Scamacasters on Craigslist

Image
Hello people. Today has been like many other days in the past, I have experienced something that is very common. People on craigslist posting misleading or ripp off ads for musical instruments! Check this next posting out: Fender Stratocaster with Amp, Case, and Strap - $475 (Carleton) 475 dollars. Now there really isn't anyway this could be that great of deal, even if it was what it said it was. A  used Fender strat made in mexico will usually cost between 200-300 dollars used, but that doesn't mean that people don't try to get more for them, which I will elaborate on later! So its not taking it for granted that you can usually find a great amp in the 175 dollar price range. Here is a picture of what the guy is selling: This is a squire! I am getting so tired of people listing squires as fenders. The amp is a beginner amp made by crate, it is 10 watts. I highly doubt that this guitar/amp combo could have even cost 300 brand new , let alone 475 dollars used ! I hate i

McDonalds Icecream Cones

Hello people, today I decided to get an icecream cone at Mcdonalds. I got one dipped in chocolate for 1.39. It tasted really good, but I have a huge problem with something. I have had Mc Donald's Ice Cream cones in 3 different states where my family has lived, South Carolina, Wisconsin, and Michigan. I remember getting really big icecream cones, not all the time but they never made them small. Now whenever I get one, it doesn't matter where, they are always TOO SMALL! I am not an idoit, I know they have a little picture of what the cone size is supposed to be be, they have had that for years, and most of the time it was disregarded. Now it seems though, they are being really strict with their sizes.  I remember getting a few ice cream cones this big back in the good old days. They weren't always this big, but I do remember happier times when they made them this b ig. Now this cone right here---t is not that big, not as big as the one above, but it still looks

dilemas

Hello people. Well today I think I may be forced to take it easy, I have one eye that is a little red/infected... I took the contact that was in it out. The last time this happened, I did that, and my eye eventually got back to normal. Lately I have been obsessed with the idea of purchasing a flying V. I think I do have the money right now, it is just that I would not look forward to being broke, plus I need to keep a little extra money for a recording session thing on the 24th. I do have practice with Koji tonight. I need to get my ass over to music go round and buy some new strings. This weekend at a gig I got carried away and broke a bunch of them-- plus I have a bass that has been bugging me for new strings. Plus my seafoam green strat still has heavy strings on it, (former recycled bass strings that were oo short for bass)--- and now I can only play it in drop C. I think I might want to put it back into standard evenually.. Plus my other strat (the one with all the broken
