Why are you happy right now?

nasty old bitch that I work with is finally quitting.

 

This is always the best day.

 

I was gonna quit my shit-ass warehouse job but they decided to fire me first so now I get to chill at home for a week before I head to Colorado to see one of my best friends.

 

I've recently been delving into Buddhism and putting some of it into practice and I feel so much better as a person, emotionally and mentally.

 

It’s not just a “Buddha Recipes” book with a morbidly obese guy on the cover, is it?

 

No.

 

Big bones pls

 

I drove an hour and a half to Long Island and back to the only place within 100 miles of me that carries Strandbergs, so I could finally try one out.

Worth it.

 

Do you plan on buying one?

 

I came close to financing it right there on the spot, but thought better of it. But yes, a Boden 7 will be my next guitar purchase once I have the funds.

They've arrived, and in great shape

 

I was playing guitar and my son was watching me so I started playing Baby Shark (greatest song of all time???) and he kept telling me keep rocking Daddy!

And both of them like Scooby Doo meets KISS, so only half the requests I take suck.

 

Play Parasite, She, and Strange Ways for them.

 

Just got done jamming out on some Fear Factory and Divine Heresy songs, and had one of those times when your playing and tone is just "on". This wouldn't generally be a big deal to most, but to me, it's huge. I was on an anti-seizure medication that was really messing with my motor skills, making my muscles tire easy, thus making stuff like tremolo picking and playing cleanly quite the challenge indeed. Just got finished with the process of switching medications a few days ago, and with the meds that weren't agreeing with me out of my system, not only can I trem-pick with ease again and play much more cleanly, I just feel better overall, mentally and emotionally, which is awesome.

 

It's definitely awesome when everything's in sync with your playing and you get excited to play. I've had a few of those moments myself lately and to me, there's nothing better.

 

Usually all I can play is Detroit Rock City, Rock and Roll All Night, and Baby Shark. And Cherrybomb, that usually gets a Chchchchcherrybomb.

I almost had him talked into him being Paul and me being Ace for Halloween, but noooo, gotta be Iron Man.

 

clutch's new album is great

 

I found it rather bloated as a final product, but I did like the songs they released prior to the albums release

 

yeah they probably could have cut a few songs, but it's still a good album. I liked it more than I've liked some of their other recent albums.

 

I just learned that the guy I've been buying coffee from every morning for the past year has a stage name and an extensive hip-hop discography/career. It's not my kind of music, but I'm still impressed.
