Arts & Humanities - 27 December 2007

How do I get better at improvising solos on guitar? I know the pentatonic scale inside and out. I know all the different forms of them across the fret board. I am lightning quick running up and down the scale. I only know about 3 licks but I've mastered them.

My solos always sound the same because I use the same licks and I just go up and down the scale. I also always tend to stay in the same key also, which makes it quite lame.

How can I spice up my solos? I have a fender G-dec amp and it can play bass and drum lines while you freestyle. I just want to be able to practice some good soloing techniques.

And The Stars Were Just...


Too high tonight...
My telescope never
Brought them within
Reach....

Why should I wish to
Reach out...
And, with one
Tiny finger,

Give them a gift of
The Earth...?
How silly of me on
This Night....

This Earth was their
Gift...
To us.

So the story is a FanFiction about twins Bill and Tom Kaulitz of the German rock band Tokio hotel.
I just need a meaningful title, preferably two very strong words, or two words that go well together.
It needs to describe pain, love, twincest, forbidden love, or the relationship between twins.
Some good titles that are in use are:
Mirror Image
Sugar Pain
Paper Mache
and that's about all i can think of as of now.
And i would also like some ideas. Like how should they fall for each other?
They are celebrities, so it woudld be hard hiding their love.
Do you have any romantic ideas on how they could realize that their love is much stronger than they thought ? Or just any romantic ideas for a love story?
I'l appreciate any type of help ^_^
Most helpful person get's 10 points!!

I sort of feel like messing with some philosopher's heads here a bit but:

Some believe that the only purpose for us to be here is to procreate (make babies to keep making more, generations, etc), but if that's the only reason for the existence of humans, it basically 'disproves itself' so to speak.

Why would a bug exist in the middle of the forest where most don't see them, to just procreate more bugs.....??? It's pointless! No, the reason is that there are other human beings who are here to grow and reach wholeness just like you and me. We help each other grow and learn about ourselves. I have no intention of debating this, which I find hysterical if you do. It's like disproving gravity! Anyway... I just had to post this....

I am really interested in photography,
and am wanting an upgrade on my camera.
I currently have the Kodak P850.
My budget is Under $250.
I want a really nice camera that I could get for that price.
I just bought the Canon S3 IS for under that amount.
Was this a mistake? Is there a better camera I could get for that price?

I tried looking for an ancestor, but all I found was the social security information about him, and nothing about his parents, siblings, etc. How do I access this information?

I look completely different in photos than in real life, different for the worse. My nose always appears longer and my face looks flatter.

Why do some people look different in a photograph?

The media says that people are reading less and less for pleasure, so I want to know if that is true.

I think it is not, as everyone's perspective of the world is subjective because everyone has unique experiences.
Realism is an idealistic idea, so by saying your a realist,and, therefore, admitting you have succumbed to such an ideal, you are proving you are not a realist.
I would love to hear your opinions of this concept. Thank you for reading this.
