I'm not sure if its official yet, but apparently he suffered a seizure during the luncheon :\ And you're right, George Sr. did look shaky. I liked his purple scarf anyway :P

A damper on events with Ted Kennedy's medical problem during the luncheon. No ying goes without a little yang I guess :\

extremely well said. :nice: and if one man can bring us all together to work for it ..its definitely him. he's like the thread that'll sew up the rips and tears in America. i'm not expecting miracles, but we can already see that we can absolutely expect change.

^ exactly :nice: in fact rev. lowery's benediction was fantastic. i couldn't stop grinning after he spoke. 'we ask you to help us work for that day when black will not be asked to give back, when brown can stick around, when yellow will be mellow, when the red man can get ahead, man, and when white will embrace what is right' :P it was just so funny and great in his voice.

^ the same (: I feel so excited to be alive today, to be able to watch this unfold, and have the opportunity to be a part of it. I was still a kid..12 years old.. just about to become a teenager when Pres. Bush took office. I was jusst becoming aware of politics then. And throughout my entire memory of US government, it became increasingly shameful to be a part of this country. But now, just out of my teens, its all changing again. And I'm so proud :nice: It all just feels so ...connected. Not just our country coming together, but globally. Its such a nice, warm fuzzy feeling :P M.

aww :\ oh you'll see through them alright. you'll also run right into them. :nice: I REALLY wish I could fall asleep.

aw, lucky! you'll win a special trip to mars very soon. ...just beware the martians living there. they happen to be awfully territorial. I wish to win the songwriting contest I entered recently. winner gets a paid trip to London to record :wacky:

^eee, lovely song. also, I'm not afraid of hibernation :nice: you'll be bulletproof ...only you'll happen to be bitten by a mosquito and suffer terribly from malaria. I wish I could go back in time.

Done, but she'll have to move abroad, and you'll die of heartache. (has anyone noticed how depressing this thread gets? :P) ...I wish I could fall asleep :/

carla? :)

pretty fantastic (: its not always easy for people to get the dynamics right for a song in order to convey feeling, but, you've got it down :nice: and those curtains could eat someone up. :S M.

^ ee, happy birthday :nice: so many in January. mine's March the 9th. M.

eep, double post as well, sorry. ...It wasn't to be funny either. its chilly in my room, and I shivered when I clicked submit (what are the odds) Bah. Anyway, its actually really simple with these programs.. you can record track by track (or simultaneously), and then mix your levels/effects/etc the way you like, convert to .mp3 (or whatever you wish) and viola. instant hit :P

mm hmm (:

I don't know if this is of any use at all, but on the topic of software.. I just learned about Mixcraft a month or so ago, and have been using the free demo version of it, and I really love it. Its simple to use, does a lot of things for you, and also comes with a nice variety of midi instruments (in case that's something you're also looking for). ...I feel like an infomercial. But, I'd had a copy of my cousin's Cakewalk Guitar Tracks for yearrrs, and I already like Mixcraft's interface more (for now) :nice: http://www.acoustica.com/mixcraft/ edit: true about Cubase.. I just haven't had the patience to work out how to use it :/

Every shop I went to had them? Or was there just an overstock of cadbury cream eggs in 2006 :P

^ agreed. I really liked it when they just wore street clothes. it put them more on the same level as the audience, and for those who complain that they've become too pompous, etc. ..I think going back to wearing street clothes would change that image of them a bit. They'd look much more accessible again. But I do love that they have the creativity/guts/vision to dress up.. I just worry the coordinated outfits thing comes off a little toooo boy band :P I know they said they started it all to make themselves feel more connected as a band again, and honestly, their music's been increasingly amazing recently, and that's the thing that matters most to me. I already believe in them 100% I just think sometimes their outfits get in the way of people taking their music seriously. But I do like purple (:

all I can say is cadbury cream eggs. *sighs* did you know you're extremely lucky for having them in shops year round? we get them for Easter, and only for Easter. I must've bought a whole case while I was in the Uk last time. ..I'd be feeling sad right now, but its almost Easter again, so its alright. Oh and also, I voted :nice: M.

oh everyone's already said it, but it made me smile enough to have to say it too... the 2008 memories one is really special :nice:

aw, priceless! *rolls around laughing* ...he just needs bushier eyebrows.

these are all so beautiful :nice:

i like ribena... you just can't get it in the states :dozey:

boo

everytime i come by and read what's new here, i feel so happy. this was such a fantastic idea. its been said a thousand times before, but, the amount of effort and creativity everybody has put into this is just amazing. if this doesn't make them feel like the best band in the world, then i don't know what would :nice: M.

that'll brighten the atmosphere :rolleyes: *scoots away juuust a bit* :P
