OH MAH GAWD, NOT THE I LOVE SATAN HAND SIGN!!

It always seems strange to me when I see people talking about 1184 being clearly Windir's best, as I've always found the last two albums to be pretty mediocre (although 1184 is a lot stronger than Likferd and has some great tracks) while the first two are the true standouts. Soknardalr in particular always seems to be the one that gets overlooked out of the lot despite being fucking awesome. The last two tracks on that album are magnificent and the melodies are probably the best that Valfar ever composed.

My show on Friday went excellently. Here are the photos we have from it so far.

Who's the scary chick with the shaved head? That you?

He's the microphone.

Tee hee. I'm the drummer, otherwise known as the only person in history to play black metal wearing blue jeans.

Hey, now what's wrong with blue jeans? How else are you going to share the world the stains of your vomit, blood and piss?

I just heard Umskiptar for the first time today and I have to say I really enjoyed it, the riffing was still and reminded me a lot of the slower passages on Belus. I can't believe the amount of flack the album is getting by the black metal crowd, I think its even better and more adventurous than Fallen and its shaping up to be one of my favorite albums thus far for this year.

Wouldn't want to be perpetuating stereotypical standards of beauty here, but, yeah, she looks terrifying. Actually, everyone in the band looks quite scary, barring you, Subrick.

Hold on there. I said she was scary not unattractive.

I should save up for a new monitor. I have a dual screen set up right now, but my second monitor is a 10x10 Viewsonic from circa 2002. The quality compared between the two is awful. Quite frankly I'm rather impressed it still works.

We were beginning to shrug off the old ways that shackled us, and see the world more with enlightened minds and eyes. Then things slowly began changing, like a slow but inexorable pendulum swing instead of settling on a middle way which you would hope for, now we're in the twenty first century.

Changes usually happen over many hundreds of years, gradual changes, which help people to adjust (as they often don't notice) viewing them as natural; which they are.
Behaviour in society is relatively stable and nearly always benefits from gradual change.


Watching a George Carlin video, he/someone said; that as long people continue to see themselves as separate from everything else, the easier it is to enslave them.

On education , .... "and it's the same reason that it will never, ever, ever be fixed".

Speaking of which, has anyone seen this for a better price?

Is that a collection of some of the things you learned in school/college today?

Either that, or something his vegan mom teaches him in between protests.

Bald women are always scary looking, I've yet to find an exception to this rule. Well, there's cancer patients I guess, but that doesn't really count, does it?

Got to see Crowbar and Prong on Saturday for free. Now I'm contemplating whether or not Mastodon, Ghost & Opeth are worth
$37...

Don't mind bald women, short haired women, whatevs. Dated a few black woman, one of them had a shaved head. I dug it.

No it's a product of the deductioning from my own cognitive abilities from what I see happening all around me and watching a video by Mr Carlin about his thoughts on divide and conquer, confirms my suspicions.





Maybe one day instead of constantly trying to ridicule and negate me you will be able to offer a sensible contribution. Name calling and a total failure to at least acknowledge what's happening today suggest either someone obtuse or unsympathetic for his own personal reasons.

I would have thought a self confessed tree hugger wouldn't constantly denigrate someone who cares very much what goes on in the world.

shut up bro. honestly, people don't mock you for your beliefs, or your conviction, or your sincerity. You seem to be sincere and really honest about what you believe in and the causes to which you commit. But you just post stuff in a "free for all" board on a metal forum....not exactly soapbox material on which to stand man.

The reason people make fun of you is the same reason a lot of people here mocked Sunlight. You just post shit with a little commentary (if any original context/commentary, it's mostly other people's thoughts with a tiny response by you) and no one pays attention, and those who do seem to just be annoyed by your fervent attitude in a relatively innocuous forum board.

So, no one is mocking you for who you are, just your methodology. I think.

And how about Natalie Portman in V for Vendetta or Sinead O'Connor when she was young?

Blue metal?

I'll be going now.

The world needs more [colour] metal.

I probably found this a lot funnier than I should have.

Anyway, it's a slow day at work today, just waiting for the client requests to come flooding in so I can stay occupied for most of the day.

