Selectiveness

Selective memory haunts my brain
I am here, but I'm too late
Selective memory is to blame
and I forget, if we're the same

hold it in your little hand
it's too much, consumed in sands
and say it with your little voice
but it's too loud, you're making noise

Selective memory haunts my ways
i am here, and whats your name?
And theres a file missing named
things you need, and things to say
photos of my past are saved
with this name

and i blame my youth
for all the stupid things I've done
and I blame my youth
for all the stupid games I've won



Hmm..possible song (if I can remember how it sounded).

hehe, just had a fantastic idea.

OKay...so Christchurch police..not too well feared right.
So why is this?
They're limited as to what they can do, and also they've gained a pretty bad rep through the media.
So my solution;

Just picture this.

There is a group of 8 kids, all with hoodies on, walking like they have a fake left knee. Obviously gonna cause trouble, obviously up to no good.
One of our beloved boys in blue walks into the group (knowing he can't do anything as they haven't committed any crime yet) he holds up his badge, and just gently says to the group;
"You kids be good now okay".

What's gonna happen?..he's likely to have his hands cut off by some kid on P.

now my solution.

Just picture this.

One of our beloved boys in blue walks into the group. he is dressed like a clown from hell! he holds up his shinny new chain saw and revs it a few times, and just gently says to the group in a low husky voice;
"You kids be good now okay".

how much more fear would that put in the hearts of this generation of drop outs coming up through the ranks?!

I think I should be the new commissioner.

enjoy

I will not give in

Gate way blocked, key swallowed.
blocking
brick, steal, barking dogs
nothing in, nothing out.
Quarantine.
Flue
Ill
Sickness
Pop disease
Pop disease

Behold my views on Bebo.

yet saddly, I had to.
Had to. for the greater good...you'll find out in time i'm sure.

I'd upload a picture to spice up this post, but we're over our usage..which sucks.

Man this island is boring at night! honestly. Like, if I didn't work it wouldn't be so bad, because i could go take the motorbike and just drive around the place. but NO, I've got to be all bright and early.
it's times like these when I wish I could just sleep a year or so...and still keep up with my own development.

Oh well...won't be too long now until I'm back.

Enjoy

DIY Fuzz :) makes me smile

hehe..yeah..I know i'm a totaaal nerd, but here's a video I did for YouTube just in case some one cared, and what do you know, a comment hehe.
Some one does.
Maybe you will too hehe.

Enjoy



Oh and while I think of it..here's a picture of my awesome wobbly cat, O'brian.

he's so coool hehe. He's got a poisoning which is locally known as fish poisoning. Basically is just screws you up neurologically so he wobbles every and stuff.
Still happy as can be, and a very cuddly cat :D

Ideas abundant

I'm currently developing a distortion pedal for my brother..well..if he wants it haha.
I've basically just used the circuits from an Arbiter Fuzz Face, and a Muffmaster Boost, and thrown them together with a few added parts.
Basically, the big switch bank means you can chose what between different fuzz caps, this ofcourse if still under the gain knob.
The little two pin switch in there is for feedback with in the Fuzz pedal, which basically means that when you hit that switch, the whole thing self oscillates..making cooool sounds.

i can't wait to build it..but..it might take a little time since I'm on this island..where there is NO DSE

Any who, feel free to make this and tell me how it sounds.
Oh and I'm not 100% on the powering..might want to check that with some one who knows about these things I try.

Any who..enjoy

Gate ways

Infinite possibilities is terms of circular travel, which all en up in the same place, as they are based in circular, thus never ending, transit.
Circle theory (basic explanation for time and history as a pre existing, and never ending cycle of life etc).

Liner theory
Time is a straight line, with events marked on it through out history. Never ending, and never beginning.

Wibbily Wobbly time Jelly theory
Time is a collective of events, all happening at some point in time, relative to our own understanding. In theory if it were possible to alter our understanding of time itself, we could move through these events freely, thus completing time travel.


paper theory
This assumes that time is a straight line. This theory proposes to bend the line onto itself, thus creating a bridge between the now, and then. It would be impossible to go forward in time, as that part of the line hasn't come into existence yet (unless of course the line has been crossed back before, therefor you would in fact be in some ones relative past, and therefor could jump forward as far as their relative present).

