Retired

Retiring this blog and starting a new one. It is here. Just need a fresh start.

Foo Fighter's Concert

Okay, this is a really late post considering this concert happened Mar 28th. For some reason, I just couldn't stop and write about it even though it was such an amazing experience. Props to Ryan for getting us some kick ass seats. I put up the setlist near the bottom for fun.

Its been stated repeatedly that the Foo Fighters are my favorite band and there really isn't any reason to go over. But I know that everyone that went had an unbelievable time. One thing that seperates Dave Grohl from others is his ability to engage the crowd. While he does use the rock cliches, there is this genuineness that comes off that is so appealing. Its really evident that the concert is about everyone having a good time. Its not something righteous like "being about the music" or anything . Its about being fucking loud and having a blast.

Setlist:

Let It Die
The Pretender
Times Like These
Breakout
Learn To Fly

Cover

In honour of going to the Foo Fighter's concert, I dug up an old cover of Everlong. This was a while ago and one day I just decided to mess around with Audacity and see what I could come up with. Obviously there is lots of glitches and things that when I listen to, it bugs me a lot, but it was something fun and different to do at the time.

Studying Misfire

So I thought I had a one more day to study than I really did. Not a good idea to confuse Thursday and Wednesday. So I also thought that five chapters meant four. Oh well, time to pull a late nighter and a non stop listening marathon to Journey's Don't Stop Believing (Still going strong in 2008! Though with a different frontman). Jeez that song is so epic! I already feel better just linking to it.

And obviously, in the grand scheme of things there are worst things than not being prepared for an exam...

Target Update

I meant to post this earlier and reevaluate the weight loss target goal. Around the end of February I was at only 185, and was kinda surprised at first because I thought I put in way more effort. On the other hand, I didn't exactly change the diet too much by that point and it was about a pound per week which would be appropriate loss in retrospect. It was also tough because this thing started around Chinese New Year. That was smart.

I dunno if it is realistic or really in line with what I want to do. Currently my weight will show up 182 or so. The goal was in a way set to the extreme to change certain eating habits. I wanted to stop late night snacking, unnecessary junk food purchases, and eating even though I've already full and needed something to jolt that. To an extent that has been done, but I could still improve in this regard.

Damn, I want some KFC...

Crank That

So everyone has probably heard the song "Crank That" from Soulja Boy. Well, anyways I remember being told one of the meanings of the lyrics in the song. Basically, the phrase "Superman that ho". What the hell does it mean? Some time ago, I was told the meaning, but it seemed so ridiculous and unbelievable I discounted it.

Lo and behold, she was right. The meaning can be found here.

Heh, its like this blog became 14A for this post and the last one.

OMG WHY!?

This is probably a blog worth skipping. However, if you are curious...

Think of the worst possible pain/injury that could happen. Now if you're a guy, did it involve your penis? Because I couldn't possibly think of worst anatomic structure to f***ing fracture! If you are brave enough, check out the story...
