I remember the saga of the myspace girl all too well! :lol:

Me and my girlfriend have gone through a few rough patches (The Friend, "I'm pregnant") but we've patched them up. We handle ourselves very well. I know this isn't a passing fancy. There is a deeper connection between us, I think...I know that if times got bad we would pick ourselves out of the muck. I can't quite explain it, it's intangible.

That song would so so much better if your tone was thicker and if you played some of the notes in the begining melodies cleanly. I like that acoustic bit in the middle of the song, but it just kinda jumped out of no where, which I thougth made it cooler in the whole idea of the song.

I'musing mysmaller amp so that I can record at full volume without shaking the house down and a Jackson DKMGT with upgraded Seymour Dunan pickups. I just got the adapter for my amp modeler yesterday though so I'll be using that in the future. If you've heardmy previous recordings, the tone here is miles above.

Oh, I have heard them heh.

If you would use the larger amp for recording, your recordings will sound oh so much better though.

And also doesn't the DKMGT come with HZ EMG's? And any clue to as what model Seymour Duncan's that are in it now?

Never heard of those models before...but Seymour Duncan's make some great pup's.

Did you put them in, or did it already come like that? Because if the EMG HZ's were still in it you should have just stuck with those. Even though they are passive they give off killer sound on Jackson's with a tone that has some edge and thick sound to it.

No, Bush is most certainly seen as bad. Most of this country hates him (don't be fooled by the election; Most of the people who hate him weren't old enough to vote, which could be a sign of hope).

I think another main reason that nothing has happened is because the revolution in the late-60's also stemmed from breaking away from the 50's and the early 60's, which was an ultra-conservative and uptight time period (culturally) in American history. With the advent of the internet and MTV and such, I think that it's not so much the case anymore (but I could be mistaken there).

Sounds just like what happened in the US election.

George Bush was one of the least popular presidents in recent memory (probably since Jimmy Carter in the late-70's, I'd imagine), yet won because the Democrats nominated John Kerry, the one man who makes Al Gore look lively and personable. The most distressing thing about Bush in office is the alarming rise of Fundamentalist Christians who wind up gaining power. I can't even begin to go into how stupid and bigoted these white-trash retards are.

As it is right now, the Democrats don't have their **** together, and the Republicans are as depressing as ever. And the thought of a third party with any influence is laughable at best.

I have trouble sometimes, more with the vegan side of things. She's not the artsy type to be covered in paint and have stupid ideas about the world, more she is extremely cultured in the world of the arts. The vegan is tough sometimes though. She eats ice cream occasionally but no cheese. She does eat eggs but they're eggs... Her parents are old hippies and they live off of the electric grid and her dad makes baskets for a living. Baskets that he sells at places like Saks Fifth Avenue. It's a strange contrast of modern consumerism and hippy-ness in that family.

I have trouble sometimes, more with the vegan side of things. She's not the artsy type to be covered in paint and have stupid ideas about the world, more she is extremely cultured in the world of the arts. The vegan is tough sometimes though. She eats ice cream occasionally but no cheese. She does eat eggs but they're eggs... Her parents are old hippies and they live off of the electric grid and her dad makes baskets for a living. Baskets that he sells at places like Saks Fifth Avenue. It's a strange contrast of modern consumerism and hippy-ness in that family.

Oh, so they're hypocrites? My gf's family may be cold-blooded baby-eating capitalists ( :p ) but at least they're forward with their intentions.

Other than Hilary Clinton, who is the clear-cut canidate to be the Dem. nominee?

It's as I said, they don't have their **** together.

They need to nominate someone from the south.

1964 nominee: Lyndon Johnson (Texas) = win
1968 nominee: Hubert Humphrey (Minnesota) = loss
1972 nominee: George McGovern (South Dakota) = loss
1976 nominee: Jimmy Carter (Georgia) = win
1980 nominee: Carter = loss (only exception, and extenuating circumstances; the country was in TERRIBLE shape in 1980)
1984 nominee: Walter Mondale (Minnesota) = loss
1988 nominee: Michael Dukakis (Massachusetts) = loss
1992 nominee: Bill Clinton (Arkansas) = win
1996 nominee: Clinton = win
2000 nominee: Al Gore (Tennessee) = won popular vote
2004 nominee: John Kerry (Massachusetts) = loss

JFK in 1960 is the last northern Dem to win the election

Barak Obama seems to be another potential candidate. The Dems will have their work cut out for them nominating either a woman or a minority. I'll be 18 then and able to vote but I live in NY and plan on going to college in NY too so my vote will be less than earth shaking.

