What is the cause for the lack of updates?

I loooooovvvveeeeeeeeee this new technology.
Everything is so clear and crisp.

HDTV is da ShizniT!!!!!!!

How clear is it?
Well, let me tell you what I noticed so far,

1. I can actually see the grass on an NFL Stadium.
2. Every smudge on their uniforms.
3. Every drop of sweat.
4. The guy on the upper bleechers picking his nose.
5. Jay Leno's couch for the guests to sit on is "suede".
6. Each celebrity you though was hot, "isn't".
7. The CSI shows are 10 times better.
8. I can see every strand of fur on Elmo.
9. Maria from Sesame Street needs a makeover or a facelift. (She's freakin' me out)
10. I saw the Kelly, Reuben, and Fantasia's Christmas special,
and I saw Fantasia's stretch marks on her breasts.

And that's when I realized, I watch too much tv.

No matter!
TV is fun again!

(Now where is that darn remote?)

Happy Thanksgiving!

Exactly a year ago,
I have written here what I have learned about American Thanksgiving.

Apparently,
I have forgotten to mention another important Thanksgiving event.
The day after.

BLACK FRIDAY.

The biggest shopping day of the year.
Or,
The official day for shopping masochists.

Consumerism at it's ugliest.

For my fellow Canadians to understand this Black Friday,
Close your eyes,
Think "Boxing Day",
but worsen that experience a hundred times.
You get it?

Not only that,
Malls and Department Stores open at the unholy hours of 5 or 6 in the morning.
And if you can think of each and every person you don't like or annoys you,
they are all out there with their annoying self.

If I was to go out shopping on Black Friday,
at 5 am,
battling lunatics for a parking spot,
waiting countless hours in line,
and dealing with freaks who are there,
that bitch and complain about how crowded and insane the malls are.

I assure you, if I was out there,
there must be a gun to my head!

In conclusion,
There is only one thing I want to say.

VIVA LA INTERNET SHOPPING!

Where you can shop 'til you drop your bottle of beer!

One more song added.

Show Me A Smile

by
The APO Hiking Society.

A classic tune by one of the Philippines' brilliant musical groups.

When I was younger,
and still learning guitar,
this was one the songs I would play quite often.

I specifically remember one night, I was trying to get some sleep,
but this song was on constant repeat inside my head.

I believe it was 2 or 3 in the morning,
I couldn't take it anymore,
so I got up and played this tune.

This song just reminds me of a simpler time.
Funny how my life was different way back then.

Anyhow, without further anything,
Check it out under "Chorus".

I hope you like it.

New Song Added

A couple of months ago, I came across this guitar site called,
Webstrings.com,
which claims that you'll get amazing tone, playability, durability and sustain,
for a very low price.

So, I thought I'd check these out, since my Ibanez' stock pick-ups
doesn't give me the tone and sustain I wanted.
Plus the distortion on my effects processor is quite weak,
so I figured, why not try these strings?

So anyway,
I told you that story to tell you this story.

Remember Prince?
Or "The Artist Formerly Known As Prince",
or that symbol, "The Tau Cross With Intersecting Hermaphroditic Ankh."

Remember his movie, "Purple Rain?"
Anyway,
it was on TV not too long ago, and I thought of playing that famous song.
So I found the backing tracks for it, but everytime I play it,
I can't seem to have enough sustain.

So, I thought I'd put these new strings to the test.

So, here is the song,
"Purple Rain"
by Prince.

Check it out under "Chorus".

Hope you like it.

Priorities

Today, the United States determines it's next leader.
Millions of registered voters flock to their local precincts,
to exercise their patriotic duty and be heard for the betterment
of the nation.

Today, Canada determines that the word "kemosabe",
the name given to the Lone Ranger by his friend Tonto,
is not a racist term.

Today, I am proud to be a Canuck!

You think I am kidding eh?
Well, you can read all "aboot" it here ----> Yahoo News
and here ----> MSNBC

Today, Tracy and I,
painted our living room with a different color.

I must say,
we did a pretty decent job,
considering we started doing it at 10 pm,
and did not finish til 4 am.

We had to wait til Tyler was asleep,
because it's just impossible for us to do this project
while he's running around all over the place.

Plus, with my injured back,
I knew everything will just hurt like a mother trucker!
And you know your body will be very sore in the morning.

So, for those people,
who are thinking of doing some home renovations and/or re-decorations,
here's a word of advice,

"DON'T"!!!!!

So, why don't we just look at some cool links,
instead of doing something else, like, "work".
