I've been looking at Jacksons. It's frustrating. You'd think a grand would be a decent amount to spend on a guitar. Until you see they have the same model for 3 thousand more. But man that Chris Broderick guitar is awesome.

We used to have Christmas Day, Good Friday and Easter Sunday as days where everything but service stations were shut. But these days Easter Sunday is no longer on the list. It fucking killed us when Easter Sunday was on the list too, Thursday before Good Friday was busy as hell, then we'd come back on the Saturday morning to hell again because the shop was shut Sunday. But the only job I ever had public holidays off was when I worked IT at the government, every other job I had to work most public holidays, and when you start at 10pm you can say good bye to Christmas day on the piss because you have to be completely sober with a zero alcohol limit at 10pm Christmas night. Being a truck driver probably saved me from being an alcoholic.

They are good, although chocolate ones suck. But every year at Easter I think the same thing, then I have a few and remember back to when I delivered them and was pinching them off the load from Jan 1 to Easter. I go so fucking sick of them!
When I was working there we had supermarkets ask for them in September because of customer demand and when they were a reasonable price they sold in the thousands a day. Now days it's a bit different, but the weird thing is one year the company pushed the 'bun' part without the cross which is essentially just a cinnamon flavoured fruit bun and the Christian lobby when fucking batshit! The same lobby that carried on about the commercialism of Easter also bitched and moaned that a bun they never agreed with, without the cross they didn't like, couldn't be sold in the middle of the year because it represented Easter. What's more they fucking won!!

And the Christian lobby know how to bitch! And with both side of politics in their pockets the know how to get their way too!
Chocolate hot cross buns became popular here about 10 years ago. But the chocolate over powers the bun and it's just like spreading chocolate spread 3 inches thick on bread. You don't need much chocolate to ruin a hot cross bun. Much better to just have the fruit ones.

Gear envy? During the pandemic I started playing guitar and saved up enough staying home to buy a new Gibson. Talked to the owner of a local shop and he offered to sell me a new Gibson but also recommended checking out the ESPs. I walked out of there an hour a later with a beautiful single cutaway ESP that cost a fraction of the price of a new Gibson, was lighter and the finish is amazing. I regret nothing.

Fuck that, if I was going for a guitar it would be either be a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle Flying V or a Mustaine special. It wouldn't play better, no one would ever see it, and I'd probably never learn play it, but I'd know and that's all that counts

Fucking Skolnick making a dick of himself again on social media, this time by attacking a pastor for playing a sing along on a plane.
This is a guy that has spent so much time using Twitter to force his political beliefs on his followers, yet a pastor can't make a sing song without being abused and calling it propaganda.
One doesn't have to like the music to see the guy's not preaching, he's just trying to spread joy the way he knows how. Right or wrong callingl it propaganda is fucking naive. But to hit twitter and bitch about it like his did, is supremely stupid.

It just makes me wonder if spending a grand is even worth it. I've been playing a long time but, I'm not a pro, so spending more is dumb. Unless the one I was looking at is just a shit version. ESP's are awesome! And if your playing metal is definitely the right choice over a Gibson.

I can't believe Spitz got rid of all those guitars.Fuck that, if I was going for a guitar it would be either be a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle Flying V or a Mustaine special. It wouldn't play better, no one would ever see it, and I'd probably never learn play it, but I'd know and that's all that counts

Propaganda is pretty a strong statement for a guy singing a song. But I wouldn't want to have to listen to that guy either being stuck on a plane either. However I also wouldn't go on Twitter and shoot my mouth off about it. You don't always have to add you two cents.

Traditional hot cross buns are a cinnamon bun with small pieces of raisins/sultanas in them. But mass producing usually leads to mixed fruit pieces which includes peel and that ruins it.
