Before all he got all the tattoos that made him look like a member of a death metal band.

If want some music to chill out to on Pandora, I found a few good piano soloists to base your station on.

• Jim Brickman
• Lorie Line
• David Nevue
• Jennifer Thomas
• Paul Cardall
• Jim Chappell
• Jon Schmidt
• George Winston

There are plenty more than that though, but pick one of those and you can fine tune it. I like to thumbs down any songs that have other instruments or singing. This really makes great background music, because you usually forget it’s even playing. It’s a little melancholy, but it has become my favorite station. These artists don’t play classical songs either. They are considered “New Age”, but to me they are just piano soloists making beautiful music.

Seeing how I am a New Mexico native, I was interested in what the state quarter was going to look like (which is to be issued in 2008). I was sure they were going to use something typical like a roadrunner, piñon tree, or a nice desert scene with a yucca plant and some mountains in the distance. However, when I saw the winning design I was disappointed, but I know the reason why it sucks. Too many people in the rest of the nation don’t know it’s part of the US (even living in Texas, I’ve come across others that think this). But not only that, too often people don’t hear the “New” before “Mexico”. This is the reason why the New Mexico license plates were redone several years ago to include USA on them. And so the new quarter is yet another attempt to drive home the point that it is one of the 50 states.

Not sure how storesonlinepro.com got my personal information, but I got some lame letter saying to attend their Internet Marketing Conference. I’ve noticed that I often get mail order catalogs and magazine offers from similar companies I either ordered with online or had a magazine subscription with. Either Musician’s Friend or Guitar Player magazine sold my information to a few other outlets and so I always get guitar related magazine offers or some guitar company I never heard of sends me their product guide. I think other sites online do the same thing as I’ve gotten mail order catalogs from X-tremeGeek and CyberGuys. Although the stuff in CyberGuys is actually useful, while X-tremeGeek just has weird gadgets. I have no idea how I ever got sent a Dr. Leonard’s mail order catalog though, I’m not an elderly person. :p

I’m sure I’m not the only one that has noticed that Zest soap dissolves with even 1 drop of water on it. If you have a bar of this in your soap dish by the water faucet for washing your hands, its worthless. Its worthless even if you have little grates that let water drain out the bottom of the dish. As soon as this soap gets wet it dissolves really bad and wont last a week. While all soap will dissolve and get really soft in water this brand is the worst I’ve seen for this. I won’t make the mistake of getting this brand again.

I’ve noticed that they fixed the formula so it doesn’t dissolve instantly in water anymore, although there are probably some cases of the bad formula out there.
