Hi all, mitch is back again(uh-oh) this time to write to you about my favourite band. METALLICA.
And a little bit of trouble they had in the year 2000. Now i would just like to make it known that i do not really want to write about this subject at all, the only reason i am doing it is because my mum suggested i should, and for some reason mum's are always right.

This little problem that metallica had that i'm talking about was that in the year of 2000 they discovered that a copy of their demo "i disappear" had been going around the napster file-sharing network. They looked into it and realised that all their music was freely available on the site,for everyone and anyone to purchase.

they immediately sued napster and demanded that three hundred thousand of their users be banned from the site.eventually metallica and napster figured out an out of court agreement that led to many napsters user accounts to be shut down.

I personally don't really know which side to take, on one hand metallica spent hours and hours and hours recording their albums and loads of effort into making music just for it to be given out freely on the big E, like those samples you get in woolworths.
on the other hand if i was rich as they are, i probably wouldn't care.

There's a sweet site that covers the metallica controversy in a rather humourous and funny way it is.: http://www.campchaos.com/show.php?iID=21
warning:this site may make some viewers laugh hystericaly and die. watch at own risk.

cheers mitch.

hi everyone, it is i the greatest of all bloggers Mr Mitch Mcdonough.
Lately i've been reading this book, it is called hitch hikers guide to the galaxy. You may or may not know it, if you do you're probably like me, popular,funny, intelligent etc. If you don't know it then you're probably the type of person who sits hunched up in a chair in their house with all the lights turned off reading books about how to raise a healthy wombat, even though they do not own one.(In other words you're mental.)

The story begins when Arthur Dent, resident of earth is whisked away by his friend Ford Prefect (who is really an alien) seconds before the planet is destroyed by the evil vogons, which is slightly inconvinient seeing as if the planet had stayed intact for another five minutes the whole galaxy would have known the answer to the ultimate question of life the universe and everything.

somehow the two end up on the vogons ship and are thrown out into space.Where they are accidently picked up by the president of the galaxy Zaphod Beeblebrox and his stolen ship the heart of gold.

Arthur adventures far and wide with characters such as slartibartfast the old magrathean who builds coastlines for planets, Frankie and benjy the two mice that created the world and marvin the manically depressed robot.
overall the book is a great book, with great humour a lot of strange characters and a whole heap of meaningless coincedences.

you'll be laughing out loud, even if you are one of those people who sits at home hunched up in a chair with all the lights turned off reading books on how to raise a healthy wombat even though they don't own one.

anyway that's all from me so i'll see you later on the planet of damogran on that little island which by a completely meaningless coincidence was called france.bye.

hey everyone me again, it is five past one on friday and im BORED. somebody tell me what to do, although if anyone suggests anything it justs sounds BORING so i'm just going to write something. Here goes. Once upon a time there lived a turtle, the turtle's name was jimmy and he was very slow. OH GOD that was horrible.....hold on, I just had a philosophical discussion with my all powerful mother, and I am completely healed of boredom!! Mum found a really good quote on boredom but I don't want to quote it, so you will have to go to her site to find it.

Hi everyone my name is mitch i am 12 year old homeschooler, and this is my first ever blog exciting isn't it, not really but oh well. So anyway here we go on a perilously boring journey of what i've been doing lately.

I know, you're all dying to know what i did last friday , but hold on don't make me go to fast otherwise you might really die.(of boredom).
Friday. I am woken up by my brother, who is walking around the room scanning stuff with his STUPID, RIDICULOUSLY ANNOYING, MADE-OUT-OF-COWMANURE scanner. I know already getting exciting isn't it , alright so up i get up, jump in the bathroom before dad does, put my new metallica CD in my CD player which for some reason i always keep in the bathroom (weird). Off with the boxers and into the shower. i'm usually in the shower for about half on hour and then i just stand there and listen to the music for maybe ten minutes.

