USC Trojan Marching Band To Play Avenged Sevenfold's "Almost Easy" At Rose Bowl Halftime Show
Band Photo: Avenged Sevenfold (?)
The USC Trojan Marching Band will perform Avenged Sevenfold's hit single "Almost Easy" during the Rose Bowl's halftime show on January 1, 2009. The broadcast begins at 1:30 p.m., with halftime starting at approximately 3:40 p.m. All times are PST.
The Trojan Band has already garnered a lot of attention earlier this year when it performed the song at a USC vs. Stanford game and a bootleg video was posted online.
Now, the Marching Band's performance of "Almost Easy" at the Rose Bowl will likely make it onto national television as ABC guarantees a three-minute portion of halftime be shown live.
You can watch the first performance from the Stanford game below, after the jump.

I don't remember if I've banned Kornboy before. Like I said previously to Jake, it's been months since I banned anyone. I'm so busy I can't remember what I had for breakfast! But I have to say the thought has crossed my mind with some of the recent trollish posts. Kornboy - try contributing something productive for a change.

Bruno: Indeed it was epic! BTW, I have to thank you as a Dolphin fan for keeping the Patriots out of the playoffs. Cheers brother.
godlike: I think there are some big changes comming this year for your Chiefs during the off season. How slick would it be for you guys to land Bill Cowher as head coach? Closet Eagles fan huh? lol. I've still got the Waters jersey too, as well as the creepy huge headed Waters mini figure (in the box still).

mhd101 - hey man, thats a good thing... being in the land of "cheeseheads" and not being a football fan makes me like ya even more.....I hate the Packers as much as the Cowgirls...!!
And a Happy Metal New Year to you also..!!
Bg1 - Yeah, Cowher in the head coaches seat would be a nice addition.... also seen some chatter of perhaps Shottenhiemer as GM too..??
LOL... the huge headed mini figures... hahaha.. I have a Marcus Allen..!!
Bruno - Yes, it was great to see the Dolphins take the division and make the playoffs....!! Im assuming after that win you were suffering from a severe case of "bowlio" huh..?? LOL

BlindGreed- No worries bro! After all these years the Pats are watching the paly-offs from home. Seems the Patriots are a totally different team without their coach spying on the opposition, wouldn't you say?
Godlike- I was partying all day yesterday, bro! I had my first case of Bolio at about 6:30AM, LOL. I started drinking when Dolphins game began at one and by the time game 2 (San Diego vs. Denver) ended eight hours later I was trashed.
MetalheadDrummer- Don't worry, you are still young. When you get older you will realize that watching sports is just another excuse to have a good time with friends and family by having a few cold ones and eating some good food.
TOG- I don't think you missed much it was pretty quiet last week; what with the holiday and all.

I am a Miami fan, so I should be happy, but I'm a bit apathetic really. I'm just not thrilled with their identity of late. They let a number of great defensive players go in recent years, added Pennington (who is better than most QBs they've had since Marino, but still not a great QB and not particularly likeable to me either) and just the fact that they even gave Ricky Williams the chance to play again after he bailed annoys me - he is almost solely responsible for the downward spiral of recent years when he was supposed to be the foundation to build on. As far as home teams go, I'm partial to Baltimore (over Washington), so if the Dolphins happen to lose their first playoff game, I will not be upset at all and will be cheering the Ravens on.

DB: The Ravens are going to be tough without a doubt. When their offence is firing they are pretty much unstopable. They put a smack down on my Eagles earlier this year. As far as Miami is concerned, they are still in the building stage. I believe that over the next few years they will evolve into a team that will pleasently suprize you.
Bruno: I think there's actually two reasons. The first you mentioned and the second... Tom Brady. As much as I hate to admit it, that guy is awesome.
godlike: Those things are just creepy as hell. I kept mine becuse it was a gift from my dad. He was a huge Cowboy fan, so i'm sure it took a lot for him to spend his money on it. lol. I also heard the Sottenhimer talk yesterday. Shottenhimer and Cowher would be the perfect storm for the Chiefs.

