This is not right.
Give me caffeine. NOW.

The addict has succumbed
Today, I failed.
Today, my will finally shattered.
Today, I lost my battle against my addiction.
Today, I renewed my Warcraft subscription.
That's right, I stayed clean for about a month. Just plain and simple canceled my subscription and deleted World of Warcraft from my computer about a month ago for fear of losing my life to this damn game. But alas, today I gave in and renewed it.
The new expansion pack, Wrath of the Lich King, is what finally put me over. I was watching the cutscenes and I got all excited and school is out and it all came crashing down.
I guess it's still better than heroin...
Anyway, my characters are...
Vishe- Lvl. 51 NE Warrior (Fury)
Volvagia- Lvl. 18 HU Mage (Flame)
KurtZisa- Lvl. 10 GN Warlock
I also have a horde Tauren druid but hes a piece of shit and I don't like him.
So hit me up if your also part of the global sensation that is World of Warcraft.
LOOK ON MY WORKS YE MIGHTY AND DESPAIR! I AM VISHE KING OF KINGS! AND I HAVE RETURNED!!!!!
Here's that great Leeroy Jenkins video we all know and love...

Joe Satriani vs. Coldplay
0 followers eh? No emails either, and not a comment in sight...
I can't help but feel as if these posts are naught but floating around without motivation or purpose through cyberspace.
Oh well, woe is me.
Anyways, it seems that guitarist Joe Satriani is suing Coldplay for alleged plagiarism of his song If I Could Fly. The song in question is Viva La Vida off off Colplay's most recent album Viva La Vida or Death and All of His Friends. Now, I am both a Coldplay and Satriani fan and think they are both credible music sources. This is an interesting conroversy because I think Coldplay has put too much great original music out there for them to need to go out and steal someone else's work. I think that this may be just a coincedence, but I do see where Joe could get a little hot and bothered.
Rather than taking my word for it, you can have a listen yourself. Go ahead and watch this youtube video...
So, there you have it. Plagiarism or not? I'll let you decide that for yourselves.
One thought that crossed my mind though was this:
Coldplay didn't directly copy anything from Satriani's song, they only share the melody in common. Joe's song has a guitar solo using it, and in the Coldplay song, it is Chris Martin's vocals. So does this mean that Joe Satriani owns and will forever own that particular combination of pitches? Is that particular combination of notes now off limits to the world of creative music for all time?
Where do you draw the line?
Where does it stop being a direct cut and paste job of plagiarism to "You used F flat in your song! I used it in my song first! I'm suing your ass!"
I think this whole thing is very sketchy, and I think it is somewhat asinine of Joe Satriani to say that he has forever and ever ultimate mastery of a riff.
But that aside, I really hope Coldplay doesn't get tangled up with this. The music world is in enough of a shithole as it is without the artists themselves at each others throats.

Thursday. The End.
So in conclusion of my thursday I am posting a blog with no real motivation or subject matter.
I am just plain bored.
I've been getting into photography recently, and some of my pictures are actually coming out pretty good, I think you should have a look.

Tomorrow is my last day of class, after which is exams. Then I am only taking one class next semester so it's safe to say I'm going to have a lot of time on my hands. I've been toying with the idea of making a video just for the hell of it. Video productions is something I've always liked doing and now that we've moved the Alienware machine from the office to the house, I have the tools to do it properly.
I really have no damn clue what it will be about, but if any of you have any good ideas, you can shoot me an email at vishe@weezer.org.
DARK KNIGHT COMES OUT THIS TUESDAY, OMGZZZZZ.
Other than that, nothing to report. Hopefully getting a new podcast up before the weekend, keep an eye out.

Indeed, I am a Poet at heart
So I just found all my old poetry from AP English during my senior year in high school. I am actually fairly impressed with the profoundness of some of them. Maybe I should quit school and become a free-thinker/poet? Always an option.
Anyway, I thought this Limerick was quite funny and profound and thought I would share...
I had a friend named Todd.
Who got the ladies with his bod,
and though most of them were hot,
a few of them were not,
and stalking him, they would plod.
