Hey guys, what's up? I hope you're all doing great.

Sorry for (once again) neglecting this site for quite awhile, even since I started 11th grade I've been pretty swamped. It is my second last year of school afterall.

Anyway, I've been making a few MVs that I've yet to share on this site and thought I would post them just for the hell of it. They are as follows

American Dragon: Jake Long - Gifts And Curses (Yellowcard) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r_MgL0wOLxA

Danny Phantom - In Memory (Shinedown) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CYvN1lqMGNA

Danny Phantom - Your Guardian Angel (The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-5sMsNyRNXg

American Dragon: Jake Long - The Kill (30 Seconds To Mars) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b0peELQ3RY0

So yeah, I'd appreciate it if you guys checked them out. These are the other MVs I'm working on but am yet to post.

DP - Running From Me (Trust Company), DP - Our Darkest Days (Eighteen Visions), AD:JL - Lost In The Crowd (Shinedown), AD:JL - Hearts Burst Into Fire (Bullet For My Valentine), AD:JL - Reverse Soundtrack (Something For Kate).

Anyway, talk to you guys later! :D

(Long Overdue) Update

Well, I was just surfing the net a couple of days ago and thought I might stop by her, for the first time in... God only knows how long.

So uh, what's up with me? Well, I got ticks to a Linkin Park concert in Sydney on the 20th, which is only 7 or 8 days away now... Woot! I also just got back from a trip through the U.S. and Canada a week and a half ago. That was awesome! We went through most of NYC, and up through Montreal, Quebec, Ottawa and Toronto in Canada. My favourite part was probably Niagra Falls.

It was awesome in Canada though two, cause they (of course) had Canadian currency. So I (being the Nickelback nerd that I am XP) I went into a Starbucks and asked someone to hold one of my Canadian nickels so I could come later and ask "Can I have my nickel back?" (ala Mike Kroeger of that same band XD) Yeah, I'm weird... And well aware of it. lol

Anywho, that was fun. Still a bit jet-lagged though after being on the plane for like 27 hours :S But it was definitely worth it.

Hols end for me soon, and I'll be heading back to my final term of Year 10. From there on, I'll be doing my final two high school years (which are both going to be pretty major). So, I'm just going to try and enjoy what time I have left before we all get pretty much swamped. I have my School Certificate Trials second week back and the actual exams 5th week back, and there's a Maths test I'm gonna have to do that I missed while I was on my America trip... But that's life I guess.

So yeah, that's been life for me over the past few days.

I don't know how much I'll be able to be on here so if you ever want to talk, and I'm not being active with my blogs or replying to PMs or whatever, here's some of my contact info.

MSN/main email: luigi_god@hotmail.com

AIM: BiggestNBFan (You'd have better luck catching me on MSN though, seeing as I hardly use my AIM)

Myspace: www.myspace.com/biggestnbfan(You might want to message me and let me know who you are when you add me, because sometimes if I don't know someone I'll just delete or deny their add).

DA Page: http://spyder-m.deviantart.com/

I also spend a lot of time on the American Dragon: Jake Long Proboards and you'll be very likely to catch me there. Here's a link to my profile: http://americandragon.proboards60.com/index.cgi?action=viewprofile

So yeah, hope to hear from you guys more often! I've said this a lot before, but I'm thinking about trying to make a bit of more regular return to this site (or at least keep my blog up to date). I can't really make any promises though, because school and extra curricular activities are constantly keeping me busy, and my parents are limiting my net time to weekends and hols only,but I'll do my best.

ADJL Music Video

Just something I threw together because I was bored.

Credit goes to Something For Kate for the song and American Dragon: Jake Long for the footage (Season 1)

It's not the best, and some of the footage got messed up when I saved it as a movie file, but I hope you like it nonetheless. =D

 [video=Jn07nzOt5bkEuzXW]

I'm thinking of doing a similar one later, it will be better then this one though. Well, that's what I hope. I was gonna use the song "Gifts And Curses" from Yellowcard, but anyway, what did you think?

First To Leave Home

Well, as of tomorrow my older sister Alex will be leaving for University tomorrow.

She got a really good mark on her final exam (99.15 to be more specific) and will be studying Vet Science, which she is really happy about as that is something she's wanted to do for as long as I could remember.

Anyway, once she's gone I'll be the oldest in my family... Um, yay? XD

Albums Of The Year 2007!

Well, now that it's the year 2007 a lot of bands are releasing new albums, a lot of which are personally favs of mine.

2006 was awesome as it Breaking Benjamin's new album "Phobia", Something For Kate's follow up "Desert Lights", Killswitch Engage's "As Daylight Dies", Trust Company's return as Amity Lane with "The Sound Of Regret", Yellowcard's "Lights & Sounds", Staind's Greatest Hits CD... The list goes on and on.

But we're now only 2 months into the new year and already there are 5 different bands I like bringing out new albums.

Story Of The Year, Trapt, Seether, Linkin Park, and above all.... NICKELBACK! XD Also, Good Charlotte are having a new album soon. I'm not a massive GC Fan like a used to be but I dunno... Maybe their newie will recindle my love for them. XD

Okay, I'm officially obsessed.

Ever since my birthday when I got their DVD/CD "Live In The Lou/Bassassins" and their second album "In The Wake Of Determination" I've become obsessed with Story Of The Year.

I've always liked them, but that was only when I had their first album "Page Avenue", now that I've heard their later songs and seen their concerts (which are f*cking awesome btw) they've become my 3rd favourite band (second only to Killswitch Engage and Nickelback)

For those of you who do not know Story Of The Year, here is a pic of them.

They are a punk/rock band from St Louis, who I strongly recommend to anyone who likes music along those types of genree.

You can listen to some of their songs here: http://www.maverick.com/storyoftheyear/site/main-index.html

And here: http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendID=22659677

They're all cool, but my favs out of those songs would have to be "Taste The Poison", "We Don't Care Anymore" and "Until The Day I Die."

Their best songs (in my opinion) are "In The Shadows", "And The Hero Will Drown", "Is This My Fate? He Asked Them" and "Taste The Poison."

They will be bringing out a new album sometime this year which I am psyched about, and I'm definitely going to make sure I grab some tickets if they ever swing by Aus on tour.

They seriously put on the best live shows ever. Here's just a small preview of what their concerts are like:

Straight Back Into It

So yeah, I went back to school recently and started Year 10. It's been pretty cool so far, not as hard as I imagined but I've still been busy. I've also had to cut down on my net time due to some... Let's say, dissapointing results last semester (although, I did really well in the first semester)

Anyway, it's just weird to go from being really layed back to returning to a strict routine. I've also had a lot of trouble getting up in the mornings, seeing as I have trouble getting to sleep at night 0_o

But yeah, just letting you know I've been busy as of late and I'm going to be busy for the whole school term. We've already got quite a few assignments and are beginning work for our School Certificate (which is basically just end of year exams)

I've got a lot of other outside commitments too, such as my sport. I'm playing tennis outside of school in a comp on Monday and Thursday, as well as training on Tuesday. I also play Basketball for my school which is hard because we have to train at 6:45 Thursday morning, and then play a game on Saturday; a lot of which are away games that involve taking along bus trips to schools, 2-3 hours away.

That's just on top of my guitar practice and fanart/fanfiction updates, which are both taking up quite a lot of spare time. I'm also hoping to go for my L's soon, now that I'm 16 XD

So yeah, just letting you know if I'm not on as often that's probably why. If you want, you can always talk to me through PM or email, I don't mind.
