Good Tuesday Blah regulars - one is back from (as Guido so succinctly phrased it) my 'spiritual cleansing'. Hehe. That man does have a way with words.. Hope everyone is ok - congrats to Ron. For my next trick am gonna try and avoid all this football b*ll*x... They should set aside TV channels that don't include sport or Big Brother - for us nocturnal/uninterested/insomniac ppl who have nada better to do in the wee hours. Play nice ppl :D

Good Sunday fellow Metalheads



What a week...crap, month it's been!!

First I must join Guido in celebrating a Blackhawks victory for the Stanley Cup!!  WOOHOO!!  More than 2,000,000 fans showed up for the parade on Friday...no, I had to work   but I am soooo happy none the less  the way my Cubbies are looking, it's all I'm gonna have to cheer about 'til football season.

Not to say I'm not happy that team USA didn't lose in SA yesterday, but c'mon, we tied because EUR goalie fumbled the ball!!  

A little news for my friends here, a week from Friday I'm flying one last time down to see Bev, and we're driving back...to stay!!  We're giving it a shot folks.  We met here at JP.com in December '08, and we're now gonna try to make a go of it!!

As you can imagine, things are / have been a bit stressful trying to tend to all the details, and a few are still not totally dealt with...but if we all waited for the perfect moment, we'd get nothing done lol  Wish us luck friends!

Still around this evening. It seems if you allow your license to expire in VA, even though you have the old one with you, then your just screwed. Birth Certificate? FFS I provided that with my original license, and SSN (which I had)! According to the website what I needed to bring was proof of residency, which I brought and then all the friggin questions they already know! Pissed me off to no end, now I will go on Vacation tomorrow!  It's bad enough I have to drive 30 miles to get to the DMV but sucks even more that I have to drive back again, and then go back. Bereaucratic bastards.

I think James' plan could actually work. I mean if he sent Celine Dion down there to sing the Titanic song it could scare the oil into crawling back into the pipe and hiding underground for eternity.

God, it's quiet as the cript here. Flora and her friend came back from a fund raiser for the school and have passed out cold, going on three hours. You would think they did actually work, but NO! Car wash fund raisers no longer count on kids doing the washing. Its sick! They stand outside an autowash with signs and get a margin of profit from the wash place, damn nice of them, and they get money in tips! I think this was the first time Flora was exposed to "dirty old men" who just want to flirt with young ladies. Bleah! I was joking with her and told  her and her friend if they had just worn high heals, booty shorts, and tight shirts they could have made a killing for the volleyball team! HA!! Of course, I'm glad they didn't as they had enough perves dropping in as it was! LOL

As far as pictures go, there has never been a reason to not post them. To share with others is the goal. To copy them and emasss a huge amount to them is just fine as well, but the problem is someone want's to call them "theirs" once they log it in. That is just stupid. I'm happy as hell when I get one of my own thrown back out there! I think it's great! I watched one photo I posted go from here to Halford to who knows where in 24 hours. It was a scan and never seen before, but great it got around.


Now, on to the issue of Friends. We are all friends here and we come and go, but as of late we don't converse much in real time. Do I miss it? Yes. I personally find places like facebook and myspace too much about ME! I don't feel like telling the world how I feel each day and I'm sure they wouldn't want to hear half of it! Responses there are never real time, at least not most times, and it's just too much about ME, which is boring. 
[joedraper] Saturday, June 05, 2010 11:51:23 AM 
I have to agree with you here Vail. I have often posted pics that have been supplied by other members on the board. And I am thankful that they have shared so I repost when they haven't been up for a while to show apreciation to the band and of the pics that have been supplied over the years. It is never ment to disrespect the person who the picture originated from, I am thankful for all.. Lets just enjoy the band and enjoy each other. Maple and Simon, I like both of you and over the years you have both supplied and shared wonderful pictures with us that I'm sure we are all greatful for.

This is in response to the argument going on in the Japanese thread.

There's nothing wrong with posting better quality versions of previously posted pics. I mean, as long as it shows Judas Priest in action, and it's a good pic, then that's great! If there's a better version of it, then that's great, too. The more, the merrier. There is no money gained when posting pics of Judas Priest on the Noticeboard. It should be about appreciation for the greatest band in the world, not for feeling inferior just because someone always has a better version of what's been posted. I enjoy seeing the JP pics that both Simon and Maple post (or anyone, for that matter). I hope you two settle your differences soon.

I have to say that I am very sorry things are the way they are here these days. The regulars know why I am scarce. I really love (MOST of)  you and I do miss you. In a rather fair amount of pain today as we had a show last night. I will post a few shots on the "WEB POLICE" thread for Bud's sake very soon. Anyway, if there is any justice in this world, things will improve and we will see old friends chatting again and life will be good.

