The times that try mens' souls!!!

FINALS! D:

Got a lot a **** I need to get done between now and Xmas break. I actually have a silly poetry project in English that needs to be done by Fri. Really Wed. but it involves constructing a book and I don't to screw it up so I'm havin' my teacher print out the pages for me. :3

On the bright side, this weekend my brother got LBP for his birthday and I got a Squier Strat as an early Xmas present. Freakin' schweet.

Here is a drawing I made back in like mid Oct. Hopefully, I'll be better by this time next year.

Also, Iceman got b& a while ago. I didn't make a blog about it then. bin2bizy.

RIP Ice ;_;

Honors, Mass Effect, and Ham n Eggs

Song of the Blog-Ham 'n' Eggs by A Tribe Called Quest

I took my honors exam on Monday. The English portion was pretty easy as was the Figure Anaylis (I know I spelled that wrong. Don't feel like looking up the correct spelling -_-). The Math portion was hard as hell which is BS considering my previous teacher told me I was going to Honors (I moved to a different School district >_>). I'll be starting school on Aug 6. :(

Evertime I read about the game it just gets better and better. It's one of t he few reasons that I actually want a 360. In fact, I've been thinking about desiging an Action RPG in my free time so the games combat really interests me :D

Also, 3 of Nomura's art pieces have about the same character placement.

I mean Nomura is one of my favorite artists in the industry, but....

(I won't bother posting the pictures directly since blogs don't have a scroll for images and horizontal scrolls are a pain anyway)

You can see how all the characters are usually facing on in direction.

Future Guitar Set Up

BONUS! Song of the Blog...

Bat Country Avenged Seven Fold

Well my dad is getting his (late) tax rebate in a few days. He'll be getting a PS3 first, but later I'll finally get the set up I've been dreaming of.

Epiphone Alpine White G-400

  • Double-cutaway solid mahogany body
  • Alpine White finish
  • Set mahogany neck
  • Slim-tapered neck profile
  • Dual alnico-magnet humbuckers
  • 2 volume and 2 tone controls
  • 22 frets
  • Rosewood fretboard
  • Pearloid trapezoid inlays

Why I want it: I always wanted a cIassic Gibson styIe guitar. The nice rosewood fingerboard and humbucker pickups outta bring a nice tone. I originally wanted a Les Pual, but the Studio's dot inlays just looked cheap, in my opinion and the Plain Top's 430 USD price tag was just too much. Plus the trapezoid inlays look rad.

Line 6 Spider III 15 Watt

  • 4 Essential Amp Models (Clean, Crunch, Metal, Insane)
  • 6 Effects (2 simultaneous) including Phaser, Chorus/Flanger, Tremolo, Sweep Echo, Tape Echo, and Reverb
  • 4 User-programmable channels
  • CD/MP3 jack
  • Headphone/Direct Out for practice or recording
  • Custom 8" speaker
  • 15 Watts
To tell you the truth I don't know much about amps and amp manufacturers. But, I decided to get this after a reccomendation. I'm still looking forward to getting this. Almost as much as the SG. Having the preset models and being able to "save" my own personal tone are one of the main reasons I'm getting this.

I learned 10 somethings last night

1. Reporting a mod is a serious offensive and can get you moderated.

2. Mods can moderate whatever they feel like.

3. Uncyclopedia and Encyclopedia Drammatica are quite helpful.

4. I might get moderated for this post.

5. Blogs and tags can bring back lost points.

6. Nobody will comment. I swear.

7-10.

Five best guitar designs [Part I]

Welcome to a five part series on what I believe to be the best guitar model's. The entrie's will feature images, a summary from a cited guitar site, and a paragraph add-on on why I chose it. The guitar's are in no particular order.

It's also worth noting that since it would be extremely difficult for me to get my hands on and a play each guitar I have decided to focus more on the guitar's looks than the overall tone and playability.

I have to admit I was never really a fan of stratocasters. After I saw this guitar Fender blew me away. The nice block inlayes compliment the rosewood fingerboard. The black and chrome motif give it a sense of cIass and elegance along with with the mirror-like pickguard. I've always wondered why Fender decided to discountinue this finely crafted instrument. But, you can still find it in the 500-600 USD range with some searching.

More to come soon (hopefully).

I'm sorrounded by GUYS

Well, a few weeks ago when we changed seats in English I decided to sit down in a random seat until the teacher assigns us seats. Once, the bell rang she was all like "this oughta work out." I looked around and were guys pretty much sorrunding me. I was all like "...Oh, no" considering the fact that the majority of people in my class are girls.

Fast forward to today. I decided I would act fast and sit next to the hawt girls. After that the teacher told us to get up: she was assigning seats. And then when I got my seat I was next to the SAME EXACT guys. I was all like "WTF?" and then on of my friends sits next to pretty much half the girls.

How the hell does that work out?
