Well, guys, you won't believe this:

I went to a music store on a local mall called FYE. I was looking for some CD's for classical composers (I found a 10 disk set for $20, and bought it), but I wandered to the soundtracks because I hadn't found the section yet (the set was under Latina >____>), and on the bottom rack right in front was none other than a used copy of the official DRV3R soundtrack for $2. I also bought that. Disk is in near-perfect shape.

That's awesome!

Yeah, the case is cracked, but the CD is in wonderful shape.

Sweet. Got some pics?

I am sad panda-ing. In less than 23 hours, I will be "celebrating" my birthday... I don't want to get old! Someone, come make me young again!

Look! You've got a gray hair!

The sad thing is I actually do. I dye my hair a lot to cover it up. Premature aging and all. Apparently it's normal in my family :/
My nana's got white hair. It started going grey when she was in her 20's. It's saddening. Lol. Thank god for hair dye!!!
Three days. Sigh.

We got a young ancient person here.

[Harlequin]

Indeed we do. Two days. My mum tried to make me clean out my old room at her place. Get rid of all the Astroboy DVDs... So I got more. Lol.

Also, in Australia and New Zealand, today is ANZAC Day. It's a sad day, I suppose. I don't have much tie to the military (not really... My great-grandfather was an American serviceman though...), but I am a nerd, so I'll be up for the dawn service in six hours!

But still, "They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old;
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them."

[Nikusakken]

Don't talk about military! It makes me remember that next year there's conscription! I don't want to join the army.

It's a big deal here. 96 years ago today, the first ANZAC troops landed, mistakenly, at Gallipoli. Unlike European soldiers, who were conscripts, our ANZACs were volunteers, fighting in our first war as a country, and not a settlement. A lot of people (especially the older ones, I think) tend to see the war as our first act as a country. It changed Australia as a country. We were less a puppet of Great Britain, and more our own country, with our laws and (often incredibly) different ways of doing things.
And in Gallipoli and France, our troops are still honoured for their amazing sacrifice

[bb_42001]

Here Here Harls!!

We will never forget the brave deeds our ANZAC's did for us in WWI.

Shame that no one here seems to care about the soldiers who fought the WWII in Italy. Many people don't even know that Brazil fought against the Italians. Or, when they know, they think that the Brazilian participation was not important at all.

I don't care about wars. It's the worst thing that human beings could do, kill each other (dumb). War is manipulation of media and history books. Mostly people who go to war are from poor families or inmigrants (recruiting offices take the advantage of their economical situations and offer them going to war but most are not aware what really is, the tricks are obviously the money and also an American nationality if you survive in that hell of place like Iraq). War isn't for defend you ideology or political status of your country anymore. War has been always an economical reason. War=Bu$iness. Meanwhile the poor are killing themselves in a war (mostly started without clear reasons) the rich enjoy with the money (companies like Lockheed, and more who earn money making such as AK 47 or M 16).

PD: I don't support the war concept but i really care for who really suffer the consquences of the war, soldiers and innocent people like civilians that are treated as sh*t (remember the Vietnam war or nazis in WW2, they couldn't choose go to war, it was their duty, they were forced to go to war by crazy leaders and dictators).

In the spanish civil war it was hard to imagine that brohers in the same family could kill each other due to political reasons.
War isn't as heroic as in films, it's suffering. In a war both sides lose. (reccomend to see uncensored videos and phtos of Iraq and stuff like that, it's really sad how many young people die there)

In a war words like law or moral doesn't exist and led to this crazy things.

Wikipedia is the kind of source that will get you an F in uni
And that's not the way it works in all countries. I know in the US a lot of the rich families were able to get their kids out of conscription, but in Canada, the men had to have their wive's permission to go (which I think is awesome) and in Australia, we had no conscription, so it was men who wanted to go who went. Rich, poor, anyone!
We're proud of our history (as a country... Not so much before that). We're proud of our ANZAC's. And we know people suffer. That's what ANZAC day is for. To remember.
And Iraq has nothing on the videos and photos I've seen. Australia has issues with censorship. We don't have an R18+ rating for video games, but they're perfectly happy to give us images of bloodied and mutilated corpses in our textbooks. And that's not even including the videos my teachers found...

And we are talking about two very different wars. Iraq isn't anywhere near the scale of World War One, and suggesting it is shows you don't actually know half as much as you think you do.

Just in case you were wondering the difference:
Iraq war: total deaths: 62,889 - 94389.
World War One: total deaths: 9,911,000 estimated.
I'm sensing a huge difference. Like... a nine million, eight hundred and twenty thousand people kind of difference. The UK lost more civilians in WW1 than there have been soldiers killed in Iraq...
Kind of a silly comparison, no?

My grand father... now dead actually fought near Kakoda in WWII

First, i don't use wikipedia for my school works, only for entertainment.

Second, i wasn't comparing Iraq and WWI, i was talking about wars in general. WWI and Iraq are different, Iraq is more a guerrilla war,there's isn't an national army(i mean that there isn't an enemy national army,there is an army but created by the US to fight against insurgents) and the there isn't a direct confrontation between both sides, insurgents put bombs and kill with snipers and escape (guerilla tactics), but in WWI were 2 clear factions with their respectives national armies that fought in a front (a static war with trenches).

Also WWI has more casualties because of the 2 clear factions, and also they were developed countries, that mean more deadly weaponry. Compare WWII and WWI, WWII has more casualties because of the technology development of the countries which improved the weapons of WWI.

In my country (Ukraine) there's conscription, you need a lot of money to avoid it bribing the military.

I find sick that they include that kind of material in school books (i would agree to include them in books dedicated up to 18 years old, probably university books) , there are sensitive people that can't take watching things like that or even films like Saw. In my opinion kids are more used to the violence than in previous years and it's a bad thing. It's a fault of the media and some videogames like Call of Duty. With that propaganda of violence for kids as time goes by they will think that it's an normal thing and they won't find the wars that bad (in my opinion another method to not justify nowadays wars).

Soldiers aren't always the good guys who liberate the country from their enemies.

There is a vid i couldn't take to watch, a guy was beheaded with a knife in a forest, probably in Russia (only watched the first 5 sec)

[bb_42001]

Actually in Kakoda and other places near Australia in WWII Guerilla type attacks were common, because they were in forests.
