It's not dead.
Hello. I'm not dead, FYI.
I've chosen to continue my blog here. Ensidia recently made user blogs available, so I thought I'd continue to write here in order to get more feedback than I tend to here.
Stick around.

When stalkerinsticts take over.
Hi! Yet again in class, typing! It's the awesome. It really, really is. History has got to be the most slackery lesson ever. Really, they were designed to be writing blog in. Basically right, everyone has read like 5 pages at home in our book. We then show up to class, and the teacher starts writing notes on the blackboard, while talking about what we read at home (obviously she adds something to the mix to sort of spice it up, but it has limited effect on us in all honesty). Therefore, these lessons are absolutely perfect for blogging. I even look like I write notes, pro!
Now I have to admit, I haven't actually planned any content for this post. I know it's a bit unfair to make a post without having actual content, but after all, I guess that's what blogs are all about. The writing whatever pops into your mind, is the essential in the art of bloggage. No matter how subjective the blog might turn out, no one is ever going to judge. Which is awesome. Now obviously if I choose to write something completely insane, there is a good chance I would be banned. And if I indeed got banned, no one would be able to read my blog. Then what's the point? As mentioned earlier, blogs are all about the rea... argh I did it again. I got emotional. Actually, while writing that sentence something just came to me. I've got content now. Yippie!
But first, as always, I will, of course, introduce to you, the almighty awesome of win, section of "WTF am I listening to!?". But as the quick reader already has spotted, I'm not currently able to listen to anything louder than 0.01 db. As mentioned earlier, this is something I need to work on. I need to come up with a new concept, to keep the old idea alive. This I will consider and update about for a later time. I owe it to my religious wave of followers to be constructive and innovative in these modern days. After all, they are what keeps this blog going...
Insert major cough of sarcasm and salty tears here.
Soo, let's see what I've been listening to recently. Tool. A lot of Tool. This band rocks. End of story. If anyone disagrees with me, you can go die in a fire. It's progressive metal in its best shape. Simply put, it's genious. If you indeed have no idea who Tool is, my question has got to be: "wtfbbqlazor in ur hed r go WR0ONG m8 lulz?". I know it might seem a mighty bit vague at first, but after eating each word with a mighty stick of pork, I'm sure you will find it useful in some respect. Anyway here it is: Tool - Third Eye. It's 14 minutes long, though I'm sure you're gonna enjoy every second of it. As far as I know, they wrote it while being stoned back to the stoneage so to speak. The intro by Bill Hicks confirms this, at least that's how I understand it.
Yay content! Here's the thing that popped into my mind earlier on. I've begun reading a new book, yes indeed. Now normally, I only read books on summer vacation, yet I couldn't resist the temptation of reading this one. Like a week ago I watched a tour of Hayley Williams' house on Paramore's official website. On her wall she had with a friend written the last sentence from the book "The Giver". I got curious and googled it. Apparently, it describes an utopian dream world, where everyone has been ripped from feelings. They're not gone alltogether tough, they're stored in one soul, in The Giver. If you've ever seen the movie Equilibrium, it reminds me a great deal about that one. Christian Bale plays the main character in that one. Watch it if you haven't - it's quite decent. So I borrowed the book and began reading it yesterday. Very excited to say the least. So far it's been very good, and I hope to finish it within a short period of time.
When I'm done, I will make a review for your reading pleasure, so stick around.
Better stop here, need to do group work, Argh!
Stay tuned.

The multi layered retrospective
Hello. I meant to update a few days ago, but yet again I've found myself slacking. I really meant to. Honestly. As usual, I thought I could be able to do my updating in class. Yet every time I thought "Alright I'll sit down next german lesson (for example) and write something", we were divided into some stupid groups and had to do actual work. Nothing more annoying. The optimal lessons are the ones where the teacher talks non stop for 90 minutes basically. Here, you can pretend to be writing notes from the blackboard, but in reality just sit and slack on msn or your blog as it turns out in my case. As a matter of fact, whole next week is gonna be one giant group work of doom. Therefore I'm destined to do my updates at home. Life is cruel I suppose.
