U.S.A. Under Attack

Still in shock.
Two planes crashed into the World Trade Centre twin towers,
one into the Pentagon, and one just outside Pittsburgh, PA.

What can you do?
What do you say?
Can you just imagine the height of anger and grief?
How could someone have the audacity to do this to humankind?

Before I say what’s on my mind,
please say a prayer for the innocent victims and their loved ones.

“Eternal rest, grant unto them O Lord, and let your perpetual light shine upon them”

Now. My turn.
Telephone ringing.
I wake up …. My brother yelling,

“Are you watching the news!?”

I mumbled, “I am not! You just woke me up! “

He said….
“Hurry! Terrorism in New York!!”

I turned my TV on.
And the World Trade Center’s sister building is missing.
Freakin’ smoke surrounding the tower!.
What the fuck is going on??

Then it happened..

I saw the other tower collapse. I am witnessing death as it happens.
Thousands of lives trapped.
So much anger. So much pain.

I know as of this time” (7:04 PM), there is still no word on who the fucker is.
The news media is trying to be “Politically Correct”, making sure no one would be offended.

I don’t care!! Whoever you are or whoever is involved….
What are you trying to prove you Motherfucker !!!???
First of all, You better take a fuckin’ shower because you stink!!!
And second of all, enough with this bullshit terrorizing and killing people.
You and me buddy…. hand to hand, old fashioned fist fight!!
I am going to fucking kick your ass!!

WAIT!! make sure you shower first because I won’t be able to stand your stench! Your whole being stink like the fucker you are!
Your soul reeks of shit, pus and worthlessness.
I am fucking shaking just writing this down!

All you hear is the word “horrible attacks”, “cowards” and “how vulnerable we are”.
FUCK THAT!!
It’s time for someone to stand up and say,

“We know who the bastard was….and we will beat the shit out of them!”
“We will skin them alive, pour A1 sauce on them and feed them to New York rats and cockroaches!”

Anyways …
Wherever you are, whoever you are.
I hope you are fucking happy, because once BUSH gets a hold of your cowardly ass,
He will stab your pecker hole with his Texas bayonet!

I hope your children, and your children’s children
will feel what you have contributed to this world.

And lastly, You know what I am going to do?..
After I offer my prayers,
I will go and get me some McDonalds’ Big Mac Burger meat!
Super Size!!
and I will just enjoy “FREEDOM”.

Something we know you don’t have.

Fucking Coward!

Pet Peeves

Do you know the saying “My body aches in places I never knew I had?”

Well…after helping my Mother paint her new house..
I now know where my Trapezeus muscle is!

Man, I can only imagine what would hurt on the actual moving day.
Which reminds me.
I would like to write some of my pet peeves based only from this past weekend.

FIRST – too many chefs in the kitchen!..
as we were trying to do our part painting..here comes this guy
..immediately after the usual salutations..started telling us that what we were doing was wrong.
I mean, we are no professional paint people, but if you are going to criticize what everybody was doing,
“PICK UP A FREAKIN’ BRUSH and DO IT YOURSELF”!!

SECOND – lack of planning!…
I must have driven to and from the Home Supply store at least 50 times
because we ended up needing more stuff.
Which leads me to my next rant..

THIRD and LAST – people who can’t drive!!…
OH MY LORD!!!…Who are these people???
To think Canada has this Excellent“(?) graduated licensing…
which takes you 15 years to be able to complete the freakin’ thing!!
What is wrong with these people??

Why do they have their turn signals flashing since Christmas of 1984???
How can you not notice the ambulance blasting it’s horn at you
from a mile away and still not prepare to give way?

Do you not understand the signs and road markings??

Dooo youuu spppeeeaakkkaa eeenggllleeesshh!!??

And who are these punks who do not know
the difference between low beams and high beams?
Do you want to help the driver in front of you in case they wanted to read a book??
Is it so hard to make sure that Ally Mcbeal can get out of her car when you park too close?

COME ON!!! I try to follow the speed limit..but I also am aware of the speed of cars around me..
I do not do a 70 on a 100 km/h highway…why in the world are you cruisin in the passing lane too??

OH WAIT!..I just had a revelation..
Do you ever wonder why you always find a shoe on the road?
….it’s these cruisin, not a care in the world people looking for the other pair!!!

….Oh Lord, please help me.
I make my own mistakes..I admit.
I am no NASCAR champ.
Though I do know that just because you can step on the gas pedal harder,
does not make you a better man.

Happy Independence Day

Happy Independence Day to everyone in the States.
Now..I am not gonna make fun of you guys..
since everybody in the world does that already..
I am not gonna bash your Leader..
since I know nobody is perfect.

He just started his term..
and we might as well give him a break…
(Maybe he’ll finally bomb Saddam..who knows?).

You know what …
contrary to the popular notion that Americans are loud mouthed, obnoxious, not a care in the world type of people.
I have to disagree,
coz I have met some nice, understanding and the most caring people in the States…

Though….why don’t you guys take it easy with them guns…
What’s up with them school shootings?…
You think the kids are safer in schools since they all carry guns?

You guys do have an astounding history…do not take it for granted…
thank a veteran for your freedom.

To all my friends who live there, Have a safe and wonderful holiday!
Also..Happy Filipino-American friendship day in my home land..
(Hey. I gotta represent!)

