[QUOTE=GoldfingerSpokesman;13404939]Does the UK have Thanksgiving?

Nobody really cares about why we have Thanksgiving, we just like to eat and get out of school/work.[/QUOTE]

See, this man knows where his towel's at.

I don't care what the excuse is, three days off school is awesome.

123.

I'm willing to bet all you foos that Thanksgiving's sole purpose IS NOT to get a few, ungrateful kids out of thier FREE education :smoke:

And no the UK has nothing even close to THanksgiving.

/Douglas Adams reference?




Anyways, I'm sitting here on the computer again. Cool.







160$ for an electric guitar... Whoo.

Wow, I didn't know if anyone would catch it.
+rep.

I used to dig him a lot, but the last few years I've drifted away from Science Fiction/Fantasy stuff.

Hello.

It's okay. Weird Al is a hero of mine, and so I think that made me less fond of this. Songs like White and Nerdy, Don't Download This Song, and You're Pitiful (not on the album) are good, but overall Lynwood feels very uninspired compared to a lot of his other albums. I mean Taylor Hicks? Who cares? Weird Al definately didn't become my hero with songs like that.
It's not a bad album, but I hoped for so much more.

Were you the one talking about Indian Summer?

The new guitar world is actually good for once.

What's in it?

New song using the looper.

"Firelight."

If you have a sub-woofer, turn the bass down. I've still got some sound level issues to work out, particularly when switching effects. That, and I was using an octave down effect combined with a synth bass effect and plugging away on my B string.

This song is an accurate representation of my night last night, drunk and stoned at a dance club last night. :smoke:

Hmm, I can't say I like that crunchy tone.


Due to my new-found GAS for a Stick I have started working on hand independence. I have a new-found appreciation for pianists. It's hard.

I love the crunchy tone, lol. It's just beats. No note definition at all. Lol.

And, yeah. Piano is amazing.

Makes it sound like it was a really creepy night. :lol:

Oh, dude. It was. :lol:

It's so hard. I think maybe I should just build up my tapping chops first, then make it more musical.

Then I'll magically find a way to get an extra $2000 for a Chapman Stick.

This place is dead. And I feel like talking. Any takers?

I'm feeling crappy right now. I don't know if I feel like talking about it because it always kills any conversation because no one ever has anything to say.

Man, I'm all for it, I just broke up with my girlfriend an hour ago, and I have tons of worse **** going on. What's up?

My thing is that in less than a month it will be the one year anniversary of my mom's death. Just getting around this time of year is starting to bring up all these old emotions again and making me feel really upset.

Man, this is a tricky subject. There's not a whole lot of advice I can give you besides this... stay as clear-headed as you possibly can...if you start to feel especially bummed out just try to think of the good parts of your life. All you can do is try to cheer up man.

hey everybody

Exactly. I know it's a tricky subject, which is why I always have trouble bringing it up with people. Most people haven't been through anything like it, so they're just at a loss for words. Then even if others have been through it, it's different for everyone, everybody deals with it differently.

It's just the worst thing imaginable and it actually happened to me, and unless someone has been through it, they'll never know how bad it really is.


But you wanted to talk... what sort of crap are you going through right now? How long were you with this girl? Talk away! :p

The "crap"....I just did something really stupid while I was getting down from a high, and might have ruined 2 friendships (although I hope not)


I was with my girlfriend for a little over a year...I just felt like it would go nowhere and didn't feel emotionally connected anymore, and if I kept with her, I'd feel like I was just using her for her body. However, she was under the impression that our relationship was perfect, and really made me feel guilty when I broke this to her... :upset:

That sucks, but if you weren't happy with it, what's the point?


What's this other thing about possibly ruining a couple of friendships? That's never a good thing...

Eh....I suppose I'll give you the abridged version, although I doubt youll be able to give advice.

Me and 4 friends go to one kid's house to smoke, and everyone else got drunk (I didn't drink). It all goes well. Everyone goes to sleep packed in the tiny room. Long story short, the kid I'm sleeping next to (he's straight, or so I thought) kinda gets a little close....eventually we ended up making out and feeling eachother up.

He's like my best friend, but I think things will be really awkward from now on... :upset:
