This isn't about having too many expectations, either. You just need to share what you are thinking and what you are feeling. How the other person reacts is not something you can control, so it's not something you need to worry about. You will still feel vulnerable, there's no getting away from it. But you need to make them aware of your feelings. http://ravenluna.multiply.com/journal/item/15/Critical_Points Fri, 17 Oct 2008 17:41:20 -0000 revisiting old hobbies (Hobbies That Don't Require My Computer louie version) bought this last saturday at 2Rats GoldCrest: 1/72 Scale Armored Core MIRAGE C02 - URANUS gotta admit that when i opened the box, i was stunned by the number of parts (and uber small parts) that this kit has. i was intimidated by the complexity of the kit, considering that the last time i built one was back in high school, more than 5 years ago. it was fun building it, but one small part (about 2mm x 1mm small) decided it did not want to be part of the kit and eloped with a dust bunny. started building it the night i bought it, and Ana helped me finish last monday. this kit is based on a PS game that i was addicted to back in HS, and building it made me want to buy a PS3 just to play this again. links: this is what it's supposed to look like when detailed: <a href="http://www.kotous.com/?p=1577">http://www.kotous.com/?p=1577</a> ana's cool toy: <a href="http://coffeedtea.multiply.com/photos/album/4/Hobbies_That_Dont_Require_My_Computer">http://coffeedtea.multiply.com/photos/album/4/Hobbies_That_Dont_Require_My_Computer</a> more stuff i can't buy (because it's in Japan and i'm too lazy to handle shipping):... http://ravenluna.multiply.com/photos/album/5/revisiting_old_hobbies_Hobbies_That_Dont_Require_My_Computer_louie_version Wed, 3 Sep 2008 14:54:57 -0000 excellent portable hi-fi sound got this earlier: AKG K414P <img class="alignmiddleb" src="http://images.ravenluna.multiply.com/image/1/photos/upload/300x300/SKlvBwoKCm4AABh2aqk1/K-414-P-M486e16d58a886.jpg?et=3NHOmOGhx3GGUi%2Bb9CWY0g&nmid=0" border="0"> great hi-fi sound for your mp3 player. no more muffled, unbalanced sound from your off the shelf on-ear or in-ear phones, and you hear more frequencies you were not even aware existed. you get crisp highs, warm bass that's not too boomy, and you get rich mids that balances your sound perfectly. specs: Headphones weight without cable (g) 73 Sensitivity (dB/mW, dB/V*) 125 Audio bandwidth (Hz to kHz) 12-28 Rated impedance (ohms) 32 3D-Axis (folding mechanism) <img alt="Yes" src="http://www.akg.com/akg_personal/live/p_tree/gfx/check.gif"> Patented self-adjusting headband <img alt="Yes" src="http://www.akg.com/akg_personal/live/p_tree/gfx/check.gif"> Unbreakable metal arches <img alt="Yes" src="http://www.akg.com/akg_personal/live/p_tree/gfx/check.gif"> 99.99% oxygen-free cable (length in m) 1,0 Hard gold-plated jack plug and contacts <img alt="Yes" src="http://www.akg.com/akg_personal/live/p_tree/gfx/check.gif"> Closed-back, dynamic headphones <img alt="Yes" src="http://www.akg.com/akg_personal/live/p_tree/gfx/check.gif"> NdFe magnets <img alt="Yes" src="http://www.akg.com/akg_personal/live/p_tree/gfx/check.gif"> Suited for (SA)CD, DVD(A), DAT <img alt="Yes" src="http://www.akg.com/akg_personal/live/p_tree/gfx/check.gif"> Best for MP3, CD, MD and PC/laptops <img alt="Yes" src="http://www.akg.com/akg_personal/live/p_tree/gfx/check.gif"> how does it compare to brands like sennheiser, jbl, shure, or skullcandy? sound quality is better, and the price is cheaper. it's made by Harman anyway so expect nothing but the best. th... http://ravenluna.multiply.com/journal/item/14/excellent_portable_hi-fi_sound Mon, 18 Aug 2008 13:01:59 -0000 wiser words to live by (makes more sense too) Do unto others as ye wish to do unto them. For this is thy right as a being of free will. Thou may treat thy neighbor good or ill, as per thy will. But remember this: He also is free to respond according to his will; and it would do thee well to temper thine action with judgment. Thou shalt not kill out of anger, lust or evil. Yet to protect that which is important—self, family, liberty—kill swiftly and without mercy. If thou art not willing to do this, ye shall lose all that matters to thee. Worry not of covetousness, for thoughts are free and difficult to rein. Work, rather, on restraint in thine actions. Worship not idols, symbols, gods nor men. Worship only knowledge, freedom and thine own self. A man may do all that he wishes to do. Yet it may not always be wise for him to do so. Listen to the opinions of others and weigh their merits, for others may see options ye have not. Yet follow thine own heart for the final decision.

