who'd have thunk it...

Sign in to disble this ad
So i've been practicing for this audition I have tomorrow and I tied a bandana around my right wrist (I often wear braclets of some sort when I play). Anyway come to find out the bandana helps a lot with my picking. The cotton fabric slides with the satin finish smoothly and allows me to change strings a lot quicker. It's actually helped a lot on the more difficult part of the song.

I had to do some quick research but having done so I can say without reservation sign me up for the wogs dawg. I'd rather bite down on a file and rip it outta my mouth than be a thetan or anything else that would make me attractive to a ******* scientologist. It's ok to bash these idiots isn't it? i don't wanna go to hell or nuthin...

it's ok to bash everybody these days. eh, live and let live i say, but i have no interest in it personally. i don't remember anything before i got here and i'm sure i won't remember anything when i'm dead, so i'm not sweating this afterlife stuff.
