My all time favorite tuning is still just full step down, standard D. I love drop C as well haha. Drop D is a lot of fun, Drop B can be fun. I love different tunings. Definitely want to do more with open tunings, just weird open tunings though.

I found a $20 in the parking lot at work today. Made an announcement to see if anyone would claim it, and no one came forward. Easy money. 8)

think about it. someones gonna be devestated if they lose lets just say their ipod. so for an item of that value youd say "did anyone lose their ipod?" coz someones gonna be freaking out over that coz they had to trade in the family cow and their magic beans plus like $499 to buy it. with $20 someone will just go "fuck! i lost $20... ah well that sucks"

Story time!

Our story begins at a quaint Shell gas station in Safety Harbor, FL, it's about 8 pm. After filling my truck up by use of my debit card, I then place it in my pocket as usual. I proceed to go into the store to purchase a beverage. I pay with cash because it was so cheap. Fast forward to 1am just hanging out with my friend. I open up my wallet to pay at the hookah bar. I say "Well that's funny, I'm pretty sure I had my debit card earlier". So I check all of my pockets, run to my truck and check all over that too. I then begin to panic a bit, I just lost my debit card.

I decided to drive all the way back there from the hookah bar(about 20 miles or so) to see if maybe someone had found the card or it was still lying around. I go to the clerk and ask him if someone had turned in a debit card, and low and behold someone had...and it was mine!

All I know is I wish I could thank the person who turned it in, I guess there really are some good people around here in FL.

The world is full of good people and there are more good news stories than bad ones - but they rarely get told because news is only news if it is bad, or so it seems in today's media.

The world is just plain awesome... in a quiet, underground kinda way. :D

It is! :o He was singing for Susperia cause their vocalist kinda nearly died the other month from a heart attack (whoops), I'd never heard any of their stuff before, but they were surprisingly not bad!

I have my independence back! (Sorta!) My new motorbike arrived tonight from England. So I should hopefully have it all road-ready and taxed and insured and everything by the weekend so no more adapting my life around bus times to go places! Woohoo! :D

Using a pressure washer to blast clean my patio was awesome.
I got covered in shit but it was fun and strangely therapeutic.

DUDE. YES.... I mean.... my God.... I live for Colin Edwin.

I try to express my appreciation and admiration of him to others, but it seems like people kinda shrug him off... I think he's brilliant.
I don't know why he's as underrated as he is - I'm always impressed with the 7:00+ live version of Up the Downstair, on Coma Divine, in which he uses his Wal. Listen to it, it sounds easier than you might think it is. But I play it when I'm feeling limbered up, and it's ok for the first couple minutes, but then the fingers get a little tired, it gets a little sloppy.... and then you realize how much stamina he has. :lol: I appreciate players who are able to bring anything from heavy and crunchy to ethereal and atmospheric.

Seriously though, my favorite bass player. There are so many A+ bass players out there, but he comes first. So I guess I shouldn't ramble, but have I made my love for him clear?

He wins every time