Godlike, it's easier to chat when the thread is still young. Once it gets too big, it's hard to keep up on. I am a waning NFL fan it seems. I just don't get to watch as many games as I'd like, although I hope to catch more of the playoffs. I am a big MMA/UFC fan and have been more into that the past couple of years.

Now that was spendy...2 Danes and the Newf were eating 50-60 lbs a week.... Sadly, the Newf died at only a 18 mnths old... he was the largest dog Ive ever seen... 160lbs at 7mnths.... 240lbs when he died..!!

TOG - Yeah.. Diesil, was a monster...but he was a big teddy bear.... actually, I have never seen a more laid back, lazy dog... It was funny to watch him lay down in front of the food dish...blocking the Danes from getting any food....when the Danes would get close to the food, he would start growling....
So, I would have to separate the dogs, just so the Danes could eat..!! LOL
He was snipped at 7mnths (thats how I knew his weight) but it still didnt stop him from tackling the Danes and humping the hell out of em... LOL... I never did figure out why he was doing it, if he was fixed.... but it never stopped him ;-)
He ended up dying of a stroke during the summer of 04..!!

mhd101 - Heres a suggestion for an odd band to check out.. Raging Slab
They got started in the early 80s... described themselves as a cross between Metallica and Lynyrd Skynyrd..!! yeah an odd combination and quite an amazing band..! There are some tunes on youtube even...
My favorite tune is "Get off My Jollies"... that particular tune shows the combination best \m/
Kali - It seems that you and the yeti, have a bit of a strange relationship... but then I am certainly not one to judge by no means..!! You know all to well of the situation I live in ;-)
I can only wish you luck... and that the new year brings you all the happiness you deserve \m/
Bruno - Yeah, the Gene and Tony footage is quite odd... even them talking of influences and interests is something that just looks uncomfortable..!!
BB - I wish you luck with your guitar playing... it takes time... but its so cool, when it all falls into place.... Hell, Ive been playing for 30yrs, and Im still learning..!!
I enjoy watching Youtube videos of others playing... its a cool place to learn new tunes and techniques..!!

I knew a kid all throughout school who was straight edge. Alot of kids go through the straight edge phase but he was the only one who kept it up from 6-12th grade. I used to joke with him by saying he was gay because, as you know, straight edgers do not have sex out of wedlock. The funny part is, I ran into him a few years after high school and he was with his boyfriend.

Since I was a kid I've been very heavy into viking history and mythology. To this day I still read as much as I can. Amon Amarth is one of those bands I heard and automatically connected with. The references to viking legend, the epic feel of it, the heaviness. Just a great band.

Godlike- Hey, you got the Purple Chamomile so it'a all good. If I didn't have a party to go to (AKA a place to crash) I wouldn't be going out either. I hate driving on New Year's. All the novices come out and ruin it for everyone else.
MHD101- Damn. Well, at least find some good porn to whack off to or something. I fired off some Knuckle Children off to some Jenna Haze porn last night. She does mostly lesbian porn, and is stunning. Local girl from OC who made it big, LOL!

Metalhead: They actually did a whole album of Metallica called "Apocalyptica Plays Metallica On Four Cellos". You should give it a listen if you like their instrumentals. There are no vocals on that album at all.
I don't do a lot of porn so i'm not familiar with this Jenna beauty you all speak so highly of. I deliberately avoid it because of all the the viruses. I can't afford another crash. After I bought my last comp I swore that sh!t off.

Im actually thinking of thinning the herd, to free up some cash to invest in some kit guitars on Ebay... Im thinking of making a few more like the one I have pictured on myspace.... hoping maybe there is a market for em..???
mhd101- The Pearl set was a Forum series with an extra bass drum added, along with a full set of Zildian ZBTs.... All purchased for the ol ladies kid, who played it a couple times, and then it collected dust for 3yrs, until my buddy bought it for $500 last summer.... yeah, a loss of about $700 didnt even phase his mother.... he is such a spoiled little brat..!!

