Kinda hard to explain where I've been. I lost the password to Horus, then I went a little crazy, became a football fan and then I decided to come back here. That's the short version. The long version involves lubricant, a midget, and a watermelon.
 
Anybody have a link to one of those websites where you upload pictures of two different people and they produce some image of what their children would supposedly look like? I'm trying to give a friend some flack about this crazy chick that wont leave him alone and coincidentally have some time to kill. I google'd it and didn't find anything.
 
Well I finally decided to upgrade my guitar! I sold my Korean S series on e-bay for a cool $500 and used the money to buy a 2000 japanese RG in excellent condition. Its on its way as we speak and should be here this week, here are the pics by the seller:

Coolest thing about this? I got the guitar + soft gig bag for $440 shipped. Yep, I made $60 profit on the whole transaction! Woo!! When I get the guitar I'll be posting pics up in the pics thread and explaining the whole thing cause its funny how I got it lol.

I'm also upgrading my amplifier to an all tube amp and am currently bidding on a Peavey Prowler on ebay. I've gotta thank schenkadere cause without him I would've been so lost in getting a new tube amp for cheap!! Hes the best!!
 
Got my signed copy of the 5.1 cd/dvd thing today, yay for Newbury & their quick shipping. Happy early birthday to me.
 
since i didn't get a chance to say it in the appropriate thread, i want to say that it's fucking awesome that this forum can talk politics, get heated and passionate and still manage (for the most part) to remain civil. That was pretty cool, and a very fun thread. Good times!

Don't know if any of you guys have seen this yet, but I thought it was pretty funny.
 
Story time! Long post; I just had to vent this shit. Feel free to skip, as nothing's of consequence.

The tale of a ruined weekend:

Friday, we had our first gig since September 13th, so I was excited. And it was our first gig in the hometown of Pittsburgh since 8/19/2007. And it was with our drummer's bro's band, Circle of Dead Children. Apparently they're a really well-known grind band, and it was their first hometown show in 3 years.

I just got a job this week, and so I had to wake up early and stop partying whenever I wanted. The weekend is now valuable, which made a Friday night gig all the sweeter. So we rehearsed, went to the club, and watched the first band (not a bad band). We set up (my amp's still in LA, so I used a buddy's Peavey JSX, which sounded AWESOME). We played well, the club was packed, and the crowd was great. There's a song on YouTube somewhere - I was acting really corny, so it's comical. Then we left to pick up a friend, and I came back to catch the rest of CODC's set. I don't like grind, but whatever.

Last song (and they're a grind band, so that's a minute, tops)... big mosh pit, no big deal - I'm right up front by the stage watching their crazy new drummer. Someone runs into the back of me and I fall forward onto the stage - right onto a broken beer bottle. Long story short, I had a ton of cuts and scratches, including a pretty deep one on my right ring finger just above where it meets the hand. Instead of partying at my bass player's new apartment and sleeping in all day as planned, we spent most of the night hanging out at the emergency room while I got five stitches. Now the weekend's wasted, and I have to figure out how to do a lot of crap left-handed for a few days. Weak.

Oh man, that sucks... I hope your hand gets better soon bud.
Oh and I've seen the video on youtube. You guys are awesome, keep it up! :headbang:
 
Damn, Jeff, that sucks. :/

So are you gonna pick a coast & stay there, or just bounce back & forth between the two? *g*

That SUCKS! fucking moshers! Nothing like hitting someone from behind when they aren't expecting it. I'd have preferred stitches to pissing blood after that Sy-X show... Hope your hand heals quick dude! Fucking moshers!
