"It's the soul afraid of dying, that never learns to live"
Well, here's my view on things. The soul is a word given to what we call conciousness. It is the part of us that allows us to be aware of what's going on around us. If you are unconcious, then you wouldn't really know what going on around you.
My 'soul' is afraid of dying. For with death there can be only 2 possible outcomes.
1) There really exists another realm, called heaven and hell. Of which, according to my previous beliefs, will send me automatically, to hell. Not a really pleasant thought, nor one that I look forward to.
Or...
2) There is no other realm called heaven and hell. I'll die and be buried, or cremated and the slow process of decay would begin. Which would lead me to not knowing anything, nor being able to experience anything. Another really bleak ending, one that, like the above, I don't look forward to.
But of course, the word 'Living' is rather subjective. What would it mean to live life?
We've heard of many people telling us to live life to the fullest. But what does it really mean? Does it mean to take risks and do exciting yet dangerous things, such as bungee jumping into a volcano or rock climbing up the side of the Grand Canyon? Or does it mean to just live life everyday, you wake up, brush your teeth, have breakfast, go to work, come back home, have dinner, talk with family, do some work again, sleep, and repeat the cycle?
Well, it's really a personal thing I suppose. There are no right or wrong answers, there are no guide lines to follow. No laws governing how one should live life.
So for the above quotation, I'd change it to...
"It's the soul afraid of dying, that will live the most."
Once again, I'm not saying anyone is right or wrong, just merely pointing out my own opinions and views.

The Hickey Underworld - Blond Fire
A music video by a Belgian band
Macabre and disgusting. Yet fascinating and thought provoking.
Contains nudity, gore and pretty much some rather nasty stuff. Don't watch and eat/drink at the same time.
I'm serious about the warning.
Oh, and don't watch with children around.

Phantomrider
Phantomrider. The very name of the song caught my attention, and ever since I knew it would be one of the songs in the neue album, "Humanoid" I've always wanted to hear it. And now Tokio Hotel has released a 2:15 snippet of it. I've listened to it and I'm loving every bit of it. Suprisingly the new album has quite a few soft sides to it. Although the cover art seems cold and metallic, some songs in it are really soft and heart warming. "Phantomrider" being one of them, and also "World behind my Wall". These 2 songs have me captivated, and makes me feel like a giddy schoolgirl, who has a crush on... Well, you get the picture. Anyways I have the snippet with me and I'm really excited. Let's see if I can put it on my blog home page.
Here's what Bill said about Phantomrider, "It's about being close to someone you really never met before. You want to escape from something and you want this ghost-like soulmate to come away with you because it's the only thing you have faith in. The track carries hope."
Super phantastischer! I can't wait till 6th of October!

German post? Super!
I'm learning German on my own, so I'm gonna try to do this post in German. Grammatically, it may be wrong, but hey, at least it's worth a passing grade for effort eh?
Heute war mein Tag ziemlich langweilig, nicht viel geschehenes. Ich habe heute Morgen an ungefähr 9:49 bin aufgewacht, und dann ich habe nur benutzend meinen Laptop angefangen. Ich bin so zu meinem Laptop für meine Arbeit, meine Spiele, meine Musik, und anderen Stoff befestigt. Ich würde sagen, dass nicht viel heute vollendet wurde, als ich nur zu Hause geblieben bin, und habe den Computer benutzt, der Musik und Spielen einiger Spiele zuhört. Auch denke ich, dass ich sehen kann, warum Bill Nena mag, ist sie ein phantastischer Sänger und ihre Lieder überraschen. Dieser Posten ist kurz, weil es nicht viel zu besprechen gibt, und auch weil mein Deutsch nicht zu gut ist.
Gute Nacht Ihnen alle!

Without any form of salvation, people will revert to their basest of instincts. Self preservation. And that's why politics and religion was created.
Well, I spent the entire day at Ngee Ann City today, arriving there at 11:00am and left there at about 5:30pm. I got an AX sleevless vest, that looks totally rad. Tomorrow Tokio Hotel will be on Habbo Hotel, and I can't wait for the release of their new album, "Humanoid".
I'm am totally hooked on their new track "World behind my Wall". It's a really great song that brings great contrast to the new album as it is way softer than the other songs, such as "Noise", "Automatic", "Dark side of the Sun", etc,etc... In any case it is a fantastic new album and I just can't wait. Alas I have to...
Well I'm just gonna go and rewatch some TH music videos, it's really, really good and does a world of good for my mood.