The replica posters are rather cool and are made for alot of outlaws.... western gunfighters, mobsters like "Machine gun Kelly"...Bonnie and Clyde....etc.. up to and including Manson and the "Nightstalker"....!!
I was checking out a cool one this morning and thought of you.... Its a Wanted poster for just Clyde of Bonnie and Clyde fame... shows him sitting on the bumper of a car holding a couple guns...with a $500 reward...!! Cool huh.? It would be perfect for that singer of Blind Greed;-)
Havent finished the movie yet... too many phone calls,emails and posting to do.... its a 1971 movie... It was listed on Stephen Kings top 10 horror movies of all time...so I thought Id check it out..??

They come with either the Strat shaped headstock or the Kramer banana/hockeystick headstock.... both kits have unfinished maple necks and fretboards ;-)
It depends on what price I can get the kits for and then adding the other materials ( posters, stains and my secret adhesive materials ;-)
Im sure we could work out some sorta deal... Yours would be alot cheaper than Id sell em on Ebay ..... thats a FOR SURE..!!

Bassically, I learned a while back to just write them all down and whenever I need new lyrics I pull out the napkins, notes, receipts and everything else I happen to have in front of me when it hits me and assemble them together with a random or sometimes even a predetermined riff.

If you've been together for as long as you have and he still surprises you in a negative way, you need to re-think your situation. Now, by no means do I think it's easy. I'm just saying hard decisions might be in order for you both.

Kali: Near death experiences often cause people to regret what they haven't accomplished in their lives in comparison to what they envisioned for themselves. I think it's all an illusion. Nothing is EVER as good as we imagined it would be in our minds. It sounds to me like he's on a fast track to a bout with depression (just one man's opinion). Think it over Kali and do what is best for you. You can't make decisions like this over night. It's best to sit on it for a while until all the dust settles. Emotions are the detours of a clear thought process. Until that time comes and you are sure you know what your going to do, you have people here to listen to you vent. Afterall... We's family!

It's already happened a couple times and for both of us it was usually followed by intense physical intimacy. Sorry :) Seriously though. It might have shook him up a bit, but sounds to me like he needs to take a look at what HE is doing to make his life better, and while it's good to hold onto those things we want out of life, it's also important to be thankful for what and WHO we have. This whole situation sounds to me like it was born out of fear, but also from a seriously selfish standpoint. YOU need to make more money so HE can do what he wants? Like there are a slew of women out there willing to support him and he's missing out? That'd be hard for me to hear from someone I trust. And I would probably think like you are.

Kali: I think you already know the answer to the question you put to Netro. The best advice I can give you is to sit on it for a while and consider all of the possibilities before you make a decision based on emotion and confusion. I'm sure that you have taken the time to show him what is really important to you before. He also needs to consider his options as well. It sounds to me like he may need some professional help Kali. I will not begin to pretend that I understand what goes on in a womans mind, but i'm willing to bet that you will find the answers you need with careful consideration.
Now, to cheer you up: My friend Jaysin knows Shagrath and many other Norse Blek Metl folks from his time spent with them in Norway. He lived with Nick from The Shining (I think is the name of the band) for a while. Soon, he will join us here at MU so you will have another metal brother to growl with.

It's me and my drummer Jim against Jsin and my lady the Gothic Queen. Someone is probably going to end up on the couch for the night. I'm betting it's going to be me. lol.
Kali: I laughed because Jsin takes this quite seriously and to him it's also very personal. I ribbed him yesterday and told him that he was spending more time with his bible than most Christians do. As he said. It's going to be a good read by the time he's finished. Did you ever read the last part of post #128? It's a little background about my Brother Jsin and his musical tastes. He's taking the whole Gaahl thing pretty hard right now. He didn't find out until last week.
godlike: I look forward to both emails Brother. I wish I could join you in your purple haze tonight.

"Myths of the Norsemen From the Eddas and Sagas" by H.A. Guerber is a quick read, but any of the Eddas and Sagas are better reads on their own. The Volsunga Saga, The Olaf Trygvasson Saga, or the Jomsvikinga Saga. I wish I could read them in Old Norse but I'm not THAT dedicated :)
"Heimskringla: or the Lives of the Norse Kings" by Snorri Sturlason is good as well. In fact anything by Snorri Stulason is great. If you are into non-fiction
"A History of the Vikings" by Gwyn Jones is pretty informative, but a very dry read, you have been warned.
The books that really drew me into Viking history and myth as a kid were D'Aulaires Guides, Greek and Norse were both good. Made for kids, but not kiddish if that makes sense. And finally but no where near final, "Eaters of the Dead" is a great take on the Beowulf story by Michael Crighton. I've read it about a dozen times. Hope this helps :)

Mostly games like Oblivion, Fallout 3, RPG's. Fantasy/Sci-Fi stuff over squad based shooters. I don't play WoW anymore so I pass the time on my XBox instead.

