...death becomes clear through bloodshot eyes...

Song of the Day: "Determined" - Mudvayne

Hey, Teen Titans is on. Hell yeah.

Tonight was a bad night. I was actually "on" tonight, or at least I felt like I was, and didn't sell anything out of eight tonight. The fact that they were all students softens the blow, but it still hurts.

A few things to address since the last post:

1. Night Of The Living Loaf

I understand where Nix and Quill are coming from. I understand we have no budget, mainly because none of us has too much expendable income. The only person to contribute monitarily so far has been Nix. It also seems that most everyone has become non-committal to the project, the shine of a new Bug-Juice flick having worn off because we didn't move on it right away. It's been almost a year since we all sat together in my living room and had our first unofficial meeting. Dave has since said that, because of school, he might be rather wishy-washy about his LEAD role in the film. Exactly what we (as in Nix and myself, more so Nix) were afraid of.

I may not act it, but I'm fucking pumped about doing this. For those of you that know me, I don't really show excitement too well.

2. S.P.I.T.

Yes Nix, you are correct. On the occasions I've spoke to Corey I've told him about how "wrong" his behavior was on that night at Wagners. He understands, and hopefully in the future he won't do it again. There might not be a future, however, seeing as the only nights I seem to be in town recently (Monday and Tuesday, the same two days he's not working) he spends at Wagners getting drunk and playing on his unofficial dart league. I get text messages from him at one in the morning, not really telling me anything except that he's drunk.

This is also something I've wanted to do for a long time, I just never knew anyone that shared the same enthusiasm. Plus I've never had access to a place that was "haunted".

3. Brainshift

Well, here's where I really don't know what to say. I suppose the only thing holding me back here is my own laziness. I've known for some time that Joe B. has had a disc of new material ready for me, but I haven't called him about it. Nix has told me about a couple of people (ie. record companies; bands) I could send some of my finished material to, but I haven't done it. I left him in charge of it, and it hasn't gotten done. That's my fault. It's my shit and I should be man enough to send it.

I suppose my whole thing is: What if they don't like it?

So that's that.

My left foot has been bothering me a lot recently. Almost to the point where I can't really walk on it too well. I don't know if I pulled a muscle or I have a knot, but it's been like this for about a week. If it doesn't let up, I might have to go see a doctor about it.

Lastly, I know we have the Mega-Forum, but I have re-opened my forum board again. Some of the topics are the same as on the Mega-Forum (unavoidable) but there are also some other topics that might interest you. I dunno. Give it a shot.

Realm Of Death Forum

Song of the Day: "Kiddie Grinder" - Marilyn Manson

Hello. In a few hours I leave for Springfield, MO. Again. This is the third time this month I've been there, so wish me luck.

@ Nix: I'll be home late Thursday night. Maybe you should get call waiting so you don't get booted from the internet.

I beat Death, Jr. What a disappointment that was.

Something tells me this ghost hunting thing isn't going anywhere.

Neither is Loaf.

Or Brainshift.

Just some random thoughts.

Song of the Day: "Forever Endeavor" - Taproot

I'm in Evansville tonight, and I'm making this post from my PSP. It's a pain in the ass to do, but I just figured I'd give it a shot.

Things went poorly tonight. I just hope things are better tomorrow.

That's all I've got for now.

Song of the Day: "Lost In The Woods" - Taproot

And now, for some humor.

With all the sadness and trauma going on in the world at the moment, it is worth reflecting on the death of a very important person, which almost went unnoticed last week.

Larry LaPrise, the man who wrote "The Hokey Pokey," died peacefully at age 93. The most traumatic part for his family was getting him into the coffin. They put his left leg in. And then the trouble started.

Shut up. You know it's funny.

Now that that's out of my system, on to bigger and better things.

Or not.

Not too much has been going on here. Just been playing around with my PSP quite a bit. I swear, that thing is amazing. If you're a gamer and don't have one yet, you need to go get one. If you don't have the money, steal it.

Corey is all pumped about ghost hunting. So excited, as a matter of fact, that he's telling pretty much everyone and anyone who will listen. There's only one problem I see with that so far: We haven't "captured" any spirits. Period. I've tried to explain that ghost hunters that haven't caught anything aren't ghost hunters, but he's just totally gung-ho about the whole thing. God bless his testicle.

