Why don't spend more time on messenger like you used to?
Don't you love me anymore?
Also, Fender, the amp/guitar company for punks and why. I request a small dissertation on the topic (less than 5000 characters, more than 100).

Are you a punk? Do you even own a Fender? Wouldn't you really rather be called...oh, say........"First Act Goody-two-shoes"?...Or "Gibson-******".....or even "Martin-Minstrel-Man"....... I mean Fender-punk is such a label..... I just don't see you as a real punk????? LOL!

Great question. I was younger, more full of angst, and at the time was ready to discuss it anywhere. My views since then have changed as I've learned much more, and now to discuss topics not allowed here I go on the Zeitgeist Movement forums.
I've also matured a lot in the 2 years I've been on here. I think living on my own is a big part of that.
There's users here who don't like me, and that's cool, that's why they have an ignore list. I don't need to be everyone's friend.
Don't know her aside from reading her well and other posts on here. I just pm'd her yesterday saying I hadn't done the well, and would like to do it.
I like a lot of Fenders and my favourite guitars are Fenders, that said, I love Gretsch, G&L, PRS, Mosrites, and like some Godins, thin Gibsons with P-90s (LP/SG Jr) and Ibanez Artcores.

How well do you know Kirei?
Are you really super-into Fenders, or just guitars that fit the profile?

Re: The Well LXXXII: Fender_Punk Sees The Well As Half Full
I chose my username to be my favourite genre of music and my favourite brand of guitars. Why for punks? Well they cut can through the mix when playing with lots of distortion, can do ska really well, can take a beating, and a great platform for some DIY-modding. Why not? Many guitars can be used for punk, Fenders/Squiers included.
See above answer, however I do love irony and oxymorons, and really it's just a user name. I wouldn't say I'm a "punk" anymore as that's not all I listen to and I no longer like labelling people.

what do you do (e.g. employed, student, both, other)?
what is your highest level of education
where were you born
what is the single most important accomplishment you'd like to achieve before you draw your final breath
what accomplishment have you achieved that is your proudest
what accomplishment have you achieved that is your most profound regret
what do we not know about you that you'd like us to?
what do we think we know about you that is false
what are some of the philosophical truths that guide you in your day-to-day?
what did your parents/family of origin do well that you hope to emulate?
what did your parents/family of origin do not well that you hope to improve upon ?
favorite childhood memory?
tell us one thing that was true about you 5 years ago that is no longer true and you are happy that it is not true
tell us one thing that was true about you 5 years ago that is no longer true and you are sad that it is not true
tell us one thing that is not true today but you hope will be true about you in 5 years that you welcome

tell us of your most influential romantic relationship - how did it start - how did it end (if it has ended) - how did it influence who you are today
what one thing (that is not about your physical appearance) would you change about yourself today if you had a magic wand that would serve this purpose

Re: The Well LXXXII: Fender_Punk Sees The Well As Half Full
June 20 I started a program at a local youth community centre called Tri-Rock which is a gov't funded employment program. After 8 weeks of skill-building (First Aid, Safe Food Handlers, Workplace Hazardous Materials Info System) and janitorial duties I finished "phase 1" on August 14. I played from 12-2pm the following work week on the roof of a mall downtown, which was fun employment. Tomorrow I have a job interview at a music instrument store where my placement for "phase 2" will be if hired(basically the centre subsidizes the employers my wages for 2 months and after they can keep me on or let me go).
High-school. Graduated on the honour roll, last year, going to apply to college this year to attend in 2010. I am going to study audio production/engineering.
Mississauga, which is a city just south of Toronto and part of the Greater Toronto Area.
Leave this planet in better shape then I found it. #2 would be to rock out to a crowd of 10,000 or more people.
There's many accomplishments I'm proud of, but being that music is such a major part of my life I would say learning to drums, guitar, bass and sing (in that order). I'm now working on keyboard, although I'll really always be learning on any instrument I pick up.
Not talking to my father for seven years. I don't want to get into that, but it's my pleasure to we get along better than ever and keep in regular contact.
I've usually been above the maturity level of my age group and proof of this is that I have (and have had for some time) friends older than myself. I attribute this both to my parents and having two older sisters.
I like guitars other than Fenders, and music other than punk rock.

Strong work ethic, well-educated, funny, optimistic and determined.
Some of them have had problems with drugs (including alcohol), and some with gambling.
Too hard to pick.
I was closed minded.
Not "sad" about it but definitely working on is that I'm not as physically fit as I used to be. Not that I've gained a ton of weight, but I've lost my six pack and could use more exercise in my life.
That I will be able to book gigs and tour whenever I want and will be working on my 4th or 5th album.
Death.

Re: The Well LXXXII: Fender_Punk Sees The Well As Half Full
I guess my last one was the most influential as since about 13 I didn't go more than a few weeks without being in a relationship and after my last one I decided I'd rather stay single for awhile. That relationship started when we met through facebook, met up at my then-band's practise space which wasn't far from her place and lasted from March-November 2008. It ended as I started working evenings and she was in school during the day, not to mention her parents didn't like her having a boyfriend who had his own apartment, and made it difficult for her to see me.
To live in the Netherlands, British Columbia, or Spain. Of those three I've only been to BC (which is beautiful) but they all seem like places I'd enjoy living in.

O darn. Is the attention off of me? What the hell guys? hehe.
Someone explain this to me. Is this some sort of SD Forum tradition? Like a roast or something?

Re: The Well LXXXII: Fender_Punk Sees The Well As Half Full
I kind of miss the hollow-body, it was all-maple except the rosewood fretboard, but there were a few dead frets and the Strat I traded it for has nice neck and middle pickups, comfy neck and no dead frets, just want to replace the bridge pickup and I'll start using it more.
The two Teles are really neck in neck, can't really pick a favourite. I guess the Fender is a bit more versatile in the tones it can coax but the Squier having the Phat Cat is heavier and crunchier under the same amount of gain, and has a couple nice clean tones, but not as great as the Fender in that department. The necks are the same shape but the Fender is a tad thicker, both feel great though. Both have alder bodies, the Squier being a bit lighter, no more than a pound lighter though. In terms of craftsmanship the '90s Korean Squier (Standard series) seems on par with the '04 MIM Fender.
EDIT: Forgot to mention my Squier Jazz Bass. Great axe for the $150 I paid. Alder body, bare maple neck, nice dark rosewood board with pearl dot inlays. The pickups could be better but I bring it to open jams and it has no problem keeping up or sounding good through the house bass-amp (which granted is fairly big). I want to eventually give it a new pickguard (red) and maybe new pickups.

It's a way to get to better know your forum bros and sisters. It goes for about a week or less if the well has "dried up" (no new questions) or the holder is tired of answering questions.
