Followed by lazy, as my avatar isn't Christmas themed..
 
I love the paint-created Jai Christmas avatar. :lol:

What oils my gears is that even though I haven't been playing much guitar lately, I decided to pick it up yesterday, and am playing again today. It feels great to learn Cowboys From Hell by Pantera, being that I thought I lost most of my talent, it's slowly coming back though. It will be a while before I put the guitar down.
 
What oils my gears is that I now have a PPD of..... wait for it..... 0.69!
Oh yeah! :sly:

No, its actually going up! At the beginning of the year when I had like 50 posts, my PPD was at something stupid like 0.01 because of my complete lack of posting for 3 1/2 years.

I have an English sense of humour. It is a bit odd I know, but I am English.

English humour aye? Well, that's the best humour. miles better than slapstick. :yuck: Which is what virtually all American comedies are.
 
Rebelling against all the Xmas avatars. I may whip up something tommorow. With an E28 M5 and a Santa hat...
 
My Android phone. It's beautiful. It works great, there's so many free apps, it is so fast, the camera is beautiful, it sounds great (in call and music), it has a big screen, battery lasts so ling. I've had my phone on for 12 hours and it's at 80% left. I can do more on it than I can on an iPhone. I can use widgets, it is way easier to use (thanks to HTC sense I think), I can download 3rd party apps, there apps on the official market that will let me download music which is on iPhone too but they have a lot more restrictions, the web browser is smarter and easier to use on Android, and it let's me download files of all sorts. Oh, and it isn't made by Apple so... Yay!

The only thing iPhone wins at is more apps.

But that is why Android makes me so happy.
 
After a year of not touching it, I finally picked up my guitar today.
 
My dad got a second exhaust stack on his Peterbilt (not his--the company he drives for), that thing is louder now. Time to troll the neighbors :sly:
 
Did you make it for Jai?

What guitar you got? I'm just starting to learn how to play on my 30" 20 dollar acoustic :dunce:
 
I agree on the avatar, nice job! 👍

What oils my gears is I got $30 and a pizza from Dominoes for cleaning out my room and closet and throwing a ton of crap out! Plus I found my electric blanket.
 
What oils my gears? Had bowling today, and didn't get whammed!

Hey, at least it's something.

My guitar is a Silvertone SRK; a Gibson SG clone. Not expensive at all, but it at least sounds good with my 15 watt Peavey Viper. I'm trying to learn how to play Jingle Bell Rock now, really hard to understand the rhythm on some parts though. :indiff:

Ah.

Well here's a tab for Jingle Bell Rock, if you use tabs

I can't play without tabs, I have no ear for music whatsoever :(

I'm just kidding, it looks better than what I would have done. I would do Arial boldfaced somewhere random saying "Merry Christmas", I'm too lazy to do anything else.
 
everyone has christmas hats on their avatar
I don't:guilty:
 
Wouldn't that be more of a gear grinder? I need to make one too, but I'm not sure how. :lol:
