Your Best and Worst

Archive: 22 posts


This is simple. It's not a game, it's just a way of seeing what the people of LBPC are up to. Basically, all you have to do is list the "Best" and "Worst" thing that happened to you this week (and the weeks to come). If you do not have a 'best', or a 'worst', just say so. Please remember this is a 'general chat' thread and you are allowed to talk about anything, as long as it's appropriate and abides by LBPC's guidelines. I'll start:

Best: Nov 1st, 2009 - a local video game store saved the day because they were able to professionally clean a dvd for me that would not play. I needed the dvd for my job, and only had about 2 hours to somehow fix it. I don't know anyone with a disc cleaner, except for the local video game store, so they hooked me up! They said that normally they only run the machine on week days, but since this was an emergency they turned it on anyway.

Worst: Oct 31st, 2009 - My PS3 died. Absolutely a horrible day. I had the whole day planned: Play Ratchet & Clank ACIT. Mrs Powershifter was busy, so I wanted to cash in on what I call "me time" (or video game time). After about an hour of game play ... blank screen, red flashing light, no response. No worries though - I should be back online within a few weeks. Until then .. *sigh* .. who knows.

So what's your Best and Worst of the week?

Best: Mates came down to see me for Halloween. Was a pretty good night and lots of partying... (and everything thats goes with that lol)

Worst: Ok so last night some of the girls were having an 'initiation' for their society so they were getting vvvvveeeerrrrryyyy drunk. One girl lost her keys to her room, so my roomy kindly offered to sleep on the floor and let her sleep in his bed. I had no idea this was happening and at 2 o'clock in the morning awoke to the sound of rushing water in my room. I turned on my light and saw a figure at the end of my bed. I jumped pretty bad as you can imagine it gave me quite a fright. It was the girl who my roomy let in. I realised the rushing water sound was coming from her direction- but she wasn't being sick (im pretty sure u can guess what it really was). So yeah she mistook my bedroom for the toilet. Ok, so not too bad as we have got wooden floors. But when i went in to see my roomy she got into my bed and soaked it entirely.


I was not a happy bunny lol.

Best- Finally got sent a new Rock Band drum pedal after my other one broke at the start of September.

Worst- Worst guitar lesson ever. A substitute was in because my usual guitar teacher was at a gig. The whole lesson was two exercises, one scale that I'd already done and note bending (which anyone can do).

S-a-s - note bending can be awkward sometimes... If you don't bend to exactly the right pitch, it can sound wierd.

Anyways - Best, having a gig; played a couple of our own songs, and slither, in too deep, and then finished with our new cover, 'East Jesus Nowhere' (Green Day) which went down well. + i got the solo in it for once

bad: Well. Nothing this week yet

Yeah, but It's pretty simple compared to what I was learning before though.

Best: Reading this thread

Worst: Accidentally kicking a glass of ribena over, spilling it all over the carpet in my room, having to move my bed and desk to clean it up, and now having to sit right up against a bookcase in an awkward position waiting for the carpet to dry so I can move the desk back.

Best: RAMUNE! AND POCKEY! My day is made whenever I eat/drink that stuff!
Worst: Tipping the Ramune over and getting some sticky, good stuff wasted. At least it didn't spill too much. Also remembering I havn't updated my blog in like FOREVER.

Pretty boring day, anywho,

Details? PM them to me if need-be, or don't post them at all if you feel like it. Eat a yoghurt if you feel like it too.

Fast stuff for soloing on the high E-string and linking that into scales at different positions.

I learnt parisian walkways lead/ rhythm 2 months or so ago so I got a lot better at note bending from that.

You focused a lot on the bad stuff - which was bad and really unfortunate for you - however I quoted this line because this is a HUGE good thing that happened to you. Sometimes we focus too much on the negatives that happen in life and totally miss the positives. I'm not saying you missed the positive, but I am saying that it's huge, and it's awesome

Best: Nov 5th, 2009 - I performed my best drum solo I've ever done in front of people for the Guitar Center Drum Off 2009 District Finals - Watch it here (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PZ_2DvKpnxw)

Worst: Nov 5th, 2009 - I didn't win the drum competition - and I received my box to send my PS3 back to Sony to be fixed
