I Have No Ideas

I think most of the people reading this already know who I am, and if you don't-- shame on you. I'm not quite sure how to get things started, on this blog. Hm... I know! I stole this one from Bryan, but I don't think he will mind (at least I hope not). How much does a polar bear weigh? Wait for it-- enough to break the ice! See what I did there? Bazinga!

I think I know what I can do. (I do apologize for the stream of consciousness style of my writing; that is just how I write). How about I talk about an awesome band I recently discovered? Everyone likes music.

Since I have become friends with Kristen, my musical tastes have changed, in my attempt to try things she likes. Not that I am pretending to like things; I just tried things I normally would not have given a chance. One of the greatest things to come from this is my love of Asking Alexandria (no, this isn't about them). Because of that, I follow Danny Worsnop on twitter (@DannyAFuckingA). On Friday he tweeted well... this:


This is the newest music video from a band called I Am Abomination. I tracked down their entire, newest album, 'To Our Forfathers'. This is a very impromptu review, so please forgive the 'abomination' that is to follow.

This song, 'Since 1776', is about the hypocrisy in the United States government. I don't COMPLETELY agree with the song's premise, but it certainly hold some valid notions. The song's statement is essentially this: the United States' government was created for the purpose of preserving its people, but this has reversed, now the people exist to preserve the government.

But I'm not here to talk about politics (even if I agree). I'm not really a critical person when it comes to music; I either like it or I don't. In short: this song and this band are amazing! Check out more of their stuff.

This entire post was written on a whim. I promise that whatever I write out in the future will be long and more well thought-out.

Until Next time!

  1. I like the sound of this band. Most bands follow a formula of just saying ANYTHING. I can admire a band that says SOMETHING. By the clarity of the vocals, I can tell that they're confident in the message and they believe in what they're singing about.

    And I agree with your views on the people preserving the government, no arguments here, friend!

    Most excellent post, and the polar bear comment is to funny to not repeat - no harm done!

  2. Thank you. Thank you very much.

    It is a real shame that your one comment puts my whole post to shame. I guess I will make up for it by writing something more well thought-out, tomorrow.