I'm a total geek. I honestly have more hobbies than I know what to do with. Not just games. But I am telling you guys here on MU, Left 4 Dead is pretty damn good. They make good use of the Mature rating with language and gore. The game is set up like 4 separate Zombie movies. You need to stick close to the other characters as you move to the safehouses or you WILL get over-run by hordes of zombies. Keep track of ammo and first aid and keep your eyes open. Definately feels like they made this game for the avid horror movie fan.

That breaks my heart, I've wanted my own drum set for months now since I picked it up again. Plus having a great source for learning guitar right there in the house with him. Too bad really. But I was a lazy kid too, I suppose. I'd have more games, but I sell them or give them to family members when I'm done with them.

Netro - yeah, the kid had his own guitar and tried playing a couple times... said it hurt his fingers and never picked it up again... The same with the drum kit.... whined to his mom that it hurt to play the drums.... well duh... when you dont use any other muscles than the ones in your fingers... its gonna hurt for awhile..!!!
But in a matter of a couple days... the drums started collecting dust and finally, last summer my drummer buddy bought em..!!
Like he needed another set... Now, he has 3 full double bass kits..!! Which is almost as bad as me havin a room full of guitars... LOL

His baby, is a full double bass Ludwig kit that dates to the mid 70s... it sounds fantastic..!!
Im thinking its 9 peices including 2 diff.sizes of floor toms....and then I think there must be about 6 different size Zildian cymbals...!! Its a WAY NICE setup...!!

I see his f-cking EYEBALLS rollong down the road, batman.... and his forking nuts turned to mashed potato, charlie brown. F-CK kiss my @ss,

I tried to cheat, and jump ahead of the game play.... I had f-ckers LAID OUT and I was f-cking blowing their f-cking heads off but they would not die... so I have to go according to the game play.
Oh, well .. I will just go according to the game play and bow their f-cking heads off anyway....

Most all Tele style guitars, have a damn pickguard ( which hampers the application of the picture to the body... and then there is the problem of those guitars having that one piece steel bridge peice that surrounds that bridge PU...and then the control plate too... those things would end up covering a good portion of the picture...??

Bg1 - Well, to start off with... an Alder, Basswood or Poplar body and a bolt on neck would make it significantly lighter than any Gibson model..!
There are Les Paul style guitar kits made, that have Alder or Basswood bodies..? But the drawback to that is that it would be best to upgrade tuners, PU and even bridge... But then again, there are also other options..?
The easiest and best way to go, is to buy a used guitar, without a Floyd or Kahler tremelo.... that has decent components to start with..? Perhaps something like an 80s Peavey Tracer or an Ibanez Roadstar for example..??
Some of those were made with just a Strat style tremelo( takes up less space than a Floyd) or no tremelo at all... and have only a single PU.. or 1hum and a couple singles... but the single holes could be filled in..??
Do you have a preference as to a particular brand..??
If your gonna use it for just slide playing... the action will have to be set so high that it will be uncomfortable to play normally...... so mulitple PUs and tremelo systems wouldnt even be used anyway..??
I will send some pics of a few different models that could be used..?? Dont "fret" it.... I will come up with something that will work for ya..!!
No matter what guitar is used, the body is gonna be completely stripped of paint and stained to look like that project body youve seen pics of...!!
OK, so Im gonna be heading out to my tat apt... I will email some pics and ideas tonight..!!

Yeah, the hole in the sleeve idea came about, because the ink wouldnt stick in the tough skin at the pinnacle of the elbow.. it was tried a couple times... and it would always scab up and come out within weeks....

