I just know that we are not alone in this universe
What that other life looks like is a very interesting intellectual question 🤔
Is it like us or is it something that is completely different from what we understand as life
Are there any other civilizations and do they travel in space perhaps in ships that can travel faster than light
Or are we alone 😔
I just know that us being unique is a limited view of this infinite universe

Megadeth is playing in my city early next year
I am going to see if I can get a ticket
Anthrax and Exodus are the support bands
Should be a fun time

I will watch North by North West next
I have noticed that Alfred likes to work with James Stewart and I don't blame him as Jimmy is a great actor

I payed 100 bucks for the set but for 16 movies I thought it was a good deal 🤔

...Metallica has the first three records that can stand up with any triad of greatness

Metallica came out swinging hard. I saw Kill 'Em All in a record store before I had heard of the band or any of their songs. I looked at it and almost bought it (I should have, it was early in the game and it was probably the original MegaForce pressing). I passed because I thought the name was ridiculously stupid. I laughed, "Metallica? I'm sure this will be the last time I ever see anything by those dorks again."

Haha, clearly at the time my ability to prognosticate was...poor.

I think it was just a few days on and a friend of mine played it and I was blown away (his copy was probably the same one I passed on in the record store

My first Metallica album was ride the lightning when it released and then master came out and I was hooked 👌
I still think that Kill is one of the greatest debut album ever

I really love those first three Metallica albums and Justice is some fantastic thrashing metal music
Then the black album came out and though I love it they lost that power that the previous albums had.
I also was a Megadeth fanatic and those first four albums stand toe to toe with the previously mentioned Metallica albums
Then Countdown came out and I was much more impressed by it than the black album and it was that period when I began to prefer Megadeth
When load and reload where released I was horrified at the state of the once great Metallica
It took years for Metallica to get their shit together but finally Death Magnetic began their redemption
Meanwhile Megadeth was releasing some great albums and only really faltering on Risk
I love both bands deeply and have been a fan of both since I was a kid

Megadeth has more great albums but  Metallica has the first three records that can stand up with any triad of greatness

If you decide to go with a budget system then Sony is quite good
I use my Samsung Blu-ray player for my CDs and a high end soundbar and speakers
Living in my little apartment I can't play the music very loud as it would disturb the neighbors but my system sounds good even on the lower volume

I have been watching some Hammer Horror movies lately for the spooky season
I see that you Typhon are a
fan of Hammer and I believe that you where the one who introduced me to them on the old website
I really enjoyed the ones with Peter Cushing and Christopher Lee

Ace is one of my favorite guitar players
I have been KISS fan since 7th grade and Ace was always my favorite member of the band
R.I.P.
