A Great Idea, Anyone Want to Invest?

(9:51:46 AM) Nick: LET'S REBUILD THE COLOSEUM!
(9:51:50 AM) Brektyme: yes!
(9:51:54 AM) Nick: HEY! THERE'S ONE IN LA!
(9:52:40 AM) Brektyme: we can put all Organized Religions to death
(9:52:51 AM) Brektyme: or make them fight it out
(9:52:54 AM) Nick: even Jedi?
(9:53:01 AM) Brektyme: well maybe not the Jedi
(9:53:18 AM) Brektyme: cause it's obvious they'd win
(9:54:10 AM) Brektyme: but the religion that wins is the one true religion and no innocents will be harmed
(9:54:33 AM) Brektyme: then we can put them in a rocketship and send them to colonize Mars
(9:54:51 AM) Brektyme: or whatever other planet we choose
(9:55:18 AM) Nick: I know of an anime where mars was the last place humans had survived, but they couldn't have children so they had little android "dolls" that they treated like kids
(9:55:51 AM) Nick: and the leaders of the planet were hundreds of years old and were worshipped as gods and were from the original colonization expedition
(9:56:15 AM) Brektyme: weird
(9:56:25 AM) Brektyme: so it's like Catholics?
(9:56:34 AM) Brektyme: so the Catholics win eh?
(9:56:39 AM) Brektyme: I had a feeling
(9:56:56 AM) Nick: so you finally admit catholics are not christians?
(9:57:14 AM) Brektyme: all those Cursades and they've fought in the Colloseum
(9:57:17 AM) Brektyme: damnit
(9:57:48 AM) Brektyme: all those Crusades and they've fought in the Colosseum before
(9:58:00 AM) Brektyme: I don't admit anything
(9:59:10 AM) Brektyme: I think if we are going to have a battle royal we should divide them up all the same, All the different sects of every religion will be fighting, not just Christians, or Muslims, or Jews
(9:59:21 AM) Nick: royale
(9:59:38 AM) Brektyme: sorry you knew what I meant
(9:59:48 AM) Nick: I think we should do it Royal Rumble styleQ
(9:59:51 AM) Nick: style!
(9:59:58 AM) Nick: it'll be more fun!
(10:00:12 AM) Brektyme: but out side the ring is giant spikes?
(10:00:20 AM) Nick: sure!
(10:00:36 AM) Nick: except for the ramp the participants use to get to the ring
(10:00:57 AM) Brektyme: now will each religion be picking a champion to represent it?
(10:01:08 AM) Nick: 22
(10:01:14 AM) Brektyme: huh?
(10:01:19 AM) Nick: 22 champions each
(10:01:27 AM) Brektyme: I see
(10:01:46 AM) Nick: LIVE ON PPV!
(10:01:53 AM) Brektyme: can we have lions and stuff let into the ring?
(10:02:09 AM) Brektyme: like instead of a champion a lion comes to the ring?
(10:02:34 AM) Nick: I'll leave that up to you, cause that seems kinda difficult
(10:02:35 AM) Brektyme: but it's random to the fighters don't know if it's going to be a person or a bear
(10:02:56 AM) Nick: you must get a velociraptor though
(10:03:06 AM) Brektyme: totally agree
(10:03:35 AM) Brektyme: and weapons should pop out the ground to "aid" the champions
(10:03:51 AM) Nick: all right but no guns
(10:03:57 AM) Nick: guns make it too easy
(10:04:05 AM) Brektyme: cause the raptors would win hands down
(10:04:50 AM) Nick: we'll give them a couple of naginata
(10:04:54 AM) Brektyme: I'm thinking medieval weapons
(10:04:59 AM) Nick: that should allow them to take down a raptor or two
(10:05:56 AM) Brektyme: how much should we charge to watch this event?
(10:06:06 AM) Nick: 44.95
(10:06:19 AM) Brektyme: really cause it's going to be expensive to put on
(10:06:32 AM) Nick: not in borneo
(10:10:25 AM) Brektyme: I thought we were going to do it in Rome
(10:10:34 AM) Brektyme: cause of the history
(10:11:41 AM) Nick: I dunno if you realize this, but the Coloseum is called a "ruin" because it's in ruins
(10:11:55 AM) Brektyme: but we can fix it
(10:12:09 AM) Brektyme: it's mostly there
(10:12:12 AM) Nick: can we make it better stronger faster? do we have the technology
(10:12:17 AM) Brektyme: yes
(10:12:33 AM) Nick: the six billion dollar stadium!
(10:13:18 AM) Brektyme: yes
(10:13:55 AM) Brektyme: and since most the big three are so close it won't be that big of an issue getting them there

Truely a Sad Event Indeed.

