Well it's nothing to write home about, but when Alex used to work for a few different car audio companies, I got to see what goes on behind the scenes and hang out with some big names in car audio, including one of the founding fathers of the hobby. This was also my first big break as far as doing some ads to get my porfolio for my graphic design career going. I did a few ads for one of the companies Alex worked for. That's about it as far as the not so normal cool stuff goes.

I married Spec2 :) :) :) :)

Achieving a Shodan in Chidokan Karate :) Time to get back into some form of martial arts, I think.
Seeing Star Wars ep. 4 so many times I can't count them any more :geek: :geek: :geek:
Re-wiring all my electric guitars to make them do what I want. :cool:
Actually re-shaping and improving the look of one of my guitars. :cool:
