Can't wait to get my Grey Knights codex!!

I pre-ordered my codex about 2 weeks ago and I can't wait for the 2nd of April, It's gonna be so cool. I bought a custom painted grey knights army a while ago that I want to test out with the new codex so can't wait to get it. I wonder if you can still take guard in it though cause I use to love taking the leman russ in the daemonhunters army?

Clawfinger and Rise Against rock!!

Hey everyone. Now I know that while I have been talking a lot about power metal lately (and I am planning to talk about it a lot more) there are some bands that don't fall in that genre that I really love and they are both in the hardcore punk category(well rise against is melodic hardcore but it's still close) and they are Rise Against and Clawfinger.

Now while I didn't realise this when I first started listening to them they are both political bands(Clawfinger is also anti-racism which is awesome) that are about being positive (I have a theory about why people like certain types of music but I will leave that for another post) and I really love their music and have loved it for years (I was listening to them before I started listening to power metal)

Now Clawfinger lyrics are very intelligent (generally speaking ) and they tend to talk about some pretty useful things like their song called "Confrontation" which is not only really cool but talks about idiots who handle anger in the wrong way and why it's wrong anyways here is one my favourite songs called Out to get me from Clawfinger which is so awesome:


Clawfinger - Out To Get Me by raggalaggaff

Now we come to a band who I listen to even more. I have tons of their tracks and their music has inspired me more than any other band and that is Rise Against. Their music is powerful and positive. The vocals melodic are awesome to listen to. Their vocals are a lot cleaner (which is why their melodic hardcore) and they are the band that started me on the positive metal track and revolutionised my life. I owe their music a lot. Anyways here is there song The Long Forgotten Sons:

Just started learning how to play the guitar again

Hi everyone, Years ago when I was 16 I used to take guitar lessons and I loved it. I only had lessons for 6 months but it was one of the few things in life that would never bore me so I practised like there was no tomorrow but after 6 months my guitar teaches was planning to move so he couldn't teach me any more and even though he gave me the number of another teacher I guess that I was too embarrassed so I sort of gave it up.

It's something that I sorely regret but no point living in the past. Any ways due to re emergence of my love for power metal I have decided that I will begin learning how to play the guitar again and will be trying to do it in the shortest time possible with the intentions of possibly starting a power metal /hardcore punk band cause I love both genres of music well more the power metal but some of my all time favourite bands like Clawfinger and Rise Against are hardcore punk (well rise against is melodic hardcore which I think it a sub genre of hardcore punk anyway).

So to that end I have started practising, I whipped out my old copy of Progressive Guitar Method - Book 1 Deluxe Color Edition and started playing the examples. I am practising lots in the hopes I can do this very quickly. After I finish that book and can play everything in it really well I am planning to get Progressive Guitar Method, Book 2: Intermediate and then finally after I finish that I can move onto the more fun stuff by getting Progressive Heavy Metal Techniques for Lead Guitar and also planning to get How to Play Metal Guitar: The Basics and Beyond (How to Play Series) as it had great reviews.

To that end I have bought an electronic guitar tuner from ebay so that I can get my strings to be in tune (as I used to rely on my guitar teacher to do that). I am still deciding about whether or not I should get a guitar teacher but for now I would just like to do it myself for now.

I also have a keyboard which appears to be used by some bands like Firewind so after I master the guitar my starting learning how to use the keyboard as well.

Oh by the way if any one has any ideas on how to speed up the learning process for my learning it would be appreciated. 

Why your health can affect how you think.

Most people seem to think that there is a separation(at least i am assuming) between physical health and mental health but the two are inextricably linked together more closely than you could imagine. If your a person who is naturally anxious and restless then weight training or martial arts or even boxing could be the best thing for you as they could be an outlet for your anxiety and tire you out so that you don't feel restless and so you can then then think clearly.

Even your diet can affect your mental attitude as eatings lots of junk food and not getting enough vegetables and drinking enough water can because if your body is running of a crappy fuel source and then so is your mind and your certainly not gonna feel positive if you feel rundown all the time now are you?

A decent diet and exercise are essential components to maintaining that positive outlook required to keep on pushing on forward in the game that is called life and going after your dreams. You need to right fuel to cross that bridge so I would keep an eye on what fuel you put into your own stomach.

