I still have and use a Technics system that I bought in 1990. Put some Rush 2112 on it wide open and it hurts.

Yeah, older electronics tend to stick around. BUT not when you torture them in the way that I did that poor receiver.

My Technics set was passed down from my dad, with strict instructions to treat it with the utmost respect. I did.

I did kill a vintage tube amp once--an old Vibrolux. Such a shame.

Well, my dad knew that I was into doing Noise stuff, (It was common for them to come home from work with it blaring SUPER loud from my bedroom. I always wore earplugs since it was so loud. I got scared out of my skin a few times when they would come home early and open the bedroom door on me doing all of this stuff.) but he had no idea I would be crazy enough to try that with the stereo receiver. I had been doing it for a long time with a guitar amp and it still worked, so I thought that using a receiver for a feedback loop wouldn't hurt it.

I was VERY wrong about that.

I killed the fender through a tragic combination of teenaged stupidity and homebrew electronics

Trying what?

Love.

Love.

I love all elegant things, like proofs and the laws of physics.

Saying goodbye to this:




Oddly enough, now It'd be better for me when wearing a skirt. The big issue is that it is too "pretty", and a major issue to use as a daily bike. I already have another cheapo bike equipped for daily commuting.

Seeing romance makes me ache.

Thinking I have to take a break from the forums and watch Seahawks vs 49ers, seems like the Broncos pounded the Patriots which means that it's possible that the only two states in the union that has legalized marijuana may have pro football teams going head to head in the Superbowl. Whatever significance that has?...Meh!

Apparently, a pro-legalization group was looking to purchase a Super Bowl ad. I wonder if they pulled it off?

I suppose we'll find out as the Seattle Seahawks go head to head against the Denver Broncos. 
Go Seahawks!

Yup    It'll be

Seahawks

VS

Broncos

In

NY

Should be quite a game 

I'll enjoy the game secure in the knowledge that my team won months ago. 

Why am i happy right now...

Why on earth didn't the 49ers try a field goal and tie it?? Then go into overtime!!!

Waiting for people to forget me...

Could be a very long wait!

If people forgot me, they would be happier.
