Public Transportation is Magical
It didn’t take long to figure out that driving to and from work every day clear across town is going to cost me a fortune in fuel, so today I decided to see if the train would be a better option for me. Well it works out great, but that’s not what made the trip [...]
Read More..>>I’m Pretty Sure I Did Permanent Damage to My Wrists
Guitar Hero III has conquered me for the night. After about 5 hours of playing, I’m on the last tier of songs on expert, but my fingers and wrists are just giving out. In fact, typing this hurts like a bastard. Nice and cramped up, I have the “too much Guitar Hero” claw-hand. Meanwhile, my [...]

Slipknot killed my Guitar Hero III buzz. Big time. I wanted to bat my Wii across the room with my guitar. They don’t deserve to be in the game. Terrible band, terrible song, and now: terrible game. Fuck Slipknot.

On my way home from work today, I noticed a guy standing on a street corner prancing around with a sign advertising that a furniture store was going out of business, and that everything was on clearance. I made a mental note to tell anybody I knew that was looking for furniture about the sale [...]

The move from Wyoming to Oregon has been a bit of a culture shock for me. For example, there is more than one black guy (I always felt sorry for that guy back home — he must be lonely). Also, the area in which I work has a very high Russian population. In fact, I [...]
Read More..>>More OiNK
News releases continue to pour out concerning the raid on OiNK, and I keep seeing the same incorrect information repeated.
OiNK was a community of music nerds that shared music because they love music. Its primary focus was most definitely NOT advance copies of albums. Sure they were available, but any idiot can track down an [...]
Employed
Got hired on today at a computer repair shop in town. By “in town” I mean Portland proper, and it’s a bit of a commute, but it should be fun. I pretty much just fix computers, I start at a great hourly wage and have the opportunity to make quite a bit more as I [...]
Read More..>>The Simple Things in Life
You know what one of my favorite things EVER is? When you’re talking to somebody on the phone and they get another call, but fail to correctly switch lines and end up talking to you again…but you go along with it anyway. It goes something like this:
Me: …and I said “there is NO WAY that [...]
Guitar Experiment
I purchased my acoustic guitar almost exactly one year ago, and thought I’d try a fun experiment. The DAY I bought my guitar, I attempted to multitrack on my computer and layer a couple guitar parts over each other, which I performed. I chose the chorus of Weezer’s Jamie, and recorded a small clip that, [...]
