30.09.01 - the daily grind - bryan

so i work two jobs. a gas station and a farm. when it rains, i don't have to go to the farm. but i still have to go to exxon. whats the deal with the rain. it only rains when i have to go to exxon, and clear skies when i have to go to the farm. i work like 60 hours a week. sure it's good money, but i'm tired all the time.

but i'm cool, i got a spamwich and a new girl to keep me occupied, though one of those won't last through the night.

but i want to know why everyones sweating my balls about not going to college, i mean damn. it's my life, if i want to wreck it, let me. sheesh, raise up off my mizzouse.

in all reality though, the Insane Clown Posse rule. regardless of what people think. i saw big money hustlas recently. funny ass movie. deffinetly a top choice for any juggalo. but if you think they have no talent, you won't like the movie, it's strictly for the juggalos and ninjas.

i think Papa Roach had a good idea when they wrote Between Angels & Insects:

"fuck your money, fuck your possesion, fuck your obsession, i don't need that shit"

and even if you don't like NoFX, you should go out and buy the single for The Decline. cause it's an 18 minute long song that truley owns. and tons of the proceeds go to animal charities and stuff. so don't just be a cock and download it, cause then maybe scruffy won't be able to get his flu shot, catch rabies, find your house, kill your family and infect you with rabies. then you have to get 12 shots in your stomach. though i heard new breakthroughs in technologies pushed it down to like 6.

remember kids, when you pirate mp3's, you're downloading communism.

communism doesn't live at forensick.net/thirdpenguin only the high class debonnaire penguins

27.09.01 - elf in the knack? - elfstomper

It seems that all the other posters here give reports on bands they like and critique albums that have been relased. In keeping with the program im gonna give you the public a glace into what runs through my mind when i listen to some new albums that i recently purchased.

System of a Down, Toxicity- This album is good. quite good. When i listen to it I feel good. My favorite songs on teh album are chop suey!, bounce, toxicity, and jet pilot. Why do i like these songs? cause there good.
On elf's 1-11 scale, this album gets a 10.Im finding it tough to measure it against their first album, but all in all , i think it rocks my socks.

Pennywise- Land of the free? Ok now, we all know that every pennywise song sounds exactly the same right? well they do! but the fact of the matter is This new album rocks the cheetahs ass. Sure you can definetly tell its pennywise, but it re affirms my belife that pennywise should make the new american anthem.
On elf's 1-11 scale Land of the free gets a 9

Static-X- Machine- Ok ive listend to this album 4 times all the way through now, it def. rocks, but im still not sure how i feel about it....hmm ill come back to it at a later date.

Stabbing Westward (self titled) Im glad stabbing westward made this their self titled album, In my belife, it is thier best album to date, no question. Not as dark as Darkest days, but ohh god, sit back, get drunk , and listen , it will kick you in the nuts from 20 feet behind you, trust me it rocks..
On elfs scale of 1-11 , this album takes home a whole hearted 11.

From Zero- heres a band whos cd, hasent left my car for 2 months now.I took a gamble on this one ,never hearing them before and can say im suprised, they have alot of talent, and their album makes it easy to see that. The only negative side to them is that they lack those melodic guitar riffs at just the right point, like it leaves you saying , AHH they could have done that DUN DUN DUN right there, ya know. but its ok i hum my own riffs to the songs.
elfs survey says ........ 7 out of 11. Def. a worthwhile cd to snatch for the 10$ price tag.

Primer 55. elf gives them a 2 out of 11, they would have gotten a 1 , but they gain 1 point for interesting album cover art. Nuff said.

23.09.01 - $@me 01d shit - reptillikus

So ive recently joined forces with a group of sites referred to as the no porn network. basically, its a group of websites out there, who, like me, do not want to resort to plastering the pages with advertisements and links to porn sites. These just suck ass, and were not gonna put up with that shit, or make you suffer with ten thousand windows opening every time you click a link, or load the main page. Isnt that nice?

So some of you may already know, but Anders has officially left The Haunted. He sites personal reasons, and if you read their site, he speaks of not enjoying the road life, and wanting to go back to the university. I wish him the best, as he will be missed...

