Chinese Democracy – Guns and Roses

 I spent the weekend on and off checking out the Guns and Roses new album Chinese Democracy on MySpace.

 The begining is pretty dissapointing especially for those familliar with the repertoire beyond the hits except for some occasional and sporadic visits of the real AxlRose, some decent guitar solos and a hint of Arabic harmonies in “If the world” but nothing that resonates. But then comes song number 9 “Sorry” and brings the entire experience to a different level. From that point on its uphill. Now I am sucker for metal ballads and “Sorry”, “IRS”, “Madagascar”, and “This I Love” match the expectations and hype of the  14 years of long waiting for the next GNR. 

These are the songs that got  the least plays on myspace of the entire album as of tonight and its a pitty. I guess the perception is that you put the best songs first and  the rest are space fillers.  This has never been the case with GNR.

So if you listen to the album, perhaps start from the end and work your way until it starts going downhill.

Atlanta’s Eliminate Prop 8 Rally

Looking my Home Screen in the Mirror

 Lying in bed this after Halloween morning and organizing my home screen Icons, I realised that this is a snapshot of my current existance and probably says a lot about what I do and who I am as much as a detailed bio. 

Tomorrow’s priorities will be different and there are other apps from my other four screens and new ones that will make their way up to Home while others will be downgraded as life moves on. Recent suprising downgrade was the You Tube app which was a past pride and joy.

So here it is from bottom left to top (aka order of importance).

1. Phone – still is the most important function
2. Email – Work, Gmail, Yahoo
3. Ipod 
4. Browser
5. Vitalist – ToDo app
6. Twinkle – Twitter app (newcommer from page 2 – becomming more and more prominent)
7. Evernote – notes and stuff (I rarely use paper to take notes anymore)
8. Pandora Radio – mainly for workout music
9. Calculator - 
10. Settings – to turn wifi on and off (they should have a seperate button for that)
11. Remote – to get my son’s attention when his music is blasting
12. Fring – for IMs
13. Camera
14. Maps – GPS
15. Say Who – Voice Dailer
16. Clock – my one and only wakeup device
17. Google – mainly for the RSS reader
18. SMS
19. Calendar
20. Photos
