I'd Be Less of a Misanthrope If...

I have a very quick and easy example that is going to ring a bell with any and all of my nerdier readers, or just anyone who is into action movies and can't wait for the new Avengers flick to come out. I can honestly say I'd be less of a misanthrope if more people were like Captain America. No, this is not a joke, yes I'm being completely and utterly serious. Although the character of Captain America (at least in the films, not so sure about the comics) lacks the sarcasm I normally enjoy in humanity, he is nonetheless the perfect human. And I'm not talking about because he gets all hot and buff thanks to a military expirement... That's just a plus. I'm talking about his personality. He's not a complete and utter douche, he genuinely likes to help people, he treats everyone as an equal, he's patriotic but not one of these uber "America or Die!" rednecks... What more could you want? Seriously! Just take a look at Movie Bob, he explains it a bit better than I do...

Now do you see what I mean? Even I can't begin to try and say that I'm a good human being, I hate my own species. But yet this one character, who has been picked on, belittled, and taken advantage of his whole life still has the charisma and conscience enough to be this good of a person... I'm sold on him. And notice that Movie Bob calls him the "Ideal American." Yes, you morons, this is what the image of America is supposed to be! Not the psychos who feel the need to go and burn copies of the Qu'Ran, not the neanderthals who probably couldn't even pronounce four-syllable words let alone read them, not these mud-slinging over-hyped celebrities who's main form of entertainment is to rip each other's hair out, not the money-grubbing lowlifes who run the country... You getting my point yet? You want to be on my good side and stay there, aspire to be like Captain America.

Germaine Hunts for a New Job

Everyone knows the pain that comes with the territory of finding a new job. Or at least most people do. For my own part, I was constantly hunting for about six months before I landed the temp position I'm currently working. Germaine's really not having much better luck with it either...

Song of the Day: "Dear Ophelia" by Abney Park

Yet again this is the product of me having just a little too much time to think while I'm a work. I'm scrolling through my mp3 player and I had the sudden urge to listen to this song. Song lead to album and so on and so forth. Enjoy! 

Game of Thrones Season 2!!!!

IT STARTS TOMORROW! BE THERE! That is all... Except for this...

Now that is all... 

Band Spotlight: Eisbrecher

I figured since I already did a song of the day where Eisbrecher won, it was about time to introduce them properly on my blog. The band started out with only the singer Alexx and their guitarist/programmer Noel Pix back in 2003. Now they've added on their own second guitarist, bassist, and drummer for the band and they are still rocking it out. They recently released their fifth album "Die Holle muss warten" and is is an awesome CD! The main single on this is Verrukt which you should definitely check out... 

Now, I've been hooked on these guys since they released their self-titled album and the only CD of their I've ever been disappointed in was Sunde. Not their best work but its still worth the buy if you're looking for a kick-ass German band to add to your collection. I can never get enough of these guys, they're an awesome mix of rock, techno, and metal. This really isn't a huge surprise considering before he started Eisbrecher, Alexx was the singer for the band Megaherz. As of yet, they haven't done any performances here in the U.S., but hopefully they'll be able to soon because I would do just about anything to see Alexx sing in person <3 If you want more info, head on over to their official site and you can pick up the albums and other cool merch.
