I have had an odd day myself, I haven't been able to shake this hadache since yesterday, and I am just lazy, I have done nothing productive today!

I am really hoping I don't wake up like this tomorrow.

** I seriously need to buy a punching bag so I can get in shape while I'm angry! **
good idea !!
i tried that once .. punched the bag in time to a rolling stones number ..
was great .. felt loads better ..
except that i got blisters from the boxing gloves .. and sore hands / wrists ..
and started to think it could mess up my guitar playing enjoyment ..
given a choice .. i know which i prefer .. and it ain't the boxing ..

another thing that used to work ..
using a large caliber firearm ..
blowing the krap out of tin cans .. metal buckets .. and glass bottles ..
( paper targets don't quite have the same response to being hit )
at worst you might get a sore shoulder from a rifle ..
and a ringing sensation in your ears ..

swimmings' good .. i.e. exercise type swimming ..

there's a chart for today over at this thread .. http://www.linda-goodman.com/ubb/Forum1/HTML/014492.html
transiting Mars is starting to square the Virgo sector ..
maybe that's what getting you wound up a bit ..
( i.e check your chart against the *Today chart )
if it is Mars squaring your Sun ( for example ) .. it's only 2 days at 'peak' levels ..

Haha, wow HD blowing the krap out of tin cans sounds pretty fun. I feel better today though. I only wish I had a pool!

**.. blowing the krap out of tin cans sounds pretty fun ..**
there is a sort of emotional release that goes along with it ..;-)))
but if you do .. go with a responsible firearm tutor .. ( please )
the calm collected sober type .. no show-offs .. or speed freaks ..
i don' wanna see a .. " i've got a big hole in my foot " post from you ;-)
or " I blew my arm off .. any ideas for playing banjo ? "
or worse ..

** I feel better today though.**
glad to hear it

**I only wish I had a pool!**
then you'll be wanting an affair with the pool-cleaner ..

actually regarding anger release plus exercise ..
well i'd put the punching bag at the top of the list .. ( from what i've tried )
.. i just never figured how to avoid blisters ..
some form of martial art might be a good idea ? ..

second down the list for anger release .. getting really physical with a strat ..
i.e.letting loose on it .. really attacking the strings 'n such ..
it pays off with single coils .. they respond well accordingly ..
( listen to just about any steve ray vaughn live recordings .. or buddy guy .. )
sweaty hands and dropped plectrums can be a hassle :-)
( i take it you still have your white one ?? )
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

wonder if finding one's favourite ice cream brand flavour in the shop freezer .. after a two year absence .. is a case of venus retrograde .. ( trivial off the cuff remark ;-) .. )

Yeah, my boyfriend goes skeet shooting... he's a Marine and has a little medal for being an expert with a rifle, so I can always go that way. Let's hope he knows what he's doing at least! >.> lol

Hmmmm.... Latin pool boy... I like this idea... "Yes, bend over just a bit more! You missed a leaf!" haha

Yeah, I've been playing some Stivie Ray Vaughn actually. Just learned the first part of Lenny. I love him, he's awesome. I do still have my white strat btw.

~ B.o.e. ~

** .. he's a Marine and has a little medal .. **
mmmmmmm .. i figured you'd have folk about whom could help ..
i wouldn't have mentioned blasting away otherwise :-)
skeet shooting is something i've never tried .. but have wanted to ..
~ http://www.traphof.org/inductees/oakley.htm ~

** .. Yeah, I've been playing some S R V .. etc etc ..**
.. ..
i like one really slow instrumental he did .. don't know the name ..
but i'll post an mp3 file sometime .. and some chord shapes (pics)

'n i mentioned this little beauty in another thread ..
but here's another opinion about the same ..
~ http://www.bigroadblues.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=6235&highlight=vox ~
and it really suites a strat !!! .. just about any tone you could want is in there :-))

** .. "Yes, bend over just a bit more! You missed a leaf!" .. ** ..
yeah .. you could get into strategic leaf placement sessions ..
the night before pool-cleaning is due .. :-)

i couldn't find a pic of latino pool attendant .. :-(
i googled 'pool cleaner' but got a load of strange looking mechanical devices ..

anyhow .. saw a neat looking pool .. which may or may not appear below ..
( as it's a' linked to' .jpg .. 'n they don't always work )

'later .. :-)

When I first saw the gridded area of the pool pic, it looked like a giant drain!!

I need either sleep or new eyesight-enhancers

Woooow HD.... That pool is entirely too complex for me, I'd get lost in it! lol That is really neat though. Like a labyrinth pool.

Lenny is a slow instrumental, that might be what you're thinking of. Nice amp... yes, I wish I could afford a new one, the one I have is crappy. I loved my Vox Valvetronix, Vox never fails to make great products.

re:

i finaly dug out 'Lenny' off a CD .. nice tune .. i like the way he starts to get bluesy mid-way ..
anyhow .. it weren't the one i had in mind ..
i've no idea of the title .. but here's is an mp3 link of the track ..

these are all fairly mellow ..

( *edit* 5th sept. '07 .. mp3s' now off server )

Awesome, thanks HD. Really enjoyed those.

And on a side note, I love British people. lol
"it weren't the one I had in mind .." That senence made me happy inside when I read it.

re: this ..
** Nice amp... yes, I wish I could afford a new one, the one I have is crappy.**
there is an advantage to that .. it will make you try harder ..
and you will realise that .. at the end of the day ..
a good sound really is down to one's fingers on the strings ..
a good player can just about make any amp or instrument sound good
and a not so great player can have the best equipment in the world ..
and still sound mediocre ..

so when you do get a better amp ..
all that hard slog with a not so great amp ..
will pay off ..

anyhow .. i just drew some rune stones ..
whilst thinking about a better amp setup for b.o.e.
and they told me .. something cool is trying to find you ..
my runes are always right .. havn't failed me yet ..
so don't give up hope on that level .. :-)

and .. one mp3 got left out this time ( server space )
be just a pop tune .. but the intro is neat ..
excellent use of an open C chord ..
at least i think thats how it's played ..
shall post it on next changeover ..

'till later then ..

Yep, you're right about the amp. It's not terrible, it's just that I've played with a lot better and I know what I'm missing. haha Same thing with bad guitars though. Playing a guitar with bad action pays off bigtime.

Man, I'd be happy beyond all reason if something cool were trying to find me! I have been slacking in the musical department ever since my guitar playing friends left town. I'm about to try and get a job at a guitar store though, so that should be fun. I know the guy, I'm sure he'll give me a job.
My life is in kind of a rut right now, a lot of weird things are happening. I guess music really is the only thing that makes sense anymore. lol

Awww, that's kind of a downer considering that I really do think you have such a great potential at Visual Art .

Hopefully you won't stop working on your skills with that anytime soon...

Hope the anger thing got worked out for you.. i've been finding myself getting worked up a lot more lately too, but I figured it for stemming from fatigue, stress, lack of sleep.. I'm hoping it goes away with adequate rest. If not, y'all will be hearing from me...

Well, I just wanted to pop in and provide a pool boy, just for kicks.. I'm kinda surprised someone else didn't do this already:

Thanks Xodian. ^_^ That means a lot. I hope you won't stop working on your skills any time soon either. I'm going to take some art classes at college in January, so they'll force me to work on them. lol I took one class in high school, but I didn't like the teacher.

'Zala~ You've got mail!

sunshine~ Yep, my anger thing got pretty much worked out. Hope yours does too! Lack of rest is a killer. I just pretty much live for weekends. Hope it gets better for you too.

And YES.... now that is my kind of pool boy! *laughing*
