Special Request

Damn I look out the window its DUSTY. The sky is orange.
So Shoush and navyooo, among several others requested a recorded sample of me playing the guitar.
Well I have crappy recording hardware, I recorded something on the classical guitar the other day, but it has an annoying noise. I will do another take w/ proper equipment, I'll have to rely on friends for that. Ok now you literally can't c anything outside.
Anyways Here's the recording in mp3 format and in zip format
Don't use headphones, in fact don't listen at all, I will submit a better recording soon. Its only for teh curious if you wanna hear it right NOW. If anyone has any experience w/ recording and knows how to get rid of the noise let me know.
Infact if someone is oferring recording equipments/expertise let me know.
I've been told b4 that when someone listens to me play they think its coming from the radio. The noise ain't doing it justice :(

Shoush's tag

I haven't been regular last week, infact I was absent last week. I think am due for a break.

Seven things I plan to do:

1- Get a fender american deluxe P bass guitar
2- Get a 1960B Cab to complement my Marshall half stack w/ a 1960A Cab
....translation: I have a 100 watt amplifier w/ one speaker and am planing to get a 2nd speaker. Going for loud
3- Taking a good break, going to somewhere nice. (no specifics)
4- change my training schedule at the gym, trying to get a better cut rather than growth.
5- Chill a lot and have fun
6- Explore different options for expanding my income
7- Find the one.

Seven things I can do

1- I can hold the guitar and improvise for hours, all would sound musically correct.
2- Genuinely be careless about surroundings.
3- See the big picture
4- Keep my thoughts and any secrets to myself
5- Play for hours on the minor scale and its derivatives (sad sounding)
6- Depending on my mood change the mood in the room accordingly
7- Fake interest in a conversation

Seven things I can't do
Hard to think of these

1- Can't handle (mojamalat and rasmmyyaat) for too long
2- listen for too long w/o drifting away.
3- Play major scale based melodies and feel them. (major scale is happy scale)
4- Enjoy staying w/ a group of people for long (one setting)
5- Can't do something really well if am not motivated or believe in it
6- Can't do something just b/c am supposed to do it, I have to be convinced its the thing to be done
7- Handle criticism well, especially when it comes from someone I don't trust.

Seven things I say the most:

1- Ay shay
2- 7adda
3- Fuckin assholes/ wtf man?
4- Yistiree7oon
5- off 3ajeeb
6- mmm (agreeing but not paying attention, not intentional, just drifted)
7- oh well

Weekend Finally!!!

Weekend here, enjoy every moment of it. We gonna have more dust or is it gonna start oven heat?

They say the good that men do; is often burried w/ their bones, but the evil that men do... Lives ON!!!
Iron maiden, The Evil That Men Do (source, darklyrics)

Love is a razor and I walked the line on that silver blade
Slept in the dust with his daughter, her eyes red with
The slaughter of innocence
But will pray for her.
I will call her name out loud.
I would bleed for her.
If only I could see her now.

Living on a razors edge.
Balancing on a ledge.
Living on a razors edge.

The evil that men do lives on and on....

Circle of fire my baptism of joy at an end it seems
The seventh lamb slain, the book of life opens before me
But I will pray for you
And some day I may return
Don't you cry for me
Beyond is where I learn.


Here r the rock legends, From Here to Eternity



Have a good weekend

Breaking NewZZZ!!!

Just when I was going to rant about lack of inspiration, isn't SlashDot the greatest site ever?
SlashDot reports that the 2 ships that cut the internet cables by dropping anchors in the wrong place were captured by satellite images. We discussed the story previously here
Google is following the developments of the story

ps manutd: I like your idea, I'll tell you something, I like to have fun. Some times the will is lacking though. In need of a catalyst.

Random finding

SlashDot reports that new estimates might increase the US oil reserve 10 times.

...a report by the US Geological Survey on the Bakken Formation. This is an oil field covering 200,000 square miles and underlying parts of North and South Dakota, Montana, and Saskatchewan. A geologist who began surveying the field, before dying in 2000, believed it may hold as much as 1 billion barrels of recoverable oil. Later estimates have ranged to the hundreds of billions of barrels. Such a reserve would go a long way toward securing US energy independence.

Would this be a significant factor on their energy independence?

**************************
EDIT:
And since the weekend is up, check out this off the wall radio show on the April's fools http://download.2600.com/mediadownload/www.2600.com/offthewall/mp3files/2008/off_the_wall__20080401.mp3
hillariuos.

Off the wall for those of you who don't know is a radio program hosted by emmanuel goldstein of 2600.com hacker quarterly magazine. He also hosts a geekier program called off the hook. Off the wall mainly deals w/ more huminitarian issues like human rights and stuff. Pretty interesting check it out.

Another Scam (Phishing)

Well this one was sent to me over the weekend
An email came to me by a friend's name on the msn list.
========
Hi Mr./Ms.
You Have Received a Greeting Card Sent By a Friend To You From Our Site 123Greeting IF You Want To See The Card (((CLICK HERE))) <--- "thats a link to jtyjtyjty.9f.com//index.htm"
P.S: This Greeting Card Will Be Deleted Automatically After 7 Days From Now. IF You Want To Send Your Family/Frind/Lover a Greeting Card Then We Are The Choosen. "Typo lolol"



ALL RIGHTS RESERVED TO 123Greetings.com

==============

Ofcourse the fradulent link takes you to a place where they ask for your passwd. Looks like something like this



This method is called phishing. Two possibilities: A- it was sent on purpose (unlikely) B- It was sent because the friend was infected (most likely). A further investigation shall reveal the unknowns in the story.
The oldest trick in the book, yet people still do that. Again I recognize I put no effort in protecting the site's identity. No reason I should eh?
