Hmmm...I guess I'll go with the holy shit first before the music.

I got a job today and start tomorrow morning. I had an appt/interview this morning for a warehouse in Irving that is affiliated with Amazon.com. I guess we pull the orders and ship them out, I won't know for sure what all I'll be doing till I get there. As much as I'm happy to have income coming in, I'm still kinda scared on this kind of work. Knowing that ppl aren't spending as much as they use to, I'm wondering how that's going to affect my work load but apparently they were that hard up for employees that they were hiring right on the spot. And now all I need to do is find a part-time job on my days off and during the evenings once I get off work.

ETA: I work Wed-Sat 7:30am-6pm; overtime highly likely to happen.

I was able to pay my car off with what I had left of my severance pay from my other job so that's one hefty bill I don't have to worry about. And if I can get a pt job, I can start using the extra money to pay my bike off and start saving more.

It took 3 weeks to get something but at least it's something for now. AND I still get at least one paycheck from unemployment from the day that I filed till this week.

Now to the music download:

Looking back on my posts, I guess I never mentioned it except at beat_crusaders. Anyways, a bunch of Japanese bands got together and did a tribute album to Metallica just like what they did for AC/DC. It was great timing on the release date since it came out when I was in Japan but what sucked was that I wasn't able to listen to the cd till I got back to the US but at least HMV had the cd in their player system to where you could listen to it. Which I did and had to kinda giggle at Beat Crusaders version of "One" but once I was able to listen to it more at home, it's still a fucking awesome remake.

I am SOOOOOOOO IMPRESSED with this album!!!! It's just as hard and heavy as Metallica. It may take a bit to get used to Beat Crusaders version of "One" but you get used to it after awhile. It's kinda upbeat/pop'ish than the original. Katou (lead guitar player) does the main singing and Hidaka's bg vocals is perfect on all the right parts. In fact, even though it is a bit pop'ish in some parts, Hidaka's vocals still give it that hard/dark edge like the original. And to be honest, it doesn't make the song as creepy as it use to freak me out when One first came out (I was around 11). The song and the vid for it creeped me out till I got used to it.

So enjoy it if you give it a chance and feel free to let me know what you think.