I can honestly say, I prefer the book of A Clockwork Orange to the movie. Kubrick made a bad film. The camera work is uninspired and boring, the sets are completely made up and have little reflection on what is in the book and important scenes were omitted, including the resolution which is the best part of the book. I guess that's how movies are meant to be.

So a little later, he and his attorney Dr. Gonzo (played ably by Benicio Del Toro in the film) pass a hitchhiker (played by Tobey Maguire). Dr. Gonzo says, "Hey, let's pick him up!" and than Thompson/Duke replies with, "What? No! We can't stop here...this is bat country!"

Just MS Paint some dopey aviator shades on one of the guys there; we would have gotten the idea

Heh. I sort of chuckled, I guess.

Wow, you give my MSPaint pictures a run for their money when it comes to overall shittiness.

I watched Mudvayne on Conan. The singer now looks like he should be in Good Charlotte, and the song "Happy?" is a bunch of nu-metal schlock, but God-DAYUMN can Ryan Martinie play bass!

Well, they stick with what works, I guess. They were polite to Conan when he came to shake their hand, which was cool to me. Chad said, "Thank you, sir." That was nice. The performance was horrid, though, considering the album version is so much better. But like I said, after endless touring to promote a new album, and then mainstaging Ozzfest, Chad's vocals and everyone's chops are probably worn down. And yes, Martinie is an awesome bassist :jealous:

I bet you guys will do heroin at least once.

I'll guarantee you, right here and right now, that I will not. No questions asked. Same goes for any other illegal drug.

Well, this was a surprise, to say the least. Was The Pit that boring? :p

Yeah, we're talking about Mudvayne. The song they played last night feels like every sludgy nu-metal song ever released, with a comical lead singer to boot.

Also, top-notch usertitle. I laughed when I first saw it.

yeah their lyrics and singing are horrible but don't tell me you didn't notice the bassist.

he's excellent, and i think he has the most votes of any nu-metal bassist so far in the top 100 poll. which is good because he's one of the few competent ones.

It's not that I have a problem with the new Mudvayne, it's just how disappointed I was in their sound last night.

Of course, I should have expected it, since SOAD sounded like crap on SNL a couple weeks ago. I wasn't even fazed when Daron's F-bomb slip happened.

I'm also not particularly surprised with Ray's opinion. Should I be?

Yeah, I've heard things about Mudvayne not being the best live. I still want to see them because they are one of my favorite bands at the moment.

... L.D.50 is just so **** good.

Mudvayne have always stood out from most of the nu-metal crowd, at least for me.
They have for me as well. Them and SOAD are the two nu-metal bands I fully respect. I have sort of lost my liking of Slipknot over the past few months. Their music has just started to sound all the same to me.

Had sex for an hour and then decided it was taking too much effort and she was done so I just...stopped. Never thought I give up like that. Meh, whatever.

Anyway, spent all day with the Friend and the Girl. The Friend was doing a photoshoot of the Girl and I. We got really dressed up and walked around and modeled. It was a lot of fun. We're doing it again tomorrow morning in a beautiful mansion of a house. Should be a good time.

Also, how could Phoenix (guy from LP) be nominated? You can't hear him in any LP song because he just doubles the guitar chords and is super low in the mix.

The Friend is basically our best friend. We are a trio. A main reason the girl and I are together is because the Friend started ditching us for her boyfriend so we spent a lot of time together. Anyway, when she makes prints, I'll borrow the negatives and scan them. I'm rocking the Brooks Brother's suit which is cool IMO. Especially since it fits perfectly and was only $7. My dad found it at the Salvation Army on half price day. The most impressive Salvo find I have ever heard of.

Maybe it's because those movies are all about how the white man keeps the brother man down - even in a galaxy far, far away. Check this ****. You got cracker farm-boy Luke Skywalker, Nazi poster boy - blond hair, blue eyes. And then youve got Darth Vader: the blackest brother in the galaxy. Nubian God. Now Vader, hes a spiritual brother, down with the force and all that ****. Then this cracker (Skywalker) gets his hands on a light-saber, and the boy decides hes gonna run the ****ing universe - gets a whole Klan of whites together, and theyre gonna bust up Vaders's hood, the Death Star. Now what the **** do you call that! Gentrification. Theyre gonna drive out the black element, to make the galaxy quote, unquote "safe" for white folks. Jedis the most insulting installment, because Vaders beautiful, black visage is sullied when he pulls off his mask to reveal a feeble, crusty old white man! Theyre trying to tell us that deep inside, we all want to be white!
