I'll probably be here for a while.

what's goin' on metallica? I've been meaning to say it for awhile, but I'm not a big Metallica fan but I can't get enough of my three favorites: Fade to Black, For Whom the Bell Tolls, and One.

...especially the first couple minutes of Fade to Black, awesome awesome stuff.

 

[BBender716]

and holy crap, I just missed my 2000. That's what I get for not visiting the 2014 thread enough 🙁

 

[FloatOn]

I told a girl on the MCAT forum that there's no HOMO/LUMO/MO **** (upper-level inorganic chem) on the MCAT. That's my accomplishment for the day.

 

[metallica81788]

Ugh, I have to wake up in 5 hours.

 

[BennieBlanco]

Shout out to my peeps starting classes this week!

lovely

 

[BBender716]

Hmmm, never heard of it. You're off the hook on that one.

Is that about the Native Americans and white settlers taking their land? cuz that's what it sounds like.

hahaha no it's about the boxer Jake LaMotta. It's a Scorsese film and has Joe Pesci and Robert DeNiro in it. Generally considered to be both Scorsese's and DeNiro's best film.

Ironically, I actually can't freaking stand For Whom the Bell Tolls! It totally ruins Ride the Lightning for me.

There's a lolcat for every situation. It's weird because I actually hate cats. They're creepy in person, but in pictures with a funny caption, they're incredible!

 

[FloatOn]

I went to bed yesterday at 4:30ish and woke up at noon. It was pretty epic.

 

[metallica81788]

Damn, it was a party in here for like 4 seconds and then everybody left. Nevermind.

hahaha I just like the main riff a lot. I do find it moderately annoying that it sounds extremely slowed down, almost artificially, though I've read that they actually sped the recording up on the album. Yikes. lol

As much as it makes me sound like a technical music snob, there's just not enough going on in that song for me to be interested and the rest of it just doesn't do it for me.

Fade to Black and One are two of my favorites, though. You should check out the Unforgiven 1-3 songs, you might like those if you like FtB and One.

oh and I forgot to ask, are you a Mustaine sympathizer or hater? lol

 

[FloatOn]

Speaking of music, I want to teach myself to play the guitar. I thought about taking a class on this, but that would mean HW...and just work in general so it was a no go. I tried teaching myself a couple of years ago, learned like 2 chords, and then gave up. Any tips for success this time?

Sweet. Will do. I hear you about the rest of FWTBT, like I said, I like that riff but the rest of the song doesn't go anywhere, lol

...and even if you do sound like a musical snob, I was that jerk in 7th grade who refused to like Blink 182 because they played 3 chords in every song. 🙄

 

[metallica81788]

Hater.

He's a good guitarist, but his voice is horrible and he's kind of a douchebag. Have you ever heard Mechanix? It's a sped-up version of the Four Horsemen (a Metallica song where Mustaine still had rights to the music) that Mustaine rewrote the lyrics into a mechanic having sex at his shop. Pretty funny.

Carve out 30 minutes of your day to learn the chords and stuff. You just have to devote yourself to it and not give up. That's the main problem with most people who try to teach themselves.

I actually used to like Blink 182 and still sometimes laugh when I hear their songs and jokes. It's all very 5th and 6th grade, though.

And FloatOn, if we end up at the same school maybe I can teach you the guitar.

Metallica's a much more experienced guitarist than I, but from my experience, I think the best thing you can do is absolutely nail the fundamentals. Start with proper technique, knowing the scales, and learning the theory behind it all. It seems very tedious and unproductive, but in the end, you'll be a MUCH better player because of it and a ton more versatile and able to "jam out" instead of playing covers and not being able to improv with a group.

Hmmm, that's what I thought. I have to get a guitar first. I feel like it would be a good stress-reliever in med school. Don't feel like studying anatomy? I'll just be jammin like a salmon.

Good books to learn from?

what's up!!??!

Figuring out what I have to do for tomorrow...I mean today.

Nailed it.

I actually lack in some of these fundamentals but don't have the time and patience to go back and fix it. I also don't play with other people a lot anymore, so the drive to learn extra stuff isn't there anymore. When we do play it's covers and our own songs.

I feel this way about an electric drum set. I need one first before I can really start learning.