Metal Is Forever

Hi everyone,

I have just come across another cool power metal band with an awesome vocalist who goes by the name of Primal Fear and this is a song called Metal is Forever and I LOVE IT!!!.

The vocal are awesome and it's got a good solid power metal beat to it which is awesome and the main singer looks tough which is always cool.

Anyways enough from me here it is:

The Stereotypes Song

I just came across this weird video from Ray William Johnson who if you don"t know is like a famous youtube video guy anyway while it isn't really that funny but he definitely put a lot of effort into it so I reckon you should have a look at it:

Ratt Rocks

I love Ratt. I started loving them ever since I played the game brutal legend which is you haven't played it you should cause it's awesome.

Anyways here's a couple of goodies from one of my favourite 80's bands Ratt:

Vanishing Point Rocks in Melbourne!!!

If you haven't heard of Vanishing Point then you were like I was about a week ago until I started looking up power metal bands that I could go see in Melbourne and what do you know I found a couple of beauties by finding this Database of Melbourne Power Metal Bands.

Now one of the bands i really liked was called Vanishing Power and this is their track "Surrender" which is just awesome. I can't wait to see these guys in person.

Fotopic.net has gone down and nobody seems to know what's going on

Hey everyone.

A mate of mine had a site about pictures of cop cars and ambulances hosted on fotopic.net and about a week ago he told me that it had gone down so I had a look and it's seems the whole fotopic.net site is down. I have tried to find out what it happening with it but there is no news and though the site is down I don't know who registered the domain so I wonder if it will go on sale.

Does anyone know anything about what's happening to fotopic.net?

Power Metal and why you should be listening to it?

For those of you who don't know I love power metal. Now if you wondering what power metal is then it is music like this from the band Firewind:

Now power metal  and epic metal is very different from your standard metals now while there are a lot of different types of metal with things like thrash (which is really fast) to heavy metal (stuff from the 70s like ozzy osbourne's band) to a whole other bunch of metals but power metal stands in contrast to these because power metal well pumps you up because it is fast (well the european stuff is) but has a good melody (which in my opinion thrash doesn't).

Now for me personally, the difference is the effect the power metal has on me. I used to listen to bands like linken park, garbage, rammstein, metallica and a whole whose of other bands like that which was mostly in the alternative category(apart from metallica) but i don't really listen to them anymore because i honestly don't feel like it because i have noticed that i only seem to listen to this music when i feel down (which isn't often) but the music you listen to actually shows how your current mental state. In fact i find that apart from power metal and epic metal most modern age music always has a negative connotation behind it and since i hate negative and love to be positive power metal is for me.

Now if you liked the power metal song above from Firewind (A greek power metal band) then you might like some of these two:

Now this is a power ballad but this is one of the most powerful power ballads I have come across and just to show why i love power metal and that's because it's not only positive but can be good for those who have just lost someone close to them:

The next band is Freedom Call and they are pretty cool. I just started listening to them a couple of days and I love their music as it's epic action music. It's so awesome. Check this out:

Now for something a bit heavier but a band close to my heart. They are called Hammerfall and I have been listening to their music for a while and this one is a classic to get you pumped:

Now for a taste of some of the best power metal(well more epic metal) to come out of America. This is definitely a harder sound and vocals but the lyrics are some of the most powerful lyrics and this is definitely the stuff you play when your boxing or training cause it's so cool:

Now there are lots more bands in this genre of music but I think this is good to start of with. By the way if you live in Melbourne like I do then you can check out a local power metal band who are pretty cool called Black Majesty who play awesome tunes like this one:

Since you people have now been educated in the fine art of power metal it is now up to you to spread the word so go my brothers and sisters. GO!!!

Bloody Lonely Island at their best

I recently saw this video clip when I was watching one of the music channels (not MTV) on optus and it is absolutely hilarious, these guys are the guys who also sing the song "I just had sex" but this one is even funnier:

Winter's Verge Are Awesome!!!

I just found out about this band from my friend who seems to know a lot about bands in the genre of music that I have never heard off. This is Power Metal at it's best and they are a cypriate band and it's seems most of the best power metal bands apart from Manowar seem to come from europe. Enjoy this awesome track!

Why the music you listen to can have an effect on your mental state.

