FreeBird

sian lor.
another day spent doing nothing in general.
its kinda relaxing after newswriting, actually.
so i spent all day today relaxing and listening to music lor.
i keep listening to this song by freebird.
its by a southern rock band called lynyrd skynyrd.
its got a slow beginning that really brings out the insanely fast guitar solo.
and the lyrics in the beginning...
they're really nice, actually.
kinda too happy for me.
sometimes.

dunno leh.
i like old rock songs.
cb.
i really turn into ah gong liao.
you cant really blame me that old rock songs are so much better.
maybe newer songs are too fast for me.
*hobbles around with a cane*
idk leh.
not that i dont listen to newer songs.
i do.
ii think trivium are great, for example.
and no1 reading this knows who the hell trivium is, aside from william.

there are so many great old bands.
most of the time old-school is better.
even rap.
would you rather listen to a overproduced retard making noise about sex drugs and money or a actually TALENTED rapper talking about stuff that actually matters?

you know whats the difference between pop rock and glam metal?
they're both genres which depend heavily on ballads and image.
but glam metal is more "acceptable".
the difference?
talent.
even glam metal bands play well.
guitar solos.
what is rock without solos?
this is why saint anger was shit.

knn.
i become mat rock already, i think.
i'm too young to look that old.
i'm only 18.

shit.
and the first thing that came to my mind is that song by alice cooper called i'm 18.
its... 37 years old.
yep. i'm listening to songs twice my age.
its kinda worrying.
well... shouldn't i be listening to newer songs, at the very least?
i mean...
i wouldn't listen to pop like fall out boy.
but shouldn't i at least listen to something... newer?
at least 90s or later?
like RATM for instance.

oh well.
maybe i should just give in lah.
i mean...
even though i'm actually quite young.
i feel old.
i've got the old mat rock feel around me.
i mean...
look at the bands i like.

black sabbath. formed 1968
judas priest. formed 1968
ac/dc. formed 1973.
deep purple. formed 1968 (wow. triple coincidence)

look at them.
i never really realised, but when i see pictures of them...
half are in black and white.
the other half show greying or balding middle aged men.

seriously.
some days i feel ancient.
i refer to any1 under 16 as kid.
most people think i'm at least 20.
its kinda depressing.
william looks around as old, but he doesnt have the old feel around him.
yuxuan looks like he's permanently waiting for his o lvl results.
the rest?
ccl looks like a secondary school kid (in a bad way)
wun really talk much lah...

i've got 3 months and 13 days left until i turn 18.
then i wont be a kid anymore.
i'll officially be old.
funny enough, i already feel that way.

ever watched the simpsons?

i've got the movie, btw.
if any1 wants, ask me.

my fave charac is otto mann.
he's a permanently slacking guy who cant get a proper job and rocks out all day long.
he's like an unemployed mat rock bum, basically.

anyway...
i'm really bored now, so im not doing much now.
i'm basically a bum lor.
oh well.

oh yah.
ever heard the song black maria?
by ronin?
its tune is fuckin' STOLEN!
i just found out today.
stolen (more or less)
from a song called gimme 3 steps by lynyrd skynyrd

Suicide...Have You Tried.
by the anti nowhere league.

Who's gonna notice as you walk on by
Who really cares if you live or die
Who's gonna miss you if you walk on by
Have you ever tried suicide?

Write a letter...but write it in blood
You're all alone...there is no God
You're feeling scared, stop running away
Nobody wanted you anyway

Who's gonna notice as you walk on by
And who really cares if you live or die
And who's gonna miss you if you walk on by
Have you ever tried suicide?

Well take my hand, come dance with me
Take just one step and you'll be free
You'll see no lies in these blood red eyes
You ain't gotta dream when you're dancing in fire