Also, I've begun playing my shaman a lot more than I used to. The simple explanation happens to be one of the main points of this entire post, which is why I'm gonna save it for later.
First moving on to the wonderful section of "wtf am I listening to in this very moment". I'm not sure if any of you are familiar with the band Lostprophets. It's a mix of emo/rock/punk.. stuff. Actually, I quite like it. I believe the first song I ever heard by them was Last Train Home. Indeed a classic to me by now, yet I'm gonna throw another song by them out there. Since this post is gonna be, as the title cleverly suggests, sort of a retrospective and a sneak peak of the future, I thought why not add a song to the post, which is sorta nostalgic for me. So, here it is: Lostprophets - Shinobi vs Dragon Ninja. When Nihilum back in the day released their Ahn'Qiraj movie by Zombie Entertainment I believe it was, this song was included in the tracklist. Every time I listen to it, I think back to the days of AQ. The opening event, the race to C'Thun, and the surprise of Nihilum beating DnT. If I recall correctly, this was the first time Nihilum beat DnT for a world first. No one was expecting it really, but it was nice to have some competition for it. As you most likely know, Nihilum basically ruled WoW regarding world firsts up until Sunwell, where SK finally beat them. If you know me (As in really know me. Not a lot of my friends do), you will know how much of a fanboy I am. I follow the race for world firsts very closely. At least I used to. These days world firsts don't really exist in my honest opinion. With the introduction of the optional achievements and stuff, it has become very hard to decide when a world first is actually a world first. Also, since the content is so easily beaten, you never really have that "omg DnT didnt kill him monday. Nihilum might have a chance at him tuesday, but then suddenly Curse comes and takes him on wednesday evening". Now you just hear about it really, it's impossible to be a spectator to as it used to be. I find this very annoying, yet I don't think it's ever coming back.
Moving on to the main point of the post.
Right. So here's the real reason I've called this post what I have. Before we had the nostalgia thingy of world first, here's the second part. If you have read one of my previous posts (I don't recall which one it was), you will know I have been racing a friend to reach 80 on my hunter. I lost. Yeah, I'm disappointed too. The delicious, wonderful and indeed refreshing coke in the shape of .5 liters will never be in my possesion (I spelled that right?). This bothers me a great deal, yet I've got to accept the consequences of this. On march the 21st 2009, my friend hit 80. I was still at 73 at that time, yet had been slacking a bit the days before. Really, I guess he deserved it. He fought well. He really, really did. Despite a sudden knockback, he came back in the fight and broke the streak of levels I was in. Showing this much confidence, and determination in a such hectic and indeed stressful situation is something not a lot of people would be able to handle. My friend did, which I believe, is what gave him the win in the end. Well that and the fact that I was burned out. Have you ever tried to level 2 chars from 0-80 in one go basically? I can tell you, it is one of the biggest tasks I have ever tried to accomplish. At this point, I'm still 73. I've sorta burned out on it, and since my friend now is 80, I don't feel the big need to level him to 80. It's not like I'm gonna use it anyway. Hunter is probably the most boring class ever invented by man. That and the fact that I've only logged onto my rogue once since I hit 80, tells my there's no real point in getting the last few levels at this point. I may level him at some point. You never really know I suppose.
This brings me back to me playing a lot on my shaman. My main char, Coire of Arathor EU, is more or less optimized gear wise. Only a few upgrades to get before Ulduar, so I choose to just raid with her for now. Therefore, I've chosen to get some updates for my shaman. I had almost completely forgotten how much fun enhancement dps was. It is, by far, the most enjoyable area of DPS I've ever tried. I'm getting a lot of epics these days, and hope to be ready to enter stuff like Naxx 25 in a couple of weeks.
So I guess that's what I wanted to share for now. Grats to my friend, he shall be rewarded at some point. I promise lad. Blue Plz (wcradio.com) is coming up in 15 minutes, with the latest updates from all across the WoW community. I'm certainly gonna tune in to listen to the latest rant of TotalBiscuit, and so should you.
Have nothing planned for next post. Gotta hope something interesting pops up (Which these things sorta tend to.)
