...well I know its� still two weeks �til it�s over but it�s about that time to wind things up before everybody (well almost everybody) goes into nolte mode
so I figured I�d start a brief run down now
but first let me take this opportunity to put some postive vibrations out to all of you cats here at �rock�s off� and to wish you all peace love and understanding (and that aint funny) and esp. to those of you with whom i have had some �personal� communication (and you know who you are) � remember, jah is not dead
keith was quoted here recently saying along the lines that he had no time for the internet��gossiping on the television� he called it or words to that effect�I agree with him, if I was him I wouldn�t be on the internet either because I wouldn�t need to go on line to find out what I�m doing or to locate that unreleased track I recorded ages ago -seriously �tho the only reason I pay to stay on line all the time is because of this board - it is one of the most unexpected pleasures (and aren�t they the best kind?) I have come across
so thanx and cheers to everybody and here are some of the most memorable moments of the last twelve months (imo)
favourite post � sirmoonie's keyboard character drawing of the dude doing a projectile vomit
least favourite post (and poster) � lady jane and her bogus set list
best thread title � from keno�s board as it happens � joey - �open letter to my neurons� (sorry max, if that was one of yours)
best running gag � �joey is dead� well at least that's the best one i can recall - there's been so many - that's one of the great things about this place the lol's just keep on coming
most unpleasant moments on the board � the �is jb a lawyer?� brouhaha (it�s one thing to call someone an idiot but calling them a liar is whole other thing) and my one and only �flaming row� with stonesmik (�what we have here is a failure to communicate�)
previously unheard stones music highlights:
�loving you is sweeter than ever� & �the long black veil� � thanx mottrush
�worried about you� live at the el mocambo & �golden caddy iv� � thanx ulf
�mainstreet revisited� � thanx MRD8
favourite cd release � mojo magazine�s �trojan explosion� sampler � maybe it�s true, the best things in life are free
best avatar � hard to single one out but special mention to fijijoes � �portrait of the C10� and for flat out dadaistic nonesense hats off to the raging goat
worst avatar �that godawful drawing of mick soulie used for a while
most profound comment � on my �altamont country club� thread when Roland remarked with words to the effect that �I didn�t think it was funny until I re-read after reading Hand o Fate�s (critical) reply to it.� � one�s perception of a colour is influenced by the colours that surround it - pretty deep, huh?
Biggest disappointment � not winning SS�s august competition (�tho no winner was announced) with my �triky word� entry for creative �dirty work� � I didn�t care about the prize� I was only ever after the glory
and the seemingly inevitable fact that soulie won�t make his thousand posts by xmas � �tho there�s STILL time�
best ideas that never got ( or, more hopefully, are still yet to get) off the ground � KMAX and ~A�s �heavy hitter magazine� � I can sense the beginnings of a global media empire � roll over, rupert murdoch
the most amazing thing that has happened (and not just this year but perhaps for ever and it�s the biggest thing I�ve seen so far by a long long way) and it only leaves me wondering � where to from here � a header pic. provided specifically and personally by Ronnie� how do you top that!! |

I remember I checked the Rocks Off board one day and it was bright pink and it said "The Backstreet Boys message Board", or maybe "Britney Spears meassage board" or something. I thought, What the fuck happened here? Then I realized it was April Fools Day  |

Right on, my Aussie friend.
Coming up on three years at Keno's and Rock's Off, and its been worth every absolutely unproductive minute. I've got a 6 foot stack of Stones music that I never knew existed, I've forgotten more about my favorite band than I even knew before I showed up, I've laughed damn near every day at the incredible wit that gets posted, and in the space of 10 days in Cleveland and NYC I met around 20 or so of the easiest people I've met in about 10 years anywhere else.
And I got this C10 chip....
Thanks to Jaxx, Gazza, Tequila Man, and Keno for all of it. Appreciate it more than I can express. |

SIA...my friend,
You've captured the sentiments of many, I am sure of that...
And as I sat reading your post, with an ever-growing smile upon my face, it was such a pleasure to reflect back on some of the things mentioned. The smile is still here...with thoughts of what is yet to come. What will the next topic be? Where will the next joke come from? Who will be the next 'victim'? The anticipation is what brings us back, each and every day...is this not true?
Your timing was perfect to share and rekindle. This member's hectic life was just given a reality check...all thanks to you, M. In my life, I've been blessed in so many ways. The people and the main reason that has brought all of us to congregate here, only proves to me that I've been blessed yet again.
To you SIA, and all of my new-found friends...a very heartfelt wish of happiness, health and music! Keep this wonderful music deep in your souls for years to come...
A year from now, please do this again! God willing, we will all be able to reflect on your incredible memory... |

SIA...Sorry I disappointed you during the Dirty Work contest. I did indeed announce a winner...in fact, I think I had 2 winners. Honestly, I think for that contest I put names in a hat and drew 2 out.
This gives me an idea for another contest...... |

I don't care for smoking and drinking, I just do it (NIKE)
Why should I care, How I will be in 20 years? That does not matter, I live NOW in 2002 and later on in 2003! I have seen to much to believe that drinking and smoking shortens your live! That is true for a small part but only for 20%. I'll drink in 2003, no smoking then. LET'S DRINK TO THE HARD WORKING PEOPLE, RAISE YOUR GLASS TO THE LOWELY OF BIRTH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
MOON IS UP |
