Who Doesn't Know What I'm Talking About?

So I haven't been up to a hell of a lot really. Ever since uni has started up for the semester, it's just been the usual for me. School Mon-Thurs, big sleep on Fri, then study Sat and Sun. Just that over and over. Then there was also the self imposed exile for which I must thank the other profusely for, as he took me in and I was able to listen to some of his newer tracks which sound fantastic. It was a good evening, steak, chocolate cake, wine and 4 player Ghost Recon on the XBox, absolute bliss I must say.

School is funny you know, no matter how much work you do, there will always be a time where work just starts piling up and starts to drown you so that you have no choice but to work like a psycho. I am now in one of those situations. Hopefully over the next 2 weeks I can get all my crap done. I think I am also going to Brisbane next month, which should be good as I have never been to Qld before. I look forward to the warm weather and slutty tweens.

There was a time when I feared for my guitar playing, as I had been using only my fingers to play, and when using a pick again recently it felt like I was carrying a brick and I was playing like a git. Luckily, with steady practice and discipline I have worked hard and now I can properly hybrid pick (some lines are even more complicated than Mr Johnson himself) so I am quite pleased. I have gotten myself back up to the speed and accuracy that I gained at the end of the last holidays. I haven't had the time to write lyrics in ages, but I have some absolute brilliant ideas for some good riffs I have come up with.

Well as I mentioned, I better do my work, so expect another update sometime very soonish! Have a nice day people.

Knaves V1.2

Well it looks to me like I finally decided to show my ass back here, haha no such thing, I didnt mean to run away so far, but what can I say I had a lot on my plate. Pretty tired today, so it will just be a round up off all the things that have been happening in my life.

Yes, its true, Knaves finally decided to join the work force, and am currently working at subway. I'd been pretty busy with trying to locate a job for myself, and what do you know, somehow I got the job that I thought of getting on the way back here. I had a job offer from KFC, and then later got one from subway. I decided that subway was the better choice, coz whats better than to eat fresh eh?? Haha not only that, but its close, and the pay is better...

Work is really piling up, and it looks to me like this semester is going to be one ball of a sememster, what do you know, I've already started making my way through the text books, because I figure, my careless attitude wont get me far as it usually does, so its time to put in the hard hours, maybe in the end it will pay off, lets see how it goes...

And to my already packed schedule, I have added a workout plan which i follow religiously to keep in shape, and I feel a lot healthier at least. Now all I have to do is reduce the smoking, and I will be in good shape...

Thats the update for now, I have 2 classes and a shift tommo, so I better haul my ass back to the bed, and count the stars or something, and fall right off to sleep. I will be back tommo, and have a bunch of crap that needs to be written about, so keep posted...

Chink's takin over the world!!!!

Arrite..here's the deal, the minute i walked into to my macro tute, i just knew something was wrong. all i could smell in the room was bad breath. Without giving further notice to the stench, i took a seat since i was already half n hour late. After hearing the teacher ramble on about something, i looked around the class. DUDE, i wouldn't believe this, but i was the only guy in class with normal eyes. Every single person in that room was a chink, except for me. With 70 percent population of UTS being local students, what r the chances that i enrolled into class where every single one got their name from dropping a spoon. i don't mean to be reacist or anything, but cmon....u can't tell whether they'r sleeping or wide awake or the fact that u can't distinguish between them since all of them look alike. Anyways, manage to go through the class without throwin up cause of the smell.

What else? Went to the Dark Tranquility concert the other day. It was awesome. The magic of mixing, melodic tunes with extreme guitar rythms, fast drums with ear pumping double base, guitar solos and the growling just takes to another level of adranelin and head banging. The last song they played was "WONDERS AT YOUR FEET". It gave me goosebumps just standing there and swayin to the rythm. One song everybody must here whether ur a metal fan or not. HATE BREED opened up. They were pretty arrite, but not much of a fan of american, kowtow thrash metal where there's no variation and forget about those guitar solos. Think out of the box man. Stop goin for the chorus - verse - chorus - bridge - chorus - END. and those rythms with no variation, just heavy strumming. Very few american bands have actually gone out of the way to be unconventional, and not adhere to the amercian conformist way of playing metal...namely Still Remains..awesome band...

Knaves. i'm puting up the song here so that u would actually have a look at it..

PEACE

UNTITLED
(VERSE)
The black hole forever mine.
I need the fear.
Push me out
Ohh be brave
Show me signs
Should I feel shame for the questions that I have with you?
If you could be
The things I need.
(I'll crawl through knives
An inch per tear.)
These knees, they bleed for you.
(Let the colour persuade the hate
That you fear.)
Feed the lie.
Force the reason.
Leave me in doubt.
Need some motivation

(CHORUS)
It's in my hands.
The sky, so bright.
It's burning.
It's for me to decide.
If flames will reach heaven tonight.
It's in my hands.

(VERSE)
Nailed to the floor
Paralyzed
Emotions drifting
Though(?) the new
If you could be
The things I need.
I'll crawl through knives
An inch per tear.
It's in my hands.
The sky, so bright.
It's burning.
It's for me to decide.
If flames will reach heaven tonight.

(CHORUS)
It's in my hands.
It's in my hands.
The sky, so bright.
It's burning.
It's for me to decide.
If flames will reach heaven tonight.

(CHORUS)
It's in my hands.
It's in my hands.
The sky, so bright.
It's burning.
It's for me to decide.
If flames will reach heaven tonight.
It's in my hands.

Postscript

One more day, and it will be the culmination of my first week back, well I've been back a week already, but I mean the end of the first school week. Its been good so far, had an assignment due already, and it went quite well I must say, a 10 on 10 is quite good if I can say so myself. Its been a crazy day today, had a lot going on. Had a major drama with my printer this morning, and now I am left with really painful cuts on my hands. One of my printers had a screw stuck in it (that i realized afterwards) so couldn't use that, and then the other one ran out of ink, and while refilling it, I managed to cut my hands in over 6 places, I was in a real rush, and needed it done soon. But the good thing is, regardless of what the cost, I got my work done, and thats all that matters. And when I went into class, the tutor is like do you want more time to do todays assignment?? I was about to slap him, I spent so much time getting it done the last few days!!!

There was a band comp on today at the bar. And I must say that the music was quite ordinary. The one band I liked, was a band that played last year, and they played the same set, so I was a little disappointed, same venue and the same set, quite unimpressive!! Other than that, it was good fun, lots of friends there, and we had a good chat. After that it was KJ's birthday, and so we had a drink there, and an overkill on the chocolate fudge cake!! Finally the night ended with a Shisha or should I say two, and we all sat around talking about crap.

I realized that I am a dumb ass, everyone else knows that, but i didnt!! I was always smart in my head. The heater was working all this time, but I just read the directions wrong, and turned it off instead of on!! But to my defense, its not an on off button, its queer!! My room is finally clean, and there is walking space, actually there is enough space in this room to to jam in here, should get a drum kit in here, hehehe.

Anyways, thats all for now, its getting late, and I am quite tired, have to get up at 10 in the morning, so I am off. Take care all!!
