happy birthday!

yes please

i think that part of the story has been taken out...maybe it was rumour.

i haven't seen any of his movies, except the patriot, which i hated, but that's really sad. has a 2 yr old apparently he was in mary kate olsens apt.

i guess you meant '92??

yep.

LOL...just found this, it came up on urbandictionary while i was looking for a pic: 1. Weirs A pair of very short shorts worn by a male in the style of Grateful Dead guitarist Bobby Weir. Preferably with "Ranger Rick" style pockets on the side, but plain khaki will suffice. Normally attired during the summer months and accompanied with a tank top. Friend 1: Hey dude, check out these new shorts. Good thing I have tan thighs. Friend 2: Totally, sweet pair of weirs!

congrats!

^^ good idea!

LOL :thumbup:

happy birthday

congratulations!

great, will try it out for sure!

bwah!!!

character zero

but at least you know that someone else besides you is in favour of forums, lol

i'll give you a break on that one today hehe

LOVE days between, i counted myself lucky when i got to see that one. so pretty during my show going years, samba was definitely one i could do without. someone's choice of picasso moon resonated as well though. also i got sick of i fought the law.

me too i forgot to post a pic of the equinox at chichen itza (i found on the web) to give an example of the mayans design of the building. at the bottom of the steps (lower left) there are snakes heads of stone. on the equinox, the sun shines through the upper window and casts light along the side of the steps, one by one. it gives the impression that the snake is crawling down to the earth! neat. any skanks heading to a sunny place for a winter break this year?

maybe people want their own threads for specific trips...in which case this will just be my own personal travel thread but feel free to add and share if you want! and yes, i DO miss the travel forum i thought i'd share a few pics of my trip to mexico last week. i've been to mexico lots of times, but this was my first time to the yucatan. it is so much different than west and central mexico to me, in that it is so lush and jungly, not dry and dusty! the hotel in cancun was nice, delicious food, prettiest water colour ever! i went diving at a site SW of isla mujeres, which is just offshore from cancun. the corals and schools of fish were so colourful. didn't see any really crazy creatures though. went back to the island to check it out another day. "woman" ilsand used to be a sacred place for mayan women to go (fertility rites?) but everything was completely destroyed by the spanish when they arrived. now the small island is touristy with a nice swimming beach and lots of little shops selling junk and souvenirs. it was a quaint place though, i enjoyed walking around looking at the mexican houses. i really wanted to see some mayan ruins, and decided on chichen itza, although tulum was closer and on the sea. it was a 2.5 hr bus ride to the site of chichen itza. first we visited the main ball court, where matches were played 4 times per year (there were many smaller ball courts). i should say that in all the buildings, windows were positioned to let light in according to the sun calendar, which would shine light in certain ways...as you know the mayans were expert astronomists. the buildings themselves were not ornate or carved in detail, pretty basic. still very impressive! the ball game was a mix of soccer and handball i believe. you couldn't hold the ball. the object was to get it through the ring. the winning scorer had the honour of being decapitated...nice. this is the ring on one side of the field the big pyramid, different views...there is actually a whole other intact pyramid INSIDE this one, with the original colours and artwork. we can't go in there though this is thought to have been a palace the observatory..notice the door is off centre, but it's that way in order to be angled towards the sun for a certain reason/day. it's called the 'caracol' cuz it looks like a snail. we also visited a cenote, an underground well, and went swimming in it. it was so cool and refreshing, and the water was drinkable! very cool.

coooooool

i understand, that's cool. i don't have the savvy to be messing around with websitey stuff here anyway, if i was able/set up for it. so, i was now thinking of just making a thread called "Music Pics" in here, then people could add a photo (hosted elsewhere) if they took a photo at a show, that way all the photos could be in one place rather than in a million different threads. which is the idea of the photo forum, i think! if there was a forum for music pics that we could post in, i know i'd use it. i guess it amounts to almost the same thing as if i make a "Music Pics" thread here, except it's more visible (or maybe it isn't (?)...i know some people don't like visiting other forums, only this one). i don't know how hard or time-consuming it is for you to make a new forum, so either way is OK with me. thanks

yes, they were answered, and i thanked you. nevermind means i guess it's too much of a hassle for me to get my photos in the photo forum so i'll just continue posting them in this forum.
