No Hot pics

No Pics. I do fit into my old pants tho, but I can't upload anything because my computer crashed and I can't seem to get the pictures online yet. No worries, though. I will be posting more of my sexy pics for you soon. I have lost a little more weight and have started working out with a friend from work. We work out on mondays, fridays and saturdays at around 5:30. Wait...I am at home. What time is it? Oh well, fuck it. I'm eating taco bell. (Just kidding) (I hurt my hand yesterday)). 24 points for me please. Thank you for reading this pointless crap.

E.S.T.

I am just now getting things back in order after having our computer crash. I was able to save most of my files and am in the process of restoring the system back to it's original self. This will take some time. I Have had some good times in life recently. Inspiration is back. Just As I said that, I heard thunder crash outside. Maybe a sign.

Wow, It's a-pouring now!

I love life. Anyway, Going through my stuff, I have been listening to some old stuff including Alien Sex Fiend. I only heard a few songs in the 90s, one on some Goth Industrial various artist album. I liked it okay, but was more fascinated by switchblade symphony at the time. Nik Fiend's vocals are haunting and the overall sound is sort hypnotic. Anyway, it got my brain working. Stewing in my pot, I have been trying to explore exactly what I am shooting for with my own music, but I feel that it would be more like if some impressionable teens tried to imitate Alien Sex Fiend imitating REM and doing covers of Mazzy Star and NIN songs. That sounds awful doesnt it? I guess it is. I guess it is...

It's in the bag! What?

Just wanted to say here that I think that I have succesfully quit smoking for sure now. All the other times in the past were merely a lie. In the back of my mind I was still kinda wanting a cigarette. Not anymore. Even when I am stressed out. I just have no desire for one. It is like I never smoked before. I think... Is it that easy...Wait, I just read some of my old posts and realized that I have come a long way now. I still have that craving to "graze" on food, but have sort of been able to transfer that into a healthier hobby. I do weed. Just kidding. Or am I?

mixed knutz

The PS-5, AW-3 and LF7 are next on my list for effects. No rush on that.

Jennifer sang for me in this video. One of my favorite songs we made together. She hates it tho. You know how artists can be. So hypercritical...

Gear update and bonus material for you.

I have been practicing a lot more and messing around with some blues type lessons on demand. Beginner stuff. I got a copy of the guitar grimoire and have begun studying it some. I have a few new scales in the bag. My skills are really increasing after I tried the blues. It really sort of gushes out of me now. It is like a language I was destined to speak or something. Well, I still like to slap that guitar around like I don't know what I am doing. It just feels good, when you do that. Finally got a TS9dx tube screamer. The sound is amazing! I have always wanted one and now I got it. Traded in my DOD 250 and my Bass Overdrive for it tho. Not a big loss. Guitar Center geve me $60 trade in. I paid 20 for the DOD and the Bass Overdrive was like 12 years old and worn out. Worked great being a BOSS pedal, but gotta go with the real deal on this one. Sounds like warm salty butter through my cheap ole amp. Love it. Hate Guitar center tho. They freekin' made me wait for an hour. Took a thumb print, had me sign shit and who knows what else, I think they got a urine sample too. Nope. Not stolen. New guy ringing me up. Hot and bothered wife in the car. Sending texts to me "hunny are you ok?" and such. THey would not even appogize for the inconvenience. All these guys are arrogant emo punks wearing tight jeans, black shirts, chains, lip rings and buddy holly glasses. I guess they are emo. They are punks fo sho! Oh, well. Must be nice to be them. I know it's nice to be me when I am playing. Even if I am just playing 3 notes over and over. the feeling is intense sometimes. I plan on making a shit-load of acid loops using my guitar and reason as well as my little yamaha keyboard synthesizer with all the effects I use. This would be useful for other people looking for some inspiration in this uninspiring society. Actually it does inspire me to write some angry stuff. I mean not even "songs" but sound sculptures and drones that would drive you mad listening to them. I have all the parts for the TMK but have not assembled it for fear that it will not work. Oh, well. TIme for some ab work. Talk later.

******BONUS MATERIAL******
I did get rid of the keyboard. It was too techno-y. Not my cup of tea. That is ok. I used the money for the tube screamer and some stuff for our 10 year wedding anniversary. SHHHH!!!!!

P.S.

Yeah and I am not coughing anymore after I laugh! Unless I am eating almonds. Those little buggers always get me coughing... [I hope you got the humor in that one!]

Update [as if you or anyone cared this early]

Well I have some friends that smoke those...what do you call them? Cigarettes! Yeah! And I chat with them outside while they do their dirty little thing and I have no desire at all to join them. Now how about that?!

It has been a long time. a few pounds lost. no biggie. I got some new pants today. Still tremendous in size, but they are not snug. On my way. Jennifer is more determined than I am until recently. She has lost a LOT of weight now and I am trying to catch up. Hard to do with her working for my sister part time making truffles and other chocolate goodies. I plateaued for a while, but then I did some ab work that KILLED me. Time to do it again! This may kick start that ole' metabolism. Here's hoping! The pain is pretty intense.
