wasburn d3's


Hey guys! I'm also a big fan of music. Particularly, the electric guitar. The old Metallica tunes were listenable and the new Megadeth songs are killer. I stopped playing for about 5-7 years, mainly cos my amp broke down. Then, I bought my Fender G-DEC last year and started to play again. Man, what a thrill. My main axe is a second hand, well worn, Onyx Les Paul wannabe and I've been looking for another one. Let me stress looking as these fiddles cost and arm and a leg. Especially, if you are converting to ringgit.
However, one style has really caught my eye which is the Washburn D3 or the Dean ML. If you listened to Pantera, you'll know that the late Dimebag Darrel was a legend. 'Cowboys from Hell', 'Walk', 'Cemetary Gates', listen to tha guitar scream. Anyway, I'm more inclined to the D3 cos it looks cooler and more insane then the ML. And also, cos I saw this guitar about 10 years ago in a music store in Australia. I was in college and I was having trouble making money to eat let alone buy a brand spanking new guitar. But since I got a steady job now, maybe I can get one of these beasts over. Hopefully. I missed out on the Blue Boogiebolts but Funky Munky is coming out with the Slimebolts. So there's hope. Wish me luck guys. Shaz

anime talk

ok. ok. I admit it. I'm an amateur anime junkie. I do follow Naruto and Bleach quite closely, thanks to the power of the Internet. The top one for me now is ......... MACROSS 7 !!! I was just curious about the series since I love Robotech ( I still haven't watched the original Macross SDF which I plan to do soon ). I think I watched one of the middle episodes of Macross 7 and thought its weird that this guy goes around singing at the enemy. It turned me off for a while and I was bz with catching up on Naruto and Bleach.
Then, I decided to do a search on Macross 7 and saw the entry in Wikipedia, then I found this site
http://video.animeepisodes.net/ and after 3 episodes, I'm hook. Transforming jets, fun soundtracks, cooky characters, fun mysteries, big spacefights, what's not to like about this show. If you're into all this stuff, you should give this anime a go. Meanwhile, let me catch up on episode 12.
FIRE BOMBER!!!
