Pamparo in Toronto

I deleted my “precious collection of illegal mp3s” that I have collected over the year! While I was doing it, my mind suddenly flew into the beginning of mp3 files swapping which some of you might not even know existed long-before the emergence of Napster & Kazaa.

First, there was the newsgroup, that was fun. Then the ever-reliable scour.net that takes approx a day to download a 5mb file, not to mention days to search the song only to find that the seeder suddenly removes the share. But that was fine, because the thrill is to find a song that not a lot of people have. Then came Napster, but that was canned. Then Kazaa, Limewire , BitTorrents, (put your illegal download site here) …

But I know it has to be done. I have put it off far too long … so there it is. The most fun thing is, I didn’t regret doing it!

i just came up with these lines today. might be from experience! harharhar … i don’t think so!

it’s not complete yet, but here it is & for the meantime i will call it:

The Song In My Head

It keeps spinning round in my head
The words a-circling not stopping for me to see
Why is this happenning to me

Like a roller-coaster out of control
My life is slowly decaying to nothing at all
Why is this happenning to me

At least I feel good!

I recently custom-fitted my Les Paul with new hat-topped speed-knobs & new grover 3+3 tuning machines. Though, it doesn’t add anything to the sound technically, it does add a little bit more passion in my playing. So I guess that’s a good thing for me.

Recently, I’ve been encouraged to practice more and more. The thing that might surpise you is that my wife is the one pushing me to do so. Was I surprised? Not really. You see, she’s being a wife to me. I remember in our wedding vows, we said that we will do all we can to encourage one another and help each other develop what God has given to us. I thank her for that.

I love you, my dear! And I feel so much better saying that …

I’m finding it hard to pick the winner of Superbowl XL, so I will just try to pick what I think the score might be regardless of who wins the game. I don’t think that any of the teams will get more than 3 touchdowns (in the meaningful span of the game, anyways). I also think that it will be a close game. Why? Well, both teams have a tendency of giving up big plays at the closing minutes of the game. Both are also capabale of mounting game-winning drives. Both can stop the run, and can run over a defense. Both can play the pass, however good the defense might be. So there you go. I’ll just wait & see who gets the 21 points at the end of the game. Happy viewing everyone!
