New LP.com

Hey guys!
Yeah it's been a while since I posted something on my blog.
Today all the LPU members got an e-mail to get a glimpse on the new LP.com.
To try it and tell after what we think of it.

The whole site is awesome. For me it's way better than the old one. The background kinda reminds of the new game (8 Bit).
And the whole site is way more easier to use. You can upload photos way faster. For me it's like it's more familiar, and you can find stuff easier.

So all in all. Awesomesauce! Good job guys.

My tattoo

2009-09-07T20:32:00.008+02:00

Okay most of you already know my tattoo, but now that I have a blog I thought I'm gonna post some pics here *lol*

The guy who did my tattoo was really cool. We joked a lot and he was always like "Oh the eagle looks great on your back". Yeah haha nice try :P

The border was done after 45 minutes.
You can't see it on the pic but in front of me there was a TV where I watched "Road To Revolution" while I got tattooed :)

And after 1 1/2 hours it's done. It was fucking painful, but I have to say it was the greatest pain I've ever felt, haha.

I'm very happy that I did it. The people who read my story some posts ago know how much LP means to me. And that's what I want to show the world :)

That's me

It appears that my Gold Guns Girls Metric remix has been circulating online. Glad you guys like it! I'm obviously not permitted to post any links to the track, but there has been some great feedback about it...and you can always just listen to it in the music section here.

By the way: Phoenix and I were in the supermarket together today...

and I snapped this picture of him with my phone:

LOL. Awesome!

How I became a Linkin Park fan and how this band saved my life

2009-09-06T00:33:00.004+02:00

Okay I thought I’m gonna start blogging with one of my big passions in life:

LINKIN PARK

This band means a lot to me, because in the past they helped me through a hard time….

To tell you how everything started:

Back in 2001 I was at one of my friends house and we had a little music session.
We were sitting on the floor and she said that one of her friends gave her a CD with some songs on it.

We listened to the CD and most of the songs were pretty good but only one song catched my ear.
I was immediately in love with the song and it was no one else than “In The End”.
I never heard something like that back then and especially the lyrics really touched me deep in my heart somehow.

So I asked her if I could borrow the CD for a while, because I had to listen to the song again and again.
And so she gave me the CD and I think I listened to the song for weeks. Not only ITE but most of the time..YES! haha
I have to say back then I hadn’t had the chance to google the band to already become a fan, so I just loved the song and knew it’s from a band called Linkin Park and was happy with that. LOL

After a while I gave her the CD back and somehow I forgot about the song.

6 years later my best friend found an album of a band on her brothers computer.
She gave me the mp3 files and told me to listen to the songs because she thought that they’re pretty good.
So I started my notebook and listened to the songs on my player.
When I was done with the album I just thought “WOW awesome”
So I looked from which band these songs are and yeah it was Linkin Park.

I was like “damn I know this band from somewhere?!”
So I google’d the band and found THE song on youtube.

I immediately fell in love again and searched for some infos about the band.
And yeah this is how I became a fan.

But in 2008 I became a “fanatic” (yeah many of my friends, classmates and family members say I am. LOL) because of something that changed my life in a bad way.

My mum got cancer in 2005, but she had the strength to defeat this one..but not the second one. She got it again and many operations followed.
In that time I needed something to distract me from everything and from the pain I felt.
And Linkin Park were a big support in that time, because they made me feel good and happy after listening to their songs and watching some vids.

On June 11 my mum died.
The day was the most painful day of my life and I just wanted to die. Srsly? I really thought about killing myself.
But I just went to my room and listened to “In The End”. On that day this song had such a different meaning, but it was the only song that could “understand me” and it made me think that life goes on and that I have so many great people in my life that can make my life happy again.

Today I still think Linkin Park saved my life. Sure my friends and my family helped me a lot too and I’m very grateful for that ( I love you!), but the first one who stopped my thoughts of hurting myself were Linkin Park.

So I just wanna say..THANK YOU!

Welcome!

But well with some help (thanks to Joey_DC) everything's pretty nice.

This blog will be about stuff I like and about myself.
