This is my curse (time)
This is my curse (the needing)
This is my curse
There is love burning to find you
Will you wait for me?
Still I want
And still I ache
But still I wait
To see you again
Dying, inside, these walls (2x)
And I see your face in these tears? In these tears
And I see your face...
There is love (8x)
I watched you walk away
Helpless, with nothing to say
I strain my eyes
Hoping to see you again
This is my curse (the longing)
This is my curse (time)
This is my curse (the yearning)
This is my curse
There is love burning to find you
Will you wait for me?
Will you be there?
Your silence haunts me
But still I hunger for you
This is my curse (the wanting)
This is my curse (time)
This is my curse (the needing)
This is my curse
There is love burning to find you
Will you wait for me?
Still I want
And still I ache
But still I wait
To see you again
Dying, inside, these walls (2x)
And I see your face in these tears? In these tears
And I see your face...
There is love (8x)

The Things He Carried by Vanna
Light it up
A flash so thin
Through a sky so grey
Look away
Our faces turned
Its a plea to the ear
Its a walk to my hands
Its a fall to my feet
To find sympathy
Now you're lost
In the dark
And nowhere to be found
But I know you'll be waiting there for us
His fortunes
Our futures at hand
We light
Light up like cities in the night
Light this
Like a happy scene
Its a set
Its all it takes
To trick our eyes
And fabricate
Honest
Honest goodbyes
Now you're lost
In the dark
And nowhere to be found
But I know you'll be waiting there for us
Our lives light up at times like these
At times
Our lives
Light up like cities in the night
His fortunes
Our futures at hand
We light
Light up like cities in the night
Like rivers
We splinter
You don't have to leave
Run away with me
What to do when you are really bored...Find a cardboard box and voila!
