In Honor of Baknoy's Query

As promised on the "Age of Innocence" comments'...it would be an honor to answer baKNOY's queries. He wasn't the first to ask but I guess it would be the time to tell about the evolution of "metal_ears". Just the fun of it, ok?
To quote baKNOY's' comment: "hmm..tanong ko lang.. are we suppose to grow out of that? if so, when? and why is your blog black? and why is it called metal ears? do you really have metal ears? are they heavy? do they hurt? why am i asking so much? oh my. go...i haven't grown out of it yet... and im already 21..hehehe peace metal! babe is cool. he's a pig, and he talks. nuff said! have a nice day."
To answer: Q: Are we suppose to grow out of that? (i guess, referring to the perpetual questioning of a child) - surely no, we aren't suppose to grow out of that. Life is a never ending conquest for truth. From the Nike ad: " There is no finish line!". Q: If so, when? - No, no, no please...don't stop asking questions. Dead brains only do that. Q: And why is your blog black? - Well, from the basic Web Design tips, "try colors, styles and fonts that compliment each other"...Since metal_ears is my alias, surely i would go with the color that represents metal (pink will be a no, no). I thought of silver, nah (too dry)...blue, hmm...could be, black? why not...a lot of metal sites have black backgrounds, and red often comes with it...yes, Black, a Red and Gray with a little touch of Yellow and Sky Blue. White font. Q: Why is it called metal ears? - Here it goes, when i was in 2nd year high school, i got this old CBS Sony heavy metal tape (various artists) from a friend. It was a good selection tape with likes of Cheap Trick, Aerosmith, Heart, Boz Scaggs, Ted Nugent, Euclid Beach Band, Bruce Springsteen and so on. It was so good, i really liked it. But the thing is, the tape's case was lost so i have to provide one and replenish the cover. I did a little drawing for the cover with some colors then thought of a title..."Selection" doesn't sound good, "Various Artists"...nah, too common, so i thought of...why not "For Metal Listeners". Title still lengthy so i finally thought. "Metal Ears". Yeah, sounds good...that's it..."METAL EARS". (corny no?...hahaha). But at least me pinagmulan. From then on, i kept the name (and kept the tape, too...it's sooo old, but still cool). Q: Do you have metal ears? - Yeah, i think so, not only that, even my heart posses that...i love heavy metal (from 19 kupongkupong 'til now). People say, too loud, noise pollution, addicts' sounds, I say to them "oh yeah, up yours, fuck your disco !" Q: Are they heavy? - Yeah, "unliterally", yeah...really heavy. Q: Do they hurt? - Absolutely nope...in fact, feels even better, it's anti-gravity, man! Q: Why am i asking too much? - Sure, baKNOY...because you're cool and normal. You still have that child within...like most of us.

To baKNOY, many thanks, bro...this post was inspired by you!
