This was an online game I played back in 2002. If the checkmate wasn't there, I'd be in serious trouble.

Skateboards = obsessed, sweaty kids with skinned knees, scratches, cuts, bruises, & scrapes. I must applaud them because they always wear their helmets & they get back on & try again.

Penny Lane is one of those tunes that makes it fun to play bass guitar. It makes the entire thing what it is. Not anything like the other instruments in the tune, it's doing its own thing far apart from them. So different. Which is why it's so unique. All the instruments are playing from the same book but on different pages & they beautifully coincide. The theoretical structure suggests a simple bass line, but McCartney makes it almost complex with many subtleties that render the tune such a masterful production. They must've spent some time on it.

Well, I should get off my ass & finish the trailer because the grass is getting long after all the rain we've had and the garden needs some tending to.

I weighed 205 again this morning. That means I'm about to drop another pound or two.

Question: Does coffee contain any calories? Someone told me it does.
