YOU! (A Picture/Media Thread): XXI

[Pyrian]

Two recent photos of me.

Trai! I read your blog periodically but I haven't seen you here in forever.

As a native Italian, allow me to say that you have a very nice pronounciation. =)

Thank you very much. I've only been working on it for the past 5 weeks or so, even if I've only really been working with a half dozen of the songs in the repertoire. The weirdest thing is that I've actually done better according to the reactions I've received from others when I just accepted I was going to do horribly and butcher the language and stopped thinking about it. (that is, I basically went on autopilot while singing, which has its... pros and cons)

I'm guessing the practice paid off though. I have to admit, what I have experienced so far of Italian has earned it the place of the most enjoyable language for the tongue that I have encountered. Granted, that's not saying much considering I've only really messed with English, French, Spanish, and German before doing this. ...And I'm only learning for the purpose of singing. Might just look into learning to understand what I'm saying too, though...

Yeah, college has been keeping me busy, so that's why I haven't been around on the forums. I've only got a week left, though, so I should be around more in the next few months. Thank you for reading my blog, though! Makes me happy to hear people do.

Well, I'm no expert, but I'd say you pronounce in a mostly correct way exactly because it's for the purpose of singing... you see I really like music and search for the lyrics of every song I listen to, so I can sing along... most songs are English, but I also have Japanese songs, an Arabian one and even a song that (I've been told) is Norwegian...
...I can sing them all, because I unconsciously just imitate the pronounciation, without the need of actually knowing stuff about the language... I guess the music helps with that... you know, sort of "guide" you to say things right because you know how the song should sound...
(Even though between music and anime I'm starting to learn a litle bit of Japanese, but that's beside the point. XD)

Agreed. Yay McDonald's ice cream. I should get one at work tonight.

[Malfunctioned]

Ohmahgawdit'sDiz!ButEnglishandwithdifferenthair!

Well that's the first time I've been told I look like someone who isn't a rock star and even then it's only really in the mouth-area*.



*For those who want to know it's Mick Jagger and Steve Tyler for the lips and size of mouth along with Gene Simmons for reasons quite obvious once I open my mouth.

Indeed. We should dye our hair together. We shall have dyeing party.

Well that's the first time I've been told I look like someone who isn't a rock star and even then it's only really in the mouth-area*.

I think you'll find that point is moot, as I am completely and utterly a rock star, being a drummer and all, in a band, and stuff.

This is perfect! This way if you ever need to hide from your legions of adoring fans I can just get drunk in England and run around screaming, the press will think that I'm you and your sanity and privacy will be safe! Though they may question the fact that we look barely anything like each other.

Also, does this mean that I'm destined to become the greatest rock star the world has ever known? Or just that I'm destined to continuously believe that and look goofy at the same time?

[Serpentine]

Not to be confused with a dying party, which has more orange cordial and illegality.

*Escapes Jacklu*
Oh, the person who's been ignoring me for the past week and a half now wants to form a dyeing party. Well! We'll just see about that!





Yeah, I'll go buy some hair dye now.

[Tyrandar]

Can I come to the dyeing party too? My hair is all bleh brown now (even without the sepia filter).

So who wants to see me babbling on for ages and looking goofy at the same time?



No one?

Also, here, have some historic hat pictures:

This one is a straw hat my dad got me from the Dominican Republic. I can wear it, but only after I get a serious hair cut.


The too small pinstripe. Sadly, I cannot wear this one unless bald, which I'll never do (too attached to my hair).


The "I wear this daily" felt hat. Sorry for the background, I don't have a better image atm.

IN MEMORIAM:

This was the hat that gave me my current style" such as it is. It was a brown felt hat that I loved dearly. Sadly, a seriously brutal rain storm spelled its death, and I had to get rid of it. Hat, you will forever live on in my memory.

Clearly the water is coming in from the right. That means the East Coast, as East is always to the right.

I actually do live on the East Coast. Bwahahah...

A better pic than before is warranted, I suppose:

I'll take any chance I get to show off my horse and that was just a great shot of the both of us.

His name is Gus (registered "On The Town") if anybody is wondering. 1986 Russian Arabian gelding.

Okay, I'll stop before I start rambling about him.

Aspect?! MESSENGER?! No, I am the God of Hats from a different pantheon, at worst.

[Serpentine]

Oooo. Opposing Hat Gods. Could be interesting.

no no. It's "acquire hats and then you shall acquire females."
