America Takes Another Step Forward
http://www.cnn.com/2014/08/21/justice/florida-same-sex-marriage/index.html

Last week in Florida the ban on Same-Sex Marriage was lifted, being recognized as unconstitutional. Florida became the 19th State to give its citizens this right.

The fight for Same-Sex Marriage has been on a roll lately. Florida has become part of the 13+ states to legalize this type of marriage in the last two years.

Hopefully America's momentum on the subject will continue to power through the next few years. Marriage is a human right that should be given to everybody without question.




Be Careful Who You Give your Money to

Not comfortable with buying something from someone you don't know online? Your suspicion is not unjustified. 

Front-man of heavy-metal band Nachtmystium, Blake Judd, handles the funds for merchandise, and has reportedly been ripping off fans. Judd has reportedly taking funds from fans without mailing back the purchased item. 

There have been many cases of him doing this in the past, but this has become a especially big problem recently considering they just released a new album. Possibly being tired of having to make excuses for the absences of his items, he deleted the band's social media pages. 

No one has heard from Judd since.

Although Judd is the only one at fault, hopefully now people will try to become more aware of who they order from that's not a official business.

Pantera Reunion Shot Down by Former Drummer Vinnie Paul?

Pantera Reunion Shot Down by Former Drummer Vinne Paul?

Legendary metal band, Pantera has disbanded about 12 years ago and December will mark the 10th anniversary of the death of the guitarist Dimebag Darrell.

Fans are pressuring a Pantera reunion with Zakk Wylde to replace Vinnie's brother, Dime. Vinnie has always been against his former band's reunion but when the subject was brought back up at a recent interview, he was obviously angered.

He claims that his fans are being selfish for trying to get him to do something he doesn't think should be done and asks, "If Eddie Van Halen was to get shot in the head four times next week (the cause of his brother's death), would everybody be going, 'Hey, man, Zakk, go play for Van Halen, then just still call it, Van Halen."

In the end, it was his band, so he should be able to decide what should be done with its' legacy, not the fans.

About Me

My name is Noah Carrell and I am a junior at Roosevelt High School. The things I love to do are watch professional wrestling, watch movies and shows, listen to music, and play guitar.

I have a mom, dad, big brother, twin brother, a little brother, a dog, a cat, and fish. I'm hoping all of my fish die soon because I'm tired of taking care of them.

I've played guitar for 5 years now and practice constantly. Every once in a while I play a show at the House of Bricks.

 I am influenced by bands like Judas Priest, Pantera, Metallica, and Pearl Jam. My favorite genre of music is metal, but I like to listen to other genres as well as long as they have good guitar parts.

I enjoy Japanese culture and TV shows. I have been to Japan once and hosted 2 students at my house and have formed a bond to them, so I am trying to become fluent in the language.

 I'm also a huge fan of Nintendo and their games are basically the only ones I play. If I don't get the new Smash Bros when it comes out someones going to have to pay.


I watch wrestling programs such as TNA and WWE almost every-time they're on. I like these because my favorite types of stories are suspenseful and have action.

I've tried to play sports in the past and have participated in Baseball and Basketball for a while, but I was never very good. I never watch sports when they are on TV.
