Building pedals

I want to build my own effects pedal as well as a guitar. I think it would be awesome to have something I completely build on my own, and apparently they sound worlds better than pedals like Boss and Digitech. I think I'm going to try to buy a kit and build it after Christmas. I love how you can put your own style on the graphics and such, and change the sound around. I think I'm gonna have a blast with it.

I'm also back to playing guitar more often too. It's good to start playing and building my skill up a little. I'm nowhere near where I used to be, but I'm better than I was a month ago. I'm amazed at how much I will always suck, but at least I'm getting better.

ZZ Top

One of the coolest bands of all time is ZZ Top. La Grange is quite possibly one of the greatest rock songs ever produced. I think Billy Gibbons is sounding even better in his old age. I would kill to go to a live concert of theirs. I really really really really want to. Claire, you wanna go see some rock gods? Even John Mayer digs these guys!








By the way, the more I see that pussy J. Mayer play, the more I like him. Nice job holding your own with the big boys, Mayer!

Black Ops Revisited

Well, I ended getting Black Ops from Claire. Its a good game, but not nearly on the same level as Modern Warfare I and II. The end was a little hokey and the story didn't grip me like the last two. Ah well, can't make a killer every time I suppose. Perhaps the next one. In a year. Hopefully...

Santa's Tramp

The song "Santa Baby" by Eartha Kitt has to be one of the sluttiest songs written in the 50's. At work it comes on about 6 to 8 times a day, and every day I hear another lyric that confirms she's a gold digger looking to get bling for sexual favors from Santa. And she wants a ring. She doesn't mean on the phone.

But hey, what do you expect from Catwoman?

Telecaster

I want to build a guitar. I want a simple telecaster that is beat up and minimal. I want a Snakehead style head stock, single pick up, and thin finish. Maybe a La Cabronita pick up set up. I want a nice easy player. And I want to build it from the little pieces up.
