LordBarrett — Tue, 25 Nov 2008 08:29:30 +0000

Well, my favorite band is starting to record their fourth album. Known throughout Scandinavia and the metal world as one of the most legendary and talented bands in today’s music industry. Although their fame is definitely not so crazy as Hannah Montana, and in fact, they’re pretty underground, they never fail to amuse the metal mags. All of their previous albums, in fact, has never gotten anything worse than 8.5 out of 10 stars, all their work is revered, and of course, for good reason.

Here is the 10 minute epic from their previous latest album, complete with folk melodies and beautiful chanting choirs, this will roxxars your boxxars!

Crazy People

LordBarrett — Fri, 21 Nov 2008 05:59:21 +0000

Well with the new World of Warcraft expansion out, we see the nerdrage rise again! Upon only 12 hours of the game’s release, we already see people like Athene, Nymh, and others get level 80 (the max level that is unlocked by the expansion) already! I left my World of Warcraft days long behind me, but this community is definitely masterful. With people getting rigs and organizing groups just to be the first to glimpse and take in the environment that is Northrend (the expansion’s setting).

Not too long ago, a Swedish boy collapsed after playing 35 hours straight on World of Warcraft, talk about hardcore, the boy had to be taken to a hospital to recover.

This is a game i’ve been really getting into. I’m attempting to gather some friends who play or are interested in playing the game to group with me so we can do all the work and play together. The whole interface, system, graphics, of this game, is just pure exotic euphoria. I recommend you check it out, even if it’s not your thing, or not, but I personally rate this a 10 out of 10.

Tips and Tricks to a day of Harmony

LordBarrett — Fri, 31 Oct 2008 00:40:25 +0000

Most of the people in the world work, they drive their cars around, they have jobs, families, tasks, and amongst all this trouble and confusion, one hardly finds any time to really relax and enjoy a natural order of things. Nobody is concerned about self-worth and self-enlightenment at times, it has gotten down to, “Oh my i’m going to be late for work!”, or perhaps, “Can’t talk, busy!”

It’s a bit of a hassle really, so i’m going to give you a little guide to solving this problem. The First thing you must realize is that working too hard is very unhealthy, if one works too hard, his body will adapt to the harsh condition and demanding task, and in the end this individual will find it very hard to live without working hard. Relaxation and time to absorb peace is necessary for a healthy lifestyle, and thus one should always set aside some time everyday to just sit down on a nice rug or floor, open some windows and bask in the sun. Close your eyes and just breathe, turn everything off and just listen to the serene quietness, this is a very optimistic and uplifting method to keep the body fluid and the mind clear.

If able, one should always take the time to go out and enjoy nature fully, to just sit amongst the trees, enjoying whatever winds blow through and the sound of the rustling leaves. Simple things like this help relieve stress, naturally. Just remember that working too hard can never be healthy, one should always separate leisure and priority, and know that in life, leisure IS priority, and you should always seek self-enlightenment where it is free, and then seek enlightenment where it is not.

The Jonas Brothers - Why So Popular?

LordBarrett — Wed, 29 Oct 2008 22:03:57 +0000

I dislike the Jonas Brothers, many of you will agree, many of you will disagree, that this pop-rock band is the latest trend in music. But why are they so popular? Why are they SO attractive to all these people in the world? Why must this band, out of all the bands, be one of the most critically acclaimed? Yet their songs are simple?

One thing is to study the effects of pop band effects throughout the ages. Many have come through the line, N-Sync, Backstreet Boys, Boyz2Men, why are these amongst many others so popular? Are the Jonas Brothers the next in line in these pop trends? Of course a mainstream act is going to be popular, but why are the Jonas Brothers an obsession to some people.

Their cover of a Beatles song sparked my reaction to their craze, I love the Beatles, but their cover was simply…demeanoring, personally if they had changed a few things it might have been at least favorable to my personal ears.

So what do you guys think of these guys? You know I hate them, but I won’t flame you if you show a liking to them, I will merely have a civilized debate of conversation.
