| I shouldn't. I have Crohn's Disease. Wouldn't be very good for me. But I've already been to Thailand and Mexico before I was diagnosed, and those trips were fun.

The difference in my guitar's sound is so wickedly improved that I no longer feel the need to buy a new amp or pedals or even strings...EVER!
So, it's my belief that tone is in the soap.
Thank you and goodnight. | |

| Not only travelling for a few weeks but actually living in a different country is probably the most worthwhile and amazing thing I have ever done. |

| Well, ok, I'll go to Germany for a year.
Wait, I was planning on doing that anyway.

| I lived in a foreign country for 12 years. I'm tired of that and I like America very much. Of course, I'm going to college in Canada, but...that doesn't count.