Wiggles: Gein inspired Dead Skin Mask by Slayer. Couple that together with the fact that nearly every serial killer (fiction) movie ever made has a little Ed Gein in it and I would say that far outweighs the deeds of the Unibomber. Edmund Kemper and Richard Ramirez are also worth mentioning because as was Gein, they all played a very personal role with their victims whereas Ted just sent things through the mail.

Yeah I usually don't put down bands, we are all different and we like what we like, hopefully despite popular opinion. My neice listens to stuff like that actually and I'm exposed to bands like A7F and Bullet for My Valentine every once in a while. I never put her down for what she likes. She also listens to alot of old Bay Area thrash bands cause of me and her dad. I gave her my old Epiphone Bass from when I was a kid and shes been learning ever since. There's a band called Between the Buried and Me that really piqued my interest and I suppose its the same style of music. Just seemed much more prog influenced is why they caught my ear. Not sure what I'm saying, I guess it took a little girl to teach me to be accepting of all people's tastes and never let my own views overshadow my acceptance of others.

As the biggest Trivium hater of perhaps anyone i Know, I will say that the song "Down From the Sky" gets constant attention on my windows media player. Considering I have a few thousand per playlist, that means I listen to it once a week. lol

Both working for the same company, different stores. He gets fired, she quit. So now my Wife's Regional Manager doesnt want married couple's working in the same district. The timing is perfect. Just pisses me off, pay wouldnt be that good but the benefits are very nice. Yes, I'm purposefully not naming the company :)

MHD101, you'll understand when you're older. I mean no offense by that, I'm simply saying, you'll understand. In the eyes of the law, Bush did nothing wrong. He entered into a war with approval from Congress. That is all you need. Ther intel thing was botched, and he owned up to it, but we can't leave now. Ask the troops on the ground what is going on, and you will get a different story that the media wants you to hear. Obama, nor anyone in the House, can try him for anything. Clinton was never brought up on perjury charges, therefore, Bush will not be brought up on anything either.
Don't expect Mr. Hope-and-Change to dramatically alter the state of our country. He supported every bail out plan, which W. had nothing to do with getting themselves into that situation, and he wants a huge stimulus package which will do nothing but bury us more in debt. People, by nature are relatively stupid. Give 300 million people another free check, and see what they do with it. Uncle Sam just gave me a $150 a pay period, pay raise. Do you think that I will be using that to but needless things? No my friend, that is another bill paid out of my check, and not my wife's. It's called fiscal responsibility, and it what has gotten over half of our population, myself included, in deep doo-doo. Difference between the other half is, we learn from our mistakes.
I am working to resolve my situation so we don't have to eat sloppy joe's and hot dogs every week. That is called being personally accountable for the situation we are in, and not expecting a handout from Big Brother. That is called Integrity.

MHD101: Yeah, it's sarcasm (in AP's absence). Re-read what he posted. He's trying to tell you that we (the people) are the responsible parties in this thing. It's up to us to sink or swim. Pointing fingers is useless and usually a distraction from the truth. Quoting Obama's campaign propaganda will do about as much as Obama can... Nothing. Furthermore, (and this is my two cents) there isn't a man/woman on the face of this earth that could have or would have done anything different regarding this war. The American people wanted this. Congress wanted this. Everyone was gung ho until we got in there. Then as soon as we got in there, a certain party started pushing to get us out. You just can't do that. You can't go in there, fvck it all up and then leave. As AP1 stated, ask the ground troops over there (who live it every day) what they think needs to be done there. They'll tell you that we need to stay long enough to stablize the area.

Their own countries don't want these people back. What this means, is that, when they do shut the doors, the people inside will be moved to an American prison system. That means they will have easier access to many American, bleeding-heart, ACLU lawyers. Fun, fun, fun. I say line the f***ers up and shoot them in the back of their heads.

I'm in SUCH a bad mood right now... I accidentally took a wrong bus today (apparently I was supposed to take a super-specific bus, lol) and after AN HOUR AND A HALF of getting to the rental place for the video game I was going to rent... I saw that these asses hiked up the prices, and I was therefore short on money! Gahhhhh.