I'm currently looking into equipment for "hunting", but I don't know a damn thing about most of how these things work. On top of that I wouldn't know where to start "hunting", but I guess that just comes along at some point.

Anywho, that's about it. Enjoy, and if you're lucky I might post again sometime this week.

Totally looking forward to Halloween!

Song of the Day: "Falling" - Staind

I haven't been sleeping well lately, or yet again. However, things are seeming to be getting worse. It's almost coming down to an "Up for two days, sleep for one" type of thing. I don't really know why or where it's coming from, but it irks me that I'm not sleeping.

If I have been a dick to any of you as of late, I'd like to formally apologize here. I'm sure as you know it's normally not in my nature, and there have been a handful of times recently where I've felt as though I'm posessed by the spirit of Erich. I don't like it, and I'm sure you don't either.

Moving onward, I picked up three new games the other day for my PSP. Those being Untold Legends, Ridge Racer, and Midnight Club 3: Dub Edition. I must say that I'm very happy with all three purchases. Come Tuesday I'll be adding Death Jr. to the list as well.

@Quill: As much as I'd like to make it to your birthday party on the 19th, my wonderful father is sending me to Springfield for the weekend. I've got demos and a bridal show to do there, so I'm wishing you a pre-Happy Birthday.

@Hiz: See above.

...like a prom dress.

Song of the Day: "F(r)iend - In Flames

And the sad part is someone had to fuck you into existence.

Don't think about it. It's funny. It's clever.

Anyway, Corey and I ended up at Wagners last night. The owner actually ended up letting us stay after hours to try and get some shit on film. Unfortunately, I really didn't catch anything. Hopefully Corey picked up an EVP with his digital recorder.

I now have Sound Forge, and once I learn how to use it I'm hoping it will be a big help in editing music and sounds.

I'm thinking I should probably get some sleep. I am pretty tired, but I don't want to necessarily sleep all day.

Song of the Day: "Spitfire" - The Prodigy

Do you know who I am? I am Judgement Boy. Do you know who I am?

Last night consisted of an impromptu game night which consisted of Nix, Dave, Beaver, Hizzy, Amanda, and myself. We played "Grave Robbers From Outer Space" and "Zombies". As it turns out GROS seemed to be the favorite of the two, at least amongst the ladies. I did like the gameplay of GROS and hope to have an opportunity to play it again sometime soon.

Corey is on a ghost hunting kick again, and I don't have one problem with that. Since I have my camera now, he's wanting to see if we can get anything on film. He's specifically spoke of Wagners, the bar he now frequents and is also captain of the his dart league team. Apparently the place is haunted, specifically in the pool room and moreso in the basement. He said he's gonna talk to the owner and see if we can get in there after hours. I don't really see it happening, but stranger things have happened.

Currently I'm working on more lyrics for some tunes I've written. Some songs weren't meant to have words, but they would probably benefit from some. Maybe not mine, but still...

You're not gonna hear from me for a couple of days. The trip I'm going on is just a bunch of one-hitters, so there is no need for me to bring my lappy.

JUDGEMENT!

Song of the Day: "Attack" - 30 Seconds To Mars

Yes, it's being hailed as one of the best songs on the radio today. The new album has a godHEAD feel to it. Can't wait for it to come out this month.

Anyone that didn't make it Saturday night really didn't miss anything, and if you were here I'm sorry if you were bored or felt you wasted your time.

@Nix: I'm sorry I wasn't around on Saturday night. I totally forgot I was still logged on. My bad, dude. I do wanna play that Arkum Gothic game though. I heard it was hella fun. And yes, I did pick up what might be some good ones, but I wouldn't know because I haven't had a chance to play most of them.

I leave again Wednesday for Carbondale, Ill., quite possibly making the trek by myself. Then I'd come back that night, only to get up the next day and leave for Springfield, MO.

And to end the post, the new games I've picked up recently (* = Games I've played since I've gotten them):

Zombies 4: The End... (Boardgame)
