DIZTURBIA.COM | EPISODE 10 / CODE:RED | "ONLINE DATING SITE REJECT" | 08/21/14

I. DVSNGH (ONLINE DATING SITE REJECT) I

So check it out, what you're seeing is indeed *REAL*, better I should say,
"(not yet, but) going to be REAL", as of this Friday, August 22nd, 2014,
when I go and get my custom "(DVSNGH) ONLINE DATING SITE REJECT"
t-shirt made, courtesy of my good pal friend, over at TREND XXI (Trend 21)
in the Bramalea City Centre (#BCC) mall (and his amazing print machine).
Already went through 'stage 1' phase, having pitched him the t-shirt concept,
and in giving me an 'estimate', as far as costs (in the neighborhood of $50).
And in just a matter of an hour, yeah, I went through 'stage 2', in creating,
yes, a 'mock' "PARENTAL ADVISORY (EXPLICIT CONTENT)" logo design,
obviously, replacing *those words* with what you now see infront of you :)


II. DVSNGH (ONLINE DATING SITE REJECT) II

So 'stage 3', which is the next phase, which I have not gone through just yet
(as of this writing, this being August 17th, 2014 9:00PM), will be me, yeah,
basically creating 'the (necessary, needed) files' and sending it to tha man,
and yeah, I pay him, and in a matter of short time (stage 4)... I get my shirt!
And this I believe will be the 3rd or 4th custom t-shirt I've done with the guy,
and the first in 5 years, in fact, after having him help make (yes... not lying),
me a (2-sided) "FUCK VALENTINE'S DAY" t-shirt (at the cost of $55, btw).
Which I gotta admit, I *regretted* that shirt on the same day I had it made,
and did not in fact wear it out once, though, I was very much intent doing so.
So yeah, I hope the same (feeling) doesn't happen with *this* new shirt.


III. DVSNGH (ONLINE DATING SITE REJECT) III

So yeah, take a good look my t-shirt (again), cause I intend to wear it out,
and yes, PUBLICLY (no zip-hoodies or cover-ups), and to be SEEN with it,
and indeed, I will wear it to MALLS, if I have to (to help get my 'joke' across).
So call it what you will, "a HUGE waste of money", or (how about this one)
"PATHETIC form of human display", considering the content of the shirt, lol,
me pretty much PROMOTING the fact I'm this big... ummm... LOSER! (lol)
And though my website address (as well as @twitter handle) is on the back,
no, me wearing this shirt publicly, is not in any means of a 'ploy' or (idunno)
'reverse psychology' attempt to get girls (in public) to "want to be my friend",
I'll be wearing it solely for the purpose of, yes, "humiliating myself for fun!" :)


IV. DVSNGH (ONLINE DATING SITE REJECT) IV

So the basic rundown of my t-shirt here is, well, as I previously explained,
is a mock 'parental advisory' logo, but instead it saying 'parental advisory',
yeah, it says 'ONLINE DATING SITE REJECT', which is (duh) *what I am*,
(if I hadn't made it obvious CLEAR in my writings throughout the summer),
and yeah, apparently I tried SO HARD (trying to *make connections*, lol),
I not only got BOOTED off of dating sites, but yeah, (semi) ARRESTED!
And on the back of it, it says 'REJECTED' in the form of a (big) red stamp,
with a list of all the 'dating networks' and 'social networking sites' I was on,
in which I had ATTEMPTED to find a GIRL FRIEND but utterly FAILED!
And on the arms/sleeves, it has my self-designed ISSUEZZ logo, cool shit!


V. DVSNGH (ONLINE DATING SITE REJECT) V

So yeah, ummm, I'm no real stranger when it comes to customized t-shirts,
and yeah, I've had alot of 'ideas', many of which hadn't gone past 'stage 1',
whereas with this t-shirt, it's not only gone past 'stage 2' (designing phase),
but I feel *90% certain* I am going to go 'all the way' (in getting it made).
And yeah, whether I do decide to wear it publicly or not, no doubt about it,
I will take pictures of me (in the shirt) and PROUDLY have em up (on here)
for all to bare witness and take in, me, "THE ULTIMATE LOSER" that I am!
But yeah, me making/paying for this t-shirt, and personally 'modelling' it off,
as FUCKED UP as it all is, and yeah, not a/one single FRIEND in the world
(to talk BETTER SENSE into me), dunno what else to say, FUCK MY LIFE!