All ambient black metal groups should henceforth be known as Goin' Green metal.

same. I work for a grant writing company currently, and I'm just sitting on a complete lack of paperwork to file through and letters to write....hence, on the forums

I do graphic design at a small ecommerce company, and we use a ticketing system, so I'm currently sitting at zero tickets (and zero other things to do.)

I thought free-for-all meant you could post random stuff, whatevers on your mind from the weather to world events? A collage of peoples thought to create a rich and colourful varied "tapestry".

Most of the things I post are written by me with only a little outside contribution for emphasis.

If people wish to make fun of me it's ok because it has no effect, I'm simply acting like a little R2D2 droid relaying my transmissions on how I see my country dying in the face of over whelming dictats from people who were never voted for. there was a vote in the 70's but it was presented as an entirely different beast, and no one growing up since has had a say in their future.

I enjoyed JSs' posts even though I teased him to, he at least is aware of the machinations of state.

Constant lying and subterfuge can have adverse effects on a persona

Neither are bald, though, it's just really shortly cropped. At any rate, no, it's not a look I find attractive... Sinead O'Connor in particular looks like an ostrich. Wasn't the Natalie Portman one going for a prison/concentration camp look, anyway? It's hard to find that sort of thing appealing, I dunno.

I like bald girls. Why not? There aren't that many around. I have different opinions on "beauty" anyway. That's probably off topic, but oh well.

It's only weird when you insist on fucking them in the butt and calling them "mister".

And by weird I mean gay.

Pretty sure we could do without knowing your personal fetishes.

Don't be so defensive.

But um... Natalie Portman was hot with the shaved head.

EDIT: Just found this courtesy of Wiki:


So a hundred grand just to cover one of their songs. Fucking hell.

I was being sarcastic.

Sorry, my humor is dry.

Sarcasm is a defense mechanism!

Okay, it's 1:00 AM and I have to be up in three hours. I was about to say "your humour is drier than a..." but of course there's nothing funny to complete that.

This is perhaps the best post by our esteemed Frogger ever. Hits the nail on the head. Don't get run over by a car, dude.

I am a tree-hugger, that much is obvious. But I'm a tree-hugger from the engineering end of the spectrum, and I like concrete things and realism, and I like people with ideas on how to solve things much more than those who settle for pointing out problems. And in the real world, that tends to turn my opinions towards a cynical direction. Your posts are so vague and superficially abstract, and you assume that people are willing to spend half an hour googling on things to find out what the hell you're blabbering about, that they get either ignored or dismissed as hippie crap written under the influence of some sort of questionable herbal tea.

I have an interest in environmental issues, the problems of indigenous peoples, wars for profit, corporate greed, and other manifestations of the fact that mankind is speeding to hell in a Honda. But if you really wish to discuss those things, make posts that make sense. Otherwise, you're opening yourself to ridicule, and being ignored and labeled as a borderline autistic weirdo. The subject matter in your posts is, obviously, both important and interesting, but don't whine and blame the board if you get pointed at and laughed, if you insist on sounding like a smelly bearded looney with a "The Wörld IS Ending, Let's Contemplate the Daffodils!" sign on a street corner. I love talking about the stuff you post about, especially with a sixpack or two, but there needs to be substance, otherwise we might as well build dreamcatchers while munching on raw cabbage and hum along to an album of music mostly performed with a sitar and percussion instruments made of inedible fruits.

I can't believe we're having this discussion again...

I thought it was made fairly clear why mindshadow is laughed at the last time we talked about it.

I seem to notice two distinct issues here... people who listen (to mindshadow) and still pay attention to him instead of just ignoring him till the problem goes away - a solution that may not be viable for the trouble he sees, but it tends to work very well on a smaller scale, like on forums... aaaaand people who don't listen, that is to say, possibly the core of the issues he brings up, and somewhat ironically, mindshadow himself, who clearly didn't get the message (or got it, and proceeded to ignore it) the first time.

Which once again shows what I keep saying: people suck.

Nah man, people are cool. I like most people. I don't think anyone is being stupid or ignorant or mean about this issue. People are just making conversation and talking to each other about strange things. Mindshadow's mind, for example

I see I've probably missed a lot since I've been away.

Well you missed something....who knows the level of importance really...
