Some random rants of mine:

Title: Amp Head Shopping And Flaming Imbeciles

Well, yesterday, I became more active in my hunt for an amp head (at least if I can get an amp head, i'll know what kind of cab i should get). So I called hart's, too expensive, and he doesn't have any used heads in. So I called the local pawn shops. Yesterday, I became more passive in my hunt for an amp head.

Here was the dialogue that ensued with the owner of Pat's Pawn in Carmi:

Owner: Pat's Pawn.

Me: Do you have any bass amplifier heads?

Owner: What?

Me: As in, bass guitar amplifiers?

Owner: We have guitar amps.

Me: Good. Do you have any just heads, or amp stacks?

Owner: ...We have guitar amps.

Me: We've resolved that. The question is, do you have just the heads, as in, an amp without the speakers?

Owner: ...We have guitar amps.

Me: ...Ok...well seeing we're not getting anywhere with that...what is the wattage of the amps you have?

Owner: ...We have guitar amps.

Me: YOU ARE A FLAMING IMBECILE! *click*

Round 2:

I found a Tech Soundsystems head friday on ebay. It was a 500 watts...a real supersonic gem. I bid a fair amount. Then I got outbid. I raised my bid. This guy must've went up to 50 bucks, but I'm cheap and I didn't wanna put that much down. I got peed at this nutjob whose bid history included, a yamaha bass

, and polly pockets!

He got outbid...but still...this was a piece of amp head. So, to whomever wins it, I HOPE IT SHORTS OUT, ELECTROCUTES YOU AND YOU DIE!

Round 3:

700W Earth Amp on ebay.

Result:

OUTBID AGAIN

I hope it falls on the guys testicles so he can no longer have sex!

Title: Timeouts and the fun they have with me

Let me clarify this: Websites love timeouts! They love to make you waste time logging back in. Or at least they do to me. Here's several examples to prove that Timeouts have fun screwing with my head:

My e-mail: When I am trying to send an e-mail, I have a server time out. It is an 18 minute timeout. It is the fastest 18 minutes of my life. I type out one paragraph (and granted, I'm a pretty fast typer) and I have to log back in, and I've lost the entire paragraph because I forgot to copy the paragraph I had just typed out, forgetting that timeouts LOVE me!

My tab sites: I do a lot of bass tabbing. When I get bored, I submit a tab. It's what I do. There's a really long song that I tabbed out last night. So I was submitting it today. Well, this is a long process because 1) it's a long song, and 2) I have to figure out the repeat values, because I can't think repeat values when I play, and I don't do them in advance. Again, I get this done, and (wowsers!) fail to copy this to clipboard again, and I get sent back to the login page, where it will no longer let me access the extra super long tab I have just written

Thus leading me to the following conclusion:

Timeouts are the real antichrist!
