Ive recently got back from holiday where i went to lake Geneva. I done loads of news things around their, biggest had to be white water rafting. That is defiantly something i wont forget in a long time. I also climbed up a glacier at Mont blanc, was pretty tiring but the sights were brilliant. Could see right down the valley. Also went to a ski resort in the summer to see the difference, cool to see the runs going through the trees occupied by cow and goats.

Ive been go-carting twice at two different places, one was in a warehouse and the other outside. Allthough im rubish at it an never come close to winning its great fun.

Ive also been to see 3 films at the cinema and saw Green Day/Taking Back Sunday/Jimmy Eat World at Millten Keynes bowl, 65000 people in an out door arena!

Other then that playing too much World of Warcraft, dam that games addicting.

I went to army camp for the first two weeks of the holidays. I ts was awesome. The living were pretty s**t. Our rooms were small and they still managed to cram 14 of us into it. The ex was the best thing at camp. I brought 6 pot noodles with me(i hate the rat packs). We would play hide and seek, yes HIDE AND SEEK. the whole point was to cam yourself up as best you could and if you got spotted the point was to escape capture. One guy broke his ankle cus he fell in a slit trench. At when the adults had gone we would sit around a fire for hours, burning s**t. I was the section 2 ic. when we went out on our operation we had to ambush section 2 and meet up at an F.R.V. about a half a mile away. We waited about an hour for the bastards to show. Then they came up behind us about 70 metres on our six. We dashed for the nearest slit trench, blasting away with our rifles. When James got the LSW down and layed cover while we ran along the slit trench to get up on their flanks. I was 1 and a half magazines in(i shot out 52 rounds). We saw the scout for section two on the sand dune, our que to head back to the FRV(final rendevous). We ran like a fat person with an all you can eat for MacDonalds. When we arrived we dropped down on the grass, exauhsted we took two minutes to catch our breath and then we went back to the Harbour(were we set up base). We were soaked to the bone so we lit up a burner and sat round a fire to dry off.

I met laods of new people, and tons of hot girls <img src=" SRC="images/smiles/icon_wink.gif"> . We went to alton towers, but i only went on like one big ride called hex, and it wasn't all that big.

Army cadets is the best crack you can get. Everyone is friends with everyone, its weird although its great to get away from enemys and just have good laugh. I usually get homesick very easily, i like Inverness too much, but there you don't notice it because you just have loads of fun. Like everynight we would go up to the Red Rose Club down on the shooting ranges and play pool for hours and watch big brother. Then we would run like hell at 5 to 11 so we wouldn't have to any cleaning <img src=" SRC="images/smiles/icon_smile.gif"> .

Now im back in Inverness i do nothing but get up at 1pm, go down to the co- op, get a six pack of coke, come back sit in front of my pc all day drinking said coke and playing css. I love the Holidays. I see it as a great oppertunity to just do nothing and relax.

Thats what i've done so far, and i probably wont do anything else.

Alas we aproach the final days of the holidays. We return to school next week. To be honest i want to go back to school, MY holidays, barr camp, have been rather laid back. I havn't done anything but sit on my PC, go bowling with my Dad and figure out how to use hammer and milkshape, although i still haven't got out of the whole "Killbox phase" yet.

Actually, some hollow-bodies (like the Gibson's) make "rock" sound really nice. (Chuck Berry played a Gibson ES-335, which is a hollow-body)


Blame it on Microsoft, God does.

Took a train trip from Helsinki to Moscow and trough Russia and Mongolia to Beijing where I spent a week chilling out. It took 2 in total.

Actually this was week or two before my summer holidays even began. I got the 2 weeks free from school.

My school doesn't start for another 6 weeks... I kinda wished it started earlier so I'd have something to do.

Yeah, that's what I'm talking about. I've browsed the internet and am probably going to go with a gibson, unless something changes my mind...

Jimmy Page had a Gibson, they've gotta be good.

You would probably want to go with a second hand Gibson. Newer don't play as well as the ones made in the early 90's and earlier.

Negotiating how to sell my drumkit so I can buy an electric one, and also working for an architecture firm, which was fun.

As for guitars- if your spending huge amounts of money I'd try one before buying. I personally use a BC Rich Warlock platinum pro, which I put some EMG 81's in, and it's pretty damn uber now. Gunna re-wire it soon to make it better.

However, if you want a guitar like no other- build one! You'll like it far more than any others, and you can steal ideas from everywhere. Atm I'm planning my guitar- a 1 piece (for neck and body) guitar, with hollow cavities here and there, and the most wild electronics you'll ever see (apart from on a variax). Gunna finish it with a white wash, and black hardware (floyd rose, EMG's etc). Can't live without my EMG's and floyd rose bridge now :-X

Of course french if you plan on spending oodles of money on a gibson hollow, why not just get one custom made for you?

I think buying a gibson is a waste of money in all honesty unless your that good- in which case, I demand you record yourself and show us your skills!

Guitarists that should be your idols- Mattias IA Eklundh, Dave Mustaine, and most death metal guitarists (such as the guys from Soilwork- amazing skills together)

Guitarists that shouldn't - Kirk Hammet, White stripes geezer, and Oasis (I've heard someone say he was god of guitar <img src=" SRC="images/smiles/argh.gif">)

Can you post a pic of guitar windows?

Myrk, there are only a select few death metal guitarists that can actually play. The rest of them just play very simple riffs at high speeds with tons of distortion and effects so that it sounds like they can actually play.

Some real Guitar players: Eddie Van Halen, Slash of Guns&Roses, Adrian Smith of Iron Maiden, Angus Young of AC/DC, Bob Dylan, Jimi Hendrix, Dan of the Darkness, Lindsy Lohan (haha, not really).

I desperatly need a new guitar. I play a Marshal Rocket Duluxe Fat Strat. I plays like Charlie of Busted (thats crap by the way).
I'm going for this Ibanez here
