Ummm, hello there. Who am I again?

Ah, that's right. I'm the guy that abandoned this blog for a few months. Well, to anyone who's actually following what I post here (not a lot) and to those who wants to know (also not a lot, I bet), I can explain. No seriously, I can explain, so just stop pointing your fingers and throwing all the blame at my direction!

OK, so listen up: I had come up with a sort of ingenious plan. A few months ago I started to embark on creating a large and secret project that I needed to do by myself. The brilliant idea that I had at the time was that I was gonna use my next post to announce the project when it's finished HERE, on my blog! :D Well, that was the plan, anyways, but I'm very ashamed to admit this (not really) that laziness got the better of me and, though I am three-fifths of the way to my project's completion, made me took a break and I have yet to resume working. Granted, I did have a few things to take care of, but they weren't really anything major, so I'm not making any excuses and hereby admit to the whole virtual world that I. Got. Lazy. Lazy lazy lazy lazy lazy. And because my project wasn't finished yet, I restrained myself from posting anything new.

Well, there it is. Ta-dah! The reason behind my absence. See, I told you I had an explanation. OK hey, I never said it was a GOOD explanation. Whether you find it stupid, pitiful, amusing, impressive or whatever, that's all I can say, really. But! Rest assured, I have now (planned to) start working again, because a certain date is coming up and I would like to present my finished work to a special someone on their birthday (oops, you didn't need to know that!). So there! Instead of announcing my finished project, I am now posting to announce that I have beaten the crap out of my laziness! Hah-hah!

In a somewhat related news, I have decided to create a second blog, right here on blogger! Why, you ask? Because in case you haven't noticed, this blog is simply for random personal things in my life, and I had some other interesting ideas that are much more thematic, so I made the second blog as a place for me to ramble about those thematic ideas. I don't have to give you the link to it, because I'm a total jerk!

Psyche, not really. I haven't actually made a post in my new blog, so you don't have to bother checking it out. Yet. And besides, I'm pretty doubtful that a lot of people would come and visit my new blog, so yeah, I'll get to posting my first post and I guess I'll see what happens from that point on.

Well, that's all I have to say, for now. But, just to add something to this post to showcase more random personal stuff from my life, I'll throw in one extra topic: the Red Hot Chili Peppers' new album! To those who don't know and have the slightest interest, the Red Hot Chili Peppers (RHCP) is a band, a funk-rock band from the USA. Well, they have combined multiple genres during their career actually, but anywho, what I'm trying to say is that I have a fascination with this band. In fact, I have repeatedly named them as my third favorite band. If you've read a previous post of mine, you'll know that Linkin Park tops my list, but I haven't mentioned which band is the runner-up. I'll post about that later.

So, back to RHCP's newest album. It's their first album since their longtime guitarist, John Frusciante, left RHCP, which made many fans around the world worry about how RHCP is going to turn out. Long story short, John was an invaluable member of the Chili Peppers, with whom the band made their best-selling and most successful albums, but he's gone now and there's nothing we (I) can do about it.

To fill in John's shoes, a new guitarist has joined the ranks of the Chili Peppers, a young fellow by name of Josh Klinghoffer. Now, Josh was an old friend of John's and has toured with the Chili Peppers before, so I believe RHCP knew who they were choosing, but that still didn't reassure most fans, primarily because RHCP's bassist, Michael Balzary, better known as Flea, is almost-universally acclaimed to be one of the best rock bassists that has ever existed, and some people worry that Josh wouldn't be able to keep up with his skills the way John managed to for the last three albums. Now that their newest album, titled "I'm With You", has been released, and after listening to it nonstop for the past week, I hereby declare, with all the power of an anonymous person vested in me by the Internet, that Josh Klinghoffer is an EXCELLENT guitarist and deserves his spot on the Red Hot Chili Peppers! Note that I refrain from saying "replace John", because frankly, even though I'm not much of a guitar person, I respected John very much and the synergy he brought to the band, and I feel like he will always be, at least in spirit, a part of the Chili Peppers to the very end no matter what, so no, he will never be replaced, but Josh is an exceptionally good addition. OK, I know I can't really decide all that just by listening to one album, but he's doing good so far. Keep it up, Josh! :D


To end tonight's nonsense, I wish to personally thank you for no reason whatsoever. If you're willing to keep reading my posts in the future, please bear with my random silliness as that is, as I have been told, one of my stranger but more effective charms! ;) So thank you very much, sorry that I have been a lazy bum, and see you later, friends!
