When I sing I move. I'm not ashamed. I jump, I walk, I scream, I get into it. As both a singer in reality and as a very musically influenced person I just tend to find myself going to the extreme and forgetting the realm between me and the screen.

And really is that so bad? It's gotten to the point where we've decided we're going to start filming our own music videos just because, with the way we act, we might as well be on stage anyway.

The thing about singing is you can do so much more. Your eyes really don't have to be glued onto the screen if you know the song this really opens up the game to a level of accuracy few games can attest to. When I pick up that mic my head is instantly warped around the idea of not only singing but entertaining. And whether the crowd be virtual or a group of friends my goal is that I will wreck the line between who I am in the living room and who I am in a virtual Moscow.

The same is done for guitar and drums. Granted the drummer can actually get the same experience albeit slightly less movement is involved but the freeform fills and the fact that your average drummer just sits anyway can kind of let the drummer attest to the rocker orgasm that I feel when singing. And I hope you do too.

It's the guitarist that seems to get the shaft. You really can't take your eyes off anything and very little creative freedom is given to the guitarist. It's saddening.

So yes I scream. I jump, move, kick, groan, and improv. It's a game yeah but guess what? I'm still singing and this is how I sing God dammit. Oh my bad. I meant scream.

Yes the blogging is set to return at record pace.

The new site is looking spiffy although it is a bandwidth whore and my PSP can't run it. I do plan on doing some stuff with the band profiles too. Just give me a few days to play around.

Leave me alone. I'm playing Rock Band.

Ugh. I'm tired. I'm headed to Texas tomorrow so just to have an excuse to have insane amounts of noise in one room I threw a party to kind of have a "pre-Thanksgiving" since I won't actually be here. Awesome sauce. My bandmate and my friends from my old town all came down and we jammed the night away. Wonderfully merging metal and punk. Oh what a sound.

I promised a few pictures so here are some pictures from my test run of the camera. Nothing special just some nature shots. I'm too tired to GIMP anything.

They're big and I apologize for that. Especially to the possible 56kers. It's a pain but it's a pain for me to resize it right now. Again I'm tired as crap.

Getting GHIII tomorrow. I played it today and got so frustrated with the Les Paul I decided I'm just gonna get another X-Plorer. I used the code to unlock DragonForce just for kicks. It was amazing.

Well that's that. I'll report tomorrow and let you guys and gals know how my flight was and probably have some great stories to tell as 76% of all my great stories happen in airport terminals.

Hello fellow rockers. I love you.

First things first I'm with only one real reason to blog tonight as I have seen the greatest Game Informer cover ever. I love it for it's plain simplicity and blatantant subject matter. It needs no big fancy font, no complex artwork that won't even make it on the behind the scenes videos, not even a header to let you know what else is in the December 2007 issue. All you need to know is what's on the cover.

First Brutal Legend and now Ghostbusters. I may even have to change my avatar (again) just for the occasion though I'm getting reports of mistaken identity. I'll probably revert back to my photography/chick avatars but then I'll be mistaken in gender. I can't win.

So Rock Band comes out in a week. I tried to not talk about it, I really did as I wanted to offer a refreshing read seeing as how the whole community is Rock Band oriented. So just know it's in a week.

I promised a new addition to the n00b guide maybe two weeks ago. I scrapped the idea and decided to just make a whole new n00b guide (hopefully more organized, less text, less ranting IF you're lucky). To the seven people who PM'd me about corrections and unfulfilled promises leave me alone.

[Note: I never knew so many lurkers actually depended on the damned thing. Geezus.]

What else can I say? Let it be known prior to that launch day I won't have Rock Band until Christmas so...leave me alone about that too. No the blog won't become a Rock Band fiesta. In fact my intention is to really detract from spewing my soul to Rock Band on the blog. That's what the forums are for. Just, in anticipation, it's really not much else to say.

Oh I got a new camera, took some awesome nature pictures, WILL POST maybe Friday along with GIMP'd (as my Photoshop laptop is on the fritz) versions. DShiz I hope you're reading this.

That's really it. No long revelation nor linguistic labyrinth of which I have truly mastered in the years to past and hope to perfect in the years yet to come. What can I say? Writing. It's my thing.

Note: For a little bit of insight into my taste and maybe more blogging delectables I'm obligated by need of popularity and right of divinity to perspirate my very dignity and ask you to visit my Xzyliac Noise imeem. I just might hug you.
