looks great Luke. i like the black

[quote=burtonbassist_101;17302461]i just got the new 311 album.

it's actually an incredibly well-rounded album. i'd never really listened to them much before this but i'm starting to.[/quote]

Yeah, it's not bad. Feels a litte heavier, on the whole, than some of their others.

Lacuna Coil's new album is tight too. Really recommend it. It may even end up YSI'd...we shall see.

Anybody checked out the new Spinal Tap album that dropped yesterday? I'll probably be pirating it soon because I just spent the last of my money on a transvestite hooker and blow.

"Penny For Your Thoughts"
[i]by Gemineye[/i]

Can I offer you a penny for your thoughts?
As a matter of fact, how about three?
One penny for you, one penny for me,
And one penny for our minds engaged not so sexually.
Getting intimately closer as we approach the
Climatic altitude of nude, mental, sensational… conversation.

Because I’m trying to get to know everything about you
From the neck… UP.

So these are not your typical, sexual, poetical prose.
I’m trying to close the door on that all too firmiliar freaky foreplay game.
With which most guys have chose to approach you.
While they are trying to get deeply inbedded
In the fine fibers of your bedsheets,
I’m trying to find and define the fibers of which your mind speaks.
I want to engage you
By putting a two karat solitaire diamond ON YOUR MIND
Marrying your every thought!

I want to lick every inch of every crevasse
So I can get an oral fix from each oriface
And taste you passionate IMAGINATION.

I’d rather be naked and exposed, holding you
As we’re lying and you’re crying
While confiding and describing the tough times you’ve had in life
And how you don’t know
If you can keep a relationshop long enough to be somebody’s wife.

I wanna feel the heartbeat of all your inner rhythms
As they lead me toward your warm, wet, waterfalls of feminine thoughts.
…And I’ll swin in them.
From backstroaks, to breaststrokes,
I’m penetrating every entrance… to your mind.
Taking my time to find out everything about you.

Did I ever tell you about how you
Fell asleep in my presence?
And your mere essance
Kept me awake for hours
As I cowered with this feeling
Of sexually unadulterated mental connection?

And as you lay by my side
I pushed the blinds aside
And took the time in the moonlight of that night
To count 72 eyelashes
On the upper eyelid of your right eye!
Because when you sleep
Your eyes remain open slightly.

And while we probably moves in too quickly into some sexual ****
I’ve always cared more about the expilicity illicitness
That came from between you lips.. meaning your voice.

So now I am standing here
Ready to trade in all the sexual acts that we’ve preformed
For the chance to reform the very foundation
And the basis of our relationship.

So I reiterate my opening statement
And I offer you another penny for your thoughts!

People won't be people when they hear this sound.

Then I pull out my gun!

Don't you just love them?

Ddiamondd is crazy. Part of me wishes I hadn't looked up the lyrics, but they are great.

And Rainbow is just one of my favorite songs.. maybe ever?

Battles are pretty sweet. Trippy to listen to when high.

[QUOTE=BenJammin;17304491]Battles are pretty sweet. Trippy to listen to when high.[/QUOTE]

That's true. I would say that they're just as good while sober, though. I absolutely love Mirrored from start to finish. I just get lost in that album. I find their music to be entrancing.

Yeah, Mirrored is definitely my favorite of their stuff. It's good party music, too. The first time I heard them was at a friend's house when he had a bunch of people over, and just had Battles blaring over the stereo. It gives a good energy.

I have no idea how they're going to follow it. I mean, I'm sure they're working on something, they all say it's their primary band, but I just don't know...

Battles are okay Mirrored is a mad unsolid album though imo

Race In, Ddiamond, and Rainbow are the only songs I really like on it

And even then ddiamond kinda annoys me

LMFAO.

The co-leader of the Maori party of NZ is trying to make it so Maori students get into University free and without the appropriate qualifications but do a course to show they have reached required standards.

WTF.

This is ridiculous. It's their fault they don't study and pass one of the easiest ****ing school systems in this world.

[QUOTE]In a speech yesterday Dr Sharples, who is Maori Party co-leader, said Maori should be able to go to university without any qualifications.

"It's just providing entry for people to attend a student learning centre where they can reach the standard to do a degree."[/QUOTE]
Just ROFL.

And this takes the cake:

[QUOTE]The situation now where half of Maori boys were not gaining NCEA qualifications was "stupid, ridiculous and it's just intolerable". Action was needed.[/QUOTE]

LOL. Well I'm sorry if they aren't studying, which yes is stupid, ridiculous and it's just intolerable.

Jesus christ.


/rant.

I never understood the fuss about Battles.

I'm not sure I understand this Maori thing.

Is it just giving them to opportunity to do a high school equivalency diploma or something?

Lol nah its worse.

They want them to walk into university without qualifications(University Entrance is what it's called, which is easier than passing actual high schoolL), aaaand for free!

Who puts these people in power, honestly.

So, if I'm a Maori dude under this rule, I haven't finished my high school qualifications or anything, I can just go "Hi can I please enrol in a medical degree?" and they have to let me?

That's bonkers.

Yes. Pretty much. :lol:

They said that they are going to get this special school that brings them up to standard.

LOL what is high school all about? If they can't even pass 5th form they have no chance of keeping university.

In other news...This maori guy is trying to sell fake passports to pacific islanders that have overstayed their allowance in NZ. For 500 each. And they're interviewing him and because he's so stupid and knows nothing about immigration policy, they tricked him into admitting the passports have no legal relevance as far as the immigration ministry is concerned.

Anyways. Music. Sex. Drugs.

If they're trying to sneak the guys into uni they should just do it with rugby scholarships.

I think my $40 bike seat is one of the best purchases I've made in a while.

[QUOTE=gaslight;17304959]If they're trying to sneak the guys into uni they should just do it with rugby scholarships.[/QUOTE]
:lol:

They already do I'm pretty sure.

Know how I said my Brice would take ages to get here?

Guy sent it today, and it's already in Auckland at the depot XD SO hopefully get it tomorrow.

"But what if I'm Maori, didn't go to school and I'm not good at rugby?"

Well, may god have mercy on your soul.

Hahahaha. That should go on a billboard.


P.s. This isn't racism..it's hate on racism ;)

i had a G-K backline for a while. though it's a step below the goldline (if i'm not mistaken), i was seriously unimpressed.

i'd recommend an avatar 2x10:

300$, and seriously awesome (i have one of their 2x12s and it seriously kicks ***)

wtf, a random cat just walked into my house.

[QUOTE=:amaze:;17304975]wtf, a random cat just walked into my house.[/QUOTE]
Lol did it run head first through a window like a cat I chased out of my house?

Man was it hard convincing the insurance company what happened.

haha no i'm just sitting here watching tv, and i heard my front door creak open, and then it strolled right in. now it's wandering around my house. its got a collar with a phone number, i'll call them tomorrow.

But in the mean time you will pet the pretty kitty?