Plus, wouldn't drums be a great stress-reliever? Have a bad day, just go home and take your frustration out with some high-intensity beats.

OMG, Blink182...say it ain't so, I will not go, turn the lights off, carry me home, na na na na na nnanananana. 6th grade? That was all Spice Girls and Backstreet Boys for me haha.

Yes, perhaps. Or maybe I'll teach you. OH SNAP! I'm just kidding...I'll probably learn 3 chords this time! We shall see.

 

[metallica81788]

Even though I'm not quite tired, I think I should try and go to sleep.

I haven't gone to bed before 4 this entire week. What a great start to the semester. What do you think this means? 😕

For now, 😴

 

[cliffhuxtableDO]

Booyahkasha!

Page 4 is unacceptable. UNACCEPTABLE.

For extra emphasis:

 

[Slowpoke]

that baby penguin is so cute. I'm actually watching planet earth on discovery right now 🙂 coincidence? I think.

 

[MB333999]

I just finished catching up on my psych readings..AND now im reliving my ytv childhood experience by watching the vision of Escaflowne dun dun dun. WUZZZAAAAAAAAAAAAA

 

[FloatOn]

I couldn't find a good lolcat picture so I fortunately came across this one. It looks absolutely adorable. It also looks like a bowling pin that I kind of want to push over, but let's just stick with adorable.

Never heard of it. What's it about? It sounds like it's about wizards and dragons, Eragon-style.

CLOSE! its an anime

the series follows a teenage high school girl named Hitomi, who finds herself pulled from Earth to the planet Gaea when a boy named Van appears on the high school track while battling a dragon. In Gaea, she is caught in the middle of a war as the Zaibach empire attempts to take over Gaea. Van, king of the fallen kingdom of Fanelia, with aid from Allen, a knight from the kingdom of Asturia, struggles to stop Zaibach using his mystical mech Escaflowne. Hitomi, whose fortune telling powers blossom in Gaea, discovers she is the key to awakening Escaflowne and to stopping Zaibach's plans

[FloatOn]

Oh snap! I was pretty close. Hmm, I'm not into anime, sorry. Sesame Street, Barney, and Disney movies for me when I was younger.

I've NEVER pulled an all-nighter in my life. EVER. I guess I can't stand getting things done that last minute.

I have an hour rule. If I lay in the bed for more than an hour trying to sleep, then I can get up. I had lots of interesting thoughts, though. I definitely feel more awake at night than during the day.

I'm in the same boat man, good luck. I just took my MCAT on Saturday and now I've got a lot of catching up to do.

Omg! It's nearly 2, I just started my homework, and I have hospital volunteering at 7 am, class at 10, and more hospital volunteering at 1:30 till 5:30!

But why I'm really posting here: DON'T YOU HATE IT when you're in the library really late and there are PLENTY of computers open, and the one other person in the whole library chooses to sit by YOU, in your secluded corner that you picked out especially so no one would see that you're on SDN?? And then, the person who sat by you is being really annoying (i.e. watching television via the internet and having their sound really loud to where you can hear what they are listening to through their earbuds). 😡

 

[cliffhuxtableDO]

I think from here on out there should be a rule that no Late Night thread until 2... Who's with me?

Sure, I'm up till 4ish anyway.

According to the OP:

This thread was made for those of you bored in the wee hours of the A.M.
Please only post in this thread between the hours of 12:00 AM and 8:00 AM (in your respective area obviously).

Why are you awake?!? and what are you doing???

as for me I usually dont get to bed till around 3 anyway, but i seem to not be tired tonight so I drove down to the social science building to do some reading till around 4.

SLEEP IS A WASTE OF TIME! Evolution needs to scrap it.

but to me, 12am is hardly "wee hours" .

I don't think I've ever been in the library when there are many free computers open. It's always packed! But then again, I don't stick around till 2. I do, however, hate when people do that with tables. PLENTY of spacious tables and they have to sit at mine munching on chips or something when I haven't eaten for hours.

Eh, not necessary. The same like 5 people come to this thread anyway.

 

[Sammich117]

I'm pretty sure this is my first post in this thread but I've found myself up obscenely late quite frequently lately, so I thought I'd drop in 🙂
