Hey D, how are you?
Hey Hawk!
I'm doing the best I can to stay cool. Cool from the heat, that is.
I'm sick of 90s.

Hello to all my Old School friends and family. First let me say I hope you all have been well and I have missed you all.
I haven't been around much, if at all, in the past months and hopefully that has come to an end. I have been absent due to some things that have been going on in my life, and just have not been in a mood to be on any message boards. Life sometimes decides to kick you in the ass and I guess it was my turn. It has not been a good year for me, so far, but, we all have our problems and mine are no more important than anyone else's.
Some of my Progpower brothers & sisters already know that I won't be able to attend this year, due circumstances surrounding all this. I will miss you all this year, but know that I will be back next year with a vengeance.
Anyway, I will try to return to 'regular' status around here, as things do seem to be getting somewhat back to normal for me.

Well I'm back from the woods. Free food of dubious quality, downpouring rain and boring conferences. Thanks God tomorrow I go to work normally, at least that's fun!
On the other hand is amazing how your best plans always got screwed because somebody wants to be "helpful". I was hauling three albums and I had the chance with CDUniverse or Amazon. The total including S&H inside USA (to my Miami addy) and from USA to Costa Rica (via courier) was cheaper with Amazon.
Well what do you know Amazon decided to be "friendly" and split my haul shipping one of the albums in advance, so now even if the S&H inside USA is free (>$25 purchase) my courier providedr will charge me $8.41 per package, so instead of paying once I will have to pay twice for the same three albums, it ain't dandy? So the money i saved with Amazon finally will cost me more thatn if I had ordered from CDUniverse.
Of course I sent a complaint and I will probaly won't buy again from Amazon. There's a refrain here: wanting to make a grace you created a toad.

I think Bryant mentioned something about this a few days ago and was just doing some reading on it:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loudness_war#Remasters
This is a really cool article about how Remastering and cranking the music is destroying modern music. Personally, I can't stand "hyper-compressed" albums that are commonplace these days.
It's also the reason we had our music mastered at decent levels... if you want the song louder, turn the volume up!

Is amazing how your best plans always got screwed (AGAIN) because somebody wants to be "helpful". I was hauling six albums and I had the chance with Tower.com, because the prices were really good including the new Lion's Share and the S&H inside USA (to my Miami addy) it's free so I thought: hey I'm only going to pay the $12 for the big package. Well guess what, the "very kind" people at Tower has been shipping the damn albums ONE BY ONE! So actually I don't know now if I'm going to end with six packages at $8.48 the piece or what?
Cheap is expensive. I guess I'm going to stay with CDUniverse, LaserCD and The End even if their prices and availability are not that good.

Thanks J-Dubya!
I have a new profile and a new computer.
So anyone else want to add me to their My Space list...send me a message here at UMOS with your My Space address. I'd love to have you as my friend! 
Oops I almost forgot Happy New Year to everybody. May this one be full of health, work, food, sex and metal
haha, you could have wished me good health earlier this year, that part sucked, could be your fault
Tomorrow of to the one year celebration of Digital Steel. Meeting Hawk again and doing the food-part in your wishes justice with a BBQ. I'll probably gain another few pounds again...gotta get into shape again soon

Today I crashed my car. Poor old dear got the front totalled againts a metal bumper of a truck. Nothing happened to me but that doesn't diminished the anger and sorrow (expecially because I can't blame anyone). Sure the guy was parked in the highway, but is not his fault our highway sucks (no shoulder space) and he had his hazzard lights on, I just couldn't avoid him. Maybe I was driving too fast, I'm sure I'm not, but again now who cares?).
Now the whole thing, repair shop, insurance, traffic court, etc. Oh well I guess when your number is on there's no avoiding to do.

It's a Honda Civic 1998 at first glance the hood, radiator, hydraulic direction liquid tank, wiper washer liquid tank and possible the AC got damaged plus the right light and of course damages to the front including bumper.
I'm crossing fingers that's all, that the car is fixable, repairable and that insurance company will pay minus 20% deductible. I will know by Friday I hope.
And thanks for the babe, one of those may cheer me up now. On the other hand I have metal to listen so...

Hmm thats bad buddy. Glad to read you are alright. Lets hope the insurance will pay.
