Random movie quote to make you seem hip and "with it": "I once saw this in a movie, it was about a bus that had to keep it's "speed" above 50, and if it's "speed" dropped, it would explode...I think it was called "The Bus That Couldn't Slow Down"!

So, about a month ago I was thinking, "man, this Ibanez is getting boring." so I went out and bought a Taylor, and $1700 later, it was mine...

it's one of the 214 series, its beautiful...it really is.

anyway, just thought i'd share it with you guys

i have a 214 and i got in for about 700 here in the states
For us living any other ways was nuts. with all the goodie-goodies working shitty jobs for bum pay checks, took the subway work and worried about their bills were dead. they were suckers, they had no balls. if we wanted something we just took it, and if anybody complained twice they got hit so hard believe me they never complained again