More cds!
God Forbid - Out of Misery (re-issue)
This is a re-release of their demo with a bunch of other stuff. It starts out with the demo for N2, then the five song demo (which jeztyr and myself were lucky enough to get when it was first released) Minde Eraser, Habeeber, Madman, Nosferatu, & Inside. It then continues on to have five live tracks from last december: No Sympathy, N2, Reject the Sickness, Ammemdment, and Propaganda, the classic Sepultura song. All new artwork, the demo is re-mastered, so the cds not quiet as hell like the first, the live tracks are not bad in production, but the bass is a little too high in my opinion, so the guitars are a little lost, but overall its a good buy.

Opeth - My Arms, Your Hearse +2
The classic album, but with two bonus tracks:
Circle of the Tyrant, which was recorded in '95 with the original band line-up. It appeared on the cd "In Memory of Celtic Frost", and, as you may have guessed, it was a cover song.
Remember Tomorrow, recorded with the line-up from My Arms Your Hearse. It appeared on 'A Call To Irons', which was a tribute to Iron Maiden. Both are great covers.
The weirdest thing about this cd was that when i opened it up, found not one, but two inlay cards! They are exactly the same! Theres just....two! Ooops!

Moonspell - Darkness And Hope
I havent heard alot of this yet, so ill have to comment again, but so far it seems to have this gothic rock sound that they are more known for. actually, so far it kicks ass, much better than butterfly fx in my opinion...

20.09.01 - The whole thing in a (huge) nutshell - reptillikus

Today is the birthday of the forensick report. Today marks one year since this site has graced the internet with its presence. Alot has changed since the first days of this site. In fact, almost everything has changed. When i first entered the realm of the internet, i never would have guessed that i would one day be webmaster of a web site. It wasnt until almost two and a half years ago that i even started to dabble with html, and when my first actual web site appeared, (a freebie site hosted by topcities,) boy was that obvious. I have since kept that site up, if only as a tribute to myself, and where i came from, in terms of layout and design. It was, however, far from anything worth looking at. In fact, it had basically no layout at all, only some kid who pretended to know how to use photoshop and xara3d, when in reality he only knew how to use paint shop pro. The original purpose of this site was to preserve as much information i could about the bands that i listened to, in hopes that it could oneday serve as a compendium for all to love and praise for its amazing depth, and amount of information available to the masses. People would then contact me by any means necessary to congratulate me on how great i was. Or at least thats what i wanted (i think). But i soon (relatively) realized that my layout sucked ass, that i had no content, and that my design laid so heavily on gifs that unless you had a fast internet connection, you would never have been able to even know what was going on on my site at all... I tried to make new designs, but to no avail, i just couldnt find the time or patience to do anything on it. At the time i was in a tyopgraphy course in college, add that with my brother d/ling some cool-as-hell fonts, and bam! i had some content. I went nuts d/ling fonts, and eventually started making some gifs to upload, and i then made a fonts section for my site,where all these cool fonts i had were available. Anything to please the masses...
But the design still sucked ass.
Time has passed. Almost a year by now, and yet theres still no content. One person could look at everything on the site in about five minutes, and not have to come back for a month without missing anything worthwhile. So by now i have photoshop,and im not that bad, but not that great either...but anyway, i get some plugins for it, and some other shit as well, so i decide to make a software section, and put all of these up for d/l as well. Not the case. Topcities limits the file size for upload, and limits it to webpage related extensions (html, gif, jpeg, zip) as well. No software section for me! this makes me pretty fyuckibg mad, so i decided it was time to go all out and get hosted, and do what the fuck ever i want to do. So I do.
whatta ya know, my first attempt at a domain, and its available! woo hoo! So i start going all out, and making a new layout, and researching hosts, and getting ready for the real thing. On September 20, 2000ad, the forensick report went online, and has not been down since. Of course, that doesnt mean that it looked good. Not yet. With time comes skill, as i was to learn over the course of a year.
version 1.
Very simple design, no tables, no frames. There was an eight piece side bar that was supposed to look industrial,only it was segmented to allow mouseover image changes, so there were seperations in the image which killed it. No logo at top, and every post was done with a diff font, to kind of 'spice it up'
version 2.0
frames!
This began a layout that i kept for quite some time before abandoning for a new one. this had 3 frames, a top, left and right. Logo in top left, framed sidebar, and a nice, blood-like background all across the page. The sidebar didnt look like it was framed, but it was. The sidebar was in porcupine roman, nice gruesome font, and the links were on fire. lovely...
version 3.0
The top image was hacked, and made so that there were six deiifernt versions from that of 2.0, and jscript would load one at random at every page view. Gone was the bloody layout, with a simlper one: a flash sidebar that was around much longer than this layout, and a black background with an abstract design off centered to the right. Index page changed, to reflect current graphics made by me, and would change almost once a week, sometimes with lyrics from songs included. I got alot of grief for that one, from everyone.
version 4.0
i was playing around in photoshop, and whipped up a cool as hell blue logo one day. I liked it alot, but i had a red design, and therefore couldn use it without it looking really gay, so i didnt. About a week later i started toying with a blue layout, although it took me a little while before i had the guts to actually implement it. This is where i started putting the posts into tables to make it look better, and more organized. It was around this time that i sold out to the man and started the shift to a rant-styled site so as to hopefully gain hits, and maybe meet some killer people as well. This version was updated a couple times, eventually putting every post in its own table, etc... and then, the major move: [editors note: this is where i stopped caring about whether or not i had readers]
version 4.5
the auto poster. A couple months ago, elfstomper did some posts for me, and put a notion into my head. About a month ago, me and ratslayr devised a way to allow a bunch of us to be able to update the page indepentently of each other, much like everyone else was doing for like a year now, while i was over here living in a hole. So now there was five of us posting.
version 5.0
the current layout.
Still has a little tweaking to do, ill get around to it eventually, im sure. the question is, where will i go from here?
Here is a page displaying choice logos from the past, re-incarnated for this event. here is a link to my original site, so you can see what i meant when i said no layout, and to see where i have come from

