Take a good look at the blog title above What do you see?
I see 'opportunity'
Often in life Opportunity doesn't present itself But it's there You have to look for it With some tweaks and turns Opportunity could come out of nowhere

The third installment of Transformers will be out soon
This time without Megan Fox
Like previous two episodes
This episode also uses a Linkin Park song as the theme song
Transformers (2007) - What I've Done
Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (2009) - New Divide
Now we have
Transformers: Dark of the Moon (2011)
And the theme song - Iridescent
Iridescence actually means
The changing of colour of the surface of certain things when you look at it from different angles
Like soap bubbles
The inner surface of seashells
And peacock tails
The colour of these things seem to change
So does Linkin Park over the years
I've followed Linkin Park and their songs since they started
Back then
Their songs follow a certain format
Mike raps
Then Chester sings
Mike raps again
Then Chester sings again
Then Chester shouts
And finally Chester sings again
They were alternative back then
Alternative means appealing to only a special group of fans
While others would not like their songs
These days lots of people say that they went mainstream
Their songs became just like any pop songs you listen on the radio
Chester doesn't shout that often anymore
Made it easier on the ears
And that one thing that distinguished Linkin Park from other bands in the past
Was the use of two lead vocalists
Where one raps and one sings
This specialty was blurred these days
At times Mike's rap disappeared totally
In songs like 'Breaking The Habit', 'What I've Done', 'Shadow of the Day'
At times Mike is singing
Like in 'Iridescent'
At times Mike even sounded like Sean Kingston
Like in 'Waiting for the End'
And at times Mike actually even sounded like Chester
Which was unimaginable back then when they sound totally different
Like in the song 'The Catalyst'
Yes I do feel that they transformed in their recent songs
But that doesn't mean that they went mainstream
Despite the fact that their old songs could not be sang by other bands
Because it involves too much shouting that only Chester could handle
While their new songs sounded like everybody could sing it
Their lyrics remain one of a kind
They write their own songs which has meanings unique only to them
Linkin Park is iridescent
They changes and transforms
We should be iridescent too
We should also change and transform according to times
Lyrics:
When you were standing in the wake of devastation when you were waiting on the edge of the unknown with the cataclysm raining down, insides crying save me now you were there and possibly alone. Do you feel cold and lost in desperation you build up hope, but failure's all you've known remember all the sadness and frustration and let it go, let it go. And in the burst of light that blinded every angel as if the sky had blown the heavens into stars you felt the gravity of temper grace falling into empty space no one there to catch you in their arms Do you feel cold and lost in desperation you build up hope, but failure's all you've known remember all the sadness and frustration and let it go, let it go. let it go let it go let it go let it go Do you feel cold and lost in desperation you build up hope, but failure's all you've known remember all the sadness and frustration and let it go, let it go.
