I've got that stupid driving test tomorrow. I tried sleeping at 9pm. But this failed epicly. The moment I shut my eyes Bryan calls. Strike one. Ok, never mind. Puts phone to one side. (oh and Bryan, Ronin the graphic novel is better than Ronin the movie. Lol. actualy dont know, i only read half of it and watched half of it.)
10 minutes later I receive an sms from my aunt. Ok. reply. go to sleep again.
2 minutes later I get a message from digi telling me I spent 50 cents on sms so my smses are free for the rest of the day. Weee! Stupid Digi. Turns off phone.
Suddenly I start thinking scary thoughts which I wont share with you because it scares the shit outta me thinking about it.
So now I'm up and online. It's 10.40pm. I'm listening to what may be the most suprising album ever. I mean, I expected Metallica's new album to be super awesome, but it turned out to be just decent. Nothing memorable. And so I told myself to set my standards lower. Then one day I hear the first live performance of some new Lamb of God song. I was like Omg, this doesnt sound very nice.
I don't really like very heavy music. Unless it's by Lamb of God. Seriously, I usually listen to the best of each genre, or combination of genres. Like for prog metal, I have Dream Theater. For mainstream metal, I have Metallica. prog rock, Tool. Mainstream rock, Audioslave. Power-prog metal, Nevermore. Pure American metal, Lamb of God.
And Lamb of God, on their first album, was a little too noisy for me. But they did sound awesome here and there. Their 2nd album was a masterpiece with bad production. I think their 2nd album was their best. The 3rd album was a real break through. Every song on it was awesome. It was a perfect balance between their old, unrefined way of making music and the new polished version that came soon after.
The 4th album won them a Grammy, but I really didn't like that album that much. I admit, they were all really good at what they did on that album. But the music was so polished and mainstream. The lyrics had shifted from politics to more personal stuff. And that was unlike them.
So when I heard this live performance, I thought, ok, they no longer sound like Lamb of God at all.
Then the whole album comes out and it is just awesome. It has that painfully barbaric stuff found on the first 2 albums, with the production quality of some of the new stuff. The lyrics aren't THAT good. But it's as though they've found that same balance on the 3rd album. Seriously awesome. I might just buy this album. Teehee.
Ok, I just blabbered about stuff no one wants to read about. Nevermind.
If it seems like I'm avoiding subjects all the time it's because I am. Why would I want to talk about something I want to talk about on my own blog? I dunno if distraction is good. I know I'll have to face the real issues someday. I would rather just talk about something else and occupy myself with things that used to matter to me. Back when I was old.
I really should stop punishing myself. There's only so much the mind can take.
On that note, let's dive into the Scarecrow for a bit.
The mask is coming along. It's a little tricky. But I think by tomorrow I should have a clear idea if it's make-able.
Then I googled fear toxins and stuff. The closest thing I found was an injection of Sodium Lactate. This stuff is crazy. One guy volunteered for an experiment. He said after he was injected, he suddenly felt the fear of death. His brain told him that his heart was about to stop, his liver was going to burst and his kidneys would fail. But the researchers told him it was all in his head and that it would be sweat out. And in a while he did sweat it out. But it knocked him out for a day. After a day or two he woke up feeling better.
Which reminds me of what happened when Batman got sprayed. Remember? He slept for 3 days straight! I think I've found my fear toxin. Now to weaponize it in aerosol form!
