3 Hour Chills

[Mood:] Recovering
[Music:] “We Are The Involuntary” by Underøath
[Novel:] The Dialogues of Plato by Plato

This morning I went to meet up my group for English around 11 AM. We had to break down this passage that was so philosophical, it just..confused me a whole lot but it’s a good thing the group & I picked apart the passage so we could actually understand what was going on. We didn’t get sidetracked or anything..alright take that back, we had a 5 minute break. We came up with fun things to do when we’d present our passage to the class.

After when I got home, I started burning up & I had the biggest headache. I wrapped myself with a blanket because I felt so cold. My mom told me it was hot & she told me that I had the flu. I went downstairs to take two pills of Tylenol & slept it off. What the heck at my 3 hour flu?!?! I guess my immune system fought it off because I feel a lot better now.

New affiliate: Katrina. For some reason, it seems like a bunch of affiliates are just dying. I think I’ve lost 3 already.

So I’ve decided to post up that book I was writing. I’ve written two chapters so far but the third chapter will come easily. I have it all planned out but it might take a while for me to actually get there since I’m so busy with things these days. The story is called Undeniable. I don’t expect anyone to read it or anything. It’s like an actual book so duh, expect it to be long. There’s one entry in which it is particularly long because the character does go off on a rant, but you can’t blame her. You would too if something like that happened to you. I only put up Chapter 1. It’s kind of a tester for now. If I get any feedback/constructive criticism, that’ll be great. I’m hoping to cut down on the rant because it is a long read. It gets tiring after awhile & I don’t want that! [Yeah uh don't read it for now, it's up there but I need to change the really long entry. I need to chop it up. It's poorly written.] Anything & everything is subject to change.

Music Review

I’ve always been a fan of underOATH for some time now. I knew about them before they exploded within the “underground” music scene, kind of like how I knew about Metro Station before they got all over MTV. Every one of their shows these days are totally booked unless you buy tickets way ahead of time. They’re amazing performers & I’ve seen them play twice. I think the song that got me hooked to them was “When The Sun Sleeps” off their album, The Changing of Times. This was back when they had a different lead singer & Spencer Chamberlain was not apart of the band. Their new album with Spencer, They’re Only Chasing Safety was actually a big hit. I fell in love with it. I’d have to say that they did kind of go a little soft compared to their older material. I didn’t mind though because I really enjoyed the electronic aspects of it. Then they released Define The Great Line which was seriously amazing. I noticed that Define The Great Line was a lot heavier than their previous album which was a good thing since it meant they were going back to their roots. Now, the much anticipated album, Lost In The Sound of Separation, was released & there have been several people who have made comments that the album got a lot heavier. These comments proved true; underOATH has taken another step toward their older roots before Spencer, toward the more “hardcore” aspect, if you will. Either way, I love it. The album is nonetheless fantastic. Less keyboard & more rock. That sounds so lame, but seriously, I love their refined sound. I loved the new sound they went for on their They’re Only Chasing Safety album, it really was wonderfully executed, but I’m ultimately a sucker for their heavier songs. Their new album is just that. If you’re a fan of hardcore, go for it. If not, stick to Metro Station or Jonas Brothers (Which is not rock but pop, no offense. Guitars don’t mean ish). Let’s not confuse hardcore with Brutal. Brutal/Metalcore/Deathcore is not music. The new album by underOATH is nothing short of amazing. They really never cease to disappoint me. They always deliver & this new album really delivers. I think they’ve tried to find their sound & experimented a lot..but this new album is definitely the direction they should be headed in, without a doubt.
