Update in progress. Dogentricks.com will be in update purgatory for the next week or so, as I’m currently taking care of my beloved 晋也くん in the midsts of the overhaul. Small changes should occur daily, but I’ll make another announcement when things are completely done. Feel free to leave a comment right here on the main page – one of the excellent new functions. Thanks for the support!

For the time being, check out the new sampler:

Merry Christmas everyone! Best wishes to all. Updates will be done anytime now. Big shot out to Kibou from the forums for hooking me up with a hi-quality rip of the Mass of the Fermenting Dregs album! Thanks man!

Few more days.

Hello friends. My name is Dogentricks.com and this is my music. If memory serves me right (SERVE ME!) I wrote a brief entry about “Mass of the Fermenting Dregs” in August. Unfortunately there is no way to check August entries on this flawed website, so I’ll never know if I got served by my recollection or not.

In any case – I love Mass of the Fermenting Dregs and am sitting in front of my desk, 3:14 AM the day before a final, to tell you precisely why.

If you asked me to describe MOTFD in one of word I would laugh and say “impossible.” Moreover, I don’t think a standard music review would accurately capture my newfound attachment to this band or their incredible sound. Thus, I will tangent into a different topic which will hopefully wind it’s way back to Mass and the scale of their musical prowess.

I was the Rush chairman of my fraternity for two years and succeeded in recruiting a record number of new members each year. Membership effectively tripled during my term. This success was most likely due to the attitude and demeanor I dawned in dealing with potential members. That is, in order to recruit someone to a house that is literally full of broken windows and perma-stained bathrooms, projecting sociability is a must. Which is great because, I’m a really social guy. LOLNOT. I’m in fact an emo kid who sits in his room and listens to music all the time while crying.

Most people that know me know I love hanging out, talking over some nice food, and discussing the various curves which silhouette the opposite sex. Most people that really know me know I prefer training myself into a mental trance, listening to music in solitude, and dodging the countless calls of sexual nature to the extent my body allows. めんどうくさいし。

I certainly don’t come across as emo in the typical sense, nor do I promote of the stereotypical slick haired lifestyle, but perhaps I slip into the introverted niche in a certain abstract way. Make no mistake, I love talking with others and exploring the cornucopia (reference to the most recent holiday, nice) of opinions which populate our American society like ギャル in 渋谷. But more than that, I have an innate urge to wander the workings of my own mind in search of whatever obscurities may be found.

No matter how I act in front of others, I never feel myself. Why you ask, because of the contagious personality tweaks which always occur in the presence of >1 homo sapiens. You’re with your boys and you act like a man. You’re with the girls and you act like a bigger man and/or gentleman. You’re with your teacher and you act like a proper man. You’re with your family and you act like the man they want to you be.

You’re with yourself and you are your own. But, for me being alone is just a BIT too quiet and yens for something more. This is where music comes in – much as the presence of others shapes our personality, the presence of music shapes our emotions, our thoughts, and our actions. Specialized electrical currents driven through 1/8 inch aluminum sockets give me a chance to escape the self which others decide, and to do so with unbiased harmonic company. For me, the presence of music gives a stimulus to reach for the uncharted thoughts which occupy the corners of my mind, and to actively DO something with them. And thus I am writing an introspective-emo blog to hundreds of people who I will most likely never meet. rofl@dichotomy

Hello friends, my name is Dogentricks.com and I am listening to music at 4:14 in the morning and loving it. Tomorrow I will wake up, put on my friendly face, march to class, pass a final, and become another flowing number in society. But for the next 30 minutes I’ll choose my music and dictate my emotions. This morning I choose to feel “powerful.”

Mass of the Fermenting Dregs is a band capable of providing that.

Hello friends. A couple people from the forum inquired about the research paper I wrote for my Japanese linguistics class. My presentation is done, the paper is 出した、so I don’t think it’s possible for me to get in trouble putting it on the internet. For those interested, you can find the report here.

Hello friends. Dogentricks.com here.

One final down, one presentation down, 2 tests to go. I’ll have my Japanese literature test tomorrow, which should deftly land a kick between my knees – and my last final on Tuesday. Just a bit longer, 頑張る！ Train hard.

Probably my favorite supercar song, and probably the best song ever.