Once i'm out of the shower it's two bowls of corn flakes, and then i've got to pack my lunch for the china group which is usually only a sandwich. into the silver mercedes(otherwise known as the hyundai sports wagon) and we're off. Forty-five minutes later we arrive at official china group HQ. Fiona's house is the best spot to hold the drugs, i mean to hold the china group. Damn i did it again. Alright everyone i want you to imagine a pendant on a chain swinging in front of your eyes. Now read this sentence 10 times. YOU DID NOT HEAR ANYTHING ABOUT DRUGS. Good now where was i . . . oh thats right we have just arrived at fiona's house.

we parked our car and i see this giant dude walk out of the front door of the house. That's Grant. He is gigantic. And people say i'm tall. "hi grant" i shout "hey mitch" he calls back. Now if at this point in my story you are so bored that your mouth is hanging open, you are drooling everywhere and your brain has turned into some gooey form of sludge, then please feel free to leave your computer and do something else. Although i must warn you it gets much more exciting from here on (NOT).

At the china group we did some stuff. . . . let me give you a quick run through.
Me, Grant and Wes all go down to the park which is just down the road from Fiona's house but as soon as we get we get called back by my mum.

Next it's into the kitchen to make some chinese tucker, all i do is stand there for half an hour while i watch the kettle boil, fantastic.

We eat the food that we made, there's everything from prawn rolls to swiss crackers, it was deeeelicious with a capital R.

After that we went down to the park had a full on hardcore luge race. For those of you who are to brainless to know what a luge race is, it is a race between two or more persons who sit down on their skateboards and ride down a hill whilst pushing your opponents off their skateboards.

"see ya everyone time to go to JOLT", jolt is my youth group that i go to at my church ccc church that is. I play guitar at jolt and if you live within a one billion mile radius i suggest that you come ( friday night 7.30 at ccc church in the theatre building). After i've got my guitar ready(a beautiful purple Ibanez) and my amp packed up, we pick up my good friend the J-bomber(jaydon) he's a jolt sound guy.

At 5.00 we arrive and make our way into the cafe which is outside the theatre but we're not aloud in yet because of the STUPID, RIDICULUOSLY ANNOYING MADE-OUT-OF-COWMANURE dancers. Their always in there and their always out late. Finally we're let in and we begin the big set-up of the stage. And then it happened, the peak of my day, the point of the day were i get to smash something that's extremely valuable and that isn't mine. Our lead guitarists guitar. "hey jordi can i have a go of your guitar " "sure dude" "thanks"

For a long time now i've been trying this trick.To swing a guitar around my neck, it's probably not the smartest thing to do but it looks so cool so thats my excuse. But the problem is my guitar strap isn't clip on so if i tried it with my guitar the thing would come off and well . . . i don't really need to explain. But Jordi's guitar does have a clip-on strap so i can try it with his, the thing is sometimes clip-on straps can come off to. If a bolt comes loose on the bit that clips on then it just works as a normal strap, and today was the day that that bolt had decided to come loose.

"Everybody stand clear" and then i chucked it, it was gone there was now nothing i could that could stop this huge chunk of wood and metal flying around dangerously close to my head. If you are reading this and haven't already fallen asleep at your computer in which case you won't be reading this, and you own a guitar do not try this. No seriously don't. Back to the guitar. it's a quarter of the way round. Half the way round. three quarters of the way round.BANG. Off comes the guitar and it crashes headfirst into the ground.

overall the guitar was okay and jordi wasn't angry at me although he had to retune it, because when you drop a guitar on its head it goes out of tune and stays out of tune for a very long time.
An hour later and everythings ready the stage is set the lights are all working and we are ready to rock. The doors are opened and 100 joltsters come streaming through the doors toward the stage where me and the rest of the band members await them. And then we ROCK. The guitarists are going mental. Mitch(our drummer) is smashing his drum kit like there's no tommorow. Nick(bass player) is plucking his strings so hard that if i was one of them i'd look like my grandma by now.

After that we play some games, Benny K the leader of jolt preaches an amazing message as usual,home,dinner then bed and sleep.

so there you have it my first blog, hope you enjoyed it .
by the guy who people say is tall but really isn't as tall as the guy who came out of fiona's where we hold the drugs i mean the china group.Not again.