17.09.01 - My Opinion on the terroists. - Elfstomper

It seems like everyone has been effected by this recent act of terrorism,and in turn everyone has their own opinion. Now because im being generous, heres my opinion.

World war 3 may be upon us, and to me , its an exciting time. The talk of a draft is scaring people, but i have to clarify how the draft is going to work on this one. America already has a full time army witch can stand up to a superpower like russia or china. In this case, everone is in a state of histeria, so they are going to call up the reserves.... NOT ALL OF THEM mind you, to back up the Full time army. A draft of regular citizens isnt even being considered right now. For a draft of that weight to happen , all the full time soldiers would just a bout be dead and we would have lost half of our reserves. The army knows it takes 6 months to train a soldier, and in a war of this size (were talking about afghanastan for christs sake) it is highly doubtful that a draft of regulars will take place. You also have to consider that we will have dozens of allied countrys fighting with us. Im sure itll all be fine in the end, but if the worst does happen , i will be proud to defend the future well being of my country, and make the world a safer place
.
On a lighter, more biggoted view, all these countries in the middle esat have been making trouble for too long.There political as well religious views are horrendous and seem to get worse with every new revolution. This is 2001, not 12 A.D. there demoralizing archaic ways of life seem to have gone ignored for too long. Time to police them , and for the love of god, kill the stupid terrorists. They hate ameircans, not all but most middle eastern people do. Why ? cause we have the wealth , the technology and the advanced modern views of freedom and a life they wish they could all have
but cant cause there too busy hating countries that make them jealose? well my message to them is , WE DONT LIKE YOU EITHer! not because of jealosy, not because blatent stupidity and ignorance, but because they killed over 5,000 innocent hard-working americans, and god knows how many otheres have died from their hypocritical psudo-political conquests. With that being said, bin laden , The iron fist of america is headed your way. Hope getting your whole country killed is what you wanted.

17.09.01 - The tale of 'L' - Elfstomper

Ahh another year back at school.When one thinks of school usually books, grades and old deformed teachers come to mind, However, to any male student age 13-uh.. when it dosent stand up anymore with out the help of our friends, drugs, What school really stands for is the never ending quest for booty. Ok now you guys can misconstrue that however you would like, hell with that , I meant QUEsT FOR BOOBIE!, there thats better. As you know i usually have the worst run-ins with the ladie folk, and keeping with tradition , i present to you the new chaper in my book, "the A-Z book to screwed up women", titled, 'L'.

