I Love Kate!

I want to say this again to you...

I'm in love with you!

Cedric Bixler-Zavala

Cedric Bixler-Zavala (born November 4, 1974 in Redwood City, California) is the lead singer and lyricist of The Mars Volta, and was previously the lead singer and lyricist of At the Drive-In.

Raised in El Paso, Texas, Bixler-Zavala, along with close friend and collaborator Omar Rodriguez-Lopez fronts the acclaimed progressive rock group The Mars Volta. He was also the lead-singer of the seminal post-hardcore band At the Drive-In which broke up in 2001.

Bixler-Zavala's lyrics are often abstract to the point of seeming nonsensical. These lyrics often blend contrasting metaphors, usually dealing with grotesque, speculative fiction imagery. He has cited a variety of influences, such as Werner Herzog, Luis Buñuel, Neu!, Doctor Who, Syd Barrett, and Mexican folk tales. He has also experimented with bilingual lyrics, switching from English to Spanish several times within the course of a song. The Mars Volta's album De-Loused in the Comatorium was accompanied by a short novel of the same name, written in the same metaphorical style his lyrics are arranged by Cedric and Jeremy Ward. A lot of his vocal work operates in the higher register (displayed in songs such as Inertiatic ESP), but he also operates competently at a normal pitch.

Bixler-Zavala frequently does somersaults on stage, swings his microphone, salsa dances, sarcastically mocks the audience for fun (during At the Drive-In days), and plays the maracas. Previously Bixler-Zavala was a heavy drug user, but he has now quit using opioids along with bandmate Omar Rodriguez-Lopez following the overdose and death of Jeremy Ward, former sound manipulator of The Mars Volta.

Multi-instrumentalist Bixler-Zavala also played the drums in the experimental reggae dub group DeFacto, and occasionally played guitar and drums with At the Drive-In.

Lakers Won!

Finally, the Lakers won against the Suns...
Kobe scored 45 points on 15 of 26 shooting, dished out 6 assists, grabbed 6 rebounds. Amazing, or simply, Kobe!

Game 4 will be held at Staples Center again so better pray for our success!

Kevin Garnett to the Lakers...

Still undecided about his future, Kevin Garnett is rumored to join the Lakers next season as a free agent. Though this remains to be seen, many Laker fans (add me) are already welcoming him and hopes (also prays) for a better future!

For your information, KG is listed as a Laker in my NBA LIVE game here in my PC. (attached is a picture)





Together with Jason Kidd and (a modified) Scottie Pippen, my Lakers haven't lost a single game in my Dynasty!


Well, that is a virtual frenzy. What i want now is a reality. KG and Kobe sure will dominate the NBA! Kudos to Lakers, kudos to the Fans!

Love Or Hate EMO?

I listen to emo. I really do. I got my first shot at it with thoughts of Dashboard Confessional is something really great. I used to love their songs and even sing them, publicly or just in my mind. Then i get to listen to other bands who critics label as emo. There went the likes of Something Corporate, The Starting Line, Matchbook Romance...the list goes on.

I became more inclined to "rock" music because of emo. For me, it is caffeinated, something I would crave for once I tasted.

Things change when "wiser" people would speak up about how they feel about emo! Forums in some websites initiated the talks about the genre. And there I felt something awkward as a fan of emo music. They started to criticize emo as poppy,(something I totally disagree) soft, gay, and even worse, not a genre at all!

I listen to almost every sub-genre that there is for ROCK! I adore so many bands, I even envy them. I also hate some, that's natural. But it should stay personal.

We are entitled to our own opinion, but as far as I am concerned, we should also take note that somewhere, somehow, someone is affected of our brutal and vulgar conclusions.

My two cents in this skeptical issue is simply this, listen, appreciate, if you like it, fine, if you hate it, never say a word.

Love or Hate emo, emo is here and it is way above your taste!


Do you like Emo?
Or it sucks for you?
Tell me...

Labeled as CRAP

Just pieces of CRAP...labels on products stupid people should be angry about...

Well here are a few prime examples of the Label Copy-writer's art.

The label on the chain-saw warning that: You should not try to stop the blade with your hand.

The label from the company manufacturing wing mirrors for cars and bikes warning; Remember, objects seen in the mirror are behind you.

The label on the camera stating; To take photographs this camera must have a film in it.

The labeling on Sainsbury's Peanuts stating; Contains nuts

And on the subject of nuts, the instructions on the packet of Peanuts provided by an airline which states; Instructions.Open Packet. Eat Contents.

The cigarette lighter label which warned; Do not light the flame near the face.

The Marks and Spencer Bread and Butter pudding whose label states the clasically obvious: Take care - Product will be hot after heating

Rowenta, manufacturers of electric irons felt the need to instruct users that; Do not iron clothes whilst on the body.

Nytol, the herbal sleeping mixture whose label proclaims; Warning may cause drowsiness.

The American manufactured insect spray whose proud boast 'Kills all Insects' and was then labeled; Warning - this spray is harmful to bees.

It's SUNS versus KOBE

If only the Lakers have someone to help Kobe,then there would likely be another champagne shower or two. It's playoffs once again in the NBA. And what's new? Nothing. It's just my favorite team is being eaten alive. Poor Kobe hasn't got someone tough enough to form a formidable tandem. Yeah Lamar is good, Luke is great,too. But not to the degree they'll be up for the rest of the playoffs.


Rumor has it that Jason Kidd will join the Lakers. Sure he would make great passes and put better leadership on and off the court. Even Scottie Pippen has a shot in trying a comeback. Lakers badly need him. 5 or 6 years ago. But now? We'll See.

Lakers fanatics sure would want Kevin Garnett be part of the Purple and Gold squad, but it is really a big dream. Knowing KG still has no rings, he would really grab every opportunity. But The Kid thinks the other way. He opts to stay with his depleted Wolves.

Kobe for me is the "greatest basketball player" in the world. I have watched MJ play, but i like the way Kobe brings his game to the prime level everytime he steps up to the hard court. He just not scores, he puts art to it. He can defend. He is by far the best.

Do Not Be Afraid...

Do Not Be Afraid...

Do Not Be Afraid to share your opinions. We do this simply because we are searching for other individuals who have the same view as ours. I created this blog for two major reasons, one, to showcase what nothingness really means, two, to interact with people who share the same ideology.

Do Not Be Afraid...

Do Not Be Afraid of what ignorant people will say. They are plain hybrids of non-intellectual natives who assert themselves as GOD. In sharing what you feel, you find another way to express what we really need.

Do Not Be Afraid...

Do Not Be Afraid to be called a CRAP. They call you that simply because you stand out. And not because you are a fool. If they think T-mac is better than Kobe(and you think the other way), you are not a fool. If they think Kaspersky is better than NOD32(and you use NOD32), then they are CRAP. There are so many things we share as individuals. Thoughts of all sorts.

Do Not Be Afraid... Never.