Now while I am not going to get into conspiracy theories about this stuff (like some people do and some political parties as well) I myself have found that the music I listen to actually affects the way I look at the world around me.

Remember that music affects us psychologically and the type of music that you listen to can actually affect how you fill and in turn how you perceive the world around you which in turn can make you into a pessimist or an optimist. Now while I like most of these genre's of music myself it's wise to try to stay away from them and substitute them for other types of music:

1. Metal and Heavy Metal (The Satanic stuff which you should substitute with Epic and Power Metal)
2. Gangsta Rap (Substitute with Hip Hop)
3. Alternative (Well not all alternative but just the negative stuff)

Now while I myself occasionally listen to this music I have found that it causes me to feel bad now while this may not be the case for everyone you should be honest with yourself about this and even you may love some of this type of music just remember that if you listen to music that talks about shooting people and taking drugs your probably not going to have a very positive outlook on the world around you now are you.

Not saying to ban the stuff all together but just don't get to into it if you know what I mean.

Do you know what your worth in this world?

The answer to the above question is everything. You are as great or mundane as you choose to be in this world. If you want a better life but don't have one then that's because you haven't done anything to get it. But I am going off on a tangent here so let me return to the main topic.

A lot of people with confidence issues or individuals that are very negative are often like that because they have very little self worth. They don't truly understand what they are worth. True confidence comes from knowing what you are worth in this world and what you have to offer and what everyone should realise is that they are all worth something in this world even the shy ones.

So because of this you should never let anyone make you feel like you don't deserve anything or that you aren't good enough when compared to anyone else. Even if the people around you don't tell you what your worth or even if they put you down you should always remember that you are stronger and better than what everyone else says. I you think like a champion then you will become a champion. It all begins with your mindset. If you think negative you will always have only see the bad things in life and if you think positive you will be able to see the possibilities and it's better to look at what you can do with this world than what you can't.

You are worth whatever you think your worth so if you want to make the people around you see what your worth you first need to make yourself see that your worth something.

Yay, The Grey Knights Codex is almost out!!

For those of you who don't know I love Warhammer 40K. Something about epic heroes standing against the odds is pretty cool and it doesn't get more epic that the Grey Knights(Space Wolves are cool too) and i have been waiting a while for this as they were cool but you a bit underpowered since the new space marines codex came out but now there back and kicking and the codex looks like this:

I bought a grey knights army that was custom painted like last year so I have been waiting for a long time to field test them and now that the new codex is coming i think it's time for my boys to get back in town doing what they do best which is having epic battles with monsters like every knight should.

What to do if you have so much anger at the world and your life.

Hi everyone,

In my recent travels I have come across a lot of people that have hangups about life but this message isn't for those people. This message is for people who currently have so much anger and disdain at the world that they don't know if they won't to be a part of it anymore.

I myself used to be in this particular category because I myself lived like a hermit for such a long period of time due to certain reasons that when i snapped out of what I was going through which was around the age of 24 I felt like my life had flashed before my eyes and that the situation was now hopeless that I had already missed on too much of life to carry on. Now as you can probably tell this feel me with quite a bit of rage which is probably the kind of restrained anger of titanic proportions that's just waiting to explode.

Now there are numerous ways of dealing with this the first is obviously to go get psychological help and/or possibly talk to a friend and if that's the path for you then take it but for some that have so much pride that they would never ask for help I offer you an alternative path.

That anger may always be apart of you but it doesn't mean that you have to let it control you. I say to you focus on remaking you life on whatever you want to be. Learn to channel that anger productively like for example by going to gym and lifting the heaviest weights you lift so you get super strong or take up martial arts (I do both) like karate or kempo so that you learn to channel but also control that anger so can you can direct it properly.

Not only that I want you to do all the things that you have ever wanted to do in your life like if you wanna play rugby then go do it and start training, ever wanted to be a musician, then buy an instrument and start playing. Do the things you want to do in your life and channel that passion into those and if you keep doing this and finding something to enjoy your life you will shed your anger and your whole outlook will change.

Now I am not saying the anger will ever leave you but you can use it instead of letting it lose you. If you want to learn how to control the world around you and shape your life to be whatever you want it to be you must first learn to control yourself.

Remember that if you want to be happy and you do it's better to take positive steps forward than to stay where you are.