Smell ya later.

Why is abbreviation such a long word?
Hello people of the intertubes. This post is gonna be something a little different, something a little random. Something a little awful.
Currently, I'm listening to Savin' Me by Nickelback. A good oldie. However, I'm gonna skip this section more or less today, and move on to something that's been bothering me.
I wasn't originally gonna post something already, but over the past say.. 3 hours, I've been incredibly bored. Obviously, everyone is bored once in a while. Usually though, I don't happen to find myself in that situation. And I'm not just talking slightly waiting for something etc bored, I'm talking really bored. Like, I'll log on to WoW, sit in Dalaran for 10 minutes, and I'll log out. I'll play 10 minutes of CoD, find myself being ganked or just not having all that much fun. So I'll log out, check my mail. Nothing there of course. I'll check Facebook. Nothing new happening. I'll go get something eat, eat it, and then find myself still being hungry, yet not hungry enough to actually get up and get some real food (I'm addicted to cookies and milk), so I'm never really satisfied. After that, I'll play 2 songs on GH. Again I'll find myself being bored, so I'll turn it off. I'll grab my guitar, play a few random chords, trying to improve on my bar chords, fail, and then put it down again. I'll check Mininova for new movies. Nothing there (If you have any movie suggestions, please feel free to share), I'll log on to WoW, stand in Dalaran 10 minutes, log out. I'll go get something to drink, but there's a good chance it's not gonna help my thirst cause I avoid water (It's boring, really). I'll check my mail and facebook again. You might've guessed, nothing interesting.
For next week, I've got 4 papers I need to write. I've already done 3 1/3 of these, yet cannot be bothered to finish the last one. It's for wednesday anyway, I should be okay. Just the thought of it makes me... bored. I got up at 9 today, made all my homework and stuff, thinking that I could spend the rest of the day relaxing. But instead I've walked right into this boredom wall of death and terror. I could go outside. But really, what would I do outside? Playing cowboys and indian isn't exactly my preferred activity. I could run. Admittedly, if I hadn't been playing football yesterday and had practice tomorrow, there's a good chance I would. But I'm not. Instead, I'm continuing to be bored. Eventually the clock'll make its way to 8 and my raid is gonna begin, but until then, I'm gonna remain bored. WoW doesn't even seem that tempting atm. Sure I could go farm some herbs, do a heroic or two, or level my hunter. Yet all these things, with the exception of heroics on my shaman, appeal incredibly boring to me at this point. No one in the guild really wants heroics, and I'm gonna end up bald if I contiune to pug my way forward.
The only thing that actually has kept my busy for more than 10 minutes today has been House. It it, by far, the best television show I've ever seen. It might not have the thrill and excitement the first seasons of Lost/Heroes had, but my God is it consistent. It never fails, and you can watch it over and over again. Perhaps that's one of the major advantages of it really. I don't think I'm gonna stop watching it till I know 20 secs after each episode begins exactly what is wrong with the patient, why they're sick and whatever happened between the team during the episode. I know it's asking a lot, but setting personal goals is the way to achieving stuff. It really, really is.
Anyway, I'm gonna stop it here and continue my routine of boredom. Writing on my blog was a way to get away from it, and it has kept my busy for let's see... 15 minutes! That's a new record for the day I believe. If I end up this way I might get somewhere with my life. No guarentees though.

Observing the previously unobservable
Hi. Yet again I'm in class, typing. It's turning into a bit habit really, but this is the time I can be completely dedicated to the blog, and my thoughts. Admittedly, I ought to pay a bit more attention and possibly say something out loud. Indeed the teacher would probably like this. I will consider this for a later time. See, at home lately I've been levelling happily on my hunter, and playing quite a bit guitar (Both plastic and real). Therefore, I choose to do these things at home, and focus more on my blog in school. This might change at a later time.