Its a Friday night, the mood is right, for lOVE! So like any other college guy , i cruised the nights party scene. After about an hour of hearing nothing but the occasional tale of the frat party , i decided to call up and old friend. For keeping with the secrecy , we will call him THe catapillar killar, or CK for short. CK told me that nothing was really going down but that i should come over because hes having a "few people" over. Now ive heard this phase muttered about a hundred times from the mouth of CK so I knew better that there would be a party going on. I headed on over and not to my suprise, there were about 20 people in the apartment , a good 14 of em women. I have to give credit to CK, he dosent fuck around when it comes to getting girls over. Well up on my scoping I saw this girl that i took an intrest in. We will call her crazy thong. or cheif for conveinence purposes. This leads me to the introduction of L.

Now as you know hot girls that arent complete sluts always travel with one out of the ordinary girl to make themselves look better. Such is the case with CHeif. I figured a good tactic would be to Talk to this outcast of the group "L" to get closer to cheif. Now in L's case, she wast ugly , or too fat, but she does have a bit of the chub and a huge ass.A huge, flat ass, one that you can see from the other side of the parking lot. you get the picture.
Well apparently my plan didnt work , cause me and L stared hanging out , then one thing led to another and now , being that they are friends, chief will no longer be obtainable. My mission has failed and i crashed and burned. Now L calls me her "husband". 5 days have passed since i decided to cut commuications and my inside sources tell me that she still thinks were together. Jesus christ talk about stupid!!!! Now i have to let her know that there is no relationship. The question of the hour, should i try not to hurt her feelings? or let her crash and burn like i did. Then of coarse there is the "No communication for an extended period of time approach" the key to that is seeing how long i can go till she notices that im not talking to her.

If theres a lesson to be learned from L, its "HEY DUMBASs! THE TALK TO THE UGLY GIRL TO GET INTO THE GROUP" approach dosent fucken work. DONT TRY IT!!!!!! Ill update in a week to let you know how the prison term is going.

17.09.01 - Its the end of our generation as see it - reptillikus

So, its a war we want, is it?

Ive been snooping around the web this evening looking at various articles and polls, and it would seem that most of us want to go to war, and brutally annihilate the people responsible for last weeks hijacks, and to obliterate their country, too. I for one, have to disagree slightly. First off, as stated before, we are dealing with a terrorist, not a country. (At least, not yet, anyway) However, we're perfectly content with going and slaughtering an entire country, just to get a couple terrorists who are hiding in fear from us. Ture, they killed a bunch of innocent civillians. I for one, would have thought that they would have attacked the military. But i suppose they made their statement.
Anyway, back to the point.

The government is now attempting to invoke atricle V of NATO, which, in lamens terms means that, if you fuck with one of us, you fuck with all of us. Can you say world war three? I thought you could. Now, I for one, do not looking forward to having most of my generation drafted, and sent to our deaths across the sea in a land where they are fighting a self-proclaimed holy war. This does not look good. To be totally honest, im afraid of being drafted, and sent to my death. I admit, this was quite a move against us, by why foot soldiers? They are drafting reserves already. Why? We havent even decided on a course of action, yet we are amassing troops. And for what? For a ground war in the deserts, where we are surrounded by countries that have been less than friendly with us in the last ten years or so? In my opinion, we shoudl go in with an air raid, and finish it off quickly in the skies, where we have the advantage. We could have them begging for mercy in days. But this will not happen.

War boosts the economy. And our economy needs it. Stocks have been dropping constantly for the last couple of months. Now theyre dropping drastically, after the hijacking. And what better way to boost the economy than with a war? It worked before, and itll work again. So dont worry, the lives of me and the thousands of other of my age are nothing compared to a couple points on the stock market...

