Where do you stand?
Dried 'blossom' actually. It's the buds that are smoked, not the leaves.

Your political compass Economic Left/Right: -0.63 Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -0.77 Hehe, looks like I don't really care either way.

Considering buying a new pickup.
You can, in theory set up a passive/active combo, but it's not worth the effort and takes some fiddly wiring. Basically, an active pickup gets it's extra 'hotness' from an onboard preamp which is powered by a 9v battery fitted in the circuit. Passive pickups don't need any additional power, so basically you'd have to run an active and a non-active circuit from each respective pickup. Also, active pickups use different potentiometers in the volume and tone pots, so you would need to have pots specific to each pickup. In short, it's just not really worth the effort.

Considering buying a new pickup.
Dimebuckers are nice pickups and will pack the punch you want, but there's pickups out there I prefer. I reckon you'll get alot of people recommending EMGs, 80s or 61s, but I quite like to avoid those. I think passive pickups give a much more natural tone than the actives. But, if you do want to try actives, check out the new Dave Mustaine pickups from Seymour Duncan. Other pickups I would recommend would be Bareknuckle Warpigs, DiMarzio Super Distortion or the DiMarzio Air Norton. Sorry I couldn't be more helpful, but I play Stratocasters, so I'm not well read on Humbuckers. EDIT: Pickups are (mostly) built to standard sizes. The Dimebuckers should fit in your guitar perfectly.

Most Embarrasing Thing You Ever Did
It was definately interesting, to say the least. Singing along was just the icing on the cake. I forgot to mention the song was playing on my iPod, not the PA system.

Dancing in a pub gazebo to 'Little Lies' by Fleetwood Mac. Don't judge me.

Pete Coors booked on DUI
actualy, A study proved your driving is still severly impaired even if you are not "legally" drunk, so it is still considered a big beal. I don't really think that matters. It only mattered that he was 0.008 over the legal level, not 0.088 above the 'sober' level. If you're gonna take into account the effects below the legal level, why even have the limit?

Mood setting music, suggestions?
Anything at all by Pantera. Pantera = workout music.
-
Pete Coors booked on DUI
0.008 above the legal level? Fair enough, the guy was technically 'drunk driving', but I fail to see the big deal. He's gonna get [bleep]ed just because he owns Coors. Go Democracy.

Epic Songs
Good call on Knights of Cydonia. Reading my own name reminded me that Lateralus is epic as hell.

Epic Songs
Rush - 2112 Pink Floyd - Shine On You Crazy Diamond Tool - Third Eye Tool - Wings for Marie/10,000 Days Deep Purple - Child in Time I just posted according to what I think your definition of 'epic' is. There's alot of songs that are epic to me, because of what I connect them to or how they make me feel, but they might only be 5 minutes long.

What are you wearing today?
Plain white t-shirt. Blue jeans. How bland.

Book Advice
If you don't mind really dark novels, try The Wasp Factory by Iain Banks. It's excellent.

My name is Cocaine
Maybe because real poets get stoned? Just a random thought, don't flame me. :D It worked for Jim Morrison.

My name is Cocaine
Most anti-drug literature/prose/poetry is really pathetic. There's a message in there, but to me it's overpowered by the stench of cheese.

So I get to see where all our stuff gets made.
Nah the whole idea of communism is that no matter what work you do, everyone gets paid equal. All it realy does it bring forth laziness (it doesn't matter how good you do your job, just how you do it) and realy doesn't leave any room to spark creativity. Have fun in china btw :) Again, that's down to human flaw. What he's saying that in theory, communism could be a paradise, but putting humans into the equation makes it fail. Well in theory it's nice. Everyone get's treated equal, gets paid the same, ect. Thing is though is that it was designed for humans, not for something else. The fact that someone, for example, working at a fast food restaraunt would make as much as a doctor would is just absurd. And when you put into what work hours would be (you wouldn't have to go in at 4AM for fast food, but as a doctor you may.) Relax guy, I agree with you. I'm just saying I think all the dude was saying is that communism is a nice ideal.

HENDRIX
The fact that Hendrix was an average technical guitarist should NOT at all take away from the fact that he made excellent music.

Is there a reason why guys can't cry?
It's not as good as Lateralus or Aenima, but it's still good music. Vicarious, The Pot, 10,000 Days, Rosetta Stoned and Right in Two are all great tracks.

That's the only film i've ever cried at. Admittedly i was at a pretty crappy point in my life when i watched it but the ending was so powerful i couldn't help myself. I wasn't bawling like a little girl but i had a few tears. "Don't put it on boss, I'm afraid of the dark." Oh John!!! :cry: :cry: Definately misty eyed at that bit. Same goes for Armageddon. Bruce Willis should never, ever die.
