A Voice In The Dark

I am more or less a metalhead mixed with a nerd. I love to read, and to listen to my music, and text. I play tennis, though I'm far from good. I read, I write, I breathe. I reblog what I wish and post what I wish.

“Brave Sir Robin ran away… bravely ran away away…When danger reared its ugly head, he bravely turned his tail and fled. Yes, brave Sir Robin turned about, and valiantly, he chickened out. Bravely taking to his feet, he beat a very brave retreat. A brave retreat by brave Sir Robin.”

Last night… So amazing

I got a shirt signed by every member of Kamelot, met Chris Bowes and had a conversation with him while he was too wasted to walk, and saw the prettiest girl alive (Simone Simons) sing.

That’s not even counting how amazing the show was.

Kamelot and Blackguard had perfect sets.

Alestorm had some mic problems but it all worked out ‘cause everyone knew all the words to their songs. (And they played my request! :D)

Even the opening local group kicked ass.

Everyone had perfect setlists.

I am very, very happy.

1984 by George Orwell

In the future of the past, the citizens of the world live under constant warfare and extreme government surveillance/control. Winston thinks this is bogus. He hates Big Brother (aka the government) and all he wants to do is bone a hot babe. “You want a hot babe? We’ll GIVE you a hot babe,” the government says. But instead of hot babes, they give him rats to the face.

Winston learns to love Big Brother.
