Quit your whining, all of you. I had a great day today, and I plan on continuing this "great day" trend. Also, Lochness is a great song.

10. Lochness

Grey mist drifts upon the water
The mirrored surface moves
Awakened of this prescence
Dispelling legends proof

A beastly head of onyx
With eyes set coals of fire
It's leathered hide
Glides glistening
Ascends the heathered briar

This legend lives
Through centuries
Evoking history's memories
Prevailing in eternities on and on and on

Lochness confess your terror of the deep
Lochness distress
Malingers what you keep
Lochness protects monstrosity
Lochness confess to me

Somehow it heeds the piper
From battlements that call
From side to side it ponders
Impassioned in the skirl

This highland lair of mystery
Retains a lost world's empathy
Resiliant to discovery on and on and on

This legend lives
Through centuries
Evoking history's memories
Prevailing in eternity
Your secret lies safe with me

This creatures peril from decease
Implores to mankind for release
A legacy to rest in peace and on and on and on

Maybe, let me check.

Blah, so far all I found was this lame painted self portrait of me (no, I don't have a shirt that looks like that, I just felt like doing it). Also keep in mind I do suck at painting.

Because I haven't had to talk to you all day. :)

No, I'm incredibly in love, and I have tons of good things going my way. I think that my sanguis is high today, and my melanchole is very low. Of course, Hippocratic philosophy means that I should actually be unwell.

Edit: Lunch, that was great! Too bad I forgot to take my drawings home from art class.

[lunch998]

The problem is that with AP art class, our teacher makes us turn in a project every week. So I always end up rushing through pictures and not being able to make them as good as I want to. But oh well, it gets me the grade.

I used to do realistic things, but then I let my mind take over. I've created some pretty crazy stuff.

Realistic drawings bore me to death. I like to draw whatever is in my head.

I've been coming up with a lot of cool riffs lately becuase I haven't learned a song in a while. What I like to do now is just play.

The worst part is being able to hear songs sometimes, and know how the solo will sound before it starts. Like being able to predict each note and duration as it comes...it's kinda lame...because I still can't write them out myself.

I can actually hear the entire song play out in my head (with drums, bass, harmonica/organs/pianos/etc.) but it literally because impossible to write because I don't know most of those instruments.

[Cain]

Studying is unneccesary. Download Finale Notebook for free and learn by doing. It becomes quite easy since you have MIDI playback for the notes you type in. It's how I program my drums for songs.

Ugh, that happens when I get a flute melody or a string section piece going. I try to write it down but I don't know time signature or note durations or anything, and playing it on guitar doesn't work.

[GaggingOrder]

Somtimes I come up with awesome guitar solos to songs that don't have solos.

When I come up with stuff in my head, i convince my self it sucks so i dont have to remember it. I used to come up with riffs all the time, and every time id stuggle to write them down wherever i could, and I'd have tabs drawn all over my homework and ****.

That's true, I just like standard notation a lot better because all the rhythms are already all there, you can show it to any reading musician and he/she will know how to play it, and it's honestly much easier to write and experiment with notes and melodies and rhythmic variations with it all mapped out for you on paper.

Theory does help, though.

Don't bash it till you've tried it. My fingers get very sore from all the rubbing.

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

I use a pick when I play bass when I'm hanging out at a music store. If I can't find a pick, I just slap. I can't use my fingers with a crap. :-/ Usually, I play loads of RATM songs on bass. Tim Bob owns..

[RiceMonster]

That's terrible.

I play bass with my fingers sometimes, but only for the real simple stuff, since I suck at it. Actually, come to think of it, it comes to about 50/50. I also do a lot of finger pickingon guitar.

I've tried my hand at bass. Not my thing.

My roommate uses it too. His songs are listed under aninnerglow, check them out. They're very poetry set to music, emo-type affairs. Not in the musical style of course but the mindset. He's generally got a good ear, and I've even written some layers for a few of his songs.

I have never used a pick on bass. It makes me feel dirty.

Fingers are faster anyways :p

[Dancin' Man]

I use both pick and fingers. I find a pick is hard because of how far apart the strings are. When I use fingers I use index and middle finger. I am really bad at slap but I can do tapping (which is 10 X harder on bass than guitar. Good practice for guitar tapping)

[Riva]

I can't afford a bass, so I just play guitar badly.

I'm terrible at slaping and poping on bass. But then again, I haven't taken the time to learn it.

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

As a matter of fact, I tried tapping on bass as well. It sounded very muddy though, since at the time, I was sort of just getting into it. (:lol: This was 2 weeks ago) It was a lot harder than on my guitar, not only because the gauge of the strings were lower, but because the action was set a little high for my liking.

For guitar, I like playing pretty much anything but usually it is jazz tainted metal. I like seeing my jazz playing come through in the heaviness. My guitar teachers likes it too, although I don't think he realizes I distort and play at double time some of the stuff I show him.

