So, this was a weird thing that happened on the subway today. First at the Rockerfeller stop some guy bolted off the train just as the train doors started closing. I guess he must have forgotten it was his stop or something. But then it happened 2 more times. At the 42nd St stop, 1 guy ran off after he realized it was his stop almost and the doors were closing and another man just completely missed it. He got off at 33rd st and had to go back a stop and all the while complaining how he missed his stop. It's your fault dude, SHUT UP!

I know this isn't exciting or anything. It was a HAD TO BE THERE moment, but funny how it happened 3x in a row pretty much. Maybe the first guy left a vibe of uncertainty that the other 2 picked up on. Hey strange shit like that happens. I think our brains somehow communicate with each other on their own. I'm thinking it's like the 100th monkey thing, but with a twist. Just google 100 monkeys and you'll know what I'm talking about. the story with the sand and yams.

This is a quick follow up to my last post. So I called my band member to tell him the horrible news and he was shocked and devastated as well. But he stopped to think about it and reasoned that the company would be stupid to stop making one of their best selling guitars in the most popular color. So after whining about it and stuff and looking at other online retailers for this guitar, we decided to hear it straight from them. We conference called Schecter and asked them about it. The rep said that "I've been hearing reports and rumors that were discontinuing that guitar and thats insane! Why on earth would we discontinue the most popular guitar from the most popular line that we have? Don't believe it, we may be short on stock I'm sure cause of the holidays but this is still in production." He said to find another retailer and don't bother with them anymore.

We called up the retailer afterwards to speak to Cust Serv and he put us on hold for a real long time. We just hung up, I was starving anyways and wanted to get lunch.

I'm so happy this was a lie! YaY, at least I can still get this guitar.
Peace and harmony resumes.

OMG, it happened again. My luck is just shitty sometimes. I procrastinate on purchases a lot, which is not a real bad thing necessarily. It really helps me determine if I really want to spend the money or if I really really want it. But now there is an item that I kinda need and as MY luck would have it, the manufacturer discontinued the item. This is a picture of it.



I need it now cause I have no backup guitar to play with. At least nothing thats up to spec now. I have an old guitar but it's really not that playable cause it has dead spots on the neck. I have another but it doesn't have the tone I need. And I'm trying to get rid of it.

So let this be a lesson to all of you. If you want something really bad, get it and deal with it afterwards. I waited a little too long and now this piece which really suited me perfectly and has all the right specs on it is gone.

Shoot me now please

HNY.
So it's the year of the RAT. YAY. I'm a rat. Means new beginnings and stuff. Well thats funny, cause I have a job interview coming up and I didn't even start to look for one yet. My name got dropped by an old colleague and then one thing led to another. So I hope something comes of it.

I've been sick since before Xgiving, some sort of cold or flu that just won't vacate my body. Damn Virii. Gotta make an appt to a Dr. so I can get rid of this damn thing.

So, no one reads this post. haha oh well, I'll keep myself entertained.

I have been doing quite a bit of photography lately. Back in Dec of 07 I was hired to take pics for company Xmas party (not my company). After all was said and done, pay was took little. Didn't realize all the work and time that went into it. Learned some hard lessons in photography as well. But thats a good thing right?

Went to an old friend's house from High School for a hang out between XMAS and NY. Part of an old science club gang that hung out. That was really fun, great foods, massaged her dog and presents all around. then I had to take some portraits of my friend Glenn cause he always complains that he doesn't have any descent pics of himself.

Now, back to the daily grind.

Oh, speaking of new beginnings... I hope to being posting at least once a week here. I have some trips and events planned for the year and want to write them and post up some pics.
PEACE out RATS.