Indeed.... it was the Mighty George Carlin, now that you mention it..!! What a funny guy he was... Damn its a shame he left us..!!
Jsin - damn, I thought pampering a tat for a few days to a week was hassle enough.... Weeks for a good scar huh..?? BUMMER..!!
IN... Sorry for the bad luck with the buses and the game... That has to damn near ruin your whole day huh..??
If you were a guy, Id say that it would've been easier to just stay home and punch yourself in the nuts to save all the hassles of even leaving the house ;-)
This Heaven and Hell Cd kicks ass...!! Im leaving my toyroom to go watch the DVD while I eat some dinner... \m/

Godlike: it does. I love playing video games though I don't get many chances to play them, and now that I do, something like this has to ruin my day. Also, our furnace isn't working, so I'm bundled up in a bunch of ugly sweaters to avoid getting a cold because it's f***ing freezing in here. I have to wait for some technician guy to fix it.
And 2 of my pets are sick... my cat keeps barfing (probably from a hairball, and I've been giving him remedies for that), and one of my rabbits won't eat. I'm worried.

Damn you, godlike... you're siding with the evil one, ap1! :P Seriously though, I love my rabbits, and I'd feel horrible if he died because of this. Coconut, the one that's not eating, is already small and quite fragile, so I'm especially worried. If it were one of the other two, I probably wouldn't be worried as much.

If you want to ease his suffering, grab his feet, turn him upside down, and smack the sh** out of his head. Now, 1 of 2 things is going to happen. Either his nose will bleed and it will spew everywhere, or he will emit this really shrill sound that lets you know he's really in pain. We raised rabbits when I was young, and I still remember my dad doing that.

^I used to have rabbits, and as much as i thought they were a pain, y'know, sh**tin everywhere, stinking up the backyard and everything, it hit me hard when i came home and saw Thunderbolt's skin hangin up in the middle of the kitchen. Freaked me out hardcore. I guess they just grew on me after a while. And then my dad smashed their heads in the garage with a hammer lol. :p
I'm voting to get rid of Nebraska. Nobody needs that horrible state. We need Alaska though. We need Sarah palin to keep an eye on the Russians for us...

I use to have rabbits when I was a kid.... then I started hunting em ;-)
Honestly tho... Im sorry to hear about the sickly one... if its that weak, the outlook isnt the
cheeriest... sorry to say..!!

Oh my... he did that? That's horrible. :(
ya, I know! that's what freaked me out so much i think. i knew he was gonna kill it a couple weeks before; he was talkin about doin it, but i had no idea he was gonna do it with hammer! Although, shame on me for being so ignorant, what else was I supposed to expect him to do?
I have no problems myself with killing animals, hunting, or defending yourself or whatever the case may be, but when an animal lives with you to the point that it becomes practically a pet, well...it bothers me when they die, by my own hand or naturally. It's just upsetting. But then I just watch the Lion King and realize.."it's the CIRCLE OOOOFFFF LIIIIIIFFFFEEEEE!!!!" lol
godlike- It's kool, i'm slowly gathering people from this site on my space as friends myself. I just accepted AP1 like yesterday or something. As soon as i see your request pop up, i'll click the oh-so-handy accept button ;)
Now playing: Gojira- the Way of all Flesh (or should i say "Still playing" f***in 17 minute long song gahhh!)

FAN - Thanks for the add buddy..!! Yeah, that self titled Motograter disc is one of my favorites of the last decade....
Lion King huh..? lol
IN - If the bunny has enough strength to be drinking than maybe its gonna be OK.... Aside from being a smarta$$... I really dont like seeing any animals suffer and die :(
If it makes you feel any better.... I actually dont hunt anything other than pheasants anymore.!!

FAN: I'm going to have to agree with you about the Nebraska thing. I had a pretty horrible experience in Ogalala when we were headed for the east coast with the band. I have and will continue to avoid that state at all costs.
godlike: Mornin brother. What is this new myspace thing you speak of?
IN: How's the bunny today?

