Not an obsession
Everyone knows Metal is not an obsession; It's a way of life for me. I eat, sleep, drink metal. I prefer guys who listen to metal to guys who listen to mainstream music. I dig band t-shirts and controversial issues in my music lyrical content. So what's the appeal then? What makes METAL (and being a metaller) special to me and to thousands, even million other metallers in the universe? Here are some reasons that I think people like YOU should be informed of.
1. Because metallers/people who embrace metal are actually really nice, happy people who loves picking flowers and skipping to the supermarket for some beer. Even killer Norwegian drummer, Frost from Satyricon can't resist skipping in the meadows, stopping to smell the flowers around him.
2. We have beer. Come on! Even the non-drinkers will buy a non alcoholic beer, drink soda from a drinking horn or buy a bier stein right? HAHAHAHA consume beer = have fun = this.
3. Listening to metal clears help cope with break ups and will somehow help mend your fucked up life. Trust me. I listened to metal when I was feeling shitty and look at me now - I'm bloody happy all the time. When I get stressed, I listen to some metal. When I feel like punching someone in the face, I choose to listen to metal cause I know punching someone isn't worth it, AT ALL.
4. We metallers know how to party. Just bring some beer, chips, and maybe some nasi lemak & ice cream (because sambal is fucking metal, it burns your tongue and ice cream is cold, trve and kvlt), put on some Opeth CD and we'll get a party going on!
5. The amount of subgenres in metal totally overpower the amount of hair you have on your scalp. Hahaha. But seriously, there's A LOT of sungenres in metal that each of them is very different from each other. There's viking metal, wizard metal, space metal, pirate metal, symphonic metal, black metal, thrash metal, death metal, gothic metal, folk metal, progressive metal, avant garde metal, melodic metal, power metal, oriental metal, medieval metal etc. In short, there is a certain genre of metal that everyone can fit into. VARIETY DUDE! VARIETY!
Space metal (Vintersorg)
Folk metal (Falkenbach)
Symphonic metal (Leaves' Eyes)
Well, those are some of my reasons why METAL and the people who listen to it are just bloody awesome. I know I make crappy reasons and all but hey - everyone has their own reasons of why METAL is the best thing that exist in this universe. Now, I'm going to plan about what I'm writing about METAL next; I got a feeling its going to be about "Who says fashion and METAL can't co-exist?".
Stay metal everyone \m/

Wacken
Epica's performance at Wacken 2009 was simply epic. Simone looks stunning (eh she really is and I'm no lesbian ah), and Ariën's drumming is just remarkable. The rest of the band members were also bloody awesome. Haha. Unfortunately the livestream from Wacken went el loco and during 'Consign To Oblivion', it just stopped. The livestream provider gave a funny reason, saying the cause of the distruption was because of 'beer in the cable'. Hahah. Just because there's beer and metal -.-

I, The Idealist.
Had Enterprise class today. Learned about various personalities. The faci made everyone took a personality test and yes, I am a bloody Idealist (INFP according to MYERS-BRIGGS TYPE INDICATOR)
The Idealist
INFPs are highly intuitive about people. They rely heavily on their intuitions to guide them, and use their discoveries to constantly search for value in life.Generally thoughtful and considerate, INFPs are good listeners and put people at ease. INFPs make very good mediators, and are typically good at solving other people's conflicts, because they intuitively understand people's perspectives and feelings, and genuinely want to help them. INFPs are flexible and laid-back, until one of their values is violated. In the face of their value system being threatened, INFPs can become aggressive defenders, fighting passionately for their cause. (This is so true cause I will defend my beloved favorite genre of music, Metal till my very last breath HAHAHA!)
So yeah. The whole day was really interesting, learning about psychology and stuff. Tmr gonna have communication skills class. Hmm.
And faen, I really wanna go to Wacken Open Air some fine day. I've started to save money already, lmao.
