Wow i'm bitter. I'm stuck at my house for a three day weekend w/ no one to talk to except you guys and my cat. And frankly, my cat responds more. I just moved here june of last year, and my town sucks.

this is a joke by the way. There is a little old lady, who, every morning steps onto her front porch, raises her arms to the sky and shouts, "PRAISE THE LORD!"

One day an atheist moves into the house next door. He becomes irritated at the little old lady, so every morning, he steps onto his front porch after her and yells, "THERE IS NO LORD!"

Time passes with the two of them carrying on this way every day. Then one morning, in the middle of winter, the little old lady steps onto her front porch and shouts, "PRAISE THE LORD! Please Lord, I have no food and I am starving, provide for me, oh Lord!"

The next morning she steps onto her porch and there are two HUGE bags of groceries sitting there. "PRAISE THE LORD!" she cries out. "HE HAS PROVIDED GROCERIES FOR ME!"

The atheist neighbor jumps out of the hedges and shouts, "THERE IS NO LORD. I BOUGHT THOSE GROCERIES!!"

MISCHIEVOUS - I got your e-mail, wonderful work :-)), thanks!!

JS JP 41 - Drill Instructor is cool eh? I can't wait until Ricky releases his new album... haha, good joke btw.

Ovation - The Clever Shredder Who Was Truely Pooched, sounds like a bed time story for the kiddies, lmao! This story starts off with Yngwie being exiled from thee great kingdom of Alcatrazz. Sir Vai of New York was chosen to replace the furious man known as Yngwie and he was given the axe to guard the territory. He wore snake leather boots and very scary tight spandex pants, it was all the rage. Though his past clothing is now truely pooched, Sir Vai has joined forces with past axe master Sensai Satriani to take on the world with a hired 3rd axeman every few years. This trio of Fury has become a world powerhouse, lol... ah... I think I really should write a book someday, or at least make a concept album with that title, lol...

And I really hope Mr. Garcia releases that album soon, I'm sure it'll be awesome!! EDIT - Oh yah! I saw a commercial yesterday, there is this Japanese Drum Ensemble thing coming close to my town soon. Lol, guys using gongs and other Japanese type drums! lol, that would be kinda cool to go to... I forget the name, but if I see the commercial again, I'll let you know what it's called. But I think they ripped off our percussion orchestra idea, lol.

Alexandre - A Lagoon to kayak!? You're so lucky man, that would be awesome! We have some good lakes and the ocean, but a lagoon would be so cool, lol. I hope I'll get to visit your country sometime... and the new guitar is great! It sounds awesome... I had it plugged into my Line6 GuitarPort on my computer yesterday. The pickup in it works very nicely. Thanks for asking! Have fun in Lisbon bro...

Mowlie/Prez - Happy 300 guys!

Everybody Check out This Guy: Scott Landers. He has muscular dystrophy and he absolutely rocks on guitar!! Check out his tunes... I'm really impressed by him. Here's his website too.

OVATION1 - Dear friend, i can`t describe what i`m feeling now. I did in 1989 Karate Shotokan for about 10 months under the Sensei Funakoshi Philosophy. I`ve found a photo in Karate section about Sensei Funakoshi. I had one photo of him on the DOJO where i usually praticed Karate :-)). Amazing :-))!!! I didn`t know that Okinawa are Islands. It has beautiful beaches as well :-)). Where you living, in NAHA? My city is known in Portugal for your traditional ceramic as well, wonderful coincidence lol. About food, CHAMPURU looks pretty cool :-))). OKINAWA is a PARADISE ;-)). CONGRATULATIONS DEAR FRIEND, great place to live :-)). Thanks a lot for the Link. Have a nice day.