** On another note, all of us UCLA alumni and the UCLA family in general mourn the loss of the GREATEST college coach in history;  John Wooden, who passed away yesterday at age 99. I was never fortunate enough to actually meet the man, although he did speak regularly during my years in school. Looking back, it was rather foolish of me to miss an opportunity to listen to such a great, great man. I saw him once, from a distance. I suppose THAT will count for something in life... Sleep well, "Coach".

Yeah, our group will be tough, NZ have already been written off by many, but I think we will cause problems for those teams.

Thats a pretty tough group. Slovakia was first in our qualifiyng group. Italy is always a danger, and Paraguay are far from being write offs too. Well, you will have the same advantage that we do, anyway - Italy is usualy a bit to confident for their own good, and that usualy works against them.

Anyway, we have England, Algeria and the United States (tough luck Guido - maybe if youre good boys we will let you have the second place), and I really hope we can beat England, since they have a wonderfull tradition of getting eliminated in the first round.

Yup. Youre playing against us. We will see - I dont know much about your team, but its a match between two teams who qualified for the cup, so no opponent will be easy.

As you say, here's hoping. You will certainly be in my thoughts, Joe. Been in many a country when the politics just went south in a big way. Strangely enough, it is usually around a major event like the WC or the Olympics. Sending good vibes your way that it not only calms down but STAYS calm.

You're gonna love it. The DVD surpasses Rising in the East in that matter. So many close-up shots of Scottie!!! You'll even get to see the camera that looks into the drumkit where the man sits!

Vail, I am so glad you tell me this. Craig tried to order me a copy as a surprise gift but I found out about it and now I'm like a kid before Christmas.. I keep harassing the postman because it should be arriving pretty much any day now.

Becks & Guido, I will gladly keep you up to date with the WC. Thankfully politically things have sort of been ok. There have been a lot of major striking for higher wages strategically done in a few weeks leading up to the WC but they came to an agreement so that seems to be ok. 
I believe there is a more visual presence of police force etc but I think it will be ok. I pray that it will be. The government is calling for everyone to just chill out and 'behave' during the cup. Lets hope they do.

That's awesome, and like Guido says, let us know any inside info you find out! The NZ team will be arriving in a few days I think, we have a warm up match against Slovenia in Austria on saturday NZ time.

Ah, KEWL, Joe! Do keep us posted as to any pertinent "inside" info on the games. I am one of a handful of Americans who actually enjoys watching the WC. Alas, like ice hockey, they really don't televise much (if any) of the games here. Sometimes I luck out and can see it on the Spanish channels but it is hit-or-miss.

Speaking of "miss," I noticed and missed ya! Wondering about the political situation, in fact. Things calm down, I hope? Take care of yourself and the family.

Becks, it is so cool here! The spirit is so cool! We've got everyone with their supporting country flags flying and every friday the whole country is wearing our national team's jersey. The kids are all hyped up and at school they've got a little count-down board in the classroom. Some of the teams are arriving already and it is such a festive feeling.

Good to see you Joe! I'm with you on the year running away, June already, eek!
Can't wait for the world cup! If I had won lotto I would be out there to support NZ! The time difference will be a pain for watching matches but that's what a DVD recorder is for LOL!

Hello to the month of June! Can you believe it's June already? Phew! Speak of the year just running away.
I was offline for a few days (glad you all missed me so much lol) I got back today and everything is overflowing! Spending the morning getting all my mail etc sorted.
Anyways.. I hope everyone is having a great day. We've got the World cup in a few days, 9 I believe so there's all the soccar hype going around now. I just hope it all goes well and people enjoy their stay here. Anyone coming out for any games?

Morning to all and a VERY Happy Memorial Day. Spent most of yesterday in my usual style; perched in my recliner and barely able to move. Practice today so I must find a way to muster up the strength I will need to get out the door. Anyway, it is nice and WARM here in the desert and THAT  means a little less pain for me. Always a good thing.

Friday went very well. Another rockin fun night in Vegas. Crazy people and loads of fun. I swear, its like an entirely different breed of human being is out after midnight. The people are SO very different from the "day" crowd! HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!  Hope you all enjoy the day. For those that are lucky enough to have the holiday "off", enjoy it! Light up the barbeque and spend a little time outdoors! I did that last night (steaks and shrimp) and likely will do it when I get home this afternoon!! Now THAT is what summer is really all about, no?  Here's a pic from Friday! Enjoy your day, gang!!
