Inspiration

Lately, things have been mostly good, but I've been very uninspired. I can't explain how much The Amity Affliction's album 'Youngbloods' speaks to me. Because of having nothing to listen to, I started listening to it again. Oh boy, the lyrics are just so deep. They make me think a lot. At the same time, I feel such conviction from the words, I totally agree with them, yet I doubt them an immense amount at the same time. There is just so much we don't know, and so many different opinions and thoughts on everything, it's slightly overwhelming. Kind of makes me feel slightly less important. I just felt it was necessary to say.

I didn't say anything, but last month Amity came to Townsville (about an hour away) and I went and had an excellent time with my friends. I wanted to write a whole big massive thing about it, but I didn't really feel like it. The concert was so inspiring though.

Excuse me, as I'm now going to go back and immerse myself deeply in the words of Joel and Ahren.

Sharks In Your Mouth

Right now, I'm in the middle of a terrible state. I've never felt so alone, and it's just saddening. At times I just feel apathetic, just feel nothing. This song by I Killed The Prom Queen is the only thing I can relate to right now. Also the other songs from 'Music For The Recently Deceased'. That's me.

"This sinking feeling never dies,
I'll chase my sunset laced with pride in this heartless gallion."

Fuck Yeah Lego Harry Potter

I will be getting this game in a very short time! I cannot contain my excitement! I want to put up a billion screenshots because they are so amazing and beautiful, but I decided I'll just put a few up, and instead start a tumblr about it. Find my Lego Harry Potter tumblr here soon at

Classic Who

Right now, I'm in such a big Doctor Who mood. Not so much the recent episodes, but all the old adventures (including the black and white ones!!!). Last night I watched 'Day Of The Daleks' starring John Pertwee as the Third Doctor, and tonight I have been watching 'Tomb Of The Cybermen' starring Patrick Troughton as the Second Doctor. All this Doctor Who watching has made me want to start my own tumblr again, about classic Doctor Who, and maybe some new stuff. We will see how it goes. For now, here are some pictures and paraphernalia (i really like that word) from 'Tomb Of The Cybermen'. One day, I hope to have the biggest collection of Doctor Who DVDs and things ever.

Music For The Recently Deceased

Wow, I love Ed Butcher so much right now. It's a Friday afternoon, and sadly I have a headache, but Ed's voice is the only thing I can stand. His work with I Killed The Prom Queen is brutal and beautiful. Also his album with his band Eternal Lord is crazy. I recently injured my leg dancing to one of their songs, ha. I would say he's my main source of happiness and inspiration at the moment.

Soldiers of Immortality

New Australian Deathcore/Death Metal heroes Thy Art Is Murder have just released their debut album. Check them out. Their first EP was killer. I would say it was the album of last summer, but most people would disagree. But what do they know.

Ian Curtis

Lead singer of Joy Division. Dead at age 23. Severely depressed. The story of Ian Curtis makes me sad. I really like him. It's possibly because I've always sort of been surrounded by sadness. His depression reflected in his music. Before he had even reached the prime of his life he penned one of the greatest songs of all time. Love will tear us apart.
