Authorities said.....best leave it.....unsolved
So, I wasn't really looking for another guitar (or amp). I was actually casually scrolling through the new posts on the forum one night, a couple of weeks back, and feeling great. Low and behold, I see that Les has quoted me in a thread. I check out said thread and find out that he called me "OLD"!
"Well, being 2 in 1969 still means you're pushin' fifty, so in rock and roll terms you're past it. Like me. Once you're past it, you're past it."
I was crushed! How could this happen? I'm old!?! WTF?! I didn't really know how to take this news. I felt the emotions flooding through me like I've never experienced before. I seriously couldn't figure out what was wrong with me.
Thankfully, I glean quite a bit of knowledge from the motley crew on this forum. It was actually something that Sergio posted that finally offered a reason behind the feelings that were coursing through my body.
"I was reading an article awhile back that said men go through mini hormonal cycles everyday rather than every 28 days. It's supposedly later in the evening and earlier in the morning that these imbalances are at their greatest... So looking at what time I posted my response I suppose I was man-struating pretty hard!"
So, I finally have an idea of what's causing the emotional roller coaster I've been on. Somehow though, it seems worse. I still wasn't able to figure it out! Suddenly, it dawned on me. I'm old, and I have these feelings of man-struation. Then, light bulb moment.... I'm in man-o-pause! That explains everything! The shakes, the night sweats, the odd feelings. Still, there's something more. I feel like I need some immediate psychological gratification. Chocolate? None in the house. Wine? Nope, not a wine drinker. I do the last thing I can think of to quell my feelings....SHOPPING! Oh my god, I'm starting to feel so much better! This is the best "medication" ever!
But wait, I have this nagging feeling that something's still not right. I'm missing something. Suddenly, I recall a post by DreamTheaterRules.
"Well Les, you just got a new guitar and everyone knows that you need a new amp to go with that. Geez, you've been around. You should know this by now."
As I said, I've learned a lot in the past year on this forum. Can't believe I almost forgot this rule! Good thing it's easily rectified with a couple more clicks of the handy mouse (and a conveniently paid off credit card).
So, the results of my "self-medication"....2015 P245 Semi Hollow in Trampas Green, and an HXDA 30 Combo. I feel so much better now!
She sounds sweet, and the HXDA is EVERYTHING that people say it is. I couldn't be happier with this pair. The only downside is I had to make room for the HXDA, so the Archon 25 will have to find a new home.
