Hahaha that is so true Spa!!!! If only I could subject him to what the dog goes through!!! In a perfect world, as you say.
Vail - the drumming is coming along well. Teaching myself AC/DC at the mo, then maybe Hot Rockin. I'm in love with Starbreaker at the moment too, but it's a bit too technical for me right now haha.

Hmmm...well, let's hope for the best for the doggy. Maybe the adults will learn something about dog care in the future.

I'm actually a bit tempted to bring it over to play with my dog, and I have had discussions with the SPCA regarding not being able to get to shelter from sun and rain. I've been secretly feeding it dog treats too LOL!!!! Problem is, my neighbours will know it's me if I release it, and lets just say they aren't the nicest people, especially the man that lives there. They'd probably get really nasty with me. I am keeping an eye on things, the degree to which they have no idea about lol.

Sorry to hear about that, Kiamat. Did you guys bring your own sound equipment? If not, then have a pre-planned setup for the mics. Before your group performs, count the number of "steps" between mic stands or have a rope that is the same length as the space between them. That way when the time comes to adjust them for any specific song, you'll all know where everything goes. That was how we did it when I was in choir in high school.
Oh yeah! And have someone in your group be familiar with the workings of the sound system in case you guys have to use someone else's equipment. Always good to have an expert in those kinds of situations.

Ouch. That really sucks. I can't imagine getting booed off stage in anything really. I remember being in choir in high school my freshman year and there were times we sucked and we got some polite applause and some indifference early on. We got better as the year went on but we all got an earfull from our music teacher for our "emotionless" performance. But to get booed off stage because of overexpectation? WTF. That is messed up. Hope you have a good rest of the weekend. Just continue to rock hard and ride free!!

It's not that I mind them coming round, and I love religious debates... In my case, what weirded me out was the fact that this woman came from Germany, was old enough to know all about the horrors of the concentration camps, and still considered the mass slaughter described in the Old Testament (of which we have no proof whatsoever, I might add), to be JUSTIFIABLE under the title, "ETHNIC CLEANSING". WTF????????? She was going on about how the Israelites were 'God's chosen people', and that therefore everyone who lived near them had to be wiped out to 'purify' humanity. I just got kinda pissy and pointed out that the Nazis talked the same way - seemed to touch a nerve...

A killer chihuahua??? Jeez, if you managed to make a chihuahua dangerous enough to scare 'em off, I dread to think what would happen if you got your hands on a ROTTWEILER!!! It's not that I mind them coming round, and I love religious debates... In my case, what weirded me out was the fact that this woman came from Germany, was old enough to know all about the horrors of the concentration camps, and still considered the mass slaughter described in the Old Testament (of which we have no proof whatsoever, I might add), to be JUSTIFIABLE under the title, "ETHNIC CLEANSING". WTF????????? She was going on about how the Israelites were 'God's chosen people', and that therefore everyone who lived near them had to be wiped out to 'purify' humanity. I just got kinda pissy and pointed out that the Nazis talked the same way - seemed to touch a nerve...

Yes! Long it was and far it was but oooh such a good time! There are some (less than flattering) photos up on my facebook profile if you wanna check them out and one or two scenery shots to show my lovely country off. I still have slightly stiff calf muscles but they're eased enough for me to spin tomorrow. Got a cool race coming up on Sunday so I don't want to overdo anything there. I'm hoping to improve time to move up in seeding catagory.

On Saturday we did a 22km mountain hike. I was under the impression that it was a 'mountain walk' Totally different thing all together. Turns out climbing a mountain whilst wearing trainers not good at all!
Never the less, the hike was fantastic although physically I was unprepaired for it. My feet hurt like hell by the time we were done but so worth it. The views were amazingly beautiful and I had such a sense of acomplishment once I crossed the finish line.
I sort of felt like Mark's creation toward the evening HRMG lol.

Hey,well we are all ready for some Judas Priest styled heavy metal but the Winter Songs album kinda spoiled the mood for some evil bone crunching metal mayhem...christmas songs kinda has the nack of doing that!! lol !!!! I'm not bashing any of you out there that like the Winter Songs album,I'm actually envious of all of you that do because I wish the Metal God delivered something that I could get into.I'm just bashing the album itself hahaha lol!!!The Winter Songs album is another Turbo mixed with Nostradamus,a recipe for disaster!!! lol!! This next album by the Priest is a critical one boy.

That's a long hike Joe! Well to me anyways lol! Sounds like you had a good time doing it though!

