Back in college, probably 2000 or 2001, I played a computer game that was probably my favorite of all-time. I'm not a gamer, but I thought this game was pretty badass. It was just a group of us in the computer lab that played against each other.
Here's how it went: You pick a landscape to...
My biological dad used to be in a big time metal band in the 80's. I met him for the first time a few years ago. Out of the blue, he decided to mail me a guitar that the guitarist from a band in the Ozzfest tour gave him a couple years back. It's a Schecter Jeff Loomis Diamond Series Floyd...
I finally got pissed off at how much I've shrunk in two years from not weight-lifting. I used to be really big and strong, but due to a some medical crap, I was put on medication that made me lose weight FAST. During this time I killed my chances at maintaining my strength and muscle mass. So...
I was bored today, so I decided to record Tchiakovsky's Concerto #1 using my Roland Fantom X88 keyboard and Garage Band. All of the music was done by me playing the keyboard. I downloaded the original score with all the parts, then played each instrument with the closest patch I could find on...
I recently got a brand new Imac with all the options and upgrades. The internet seemed very slow, so I upgraded it a notch. It's been to an upgraded speed for a while and it's still slow as hell. I went to speedtest.net and my DL is 760kbps and my UL is 125kbps. Ridiculously horrible. I...
They wrote and recorded these songs in the fashion of Japanese metal bands that have a limited understanding of the English language. They're actually awesome guitarists. Listen to "White Tiger on a Black Night". Great guitar work.

Friday a friend of mine said there were two puppies left by her door in the freezing cold weather. So, she took them into her house and I volunteered to take them until I could find them a home. I took them straight to the vet to get the flees washed off of them and give them shots. They were...
Here's an awesome player of the fast. I would add myself to the list, but I figure others will do that for me. haha.

I was driving home from lunch today. I was sitting at an intersection where there are two left turn lanes. I was in the right one. When the light turned green, I started to turn in my lane. The lady next to me decided to go straight instead when she was right next to me, as fast as I could I...
Today, I got word that my friend was hit by a car while training for a triathalon. He is an oral surgeon. He was with two other guys that train with him. They were on their bikes and he was in the middle. A lady on her cell-phone plowed him down. He went on her hood and directly smacked his...
I just got done with my Radiology exam which consisted of a few computer questions. Here they are.
1. Name what the system is where many transistors and other electronic elements are fused onto a chip.
2. An Input/Output (I/O) device consisting of a keyboard and cathode-ray tube display...
When my wife came home from jogging this morning and went to the neighbors house who was gardening outside. I let our littlest dog run outside to them. After that, I decided to let our bigger (25lbs) dog outside to do the same. She ran right over to them too. She's been notorious for...
A C5 though. I started a thread earlier about me searching for a C6 Z51. Upon my search, I found an awesome C5 Z06. It's just over 400rwhp. It has all the supporting mods. And it was professionally done by a shop that's well known. The deal was just too good for me to resist. I'll show you...
I've finally decided what car I want to buy after I gave myself these choices: 03-04 Cobra, 02-03 Z06, and 05-06 Corvette. I went with the last options. Number 1 was a new Z06, but the prices haven't dropped enough for me to be willing to pay that much.
The frustration: I've been to over...
I found a ridiculously good deal on an '07 Z06. I have been contacting this guy trying to figure out how he can pull one over on me. Here's the recent conversation:
"The 2007 Chevrolet Corvette ZO6 is still for sale. It is in perfect condition and it has never been involved in an accident...
You can't see me. I'm behind the PA on the right. The story is, my band's name is Ballistic. We're just a cover band that plays every weekend at bars and clubs. We only do it for fun. Not to mention, we never practice. This is the first time we've played Cowboys From Hell together as a...
I was talking to a guy at the gas station today who had a Z06. After a long conversation with him, he said he was going to sell it soon because he was buying an '07 Z06. I asked him how much. $15K! The catch to this is that it had 104,XXX miles on it. I did some research, and he's been the...
For the last year I've been doing medical research work for my thesis in biomedical engineering, but I decided I didn't enjoy what I was doing. I'm not "officially" a grad student until August, so I needed something to hold me over and pay the bills until then.
Anyways, I looked in my local...
When you go out at night to some bar or club, what are the songs you want to hear from the band. I'm in a band that does a lot of the most current rock songs, but also does stuff that everyone knows for rock like Ozzy and whatnot. What would you want to hear. I was a lead guitarist in a band...

I always thought they sucked until I heard this song. The video is kind of parkinson's-ish, but still pretty cool IMO. I think we're going to cover this in my band. Are they cool?
My grandma passed away last month, and this is the last of her antique cars we're selling. My grandpa (also gone) has a 25 car garage behind his house, and used to have as many as 25 collector cars. I built my first mustang in his shop out back with him. This is the last of his cars and one...
I'm in the market for buying a Cobra ('03-'04 maybe even the super-rare '02). I posted a few weeks ago about wanting a Trailblazer SS because my Gt didn't have space for music equipment. I basically said screw it. I'll miss having a sports car too much. I'll just use the wife's Honda to...