Time is measured by the beating of a censuim atom (sorry can't spell that) which beats at just over 9.2billion times a second. This is how atomic clocks work.
Time how ever if relative to the periods in which we count it. there was an experiment done where by one atomic clock was placed on the ground, and another in a jet. The jet flew around the world as fast as it could, and came back to the original position. The clocks were out of sync when they were compared upon arrival.
This is proof that time dilation exists. Although the difference was less than a fraction of a milli second, it still happened, and therefor if the experiment was conducted on a larger scale (at higher speeds etc) it is possible that the moving clock would count time slower.
If a person was to count time in both areas, it would appear the same to him/her in both situations, but would in fact be moving slower (relatively) in the situation with the moving clock.
Thus proving that time is relative to perception.

So..what use is this?
..it's not really useful at all..it's just interesting.

Even more interesting is when you combine my two favorite areas of conditioned response, relative to situation.
this means, Time Theory and 2+2=5 Theory.

If a child was brought up from birth with a clock that always ran slowelly, he/she would assume that there were lets say, 7 hours in a "day".

How weird would that be?

Now is when I'd like to bring a point into this blog..but..really..there is none

There really is NO point to knowing about time etc, because, you're going to die.
Weather a person dies at 77 years, after having lived for 77 years, or he dies at 33 years after living what we would call a 77 year period really makes no difference. The only thing that happens is, he died at an old age.
...so....what now?
no idea..just wanted to type something, and this came out.

Enjoy

We need our "own" site..we really do

morning people

Well...as the title suggests, i really want our own site.
like a fully custom coded one, with cool role over icons, and music samples.
Where exactly I'd get one of these, I'm not sure.
I can KINDA design, but the coding baffles me.

Any way, guess i'll work on that.

I'm SEMI meant to be working on a site for my boss, slash, not really. but i kinda suggested it, and so i should PROBABLY do something.
I guess it could be good practice for when I make our one.

Hmm..today I;

Modified a tiny radio so that it can be used through our power amp (home system). this means we finally have an Am/Fm receiver again (not that i listen to the radio in any nation)
I watched the first three episodes of stargate SG-1 Season3/
Annnd...something else, can't remember, but I know I did soomething else important today.

Hmm oh well, it'll come back eventually.

Ummmm..here have a photo!

Oh yeah, I wrote a song, I think...Hmm if I did i 'll remember it eventually I guess.
Hope I did. man I'm tired.
Oh well hehe

okay, photo time;



Took this while looking for my bosses boat that went missing.
he's flying the plane.

YAY

byebye


okay this is kinda new post, because I don't want it to look like I've posted more than once in like, 3 hours..kinda sad I know.
i'm boreeed! That's all

Any way, I just realized that I forgot to tell you about my awesome mod on my bridge. basically I've wanted a decent bridge for a while now, like a good brass one or something, but haven't been able to find anything. Until now!
While sanding the hell out of a boat which I just finished covering in carbon fiber (nasty nasty stuff that)i had a thought;
Man, this stuff is easy to make into other things, and it's way harder than my existing bridge.
SOoooo yeah, I went home, got the bridge out of my guitar, and covered the top in carbon fiber. it sounds SOOO much better!
just so much brighter, I loves it. Not to mention it looks funkey (picture soon).
plus..I made it myself..come on! that's got to be worth something right.



Any way, tired..must go

*huggles*

Wow a new person

Hey everyone!

I'm Tim (ie the pianist of the band) I thought that it was about time that i actually write something here.

First some background information about me

I am 17
I got to Riccarton High where i do biology, chemistry, physics, calculus and music
umm i play piano
my nickname is sTIMulus

thats about all you need to know about me. lol.

basically, the way i see it, the role of any pianist in a band is to be a complete geek just to make everyone else look good. I do my best to fulfill this role within airplay.

That is all for now

Annoying Email

Well..came across an email today from a Christian friend of mine today.
Now, it was a pro Christianity thing, and of course I have NO problem with that (not sure exactly they were sending it to me...didn't they get the message? I'm already saved. But any way) So I got it and started reading it, turns out it was about death, untimely death as it stated. So I read on;

"Did you know these facts? I sure didn't;

John Lennon once stated in an interview,
"Christianity will die out, I don't even have to argue it, it just will. A week later he was shot six times"

Nooow (finished quoting by the way) this is what this email was filled with. Quotes of people who have bad mouthed God, and died. So, lets (for the sake of me not typing)just take this example into account.

