Well, hello I suppose! I'm Meta-Kirby, whether you see me around here, around another board, or not at all, maybe you can read this and be entertained, or maybe you will be bored.
But all of those who don't read it are just haters. Be heard, bruh.

Anyways, well, I find myself....happy and sad. I'm happy because my academics are going well, I'm on fall break (out of school) and I'm happy with my life in general.

However, i'm sad. Why, though, should I be sad? Well, it's actually because of Smashboards. Through my own actions...stupid actions, I have to say, I have distanced myself from the people who used to give me the BEST of times. Obviously the person who reads this will know exactly who I'm referring to, but for now, I'll say this: I have never, ever had more fun with this certain person...and yet, I don't know them in real life, and I probably have not left any significant impact on their life beyond being an arrogant dickface. However, I'd like to....no, I don't deserve it. Never mind.
But enough, this person may be reading this, they may not. I don't deserve it, for sure.

I once had aspirations to become a big name on Smashboards, but as of late, I have abandoned them. :/ It's just because....well, my community in the Poke Center board has begun to dwindle. I talked to Zook a couple nights ago when he announced his leave, and I came to the conclusion that....our community has dissolved into a group of kids who'd rather discuss their "favorite Pokemon to use on Shoddy battle" then participate in contests, tournaments, or even appreciate art forms anymore.
Zook, I love ya man, your absence is extremely depressing :'(.

Anyways, here is where I'll start talking about things where people can start relating. I'll just make bulleted points based upon my RANDOM thoughts.

-I love staying up late on Saturdays and watching the Adult Swim anime line-up. Starts with Bleach, then Moribito, Code Geass, Death Note, Cowboy Bebop, FullMetal Alchemist....I find these shows inspring, like I have something to dream about almost. Haha, well, okay maybe not, but still, the things that the Japanese come up with are just spectacular.

-OMG Cheesecake. <3

-People who hate on Diet Soda. WTF? Some of them, SOME of them, taste the exact same (See: Diet Dr. Pepper). Alot of people seem to respond to my drinking of Diet Soda as "well, have fun getting cancer" while they sip on their 200-calorie can of Coke. "Have fun having medics tear down walls of your house to bulldoze you to the hospital when you're morbidly obese". I don't actually drink Diet Soda because of my weight, rather I simply like the taste of Diet Soda more.

And on that same topic, if you drink Sprite Zero/Ginger Ale while thinking about salt, it starts to taste really...REALLY bad.

-Eww, my parents keep talking about college. And then my coaches are talking about college. Truth is, I would MUCH rather go to an IV league school in search of awesome academics than go to a lesser known school for athletics. Reason? When I'm 30-years old, nobody is going to give two ****s about how good of an athlete I was, so I'd rather focus on having a good educational background. V_V

-LOL The Cleaveland Show was kinda funny, kinda not >.> I don't know what to expect yet, but that Family Guy was one of the funniest I've EVER seen.

-Everytime I see a Taco Bell commercial, I get REALLY hungry; however, then I remember that Taco Bell uses Grade D meat (less quality than dog food) and suddenly I'm quite content with my hunger. *_*

-I need good techno moosix D: Ideas?

-I'm so bored, I'm actually lying on the floor with my computer....and the TV is going...and now that commercial about the passed out girl at the party being "puppeted" by her friends is on. LOL if you seriously pass out at a party, you'd think her friends would do something more devious than make her a puppet. Like, srsly.

-Some dogs are really....really ugly. In fact, many animals are ugly. WTF were they thinking when they made Peacocks. "LOL lets make the most flamboyantly arrogant animal in the entire kingdom, then lets give it a pretentious attitude and vibrant colors. Take that, ducks! Mwwaahhaaaa".

-Hey look, its Diglett in my avatar. Whats under there? The world may never know! But really, who cares? I bet Game Freak doesn't even care. V_V

Well, thats about it. Really, this was probably the most boring thing ever. So now its up to YOU to make some interesting conversation.


Peacceee out, I love it here

What kind? I'd like to suggest some.

Anyway, I like the fact that you'd rather focus on academics and education than athletics; knowledge is power!

Also, I myself aspire to become at least a known name on SmashBoards, whether that happens one day is unknown, but as of now, I keep my hopes held high.
It is somewhat sad to hear your point of view on how some parts of SWF were fun before some people left, like Zook.

So the Poke Center has had better times?

Wait, Zook is leaving!? :(

Cheescake. :embarrass

I don't actually like soda at all, but I think you're on the right track with diet soda.

Animals are ugly? Peacocks? What do you have against peacocks? :lick:

School.

-I need good techno moosix D: Ideas?
Yesz! I can help.
First, my post whenever this pops up to get people educated about it.

