the sound of a perfect pinch harmonic...
ABSOLUTELY PRICELESS!!

What's going on with my profile? I've actually been thinking about this for a while. When I first joined myspace I basically made my profile a shrine to Zakk. It was easy, take the wallpaper that I was using at the time, set it as the background and match colors to the wallpaper. Well since my free webspace disappeared a couple of years ago, so did that wallpaper image, and my profile has been in a "transition" ever since that happened. So, what better time to rethink and tackle a new "look" to my profile by starting clean... sort of... go white and basic for a little while. Okay, so I added a new wallpaper... honestly, it's temporary. Anyway, this space should be changing very soon, hopefully it won't take too long, but honestly who knows.
While I go off and think of what to do with my profile, sit back and peruse my Last.FM playlist. I recently added it and to be honest had to trim it down. I realized it was fruitless to add everything I really liked if Last.FM couldn't stream it. It still has the Bleeding Through track that I added earlier, however you will need to skip ahead to it or listen to the rest of the songs on the playlist first. To entice you to listen to the whole playlist, go ahead and play the game below. Here are some quick keyboard instructions to get you going;
Up Arrow - Accelerate
Left Arrow - Lean Left
Right Arrow - Lean Right
Down Arrow - Brake
Enter - Restart
Z - Change Directions
Give it a try and see how well you do...

My Interests

MUSIC, music is my life! I'm not one of those people who will tell you that, simply because I'm constantly listening to music (even though I do). I thoroughly enjoy music... in many forms and genres. Listening to music, playing instruments, even talking about bands, musicians and theory... I'm addicted. As far back as I can remember, I've always had an affinity for music. If you want to get me talking... just get me going on music and I'll go on for hours.

I'd like to meet:

Anyone and everyone... alright that's a little broad... how about people who play guitar that can offer a pointer or two, or anyone in a band in that case. Heck if you can play a mean Kazoo, let's chat! I'm the proud papa of 3 Lesters... and if I had my way I would get an LP a year (in my eyes they are works of art). If you are a LP owner, let's rap... if you're not a LP owner, it must suck to be you! J/K... Wanna talk guitars?? Hit me up... I got love for all "geetars" =)

Music:

I'm getting old... can't you see above... 100 yrs old!! ^_^ Can't mosh too hard now. I'd probably break my hip! So that qualifies me to listen to anything and everything without ridicule... from New Wave to NuMetal... J-Pop to Christian Metalcore (don't laugh, it exists, take a look at the band "As I Lay Dying"). However I should limit the music to anything that doesn't raise my heart rate too much. Otherwise I'd probably keel over and die.

Check out what I'm listening to;

Movies:

Movies are cool, I like them a lot, I waste a lot of money on them. Unlike most people, I wouldn't be able to tell you my favorite movies of all time... simply because there's just too many to list. However, I can tell you which DVD's get played the most... the top 5 movies I watch the most are: (in no particular order)

- Office Space
- Half Baked
- Up In Smoke
- Gone In 60 Seconds
- Happy Gilmore.

I don't know why those are the most watched, I just tend to gravitate to them when I want to watch a movie.

Television:

Sadly, I don't have time to watch as much TV as I want to. If it weren't for the DVR on the cable box I wouldn't know what was going on in the world. If you need to know though, my faves include, in no particular order; Psych, Heroes, House, Mythbusters, Two and a Half Men, How I Met Your Mother and Future Weapons... nice mix of random crap huh?

Books:

I rarely read, that's probably why I'm so stupid, if magazines count.. then I guess I read some stuff. Mostly tabs... I'm a big sucker for GW tabs, mistakes and all =P... I promise... I read simply for the articles ^_^

Heroes:

In no particular order... Slash, Nuno Bettencourt, George Lynch, Zakk Wylde, EVH, SVR, Paul Gilbert, Randy Rhoads, Dimebag and a whole list of great musicians as well... that punk kid who could tap like a mofo at GC... yah I'm very one track minded.. I raise my goblet of rock to you all! Rock on!!

The word of the day is: Eventually...

Back in January, almost 3 months ago, I came back from Vegas all jazzed talking about "big news"... well what I should've put in that last blog was that I'm a lazy fucktard and that "eventually" I wo...

Rocked my socks off!!

It's pretty obvious from viewing my profile both here on MySpace and on Last.FM that I'm fairly partial to japanese music. However, while I do have some japanese "rock" artists in my collection, I've ...

An underappreciated ability...

What is probably a major surprise to many that know me, I'm back on the wagon and I've been going to the gym on a daily basis (as of Monday anyway). I'm really paying for it too... I don't think I've ...

Damn I love this song!!

So... it's been a while since I posted a blog here on myspace and to tell you the truth, I had tried to convince myself that it didn't exist. And, it was going pretty good as I was able to keep myself...

New Year... New Wave!

So it's another year and what do I have to show for it... well 2006 was sure an interesting year and to be honest, I really don't want to re-live a lot of it. While I'm not quite sure what 2007 will h...

Miyaviuta - Dokusou!

So I just got Miyavi's latest CD in the mail, which is not bad for shipping considering it came out less than a week ago and I chose the slow boat/cheapest rate I could select. And what do I think? To...
