Let's talk musicianship: punk rock


Posted on 06/21/2012 at 12:53 PM | Filed Under Blogs

Very nice, speaking of estrogen, hot and attractive singers, have you ever heard of the band Dead Sara? The singer Emily Armstrong has such a strong growl and raspiness to her voice, its just plain badass. They also sing some nice slow pieces that set a nice mood.

I also remember meeting the guys from "The Used" once because their band actually started here in Utah! I've never been much of a punk rocker, but I do love quite a bit of the music.  

Keep up the posts man! I love how you break down their music when you describe them.

Ah good times. 

I remember cruising around listening to metal all night. I'm a huge fan of Metallica, and I also listen to Nightwish pretty often.Iron Maiden has some classic songs I'm a huge fan of.

I'm interested in what you have in store for us next!

I actually do get quite a few challanges, and I train other martial artists on their kicks and footwork!

Kendo does seem very hard on your legs, I wish I could have practiced it more, but there seems to be a shortage of Kendo schools in my area.

Thanks! I'm glad you liked them.

I have quite a few precious memories in Taekwondo. Back at the height of my Taekwondo career, me and my teammates were actually considered top 10 in the state in terms of skill.  I specialized in feints, and inside fighting. Because of my short height, I couldn't afford to try and duke it out with someone who could hit me first because he had longer legs. I became very good at dashing to close the distance, and I had to feint effectively in order to find opportunities to move in, or attack. What actually made me notorious was the fact that I could kick you in the head with only a foot of space between me and my opponent. I also scored many knockouts because I was good with counter kicks towards the head ( both opponents kick at the same time, but one person connects with a kick using their momentum, and your strength to give devastating strikes).

Kendo is a great martial art. You develop strong arm and back muscles, while strengthening your core to do more effective slashes. I did a bit of Kendo at one time, and even learned a bit of Fencing. Fun times indeed.

Thanks for the well thought out response! 

Buddhism is very hard to learn when your environment doesn't permit it. Sure you can read a book, but it's not the same as learning how an individual translates it to their life. It's hard to describe, but Buddhism is more of a way of life than an actual religion. The only religion that fully embraces human nature, and is, ironically, deeply rooted in a pseuydo mythology/science. There is no god in Buddhism, but that doesn't mean your not allowed to believe in one, or more. 

 I skipped many classes when I was in High school, but I always found myself in incredibly ridiculous situations. I would, just like you, often go to a park, or even just cruise around. I'll talk more about those experiences in future entries.

I didn't have too many problems in school itself, but people were afraid of me because of the bruises, and bandages I often came to school in. There were times where ended up in fights that were a bit too much for me, but I learned my lesson, and became stronger because of it.

I'm surprised by how rich my experiences during those years were. I really did do a lot of things.

Thanks for the read, there's only more to come.

Wow, I love stories like this. I'm actually going back and remembering all the years I was reckless and angry and music was the only thing keeping me from completely breaking down into a worthless mess.

You've inspired me to write a new blog entry sir! Hopefully you'll come and take a look into it.

Being a sushi chef is good fun. The only part I hate is going home smelling like raw fish.

 As much as I love the taste, the smell isn't as appealing....

Haha, no, I live in Ogden, Utah. The first song sounds familiar because one of the samples I used in the song is from a Zelda song called Gerudo Valley. I used tons of other samples from other orchestral instances and made something presentable. Although I take no credit and make no money from that song. It's simply for listening pleasure. I never sell any of the songs I make from samples, simply because lawsuits ARE NOT FUN. 

 Thanks for checking out my stuff though, I really appreciate that you took the time to listen to some of them. 

My take on the games as art debate part 1: Re-defining the question


Posted on 02/26/2012 at 06:25 PM | Filed Under Blogs

This was a great read. I was actually fiddling with the idea of writing a blog about art in video games after beating a particular game, Fragile Dreams.

Since you've written a well thought out idea of art in video games, I I'll do a different idea that rides on the same line.

 Looking forward to more :D