HAPPY CANADA DAY!!

HAPPY CANADA DAY!!

Finally!! A long weekend!!
Don’t you just love it?
Plus it’s Canada day, where everybody will be partyyyyiiinng! ..

and me?….

siiiiccckk as heelll again!!
I was fine all week..til the weekend hits. (of course).
Lady luck and I are still not in good terms.
Tracy is sick as well.
With all the drugs that we took..
we still can’t sleep
tossing and turning at night like pancakes..

But..we do not care..We will be out there at the “Hill”,
partying with all the Canuck’s.
Gonna watch the show and the fireworks…
everybody will be walking around like they were on crack.

My friend Mike Torres sent me those three Canada pictures,
and asked me if that’s how it is here..

I said..HEEELL YEAAAAH!!..
we do this twice every month!…
usually after payday….
go find me in the picture man!

The Traumatic Truth

Spent the whole night at the hospital…GEEEZUZZ!
I was sick as hell man!! I have finally accepted the traumatic truth..

BEER and I don’t get along anymore
…Yes..you heard it right…
I have to say goodbye to it.

Okay ..okay..here’s what happened..
two of my good friends, Jennifer Joy and Jeff Ahern ..whom I had the pleasure of working with
are moving on…so..we all had this after work goodbye beer thing..
which was cool.

Buuut..as soon as I got home…
everything I drank came out..stared at me in the face..
and kicked me right in my gut like I owe him child support!..

Daammnnn!..I was dehydrated bad!!

I’ve actually seen this coming…
I always get this weird feeling whenever I drink…
“The INEVITABLE” happened.

My ulcer does not like this stuff…
then I was like…cmon..why beer??..
why can’t it be something that I don’t drink or eat.
…like snakes.
(Though I heard they are good.)

So ..it’s either I don’t drink beer…
or see a Doctor (which I hate) and have this fixed…

This one is a toughie.
Maybe I need to rekindle my friendship
with my good friend JD and seek for some advice.

Dream Theater

I watched one of the best Music DVD I have ever seen yesterday.

DREAM THEATER” – Metropolis 2000/Scenes From New York
(Thanks Sly!!)

I am telling you..
their music keeps comin’ at you like tracks on a roller coaster!
“Balls to the Wall Man!!”
I mean, The show started like ridin’ the coaster itself. Quite serene at first,
..but you know somewhere, it’s gonna grind you to death.

Cut number 7 (John and Theresa Solo Spot), was the part of the track where it keeps you calm
but wanting for more.

then BLAM!
The Killer Blind curve hits you like a freight train!
Brings you back up in the air.

John Petrucci (guitars)
and Mike Portnoy (drums and percussions),
just blew my socks off.
John has tones and music coming out of his guitar that were not on mine.
He plays them “out of this world” myxolidian scale transgression
(or at least that’s what I think it is) effortlessly.

And Mike Portnoy?
what can I say…
Congratulations to him for winning the
Modern Drummer Magazine” Best Progressive Rock Drummer
(for the 7th year in a row!).
He was just beating the crap out of them drums with ease.
He directed the whole Video as well.

My final say….(ahhh Finally)..
Any guitar enthusiast like me….go and get it!!!..nowwwww!!!…
okay maybe next payday.

As my good friend Sylvain Belanger told me…
“If it was Metallica or whoever else..
Rip ’em”..

Gone!

I posted some of my songs on “Chorus”.
I can’t find some of ’em..
Serves me right for not backing up….
Man this is all Angelfire’s fault!
(freakin deleted my stuff…!@*%@&grumble!@%*#^mumble!@%)
Now I have to do them again…

Anyways….
click on the “Chorus” link to hear them.

Broken Into

My Brother’s car got broken into last night.
I remember how it felt when my car got broken into…
All I can say to those stupid freakin thieves…

You Mo’ F’ S’ o” B’s.!!!
May the lord of a thousand leeches suck the marrow of your souls to HELL!!!
I hope you rot in it..and may Lucifer have you as his bitch!!!

Now I am so mad..I want to destroy something…
Now where did I put my hockey computer game?…..

At long last!

At last..
I finally got to see one of my favorite bands of all time.

BON – freakin’ – JOVI

I was supposed to see them back home, in the Philippines,
when they did their “Keep The Faith” Asian tour.
But did I see them??
Noooooooo!!!! …. Why?
…because I had my stupid mid term exams….
Once again..education comes first.

Anyhow….it was one of the best concerts I have seen…
they really put on a good show..
I never once sat down once they started.
I swear after their first song…I got my money’s worth.

Richie Sambora ROCKS man!!!…
I think he is one of the most underrated guitarists of all time.
Try to listen to his contribution to the album
“GUITARS THAT RULE THE WORLD (album 1)“,
I swear it blew my socks off!

Also…after years of trying to imitate his playing,
I have finally seen him do it “LIVE”!!…
Then I realized I have been playing them wrong…
well..some of them I did right.

Anyhow..all in all I give it a freakin 10!!

Oh you know what else??…..the band that opened for them was cool as well..
They are called SR-71 from Baltimore, Maryland.
They got funky rock songs that would seriously get your head banging, and your feet tapping.
Watching them actually brought back my inspiration to pick up my guitar once again and play music..
but nahh..
too lazy..