17.09.01 - the same old shit, yet different.... - reptillikus

So i went to Vintage Vinyl (again), and got even more cool shit:
Biohazard - Uncivilization

This is pretty good, so far i have only listened to it through once, so i cannot say for sure, but it seems ok for now. There are a shitload of guest musicians on this cd, almost one on every song, its crazy

Dimension Zero - Penetrations from the Lost World

This is a side band for jesper Stromblad of In Flames. Its only a four song cd, but its still good. And heavier than inflames, too. The last track is an acoustic instrumental, but its still cool

Lock Up - Pleasures Pave Sewers

This is the not-quite-but-soon-to-be famous Lock Up. Full on blistering death metal in the vein of Hypocrisy, only heavier. And on top of that, Peter T�gtgren, Hypocrisy's vocalist, appears on this cd as vocalist. Im told that Tomas Lindberg, of At The Gates fame, will be doing the vocals on the mext one. This is a cd worth buying.

My Dying Bride - Meisterwerk II

This is the second part of the best-of, but its coll, cause it has 'Follower', the jap bonus track from '34.788%...Complete', as well as 'Some Velvet Morning' and 'Roads', both off the Peaceville X Compilation. It also has two demos from 'Towards the Sinister', Vast Choirs and Catching Feathers, and a couple of other misc album tracks. Plus, as a bonus, it has the video for "For You". Good stuff.

Opeth - Orchid [+1]

The classic debut album with a bonus track: 'Into the Frost of Winter'. A demo from a rehearsal in 1992, which was later partially re-written, and released later on as 'Advent', on 'Morningrise'.

Slayer - God Hates Us All

Complete with censored artwork! Apparently the album is released in a standard jewel case (or at least I am told so) but my copy is a small digipak, with a sleeve over the case to hide the artwork. Its laid out to look like a book, and the artwork is of a bible, covered in blood, with nine nails driven into it. This cd kicks ass, go buy it now. And its much more offensive than the previous album, too

You self-righteous fuck

Give me a reason not to rip your fucking face off

Why dont you take a good look in these eyes

Cause Im the one thats gonna tear your fucking heart out

'Nuff said

Soilwork - A Predator's Portrait [+1]

This is a great album. This album is a true masterpiece. As an added bonus, this version has a bonus track called 'Asylum Dance', which also kicks major ass. Im not really sure why they deleted it from the standard pressing, but, if youre like me, then you bought the album when it first came out, only to find out that the inlay card was misprinted, and the song really wasnt on it! But i was lucky enough to find a copy that actually had it, and it was worth it

On a different note, i made a new wallpaper the other day. Its called Red Chapel, and its, well, red. Im diggin it, though...

13.09.01 - Why Terrorists Can Lick My Nutts - Ratslayr

Terrorism.. Some think its cool.. Hell, its the basis of everyones favorite online game Counter-Strike, Others find it heinous. Me, I see it as a major inconvienience..

In light of what happened i must first express my distain to all the recent events. I must say that they have affected even my own life and that pisses me off.. Being i have never met these people or have done anything ill towards them, they still find it necessary to destroy some ascpects of my daily routine

1) TELEVISON- Who can live without Television?? i know i cant!! Hell i cant go a day without watching something.. Commercial, Show, Dragonball-Z. Now that all this stuff has happened TV sucks.. They finally ran out of useful material so they start making things up and showing the same footage 400 times over and over again.. CAN WE SAY OJ SIMPSON TRIAL???

2) NEW YORK- I must say i hold no personal ties to new york and/or it's people, but This has pissed me off.. I was supposed to see the Play RENT today on broadway, But being Broadway is covered in 2' of ash. So, what do i do? I HAVE TO GO TO CLASS AND HEAR ABOUT IT SOME MORE FOR 3 HOURS!!! DAMN TERRORISM!!!

Well ill further expand on this as time goes on.. For now i hope they find these bastards and execute them.. Slowly.. One shot every inch starting at the toes and working their way up.. Ill show you to ruin MY entertainment!

10.09.01 - Livi' in sin with a safety pin go Intel sucks, Intel Sucks - JeZtYr

	25.09.01 - tuesday - reptillikus
	So i saw that gwar is coming out with a new album in november, called 'Violence Has Arrived'. According to Oderus, its supposed to be really heavy, which would kick ass. I cant wait. Damn i wanna see them live again, they kick ass. Oh, so check this out: Someone emailed me these pictures, theyre kinda lame, but oh well, i guess the concept is there...
