Marking my return to blogging with pure flamebait… brilliant idea, eh? Anyways, The Beatles suck. They’re nothing musically amazing, and they’re way overrated. Their millions of fans raise them to an almost god-like level, when they don’t really deserve it. Now before somebody starts shouting “but they were innovative/brilliant/the first,” I’ll admit that yes, they were influential in both the formation of the look and sound of rock. However cavemen clapping their hands is what started all music in general, yet nobody really goes crazy over that.

Lester William Polsfuss, known by his stage name “Les Paul,” died today at the age of 94. He was the father of electric guitar, as well as an innovator in guitar playing. One of the most popular guitars in history, the Gibson Les Paul, was named after him.
RIP, Les Paul. Your jazzy riffs will not be forgotten.
Yes it does suck, along with recreational drug use, drinking, ear tunnels and Christian rock/metal.
Every Coldplay song sounds the same, and they practically put me to sleep…

I’ll start off this rant with a bold statement: Most modern pop music downright sucks. It’s all talentless garbage nowadays. Even some genres of metal and hardcore have fallen to the level of pop. Pop, or popular music, can hardly be considered real music.

Born of Osiris’ second album, “A Higher Place” was released on July 7, 2009, to much anticipation from the fans, myself included. In summary, it’s a superb record, and a worthy succesor to “The New Reign.”

There are tons of things I’d like to write about, but unfortunately they’re not important enough to warrant separate articles. So here you go, a bunch of rants and updates, all in one!
Academy Awards
The 2009 Academy Awards pretty much sucked this year. I can’t believe Slumdog Millionaire won 8 awards. It’s not even that good of a movie. I mean 2008 had a load of really good movies, so how did some film that I never even heard about win the awards? I think “The Dark Knight” should have won for best movie. At least it’s a good action movie, and not some Indian drama.Metal Detectors?
My school is still pursuing the metal detector policy. Except it won’t be regular, it will be unannounced, on random days. Now I would be alright with this if it was for our safety, but it’s not. Rather, it’s to stop students from bringing in electronics. Specifically, to stop the socialites from texting during classes. They text, they fail, and they lower the school average. So now we all have to suffer because some people can’t go without texting every 2 minutes. Now I really don’t care about my cell phone, and I could easily do without it. What I am worried about is my iPod Touch. Music is like my morning coffee, it wakes me up and energizes me. Mark my words, I will find a way past this system.Conservapedia
Think Wikipedia, but run by Christian bigots. All the articles are completely biased, and it’s actually quite funny (and sad) to read their articles.Custom PC cases
Most of which annoy me. Why do 90% of the custom PC cases out there have blue LED lights and transparent windows on the sides? I mean isn’t the point of a custom case to look different?Other Stuff
WPWebHost is having a contest for best WordPress blog design. There are several categories, meaning I won’t have to compete against the likes of KomodoMedia (against which I have zero chance of winning). I’m going to be trying for the “Best Clean & Minimalist” category. Meaning there will be some more minor design updates to try to clean the blog up a bit and get it in tip-top shape.I also have a ton of work on the weekend, so most of the updates will probably be on weekdays.
Badminton at 7:10 am has been turning out okay, and I haven’t had much trouble in waking up on time.
There are about 2 weeks left until the big Bleeding Through show in the city. Bleeding Through, As Blood Runs Black, Impending Doom, and the Acacia Strain are playing, making it a rather awesome lineup.
