i walked by a card and gift store today and sitting on the window sill was a coffee mug that said in cartoonish letters "Meshuggah" i thought it was pretty cool, but its only there cuz Meshuggah means crazy in hebrew and i guess its cool for middle aged jewish ladies to give it to eachother

No, I don't. I was stereotyping. I have listened to very little metalcore and what I heard I didn't like. Is Lamb of God metalcore? They're okay.

Hey, I'm back from my 2 week holiday in Cuba. The holiday was pretty good, but most of the time, it was boring. Also, I'm too lazy to go through about 40 pages that I havn't seen, so did anything special happen in the Metal Hell while I was gone?