Moving on the the holy subject of "Wtf am I listening to atm". Since I've been playing increasing amounts of guitar lately, I thought why not share a personal guitar favourite of mine. As you very well know, I can in fact not listen to it myself while writing (Which was sorta the main point of introducing the section), but I'm gonna throw one out there anyway. I know it in my head, yet I do know that this isn't enough in the long run. I will think about this and come up with a solution. Possibly in the next post, possibly in the one after. Anyway here it is: Andy McKee - Art of Motion. I hope you will enjoy it. This bloke is my hero when it comes to being awesome at guitar. A friend introduced me to him a couple of years back, and he has indeed made a lot of awesome music. Please feel free to check him out if you wish.
Moving on to content! Yes, yes we do have content! COOOOONTENT (I tried to do a TB impression there, prolly failed horribly). As I said in my last post, I'm gonna share with you "A day in my life". I went to Germany on sunday, and am gonna talk about that specific day. So here it is.
I got up at 10 AM. We had to leave at 11, so I had an hour to get ready, shower, eat, whatever. Yet instead of being concerned of all this rubbish, I played some CoD4. If you've never played CoD, I would advice you to check it out. I find it to be the best FPS ever to be released. Sure, CS was awesome, but when it comes to the newer FPS'es out there, this is a safe win. I played some Crossfire and Backlot if I remember correctly, and got a score around 30-20. Having positive score always makes you happy, and indeed it gave me a moral boost for the rest of the day. At 11 we were off. It's around 400 km's each way, so indeed it was quite a long trip. We reached Aabenraa (Lol that looks silly), and picked up my cousins and uncle. Being 3 persons on the backseat was slightly annoying, but I guess it was alright. We drove like 30 mins or so, and stopped to have lunch. Sandwich and water. Yummi! Drove another hour or so, and reached the arena (We were gonna watch a footbal match, did I even mention that? Hum). It's a 20 minute walk from the parking lot to the actual arena. I think we found our seats around 3 PM. Now, the match didn't start until 5, so we had 2 hours to do absolutely nothing. So we just kinda sat around and looked stupid. The match begun. Safe to say there were some quite devoted people there, yelling like hell etc. Guess that's how it's supposed to be. Hamburg won 2-0, quite a solid win I should say. So we left again, had something to eat (Jägerschnitzel, mhm), dropped off cousins/uncle and drove home. Think we were home around 10.30 PM. Played a tiny bit of CoD, logged on to WoW real quick, and then bed.
So that's a day in my life. Hope my friend's satisfied now. Boring/exciting? Judge for yourself. Next time I'm probably gonna go back to something movie/WoW'ish.
Laitah.

We reached Aabenraa (Lol that looks silly), and picked up my cousins and uncle. Being 3 persons on the backseat was slightly annoying, but I guess it was alright. We drove like 30 mins or so, and stopped to have lunch. Sandwich and water. Yummi! Drove another hour or so, and reached the arena (We were gonna watch a footbal match, did I even mention that? Hum). It's a 20 minute walk from the parking lot to the actual arena. I think we found our seats around 3 PM. Now, the match didn't start until 5, so we had 2 hours to do absolutely nothing. So we just kinda sat around and looked stupid. The match begun. Safe to say there were some quite devoted people there, yelling like hell etc. Guess that's how it's supposed to be. Hamburg won 2-0, quite a solid win I should say. So we left again, had something to eat (Jägerschnitzel, mhm), dropped off cousins/uncle and drove home. Think we were home around 10.30 PM. Played a tiny bit of CoD, logged on to WoW real quick, and then bed.
So that's a day in my life. Hope my friend's satisfied now. Boring/exciting? Judge for yourself. Next time I'm probably gonna go back to something movie/WoW'ish.
Laitah.

Being a vampire - the new black?
Hello world. Yet again I find myself typing in class. Main reason for this being that I've found the lessons to be increasingly boring. Actually, maybe it's just me who is becoming increasingly slackier. But between the occasional note taking, there is nothing to do really. Listening to the teacher rambling on about whatever is easily doable while typing, and thinking. Or is it now? Hey, wait. Back up, what's that last thing we were supposed to do? A paper you say? When? Yesterday? Oh..
