I've noticed that my pageviews have quite recently crept over 90,000 (which is still kind of hard for me to believe - that's really is a lot

). I have never held a kiriban before but upcoming 100,000 is such a huge number that I thought that I'd make an exception. So, if you look at my page one day and notice that you happen to be the 100,000th visitor, take a screenshot of it and send it to me via note - I'll think of

Better Late Than Never.As all of you have heard, on November 1, 2012, Mitch Lucker of Suicide Silence passed away at 6:17 AM after being in a motorcycle accident. I would like to send out my condolences to Jolie and Kenadee (Mitch's wife and daughter), as well as the remaining members of Suicide Slience.
I would also like to thank the following bands for dedicating their shows, or a song, to Mitch, since it meant a lot to the fans, as well as his family, etc.:

Sleeping with Sirens (gave a shout out to Mitch and his family, friends, band, and fans.)

Pierce the Veil (dedicated "Hold On Till May" to Mitch.)

Falling in Reverse (dedicated the show to Mitch, and had a "RIP" video air before they performed.)

blessthefall (dedicated a show to Mitch.)
Note: These are the only ones I have heard of as of right now; I've seen three of the dedications, as I was there for Sleeping with Sirens/Pierce the Veil, and Falling in Reverse. Beau Bokan sent a message via his t

I Just Want To Say... [Edit]R.I.P Mitch Lucker. We'll miss you. You were an amazing person, and an inspiration to so many. Suicide Silence will never be the same without you.

So. Hustlers.I got put on tweet limit this morning for ranting about All Time Low, and the right to express your own opinion. Why? Because Alex Gaskarth, the lead singer of All Time Low, tweeted an opinion he had on a One Direction song. And because One Direction fans are obnoxiously rude, they decided to attack Alex, All Time Low, the songs, and the Hustlers, just because Alex is the lead singer of a famous band, who just happened to have a negative opinion about a song produced by a manufactured group.
And you know what they did? Some girl tweeted him to kill himself. Another made an 'I Hate Alex Gaskarth' account. Directioners started tweeting about his brother, making comments about suicide. Okay, how fucking disrespectful do you need to be, to bring up something like that? Honestly, why would you bring up something like that? And especially tweet it to him, and all of his fans?
You guys, I know that at least half of you that watch me are Hustlers. Would you agree that we are not just a

SERIOUS BUSINESS!HEY!

Where My Headspace Is At Right NowI've been FLAT OUT! I have prelims soon, and then i shall have some time off to get my head back around everything and get back to work!
ok, so where i am at right now:
TTIATT and The Swarm are both still kaput as i now have neither of my computers.
I'm taking "The Shed", "Flame Trees", "Cafe Basics" and "Hockey" and turning them into a timeline based story called "The Six Saga" based mostly around You Me At Six
I'm also now working on a project for :iconblessmeatsix: called "Vic, Kellin and Austin's Prom Night"... which you can sorta get the point of.
I shall be getting a new camera soon (considering my other one is run by a 20 cent coin and sticky tape), defienetly before Soundwave 2013, so i can do some band photography while i'm there. i'm even thinking of applying for a photo pass so i can get past the barriers and take pictures for a magazine/start a photography page. Either way, i'll be doing some more photography, and hopefully with some subjects (little sister, dad and brother

Raaaant.Josh Franceschi, why must you continually show your hate for me?
I FUCKING HATE PEOPLE WHO FANGIRL OVER HIM. Like... I had a legitimate question to ask him, like, a serious one, but it got lost in the loads of pointless tweets people kept sending him. Josh, don't you ever do a fucking Q+A again or I will rip my eyeballs out and throw them at you.
People kept asking questions like, "Will you name my cactus?" And I had a question, one about him that actually focused around music. It was a serious question, and you guys know for me, that's kind of a big deal since I don't take much seriously. But people were so focused on asking stupid, pointless questions just for a reply/retweet that they totally spammed everything up. And I've tried to ask the question before, when I saw that he was logged in, and I never got an answer, which is fine. But I didn't think that if he let people ask questions, they'd so desperately seek attention from him. I gave up after a while, but even though the Q+A i

Catzilerella is the biggest Pony in all of Equestria, who sometimes terrorizes ponyville in her sleep, earning herself the nickname of "Godzilla Pony" Since she is bigger than most of the buildings around, and most everypony finds her intimidating, wild and scary she has kept herself to the Everfree forest where she spends most of her time hanging out with Zecora and the other outcasts of Equestria. She loves listening to music, adores cute fashions, loves bows in her hair, thinks its fun to wear mismatched stockings, and likes dancing like dinosaurs.
