Blogger Evolution

When i mean blogger, i meant the person doing the blogging... aka ME.

Or in the context of this rather unfriendly blog entry, that guy out there who so desperately wants to impress others.


Not unlike me... But i'm less ugly in every way.


There was a point in time when i first started blogging where it meant everything to me to have people reading what i write.


I religiously checked my webcounter to see how many people visited my blog, how many of them liked what i wrote, how many chose to leave a comment.


Then suddenly...


Gone... no more of that desire. Now i don't even bother to correct my webcounter that's been down for months.


I no longer care if anyone reads this anymore. What's important now is that i wrote it.


HOWEVER!


There is this guy out there who so DESPERATELY wants his blog to be read that he publishes his blog address everywhere!!!


I mean... What the hell?!. Everyone who sees it know you're putting it there with the sole purpose of attracting readers.


BUT NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!


You leave it on every single damn website that has a forum which you participate! Like come on!!!


This just says a lot about why you're blogging... You want to be known. You want recognition. You want to be seen as intellectual...


Basically you want to be known as the person who ISN'T the true you...


... and all these is for???


Your insatiable appetite for SEX, that's what!


It may seem appealing to anyone, but we know you and we know what you've been doing and what you've done before. I can even list out exactly what your steps are!


1) Get some girl to read your blog
2) Make her think you're intellectual and a great guy
3) Impress her with your phoney bullshit till she leaves a comment
4) Communicate with her and get her contact
5) Meet her and impress her even if she looks like a giraffe
6) SCREW HER... again and again...


Why?!?! Because you don't have enough money from your waitering job to go to King Cross and pay for fuck... So get a FUCKFRIEND to keep fucking for free.


Ho ho ho!! So it sounds way too ridiculous...


Well if all goes well for you, then very good. Have your fun while it lasts...


But my advice for you?


CAN'T YOU JUST GROW UP?!?!?!

dedicated to some fuckers out there, you know who you are!

My small shrine for X Japan

The story of X and X Japan is a long and complicated one. The introduction that I'm about to give is just to cover roughly the 15 years of X life.


Who are they?

X Japan was one of the most influential Japanese rock bands of all time. If you ask around, chances are most people would say that they are the founder of JRock and Yoshiki, the leader, was the father of visual kei. I dare not say that this is completely true, though I believe it is nearly there ^^ Why? Pardon me if Im wrong, but as far as I know, X was one of the first of very few Rock bands which managed to get mainstream audience and not just went Indies. I remember during their time there was a band called, BOOWY or B'z or Buck Tick *can't remember which, all starts with a 'B'* which was also quite popular. *shrugs* anyone out there knows about it?

Yeah, continuing with my story, X Japan, which original name was just 'X', was founded in 1982. However, it was not until 1986 that the two original founders, Yoshiki and Toshi, managed to get permanent members, hide and Pata and Taiji, and started to be heard more. X's music was highly aggressive according to the standard of the mainstream audience at that time, thus they were having difficult time getting recording deal. Once they did *read Yoshiki's biography for more information* they started to get more and more audience and their songs soon were found on major top charts which usually covered the JPop scene only.

In 1992, X held their first Tokyo Dome concert, Hamettsu ni Mukatte, which is also known as 'On the Verge of Destruction' concert. What's so amazing about this concert is that it is the first ever concert to be held in Tokyo Dome. Before X, Tokyo Dome were never been used as a concert venue, thus X became more famous because of this.

The concert was immediately followed by departure of the band's talented bassist, Taiji *read Taiji biography for more info* in around February. X recruited a new bassist in August 1992, Heath had joined the band. At the same time, X changed its name to X Japan. The reason was because they wanted to go international and break the US market. At that time there was already a band in the US which was also called X, so they changed the name to X Japan to avoid confusion.

X Japan continued to grow and become famous. They managed to capture the mainstream audience with their songs. However, they announced the disbandment of X Japan in 1997. The vocalist, Toshi, left the band in April due to some unknown reason. The band held their last concert, The Last Live in Tokyo Dome, December 1997 and it was a highly sad one. The concert was said to be a replica of the Dahlia Tour in 1995, but I believe that the Dahlia Tour did not have the crying atmosphere as The Last Live had.

X Japan disbandment was planned to be a temporary. Yoshiki wrote X's songs for Toshi's voice. Now that Toshi was gone, he and hide were planning to find a new vocalist and re-form X Japan in the year 2000.

However, a highly shocking incident happened in 1998. hide was found dead, hanging on a towel on a doorknob at his apartment in the morning of 2nd May. Yoshiki's dream of reuniting X Japan was dashed. Not only that, he grieved so much that he cut himself off from the media for one whole year, working behind the scene and did not plan to appear on the front stage again. hide's death brought many fans hysterical, there were some who committed suicide and many who tried unsuccessfully to do so.

X Japan had become a legend. It was like as if they laid the foundation of JRock. They had influenced the JRock world in a way that nobody has ever done. Even though they had disbanded years ago, their music is still alive. Yoshiki is working hard to release more X Japan things; the latest was the rare Art of Life DVD. They continue to attract new fans. As of myself, I was introduced to X Japan in 2002 and fell in love with them immediately.

New news

I will be going home this December, I had ask a permission to Medina manager for having a holiday, she approved it. Yeah! Cant wait no more to meet my dear.

School Project is going to be tough this semester since this is my last chance to get 70 WAM, Me n my group member are doing Blood donation thing. Hopefully no obstacle gonna face us.

November is coming soon, which mean that i still have 1 month and a half to be in Sydney, then i`ll have a good holiday for couple of weeks, though i have to study when i will be in Medan.

Why am i so happy?
My parent wont allow me to go back since the currency of Rupiah to Dollar is so high. they wanted me to work in Medina and get a good money instead of going back. After several persuading, i convinced them that i really want to go back and they miss me so much. I believe that since the Indonesian Government has change their policy in the gambling n stuff which affects my Dad`s job and financial problem. Alll i have to do is to work hard and earn some money and take some Australian Dollar to use it when i will be in Medan.

I feel so bad for my parent, i hope i wont be so demanding and ask for the money for them, I am 21 years old and almost 22 next January. I got to be more independent.
Things between me and my girl friend going well. nothing much to say. She said that she`s going to wait for me till i am graduated.

Anyhow, This blogging thing is useful finally, I never thought that this blogging has nothing to do with Communication study. But what i found is that this semester. Russel our Lecturer is teaching how to blog which is not a new thing for me. Since i have been blogging for about a year.

Why Did i blog at first?
Well, I blog becoz I had a girlfriend that i had been together with for about 3 years. She left me heart broken, and honestly this blogsite is dedicated for her. But now it turn out to be my school project hahahah. Right now me and my ex is doing okay. A very close mate sometime that led to a jealousy to my current girlfriend. But i finally realized that Valencia (Cia2) is a lot better girlfriend that my ex.
I have no regret of losing my ex.

This is the new beginning of my life!
Till December then...
