I've this project that I have to do, due tomorrow and I just started it of course. Not in the mood to write, though it'll only take me 30 min. If I don't do it I'll fail English, bla bla bla.
So, give me something to do or listen to, because I don't wanna write about myself ;__;

Iced Earth-Ghost of Freedom
Judas Priest-Judas Rising
Those require immediate listening. @_@
-
Sounds metal-y. Which is cool, but I'm in a major acoustic mood tonight.
*Goes to youtube*
Edit: Okay. Love the first song.
-
Avoid the second song. Its pure, raging metal. <_< First song is one of the few quiet Iced Earth songs, and my favorite one of theirs.
-
Thanks for the heads up. I've been verging on a headache and I just wanted less... Holy-shit-hear-my-guitar NAO music.
-
Yeah. Judas rising is one of the most epic songs made though. When you get out of a headache, take a listen. <_< It has a falsetto power metal scream, heavy drumming and insane riff opening. Thats just the opening.
More quiet songs:
Iced earth-Dracula (Turns heavy metal literally on the half way make, first half is very light.)
REM-Losing My Religion
Radiohead- Fake Plastic Trees (<3)
Megadeth-A tout Le Monde
-
<3 the REM song. I've the Megadeth song, may pass on the Iced Earth for now, and I'll check out the other
-
Fake plastic trees is the epitome of quiet music, really. Really good song. And no, its not REALLY about trees. XD
-
Aww.. I was totally looking forward to a plastic Christmas tree song to sing along at Easter and stuff.
-
I meant symbolically . The lyrics, song and everything is about plastic trees, but its not really about trees. Their songs have multiple meanings. I'm trying to figure out what Plastic trees is really about, but I can't figure it out for the life of me. XD
-
XD Awesome! Maybe it's really about little plastic people or something. A little plastic world of plastic trees and people @_@ Insane.
-
Awesome. @_@ Its an early warning to the apocalypse. We'll all turn into tiny little green plastic trees.
-
I'm not sure what's worse. Exploding, or turning into plastic evergreens... Maybe if I was one of those sexy trees and had lights on and all that it'd be fun.
-
I'd wait until all the expensive lights and decorations were on me, then tip over. Or try and eat the little children. Or just hop my way to the bedside of the person in the house, then just stare at them.
<_<
-
softer music?
<_<
Thats something I havent heard in a looooong time.
As of late I have been really annoyed/mad/upset about one thing after another. The more I am like that, the louder the music I listen to.
>_>
that and I also got into Rage against the machine a while ago...

Child eating christmas tree! Man, you'd own the holidays.
Zeep, I went through my louder-the-better music stage. I've so much metal it's crazy. But my new years resolution was to be un-emo (Big thing for me, I get depressed fast and easy. Like a depression whore if you want to call it). Also I'm still a sucker for a good guitar >_>
-
A fellow depression whore? <_< Whoa. My mood goes up and down like the knickers of an indecisive whore. Its insane. One day I'll be fine, the next day I'll never wanna talk to anyone. I blame Bush. And h4xing. Except I've done the opposite as you Loren. Sort of. For me, Loud screaming metal makes me happy. Sad songs make me sad. I'm on a heavy/power metal crave right now. I'll probably grow out of it though. While Iced earth, Maiden and Megadeth are awesome, Radiohead, Jet and Muse are more awesome.

<_<
I mostly listen to my music at work...and lately work has been pissing me off because of the other managers being dumb as fuck.
SO...i kinda shut myself off from the outside world with loud music while I can.
I mean seriously...How the hell can you FORGET to put schedule the other two stockers, ON A GOD DAMN TRUCK LOAD DAY!?
I mean yeah it was only 10 pallets that came in that day, but still! I was SUPPOSE to finish up with my training that day! Now I have to SOMEHOW find another day that works out, BEFORE the 7th...
BAH!
<_<
Loud music helps me get over my anger without killing something or someone at work.
I mean seriously. The forklift could do some damage to people, and I know how to use it pretty damn good so...
-
;_;
I wish I could do that on GH3...
<_<
But I cant even work the 5th button right, let alone do hyperspeed 100%...
;_;
I fail at that game...

My music changes so often.. I had a soundtrack phase. Death metal. Classic rock. Heavy rock that wasn't considered metal. etc. Now I'm trying Mainstream. I was always "Woah. Ew. Mainstream is just what the gov wants you to listen to it. SHUUN THE SHIT! SHUN IT" But now I wanna see what I've been shunning for so long.

