Newgrounds.com — Everything, By Everyone.

So, finally after two months of nothingness and technological fails, I have managed to get some new software and put it on a fossil of a computer. I laugh, because this computer is so slow, simply opening the internet is a hassle, yet Cubase and FL Studio seem to be running better than on my swift (yet unreliable and possibly dead) laptop. I haven't had much of a chance to work on really anything lately, but I have been experimenting like hell. Hopefully, I'll be able to actually work on and complete a project sometime soon. In the meantime, I have other matters to attend to. First off, reviving Cognition Vault.

We had a chance to write out a short intermission track reminiscent of Antigen, but that's just the thing. It's short. Badass nonetheless, but it has so much potential to be so much more. Oh well, maybe we'll remake it some time, as a full length song. Yes, Antigen's getting the same treatment, so no worries. There's no way we can't recreate that one; it made us who we are.

Anyways, Tino and I are doing our best to keep the project alive. We're just dealing with a lot right now. :P So patience, little bunnies! Your carrots are on the way. Or lettuce. Or whatever you're in to..? Gah, I'm tired and drifting off to dream land again. Enjoy this list of crappy new stuff from an epically crappy band (... and myself. But we'll just exclude me, won't we?).

In other news, I will be taking a short break from online life due to personal matters. I should return within the next few weeks. Peace out, people.

'Stigma: Uprising' is the introduction to a story that will span over a course of 1000 years, and will detail the beginnings of a new race and their influence on the world. It's a story of rebellion, hate, and choice. Let's delve deeper into the world of this story around the dawn of this new species, 'Sanguise Omega.'

The year is 2178, and the human population has been on a murderous conquest for control over themselves for the past 127 years. War has misshapen the earth, leaving most areas uninhabitable for those who somehow did survive the initial 'cleansings'. The earth is now a hostile place for any human to live in, but thanks to science the human population keeps becoming more durable. Genetic enhancements are now a culturally accepted idea in this world, and with each enhancement, this human race becomes more unstable. Slowly, it seems, they are receding into a more primal state governed by voilence and control. As technology grows, the humans become more volatile...

What was once a battle for control now became a race for their own self-extinction, and nobody was doing anything to stop it. Crime was at it's peak, and whatever government or law enforcement was left did nothing to try to dull the anarchy. Like cowards, many of the 'important' people in an area ran for the hills, and were never heard of again. Jobs were slim, currency no longer mattered, life no longer mattered. It was as if people were born into this world to destroy themselves...

Cultural growth was now controlled purely by machine. Media, clothing, everything; It all lacked the soul, the inspiration that used to come with it when humans controlled these areas. 'Liquid', a music genre combining all of the sounds of past music and adding a more technological tone to them, was probably the most complex idea pulled off by an AI, named M.S. 'BlackStatic'-92.

As humanity holds on by a thread, constantly enhanced with new serums and cybernetics, an unseen force watches, waiting for the right time to begin their ascent to power. Waiting for the world to fall apart. Waiting to give humanity a choice...

The time be 3:33...
There ain't nobody as tired as me.
I haven't slept for days,
and my mind is whack.
I try to rest,
but get annoyed by the lack.
What's the lack?
I don't know,
but I do understand
to go with the flow.
I hate to rap,
so I do it now.
With a gerbil in my brain
and a squirrel that can bow.

-Genre Change-

CEREAL IS MY ANTIDOTE!!!
ESPECIALLY THE ONES WITH LOTS OF OATS!!!
THEY MAKE ME SHIT,
MY SOUL CAN CRY!!!
I MOVE LIKE AN ANT,
BUT SOAR LIKE A FLY!!!

-Genre Change-

The buffalos live in an-ar-chy.
While Bowser beats the shit outta me.
I feel his knee digging into my chest,
his spiked kneecaps tearing through my vest.
DEEEEEEPRIVITY!!!!
DEEEEEEPRIVITY!!!!

SLEEP!!!

-Pause-

3:43, mind mind drifts in and out
Imagination blazing just like a watespout.
So blink my eyes, turn left to right,
ignoring fake beings in my sight.
3... 2... 1... Go...