VI. ONLINE DATING SITES (UPDATE) I

So I just wanted to make note the fact, that yeah, I am temporarily withdrawn
(and let me repeat, TEMPORARILY WITHDRAWN) from "dating sites", atm,
(since 08/10/14, a week), and no, this was not at the REQUEST of anybody
(ie. cops, parents, NOBODY), this was done at my own call, and belieb me,
I AM NOT DONE WITH ONLINE DATING WEBSITES/APPS (ya hear?),
despite how much PAIN they inflict on my SOUL, not to mention, the grief
brought onto MY PARENTS (seeing their son ARRESTED cuz of 'them'),
and yeah, no matter how many times 'THEY' keep terminating my accounts,
fuck yeah, I AM GOING TO KEEP COMING BACK, you best belieb that!
But yeah, as of *RIGHT NOW* (08/18/14), I have decided to LAY OFF IT!


VII. ONLINE DATING SITES (UPDATE) II

So yeah, I also wanna let you know, had ANYBODY actually tried to (um)
FORCE ME to 'lay off' (dating sites), you know I'm not going to take kind to
that, lol, and a matter of fact will fuckin make a *HUGE STANK* out of it
(even if it has to bring *THE PO's* into it again, yeah, fuckin whatever!).
But seeing as, I'm no longer on vacation, and yes indeed back-to-work,
that also plays a big factor to why I have TEMPORARILY WITHDRAWN
(from the whole 'dating site' thing), but yeah, I certainly WILL BE BACK!
And yeah, I def can't wait to take pictures (SELFIES!) of myself, LMFAO,
sporting my brand-new, custom ONLINE DATING SITE REJECT T-SHIRT,
and yeah, have them seen on EVERY DATING/SOCIAL NETWORK I'm on.


VIII. ONLINE DATING SITES (UPDATE) III

So I want to quickly take a moment, to yes, reiterate what I just said here
(with all that's been said, the previous 7 paragraphs), but yeah, as it goes,
I plan to make a T-SHIRT that says "ONLINE DATING SITE REJECT", lol,
and I not only plan to wear it out in public (tho it will cause embarrassment),
but yes, I also plan to take *SELFIES* with it (same t-shirt I just described),
and have those same selfies (pictures) uploaded, not only onto my website
(and my twitter), but as well as onto (those very same) 'online dating sites',
where I attempt to *CONNECT* with females (to my luck, just UNABLE to),
and yeah, see where MY LUCK goes from there, despite the (obvious) fact,
I'll get bitches tellin me, "I should take THOSE pics off", tho I'm not going to.


IX. DISASTER SUMMER 2014 I

So yeah, as be I writing 'this' (August 21st, 2014 4:45PM), here indeed lies,
the final days of Summer 2014, and yeah, quite the summer it was for me,
in what I like to call my 'Disaster Summer 2014', lol, and if I really thought
my summer last year (2013) was bad, nope, this one far n' byfar trumped it,
and if you think I'm just gonna 'let this go', and yeah, pretend these last, um,
3-4 very miserable months of my life 'never happened', hahaha, I don't so,
cause yeah, I kinda made a *DEAL* with myself, that come 'deadline time'
(12:00 Midnight after Labour Day weekend), if I either don't either, ummm,
have a date or get laid or at least (that's right) GET A FUCKIN BLOWJOB
(WITHOUT PAYING FOR IT), yes, I am going to be M.A.D. to say the least.


