ANYWAY. They were absolutely and fantastically incredible. They played some oldies but goodies, some of the new stuff…And might I say, they seem to be leaning a bit toward the…Hindu-inspired side? At least, it seemed to me. Kyo was sure swaying lots. @_@ *Shlick* I know, I shouldn’t let my hormones enrage, but he looked famn ducking spiffy!!!! They all did. They seemed to have so much fun tonight…I was so thrilled. Kyo said Chicago a couple of times. XD I was so excited!! I think one of my favorite parts of the concert (oddly enough) was at the end when he was going, “Last song!” And we’d scream, then he’d say, “Last SONG!” again and louder and it would go back and forth until HE was screaming and WE were screaming and it was fucking AWESOME!!!!!

The guys totally got into it tonight. The last couple of ones I was worried about the unenthusiasticness of it all, but they totally kicked ASS. Kyo did lots of chest pounding and kisses to his fingers, you know, like we’re homies. I guess they like Chicago?

The only down side of the night was the moshers. OMFG. I hate you guys. I really do. If you all died and rotted in hell, I would not feel bad. You totally ruin the show for people who want to watch *THE BAND* and not idiots like you who try to get the shit beat out of themselves. Not to mention I was knocked over, fell upon, knocked over again when I tried to get up and thrown (quite literally) out of the mosh area. Fine by me. I went and stood in back and jammed out. I could see far better anyway.

At the end, when they were all throwing stuff, it was so funny to see them throw all the picks and Shin throw frisbees and I got some of Die’s water in my mouth. 8D That sounds so dirty…but meh!

Again, so awesome, go see this show. OH! And I spoke with the lead singer of The Human Abstract. Dudes, they are really awesome guys, please support them. I’ve seen Diru…Five? Six times now? And they are, by far, the best openers I’ve seen.

I got a CD which Toshiya and Shinya signed!!! Members met: 3/5. Kaoru and Kyo, stop running from me!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If you happen to have other members, please let me know!! Alright guys. I hope your concerts are/were as much fun!

I wish I had the desire and energy and resources to update the site regularly. But I haven’t the time, energy or really, interest. It’s nothing to do with my lack of interest with Diru. Believe me, I love Kyo and the band just as much as when I first started all this, but I just have no time or energy anymore. Between working my two (sometimes three) jobs, my time is just dedicated to other things now.

You see, when this shit all started (ya know, when the Netrillifucks raped my site?), I was about thisclose to an open-closed site. The site was free for you to use and browse, but I wouldn’t update anymore. I think that’s what it’s come to. I’m going to remove all the graphics (or rather, broken images) and just make this an information site dedicated to Kyo. I’m not as creatively gifted as I was when I was making layouts all the time and I worked that part of my brain regularly. I haven’t made a new layout in ages (at any site) and it’s getting to me.

So, I want to clean up the site, get rid of the graphics and all that, and just leave basically the reads and resources. If people send in stuff, so be it. If not, I’m not going to worry about it anymore. I would love to have people still visit because I will always keep this site, I’m just not able to maintain it like it should be maintained…like it deserves to be. I can’t say this is permanent, but this is more or less the “official” announcement that there won’t be any updates for a while. I’d like to have a script that shows new releases and tour dates, but I haven’t even scratched that itch yet.

I also don’t know if I want to keep wordpress. It’s a right bitch to code, but it’s the only thing that saved all my pages from being deleted those months ago. It’s also much easier to update…Who knows.

Anyway, I just wanted to update…something. I really miss adding posts every twenty minutes because I just couldn’t stay away from the site, discussing my favorite things about Kyo, hearing feedback from those who also liked him…

But moving on…I want to try and fix up the site within the next few months and rework it so it’s definitely more appealing than this broken down thing that you see now. *Sighs* It’s like waking up to a shitty day after having a really great dream…

I could give the whole shpeal about how I had tons of other things going on in my life…I mean, I guess I did, but I still feel like I really neglected the site and I want to fix it, quickly…But we’ll see how far it goes.

Wish me luck…Please?

Fuck you, Netrillium. Fuck you Tina P and I hope your shit company fails and turns into a miserable piece of shit like it deserves.

Best of luck, Diru! ?

I’d been with Netrillium since 2006 and they started off wonderful. I’d have a problem, submit a ticket, get quick service and all was well. Then April 30, 2008 my domain went down. I submitted a ticket, they said it was a server transfer and then all would be well…that is, 24 hours after I sent the ticket. I then checked the site and it was still down. Another ticket submitted. I got a faster reply saying it was either an insecure script or someone had guessed my password and I had phishing pages in my site. I asked them to bring my site up so I could fix this. THREE days later they sent a reply, gave me fifteen minutes to respond, then brought my site down again. I emailed them, rather outraged, that it took them three days to reply and I was given fifteen minutes without them even setting up a time! I was ignored. I then decided to change hosts to Holdfire, who’s been extremely helpful in this mess…I can’t thank them enough. Over the course of weeks, I had to send more and more tickets, begging and pleading for them to accept the transfer request and each time was met with a more terse and unhelpful response and never an okay or even mention of the transfer. Half of the things I complained about or brought up (like having to open so many tickets as I was not able to view my other ones) were ignored. I went so far as to give them a detailed schedule so they knew what I was doing because I had “made no mention of it previously.” Again, ignored. The only thing they kept stating was that I had my EPP code and I could do anything I wanted with my site. SO UNTRUE! Finally, the 18th of May, 2008, they tell me they’re going to cancel my account and I need to make other provisions for my site. I was stunned! I’ve been trying to get away from them for over two weeks and they’re canceling my account?! Before I could even do anything (ie: make those “other provisions”), they deleted my files, databases, changed the WHOIS and falsified my EPP code. eNom won’t help me, ICANN won’t help me and the BBB won’t help me.

For the love of GOD, stay away from them.

I’ve gotten a few things back up and I’m trying my hardest to get them back up in a fairly timely manner. My worst section is going to be Kyo’s style. I have no idea how the hell I’m going to put that back together. The other thing I no longer have is fanart, so if you make any and feel like sending it in to me, please do so…

Thank you.

I know it sounds ridiculous…but I kind of feel raped. It’s going to take me a long, long while to rebuild the site…Hell, it took me years to get it to what it was.

I never thought I would have to start all over…

I’m sure you see tons of broken images and crap all around the site…I’ll try to clean it up as soon as I can…We’ll see what I have on my old computer that I can transfer over, but I don’t know how much of the old stuff I have saved on the old computer. Please forgive me for being gone for so long…
