Actually my brother got it off ebay and gave it to me as a birthday present one year. It's cool; he's standing there holding the Godzilla head and my brother mounted the pic in a monster footprint frame he made.

Thats pretty cool! I myself have only ever seen 1 Godzilla movie though.

If you think that's something, I have seen zero. Not even that one that came out with Inspector Gadget in it.

I have accomplished absolutely nothing so far today (day off), I intend to continue accomplishing absolutely nothing for the rest of the day.

Good plan.

That's what I'm doing.

Yeah, but you got up early to do it. That detracts from the value of doing nothing. You're supposed to be lazy when you do nothing all day not get an early start at it.

True, true.

Did laundry. Spun a couple cds. Went to my friend's record store and heard Death Magnetic. Grabbed a bite to eat. Dropped in here.

Went to class at 8:00. took a quiz (Stats). Went to Oceanography lecture. Rode my bike home (about 5 miles). Took a swim in the pool. PROCRASTINATION. Essay. At 5 I go to work.

After my first week of working two jobs back to back I mowed my lawn, ate the weeds, and edged. After some sleep I am now enjoying my two days off. Until my body gets used this I will be tired and sore and being as lazy as possible on my off days. I have moved my computer into the living room so I can surf the net, post here, and watch TV at the same time. I'm about to go get some food before wrestling starts and later on I will have an espresso martini w/ whipped cream topping for dessert.

Went to my teaching job, taught kids to sing correctly with beautiful sound and technique, then listened to Opeth "Ghost Reveries" on the way home!

Seriously, no joke, isn't your job a major contradiction with your music.

I mean, it's cool that you're teaching kids to sing but then you listen to Opeth afterwards?

I can definitely appreciate the musical talent in Opeth but to my mind, vocals are the real weak point.

Please tell me you're not teaching kids to "growl"...

Don't knock Opeth's vocalist. Yeah, he does growl but he has one hell of a singing voice. Check out Damnation (no death metal-mostly acoustic) and you'll see what I mean. I might even send you a copy of it if you'd like, just PM me.

Aw, dude, you're teaching kids to growl? When's your class?

The only death-metal high school choir in the state!

I have worried about a certain level of hypocrisy with teaching choir vs. listening to metal, but I also know that many, many metal vocalists study voice and learn how to scream and growl correctly. They have to or they would not make it through their tours. I always tell my students that, especially those that are interested in pursuing popular (in the largest sense possible) music as a career. I am drawn to the musicianship in heavy metal and Opeth is actually an anomaly in my collection, most of the metal I listen to has melodic vocals.

Cleaned house,grocery shopped, cranked some tunes, and watched some tv.

Woke up an hour ago, brushed my teeth, had a green tea, got online, posted on a few forums, send a few eMails, now off to shower and getting ready for work

After sleeping too much I got up watched my Are You Being Served DVDs, ate some left over pizza, then I went to Blockbuster to rent some DVDs. Later I went to see a doctor about my wrist. I then went to Best Buy and got some CDs. Got home, made some spegetti (sic) and now I am watching my rented DVDs.

That was a bad joke Dallas.

I just found it ironic that a vocal coach likes Opeth (with their ton of non-melodic, growlilng vocals)

But if you still want to send me a copy of an Opeth album you think I'd like, I'm game.

PM me and I'll send you my address.

What did I do today?
In between dropping my son off at the school bus, picking him up at the school bus, and during the baby's naps, I set up a Facebook page for myself. Gosh, I'm so darn hip and cool now.

Hm, just reading the paper. Anyone read about the funeral home owner who killed his wife and then himself? It was quite interesting.

today i have successfuly resuurected my band from the ashes of defeat to new heights of activity and creativity which i am pleased about so far

I woke up to the Anti-Christ on the History International Channel.
