[QUOTE=fishbulb]And i'm even smaller than zildjian!![/QUOTE]

This forum is really going slow today, and its not my comp this time i think

I'm back from the friggen dentist, and I'm determined to find a female dentist when I switch up from a pediatrition.He had my head squeezed against his fricken' chest.I'm almost postitive I felt his nipple brush against my ear.
Ugh.


I couldn't sleep, either.
I never can. It takes me 45 minutes to an hour to even start to fall asleep.
I usually end up getting so frustrated that I quit trying and go listen to music/watch tv/get back on the computer until 4 am when I'm forced back into bed by my mother.
Gr.

....MX...wtf?

Yeah, you know there's a problem when the Stronghold doesn't move a single page for two days.

I reinstalled windows. Now my sound doesn't work. I get a copy error from the Intel Install disc (OB MB Sound). Lame.


How do you Brush?!

I suck at brushes.

Oh, so the forums don't just hate me, they hate everyone else too?

That makes me feel much better.

This is the first time I've gotten INTO the stronghold since I got back from the Tour.

I like brushes.

I don't like brushes, I don't have enough hair for them.

I just use combs now.

...oh wait.

anybody watching the new Rockstar show, with the new group Supernova?

Pretty good so far, best performances were Pinball Wizard, Knocking on Heaven's Door, Somebody to Love, and Piece of my Heart.

What do you think of the group itself? It should be interesting. I don't see them as being especially great, but it'll be interesting to hear their stuff.

I found a list of "Toolish" bands compiled by some random metalhead. This has brought me to listen to a couple of bands called Earshot and Dredg.

I'm slightly dissapointed. I'm listening to Earshot - Get Away, and the singer sounds like Maynard James Keenan, the guitars are similar to APC, the drumming is LAME! EVEN I could do a better job with this track.

The opening reminded me of the opening guitars on Orestes, Blue, or Brena. Deep and haunting, perfect. But this guy on the kit? What does he do? Thumps out quarters on his bass drum... Come on.. What a retard.

MX you're killing me!

Haha I'm like taking this so hard! I wanna browse drums so bad lately, and MX has been down for what seems like a year.

Just by chance it worked right now.

Do any of you know where i can get a copy of Modern Drummer in the UK?

Im after the most recent copy (with Stewart Copland on the front), as it has Brian Viglione in it. Im london based if it helps, but i would rather get from the internet (Im just after that one copy).

Dammit. New Breed is so damn hard! >_<

[QUOTE=British Boy]I picked up a copy of Modern Drummer from the WH Smith in Manchester.[/QUOTE]

That is the other end of the country. The only place i know is Lakeside, in Essex, but that is mission's. Or I have to spend £10 to travel into london (in far to lazy to drive to a underground station), and look around there.

You know any websites?

Wtf? Has there been anyone info on whats happening?

its soooo fast...

Got my first paycheck yesterday. $190 USD after taxes.

So did I, only I got $77. Mine was only for like 2 1/2 days' work though.

Whoo, finally got a metronome.

Not the hardcore one everybody was suggesting, but it'll do well enough.

Korg MA-30. It's all I really need in life, far as metronomes go.

Hahaha, today at the music "emporium," which has virtually nothing, I saw the 5 or 6 cymbals they actually have to sell.

There was this ride, and it was the nastiest sounding thing I've ever heard. Can rides be out of tune? Because this one...ew =/

All of the cymbals were made by "Peace"...wth is that?

Finally back. Took them long enough.

Just wait a few minutes, it'll probably go down again.

You called that one. Went down for half an hour or so.

So i'm looking for a snare drum stand, DW 5300? Or should i look into PDP?

hey its working again for like 3 more minutes!

im good, bored stiff tho...

currently making minibombs out of lighters and such

Good stuff. I made a dry ice bomb last week. Pretty loud.

Oh yeah, my friends got wasted last week. And this was on Friday which was 4 days ago?

