I love the Powerglove. It's so bad.

Yes, that's right ladies and gentlemen. Following in the footsteps of my peers across the world, I have now returned to the world of frivolous blogging. It should be noted that in this edition of Napalm Waltz, you will find no gossip or sad songs about break ups - so you should probably turn back now, for the drama will be quite lacking.

HOWEVER; if you enjoy adventures into the perilous wilderness that is the realm of eternal awesome, surely you have come here for a good reason - and I will NOT disappoint. After all, with school starting up again, and the tag team of David S. Hooker and Nicholas C. Pendergast back in full swing, the world is surely an oyster waiting to be presented with our unending intrigue. Yes, that's right, new and exciting classes with new and exciting classmates - but let's face it, most of them will probably be lame and entertaining if anything.

Speaking of adventures; did Ridiculous Nicholas and I happen upon TestAmenT's old practice space in Oakland this last weekend? Oh yes, we surely did.

The building is merely a large warehouse on the West End of Oakland. Of course, most of Oakland is really an unhappy place where shootings are as common as peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, and so we were quick to find our way to the place without much hassle from the locals. This place really seemed like a freaking towering fortress ideal for the neighborhood, with several skate thrashers and punkers loitering around the premises smoking cigarettes. The building required a pass code to get through a large ten foot steel loading bay, which led down a hallway to a lift elevator that rose up into the practice rooms. Their room in particular was on the second floor, about ten feet from a studio where some punk band was recording. It was very exciting to be right there where so many important songs were written and recorded. I hope that TestAmenT comes around again soon. Fuck, August seems like so long ago now. In the eternal words of Paul Bostaph: "Does it look like I have a shoulder problem?"

It is now 4:56 AM, and though I wish I could contribute more, I have spent way too much time on the Internet. IE: all fucking night. It's quite sad, considering I have the second book of A Song of Ice and Fire that I should be reading, and two papers I need done for my Newswriting class on Monday. Time to say goodbye?

Not just yet!
