Some really cool Christian rock/metal/goth bands I've found

Lot's of Christ's followers listen to secular music. Why? I'd say that it's usually because they can't find bands of the same skill in the Christian world. Well, I've done some looking and found that there ARE many bands that are just as good as the secular rock, metal, and goth bands, but instead of singing about witchcraft, sex, drugs, crime, satanism, etc, these guys are singing about Jesus, the Creator, Bible prophecy, etc. They're bands with great music, and lyrics that we can agree with.
They are:

HB. A modern Christian Metal band from Finland. Most of they're songs are in Finnish, but they've rerecorded many of them into English.
Stryper: A Christian Metal/Rock/Glam Metal band from the 80s-Today.
Bloodgood: An excellent Christian Metal band (also from the 80s).
Whitecross: My personal favorite, they are yet another Christian Metal band from the 80s. Their songs almost always are about what Jesus did for us, and those that aren't are still Bible based.
Daniel Band: A Canadian Christian Rock band from the 70s-80s-90s-Today. They got me started looking at the older Christian bands.
Savior Machine: An amazing modern Christian Goth band, they sing a lot about Bible prophecy.

Admittedly, this is not a lot of bands, but they are the best in my opinion, and checking them out will let you find a lot of other Christian bands in the same genre.

Language of the Universe

I had a thought yesterday... What if the Universe isn't just about Math? I mean, what if it's not just "what works". What if it's actually Language: It works, but it is also amazingly beautiful. I believe that if you can learn to "read" the Language of the Universe there would be almost no end to what you could learn.

Nazis in Batesville.

Okay, so me and the family were on our way home from the park, and I noticed something odd in the car in front of us. Looking closer, I realized the were Swastikas! I pointed them out to my mom, and we freaked about Nazis being in Batesville for a bit. But then I realized, this is America, and not just America, but an American city/town. Of COURSE there's gonna be kids with Swastikas in their car. It's a rebel thing. So, perhaps they weren't Nazis. But then, maybe they were... Who knows? Nothing I can do about it, so I just went on with the day.

We have two weeks, and then the End begins.

Looks like we've got two weeks, and then *POP* goes the economy. I'm guessing it has something to do with Japan getting hit the way it has been (pray for them... they've been dealing with a lot lately).
Speaking of Japan, because of the earthquakes their nuclear power plants or melting down (or exploding... I've been hearing both, so I don't really know which), and the radiation has gotten into the jet stream. Hello Zombie Apocalypse (note: zombie's are real. They're just not caused by radiation. Google haitian zombies.)
So, the economy crashes and zombies invade... sounds like the perfect time for the Elite to finish setting up their Global Government. With the dollar (and every other currency, for that matter) becoming absolutely worthless, the Elite are going to implement a World Currency (don't know what it'll be called yet... probably rhyme with Euro, like the proposed Amero), and eventually a Mark (possibly immediately), without which you will be unable to buy or sell. This will be the Mark of the Beast spoken of in the Bible. Keep watching.

Working on my Linux skills.

Right now I'm working on mastering the Linux shell. Yeah, shoulda been one of the first things I did. But it wasn't. Anyway, now that I'm absolutely hooked on Linux, I'm gonna need to learn the Shell to get the most out of it. Plus, I plan on building my own distro at some point, and there's no way that's gonna happen if I can't even use the command line.

From Puppy to Bodhi

For a while now I've been using Puppy Linux, and enjoying it greatly. But today I discovered Bodhi Linux, a Linux operating system similar to Puppy in that it is minimalistic, but differs from it in that Bodhi looks BEAUTIFUL! I like the desktop's that Puppy uses, they're simple, easy to understand at a glance. I love the Enlightenment desktop that Bodhi uses though: It's simple, elegant, and customizable. Also, Bodhi comes prepacked with just the software I'll be using, and there's on and off line help for those that (like me) are not great at installing extra software onto there Linux machines. Yes, I do believe Bodhi will be replacing Puppy as my main OS very soon.

Animated Villian/Heros, and awesome guitar

 So, today was Friday. That means me, my bros, and my dad sit down and watch a movie. Dad rented "Megamind". XD Just about died with laughter. For those who for some unknown reason have never heard of this hilarious Dreamworks animated movie, it's about a super villain named Megamind, and a super hero named Metro Man. To make a long story short, Metro Man gets sick of heroing, fakes his death, and leaves the Metro City (which Megamind pronounces Metrocity) in the hands of Megamind, our blue big headed "villain". Megamind takes over the city, and then finds that even though he has everything, it's nothing. He misses his old fights with Metro Man. So he creates a new hero, named Tighten (Titan), who decides that hero work is boring, and so becomes a super villain worse than even Megamind. This forces Megamind to become a good guy, and try to save Metro City from Tighten. In the end, he succeeds, takes all of Tightens powers away, becomes the protector of Metro City, and gets the girl. Best of all, I'm pretty sure he pronounces Metro City "Metro City" before it's all finished. Maybe there's hope for him yet.

After watching the movie with my bros and dad, I got on facebook and found that I had been ordered to learn "Cliffs of Dover". I'd never heard of the song before, so I Googled it and found it on YouTube. I'm HOOKED! Here's a link: Cliffs of Dover by Eric Johnson

Hey

Hey, thanks for reading my blog. In case you were wondering, yeah, this is gonna be one of those stupid blogs that doesn't really have one focus, but talks about anything and everything the Author (that's me!) feels like. Now that that's out of the way, I'm gonna tell you what I usually feel like writing about:

• what's going on in the World today.

Oooh, right of the bat we get a big one. Don't worry, I'll try to keep this to a minimum so I don't COMPLETELY bore y'all out there.

•   tech!

Obviously I'm gonna blog about tech, I AM a geek after all. It'll mostly just be stuff that I come across in my daily Google search (I Google random things, because I have an unsatisfiable hunger to know all things), but every now and then I'll blog about something I'm doing on my laptop, a program I'm writing, website I'm designing, or awesome renewable energy generator I'm building.

• books.

I absolutely LOVE to read, so you'll probably see a lot of "reviews" on things I've just recently finished. If you like, I'll even check out some books of your choice, and blog about my thoughts on it.

• movies/tv.

You won't be seeing this one much, because I'm not a huge fan of movies or television. And when I do blog about a movie or tv show, it'll probably either be A) Sci-Fi! (I'm a geek, remember? :]), B) A Martial Arts film/tv show, or C) Something REALLY old that nobody watches anymore.

• food.

Another one that won't show up often. And when it does, it's gonna be about something southern and boring to most people. Or possibly Mexican food... that's always good.

• music!

I love music. I love to listen to music, I love to play music, I love to WATCH music (not always an option, but when it is it's AWESOME!). The styles I like the most are: Classical, Christian Rock, Chinese Bamboo Flute, and a few old songs.

• life.

My life, my family's lives, my Church family's lives, the lives of my friends, my dogs' lives... I'll probably be blogging about life a lot. But then, maybe I won't.

• the Bible.

I'm a Christian, and proud of it. I enjoy reading my Bible, and like to talk about the things I find in there. Just warning you so you don't get offended.

• completely random things I find on the Internet.

I find a lot of those.

• and much, much more.
