Punkdisasters.com has come to an end. The website I've been visiting since 2004. From blink-182 to random bands. Thank you, Punkdisasters.Punkdisaster.com. It all started when I just got to know blink-182, from 2004 and up till today. It’s the website which contains the most updated information regarding blink-182 and its members in the World Wide Web. Every day I would have to visit it, right after I reached home and before I go to sleep. It’s an everyday routine. But today, I found out that Punkdisasters has come to an end. The news I would get from this website is post-blink-182 “hiatus” to the forming of Angels & Airwaves and Plus-44 and then right to the forming of blink-182. And not only that, there’s information like their side project, Boxcar Racer, Transplants and Hi! My Name is Mark podcast. And not forgetting, there is the forum, a place where blink-182 fans would gather and talked about the new information, the good and bad points, or we’ll talked about random stuff. I’ve got to admit, tons of blink-182 fans found there which are cool, handsome or pretty, informative people from all around the globe loving for just one band, and that is blink-182.
If I’m not wrong, in 2008, the website went over a new revamped. It doesn’t contain information about blink-182 only but about other bands as well. Here is where everything started to go wrong and a bad move indeed. 75% of the population visiting the website would be blink-182 fans, 20% of the population would be other bands fans and the 5% would, and I probably should say, be blink-182 hater fans. We blink-182 fans would constantly post new information about blink-182, be it small or big, it will be at the headline. But the 25% visitor, non-blink-182 fans of course, would start to say that some of the information is non-informative at all. In our eyes, Punkdisasters will and always be main blink-182 website. And in the forum, constant argument can be found between the lovers and haters. The haters would bash and flame how maybe Tom Delonge got a suck voice or blink-182 was a crap band, etc but we, the lovers would stand up and defend what we think is right (Well, I got to admit that sometimes Tom Delonge voice turn out suck but not most of the times. And this only happens when he is performing during a free live video.).
Ever since that revamped, the website has been less appealing for me. Nonetheless, I would visit it to see what new bands to check out, any new news regarding blink-182 or just to waste my time at the forum. There’s like 300-plus information that I talked about roughly regarding the story of Punkdisasters.com. It’s more of a history sort according to my own words.
Done with the history, here are some things about me and that website:
1) I got “free” songs from that website by the forumers. A good place to discover new bands and oh not forgetting, BOOTLEGS! Used to have tons of blink-182 bootlegs, from different years, different venues and maybe a different position of the audience but I lost them when my hard disk crashed.
2) Each time I have done “getting” the songs; I would say ‘Thank You’. It’s one of my strategies to increase my rank. You see, each time you post, your posting rank will increase every hundreds or thousands posts. I’ve gotten like 6000+ posting over my 8 years at there. Pretty stupid but it’s one of the fun factor about being at the forum that is to get higher rank than the others.
3) I like a girl at the forum and her name is Jessika Violence. Reasons are: She is blink-182 fans, she got a lip-piercing, she’s pretty/sexy and she’s famous! She’s one of a hardcore blink-182 girl fans constantly talking at the forum.
4) This may not be important, but I gave this website to two of my close friends and hardcore blink-182 fans… *drumroll… Ivan Lim and Sakinah! Honestly, I was stingy with this website. I think it’s a very good website that can only be shared with minor people. And there, they have it! Hahahaha!
P.s. Reason why I kept saying blink-182 instead of just blink is because it will be different band already. Blink-182 is Blink-182 while blink is blink. *peace

Bad, It's Bad Points.
Everyone got a bad side of them. It’s either not willingly you are showing them or you are really doing it. The reason for me writing what I’m about says is because it’s what I have discovered on the journey to Port Dickson. I think, I said THINK, there’s this particular person that is bad towards me but somehow not showing them. I’m not going to say because it’s just a small stuff.
Instead of talking about people, I want to say about myself. I have a lot of bad points and I do know most of them and some I might not notice it yet. The first one I got to say is that I’m pretty much a selfish guy sometimes. Like during the journey to Port Dickson, I only care for my own comfort inside the 14 seater bus. Yes, the place I was sitting was squeezes because I was sitting with Zaki on this “smaller-a-bit-chair-for-two-people”. Zaki is quite a buff up guy and I’m just medium and that seat really not meant for us and more meant for two girls. However, on the way home, I was totally irrites with the squeezes that I changed position with the other guys at the back. But because of my action, Ayie and Zaki need to changed position as well. My intention was just too changed with one guy but 3 guys move infront while me, Ayie and Zaki moved to the back. (I do hope you all understand my English and can imagine how the situation like is.)
The next bad thing about me is that sometimes I’m just straight-forward. Being straight forward sometimes means to say something that isn’t to someone liking. A very good example would be when someone is late, not like 5 to 10 minutes late but more than that. Like… I’m already at the meeting place and the person is just about to leave their house. Seriously and honestly, I hate entertaining this things and I wouldn’t bother to meet them at all. Azeela coined the name “Beast” for me because how I would become one when someone is late. I don’t mind waiting for a very long queue but I do mind if you are not on time and the best part is that you still at home while I’m already at the place. I said all these, but I got to admit, I’m sometimes late but heck, not all the times. And one more thing about being straight-forward, I had to said something out clear and hard so that people can understand that what they kept saying are bothering me too much.
There you go, some of my bad points. If I do have some others, do tell me. Will try to see what I can do to make myself better. Thanks!