X. DISASTER SUMMER 2014 II

So it's quite safe to say, that yeah, eventhough I SERIOUSLY DO WANT IT,
but yeah, the chances I either A) get a date; B) get laid; or C) get a *BJ*, lol,
(WITHOUT RESORTING TO A HOOKER), yeah, it's HIGHLY UNLIKELY,
considering there being only like '10 days' left of summer, as we speak, lol,
but whatever, I'm still gonna make a run for it, and I sure as fuck don't care
however many (dating site cunt ass) BITCHES I "stress out" in the process,
and however many damn times my (dating site) ACCOUNTS get deleted,
and yeah, however many times GOD wants to keep FUCKING WITH ME
(how every time I try to *progress* with a girl, yeah, he RUINS IT for me),
I'M GONNA FIGHT THE FIGHT TIL I FINALLY DO GET A GIRL FRIEND!

DIZTURBIA.COM | RECORD INDUCTION | EMINEM "MARSHALL MATHERS LP 2" (2013) | 08/15/14

I. OPENING THOUGHTS

So this month (August 2014) I now induct 2 records that mean some to me,

tho quite opposite, in terms of music style (one being rap, one being metal),

but similar, in the sense, they both have this 'soundtrack-like' feel to them.

The first of which being, EMINEM'S "The Marshall Mathers LP2" (2013),

indeed, the 'sequel' to "The Marshall Mathers LP" from 2000, which I guess,

might be Eminem's all-time (or perhaps, second all-time) best selling record.

Though most will say how 'that record' and "The Slim Shady LP" (1999) are

Eminem's best 2 records, and if you had to own 'just one', be one of those 2,

but the reason why I chose the "MMLP2" as MY ONE 'EMINEM' RECORD

is because I think it's the most well-written and steadiest of all his albums.

II. THOUGHTS ON EMINEM

Eminem, no doubt, THE BEST RAPPER OF ALL-TIME (what do ya say?).

LOL, well, I don't really 100% stand by that comment (just did it as a JAB at

all the TUPAC & BIGGIE fans, although, I personally think *THOSE 2* are

(hate to fuckin say it but) OVERRATED, and yeah, had they "NOT DIED!",

I don't think they (Tupac & Biggie) would be nearly as HYPED as they are.

But Eminem is indeed ONE OF THE BEST OF ALL-TIME, in hip-hop/rap,

and what makes me "a fan" is the fact he (Mr. Marshall Mathers) is a man

with MAJOR ISSUES, and he knows how to take those issues, and indeed,

make RECORDS out of them (in tryin to turn his negatives into a positives).

Something I have to respect, being in the SHIT situation I'm in, I can relate.

III. TRACKLISTING

1. "Bad Guy" (feat. Sarah Jaffe) (7:13) 

2. "Parking Lot" (Skit) (0:55) 

3. "Rhyme or Reason" (5:01) 

4. "So Much Better" (4:21) 

5. "Survival" (feat. Liz Rodrigues) (4:33)

9. "Rap God" (6:03)

16. "Evil Twin" ★
2. "Parking Lot" (Skit) *N/A* 

V. FAVORITE TRACK

Although "The Marshall Mathers LP2" had alot of great smashes (bangers),

my favorite track, and a favorite amongst MANY others, despite the fact

it was NOT released as a single, nor made into a music video (a shame)

was (track 6) "Legacy", indeed, the most 'sensitive' song on the record,

talking about Eminem's dysfunctional childhood, and yeah, quite the detail,

inc. the one amazing line about him being "differently wired" (mentally), hm, 

reminds me (of idunno) ME, and the fact my brain is differently wired too!

Just look at me, and all the DATING SITES I am on, and the fucking fact

I'm REJECTED on every one a them, why, maybe cuz I'm differently wired :)

A song about being a "reject", and life being the shits, how I can so relate.

VI. OTHER STANDOUT TRACKS

MMLP2, an album fulla 'feel bad' moments, as well as 'feel good' moments,

just look at the first 2 singles (tracks 5 and 8) "Survival" and "Berzerk", tho

a turnoff to 'some hip-hop fans' (and pop fans) to hear LOUD GUITARS

being tied to their beloved genre, and yeah, if you're not a fan of rock'n'roll,

you probably blew-off those 2 songs (or record) cuz they "hurt your ears!",

but I LOVED IT, having been HUGE fan of LIMP BIZKIT, back in their prime.