Humanoid!
Just one more week, and a few days, and the new album will be out! I can't wait for it! I've pre-ordered my albums, but I don't expect it to arrive on the day of release. In anycase I'm looking forward to listening to the new songs. It's gonna be fantastic. Really proud of Tokio Hotel for being nominated for the MTV awards for "Best Group" 3 years in a row. I'm so gonna catch them on that day.
Tokio Hotel Fuer Immer!

Tom playing the piano?! Nein!
Here's a video of Tom playing something I never thought he knew. The piano. Not only is he good looking, but also multi-talented. I've no idea what song he's playing on the piano, it could be a totally unrelated song from Tokio Hotel, or it could be the new track "World behind my Walls". In anycase Tom's a super guitarist, and a wonderful pianist as well. I hope to see more of him playing the piano!
So without further ado, here's the video clip, courtesy of MTV.

I'm quite tired right now, but I'm still gonna do some blogging before I head over to dreamland. In my current state of tiredness, my mind isn't exactly functioning at 100%. In fact I would say it's only operating at 20%, which includes the usage of my 5 senses and thinking of what to blog right now.
Well then, no.1, I've been eligible for the Diploma Plus Programme, as I've said in my previous post, and I'm probably either going to take computer software programming, or reject this opportunity. In anycase I've gotta think this through and make a decision in a few days time.
No. 2, I wouldn't be wrong in saying that people lie. And when it's from people closest to you, it hurts more. Strangely it doesn't surprise me that this has happened. In fact if you're reading this, you'd probably have no idea of what you've done. It also goes to show what I really mean to you. I've leaned on you alot, so that probably makes you think that I wouldn't survive without you. Well, you're wrong. Let's see how far this goes. Probably a few weeks, a few months. We'll see.
No. 3, if I ever see Tokio Hotel, I've only this warning for them, "Don't let me hug you. Cause I'll never let you go." Surprisingly, this thought came to me while I was jogging yesterday. Wierd huh? Anyways Tokio Hotel will be on Habbo Hotel on the 27th of September to hang out with their fans. Habbo Hotel is gonna have to start up a new server just for this day, cause it's gonna be flooded with lots of fans. In fact, I expect the server to crash. Haha! Well, Kelvin, IF you're reading this at all, this isn't a phase, and I'll always like Tokio Hotel, even after they've disbanded.
No. 4, related to no. 3, if I ever look sad, or pissed off, or whatever negative mood, it's most likely that I've not had my daily dose of Tokio Hotel. Each time I see them, either on stage, or on Tokio Hotel TV, or even in pictures, I'll just smile. It's this kind warmth that they exude, and makes me just want to smile. And while, I may never get to see them in person, I'll probably earn big bucks by the time I'm 25, and pay to hang out with them for 1 day. Tom and Bill would be 28, Gustav, 29 and Georg hitting 30. But it doesn't really matter. If I'm a praying man, I'd pray for them to last forever.
No. 5, I'm hungry... I've not eaten and I went swimming just now, so I'm peckish. But on one hand my brain says, "Don't eat!" while the other half says "Just indulge!" Whatever the decision's gonna be later will determine how I feel about myself later. Mein gott! I sound like an emotional eater who's on a diet with really bad hunger pangs...
Well... That's all for now. Gonna play my guitar for a bit before going off to dream about Tokio Hotel!
Tokio Hotel Feur Immer!

Noise & World behind my Wall
I've just listened to "Noise", the very first track of Tokio Hotel's neue album "Humanoid". There's only one word for it: Ausgezeichnet!
The song is highly reminiscent of "Scream", also the very first track of one of their first albums "Schrei". Noise hasn't really deviated from the punk rock scene that Tokio Hotel originally came from unlike "Pain of Love" which gave a completely new sound to the band.
Next is "World behind my Wall" I wanted to cry when I heard the song. It's something like a mix between "Spring Nicht" and "An deiner seiter (Ich bin da)". But it's a slow rock ballad with deep, powerful, emotional meanings. When you listen to this song, according to Bill, you've gotta be prepared to let everything drop, all the walls and masks. That's what I did when I heard the snippet, and I nearly cried. It's just powerful, mind-blowing, and beautiful, just like the universe. I'm looking forward to the release of the album and can't wait for more sneak previews from the guys!
