hahaha, forgot about that. We're on friendly terms, though, and I'm not bitter at all. I really don't wish her harm. It just doesn't seem at all wrong to me that her life will suck.

I should go to MDF one of these years...

As for the walgreens thing...an assistant manager starts at 45k and a store manager makes 80k and up. It's not hard at all to become an assistant manager and they really do promote talent, so if you're good it is a relatively viable career choice for people for whom a four year college degree is not possible. That said, while she's reasonably bright and all she doesn't at all have the right personality to be a manager there. Further, she comes from a wealthy Asian family, so she must be a colossal fucking embarrassment. But yeah.

Bought an e-cigarette today. Wondering how long it will take for someone to create cartridges that will get you high...

So tempted to buy a guitar on Ebay. It costs a fuck load getting one just at a dealer in Perth. It's a Schecter Hellraiser C1 FR. RAAAAWWWWWWRRRRRRRRRR Decisions!

Back from fucking around in downtown Savannah, Georgia. My family ended up crashing in a motel outside the city on our way to Florida around 9 tonight. They all wanted to go straight to bed, and I was like wtf lame, I'm 25 and single and I want to do something on a friday night. So I drove into town and ended up finding a pretty cool area called City Market that has a shitload of bars and people and live music, and they allow people to drink in the streets (something that doesn't happen anywhere in VA as far as I know), so I got a couple beers and roamed around.

Overall it was a pretty brotastic place unfortunately -- lots of jockish white college dudes in collared shirts with backwards baseball caps, and really shallow looking southe'n chicks with a lot of makeup. One group of drunk girls actually broke out with the chorus of "Sweet Home Alabama" and I almost facepalmed.

Didn't really find anyone to talk to other than a waitress and a couple middle aged dudes who were chilling at the bars and told me a little about the town after some smalltalk. They had fucking beer pong tables at one bar, which was awesome and I think more bars need to have. Other than that not much happened -- someone broke a shop window on the street at one point, which was kind of eventful I guess.

Apparently there's another big social/commercial hub by the river that I'll probably check out with the family in the morning. I guess this is a decent town -- not the most interesting of people, but I like the way some things work here.

One of these?

I have one. Funtastic guitar.

Goddamn I want to go to the US sometime...for a 6 week tour,hopefully if I score the job i'm after this will come to fruition.

 

[Episteme]

Yep, one of those but I'm planning to get the one in the high gloss black finish with pearl binding. Other guitarist uses the cherry red one already, so I don't really want to have the same finish on my guitar.

How do the pickups hold up? All my gigging guitars have the EMG 18V mod which I find sounds better than normal.

US over Europe huh? There's certainly plenty of fun to be had here, though it seems to me that as a tourist you get far more bang for your buck going to Europe. The cool places in the US can be pretty few and far between depending on what part of the country you're in. The vast majority of civilization here consists of identical shopping centers, franchise stores and ugly roads, as opposed to fancy old buildings and castles and shit.

 

[Episteme]

I definitely want to go to Europe but I also do want to go to the US for awhile. Maybe for the next MDF or something.

 

[JontRevolting]

I dunno,I just have that idea of an '80's style road trip across America,full of cocaine and bitches at the top of my list,Europe will always be there....Miami Vice baby!!

 

[challenge_everything]

Yeah, me and my best mate have a plan for when we turn 35, quit our jobs, buy motorbikes and ride from South America to Canada. Easy Rider style

 

[Onder]

I was drunk yesterday and it was A-M-A-Z-I-N-G. Unfortunately, nothing much to do.

 

[The Butt]

Trying not to fucking crash. It's 1:43 PM and I have not had a wink of sleep.

BALLS

That's fucking awesome.

edit: I just bought the Schecter guitar. Feeling regret now, but in a couple weeks time once I get it modded and set up right with the right gauge strings I'll be happy. Now I just want to sell one of my Jackson guitars lol.

 

[SentinelSlain]

Thinking about going back home.

Went home. So I've got a faster internet connection, mum's cooking, a peaceful neighbourhood and my hifi system. Yay.

 

[Krigloch the Furious]

I run it through a Peavey 6505+ and I've always been quite happy with the sound, but then again I've never really cared about tone much. I have 52s on it, and I get a nice thick tone. Works for me. But again, I'm pretty much the anti-gearhead, so probably the wrong person to ask.

 

[Episteme]

Cool, I've played my other guitarist's schecter guitars and I really like the neck. I'm running through a Framus Cobra head and Dragon cab, I used to have a 6505+. I'm pretty sure it'll sound fucking sweet. Can't wait!

 

[Krigloch the Furious]

I need to find either a used 5150, 6505, or a Triple XXX
for my rhythm guitarist in the metal band.

While my Ampeg owns, he needs to get his own fucking gear.

 

[Episteme]

5150/6505 for the win. Amazing amps for metal.