Never the less, the hike was fantastic although physically I was unprepaired for it. My feet hurt like hell by the time we were done but so worth it. The views were amazingly beautiful and I had such a sense of acomplishment once I crossed the finish line.
I sort of felt like Mark's creation toward the evening HRMG lol.

Ahhh...so your family still observes the holiday here? Weird thing is that once she immigrated to the US, my mom didn't celebrate it but observed Halloween instead (if at all). She would also tell me the same story of her brother eating the ofrendas over and over again.
Feliz Día de los Muertitos.

It's basically a day of remembering relatives who have passed away and its a time to celebrate life (correct me if I'm wrong, Guids). Families in Mexico and most of Latin America make food for their dead relatives and place them at the altar or at their graves.
My mom told me on several occasions that she and her family would make the food and place them at the graves of their dead relatives. The next day, the food would be completely gone, and everyone thought the dead came back to life the night before to eat it all up. Later on she discovered that one of her brothers would sneak out and eat the food.

Very poignant post, geeds! Wonderful insight into a very misunderstood holiday. Its funny how other cultures view death and lost loved ones.

(Backreading....) See? Halloween is catching on! Exactly my point.
Día de los muertos will be there soon! You'll be having picnics in cemetaries just like us! LOL!!

Right on the money, Vail, save for the "most of Latin-American part." Rightly called "All SOULS day" by non-latinos, it corresponded to Catholic holidays. Nov 1 / Nov 2. All Saints Day followed by all Souls day (of course the Saints have to come first). Celebrated primarily in México and those who now live in the US.
When I was a kid, my grandmother (moved from MX to the states, would make a literal shrine in her living room....much as we do with the Red Wings!). Cookies shaped like little skulls were for the kids and tequila or pulque for the adults. ALWAYS a plate for the dead being remembered. In México, we'd do this right in the cemetary of Monterrey.
Originally, it was only the Mexicans or "chicanos" (those that came to the US...topic for another day) that celebrated it but now, like Halloween, it has caught on in many countries. Not exclusively latino / luso (Brazil has something similar) nor Catholic countries either. Really odd.
In Guanajuato (where I spent a lot of time as a child and adult), you CANNOT disassociate the festival (as it IS a celebration of the life of the person rather than a mourning) with the fantastic art of José Guadalupe Posada. Notice how happy they are....reflects the celebration. I have my little shrine all set up.

It's basically a day of remembering relatives who have passed away and its a time to celebrate life (correct me if I'm wrong, Guids). Families in Mexico and most of Latin America make food for their dead relatives and place them at the altar or at their graves.
My mom told me on several occasions that she and her family would make the food and place them at the graves of their dead relatives. The next day, the food would be completely gone, and everyone thought the dead came back to life the night before to eat it all up. Later on she discovered that one of her brothers would sneak out and eat the food.

LOL I bet. Here, usually if even teenagers are seen trick treating they're really frowned upon. It's viewed as something for younger kids here, if we gave out treats (which we don't simply because hardly anyone is in to it enough to make it worthwhile) we'd be happy just to see an effort made with costumes - sometimes you see kids going around wearing nothing but those kids towels that have a hood on them. That's not a proper costume! LOL!

Yeah, trick-or-treating for Halloween is a big thing here in the States. It's mainly for the kids, but it's just as fun doing it as an (almost) adult...although you do get alot of raised eyebrows from the candy-givers.

Well it would appear that we all ( or most ) made it through the fiendish evening and lived to see another first of November. NOVEMBER!!!!!!!!! Good Lord! Where did this year go? Simply amazing how quickly the months pass us by. And I must admit, this year has been one to remember. What a GREAT tour by the Priest and all the meet-ups we managed to put together and all the memories we have made...again!
Perhaps sitting here this early in the morning beside the fire puts me in a bit of a pensive mood? I don't know for sure but I find that I recall this year with great fondness, for I have seen many wonderful things this year and spent time with some special people. I look back over the posts and I see that so many of us have shared time with one another. Time. Our most precious of assets and greatest of gifts. And there were some that shared that precious gift with me. I cannot thank them enough.
As yet another year winds to an end, I find that I am once again so very grateful for the wonderful people of this Board. You guys make some of the terrible days much better and the good ones great. Thanks to all of you for another great year and lets be sure to do it all again come January!! |

Yeah, trick-or-treating for Halloween is a big thing here in the States. It's mainly for the kids, but it's just as fun doing it as an (almost) adult...although you do get alot of raised eyebrows from the candy-givers.
