Well, Portnoy was just Dream Theater. I've heard hr was pretty much a dick sometimes, but you see: Portnoy leaves and Dream Theater has no inspiration anymore to write good material. Same for their liveshows. I saw Portnoy this march with Transatlantic; Dream Theater can only dream about putting up a show like that. Verstuurd vanaf mijn GT-I9505 met Tapatalk

Nah, you're still "rocking out", the problem is that you're listening to the wrong Dark Tranquillity... Meshuggah was great, though Kidman's voice sounded tired. They played some old stuff, songs from Contradictions Collapse and None, as well as two from Chaosphere. New Millennium Cyanide Christ was a high point. BTBAM played well, but I couldn't stand their melodies, thought their songwriting choices were self-indulgent and counterproductive, the screaming vocals were weak, and the drummer made too many easy, safe decisions. So I suppose that despite their obvious skill, they've reinforced my belief that they suck.

That was pretty much my beef with BTBAM, over-indulgent and contrived over-the-top "progressions" just for the sake of it. They just mash a whole bunch of unrelated shit together thinking that it makes them sound artsy, but all it does is display how superficial and pointless their music is. And yes, the vocalist sucks, that is an objective observation, as he has poor technique ans tone and that has nothing to do with me not liking his style. Sent from my HTC PH39100 using Tapatalk 2

Just came back from a capoeira demonstration and initiation, it was quite intense. Watching the second half of the Belgium-Russia World Cup game now

[Midi]

Indeed. We got some strong players, but they barely play as a unit. De Bruyne and Mertens are a few of the only players who can create a more dynamic game

Belgium does have 11 "I's" in their team :') Verstuurd vanaf mijn GT-I9505 met Tapatalk

Yep. 1-0 now, although we didn't deserve it

Aw man, would have loved to see that.

Aw man' date=' would have loved to see that. [/quote'] If you ever get the chance to see Transatlantic, just go. No matter what price they ask (mine tickets was around 45 euros, which is pretty expensive for a concert). Those guys are just truly amazing live. I cried several times at that show, unbelievable.

I don't know what you are doing with your life, but the world cup is surprisingly so far Spain is already knocked-out and Costa Rica a round further. And on top of that, there are a lot of attractive matches to watch

That match against The Netherlands...ultimate revenge for us

Everything's scheduled for Europe. Ik moet naar Nederland verhuizen! (What's the difference between using zou/zou moeten/moeten, anyway? I looked up the word for "should" and was bombarded by too much information, as usually happens when studying a language.)

And yes, you should at least come for another year. They played two nights here And haha, 'zou' is a past form from 'zullen'. A form of 'zullen' do you add when you are talking about the future. And when you don't add it into a sentence, you talk about the present, like you did. "Ik moet naar Nederland verhuizen" = exactly the same as "I should move to the Netherlands". Damn, dutch is a pretty hard language to explain, I can't explain it better as this, haha

[Syuurin]

Well, the reason I was asking about zou specifically is because I see a lot of sentences like "Ik zou moeten...." translated similarly as "I should". An example that comes to mind is "Je zou moeten slapen" being translated as "you should sleep".

It doesn't make any difference in dutch when you say "Je zou moeten slapen" or "Je moet slapen". English is easier in this case, since you only have the word "should"

I should be catching the US-Portugal match tonight. Church was nice, they baptized a cute baby.

[Frostaudn]

I failed a course because of a spelling mistake

[Syuurin]

Babby! I've never been sure how I feel about the whole baptizing children thing.

Jup' date=' it's just a small nuance that I can't really explain. You have to pick it up indeend

Reporting. Bwuh, it's just my stupid own fault, but it feels so shitty.

[Syuurin]

It's silly that a spelling mistake would have that much of an effect though. :/

Well, since I'm studying journalism, spelling is essential. And the teacher I had for this course, is also teacher "Dutch spelling and grammar".

[Syuurin]

I can see why they would want to encourage careful editing, but still, that's tough. You'll have to retake it, I assume?