A friend of mine has been bugging me about posting on the subject of "A day in my life". He thinks this would actually be interesting reading. I wouldn't be so sure, yet I'm planning on doing it anyway. Not in this post, though. I will be going to Germany on sunday with my father, uncle and cousins. Hopefully this will be a fun experience, which I will be able to talk about later. Who knows, there might even pop up a fun story, which I would be able to share with my great wave of addicted blog readers. Yeah..
For this entry, however, I'm gonna go ahead and post some more.. movie stuff! Yes that's right. Recently I downloaded the one and only Twilight. For a long time, I wasn't sure if I could be arsed with it, but I found myself bored and did it anway. More on this subject in a wee bit.
Moving on to the sacred section of "What am I listening to while typing". Being in class again, I'm gonna have to deal with the issue of not being able to listen to anything. No worries though. As always, I've got a fresh song in mind I listening to just about an hour ago. I can still imagine it in my head, or well, recall the rythm. As I've mentioned a few times, I really enjoy melodic death metal. To give you just a tiny slice of this, I'm gonna go ahead and give you this: In Flames - F(r)iend. I hope you will enjoy it, I sure know I do. Obviously, In Flames has made numerous of indeed awesome tracks, and recently I have found myself exploring the more trashy side of the band. Initially, you might find yourself shocked at the aggresive riffs and growly vocals, but don't worry. The more you listen to it, the more compelled you get. It is indeed awesome.
A couple of months ago, my sister and dad (I think it was), were talking about the hideous amount of hits The Beatles has made. I don't think I fired off a counter argument, but in my head I tried to imagine which bands I knew, who had produced more hits than those guys. I came up with Breaking Benjamin and In Flames. The amount of good music those to band in particular have produced is close to unimagineable. Just a short detour from the main point, but I thought it was relevent. Anyway please feel free to explore the band if you wish, you are most likely not going to regret it.
So main topic for the post, Twilight. I've heard loads of chatter about it, it was in commercials everywhere and I was getting very curious. So a few nights ago I finally downloaded it, and watched it. I didn't know much about it to begin with. Something about vampires, a romance affair and Muse and Paramore on the OST. If I have to be quite honest, the main reason I got around to it was because of Paramore. Love it, watching movies while listening to awesome music is a crazy match. However, when the movie was over and the credits started rolling, some random song started. Eventually it ended, and some other song played. Still no Paramore. I was getting desperate. The movie was long over, and credits just kept on rolling. So the next song ended and then, finally, Paramore began playing. It made my day. Actually, it probably did not. But there you go.
So anyway the plot of the movie real quick. You meet this girl who is, apparently, completely normal. She moves to a new city (Can't recall which), and tries to function in a new high school in a new place. She is very popular, which I found sorta odd. Usually in these types of movies, they are being bullied back to the stoneage, but then end up rocking the school in the end. Anyway she spots this guy one day and more or less instantly falls in love with him (At least that's what it looked like). The guy doesn't for some odd reason seem to like her. He's away from school a couple of days and our main character gets worried. Then some day he returns, saves the girl from a car accident, and melts her heart. She finds out that he is indeed a vampire, as his entire family is. Now as you all know (Assuming you haven't been living under a rock), vampires live on blood. According to this movie they don't sleep either. This I didn't know. You learn every day, eh? Howver, people in this family don't drink human blood. They stick to animals. But despite this, people are getting murdered all over the place. As you may have guessed, there is an evil rival family going on. And those guys like human blood. It ends up in a giant vampire catfight, the bad family loses and the god one conquers all. And, of course, the girl gets her loved one in the end as well.
So, recommend or not? IMDB has given it 6.1. Not a lot. And quite honestly, I'm gonna stick with that. The plot was boring, not original at all, acting was a bit meh. Only thing that pulls is up is the use of Muse and Paramore. Sorry. If you one night find yourself bored to tears, thinking that it's either watch a random movie or shoot yourself in the foot - you should watch it. If you don't happen to find yourself in that situation though, there's plenty of better movies out there these days.
Again a post belonging in the movie section. Quite a few of these by now. Next time, however, I'm gonna post the "A day in my life" thingy. It might turn out horrible, it might turn out alright. Time will show, as always.
Stay tuned.
