Specially Ordered
(Originally posted on the website Continuum…)
My specially ordered toms finally came in. Yeah, I’m happy! Now my kit consists of 10 drums, including the roto toms, a 14″ Sabian thin crash, a 16″ Zildjian ZXT medium crash, a 20″ Zildjian ZXT medium ride, 14″ Zildjian ZXT hi-hats, and a 16″ super trashy sounding Wuhan China cymbal. It all looks great. It plays great. It just feels right.
My plan is to spend a few months getting back into shape. Then I hope to hook up with some serious musicians and do some serious playing.

Here’s an eye update…
Today my eye is back to looking about the same as the picture below from June 4. But look how bad it was yesterday! I could just barely open it.
“Hello? I won’t be in to work today due to a malignant, flesh-consuming eye disease.”

EWWWWWWW!! Look at my eye!
I accidentally winked at an ugly girl and it got all infected!

Makes ya wanna run right out and buy a couple packs of Jimmy Dean sausage, don’t it?

Something to Think About

Something to think about…
In regard to the US government’s and big corporations’ influence/control on the media, Norman Solomon (Executive Director, Institute for Public Accuracy) said the following:
“In theory, everyone in the United States has freedom to speak his or her mind. Freedom to be heard is another matter.” (“Target Iraq: What the News Media Didn’t Tell You”, 2003, Context Books)
A lot of voices with various view points are not heard because they don’t line up with the interests of those who control the major media outlets. We have freedom of speech here and our news is not censored. However, many facts are conveniently left out, ignored, changed over time. So what we do hear often has such a spin on it. It’s been sanitized and made to fit in with the agendas of those in control of the outlets. It’s hard to believe anything anymore. Freedom of speech does not mean the same thing today as it did when this country was founded.