Bg1 - Mornin sir..! Kinda bummed this mornin.., I just got a phone call late yesterday afternoon from the company Ive been waiting to start working for... They gave me a start date of Feb 9th..!!
Damn, I was pretty stoked last night.... looking forward to those HUGE paychecks, an already finding ideas to spend that money...!
Got a phone call this morning from the company recruiter.... says that as of this morning the company has froze all hiring til March 1st ... F^CK..!!
yeah, that Myspace thing is something strange... Ive had mine for over a year, and it seems Ive gathered more friends over the last month than I ever had..... an they're all regular MU posters.... except Bon Scotts son.., havent seen him post in awhile... but we email back and forth once a week orso.. Another cool character indeed..!!

godlike: Damn dude. That sucks. The same thing happened to Big pimpin last week. Times are tough out there man. I don't see it getting much better either when Obama brings the troops home. I remember Ben. He seemed pretty cool. Does he have any updates about the movie role yet?

Bg1- Yeah, things are tough for everyone... but at the same time, I was given a different offer last weekend... A buddy of mine is an owner/operater that is buying a truck from the guys he drives for and with..!! Well, after he was telling them about my situation... they offered me a deal, where I could take one of their trucks, on a lease to own basis and start driving immediatly..!!
The idea of making payments on a 50,000 vehicle kinda frightens me tho !!
No updates on the movie roll for Ben.... but I find it a bit ironic that he's also a trucker ;-)

godlike: Haha, birds of a feather huh? Cool man. Screw the insecurities over the $50,000 man. It's only money. I think you should go for it. Having your own ride means bigger, better pay right? Isn't that what we're in it for? Hell, man... I think you should go for it.

Yeah, the only draw back is that all repairs, upkeep and fuel etc... comes off the top before I get my paycheck.! So, to make lots of money means I run my a$$ off and pray nothing breaks down..!!
This other company's recruiter told me this morning, that I should be able to start by the 1st of Mar. orso.?? That is ideally the place to work for... Their rigs = their money spent on repairs,fuel and upkeep..!! And their pay is guaranteed... plus an excellent benifit program..!!

IN - Well, I cant that my dreams are anything like killing my brother:(
He died of a heart attack at the ripe old age of 40..! Yeah, thats how old I am now, after my birthday last week ;-)
Cats are certainly some weird animals... The one that lives here, loves to eat people food... but will only take food from me... whenever I sit down to eat he sits at my feet... sat up on his hindend looking like a prairie dog... waiting for me to throw food to him..!!
He eats everything I throw to him... pickles, onions, tomatoes, beans, corn, even peas... but he loves meat the most.... I just tease him with that tho.... like wiping my bacon covered fingers on a napkin and then throwing a peice of napkin to him... LOL
Now that is funny, watching him pick it up and start chewing on it... and then spit it back out and look at me like Im such an a$$hole ;-)

No, Blindgreed, he's not dead, but I have weird dreams of killing him, which freak me out. Me and him aren't really on good terms, but I can't imagine I'd ever kill anyone.
Godlike - Sorry about that. It's never good to see someone you love in suffering.
Aww, that's so cute about the cat! I actually have a very interesting way of getting my cat to eat people food. Thing is, he won't actually eat it if you throw it to him... BUT, if you immitate how it would look like if he were to eat it, he'll do it. I swear, one time I had this random idea... I don't even know why I did it, but I had a hint that I thought it would make him to the same thing... I got a bowl full of cereal, and put it on the floor. I put another one right next to mine full of the same cereal. Now, normally my cat would dismiss it and not do anything, but I got down on my hands and knees and ate from my bowl (I was acting like a cat). And then he started eating the cereal! :D

Im glad to know you didnt lose your brother.....cause that truly sucks..!!
I can understand about not getting along with em..!! I have two other brothers, that I havent talked to in over 3 yrs..!!

I dont have dreams of killing anyone, but i do have those suicide, jumping off a building dreams. Those are the only ones I usually remember, becasue those are the only dreams I wake up during.
Although I did once have a dream where an entire scenario of my morning at school played out, all the way till lunch, when I was talking to one of my friends and his head spontaneously exploded. I didnt find out why, because at that exact moment, my alarm went off, waking me up for school.
And for all my jokes IN, congats on your cat getting back into the realm of the healthy and active. Ive had a few cats actually die on me and it tore the sh** outta me, especially since i had raised them from kittens. SO I'm glad ur buddy pulled through. :]
