Rise Against

Although they may only be third on my Top 10 Bands list, I've decided to dedicate a WHOLE post to them. However extreme that may be, I think they (the band) deserve it, and although I'm sure there are thousands of other fan pages, they deserve another. They are a melodic-punk group from Chicago. I was introduced to them by Guitar Hero 3 with this song: Prayer Of The Refugee


After playing through it a couple dozen times I decided to pick up there CD "The Sufferer and the Witness". I love it. Instant Happiness, yay. After about a week, I NEEDED more so I went and got Siren Song Of The Counter Culture. More Happiness. It was on that CD where I discovered this gem.


I couldn't stop listening. Augh, it was too good. The Lyrics, the melody, the chorus, the guitar and voice. Everything is excellent. It was musical excellence. Seriously, I cannot get enough.

But their most recognizable song is probably Swing Life Away.


More musical excellence. So I suggest getting their latest two albums. They are releasing a new album this year, which could not make me any happier.

The Opposite Of The Last Post

So at the moment I am supposed to be writing a 1500 word essay for history, more specifically Canadian history. Now I'm not saying I don't like history, but Canadian history sucks. It's boring. It's plain. I'm glad I'm Canadian but I really wish I could write about the 300 spartans, or World War 2 or Technological Warfare through the ages. I can't. Because the school system sucks. So since I feel like procrastinating even more, and in lieu of ftw, here are things that are not ftw:

- 1500 word essays are not ftw
- Canadian History is not ftw
- English is not ftw (I mean Grade 12 IB english)
- The School System is not ftw
- The Shits are not ftw
- God is not ftw
- ftl is not ftw
- Rap is not ftw
- Walking Billboards are not ftw
- McDonalds is not ftw

Well, it's a rather small list but I don't feel like thinking at the moment. The list of things that are not yay will continually grow as I think of more.

Many Things Are Ftw, You May Not Be

For all the n00bs out there, if you don't know what ftw means, you might as well leave, because you are definitely not ftw. For all the others, here are the many things that i think are ftw...

- Pirates ftw
- Lists ftw
- Most of the time I'm ftw
- Atheism ftw
- The Internet ftw
- eBay ftw
- Gmail ftw
- Mollie ftw
- Gaming ftw
- Alexisonfire ftw
- Digg(nation) ftw
- Stuff ftw
- Strawberries ftw
- Chocolate ftw
- Down Comforter ftw
- Shine ftw
- Procrastination ftw
- Music ftw
- Srsly ftw
- ftw ftw
- Rise Against ftw
- YouTube ftw

Yay, another list done, I'm going to stop there but I could seriously go on for ever. I'll add more as they come up.
