Ok Im getting pretty frustrated, my toe is always pointing downwards in my clipper (more so when I have lavers on, or any shoe), so I set it to the front always.. I dont know what to do, Ive tried stretching, puttin my setting foot on a chair, pushing it against a wall, masturbating, whatever, its not workin!
Other than that, my abshire is really breaking in nicely, not too fast (ive had it for a couple of weeks), and my bro just got a matt emmings bag. Hey, its actually pretty cool! Reminds me of a baseball, in small hacking form- its smaller than my abshire.
And I transcribed a lot of mario onto the guitar today, hell of a lotta fun, although it got a little fast sometimes so I must have pressed rewind a hundred times. Whatever, I felt all my theory and whatever wasn't teaching me how to make music, so I decided to start with super mario world.
Im also looking for a new amp, so far the Roland Jazz Chorus 90 or 120 has caught my eye, I'm looking for a real nice clean jazz amp, not distortion. Budget is probably 600 and below, so I have a little bit of leeway, but not enough to bring in a good tube amp. I might get an Ibanez jazz guitar too, those things are pretty reasonable, I mean they aren't the best tone machines, but for 300 and less you get a good semi-hollow tone.
Otterpops are heaven, I've had like 50 today.. So thats all, I hope someone reads this post

Nice! I remember my first Butterfly, boy was that way back in the day... kids didn't have... up hill in 40 feet of snow... err... yes, Butterfly is a milestone man 
I'm not even going to ask about what an Otterpop is, and if masterbating made your ankles more flexible I think everyone's ankles would be like rubber

Hey man, thanks, I'll definitely review it in your topic and in here.
Not much has happened since the other day's butterfly, but I have been playing a lot of tennis. I can handle a lot of pace now, since I've been doin some hitting sessions with this recent high school grad (who's awesome at tennis). I can feel myself getting into better shape- it's awesome. Only problem is that it kind of tightens up my legs, so my flexibility takes a small toll, whatever.
Jazz rules, I've been listening to a lot of Josh Breakstone lately. Underground pop rules, been listening to a lot of Self and Fountains of Wayne lately. Music rules, Eels rules, Self rules, life rules.
McDonald's for lunch today- yay! I love my no. 1 with Diet Coke (for some odd reason). What do you guys usually have for lunch?

Check it out, I got Matt Cross's new cd- with a message! Haha, its amazing that one of my favorite hackers wrote a cool little ditty to lil old me!

Well onto the album. Overall, the general mood prescribed by Matt is laid back, chill, and nice sounding. The violin (Nora Kaminski) makes for nice harmony in parallel to the guitar. Some corporate inspired lyrics (Victory Gin) reflect the thought on the album. The guitar and vocals seemingly hear eachother perfectly and mirror what has to be said. Guitar production is clear, but at times, I found the vocal mixing a little faint, I'm sure that live this would not be the case, but Matt's voice was as if he was in another room, however, this was only apparent on a few of the songs. In any case- buy this album! You get a personalized message, footbag paraphanalia, and great coffee shop music- and no imperialist mass label involved.
Cheers
