Rock music. What happened to guitar solos? Why do bands not do that anymore? It doesn’t have to be a long fast 2 minute thing, just a short section.

Even bands that used to make it a point to have a nice long one in every song like Metallica. Kirk Hammett hasn’t had any sort of solo in his last few albums which is crazy. What happened to him? A solo is how a guitarist puts in his creative stamp on a song. You’d think they could hardly wait so they could bust out and express themselves. Now its all power chords and memorable hooks. You don’t need two rhythm guitarists for that crap.

Remember the solos in Aerosmith – Amazing, Guns ‘N Roses – November Rain, Metallica – One, Pink Floyd – Comfortably Numb, Led Zeppelin – Stairway to Heaven, Lynard Skynard – Free Bird etc.

I decided to put on a freshly washed black T-shirt today that I noticed had a bit of lint on it. An hour after I was wearing it I noticed a white mark on it so started flaking it off thinking it was dried laundry soap.

Upon closer examination and more scratching with my fingernail, the mark turned into a perfectly shaped white circle. I felt as though I was uncovering a treasure to unearth buried Indian handicrafts.

Using a bit of water and a nearby jacket I diligently continued rubbing the circle off. Soon, I began to smell the scent of old coffee around me. You know the kind…it’s on your car seat and in your cup holder.

I smelled the ring on my shirt and low and behold – I have a stinky ring on my shirt.
Who the hell would put a leaky cup of coffee cup on someone’s newly washed shirt? It was down in the laundry room on the drying rack. I don’t see how that could have been possible.

Here’s what I’m thinking: Someone went down to do laundry with a coffee in their hand. They were being stupid by doing too many things at once and spilled the thing. They looked around for a place to put it down and since there was only my white deep freezer, they needed a rag or coaster. The only thing near was my rack of clothes. They took the darkest shirt so the coffee wouldn’t show up and used my shirt as a frickin’ coaster. They did their business, put my shirt back and left.

I’m making a new peeve. “People who use other people’s black t-shirts as coffee cup coasters.”

I just ate a subway 6″ turkey sub – I think.
I’m not sure if I imagined it or I ate it. From what I remember, it was two very thin cuts of meat, the bread weighed like nothing and had no taste and crumbled in my hands. I’m as hungry as I was before the dream happened but I know it must have been real because there’s 5 bucks missing from my wallet and coins in my pocket that weren’t there before.

Subway stopped cutting their bread down from above in a wedge shape because since they’ve started making their own bread it’s only 1/2 as high.

On another note: I wanted to put a rock pathway around my patio with stepping stones. I found the free stones from the side of a road that normally cost $5 each which leaves me needing the small river wash pebble stuff. I needed a lot of it and it’s $5 a bag at Home Depot. I figure I needed about 40 bags at least. I found this place on the side of the road that almost looks like a strawberry U-Pick. It’s got mountains of different rocks and landscaping stuff with a guy in a little hut and tractor. It’s $30 for a tractor bucket full or $8 a large recycling bin so I got 3 bins that cost me $20. It’s about 300 lb of rock sitting in my car so I might need new shocks tomorrow and a new back. I can get both at Canadian Tire.

Beer.com is my favorite podcast.

If you don’t know what a podcast is, it’s a downloadable radio show that you can listen to on your iPod or pc.

Purpose: One sugar is too sweet in a small coffee.

Experiment: I order a medium coffee with one sugar and it’s still too sweet. As liquid volume grows and sugar stays the same, net sweetness should decrease.
False.
I order an extra large coffee with one sugar, it was almost sweeter than the small.

Conclusion: They don’t know what the hell they’re doing.

Also, the new triple chocolate donut from Tim Hortons is horrible. This was the first time I’ve thrown out a half eaten donut.

Enough of this crap, when I pay off my car I’m getting another bike.

Stephen King just cannot make decent movies.

I’m an uncle !My brother Mike and Michelle had a baby boy. He came a month early and was a Caesarean Section–but they’re ok.

In auto mechanics class we learned how to clean our throttle body/air intake valves in about 5 minutes that boosts performance and gas economy.

It’s a bad idea to say “It’s out of my hands” at a business meeting.
