I looked around for a thread like this, and I could not find one...
As 2005 comes to a close, I wanted to start a topic for everyone to share their thoughts about the last 36X days.
2005 was the year I discoverd many cool bands. Quo Vadis, Sun Caged, The Alarum, Becoming The Archetype, Between the Buried and Me, and many others... I would have to say Nevermore tops off the list. I had heard of them before '05, however I never really listened to their stuff. Then I heard their tune "The Heart Collecter" and it hit me like a sack of potatos. That song is deep! They have so many other great tunes as well. Loomis and the other dude are incredible... heck the whole band is. Seeing loomis play has contributed to many hours of practicing and many new ideas... It convinced me that in order to do what I want to do musically, I need a 7 string guitar. A baritone will not work.
Another wonderful thing that happened is I got engaged to the most wonderful woman ever. I bought two vehicles, a wedding ring that cost more than a custom shop Jackson, and we started building ourselves a house. I do not have money for anything else, but it makes me feel like I am doing something with my life as opposed to most of my friends who are still drinking and partying in college. I got just as much of an education as they did...Planning for our wedding, finances, and future in general has helped me grow up a lot..or maybe it has forced me to. I am not sure [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img] There have been some hard times, especially with being laid off 3 times, however things have been going pretty well.
I also started drinking beer. I never really drank before, but I am 22 and I figure it is time I loosen up a little. I still do not drink very much, but I have finally acquired a taste for beer. Rolling Rock seems to be working pretty well for me right now.
Anyone have anything they want to contribute?
