Twisted Christmas

If you like your ambient sound for the holidays wild and 'twisted', you might want to get your hands on this Christmas album from the US heavy metal group Twisted Sister.

'A Twisted Christmas' was released on October 2006, and it features classic Christmas songs performed in heavy metal versions. Well what can you expect. Although arrangements for all of the songs are typically, well, heavy, listeners would not help but appreciate the faithfulness of the vocal approach and melody to the original versions. All this peppered with TS's no-nonsense approach to metal created a whole new way to enjoy your favorite Holiday tunes.

Tracks included are the following Yuletide classics:

1. Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas
2. Oh Come All Ye Faithful
3. White Christmas
4. I'll Be Home for Christmas
5. Silver Bells
6. I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus
7. Let It Snow
8. Deck the Halls
9. The Christmas Song (Chestnuts Roasting on an Open Fire)
10. Heavy Metal Christmas (The Twelve Days of Christmas)
11. Bonus Track: We Wish You a Twisted Christmas (parody/remake of We Wish You a Merry Christmas)

Albeit all tracks are full of fun, I personally enjoyed the most tracks numbers 1, 2, 8, and 9 (actually my favorite Christmas song). This would be a great present for all your head-banging friends and loved ones out there.

Conversations (A Repost)

I coined up and posted this one some two years back and I still find myself smiling silly when reading this. So in tribute to my idle mind, I am reposting this magnificent piece of rubbish with a hastily made illustration. In short, a cheap blog filler. Bwahahaha.


Anu kaya kung makasalubong ko sa kanto namin si Obi Wan 'Ben' Kenobi..



L: Nice to meet you Sir Jedi Master Ben. Well.. may the Force be with you.

O: The Force will be with you, always.

L: What's with this Force anyway..

O: The Force is what gives a Jedi his power. It's an energy field created by all living things. It surrounds us and penetrates us. It binds the galaxy together.

L: Wow. Can I be so lucky enough to utilize this Force, too?

O: In my experience, there's no such thing as luck.

L: (Amps. Antipatiko to a)

O: That's your uncle talking.

L: I'm sorry. (How the hell?) Anyway, I understand you had been well traveled all throughout the galaxy, do you have any favorite spot which you would like to visit again?

O: Mos Eisley spaceport. You will never find a more wretched hive of scum and villainy. We must be cautious.

L: We? Wut.. I mean you don't wanna bring me there, do you? I know you're a great Jedi, but you're aging, how am I suppose to even get out of there alive?!

O: Use the Force, Luke!

L: Luke?! I'm Lon, I'm not Luke.. you gotta be mistaken, mister Jedi Master..

O: (Handing Lonix something)

L: What's this?

O: I have something here for you. Your father wanted you to have this when you were old enough, but your uncle wouldn't allow it. He feared you might follow old Obi-Wan on some damn fool idealistic crusade like your father did. It's your father's lightsaber. This is the weapon of a Jedi Knight. Not as clumsy or as random as a blaster, but an elegant weapon for a more civilized age. For over a thousand generations, the Jedi Knights were the guardians of peace and justice in the Old Republic. Before the dark times, before the Empire.

L: Great. First you called me Luke. Then my father's a Jedi. Now you're giving me a.. flashlight? OK, wise one.. can the Force tell me where my father is, huh?!

O: A young Jedi named Darth Vader, who was a pupil of mine until he turned to evil, helped the Empire hunt down and destroy the Jedi knights. He betrayed and murdered your father.

L: Nampucha?! You're out of your mind old man, I'm outta here.. I've got work tomorrow and it's late. See, the moon's up already..

O: That's no moon. It's a space station.


Amfs. Wag na lang.

One Down; Three To Go. Demmit.

My oh my, never thought I'd fill this page up right before the year ends; so I guess there is an opportunity for everything no matter what. Sure gives me hope. Ahaha.

So what transpired to turn my attention here.. well, I have finished catching up with previous Naruto episodes (praise Thee for YouTube and MSN Groups), and also my academy training (1 of 4) has come to a conclusion. That gives me plenty of Internet spare time.

Now what should I blabber about?

Much has been said and written and blogged about recent events, so I don't want to throw in my take on them whatsoever. It might seem to look like letting out your rant would free your soul of burden, but to me blurting out without being able to do something about it is worse than a sleepless night's headache. That is called Pain.

As mentioned, I am through with the first part of my CCNA training, leaving three more courses to go. My time line for my ultimate goal of world domination (sori, kakabasa ng Naruto at kung anu ano pa..) hit a snag though, since it appears no reputable school is offering the second course this holiday season. I'll just consider it as 'sembreak' but there is really nothing better to do. Now suddenly time is gold for me, how about it as a sign of accumulating wisdom, ahaha.

Alright, alright, I have to admit I am not getting young and I'm beginning to be a quintessential underachiever, so I have to accomplish some things at a pace faster than that of a preening teener. But I'm not yet in a haste, no matter how those 'boot camps' sound really good with the promise of passing the cert exam by completing all four courses in five days time. It's not too late for me, I believe. As mentioned above, there is an opportunity for everything no matter what.

I believe Mr. A. Rose when he says 'all you need is just a little patience.' I guess I've just made my age obvious.

Happy holidays everyone!
