For the past few years I’ve had a mental note (to myself) that I would not get married until everyone could legally do this. I’m talking about my gay brothers and sisters here. Anyone should be allowed to put a ring on it.
But
Then I realized I’d probably never get married, so that’s not much of a stand to take. Sorry.
Thus
I decided I would not attend any weddings either, until such time as everyone could have their own.
And
I know it’s not much, but it’s a start.
NOTE, FROM RIGHT NOW: Anyone thinking about writing to me about “the sanctity of holy matrimony” and all that crap is advised to turn on a TV or pick up a copy of People magazine and rethink their arguments. Such people should also learn to live with being mentally pwned by a ten year old kid.
I discovered my new delay/looping pedal can do continuous notes. No gaps! My old pedal (which admittedly wasn’t so hot) couldn’t do this. I didn’t think my new one could do it either, until I accidentally did the following:
Start a loop, but don’t actually play anything
Play a note with the guitar’s volume all the way down
Slowly fade the volume back up
Repeat steps 2–3 as necessary
????
SPACE ROCK!
At some point I should really make a video of this process, so I can put it on youtube and have everyone say that it’s FAKE. Yeah, about that: see below!
So far my output has been really quiet for some reason
And I have really bad line noise coming from somewhere (shitty cables?)
Distortion makes the bad line noise even worse, so no bowel-shaking drone metal just yet
NOTE, FROM THE FUTURE: Here is a totally FAKE video I made:
ANOTHER NOTE, ALSO FROM THE FUTURE: The line noise/quiet output only seems to be a problem with headphone rockin’ (which is a problem in many other ways). I’ve been playing through an amp, really loudly, and the output’s been fine. The line noise is about what you’d expect when you also have a billion other pedals, so no complaints here.
Sometimes after I’ve had a really weird dream (like, almost every night), I’ll have another one shortly after that consists of me telling someone about the weird dream I just had. They are probably bored by this, but sometimes annoying one imaginary person is not enough. So I have to blog1 a blog2 on my blog3 about these dreams.
The next time you see someone on TV squirting tears for the press, remember: they’re not sorry for what they did, they’re sorry they got caught. More public apologies should be like this hypothetical one.
Pic(ture found on inter-net that is) related:
PS—Sorry I posted a picture that had a bad word in it. The bad word was “twat”.
So, let’s set the wayback machine to a more innocent time. Barring that, let’s go back to October 19, 2006. I wrote this in my inter-net livejournal online blog page site:
Title: I cold invented a word tonight
I uttered the new word “GROINTMENT” many times in the course of this evening.
A. said, “I think ‘groin’ is the ugliest word in the English language” and Ted said that “ointment” was even worse, so of course I had to top them both.
GROINTMENT. Groin + Ointment = Grointment!
GROINTMENT! “Dapper Dan, for the groin!” (tm Ted)
G R O I N T M E N T !
Order now, operators are standing by…

And then, I came up with the best song title ever: “Frodo applies the grointment to Sam”. I am never drinking again.
