So it’s been a while since I posted.... again... I vow I
will try to make this a regular thing.
I’ve decided for this particular post, I’m going to write a list of songs I would consider my ‘anthems’.... I have several.
Here we go.
‘Who We Are’- Machinehead. I wanted to use this one as my walk out song when I competed in the final of Miss Alternative Australia, but alas, they wouldn’t let me. Robb's idea of using his kids in a creepy chorus in the beginning is genius, the song itself is damn amazing. I <3 IT! It pretty much sums up how I feel whenever someone starts making fun of me, or what I’m wearing, which doesn’t happen too much nowadays, but still happens. There was one instance in a nightclub a month or so ago where people decided that because I was wearing buckles, and torn fishnet that I must be into bondage and kept telling me so... Really? Brain much...
‘I Could Care Less’- Devildriver. Pretty much my ultimate ‘fuck you, and shut the fuck up’ song. It’s pretty self explanatory.
‘Beating on Death’s Door’- Lamb of God. This is possibly one of my favourite, if not my favourite song. It’s a big load of, ‘well... if you weren’t such an arsehole or an ignorant dumbass....’ It tends to remind me a bit of my highschool years with the pettiness that happens in our teenage years, but it can still be applied to many situations today, working in the hospitality industry, I feel this towards a lot of people... and a lot of man kind. They’re such an intolerable bunch for the most part, but I live in hope :)
‘Don’t Stop Dancing’- Creed. I know, I know... “Ew, Creed! Christian band!” I challenge you to go and look up their song “Bullets” and tell me what you think. I personally love Creed. I used to get up every weekend at 6am so I could watch all of Rage (A music video show we have in Australia). And I would always be excited whenever ‘With Arms Wide Open’ or ‘My Sacrifice’ would come on. For me, this song is a big ‘keep your head up and let your feet lead you.’ For the harder times, when it all just feels a bit too much.

And last but not least!
‘King of Fools’- Edguy. This would be another one of those, ‘fuck you’ songs. I do seem to like them. I love this song all over. Power Metal, how can you not love it!
And a quick update- I didn’t get through Miss Alternative, or a placing... I think they were looking for something a bit gothier... which I was/am not. Currently living in Melbourne, still looking for a house... And that’s the story of me to date.
