Aura's Blog

I've been asked on numerous occasions the reasoning for my username changes, and it wasn't until I was recently interviewed by supreme kai, that I finally answered that question. So for any of those who missed the interview, I'm creating this blog post so that all may know. Here is the question asked, and my response:

Heading in another direction, what is it with you and changing your username?! Have you finally found your neo-identity and is this constant changing psychcode for something deeper?

Well there is actually a meaning behind the changes, oddly enough. I changed my username to suit what I was at the time, which seemed to be quite the mutable entity. Aura Smash was of course my original username, which I see as being the way I entered Neoseeker - I smashed into it. I then changed to Evolution, and lo and behold, my Neo-identity evolved into someth

It's been some time since I last made a blog post. I got the urge to blog again while I was just relaxing, listening to a couple of albums from a band that used to be one of my favourites way back when - Cradle of Filth.

The first album I listened to from Cradle of Filth was Damnation and a Day which was released in 2003, which had some awesome tracks such as: Hurt and Virtue, Carrion, Presents from the Poison-Hearted, Doberman Pharaoh, The Smoke of Her Burning, and many more.

I wasn't a huge fan of the "screamo" style vocals (is that the correct term?), but after reading through the lyrics of the songs, I knew this was a band I liked. For about a year or so I listened to Damnation and a Day on a daily basis, and also a few tracks here and there from Cradle of Filth's other albums. Not long after, I forgot all about them and moved onto other bands and genres of music.

Well it's offical, I have now been playing video games for 20 years. I can't even remember what the first video game I ever played was now, I do remember the first console game I ever played though. Anyway back in those days we played on the Atari and Commodore 64, some of you (maybe even most of you) might not even know what that is.

19 years ago I got a Nintendo, the first ever game played on a console was Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. When you're 3 years old that sort of thing is pretty cool, I tried playing it again today and it just didn't have the same effect.

So that's the point of my blog, it's my 20th year of video gaming today. I don't know whether I should be proud of that fact, or whether I should hang my head in shame.

Well that's it from me.

Well as the title implies it's my birthday today, the only thing is I don't know what to do. It's only the middle of the week so it's too early to go out partying and drinking. I was going to go scuba diving but judging by the weather, it's going to be too choppy. So that's my predicament, I need some good ideas on what to do today. Otherwise it's going to be one very boring birthday for me.