You take like a gatorade bootle and you stuff it with Fabric Softener. Then you burn/cut a hole in the bottom of the bottle, and after you take your hit you blow into that and it filters out the smoke, so it comes out smelling not like weed, but like fabric softener. Amazing isnt it. I didnt think it worked till the first time i used one, and my clothes smelled like fabric softener after it.

You use your thumb as a downstroke, then right hand tap the highest note and use your righthand index finger as the upstroke.

Today I plugged my bass into a guitar amp with a guitar distortion pedal. By playing with distortion in the middle register of the bass I could get some really crunchy guitar sounds. Sort of like a really low-tuned metal guitar, but on the bass!

It's awesome and I don't have to detune my brother's guitar to drop-C or whatever to get that sound. But after a while I got bored and had to play some bass songs :(

Yeah, but it's also pretty laid back. I can't do lead well in metal...at least not very clearly. Laid back is usually ok, but sometimes faster would be good too.

[Dancin' Man]

I get so bored of playing blues. I bring my teacher some strange jazz riff I wrote that sounds really dissonant and bizarre but he finds what chords go where and then we trade of soloing over it. I like doing that because it teaches you to learn to switch modes really quickly.

Guess not. Anyway, I am really exhausted. Ihung out with my girlfriend and her family tonight and it was a lot of fun. I like her family. Of course, I've known them all for years so it was more like eating dinner and spending time with friends, not a girlfriend's family.

Tomorrow, my band is playing at some kind's party who lives over an hour away. He went to middle school with us which is how we know him. SHould be fun. I'll sleep in tomorrow and take a nap to be well rested. I think we changed our band name too. From Space Holder to Translation Optima

Night MX.


Zep - I like Jazz because it's hard to follow. I really dislike easy to follow music because I think it gets boring. Maybe I have a short attention span or something but that is a main reason I like abnds like Gorguts and Ephel Duath. Everything is changing constantly. My teacher heard Ephel Duath (curtosey of me) and loved it. It confused the hell out of him but then he figured it out and was having a great time with it.

I wanna find a good guitar teacher. Someone that can really help me progress. I've gotten a lot done in one year, but I think I need to learn some more theory. I can almost pick out an interval, and I know a couple scales, but beyond that, I've got no theory under my belt.

Pete-Name change courtesy of me. :cool:

I'm tired as well. I had a long day of art classes, and looking for a soccer team. I might join an indoor team, that starts up next month. I would seriously dominate in that league, since I played Varsity and grew up playing soccer in Europe.

Time to go into a coma until 8am.

Night all.

[Permanent Solution]

Zep - I like Jazz because it's hard to follow. I really dislike easy to follow music because I think it gets boring. Maybe I have a short attention span or something but that is a main reason I like abnds like Gorguts and Ephel Duath. Everything is changing constantly. My teacher heard Ephel Duath (curtosey of me) and loved it. It confused the hell out of him but then he figured it out and was having a great time with it.
I have a terrible attention span, but Jazz bores me, oh well.

Night.

I like my gf's family; however, I've only met them once.

[Dancin' Man]

Find either a jazz guitarist or someone who majored in composition. They know the most about theory and will give you the skills to diversify what you learn from them. Getting some college kid who only knows rock and blues won't help that much because they can't give you every voicing of a Cmin (Maj7) chord that exists and tell you what scales each chord are found in.

...poor StillRix *feels sorry for him*...

yeah i need more theory under my belt too, i was doing advanced theory in highschool some years ago, but dropped that coz it didnt fit with other classes, then soon after that picked up a guitar, never got back to much theory, (though some scales and chord progression excersises to check im still up to scratch)... wow that was like 4 years ago...

anyone know any good free music theory websites?

That's why I miss the NHL. I usually only watched hockey games during the playoffs, because there tended to be more interesting action due to the tension among the teams. Nothing beats all the fights that broke out a few years back between Detroit and Colorado.

Yeah, but all hockey teams have a guy like that, most of them just arent as well known as Domi. Its called "the enforcer".

Also, wow, I can really tell the difference with this server. Before about 3 or 4 times a day it wouldnt be able to connect to the site. It hasnt happened once since the change.

I personally don't like Domi though. He's an ugly arrogant punk, but I can't deny that he was awsome in the last playoffs.

I'd rather have Brashear.

You call Domi an ugly arrogant punk, which he is, as obvious throughout his career, but look at Brashear. Didn't he hit someone in the face with a stick? Hes also not that good. If I had my choice of enforcers I would take Todd Bertuzzi.

[Jom]

The NHL will start on time next season. I have confidence it'll work out.

///

For those of you who are ranting about the NBA Finals: shut up and don't watch, then.

Not everything has to be run-and-gun. I'd rather see a final score totalling in the 170's than a final score in the 230's. I like defense, but that's just because every position I've played in my years of sports has held a defensive mindset. Two points for a takedown. One point for a reversal. Keep a low base. Protect the quarterback. Rush the passer. Drill whoever has the ball. Gun down the base stealer. Front up the post player. Take charges. And so on and so forth.