The distinctive styles in a nut shell:

Jungle = rolling breaks like the Amen
Hardstep = pretty much everything that came out of True Playaz (DJ Zinc, Dope Skillz, Pascal, Hype) during the early to mid-nineties
Liquid funk = calmer moods and ambient samples, often with big basslines
Intelligent dnb = very calm, ambient drum and bass; easy listening
Neurofunk = heavy breaks, cold atmosphere and synth stabs
Techstep = Influenced by techno, it's another cold style pioneered by Ed Ruch & Optical and Trace
Darkstep = Long, ominous ambient pads that lead to violent, erratic breakbeats like the Amen. Check out 'Timeline' Evol Intent
Breakcore = it's sort of a genre in its own right, the breakbeats are very fast and complex.

Clownstep styles:
Jazzstep = jazz with an 175bpm breakbeat. Double bass samples are usually used. Check out 'Tough At The Top' by E-Z Rollers
Sambass = 'Brazilian dnb'; Latin-American influenced
Trancestep = I have nooooo idea. From what i've heard, it's eurotrash, dnb and trance rolled into one
Raggacore = somewhere between ragga jungle and breakcore
Darkcore = similar to darkstep but with more horror movie samples
Techno dnb = jungle with an 808 drum machine. Check out 'Vessel' by Universal Project
Ragga jungle = Jamaican sample or vocals and more reggae influenced

As for the music today, I have to say that I think the following are some of the biggest leaders, and I recommend any and all of them. Though, a few of these I think are not DnB, and just electronic.

AMAZINGNESS.
OH MY JESUS, CRASHiC, thank you sooooo much!!! I finally have a better understanding of Techno Musiccc!!! Thank you so much!

If I give you some samplings of music that I have grown to like, will that help better narrow my "techno genre" likings?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Th50eiKjIk
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j0Kz9kXM_HM (More of a Dance Theme)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p-WXECnUVqc
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ql1Jt0i9XjU&feature=related

In all honesty, I think I'm more into "Dance/Techno". I really like DEEP bass beats and techno riffs, whether they be guitar or synth-like.
Is there a genre called "Dance Techno?" O.O"?

What you are thinking of is called House.

This is the kind of thing you are into:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2xUpW0nHLnI (listen to at least the first half before making a decision)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vFlBJ1xZK10
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P81dHaZiyA8

And I think you also like Trance, which is like house in that they both gradually build, but trance is softer
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FPOJ6XN4-jk
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IB03w7wU2V0

Also, based on those songs, I think you'd love the record SiCK MUSIC, its definitely one of my favorites of the year, here are a few samples:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Trd9V34CiFc
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B4p-KsNmqF0
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oQdgdMMO0hE
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gjyg--atHxY

Alright, something you should know if you are going to get into techno music. This is the style that most techno dance songs fit into:

1 Into, then a pause or a very quick build into the
2 Break- its the pay off
3 Release (don't know the technical name for this spot, but its that spot that just leaves you dizzy and waiting for the next break, this is more for the DJs to mix in the next track)
4- Break 2
5- outro

Here is a good internet tv station dedicated to Techno, manily the DnB side of it.
http://breakbeat.co.uk/dnbtv/watch/...ngs_show_loxy_ink_june_miller_data_anile.aspx

Also, if you love heavy basslines, then you'll LOVE dubstep, its all about those bass lines that tear your speakers up

Dubstep-

"Have fun having medics tear down walls of your house to bulldoze you to the hospital when you're morbidly obese".
Oh wow. :laugh:

And becoming the very best known is too hard to try to do it. It'll drive you crazy if you try to become known, so it's actually better IMO to not try and somehow end up being known. I'm pretty sure I didn't make much sense there.

That's some really awesome stuff CRASHiC. I don't normally listen to DnB, but I enjoyed most of that.

I had something interesting happen while listening to some of the songs you linked. Using FireFox, I had Muffler- Hear Me Scream in one tab and Borgore- Guided Relaxation Dub in another tab. While listening to the first, I accidentally hit play on the second so that they were playing over one another.

As a tribute to this topic, I present the results: DJ FireFox

It gets fairly messy in places, but hang in there until at least ~3:15. It's like the songs were made for each other.

I really enjoyed this part.

That's totally the whole story and doesn't have anything to do with MLG.

Pretty random blog, but good read nonetheless. :)

You have to have over 5000 posts to be a big name on smashboards.

The Cleaveland show probly won't last. I mean, yeah, its kinda funny, but spinoffs rarely last. I give it a season or two before he moves back to quahog, probly with his new family.

A totally get how you feel about anime. Late at night, I feel like I'm dreaming while awake when I watch those. FLCL totally had the biggest dream effect on me when that ran.

As for diet soda: BOO!
I mean, its not that bad. But every diet soda i've ever had does have one distinct difference from its original counterpart: the aftertaste. Its always the aftertaste that bugs me with diet soda.

on a tangent: I say pop, but when reffering to diet, I say diet soda. I'm just now realizing this. Weird.

This is why you open a new blog submission window, and copypaste the contents of your blog post into it and submit.

Was pretty difficult wasn't it!
