Dumb-dumb post
Ah.. I missed my dumb-dumb blog. I've been posting more over at our serious-post-only blog, which I share with my dad. After typing up my latest about US sanctions policies and the investment behavior of companies who do business in Iran (lol), I got bored. I need more dumb-dumb topics to write about (because outside the office that's how I am ( Read more... ) -
mmm...
I hate July-August.
August, the expensive month
Excluding general expenses, July is a big drainer.
Automobile repairs (antena, 4wd): $1,300
Roundtrip ticket to Narita: $1,200
Expected spending while in Japan: $1,500
Gifts for relatives: $1,000

This week
Good lord...work is really kicking my ass. (that's a commerical about the ultimate knife for $19.99 + 2nd for free...otherwise it would be a commercial about "HeadOn".)

New Career
It has been suggested to me that I should play guitar for an upcoming birthday party. The participants are all around the age of 3~5, which means I can't play anything from my Alice in Chain's catalogue. I've been looking online for some Disney sheet music so I can learn notable classics such as, "Under the Sea" and "Can You Feel The Love Tonight ( Read more... ) -
A show of support
If you happen to be in the area, please stop by :D. The following was posted on Braden's (our bassist's) myspace.
Plus, I have a new David Gilmore-esque guitar solo, which I'll be unleashing at the event.
Dear Ladies and Gentlemen,
This coming Saturday, we will be playing a very important show as it is a benefit for Robert Wall

Who needs terrorism when you've got a failing infrastructure rivaling that of third world countries? Not to mention a failing healthcare system and a trigger happy administration.
Boom.
I don't care who...Hilary, Obama...heck I wouldn't mind Thompson either. I'm tired of the current (raised-by-Yosemite-Sam) President. -
Guitaaa hero
My interest in guitar playing has been reawakened recently. My fingers are slow and my arms tired, but I'm slowly getting back to my previous level of playing.
This interview about Ozzy's take on Buckethead cracked me up.
In an interview with Revolver, Ozzy Osbourne stated that he had offered to have Buckethead play guitar in his band at Ozzfest. ( Read more... ) -

Additional event for the summer
Yes! It's finalized. My plans to go see Flyleaf and Evanescence with Paris and Leslie is confirmed. Plane tickets purchased, hotel booked, and I'm good to go. :D
I'm hoping to score some fondue at Dante's when I'm down there in Atlanta...but perhaps it won't happen. I'll do whatever the girls prefer. -

What a horrid week.
On top of this mess, I had to shoulder a $1300 auto repair bill (replacing 4 engagement switches and a cellanoid pack for my 4WD). But I'm not complaining. Seriously, I'm not.
Work was hell (but that's what I get paid for I suppose). Something I've noticed over the years in working with multilateral lending institutions is ( Read more... )