I'm not entertained by a basketball final score of 122-108. All you have are teams running down the court on the fast break for 48 minutes. Yeah, alley-oops and slam dunks are great because fans love it. But you can get that running a normal defensive set.

I just don't see the point of watching only 3-on-2s for 48 minutes. Even the plays with flair get boring as hell. But again, that's just because I've always prided myself on my defensive capabilities, rather than my offense.

Yeah, the first four games were blowouts. The first two games in San Antonio, and the Spurs obliterate the Pistons. Next two games at the Palace, and the Pistons dominate the Spurs.

Sportswriters everywhere go :confused: because the games have been unpredictable.

But if you mean to tell me that Games 5 and 6 weren't any good, especially the former, then I really don't have much to say to you other than... well, never mind.

And then there were people earlier in the Sports forum who say, "It doesn't matter who wins the Eastern Conference [Pistons/Heat], because they'll get crushed by the Spurs." And then when the Pistons advance, they say, "Here comes a sweep" or "The Pistons are ready to get blown out."

And then we're at a Game 7. Game 7s in any sport are always great. If you don't like Game 7s, you're not a fan of playoff sports and should stick to home interior design or the culinary arts.

If you're not excited for the NBA game tonight and you call yourself a basketball fan, that's just too bad, really.

I personally don't like the 2-3-2 format of the Finals, but whatever.

///

EDIT:

If I had my choice of enforcers I would take Todd Bertuzzi

Oh, you mean the cheap-shot artist who punched someone from behind, and continued to pummel him into the ice without warning?

Oh, yeah, a great example of hockey, being faced with criminal charges for breaking the guy's neck and injuring his vertebrae.

Well first off, I agree. The 2-3-2 format gives way too much of an advantage to the home team. But, it eliminates a lot of the traveling. Also, my dad told me back in the day it was 1-1-1-1-1-1-1 thats how it should be, but, wayy too much traveling, the playoffs are long enough as it is.

As far as Tod Bertuzzi, I know that was a horrible thing to do, but I belive he was in the top 5 in points two seasons ago, and hes just a really good player.

No it was him who got hit in the face. I forgett the guys name who did it.

Oh yeah your right. Marty McSorley is the guy who hit him.

He negged repped me when i used the user title 'Arsis = The EmO!!.' He did again when i changed it too 'Unholy Thrash Metal,' which he claimed was a genre.

[RiceMonster]

Once I had my user title as "your favorite band sucks" and he basically told me I should be an elistist like him.

:lol: Aren't there rules about repping though? Or do all the mods just go mad?

[Dancin' Man]

No there aren't. That's why it's been gotten rid of. Dargon + repped me many times. I think it was because even though I liked music he didn't, I really like stuff he did too so I was safe. Near the end you could get neg repped for liking Wormed because it meant you were probably a poseur. :lol:

NP Godspeed You Black Emperor - Rockets Fall on Rocket Falls

Such an awesome song.

Everyone could rep before... how could you make rules about it anyway?

No there were no rep rules

Yeah, thats what ends up happening. If someone doesn't like you, they'll just...give you a demerit.

I got confused. Munky said that now only the mods can rep. I thought maybe there were some kind of guidelines for what deserves a rep, is all.

the mods rep people they see as good users. i think its supposed to be for good, informative posts and threads.

There were kinda, rep people who did good posts but no one listened to the rules. Even certain mods now rep/rep- people who do not deserve it

i just dont get any rep :(

now though, if you get to 2000 rep can you not also rep?

Yeah it was really like this:
Random user "Can I have rep?"
The rest of mx "Ok, here you go!"
*users rep goes up by 300*

People also used to rep because you checked out a band they liked, or because you liked a band they liked, etc.

[Paranoidd]

You call Domi an ugly arrogant punk, which he is, as obvious throughout his career, but look at Brashear. Didn't he hit someone in the face with a stick? Hes also not that good. If I had my choice of enforcers I would take Todd Bertuzzi.

Brashear is a better player than Domi and he's black.

Bertuzzi is a write off.

Yep, thats how it went.

She didn't like that much. She got scared and her friend found out and her friend and I exchanged **** YOu's. I apoligized to the girl though. **** her friend. That sucked.

Eh, it's not like the thread was moving fast with good conversation anyway.

It's hardly advertising.

[TheDMV]

I don't care really, I was just joking around.

Your right though, R&M has slowed down round this time of day.

It's hardly advertising.

What will happen if I down 4 oz of Robitussin?

[halfdeadhippo]

Yeah I've got one of those too, because I got bored one day. Me and Tyler (TheChosenOnes) made them to make fun of the emo kids with them. Since then, I've just used it to keep in touch with people I know.

I don't know, why don't you try it and find out

[NJMetalMeister]

If you down 4 oz of robitussin, hopefully your cough will go away, assuming you have one

This dude says drinking 6 oz will make everything look like Paper Mario. I don't have any Robitussin. :upset:
