mcdonald's needs to change their commercial promoting their chicken selects... the more i watch it with the guy acting like he's hecka cool spouting these idiotic sayings about not touching his chicken selects("put down the chicken, and step away from the deliciousness" "don't touch my chicken *makes a fist*), the more i DON'T wanna go to mickeydee's. i get so annoyed watching the commercial, and the guy's face, that i wanna meet this guy in person just to smack the hell outta him. YOU'RE EATING AT FRIGGIN MICKEYDEE'S! NOT A 5 STAR HOTEL! HOW MUCH CAN THOSE DAMN THINGS COST THAT YOU DON'T WANT TO SHARE A PIECE OR SOMETHING? quite frankly, i'm NOT loving it.
*reader's note: the writer's huge angry rant against mickeydee's may be related to his tendency to get angry fairly quickly, his huge dislike of mcdonald's fast food in general, and his like of burger king. in fact, he thinks the angus diet commercial is funny, especially when the guy has a burger on one of those buddhist gardens :D*

in the grand context of things, humans have a HUGE reason to blame for why this world is so effed up. why we all pointing fingers at everybody else but ourselves? why does the majority of people act like everybody else are worse off? who knows how many problems we helped unleash upon ourselves?

i'll have to say, "guitar and drum trainer 2" has to be one of THE most useful freeware programs i've ever stumbled across on the internet. some others of note:
dBpowerAMP music converter
functional ear trainer
guitar alchemist free
-i've of course ranted a long time about hammerhead, so i won't go there, or audio phonics' guitar tuner, but guitar and drum trainer 2's really great... suits all those who try to learn guitar by playing 12 stones, creed, altar bridge quite well. btw, altar bridge cd is only 12 dollars @fry's this weekend...

here's a treat for you:
http://homepage.mac.com/thevisualedge/FileSharing4.html (of course, i'm talking about the 1st vid on the page; be prepared for a HUGE dl though)
the difference between an audience member in a rock show and a CHRISTIAN rock show is that the 1st jumps up and down with eyes open in a facial expression of rage with the horns up, and the 2nd jumps up and down w/eyes closed, facial expression in awe, and hands always in the air :)
and if you wanna learn it by ear, go dl "guitar and drum trainer 2" and "dBpowerAMP music converter;" helps some.