Wow, yesterday was crazy. I went to my friends house at 11:00 AM, and we hung out until we had to pick up his little brother from summer school. My friend cannot legally take any friends, so we couldn't let either of our parents know that i went with him. So we went to pick him up then we went to a fast food place. I thought my friend's phone was ringing, but it was actually mine but i didn't notice that it was mine because i always have it on vibrate and i only switched it to a ringtone because i wanted to try it. So by the time i get my phone out it stops ringing. It was my mom who called so i called her back but it was busy. So i can't get ahold of her. Then my friend's phone rings and it was his mom asking if i was with him. So my mom called his mom. This whole time the phone was still busy so i can't get ahold of her. Then we get back on the road after we finish eating and right as we stop she calls me. I say that i'm out with my other friend at taco bell (half a mile from my house). The friend i was talking about was supposed to go to Germany sometime this summer, but i don't know when. So i just hoped that my mom didn't call his mom. It was crazy. But in the end it was all good.

Then, that same night, my friends (one who drove to pick up his brother and some othe rpeople) and i got some vodka at 11:00 PM. I had a class today so i couldn't drink any of it (turns out to be a very good thing) We thought that his mom was going to be home in 40 minutes, so we didn't have much time. Once we finished half of it we put it away and all of them were drunk. So nobody would sit down, i had to find a good place to hide the vodka, and they were knocking tons of stuff down off the shelves. My brother made me go home because he didn't want me to get in trouble and i needed to go to bed. So i got home at 12:20 and their mom still wasn't home. I couldn't falla sleep because i was thinking about them too much and it had to have been 1:30 before i went to bed and i had to get up at 7:00 today. Their mom never came home when they were awake and they went to bed at 2:00. My brother (he does hang out with me and our friends) went home (3 houses down from our friends) and since he was slightly drunk, he didn't want my brother and his friends to know (they were in the living room watching a movie) and apparently he stood up leaning against this wall watching the movie for 45 minutes but he didn't notice that he was doing that. So when he went to leave he couldn't walk in a straight line and hoped that no one could notice. So nothing happened, it's all cool and his mom didn't find out.

Now, last night was 3 times crazier than that night. So my friend's mom left at 6:00 and she was going to be home after 12:00. We decided not to get drunk because two nights in a row isn't a good idea. So we just hung out playing with the dry ice that we bought. Then we decided to go bowling in a city that's 15 miles from our house so it's a waste of gas to go there. We brought the vodka, and two more people that the car can handle. So if we got pulled over we were ****ed. Luckily, we just had to drop one of the people off, so it wasn't that big of a deal. We still had six, though. Once we got to the bowling alley two of the people stayed in the car to get drunk. This one kid had two full cups of vodka which was about 12 shots. We went into the bowling alley and it was $14 a person which is so ****ing expensive especially if it's 6 people to a lane. so we didn't go bowling but we hung in the arcade with two drunk people playing DDR. Then we went to the car to go home. The guy with 12 shots was rambling on about a christmas party or something stupid and when we got back we went to the park which is less than a football field away from my house. We were trying to keep them kind of quiet so the neighbors wouldn't wake up. Then a cop rolls by us and the two drunk people freak out so they get up and we're trying to calm them down while trying not to look suspicious. So once he passed the slightly drunk guy made us lie down behind this wall in case he came back. Just as we were going to get up the really drunk guy starts gurgling and throwing up. So he was lying on his stomach we had to flip him on his side and keep his head up so he wouldn't drown. We took him home and put him next to the toilet. He was on his knees with his head really close to the toilet for 20 minutes or so. I seriously think that he fell asleep. So it was almost 12:00 and we had to get him upstairs to where he was going to sleep before his mom gets home. So we have this security camera that connects to the tv so we can see if a car is pulling up or something like that. Somebody has to keep watching that in case we have to book it and move spencer really fast. Since he was so out of it he couldn't stand up and he kept passing out anyway we had to pick him up and carry up him two flights of stairs. We got him half way and since he didn't feel the comfort of having a toilet under him he felt like he had to puke. We put this bucket under him and he starts sliding down the stairs. Nobody could grab ahold of him because he was so goddamn sweaty. All in one move, we carried him up and put him in this little bed with a fan next to his head. My friend, brother and i went to hang on the couch and watch the security camera as the other two people were hanging with the passed out kid. We took pictures of people moving his eye lids open and opening his mouth so he'll laugh when he gets up this morning. I went to bed hoping that their mom didn't think that having a guy sleeping that was really hot with a fan next to his head and a bucket. So, i will come back with another follow up and probably another crazy story.

Sorry for the long ****ing *** read, but i just had to get that off of my chest.

you got it off your chest like 3 or 4 days ago...