1; They picked on Lennon, so it's not gonna rate highly with many people right?
And with any pro-Christianity email, you want people to relate to it and take in the message don't you? So mistake number one, attack an internationally known and loved figure.

2; Now, whats the point? Okay so in these instances people who bad-mouthed god died.
But, what's the point in knowing this and spreading it? A person can't actually become a Christian out of fear, it's got to be a personal choice, so if you're trying to say "be a Christian or die!"....I'm afraid it's not going to do any one any good.
Also, this email kinda gives god the wrongful image of;
"If you don't love me, DIE!" which is soooo totally wrong.
God loves every one reguardless of what they believe, and he'd love it if we all loved him. But he's not going to kill people for being against him!
Firstly, we all have free will, and god will NEVER jump in and take that away from us. So we're free to do what we like, with the only consequence being hell..(haha...not to be taken lightly of course). Secondly, if he DID kill people that he didn't think deserved to live, then why make them in the first place?
Before you were born, he knew you through and through. He knew every word you'd eveeeeer speak, SO if you're going to bad mouth god he'd know...so why make you exist in the first place, if he's just gonna kill you later.
Sure, you might say "TO MAKE AN EXAMPLE FOR THE REST OF THE WORLD!" but once again that brings us the the fear idea. And as we've established, Christianity by fear isn't Christianity....it's the catholics from the dark ages.

So what should we do about this kind of advertising and defacing of Christianity?
Well, sadly there is nothing i can actually do with the email, apart from talk to the person who sent it to me and have a wee chat about how it's really not doing any good, and no one else, ever, should read it. Also we as Christians should show others that that's totally not the case with god. That he does love every one unconditionally, and will never stop loving us. Show the population that god is love, and when you're with god, there is nowhere else you'd rather be.

so..now that I've totally gotten over the initial "grrr" of reading such a counter-productive email, I'm gonna go and leave you with the thoughts above.

Enjoy

Jonny.

hope this has helped someone.

haha, so I got bored

Hello

SOoo..here's that verb I was talking about.
It has massive bass responce, but basically none on the other end of the scale.
So I'm calling it a bass verb haha because I can't reallllly make it again, with out spending money, and I don't exactly have any of that at the moment.



I don't how ever have a bass over here, so I've got to wait until I get back to really test it out, but I'm sure Steve would like another toy to mess with.
It has a pretty awesome foot step (like...war of the worlds meats JP1 kinda BOOOOOMING footstep) effect if you really kick it, so it might be kinda cool for some epic Muse type stuff.

Any who, I might go play some guitar...on my Nana's guitar as my strings haven't come yet :(

"Oh the book was much better than the movie.."

His neck snapped back hopelessly. mean while Jake had taken exactly three steps back, into a classic forward stance. Sweeping up his right leg from behind him, he used the momentum to power the oncoming jumping turning instep. Still dazed, Dave didn't know what was coming. Jake's foot sliced through the air with the accuracy of the ninjas he wished he could be. Just in the last rotation of the instep he thought he had it, when out of no where came a hand, thumb tucked in and fingers bend slightly, it was a perfect knife hand. He knew this knife hand, it was that, of the Evil Martin!



I should totally write a martial arts book, and just prove that movies can be better than books!

Spring verb is coming along nicelly, pictures to come.

No reason in particular, that I'm gonna tell any one, but oh yeah..not feeling good.
I am also sick, which i blame part of this one.
Just been totally broken over the last few days, head spinning, heart not coping properly, tired all the time.
Missed out on 12 hours of work so far this week, hopefully I'll be able to work tomorrow, I need money.
Also, not hinting at anything at all, but this has become a common site for me to visit.

Time Broken

Hmm

I'm not sure exactly how to describe today.
I did a bit, not a lot, but enough.
I watched some TV. Stargate SG1 (episode 4-7 of season 2)
I did some work on my video
Got it finished actually (exporting now)
Did some work on my Wah pedal
i haven't told you about that yet have I?
Researched a little, and found a place to buy nice cheap gear.
So I'm going with them.

Just want people here
just want people to have with me really

Any way
I must go.
First post in a while I haven't had anything guitar related in.

so here's a photo of my current effects set up.
