The devil horns salute

We watched a very entertaining documentary last night titled "Metal: A Headbanger's Journey." It's about an anthropologist's mission, who also happens to be a headbanger, i.e. lover of the metal genre of music, to find out why metal music is stereotyped, dismissed and condemned.

I myself listen to certain genres of metal/hard rock but some of these bands he interviews, especially the ones in the "death metal" category, are a little scary. If you are a fan of rock/metal, give it a watch ... it won't disappoint!

Heaven and Hell

It's been a while since I've written anything in this blog. I find I go through spells where I have nothing to say -- rather, nothing important to say. Some days you feel like writing and others you don't. I've also been pretty busy getting my graphic design business on the ground. If you'd like to learn more, leave a comment or e-mail me.

Obviously, today is one of those days in which I feel like sharing something with the world.

LOS ANGELES (AP) - The Black Sabbath boys are back, as the new band Heaven and Hell.

Guitarist Tony Iommi, bassist Geezer Butler, drummer Bill Ward and singer Ronnie James Dio - former members of British metal supergroup Black Sabbath - are forming the band named after their 1980 hit, according to their publicist. They plan to launch an international tour next year.

"The fans have been wanting to see this for years and years. Now was just the time," publicist Maureen O'Connor said Wednesday.

Since its formation in 1969, Black Sabbath has undergone numerous member changes and reunions.

Dio, who replaced original Sabbath vocalist Ozzy Osbourne as part of the band's early '80s lineup, has been recording new songs with Iommi in England, O'Connor said.

I'll see you at the show!

Toast Extravaganza

This is what I call breakfast! When I know there's a late lunch on the horizon, I ply myself with carbs to keep me going.

This version consists of cottage cheese, butter and honey, peanut butter and jam, and old cheddar.

The sports page is the anaesthetic which numbs the stomach enabling it to accept this load.

Bon appetit!
