I'm thinking of buying some spy camera glasses

No, not for looking up people's skirts you pervert.


...Well, maybe, but that's not the main reason. I was looking at them and wondered "Hey, I wonder if anyone's ever done a video of a gig in first person", and I don't think anyone has. So I thought "How cool would that be?", and I think it would look pretty cool. Now, obviously the sound would be distorted, but I'd either get the venue to record for me or just record it myself with an interface and let Windows Movie Maker do it's magic.

People with license plate covers piss me off

So far, recently I've seen two people with those damn covers on their car in my town. Instead of drawing attention to yourself with them since they're illegal, you could just, oh I don't know, not go through red lights? People like them make me want to become an officer when I'm older, but I really wouldn't want to have a higher risk of death than the average person.

I fucking hate my brother's dog

So far it's ruined

And my brand new, almost broken in resin.

Why the fuck did he have to get a dog?

I hit post #41 a lot

Current mood: frustrated

And it fucking irritates me!



Seriously, I hate being the first post on page 2 (40pp ftw). Anywho, this was mostly just to vent my frustrations.

I just did a gig!....in my dream

Last night, I had a dream that me and my friends Miles and August were going to enter a Battle of the Bands contest. We were totally unprepared, and had never played the song together before. We were so unprepared, that we had them put us last on the list so that we'd have time to prepare (get the lyrics, figure out who's playing what instrument). So, we figured that August would drum and sing lead vocals, Miles would play guitar, and I'd play bass, piano (wtf?) and sing backup vocals. I said wtf to the piano because we were playing Crazy Train. So, after we got all that decided, I had to run and print out the lyrics, which I had immense difficulties with. I made it back just in time, and put the lyrics out for me and August. At the last possible second, August decided he couldn't drum and sing, so I had to take over lead vocals, which I've never done before. I actually sounded pretty good, but I'm fairly certain I don't really sound like I did in my dream. We got a good reception, but we didn't win. As we were walking out the door, we passed Ozzy, who was about 5 feet tall. Also, for some reason, at the end of the song, instead of singing the real last chorus, for some reason I sang the ending chorus of Metallica's Ain't My Bitch. /dream

My thoughts on Explorer styled guitars

Epiphone Explorer - Something didn't feel right with it, wasn't very comfortable, but it sounded ok played through a Marshall JVM fullstack
Ibanez Destroyer - Felt great, very comfortable, sounded good played through a Peavey Windsor Studio with DiMarzio D-Activator pickups
Peavey Rotor - Played fairly nice, a tiny bit less comfortable than the Ibanez, sounded really good through a Roland Cube 30x
Jackson Kelly - Wasn't comfortable at all, neck didn't feel right, and didn't sound too good through a Peavey Windsor. Floyd was a little fun though.

I have not tried the following yet:

LTD EX
ESP EXP
Gibson Explorer
Epiphone Futura
Hamer Explorer
Douglas Halo
SX GG2
Agile Ghost

I'm gonna attempt the Milk Gallon Challenge someti

Chocolate milk is allowed, so that will be my weapon. Earlier I drank a 24 oz glass of chocolate milk in about 6 seconds, so I figure I can handle it. It isn't that hard to drink fast, you've just got to disregard your entire mouth and go straight down the throat.

Well, my life is now fucked

Current mood: sad

So...today I found out my parents have a 99% chance of getting divorced. So that makes at least three ruined marriages in my church in 2009.

Another weird dream

Well, for the past week or so, I've been wanting to hang out with two of my friends from middle school. Well last night I had a very weird dream that involved them.

I was in a place that looked like it would be a Halo map. The three of us were driving around it in a Corvette or something, and Molly (one of the friends) was the driver, with her brother Ryan in the back, and me in the passenger seat. We're checking out the place and all of a sudden Molly drives off a cliff, wrecking the Corvette. We get out, and get in another Corvette. We take the same path, and right before I'm about to warn Molly about the cliff, she does it again. This time I know she's doing it on purpose. When we get out of the car, I yell at her for wrecking two Corvettes on purpose, so she gets in a third one, goes up to the cliff, and does it again. By then I decide I'm just going to run from her, so I get to the top of a hill, and her and her brother follow me. She tells Ryan to go grab me (which is weird, because I'm a giant next to him) and I grab hold of two railings and kick him in the face three times so that he gets away from me. Molly starts to run after me, so I take off, dodging in between houses and past my dad's grilling thing. I tell my dad about it, and he just says something along the lines of "It doesn't matter, go have fun with them", and I'm all "WTF?". So I end up running from her again, and by the time I'm done, I'm back to where she wrecked the three Corvettes. Thing is, only two of them were there. I look up to see her driving the last wrecked car off the cliff again, right at me. At that point I woke up.

What the fuck is with these weird dreams that make no sense?