Track 12 "The Monster" also rocks, despite being SO overplayed (to death),

but definately NOT the best in terms of all (5) the Eminem/Rihanna collabs.

"Rhyme or Reason" (track 3), I also love, as well as (track 1) "Bad Guy",

the song in which I played *on loop* before my SEMI-ARREST (08.08.14) :)

VII. LEAST FAVORITE TRACKS

So I can't expect to like EVERY SONG on MMLP2, it has its filler moments,

and (tracks 11 and 16) "Stronger Than I Was" and "Evil Twin" are just that.

What else, (tracks 4 and 10) "So Much Better" and "Brainless" were okay,

Eminem (I'm guessing) tryin to bring us back to his retro ('99/2000) sound. 

"Asshole" (track 7) was disappointing to me though, considering it featured

SKYLAR GREY, who's known for "epic collaborations", not in 'this case'.

And lastly, (track 15) "Headlights", the final (chosen) single off the album,

and I'm guessing, since it features the lead singer from "FUN.", and yeah,

(from a record company's view) cause he's so "IN" with today's young crowd,

they chose to promote this song (over "Legacy"), eventhough, it's CRAP!

VIII. ARTWORK

The artwork of "The Marshall Mathers LP 2" shows Eminem's (past) home,

where he once he grew up in, much like with the first "Marshall Mathers LP".

Not much I can really comment on it, I mean, not as "cool" as the cover of

let's say, a "LONG.LIVE.A$AP" (from A$AP Rocky), but I don't care really.

This was Eminem's personal choice for cover, and it has sentimental value,

so you can't argue with tha man, still, a fuckin kickass album nonetheless.

Actually kinda hoping, he DOESN'T put out a "Marshall Mathers LP 3",

in the future, and one that also tops this record, in terms of great music,

since that would mean I would have to replace this record, with that one, 

since, I only allow ONE RECORD BY ONE ARTIST, into my collection.

IX. CLOSING THOUGHTS

So yeah, having looked through my (growing) "record collection" thus far, 

I indeed had to get me an Eminem record, being that (as I already stated),

Mr. Marshall Mathers (Eminem's real name) is a "man of major issues",

(though, he's in a MUCH better state now, than compared to 'past times')

and yeah, I'm a "man of major issues" myself, which I guess you can say,

I'm at the "height of my issues", considering how my "Summer 2014" went,

and the fact, I'm VIRTUALLY UNWANTABLE on all dating site platforms.

And yeah, "attracting women" probably never was a problem for Eminem,

where was with me tho, it's the single biggest EPIDEMIC of my life, still,

I felt I needed an Eminem record added to the DVSNGH Record Collection.

DIZTURBIA.COM | RECORD INDUCTION | ROADRUNNER UNITED "THE ALL-STAR SESSIONS" (2005) | 08/15/14

I. OPENING THOUGHTS

So the next record to be inducted into the DVSNGH record collection is

ROADRUNNER UNITED'S "The All-Star Sessions" super-album (2005),

which consists of members of various rock/metal bands, past and present

(at the time) on the American major (record) label Roadrunner Records.

So like, each song on this record here, would contain a band member (ie.

vocalist+guitarist+bassist+drummer+other) from a different band, and yeah,

the songs would sound like a transformation of all their bands put into one

(in most cases, although some songs, takes the style of just one band).

Not sure, if such record had ever been done before, with other rec. labels,

aside from charity ordeals, but here, it was a real treat for 'metalheads'.

II. THOUGHTS ON ROADRUNNER UNITED

So yeah, as I kinda mentioned already, Roadrunner United is not "a band",

but a mix-up of bands, or "supergroups" lead mainly by 4 members of

already-established metal bands like Slipknot (drummer, Joey Jordison),

Machine Head (vocalist, Robb Flynn), Trivium (vocalist, Matt Heafy)

and Fear Factory (guitarist, Dino Cezares), each producing various tracks.

Tho, it did come out 9 years ago, the music (to me) still sounds 'current',

and yeah, those who've enjoyed it, are all hoping for a "follow-up" record

to come, but highly unlikely there will be one, since the purpose/concept

of the record was to celebrate the (record) label's 25 years in existence.