Awesome <3 I love that song, and I love watching videos on youtube with GH stuff. It's like, I get hooked @__@
Also, Zeep, what kind of job do you have?
-
I work at...
<_<
>_>
shhh, dont tell anyone, cause the company looks down about talking about the job!!!
<_<
Petsmart...
Seriously though, they gave out some letter with the pay check a few months ago. Saying we cant talk about the job online. No forums, no blogs, and not on myspace.
it was actully kinda funny reading the thing...
I use to be a stocker, then they made me lead stocker.
Then I got another bump up, now I'm at support manager...
On the 7th I go to training for 2 full weeks somewhere else. From there, they may promote me to products manager...
-
Petsmart? Oooh, do they have one of those people-size hamster things where you can go inside and roll around? >_> <_< I always wanted to do that.
Lawls. Why would they not want you do talk about it? Isn't it better for business?
-
Wait your back in school already?
-
if your talking about it, most likely your giving away trade secrets or talking about an employee...
<_<
I believe that is their reasoning behind it.
OH! By the way, if you REALLY want to piss off a manager at petsmart, here is what you do.
Buy 20 cans of canned catfood thats on sale with petperks. After that, return it all the next day, say it was someone in your family who bought it, and it was the wrong brand. If they ask if you will buy more cans, say no.
Then you go, and buy 20 more cans...then return those as well..
it hurts them in average ticket, and also hurts them in sales.
They aim for about 30 for average ticket, and 20 cans of cat food wont ammount to that. On top of it, returns with no exchange, just flat out money back, also hurts the average ticket. So that means average ticket is taking a double blow.
Now as far as how this hurts sales? Petsmart buys the cans for more money then we sell them for. The company kind of hopes that people buy other stuff with the cans, such as litter. Otherwise we lose money with every can we sell. That is why when they go on sale, its only for a few cents.
If you do this enough, and if it hurts them enough, it will make them miss plan in average ticket and in total sales for the week.
<_<
The great thing about that? The more they miss plan, the less of a bonus the managers make. Hence, you will be pissing off the managers.
>_>
-
Awesome.
I live by a Petco though.
-
I'm sure they are the same way with cans.
As far as if they have an average ticket, and bonuses...i'm not sure...
<_<
But if they want to stay with us, they will have cans as cheap as us...and they buy them for the same price as well so...
it will hurt their sales for sure.
-
Something tells me you have something against one of your managers...
-
;_;
I wish I could do that on GH3...
<_<
But I cant even work the 5th button right, let alone do hyperspeed 100%...

I have the game for the Wii and I'm still working on the 4th button V_V

5th button? Pfft. I stopped having trouble with it after trying to work the foot pedal of the Drums in Rock Band of Expert. That is the most ridiculous shit I have ever seen.

one of my friends is liek teh 1337 m4573r of teh drums on rock band. its awesome watching him play @__@
-
I dont have anything against any of my managers...
its just the normal like and dislike that people have for each other...
<_<
I like all my managers, its just they piss me off from time to time, which is normal.
Such as my store manager. He is cool and all, but recently hes been spending as little time at work as possible, because of another manager. He also forgot to have the other two stocker work yesterday, which was load day...
Our assistant manager, also known as our Ops manager...well...I like her too. Its just hes having a rough time lately, and takes it out on other people a lot. As in, she can act bitchy. She doesn't get along with our store manager, and so he has decided to transfer her. This does nothing but cause more friction. She is the reason why hes spending little time at work, and he is the reason why she is acting bitchy lately.
Our pet care manager is awesome, I love her. However, shes also thinking of leaving the store, which i dont really like the idea of. Shes cool and lightens the day a bit. Shes more of an associate then a manager in my eyes. However that also means she kind of ignores her manager duties from time to time, puts more work on other peoples shoulders then they should have at the time, and complicates things at times...
Then there is our stocking manager. I love her as well, shes an all around awesome person. Problem is, shes like best friends with our assistant manager. So she kind of has a thing against our store manager at the time, and is also kind of acting a bit bitchy. She is also tending to slack off here and there and not take work as serious when shes around the assistant manager. I get the feeling its more along the lines of shes about to lose one of her friends at work, and she just wants to have some good times with her first.
The thing is, monday, when we were busy and I was the only damn stocker during load day...our forklift died in the morning. That was due to me and the assistant manager. I forgot to tell her to charge it in, and then she forgot to check it before she left the night before. Then I told them I was going to take my lunch at 2:30. I got called up for backup cashier at about 2, and it got REALLY busy. So at about 2:25 I called for backup...twice...We had our assistant manager, stocking manager, and petcare manager all in the back room goofing off, ignoring my calls for backup. Meanwhile the line is getting longer and longer. Finally our petcare manager calls one of our workers in petcare, who was helping people at the time, and tells her to go do backup.
<_<
I didn't get to my lunch till 3...and they were still goofing off when I went to clock out for lunch.
So like I said, I dont have anything against them...just a little frusterated with them at the time...thats all.
-
I want to try rock band...but I have no one to play with so...bleh!
<_<
And I admit, the 4th button still gives me trouble from time to time. Going from blue to red right away REALLY messes me up a lot.
-
I still have a little trouble with the 5th. My only issues with Expert are the trip notes. I can do two at once fine, but I mess up on threes.
-
i can play like 5 songs on medium really well. but i cant make it passed 10% on all the other ones for some reason.
-
Really? I leapt head first into Medium with Hier Kommt Alex. Took me a few tries to get through, but made the simpler stuff easier. Took me longer to adapt to the 5th key till my friend dropped some advice on finger placement.
-
my pinky wont work with my middle finger for some reason, so when one moves the other twitches, moves in the wrong area, is extremely slow or doesnt move at all. thats only when i'm playing GHIII for some reason.
-
I don't have any trouble with the 5th key. I can almost beat GHIII on hard(DAMN YOU NUMBER OF THE BEAST!) and can play quite a few songs on expert with little trouble.
-
I've been to Petsmart, and Petco. What a miserable place that was. The "Grooming center" is a two way mirror. Its a mirror on our end, but they can watch you. I got to look in there once.. Jesus. Dogs were in harnasses, hanging from the ceiling getting shaved and crap. Whole place smelt like piss too. Parrots were practically hanging themselves, lizards were trying to crawl into their heating lamps to die. It was really really strange. I could never work there. <_<

Iv seen hamsters in our care hang onto the running wheel as another runs on it...
<_<
It comes close to getting its head stuck in the wheel.
I have also seen chinchillas lose it, and just keep jumping in the same corner for 5 minutes.
Our birds now have the clap...
>_>
We have also had a turtle try to kill itself...
-
Swear to God one of the parrots said, "I wanna bang Jess.". I stopped and looked at it, it said it again. Walked down the hamster isle and there was some blonde named Jess working there. Nearly crapped myself in laughter.
Seriously though the place is Hell for animals. You ever see those giant hamster mazes with the tubes and shit? Those animals aren't as intelligent as they look. God, I saw one lost in there once. It climbed up a ladder and crawled to a crossroad. Had no idea where the hell it was. Then a worker showed up. They friggin check those things every hour to see if a hamster gets lost.
-
I wish we had a giant maze for them...
>_>
It would be fun...

a guy worker probably taught it that XD

No, I think it was a hamster that taught it that.

E.G.G where did you get that quote from me? It sounds like something I would say but I don't recall saying it...

Loren, you're looking for mainstream music?
Muse, Porcupine Tree, Jack's Mannequin, blink-182/Box Car Racer, Coheed and Cambria

Return to your off-topic ramblings.

Return to your off-topic ramblings.
Muse is mainstream? Damns. <3 them though. Coheed and Cambria are alright, <3 the one song Welcome Home. Blink 182 never caught me for some reason. Sorta like the RHCP, I **hate** them for no reason. I'll check out the rest though ^_^
-
RHCP is full of lose and fail. I hate those guys.
Check out Supermassive blackhole for Muse, Loren. Awesome song.
-
Love that song. ^__^
RHCP reminds me of.. like.. U2 or something, and I'm not all that into U2 but they're alright. RHCP got way to big, way to fast, with their way to crappy music to be listening to on the radio. Just hearing their name sorta upsets me >_>
-
Yeah, they aren't good at all. U2 sucks cause there are so many better brit rock bands. Muse, Radiohead, Iron Maiden, etc. U2 is terrible. <_<
Another Muse song for you, but I think you've heard it. Ever hear Hysteria?
-
Yup. You know, I think I was the one who introduced you to Muse I've about 15 of their songs. I need moar.
U2 is okay... MUCH better then RHCP, but that isn't saying much.
-
I thought that was the one you showed me. Still its so awesome it deserved mention again. XD Love that song.
Yeah. RHCP is really bad. And for some reason I ALWAYS mix them up with Black eyed peas. x_o
-
O___o?! Black Eye Peas? </3 them
btw, I'll get your PM, in the middle of 3 MAJORLY IMPORTANT projects, due tomorrow, starting now >_> <_<
