So Anyway...

So anyway, I do not like these holidays. They are too focused on imagining a reality that does not exist. No, not Santa Claus (because he does exist). More like gifts that people cannot afford (which they say that we will worry about later - and they will), and the promise of a new tomorrow with the mere change of a calendar date without applying any real effort except a broken or briefly heeded "resolution".
This half-empty glass moment has been brought to you by RVA. Bah Humbug.

The commercialism of it absolutely appalls me.
(Ooh Christmas! Gonna get stuff!).
And the over the top aggressiveness on the roads
due to the shopping frenzy.
("Get the f**k out of my way! I'm spreading good cheer.")
And people who are nice "because it's Christmas"
but are total condoms the other 51 weeks.
There. Now the glass is completely empty.
You're welcome.
Glad to help.

Which is not as bad as the one in the middle of every major city, which was decades or even centuries old when they chopped it down. I remember the irony a few years ago when they found one on land owned by the Catholic church, and the church wss honored to donate it ro be used as the Rock Center NYC tree. How is that for bass ackwards!!??

I am tired brothers and sisters. What a day!
So I got my certificate of disposition from court showing all my prior history with the authorities to submit in connection with my gun permit application. It consists of an open container summons I got in 1986 - that's it. However, I must now write up an affidavit explaining the circumstances surrounding this incident, which goes something like this:: Older boys hand a 17 year old RVA a beer. RVA holds beer as police arrive. RVA gets summons and an a$$ whooping from dad. Summons gets dismissed.
If nothing else, the pistol licensing department is thorough!

With that kind of a record I wouldn't give you a gun permit either.
Actually I'm sorry I started hanging around on a forum with shady types such as you.
Back in 1986 did you make a conscious decision to keep a clean record so that in 30 years you could do an armed rod at the local liquor shop.
Seriously they're looking at a 30 year old small time kid thing that was dismissed, WOW.

yep. Meanwhile there are multiple reports of brutal home invasions each week in my locality. Bass ackwards.

From 1968 / 1970 my driving record was almost a speed conviction a week. 3 months grounded in 1970 had me change my riding style and no more convictions to this day. Well except for about 5 years ago I was pulled over dead to rights (high speed), cop looked at the computer in his car and said "On your way you can do no wrong, we wouldn't dirty a clean driving record like yours". Glad he didn't have access to old microfiche records.

So anyway, today is exactly 2 years into my magical journey into learning to play guitar, learn about music theory, work on / modify guitars and build tube amps and pedals.
I wish I had started younger, say at 10, or 20, or whatever instead of 50.
Cheers and Merry Christmas everyone!

Congrats on your journey! Hope it's coming along well! I too started about 3 years ago at 54. It's been rough, but I'll never give up...
Merry Christmas!
