I don't know how many of you have read or are familiar with Charles Dickens Great Expectations (The South Park version doesn't count).  The story of Pip, a blacksmith's apprentice, who preformed a Samaritan deed to a complete stranger and it changed his course and status in life forever.  There are many themes and undertones in the book that reflect on Dickens time and today.  My focus is my "Great Expectations," but more like what happens if they don't pan out.  I'm out of the Army in the spring and I plan on going to college, but if an unknown calamity strikes the Earth or Hell freezes over and I can't attend...These are my backup/rock bottom plans...

Air Guitar World Champion en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_guitar

In a world of Rock Band and Guitar Hero, anybody and everybody can become a rock star and follow in the fantasy footsteps of the greats Metallica, Aerosmith, Beetles etc.  With these games the competition is getting stiff to become an Air Guitar Great (, with any Joe Shmoe thinking they are up to the task.  With grand prizes as high as $50,000 on the international stage, this will most likely increase with the popularity of music games and people living in their parents basements looking for some easy cash....hhhhmmm run around in spandex for 2-3 minutes pretending to jam like the greats...have a look for yourself...it's ok if you cry...
