my dad had surgery done on his left shoulder today. as of right now, he's pretty out of it. i'm currently at the house getting him some supplies for his stay at his mothers. i'm going to keep this a short one for now and also letting you all know that i might not be posting for a few days. hopefully i can find a moment or so to post tomorrow and the next day, but i'm not promising anything right now. i gotta stay close to my dad and help him out. i picked up the book, The Old Breed, written by Eugene Sledge. it's his memoir on the marine battles at pelieu and okinawa during WWII in the pacific. it's part of the basis to the HBO series, The Pacific. the book is arguably one of the best books written about combat. it details the point of view coming from an infantry man and not the upper command. let's see how it goes shall we???
okay, for the music it's a split. first is the wonderful split album by the 90's emo bands, Boys Life and Christie Front Drive. the song, "valentine" by CFD is elegant and perhaps their best song ever. the second album is the split by 90's emo bands, Texas is the Reason and The Promise Ring. the song, "blue boy" is my favorite track on the split. it's by TITR. sssssoooooooo, with that enjoy these quick little splits and keep on truckin'...
i tried to beat megaman nine again. even though it's the newest megaman game, it has become the hardest yet. it takes me back to the old school nintendo games of my childhood. the megaman games were some of my favorite and not to brag, but i played them soooooooo much that i became a master at them. i could run through the games and beat the crap out of each boss and dr. wily at the end.
maybe that's why megaman nine is giving me such a hard time. i haven't played it enough!!! well later tonight i'm gonna turn on my nintendo wii and attempt to play the game once more. this time i will beat it!!! this time i will be the megaman master!!!
uh yeah, so how are all of you out there who maybe read my blog??? i hope you read it and not just skip down to the music posts. if you want, feel free to write something on the posts. any questions you have just ask and i will try me best to answer them. i just hope they are good questions...
goin' back to the 90's once again (my favorite decade of music) i want to post a band that was big in the early emo movement. springing from the Cap'n Jazz family of musicians, this band became very popular with each new release and toured all over the states with bands like Jimmy Eat World and The Get Up Kids. here to check out is The Promise Ring.
this band released four full length albums and an ep and several 7" records. they are gone now, but the music lives on like all good music does. here are their first two albums 30 Degrees Everywhere and Nothing Feels Good. be sure to listen to them and also check out the songs "a picture postcard" and "why did we ever meet?"
