What should I do about my guitar?
I have a squire strat starter pack and don' like it that much anymore. It just doesn't seem to want to play hard rock or metal. Should i buy a new guitar (what kind)? Should I get a new amp? should i get a distortion pedal or multi-effects thing? i am on a tight budge of like 0 to 200$. please help me.
The nice thing about the cheap Squires is that you can easily upgrade them. Since they're generally built to Fender's original specs, most Fender-compatible parts will fit.
Remember, it's you doing the playing, not the guitar. The first thing you should examine is the guitar's set up. Is is set up properly for your ability? Is the action correct or too high? Is the intonation right? Maybe a lighter set of strings? Google "guitar setup" for advice.
Before you go spending a lot of cash, go to a local shop and try out a few amps or effect pedals. See if there's any improvement.
if you decided to sell the Squire, there are a couple of places you can find some imported guitars in various styles (Strat, Tele, LP, hollow, etc) at a range of prices. I recommend you look at Rondo:

The owner, Kurt, has great customer service, stands behind everything, and his line of guitars are a great value for a low price. The SX and Agile brands are particularly good.

Easy Six Pack Abs-Tips For Easy Workout
There are some easy abdominal exercises that you can do even at home. Here are some exercises that can easily be done:
• Crunches
Almost all people know how to do this. This exercise targets the upper abdomen. It's one of the basic but effective exercises. To perform crunches, you need to lie on a flat surface with your hands in your chest or behind you head. Contract your abs, then hold for 2 seconds, then return to your lying position. Proper crunches are in a continuous and controlled fashion. Concentrate on your abdominal muscles to pull your upper body up. Avoid using the neck or shoulders to push yourself up. This incorrect practice will cause stress and strains.
• Side Crunches
They are basically the same as regular crunches, except that the main focus is on the oblique muscles which are also called love handles. It also uses the same technique, only that you are crunching to either side of our abs. This would burn the sides of your abs.
• Lying Leg Lifts
This exercise targets the lower abs. with this kind of exercise, you are on the same position as with the crunches, you lie flat on your back and lift your legs six to twelve inches of the ground. This would exercise the muscles in the lower part of the abdomen. When performing leg lifts, place your hand under your buttock. It adds leverage and helps you get your feet elevated.
If you want to add more weight into the exercise, attach padded weights into your ankles. These weights can be purchased at the local sports store. If you do not want to buy weights, you can simply fill up old tube socks with enough clean, unused cat litter to make one or two pound weight.
• V- Crunches
It's almost like lying leg lifts except your chest is at a 45 degree angle starting out. Sit at the edge of a bench and reach back just enough to support yourself from completely lying on the bench. Once you've stabilized, bring your knees toward your chest. You would be creating a V motion. The base of the V would be your abs.
• Cat stretch
It's the same with the movements made by a cat when they stretch their back. This simple action is a quick and easy exercise. Get down on the floor with your hands and knees, with muscles relaxed and looking straight ahead. Next, tighten your abdominal muscles while thrusting you back upward as far as you can. Maintain the position for five counts before lowering your back.
• Bicycle Crunch
To do this, start y lying flat on the floor. Put your hand beside your head then raise knees up to 45 degrees angle and them perform a pedaling motion like what you do when you ride the bicycle.
• Standing Side Bends
Standing side bends encourages the loss of fats in the oblique muscles. To start, stand up straight with the stomach sucked in, legs straight and hands on the sides. Simply lean the body from left to right being careful not to rotate the hips and while keeping body facing front. There is a variety of side bends, this is the torso twists. Instead of bending side to side twist or rotate the upper body from left to right while keeping the legs straight.
You can remove your flabby stomach and replace it with six pack abs, as long as you have disciplined and of course the will to do so.