"It is with sadness I announce that Opeth and I are going separate ways after almost 16 years. The decision has been the toughest I've ever made but it is the right one to make at this point in my life.

The reason behind this is that I feel that I simply have lost some of the enthusiasm and inspiration needed to participate in a band that has grown from a few guys playing the music we love to a world-wide industry. The love of music has always been, and still is, our motive, but I personally have lost something along the way. The massive amount of touring has taken its toll. Opeth has worked extremely hard to get where we are right now and in order to persist and maintain the quality of the music, it is necessary that we continue to work hard and always stay focused. But in doing so, it means that we nowadays spend 18 or 19 months on the road and I don't feel the same enthusiasm for the upcoming world tour that I have felt earlier. I have come to a point where I realize I won't be able to give the band 100%, and from both sides this will not be good enough for what Opeth stands for. I will always love playing, listening to, and living music, but I will do it differently from now on.

These years has easily been the best of my life and I will always cherish the memory of what we have experienced together. I would like to thank the band, our management, record label people, all the bands I've made friends with for everything. Most of all, I would like to thank the fans from the depth of my heart for the support throughout the years.

I wish Mikael, Martin, Per and Axe all the best and I am confident they will continue doing the greatest music in the world!! /Peter"

The new guy comes from a good pedigree so we'll see how he fits, but Peter and Mikael were pretty much the heart and soul to Opeth.

Blogging and than a whole mess of crap! (Please feel free to correct my grammar when I say "I really do suck," I mean it)

Well, what can I say? I'm a busy guy, and I find this whole rather pointless, then why do I do it? Honestly I think maybe I thought I'd have something important to say, or maybe it was just to get the picture of me online (I'M A MAGIC CARD). I'm not that neat, smart, witty, insightful, meaningful, or any other number of good qualities. I am on the other hand lazy very lazy, maybe not given the hours I work, but I like to think I am. I can't spell, my grammar is ass, and I have a limited vocabulary. Even with all the books I've read, I don't know if they have made me smarter, wiser, or just more confused. I'm betting on the last one. Well now this sounds like a whiny teenager myspace thing. So, what can I talk about? I'm looking for an idea.

I know Marcus is the only one that reads this which is kind of pathetic cause I'm one of maybe two, or three people that read his. So this is very incestuous, me feeding of him, him feeding off of me.

Maybe this is what we as a people have come to, or maybe we have always been? Feeding off of one another, quickly racing towards the bottom.

But hey as long as I've got a big TV, a nice house, a gas guzzling SUV, a raised truck, the latest cell phone, and can watch my NASCAR (Is that even an acronym?) I'll just turn a blind eye. What do I care? It'll all be better after I'm dead cause I've lead a good life, went to church even though I didn't mean it, supported the Republicans (Not that all Republicans are Christian Fundementalist), I should get into heaven right? It's okay that my clothes were made in Mexico or some other country that isn't America (By children probably), my house built by some illegal asshole Mexican (Totally think there needs to reform, but not by the raciest that run the country now), my house is powered by a coal burning power plant, and my cars only get 8 miles to the gallon, I like it warm outside. I can sit in my house watching my NASCAR (Seriously every race is just turning left, I like the Indy 500 (I know not NASCAR) but that's more because of the long history), in the cool of my air conditioning (Maybe I'm just jealous of this one since I can't run my air very often) , eating my pork rinds (Which I do like really), drinking my beer (I also like beer but only in moderation) getting fat (I've really put on some weight, but at least I'm not cool with it like the rest of the country seems to be). It's all cool that my kids can't read (Cause violence is more important than spending money on schools), hell even I can barely read, I played football (Does it really need repeating?). We have Playstation, and the History Channel to educate us (I also like the History Channel, but I don't learn everything I know from there (If I've learned anything at all)). I'm just a big dumb happy, but not too happy cause those damn Mexicans are stealing my job, middle class (But getting poorer, cause I'm a consumer damn it!), American. And if you don't like it you can just get outta here. Cause I'm about to Gett'r Done.
