Part II
marimariSRV: Thank you very much for saying that. I do know how lucky I am for having someone like her. I never knew anything like this was possible. I went against every instinct, every thing I thought I knew about love and life, and this is where I ended up. I love that quote by the way. Carlin I believe, after the Sept. 11 attacks. Very much true. Don't worry, I'm sure you'll find the kind of love you're looking for. You have to just let go completely. Forget about protecting your heart, your pride, your self esteem. When you find that person, the one worth risking everything for, just let it all hang out. Go for broke and don't look back. Stare the gods of fear right into their eyes and tell them to get fucked. It took me four months to talk Miranda into going out with me without it being about friendship. I told her several times I wanted more than that, and she shot me down more times than I care to remember. Everything and everyone told me I was wasting my time, but I knew she was the one, so there was no stopping me. It was quite liberating to drop all of my fears, and let my guard down, make myself look like a complete jackass or whatever to impress upon her that I was very much in love with her. My patience and stubbornness paid off ten fold. I won't ever let my pride get in the way of love again. Like they say, love conquers all. Fear. Pain. Coma. I'm a believer now, more than ever. Jeez, I talk a lot lol.
Austin: Dude, I'm so ready to go buy a microwave tomorrow. There's generally tons of yard sales on fridays, I may just have to take the dog for a walk around the neighborhood, see what I can find. Shit, I'll have to bring it back. Can't carry it that far. Will get in trouble for driving. I'll pay the neighbor's kid to haul it in a wagon or something lol. This is gonna be fun. Oh, and I got an email from Sony! Will miracles ever cease?
michelle: The squirrel is too cool. He was hanging out with us all evening, out on the porch. I don't know much about squirrels, but I have to assume his mother wouldn't approve of him playing with us lol. And, what you said to Joeman9, wow. That is as heartwarming and nice as anything I've read in this place ever. I was already feeling better and you just improved my mood by at least 100%. Thank you. Life is good.

hi Joe
People say you are also playing the Belgium Rhythm 'n' Blues Festival (Peer, Belgium), July 18th. Is this correct?

SSA- im not quite sure what squeels u heard, but there were some high pitched sounds that sounded like a combo of wah-wah pedal and note bending, maybe trem thrown in. my favorite satch song... i tried to learn it a couple years ago but got frustrated, i have zero patience and when i dont get results right away i throw the guitar down LOL... for me its play by memory, i dont think anyone can really become a good guitarist playing by memory... you have to learn it, and make the knowledge become innate, having a natural gift helps too...none of which i possess. good luck with the tune.

Argh... T2J is bugging me. I thought I lost a post earlier tonight, but I was able to salvage it by doing a few ctrl + refresh things... I lost the post I just made though, so here's another, somewhat similar, one:
Sammy Andrews - No, I didn't do anything overly special to the hamburgers this time around. I used some boring seasoning, but that's all. I LOVE mixing chopped onions into the hamburger patties before I grill them. Maybe I'll do that next time...
juju808 - Live On is an awesome album, but I actually like the other two a lot more... Some of the covers on Live On (Oh Well, Changes) are so cool. I think Trouble Is... is my favorite KWSB album.
Ya Yo Gakk - You're perplexed? Don't worry about it...haha. ;-) I think you understand most of it...
Most people who download music aren't music fans at all. They like certain songs that are on the radio because they're "cool".
"people who rip off an artist by downloading their music and keeping it without buying, arent fans afterall...so maybe the artist isnt really losing"
The artist is still losing money, even if the person who stole the music may not be a real "fan". That point is irrelevant. Stealing is stealing.
Ugh... ;-) Some people are just stupid. I'm so sick of hearing them come up with new ways to rationalize their theft.
trutina - Click here for some better instructions for your CDR / microwave fun. Click here if you want to see a spiffy picture of the end result.
:-)
...Austin...

hey joe, iam jamis from Northern Ireland, Just watched G3 live in Denvour and I have to say it is awesome , i have the 1996 g3 with Eric johnson and i must have watched it 1000times lol. i just signed up there out of pure bordomness. Iam currently in a band called Lsdlucy which is Starting to kick off althuogh we are finding it hard to get gigs because ppl think we are too good and would gain more crowd attention, the fact that we have only been going for barely 7 months and playing the hardest of megadeth covers and metallica no one gives us a chance to show our talent, oh well... did you ever experience this?. it must be just the crappy scene over here lol. anyway cheak out our website www.lsdlucy.cjb.net .jamis.

thanks for all the cold med suggestions, feeling better, although i'm still deaf as a haddock.....
should i be going to Queensryche? wasnt sure if i would still like them, its been so long since i've listened to their music....they're here April 23. I think im going to Johnny Lang in June...
trutina: i hate it when you do that! dont type such long posts at once! so im wondering why the doctors havent figured you out yet? why not? there must be something they can do for you? are you going to specialists?
loved the squirrel story. i had a chipmunk i was feeding bird seed last year. he was so cute. he would come running when i would stand in a certain spot. i did it cuz my mom had done it at her house, and i wanted to see if i could get one to eat out of my hand too. so anyways the funny part is that they kept coming and coming...so eventually it was nuts, so she started trapping them, and taking them down the street and letting them out! she's so mean! what if the families wer split up! i would call the house and my dad would say, "oh she's out for a drive, getting rid of some chipmunks"! meanie.

i call myself guitar widow because i am one, i recently bought tickets for my fella to see you at Nottingham on the 28th June in the UK, its his 30 birthday pressent, i just wanted to say that he cried with tears of joy and excitment as he idolises you and Vai. He started playing at the age of 11 and has played session guitar for Cradle of Filth etc, he has most if not all of your stuff, but seeing you play at G3 will make his dreams come true. Keep the good work up, thanks xxxx

I was looking at the new Ibanez JS1200 today...that is a bad ass guitar...Unfortunetely, I am not too fond of the Peavey. I dont like the company personally. I am a Marshall guy.

All that talk about hamburgers made me hungry, and I haven't had breakfast yet : Þ
Tastey, I'd go see Queensryche. While they aren't the same band they were 10 years ago, Geoff Tate has a pretty amazing voice. I last saw them on the Empire tour where they played the entirety of Operation: MIndcrime in sequence. That was something to watch.
Bill, I'd be a tad careful about the squirrel. Don't let it run up your leg, you know what they like to chew on ;-)

This sucks... Sony hasn't sent me an e-mail that they shipped and of course now the site doesn't say that. But I used standard so It'll probably be awhile and I ordered the thing almost as soon as I got to that page and that was quite a while ago... Oh well
DCK you're back!!!!!
