A more meaningful banner...
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Mike says: Wow... Fiorentina and Lazio are back in Serie A while Juve's last two titles have been given to Intermilan and AS Roma. I feel that the Italian football league is way too freaking happening for me to keep track of especially this year. It makes good news though, for the new world champions. Anyway I was supposed to blog yesterday but due to personal problems I didn't feel too much like blogging. Not that I had the time either... -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- After Afi helped me redesign my blog, I've always felt that my blog's been missing something important. Something special. Something with that little extra stim. So after staring blankly at the computer screen for a couple of hours, I've concluded that the one thing my blog had been lacking was possibly the flashy flashy Las Vegas-y banner. I mean my old banner was hardly anything you'd remember from my blog, other than the fact it was total.. well... crap.. So I got to work on designing my new banner. But the one problem I was struggling with was the outlook of the banner. The entire shebang. That was until I was looking at my CD collection To me, this design was definitely special and one of a kind (well, maybe not one of a kind anymore) so I thought maybe I should personalise it a bit. The shadow the falling man was symbolic to the album because it marked the importance of Page Avenue to Story of the Year. That's where I took the idea for my own symbolic 'falling man' shadow. That's my trademark football skill, the rainbow. So I thought why not take that, cut out the scenery, add a Google Earth image of my own hometown on the background and, voila. Half of my banner was done. But something was still missing. I wanted to add a bit more of the MikeDotOrg touch to it, to personalise the banner even more. So what I did was put my face there. Eventually I found out that noone wanted to visit my blog anymore because the face was just too horrifying to look at so I cut out my tiger eyes and stuck it there, right next to my 'Page Avenue'. At the end of it all, I noticed the banner was still missing something that would complete it. I didn't know what it was at first. Maybe one of my favourite scenic shots, or maybe another picture of me. But nolah, enough pictures lah. What my banner needed now was a quote that would sum my blog up in one line. At the beginning of Avenged Sevenfold's song Bat Country, there's a famous quote by Dr Samuel Johnson who said, "He who makes a beast out of himself gets rid of the pain of being a man..." Well, need I say more about the beast bit? And there you go, one perfect banner that symbolises everything about me from the vain pot, to the metalhead, to the football lover to the accomplished copycat.

AS Roma got the title? i thought they were only giving the 2005/2006 title to Inter and the 2004/2005 title goes to nobody
i thought I heard they gave it to Roma... Ah doesnt matter lah.
the banner emphasises the need for you to get a haircut man
dude, u've just burned both my eyes.
it's freakier than any japanese horror movie.
Burned your eyes, eh? How so?
Ooo.. I must agree.. That's a better banner;) It kicks more ass than the last.
