Full Metal Jacket

The ear splitting sound of my guitar shook the house off the ground. I was a normal teenager with a strong passion for music. My friends and I were in our own band. I loved music and was especially fond of my tattered electric guitar. The basement was our stage and our parents were the fans. Although the band was not the best, we were all very passionate. Our band was either always in the compact basement practicing together, or hanging out at the music store. One day at school my eyes were…

When looking through the history of the guitar, it’s impossible to deny the impact that Gibson has had on the instrument. Gibson is a prestigious brand with humble roots.

We all can nod in agreement that the English people play an integral part in keeping the general music industry on its most creative version. The music planet is dotted with lyricists, singers, groups and people behind the stage that have come from the United Kingdom. With the English races' capability to turn heartbreak into a worldwide hit, their instruments playing heavenly sounds and their undying passion to reach for what they wanted, they are truly admirable as performers. It was in 2006…

On March 26th, I attended a concert at Sidewinder in Austin, Texas. The venue hosted three bands: The Sweethearts, Two Tens, and The Dollyrots. All three were female-fronted punk rock bands, but The Sweethearts were the only band that was local. The other two were on tour with each other. All three of the bands knew each other and have played together at other venues frequently. This event held indoors. Sidewinder’s interior is set up as an open bar. When you walk in the bar is to the right,…

It was hotter than a fresh lit fire outside and it was even worse on the field. I could see the heat waves rise up from the boiling turf field. I knew that I was about to go through the underworld and back. We were in full pads so this made the heat ten times worse. We had to tackle at the very beginning. The popping of the pads sound like two cars in a head on collision. Now that we started moving the sweat began to flow like the Mississippi River down everyone's backs…

With the barrel of a loaded gun between my teeth and the taste of steel on my tongue, I looked up at the ceiling of my room with uncertainty. Maybe I hoped a miracle would shoot down, maybe it stood as my last effort in trying to convince myself that this wasn't the answer. Nothing came. Nothing tried to stop me. A debilitating reassurance that the cruelty I'd grown accustomed to, knew no mercy. My finger rest on the trigger. Only a click away. I applied the needed pressure to send me away from…

“Catch that little beast!” a shop owner shouted through a large crowd. “It’s gettin’ way with meh jewels!” Women shrieked as they felt something fluffy run under their skirts, and men wobbled back and forth to avoid the small mutt that ran through the mess of people. In its fluffy tan tail it held jewel encrusted necklaces and rings. “Ha! Catch me if you can old man!” the zombie dog barked, even if no one understood. “Damn you Sailor!” The shop owner gave chase as far as he could until he…

Bluestone hearths are generally cleaned using warm water and dish soap or another pH-neutral cleanser. Bluestone, however, is a vague term that has different meanings in different places. In the United States, the terms bluestone and bluestone slate typically refer to two different types of stone. One, known as Pennsylvania bluestone, is a type of sandstone taken from quarries in New York and Pennsylvania. The other, known as Shenandoah bluestone, is a limestone found in Virginia's Shenandoah…
