“Ave Maria”

Composed/Arranged by Yoko Kanno
Vocals by Jerzy Knetig

My favorite interpretation of Ave Maria and one of the few things that keeps me calm and at ease. Enjoy.

I wasn’t the biggest fan of the last Metal Gear Solid PSP game and even though the next “major” Metal Gear Solid game is on the PSP it looks to rivaling its PS2 predecessors!

Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker takes place a decade after Operation Snake Eater, following Big Boss as he attempts to liberate a defenseless Costa Rica, destroy the new Metal Gear (again), and lead to the formation of the mercenary state know as “Outer Heaven” (OH SHIT). I’m really digging what I’ve seen so far. Returning from the last Metal Gear PSP game (Portable OPS) is Ashley Wood, again beautifully drawing majority of the cinematic for the game, a new graphics engine that rivals what the PS2 could do in the early days, and a revised control-scheme. Looks like I’m going to have find the PSP in this house…

The new theme song for the game is titled “Heavens Divide” and has been played endlessly on my part. Give it a listen down below!

PS: OHHH SHITTTT! A YOUNGER MASTER MILLER?!

After being frustrated to the point of super blinding rage with the other theme I decided to go back to the basics. More coming soon!

Upgraded to a new theme, so everything might not be in place and/or not working. If you find any bugs let me know!

PS: Testing out the flash plugin with the theme, to view the video have your mouse over the picture and click on the magnifying glass on the bottom right!

I found this quote on a wallpaper while browsing /w/. I liked the quote so I’d figure I’d share my joy with you two-three people that read this blog. Plus, it gives me an excuse for posting on here since my life is completely mundane. =_=

I can’t give solutions to all of life’s problems, doubts or fears.
But I can listen to you, and together we will
search for answers.

I can’t change your past with all it’s heartache and pain,
nor the future with its untold stories.
But I can be there now when you need me to care.

I can’t keep your feet from stumbling.
I can only offer my hand that you may grasp it and not fall.

Your joys, triumphs, successes, and happiness are not mine;
Yet I can share in your laughter.

Your decisions in life are not mine to make, nor to judge;
I can only support you, encourage you,
and help you when you ask.

I can’t prevent you from falling away from friendship,
from your values, from me.
I can only pray for you, talk to you, and wait for you.

I can’t give you boundaries which I have determined for you,
But I can give you the room to change, room to grow,
room to be yourself.

I can’t keep your heart from breaking and hurting,
But I can cry with you and help you pick up the pieces
and put them back in place.

I can’t tell you who you are
I can only love you and be your friend

Things are looking up for 2009! FINALLY GEEZ

One month, one month until I’m done with my first year of college. I’ve said this before but seriously time does go by too fast. Hopefully time will slow down in the summer. Still trying to find a second job since the job market is in bad shape but hopefully I’ll get something. I also found the first motorcycle that I’ll be starting off with after receiving my license: the Bridgestone DT175. I took at look at it last week with my father and fell in love with the bike. The motorcycle needs a bit of love and care but nothing that hard.

Also, Full Metal Alchemist: Brotherhood started broadcasting in Japan. I saw the first episode the other day and was highly impressed with the animation, music, and voice acting.
I have a feeling that this second iteration of the series will surpass the first. ALSO, MORE HUGHES YEAAH!

PS: The ending song for the new FMA series titled “USO” by SID is an amazing song. I’ve been listening to it for the whole day. @_@

I promised I would post something so taking the lazy route I’ll post a video and today is the start of my spring break! WOOOO!

Also, for the fifth year in a row SXSW has released its DRM-free, RIAA-safe collection of songs totaling 6 GB of tomorrows’ upcoming music artists! The South by Southwest (SXSW) music festival is one of the largest and most popular in the United States.

Sony Releases New Stupid Piece Of Shit That Doesn’t Fucking Work

First day of March… I’m already almost doing being a Freshman in college. Bloody hell, where did the time go?

THINGS TO DO FOR THE MONTH OF MARCH:
- GET A NEW JOB
- SCHOOL WORK IS CRAP
- Find a cheap dirt-bike to practice motorcycle license for summer

For the trip(s) I’m taking during the summer and the project of having both a new computer and motorcycle getting a second job is a must! Hopefully, I can find something… 2 WEEKS AWAY!

Also, the new Fullmetal Alchemist anime is coming in April! The new anime is going to follow the manga exactly so WOOOOT!

Thanks for the Iron-Man picture SK!

So, kinda sitting here waiting for my drunkard of a roommate to get out of the shower (I think he passed out) and felt like posting. I’m currently looking for a pair of new headphones to replace my dysfunctional Plantronics DSP-500. This time I’m thinking of actually getting a nice pair of headphones. Looking into getting the Audio-Technica ATH-A900 Art, AKG K-701, or the Sennheiser HD-595 . Kinda leaning towards the Audio-Technica’s since they are blue plus they don’t require an amp but still looking for any suggestions or recommendations!

Also, happy Valentine’s day even though its another year of being single again. Oh well, still at least a happy Valentine’s Day to the couples I know and the ones that might soon be.

Unrelated stuff, I just thought it was awesome and funny:

So, I got the bright idea of changing the site domain’s name… kinda killed the site for a bit. Yeah, my bad. Luckily, after finding a computer (my lappy is in repairs) and tinkering around a bit the site is finally back up! Huzza!

More to come!
