7th: Vocab words assignment

A place to put vocab words.

The dismal day was ravenouselly dripping wet upon the back of my neck. My old canvas army jacket was grimly holding onto all moisture that would fatefully fall upon it. As I walked the street, the avenger of those less fortunate than I, a horde from the fens here in Ireland came to cause depredation to me and my followers. One of my followers, an uncanny old man from the Amazon, took out a pistol to bestow one of the horde to oblivion. The fools ran from us and we lengthened our stride to make it to the sunset grove.

6th: Muddy Waters Tele.

This is my sixth dialectal journal.

The Fender Muddy Waters Artist Series Telecaster Electric Guitar embodies the classic look and tone of Muddy's Tele and is now available in this new standard production artist model. The essential specs and spirit of Waters' electric guitar are lovingly re-created, and its tone is as big and unique as its namesake's. Features include an ash '50s Tele body, a maple '62 Custom Tele neck with rosewood fretboard, vintage-style machine heads, 2 U.S. special vintage pickups, 3-way switching, and an American Vintage '52 Tele bridge with brass saddles. Like Muddy's guitar, it has 1-10 Fender amp knobs and Muddy's signature engraved on the neckplate.

The man who started it all, from Hendrix to Clapton, Muddy Waters has been an influence on all of them. A renown blues player, even the Rolling Stones are influenced by him, their name is one of his songs, Rollin' Stone. It would be a true honor to touch one of these Mexican made tele's.

5th: Pete Townshend signature J-200

This is my fifth dialectal journal:

Gibson Montana and Townshend have re-created the 1960's J-200 he used to pen such classic hits as 'Pinball Wizard" and 'Won't Get Fooled Again."

A guitar that is truly for the, "Pinball Wizard". The great Pete Townshend who was the guitarist of The Who, a bluesy, physcadelic, rock, and punk of their time, the seventies. This guitar is the dream of many guitarists, such as myself.

4th Joe Perry Signature guitar

This is the fourth of my dialectal journals.

From their earliest days as Boston punks to their present-day status as Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductees, Joe Perry and Aerosmith have endured the test of time and triumphed. Just as Aerosmith's music has evolved, so have Joe's ideas about what his Signature Model should be. The new Joe Perry Model, with its unique Green Tiger finish and "Boneyard" logo is a dramatic departure from the original 1996 Custom Shop model. AAA figured maple top, single-ply cream binding, BurstBucker 2 and 3 pickups (neck has reversed polarity), aged nickel hardware, "Joe Perry" engraved on truss rod cover.

I believe that if one guitarist deserved a line of guitars made after him it would be Joe Perry. Joe Perry is the guitarist for Aerosmith, the hard rock band of 70's until now. This guitar that turned the world of Rock and Roll upside down. This left handed guitarist who plays a right handed guitar has redefined the definition of playing guitar. Truly a great guitarist.



3rd Beowulf Quote

This is a book that we are starting to read, so therefor I grabbed a quote to write on.

QUOTE: He has done his worst but the wound will end him. He is hasped and hooped and hirpling with pain, limping and looped in it. Like a man outlawed .for wickedness, he must await. the mighty judgement of God in majesty.(lines 974-78)

Translations in my own words: He has fought and killed to his best capabillity but his wound will kill him. He has been in pain for a long time. like an outcast. he must wait for the judgement of god.

2nd: Anna Of Byzantium

This is a book that I just finished at this time. This entry is from the page 95 paragraph 2.

"Suffering?" my grandmother laughed. "You call that suffering? Eating a luxurious banquet, wearing silk robes, and having people laugh because she dissapears with her betrothed? If she wants to know what suffering is, she should trying living in a tent with no servants, the way I did when I was planning for Alexius' glorious reentry to the throne.

My return:

I believe that this paragraph is a paragraph showing how corrupt this, "grandmother" truly is. It gives just a taste of the grandmothers intentions and cruelty. This book shows us how to elemently how to discover corrupt people and their intentions. The entire mental chess idea that is brought forth in this book, it has inspired me to learn how to convince those that need convincing in a good manner.

1st: Joe Strummer signature Telecaster

Awright! I'm back from a great summer vacation, I finally turned fifteen and got a beloved Dunlop classic Crybaby effects pedal. It is great but anyway, this is the first of many postings for this year. Good Luck to you all! This is from the Guitar Center web page.

Designed in cooperation with the Strummer estate, the Joe Strummer electric guitar has a highly distressed "road-worn" treatment that duplicates the originals worn-to-the-wood layers of gray auto primer and flat black spray paint. It also features a "Revolution Rock" engraved neckplate and a limited edition art customization kit that includes Strummer-inspired stencils, stickers and graphics by designer Shepard Fairey.

My take on the guitar:

First things first, I have actually played a guitar that was just like it and I thought it to be a remarkable guitar, it was a truly exquisite guitar, The neck of the instrument has a worn spot on it that is not only looks but it is also feeling, before you ask how I will tell you the neck has a worn spot that is actually worn. This axe feels as if it is a vintage instrument anyone who just picked it up would be shocked at the quality of this instrument. It looks as if it is the real deal, the guitar that Joe Strummer actually used and made his own.
