I went through a very similar thing with my father when I was 16 (which was when you were about 2-3 years old. Giving away my age here. :eek:). I was lucky that my step dad was an awesome person. Having him kept me from being so disappointed that my father really was the jerk everyone said he was. I haven't had any contract with him since I was 25 because we're like water and oil. No regrets though. I'm just glad I had the opportunity to form my own opinion. Now, as a father myself with children really close to your age, I can honestly say that I hope it all works out for you and I think it's admirable that you sought him out not really knowing what you'd find. That takes guts. Good for you. :thumbup:

I know a couple of you guys have talked about computer before.. here is my first work in progress. Just getting started in the next week or so.

http://pcpartpicker.com/p/2QBKk

Case will be a NZXT Phantom 530 I'm getting from my little bro. Might upgrade the gpu to either a MSI r7870 hawk or Asus Matrix r9 280. Both my brothers already have their own builds and want me to buy them.. just depends how much I wanna shell out lol.

I played percussion in band and was in the drumline all years of highschool, and a little into college. Still play drums for my church too, actually. Does that count? lol.

But to answer the question, it's a combination of a few different brass instruments. Trumpets, trombones, tubas, etc. Blend really well with all their harmonies to make that tone. Would say the primary instrument is probably the trumpets though.
[Off-topic] zomgjosho:
I played a ton of brass in high school.

Switched between trumpet and electric bass for jazz band, played baritone, trumpet, and mellophone for marching band, and french horn for concert.

After reading and searching..i'm going with Linux mint 16 cinnamon. Looks easy and interesting. Once I get the gist of all that it has to offer I might try a little of everything else from linux.

Computers..ehhhh...need to read and learn alot more. Thanks for all the helpful info all of you!
[Off-topic] epapsiou:
Remember that mint 16 does not have long term support. If you plan not to upgrade every year stick with mint 13. Upgrading mint is not like Ubuntu. You have to reinstall (in android speak Ubuntu can be dirty flashed but mint recommends clean flashing). You can get around it by having a separate home partition but that gets complicated. My 2 cents.

Yeah..I read that before I installed it. But...looking forward to mint 17..I read it will have long term support. Will see soon enough.

[Off-topic] mindmajick:
Mohans work is above and beyond anything I've ever seen with a stock ROM.

I also didn't like the way the note 3 was locked down so.... I got the note 2 instead. Lol... I can also run the ditto note 3 ROM e have which gives you all of the note3 features.

The g2 is a nice device though but I think my next phone will be an HTC. Meh.. Who knows though- I only upgrade every two years or so anyway.

It's a shame mohan leapfrogged to the note3 though. Would love embryo on note 2.

[Off-topic] epapsiou:
Right and I am on ATT grandfathered plan too. The only reason I was curious is ATT does not offer N5 so I got G2 for $0 (and no not NEXT) through a promotion few weeks ago. I did extend my contract (which is a grandfathered plan with 20% corp discount). So by getting N5 aren't we spending $350 extra? or am I missing something?
[Off-topic] car vs driver:
They are different devices ... but I see your point, they are close enough that you could probably make that comparison. So, yes you could get the G2 for $99 on 2 year contract. Or, if you're like me and hate contracts, the $399 for the Nexus 5 is totally worth it.

Not to mention that you don't have to deal with AT&T for Android updates and other bloatware crap they load up on the stock ROM. Let's face it, not all aftermarket ROMs work well on all devices - sometimes it's good to be stock, or be supported directly by Google. That's worth the price of entry alone IMHO.
[Off-topic] mindmajick:
Unfortunately very true. I love my note2 but AOSP based roms just don't do the device any justice. Car dock doesn't work, audio not as good, screen not as clear and battery life, compared to stock, blows.

When I had my rocket AOSP was the ONLY way to go. Next device I get well definitely be an AOSP based device. No more having to hack crap together to get it to work right. Of course... I might be bored with it pretty quickly if there's no challenge lol
