return of the tiger...
I thoroughly apologize for my extended absence from the Okay Samurai webboard. I am back and on the attack in the true traditional samurai style, and dave, metaphorically speaking we're all on fire... and for all the ladies that have missed me, I'll make it up to you. I bet you ladies didnt know I have a jacuzzi in my master bedroom, well, now you know :-) To tell you the truth I kind of forgot about the webboard until dave sent me his creative portfolio and the link for the dave2n website and I got caught up on the archives from the last couple months and I must say, I laughed my freaking @$$ off!!! I love Eugene's nostalgic Okay Samurai factoids, oh man I almost peed my pants recollecting the infamous "Brian Shea/Richie Pettibon Game". And I COMPLETELY forgot he used to play bass through his jerry-rigged stereo, HAHA! I believe that might have been when we were still GEUI, even prior to the Second Nature era. I believe at the time we were rocking out "Legend of the Chinchilla" and "Chlorine Girl", which was actually written by my sister who had been playing guitar for less than 6 months. Here's another Okay Samurai factoid: I used to play that nylon stringed classical guitar with a transducer stuck to it with a piece of gray playdoh run through "The Beast Trying to Get Loose" (aka 25w Fender Champion 110) Ahh yes, and if you recall I played the very same guitar in our Second Nature "Grasscatcher" recordings and it was out of tune in EVERY SINGLE song... The second chord in the intro to Hammock was the worst, WOW. Makes me cringe to think about it. To confirm dave and jeff's posts about the weekend we visited baltimore, it was earth-shattering. Because of our visit over 2 feet of small was dumped on baltimore, schools were cancelled, fines were given for driving cars, and they're still recovering from the aftermath. And I concur that Super Smash Brothers Melee is phenomenal... Nick has a pure hatred and personal vendetta for Jeff in that game, it really is exquisite and truly quite amazing. And I thank whoever informed me that I should use Samus from metroid because "don you were killing us with him last night when we got back from the party", because I was hammered and didnt remember and was absolutely terrible with every other character i used (however smashing the ground repeatedly with donkey kong was fun) I'm at work and I'm hungry as a hostage so I will leave you with these wise words spoken by a true philosopher... "I feel a lot of good solid positive energy coming out of you great, great its all great. Yeah, a lot of pressure, you gotta rise above it. Harness in the good energy and block out the bad, harness good energy, block bad, feel the flow Happy, feel it. Its circular, its like a carousel, you put in the quarter you pay the toll, it goes up and down and around, circular, the flow, all good things." --Kevin Neelin in Happy Gilmore