-Genre Change-

SOMETHING YET NOTHING,
EVERYWHERE AND NOWHERE!!!
BLAH BLAH BLAH BLABBITY BLEEP!!!
ALL I SEE IS LITTLE BLACK SHEEP!!!

.....

.....

Yep, I just spaced out right there... I'M DONE!!!

Oh yes, my mind has finally CRACKED!!! I'm seeing squirrels in everlasting gang-wars, and I hear a man attempting a horse whinnie, and failing hilariously, in one of 'Ministry's songs. It's all quite scary/amusing/WTF?, and I really don't care. It's 5:21 AM, and all I can think about is sleeping. I can't, though, because all of the insanity... The lack of noise, the random whinnie returns, the squirrels were really in my head. Plus, I haven't slept in three days, so I think I've finally reached the point of no return. I cannot sleep, because my body feels trained to withstand many nights of 'anti-sleep', I believe.

DAMN YOU, INDUSTRIAL MUSIC!!! ... Not really... I'm sorry for losing my temper... -hugs Industrial music- There, now we both feel better. Sorry for pissing on you, I just realized that. Hmmm... This must be a side effect of actually touching you... Why is there an afro on that fire hydrant? Oh god, that wave is sending guitar blasts towards me... Should I sidestep, or get engulfed? ... Eh, what the hell... -Get's swept off by guitar blast wave- I'M IN CHIKLET LAND!!!

Wow, that wave was refreshing. I feel like headbutting a concrete wall now. Ouch... I instantly regret that action... That was... Tasty... WHY IS THE WALL MADE OF COCOA PUFFS??? AND WHY IS BOWSER HUMPING IT??? Oh god, the eels are defecating... And the... Eskimos are enjoying their tans? Nothing makes sense anymore... I have seen what normal eyes should never see; The Treestump at Midnight! Whoa, Legend is farting again... Time to record him howling to 'Bohemian Rhapsody'.

Why was the ceiling edible? I licked it, and it tasted like bubble gum... So I took a bite, and it was dry-wall again... I have been trying to get the taste out of my mouth with a cordless phone. ... This next message is to all children who try to follow in my footsteps... I took a shit in every one of them, so don't bother. The penguins, though they were green, are not worth the shitty journey.

You see, THIS is what happens when a crazy person is deprived of sleep! The germans get all angry, and dropkick him. THANKS, RAMMSTEIN!!! I WILL CHERISH THE BRUISES YOU INFLICTED UPON MY FRAIL BODY!!! Now... Sing me 'Mein Teil' so I can remember that story I read of the Rohtenburg Cannibal again! -Music plays- Wait... WHAT??? The gay cannibal feasted on the gay willing victims testes? AND I HEARD THIS STORY EARLIER??? Oh, no, that was the story of the gerbils in revolt.

Dun... Dun... Dun... Pickle-Power... Dun... Dun...

-Slams face on keyboard-

FUCK, THE BUTTON BEFORE 'S' FELL OFF!!! ... So did the one before 'X'... The one before 'H' too... And 'E'. ... Wait... A... Z... G... Yep, I'm losing my eyesight too...

-Four minutes later...-

I have here a common household katana. With this katana, I am going to fight off this 'Sandman', because his ways just piss me off. It is said that he reveals himself as you close your eyes, and he then replaces himself for your bed. So, I am going to blindfold myself and stab the shit out of my 'bed'. I will not stop until this effer dies... Now, the blindfold... Ir ud in nt fsvr/ LRY YJE SYANNIMG BRHIN@@@ -Jumps 'bed'- DIE DIE DIE -slash slash slash- YEARGH, DIE BY MY PIRATE HAND!!! -impale- Yes, I feel the warmth of his blood!!! -removes blindfold- ... Oh, sh-

- This insane rant was created in pure boredom, and slight insanity. Only one squirrel was harmed in the making of this... well, straight retarded act of insanity. May the peanut butter be with you and sleep well, because I sure as hell won't. -