Who knows, maybe they might do a "40th anniversary" project, for 2020.

V. FAVORITE TRACK

So my favorite song on "Roadrunner United", yeah, is an unlikely favorite,

a dark horse, I guess you can say, but for me (track 6) "Tired N' Lonely".

Now, as far as the group (of band members) who assembled this song,

so it features the vocals of Keith Caputo, of a band called, Life Of Agony

(I'm not that fond of), the guitars of Jim Root, and drums of Joey Jordison,

both of Slipknot (a band I'm very fond of), and the added guitars, from a guy

named Acey Slade, from The Murderdolls (a band I did like at one time).

But yeah, I remember listening this song ALOT, on the (bus) way home from

Bramalea mall, at the time (2005), having known it for only "a year", now

here I am, 9 years later, sick of Bramalea mall... even MORE tired n' lonely!

VI. OTHER STANDOUT TRACKS

So this fuckin record, what can I tell you, SOOO many songs I liked from it,

don't think I'll be able to cover half of them in this short space, but I'll try.

Starts of with such HIGH momentum with "The Dagger" and "The Enemy"

(tracks 1 and 2), but yeah, (slight downer) the songs are random in its order,

but putting that aside, when listening to this record, you are gonna find/hear

some of THE BEST DAMN *****METAL***** EVER MANUFACTURED (lol),

especially with tracks 8 ("Dawn of a Golden Age"), 17 ("No Mas Control"),

and 11 ("Baptized In The Redemption"), and then, thrown in *by surprise*,

you'll get a pop song (track 10 "No Way Out") or a somber/campfire song

(track 12 "Roads"), I guess, to 'cool your ears down' between MASSACRES!

VII. LEAST FAVORITE TRACKS

So yeah, the Roadrunner United record compilation is meant to please fans

of the bands (on and off) Roadrunner Records, also to of which, includes

bands/musical styles I DON'T LIKE, but whatever, we all have our tastes,

and since this here is indeed a record to please all (or most) METAL FANS,

you gotta please those who love their DEICIDE (track 3 "Annihilation") and

those who love their (sissy) KING DIAMOND (track 4 "In the Fire"), and

eventhough I do like THE MISFITS, sorta, the misfit 'flavored/themed' song

(track 15) "I Don't Wanna Be (A Superhero)" wasn't really all that good.

But of all the heavy metal "dream teams", on this record, I gotta give the

cake to Team "Constitution Down" (track 14) for the most boring song.

VIII. ARTWORK

So the artwork of the Roadrunner United "The All-Star Sessions" record

shows a huge embroidered logo, similar to that of a sports (soccer) team,

stitched ontop of a (Navy + Maroon) pinstriped "sports jersey"-like material,

ALMOST looking like "the real thing", but yeah, when you actual get it

(either by CD or LP), yeah, you'll see it's indeed a PAPER PRINT-OUT.

Not that it really matters to me, idunno, maybe ALL THE BAND MEMBERS

(who participated on the record) got a copy made with 'real jersey fabric'.

Still a cool looking cover, to say the least, but yeah (like millions of others

who own/like this record) hoping to see a SEQUEL/FOLLOW-UP one day.

Owning this record feels (almost) like holding a symbol of HEAVY METAL.

IX. CLOSING THOUGHTS

So if you weren't aware, but these records aren't FREE, by any means,

costing me some money to get these, saying for example, like (uh) the $95

it cost me to get a (used) copy of Marilyn Manson's "Anti-Christ Superstar",

as fucked-up as it kinda is to be buying *that* to begin with (I know, eh).

This (used) copy of Roadrunner United cost me "28 Pounds ($51 Dollars)",

coming to me from Germany, btw, so quite "the hobby" I got going here.

And I may as well break 'news', of the fact I just surpassed my credit limit

(of $7000) yet again, oh and course, how my (restaurant) job is 'at risk' atm,

due to my on-and-off ordeals with "the law" (ie. my recent 'semi-arrest'),

so yeah, I may as well repoint myself as "Dave Bieber", from this point on.
