Slayer Guitarist Jeff Hanneman Dies

Jeff Hanneman, from Slayer, died today. And I couldn’t find any news article to sooth my questions. So i mad one myself. Hope it soothes yours…

Slayer Guitarist Jeff Hanneman Dies

Jeff Hanneman, guitarist with thrash-metal band Slayer, has died of liver failure at age 49. Slayer is one of the most influential heavy-metal bands in the world, respected by fans and musicians hailing from all musical genres.

  1. The band released an official statement on Facebook
  2. Jeff had been recovering from a rare disease called Necrotizing Fasciitis (NF), that basically rots one’s flesh and can be fatal if not timely treated. One of the main causes for contracting the disease is extended drug abuse, and Jeff was in fact a revovery cocaine addict and a heavy drinker. But…
  3. He allegedly got the disease from a spider bite, back in 2011. But can a spider bite really do such a thing? Apparently it can…
  4. A Brown Recluse Spider bite has 51% chance to lead to Necrotizing Fasciitis. The spider is native to the USA, raging from southeastern California to western Arizona.
  5. There has been no official statement relating Jeff’s NF disease to his death. In fact, Slayer released a statement in 2012, saying he was actually getting better! Although it nearlly killed him and left him in a really bad shape, as you can read bellow.
  6. I did some snooping around and, fact is, Necrotizing Fasciitis can indeed lead to organ failure.I even found a user comment on the following website saying “need information on when this bacteria goes in gastro… my daughter had it inside her for over 7 months… she is in liver failure now, sphicnter of oddi is damaged, and the vagus nerve they think is damaged (…)”.

  7. This is a very sad day for Music with a capital M all around.  Tweets from all around the music world hint at just that…
  8. R.I.P. Jeff Hanneman, brother in thrash.
  9. Jeff Hanneman will always be a metal god. A true master, he gave energy and excitement to millions, and will continue to. #PartyForSlayer

Primavera Zombie

Não, não é o milagre de Fátima de 1917

Pensei que nunca viveria uma cena de Apocalipse zombie até este sábado no festival Primavera Sound.

A chuva caía, tola mas sem tréguas, e metade da população já estava ensopada até ao osso.

Curiosamente, os hipsters não são à prova de água e como tal foi necessário recorrer aos impermeáveis que lá andavam a distribuir. Tantas aquelas horas a preparar o “altfit” perfeito para conseguir aquele look de “estou-me a cagar para o meu look” para, contas feitas, estarem todos vestidos de preservativos gigantes, a gingar pela relva e pela lama. Todos diferentes mas todos iguais.

A Optimus tinha milhares de gabardinas impermeáveis para distribuir gratuitamente. Boa ideia, operadora móvel prevenida vale por duas.

Como deveria ter sido? Uma pessoa não retardada diria que poderiam ter distribuído os impermeáveis em mão, à entrada do recinto. Ou que deveriam ter criado uma banca onde uma fila ordeira seria servida.

A realidade? Funcionários do evento a pavonearem-se pelo recinto a distribuir… toalhas de piquenique… agora sim posso chafurdar na lama em conforto.

Mais tarde, esses mesmos funcionários atirariam impermeáveis ao público como quem atira amendoins a macacos.

Ri-te, ri-te. Quando quiseres uma gabardina e os zombies vierem, vais chorar.

O resultado? Dezenas de pessoas a atacar funcionários que surgiam ocasionalmente com gabardinas para distribuir e centenas a tentar galgar a vedação do curral VIP onde aconteceu o maior espectáculo de tiro-ao-cliente da historia dos impermeáveis transparentes. E se a organização esteve mal, o público não esteve melhor: autênticos zombies com fome de carne humana… impermeável.

Os seguranças entraram em acção para fazerem o que melhor fazem, nada, e as pessoas, que pagaram bastante para ali estar, foram insultadas e continuaram ensopadas, à chuva. O cavalheirismo e o bom senso haviam abandonado por completo o recinto (devem ter seguido viagem com os Death Cab For Cutie ou perdido o avião para cá, como o James Ferraro).

Algures no meio dos espezinhamentos, cotoveladas e lama, uma inglesa gritava “we’re not fucking animals”.

Tens a certeza?

Pessoal a reciclar copos de plástico para fazer gabardinas para os amigos, que entretanto morreriam de hipotermia com a palavra “optimus” nos lábios.

GOOGLE TRANSLATES:
I thought I would never live to se a Zombie Apocalypse scene until this Saturday at thePrimavera Sound festival.
The rain fell relentlessly silly, and half the population was already soaked to the bone.
Interestingly enough, hipsters are not waterproof and as such it was necessary to refer toraincoats that went there to distribute.
All those hours preparing “altfit” to get that perfect look of “I’m shitting me for my” look for,all things considered, they were all dressed as giant condoms, to sway the grass and mud.
All different but all equal.

Optimus had thousands of waterproof raincoats to give away. Good idea, prevented the mobile operator is worth two.
As should have been? A retarded person does not say who might have given themimpervious to hand, into the enclosure. Or they should have created a bank where anorderly queue would be served.

The reality? Officials of the event to shoot raincoats as though I shot peanuts to monkeys.The result? Dozens of people attacking officials who came occasionally to distribute raincoats and hundreds trying to climb the fence of the corral where it happened VIP’s largest show of shot-to-customer history of waterproof transparent.

The security guards at work and people who paid to be there as well, were insulted and kept soaked in the rain.

Somewhere in the middle of the stampede, elbows and mud, an English woman shouted “we’re not fucking animals.”

Are you sure?

Back to the drawing board

WHAT? It was cold… and raining… and i needed a smoke… and it was really cold

So I decided I have a lot of useless stuff to say about video games and I really  need to get it off my chest.

So I accepted an invitation to join some buddies up at the A Arcada website.

They actually write about interesting stuff. I’m the comic relief.

So if you can read portuguese and are into stand down comedy, definitely check it out!

If you cannot read portuguese but can’t stay away from my awesome, breathtaking, brain impregnating writings… well, they invented Google Translate for a reason. Don’t be a slacker.

Will taste better listening to James Ferraro – Leather High School

Television Days

While chatting to a friend about her WebTV adventures I realized that, in the last 6 years,  i have garnered more experience on the television subject than I ever wanted to.

Working in front of cameras and mics has never really appealed to me, but i can’t deny I had fun.

So, here’s a little trip down memory lane. For laughs ;)
