So self-contently

Yeah, it's hard to maintain a daily or even weekly entry to your journal, and the problem is, like most forums, your thread tends to slip off page one if people see no new entries, and once it's gone it's unlikely to resurface. That's what happened to my first attempt at a journal.

Now that I'm at home all the time caring for my sister, I find I have a lot more free time and so make sure to update my journal at least every second day if I can. Luckily I have a very large music collection to choose from, most of which I have yet to listen to, so I'll be bothering people with my rants for some time to come!

Very interesting idea, the circles of Hell. Will you be including albums with Hell-themes or titles? I'm thinkiing "Heaven and Hell" by Sabs, "Highway to Hell" by AC/DC, maybe "Paradise lost" by Symphony X? Or is that oversimplifying it?

I can also sympathise with you re the piano. I tried to learn, but unlike you I was never good --- no left hand/right hand co-ordination: that's so hard! Plus I bought a synth, which meant it was far easier to play the chords and hold them down while picking out the melody, so I ended up trying to play synth, which I was also no good at. I can play it, but nothing anyone would recognise.

Anyway, cool journal. I'll be reading with interest. Feel free to drop over and comment on mine anytime.

Eh, I was planning on finding albums that had 0 stars on RYM that interested me anyway and maybe doing a couple at the end that were rated consistently 2.5-3 stars (so consistently mediocre) or consistently rated 5 stars (appealing to everybody but not necessarily to me). Using albums with hellish themes is a cool idea but I was gonna try to make them connect to the 9 levels of hell in Dante's Inferno (which I've never had the chance to read). :P
I have an online journal that has a weird heading I haven't bothered fixing and really inconsistent content but I do write, although admittedly inconsistently. Nobody reads it, I just update it when I have something that's really bothering me. I do it for myself. I also have one unfinished entry (unsubmitted and probably far too long) and two finished entries to the writing contest that Satchmo never published but one was a character writing where I write in the voice of a functionally retarded girl I know (and I gave it to her to turn in as an english journal, which she got a 95% on) and the other one was me writing as myself when I was 12 having an emotional breakdown and cutting so I could see why Satchmo would consider them too crappy to post but I stand by them.

The cycles of hell yet to be narrowed down or organized. These are some of the lowest rated albums on RYM. I went through the list and picked the ones that caught my attention. There's a lot of pop on here but I think I can pick a decently varied list. Bathory, Limp Bizkit, Yoko Ono, The Clash, 50 Cent, the Venegaboys, and Justin Bieber didn't have any connection in my mind before this but maybe there's something to this. Maybe if I actually do this project, it'll give me an epiphany.

My world 2.0-Justin Bieber (rated 1.07 from 421 ratings)

Rebirth-Lil' Wayne (rated 1.26 from 405 ratings)

This is going to be amazing

And here's one you missed

The Black Eyed Peas - The E.N.D.

Paedantic Basterd · 08-05-2011, 04:54 PM

I am sad to say I own a copy of Evening Out With Your Girlfriend, and even at the height of my juvenile pop-punk FOB fandom, I thought it was utter wank.

Enjoy!

Work without an iPod is a living hell.
Being alone with my thoughts at the scanning machine makes me uneasy. Hearing nothing but the papers shifting in and out and in and out and in and out like two middle aged robots trying to procreate.....
or some other such shit.
I really wish I had music right now. I need my job but I don't need the money. I haven't used any of the money I've made all summer. I need the stability. I need to be able to go in and listen to music every day while I do tedious secretarial chores and feel like things make sense. Like I'm doing something right.

Songs I wish I could listen to right now
Brown Sugar-Rolling Stones
Pavement Saw-Big Black
Manson's only Love Song-Manson
Pink Triangle-Weezer
Long Time Sunshine-Weezer
Grouch-Greenday
Earthworm-Flipper
Bed of Roses-Mindless Self Indulgence
El Dopa-Big Black
Bad Penny-Big Black
Money-Mindless Self Indulgence
Due-Mindless Self Indulgence
Till the World Ends (remix)-Britney Spears
Fuck him He's a DJ-Ke$ha
Animal-Ke$ha
When I'm with you-Best Coast

FUCK LOSING MY IPOD. FUCK IT. FUCK IT FUCK IT FUCK IT.

Queen Boo · 08-15-2011, 02:43 PM

BTW, thanks for the comments y'all. Makes me smile 'n shit.

djchameleon · 08-15-2011, 05:16 PM

I felt that way this morning when I left my Zune at home. I'm like how do people do this **** walking around in the world without music and left to just have your thoughts going in overdrive thinking about the most random **** ever. Then I realized maybe it's just me.

Paedantic Basterd · 08-16-2011, 10:26 AM

I'm blessed in that I actually do get to listen to my music while I conduct menial tasks. The days I forget my ipod seem 5 times longer.

Queen Boo · 08-25-2011, 09:35 AM

I'm bored in school and I don't have anything to read so this is probably really retarded but I'm posting it anyway because I honestly don't give a shit. This song is ridiculous and I love it and whenever I hear it I feel Amish.

TUMOR interprets The Battle Hymn of the Republic

Mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the Lord:

I watched God mastarbate I guess.

He is trampling out the vintage where the grapes of wrath are stored;

God doesn't like poor people or old people. So he steps on them.

He hath loosed the fateful lightning of His terrible swift sword:
His truth is marching on. [/I]

"I AM SPAARTAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Then the chorous comes and it repeats over and over again. You could substitute glory glory hallelujah for anything, really. It doesn't matter.

Glory, glory, hallelujah!
Glory, glory, hallelujah!
Glory, glory, hallelujah!
His truth is marching on.

I have seen Him in the watch-fires of a hundred circling camps,

Join the army. See the world (and deities).

They have builded Him an altar in the evening dews and damps;

If you stay up all night making monuments then you fuck up basic grammar.

I can read His righteous sentence by the dim and flaring lamps:

Literacy is a plus but religeon and war are more important. Or something. I forget.

His day is marching on.

I'll tell you what I want, what I really really want
So tell me what you want, what you really really want
I wanna, I wanna, I wanna, I wanna, I wanna really
Really really wanna zigazig ha

I have read a fiery gospel writ in burnished rows of steel:

You can't read but you can weld.

"As ye deal with my contemners, so with you my grace shall deal;

But what if your enemy is of the same religeon you are?

Let the Hero, born of woman, crush the serpent with his heel,

Call Planned Parenthood, then PETA.

Since God is marching on."

Don't Stop, Make it pop
DJ blow my speakers up
Tonight, I'mma fight
'Til we see the sun light
Tick tock, on the clock
But the party don't stop, no
Whoa whoa oho
Whoa whoa oho

In the beauty of the lilies Christ was born across the sea,

Yes he was. A perfect blonde, white, 6 pound, 8 inch lil' baby Jesus shined as a becon of hope in the land of the towel heads, the pagans, and the brown.

With a glory in His bosom that transfigures you and me:

And he had really great tits. Let me tell ya.

As He died to make men holy, let us die to make men free,
While God is marching on.

Partyin', partyin, (yeah)
Partyin', partyin, (yeah)
Fun, fun, fun, fun
Lookin' forward to the weekend

He is coming like the glory of the morning on the wave,

Mmm. Jesus jizz.

He is Wisdom to the mighty, He is Succour to the brave,

God>philosophy

So the world shall be His footstool, and the soul of Time His slave,

God>physics

Our God is marching on.

Why you coming home five in the mone
Somethings going on can I smell yo dick?
Don't play me like a fool cause dat ain't cool
So what you need to do is let me smell yo dick