SPF, Song4, Hemlock..). now, the ZW-44 is a monster on its own. it sounds very similar to a marshall shredmaster distortion pedal with a low gain setting or with your guitar's volume knob rollede down (but your shredmaster's gain setting up full). you can barely hear the difference between the two. in fact, in the last MaHaSa band practice, i kept on using the ZW-44 as my main dirt pedal and just used the shredmaster for boosts - and the boys didn't even notice. oh yeah, did i already say that it makes you sound lik... http://ravenluna.multiply.com/journal/item/4/gear_updateupgrade Fri, 29 Jun 2007 15:04:56 -0000 new stuff http://ravenluna.multiply.com/photos/album/4/new_stuff Fri, 29 Jun 2007 14:45:02 -0000 gear http://ravenluna.multiply.com/photos/album/3/gear Sun, 20 May 2007 01:39:16 -0000 gear update::upgrade i just swapped my Ibanez RG-370DX with an Ibanez RG-320FM at Audiophile. this geetar was still fresh from the box when i got it! specs: neck type 3pc Wizard II neck body Flamed Maple top/Basswood body fret Jumbo frets bridge Edge III bridge neck pu INF3 (H) neck pu bridge pu INF4 (H) bridge pu i had Raymond from Audiophile set up my new guitar. i had it set-up for Eb tuning, and i had him install GHS Progressive strings with a gauge of 10. normally, people just put gauge 9's on their superstrats, but somehow, 9's doesn't feel reight for me. yeah, i like the 320FM better than the 370DX. http://ravenluna.multiply.com/journal/item/3/gear_updateupgrade Fri, 18 May 2007 13:00:53 -0000 gear update::upgrade new stuff: Ibanez RG-370DX<A href="http://ravenluna.multiply.com/photos/hi-res/upload/RkcrUwoKClkAAFvF0CQ1"> <IMG class=alignmiddle src="http://images.ravenluna.multiply.com/image/1/photos/upload/300x300/RkcrUwoKClkAAFvF0CQ1/luiPhoto0012.jpg?et=YYlCSqwmBjh57Z3KWXYShA" border=0> </A>just bought a new guitar, the Ibanez RG-370DX. it has these cool specs: neck type            3pc Wizard II neck body                   Basswood body fret                      Jumbo frets bridge                 Edge III bridge neck pu               INF3 (H) neck pu middle pu            INFS3 (S) mid pu bridge pu            INF4 (H) bridge pu well, the Edge III bridge gives me a bit of a headache.. i'm really not fond of floating bridges that much, but h... http://ravenluna.multiply.com/journal/item/2/gear_updateupgrade Sun, 13 May 2007 15:15:29 -0000 gear update::upgrade just changed the stock bridge pickup of my Ibanez ARC-300DVS to the Dimarzio FRED pickup. the sound is just right for my music - tame, classic, very responsive, and it has a lot if mids. my effects respond very well to it, specially my wah pedal. in contrast to the stock Ibanez ACH pickups that has a sort of compression on it everytime you pick, the Dimarzio FRED only does it when you want it to, allowing me to produce the sound that i always want only when i want. when doing solos, the notes are more whole, and FRED's got longer sustain. oh yeah, my violin bow sounds great on it too! here's the tech talk straight from the Dimarzio website: Wiring: 4 conductor Magnet: Alnico 5 Output: 305 DC Resistance: 10.07 Sound (volume/output):    Treble: 5.5 out of 10    Mid: 6 out of 10    Bass: 5 out of 10 We designed FRED® to bump the mid-range of the PAF Pro® EQ up a notch, but in the process, something unusual happened.
