bad news for good people

This post has one reason and one reason only. My good friend Norm lost his father.. I cant imagine what sort of a feeling that could be.. I feel sad, I feel weird, but most of all... I feel bad for a good friend.. Im speechless. Your an admirable person Norm dont forget that. God Bless you my brother, keep your chin up.

I'm Feelin It

Bright Lights and Bruises

I have spent literally about two months thinking of how to express my thoughts on what I'm about to tell you. Some of my best experiences sometimes aren't remembered quite well, but here goes nothing. On the Saturday night of January 15Th, my highly anticipated evening started with a six pack of Carling, and a few good friends. I remember walking into The Cavern at about 8:00 pm. For some reason it didn't surprise me that I was crunched up nearly elbow to elbow with everyone, just to see a band opening for an acclaimed local punk group. This opening band goes by the name of Long Term Enemy. It began with such a great vibe to begin with because I ran into so many people I haven't talked to in a long time, which is cool. If you're into metal and versatility then you would have enjoyed their set list. I'm not better than anybody nor do I think that I know more about facts with genres of music than anybody. But I will say this: From my point of view each time a friend has tried to introduce me to a metal group they have all seemed so generic. Almost in the way of sending a message through hard screaming vocals and super technical guitar riffs (I'm still giving huge credibility to those artists out there). Now you see, the vibe Long Term Enemy gave me didn't occur until a few days after the show. I realized that this group is raw. It almost reminds you of when you hear about artists being so "live" and "raw" when they first blow up. Long Term Enemy sort of stood for those groups and bands out there that seem so real behind closed doors. If you understand what I'm saying it could be quite interesting to think about. All in all and nonetheless the show was a great turn out with a maxed out Cavern crowd. Set list goes as followed. precious, aginor, pipe hype, the justified genocide of manifest destiny, the guilt of filth, four years of amnesia, slowly burning chapter 2
For those who missed the show? I've heard a rumor about a summer Cavern gig again. If there indeed is anybody out there in Winnipeg reading this...And if you're into metal, then I definitely recommend keeping your ears open this summer. Enjoy yourselves.

Like I Said Before

Shmalentines Day

I lost my phone and wallet on Friday. It feels so awesome, haha. I missed the calabi-yau show as well on Friday night. From what I heard there were two sets and it was a great time. http://www.myspace.com/calabiyauwinnipeg
Super nice day today for all you Winnipeggers. Especially all you love birds.. It is Valentines Day after all? I choose to eat ravioli, spicy noodles, and sweet tai dorritos all day. I also choose this song. If you have the time then listen to the entire song because the last minute or so is amazing. The name of the song can make more sense of this home made video (if you can translate it). Enjoy heart day.

who knows, who cares

Im at a point in my life right now when I find myself analyzing a lot of situations with people. This doesn't necessarily have to be a bad thing. With that comes a large amount of slacking off. (LTE Blog arriving shortly)
Have you ever had a day where you wake up and want to just leave the country with out telling anybody? I had one recently. My day began and I was walking down Portage Ave. I noticed this guy across the street in a wheel chair trying to trudge through the snow. He couldn't, so I ran to him. When I walked behind to help give a push he looked at me like he had just found out he won the lottery or something. It was a second after that when I said to myself in my head "and I think I have problems?". It's super weird how one moment can arrange an assortment of thoughts that make your decisions in life so much different than what you're used to. Its such an amazing feeling to remind yourself you're alive and actually living.. Especially when you think your not. Enjoy yourselves.

Imagination Is More Important Than Knowledge

Each person designs their own life, freedom gives them the power to carry out their own designs, and power gives the freedom to interfere with the designs of others.

V A M P I R E W E E K E N D -- CONTRA

I have nothing bad to say about Vampire Weekends second released studio album named Contra. There is such a great summer vibe to this group. This ten track album has a pretty mellow but raw and sheisty break out to it. There is a part during the song called Run near the end that gives me a creepy vibe. Its not so surprising as it is interesting to know that lead singer Ezra Koenig uses a auto-tune device during a track called California English.
When your contemplating buying this album on the shelf at your favorite music store not only should you consider checking out the babe on the cover, but also
stand correct that this will not be a waste of your hard earned coin. Tracks to listen to in my mind are (its a single and a great one, "Cousins"), Giving Up The Gun, Horchata, and Diplomat's Son.

Times Like These I cant Explain..
