NIN Concert

So... I went to a Nine Inch Nails concert some weeks ago with a friend who was on vacations.

At first I wasn't much excited about the idea but since my friend is a huge fan of them and it was probably one in a life time opportunity for him to see them, I acceded to go with him.

The place where the concert took place was very cool and actually was bigger than other concert places I've been. Another thing which made it bigger was the fact that was the second concert on the same city and it was not as crowded as the first one.

While hanging around I asked to someone if she knew who were going to open the show (I was hopping to take something good from the concert), and for my big surprise I was told that a Pakistani band were in charged of opening the show.

So... they started playing and I already wanted to leave. What a shitty band! Really, it is not because they are from a weird country to me or because their looks (all of that was OK). It was the music... they played some kind of stupid, bastard, retarded punk who really got into my nerves. All of them seem pretty stoned and besides that, there wasn't anything else interesting about them.

Finally they finished and half an hour later NIN started playing.
The show was actually very good! The combination of lights, the sound and the on stage interpretation were great.
As you may understand for what I've written, I am no NIN fan... but I actually enjoyed many of the songs and ended the show jumping with my friend (who by the way was so fucking amazed, bedazzled, excited, etc).

The only song I knew entirely was "Closer" and maybe because of it... the one I enjoyed the most.

Have to say that they were worthy of my time and money, because even though I might never become a NIN fan... I will certainly enjoy some of their music.

Dissapeared for a long time...

Hello, hello, hello...

As always I dissapeared for a long time. My last post was back in December 2006!!! Can you imagine??? Of course you can... it is normal in my life.

Well, since my last post a lot of things happened... some interesting and some not. I've been to a few concerts and travel to other places. I have also pass through rough times and have made some new "friends".

Anyway, I will talk about each thing in a separate post so I can cover each topic completely... this post is only to remind me that I have a lot of post pending.

Greetings././.

Opeth Rulezzzz!!


Xup people!

A few days ago I had the opportunity to assist to an Opeth concert... and I have to say the experience was AMAZING! I've always liked Opeth but being in a concert took me to another level (with no drugs whatsoever...).
The concert took about 2 hours and they performed many different songs, such as "Black Water Park", "Deliverance", "Windowpane", "Demon of the Fall", among many others. My favorite one was Black Water Park anyway... though they closed the show with Deliverance.

During the presentation the vocalist (Mikael), talked with many fellows in the crowd and even had them shut up (hehehee... joking of course)... and he demonstrated a different charisma than what is known in Metal groups.
Their presentation made me remember a legendary Metal band named"Death", but I am not sure why... anyway it was totally ass kicking!

Their performance was absolutely awesome and the concert was great, though the band that was supposed to open the show didn't performed because their car/bus (whatever), didn't make it to the place.

In case you don't know...
Opeth is a progressive death metal band from Sweden. Opeth adds several lighter elements to their music, such as acoustic guitar interludes, influences from jazz, 1970s progressive rock, blues and folk elements. Vocalist Mikael Åkerfeldt performs both clean singing and death vocals. Due to their unique blend of melodic and progressive elements, they are said not to conform to any specific metal sub-genre. The name Opeth was taken from the novel Sunbird by author Wilbur Smith, and was originally spelled Opet. In the book, Opet is the name of the location for an ancient empire which translates to "City of the Moon".

I will post photos from the concert soon... so stay tunned!

Greets,

Write a book


Hello again...

Lately I've been dealing with a creativity hole. I am not able to figure out what I would like to write about.... well, let me start the right way.

Usually I write poems and songs (lyrics), but lately I don't have the same inspiration... as a matter of fact I don't have any inspiration whatsoever. Anyway, I thought it would be a nice idea to do something related but different... so I decided to write a book. I know I should start from the bottom and probably the best way would be to write some short stories. Unfortunately, I don't have any idea of what I would like to write about or how I could do it.

It's kinda frustrating, cause I know I can do it and I know that if I really get into it, I'd probably do it good enough to kick Harry Potter's books ass.

By know I will read a few guides (even though I don't like guides)... like this one I found on wikihow .

Once I have something ready, I will add it to my page so if you are interested... you read it.

Well, there is nothing else to say...

Have a good one.

Take good care of your laptop



Hello Everybody,

I have nothing to say right now, so I will post some tips I saw on certain sites about how to take good care of a notebook...

  1. Do not spill any liquid on your laptop.
  2. Don't eat over your laptop.
  3. Keep your hands clean.
  4. Protect the LCD display monitor.
  5. Don't cram the computer too tightly into a carrying case. Buy or make a laptop case that is large enough to hold it.
  6. Hold and lift the computer by its base, not by its LCD display (the screen).
  7. Don't pull on the power cord.
  8. Don't roll your chair over the computer cord.
  9. Plug in accessory devices into their proper slots.
  10. Handle any removable drives with care.
  11. Insert drives into their slots carefully and at the correct angle.
  12. Check to see if labels are affixed securely before inserting media like CDs, DVDs or floppy disks into your laptop computer, to prevent them jamming in the drive.
  13. Don't expose your laptop to rapid temperature fluctuations.
  14. Have the unit cleaned once a year to remove internal dust.
I am trying to follow these tips to take good care of mine... hope you find it useful.
