I'm not ignorant.

I just don't care. There's a difference.



I'm not afraid of people immigrating to the US. Infact, I welcome it. I don't like mowing the lawn, I don't like weeding my garden, I don't like cleaning my pool, I don't like washing my clothes, I don't like cleaning my house. Immigrants will do all of that for me.
The more there are, the less unpleasent work there is for me to do.

I'm not ignorant to the fact that a lot of countries speak spanish. I kind of figured that out when it was mandated that we take a foreign language in highschool.

A lot of countries speak english too. By that logic, all mexicans should speak english just like we're expected to learn spanish.

More immigrants=Less work for Americans though and a lot of overcrowding in the schools and in subdivisons.

Janeway 09-27-2006 04:20 PM

Even if we don't have immigration, there is going to be less work because of outsourcing. There isn't a whole lot of difference between doing it in this country and doing it a few hundred thousand miles away.

Overcrowding... It's going to drive more people to rural areas.
Or we'll go underground. We'll probably make the dirty mexicans and n[B]i[/B]ggerss go underground, though. It'll be really convenient for both of us, because we can feed them with our sewer content. They'll have food, and we'll have an easy, convenient way to rid ourselves of waste.

Wow.

I was in one of the music rooms at school today, and I saw that the main teacher there had a coated pinstripe on the snare [B]and[/B] a dampening ring, taped on.

It sounded worse than sh[SIZE="2"]i[/SIZE]t.

Sunshine 09-27-2006 04:32 PM

Damn.

I can't edit things in my FTP file on my own home computer so I have to go back to college tomorrow and hang out in the library all day catching up on homework that he'll check for "this weekend."

How bogus.

On the plus side, breathing no longer hurts and I can reach the top of the steering wheel in my car without immense pain.

Seafroggys 09-27-2006 05:14 PM

Holy crap I just had the biggest impulse buy of my life.

So I took in my mom to work today in downtown portland. Afterwards I was gonna go around looking for job applications. She told me to check out Rhythm Trader, a drum shop where I got my drums as well as several small things over the years. Of course, she fails to realize that the chances of me working there is worse then GC giving good customer service. It a ma and pa type store, the people who work there are drumming vets and at least 30-35.

So I decided to go and try out some ride cymbals, because I need to replace the Wuhan I've had since I bought my set. For over a year and a half I've been looking at a 22" A Ping Ride. I went into Rhythm Traders about a month ago, and they had the first one I've ever physically seen, but it had 6 rivets in it. When I returned today, they still had it. So I played on several rides. I like the 20" Medium Ride, but it was still a tad bit too washy (my Wuhan ride is fairly washy, so the difference would be minute). The 22" Ping Ride was alright, but it was hard to tell what one would really sound like without rivets.

However, the next ride I tried was a 21" Sultan Ride, and it was used, so it was only $199. I liked it, it was damn pingy. So one of the guys came over (same guy who sold me my set, he's probably my favorite music shop person ever, and his name is Sarge) and I asked him about the rivets. He just told me I could take them out, and it'll sound the same as it would without holes. Now I trust his word more then most peoples, so I went with it. He played both the Sultan and the Ping Ride while I stood several feet back. Boy, the Sultan Ride was damn clangy, I didn't like it from a distance. However, even with the rivets, the Ping Ride sounded awesome.

He took the Ping Ride to a set in the back so I could try it out. He taped down the rivets so it removed some, but not all of the rivetness. I rocked out for about 10 minutes, and I was liking it more and more. He came back in, told me I really had a great jam and me, asked me how long I played, etc. I told him I only came to look, but now I actually wanted to buy.

I whipped out my debit card, got the ride. Since I just bought a $270 cymbal, I didn't want to go job hunting and leave it in the car, so I went straight home. I spent an hour getting the rivets out; I didn't have a tool to cut the rivets, so I had to pry the thing that holds it on underneath in on itself, so I can force it through the hole. I finally managed, I put the ride cymbal on my set, and I played.

And I came.

I love this cymbal to death.

Review in the Equipment section soon.

MatthewMeredith 09-27-2006 05:26 PM

That had to be one of the most interesting posts I've ever read on MX. Thank you.

Ok so I've found out that I have to submit lessons if I want to write one, but who do I submit it to?????

MeaninglessPhoto 09-27-2006 05:34 PM

Awesome Froggys. The Ping ride is a great ride. I have an older model 22" Ping and I love it.

White Riot, the word Smeg Head was stuck in my head today. Usually I have a song, or a beat that's stuck in my head. But no the word Smeg Head kept repeating through my head over and over again. Same with that picture. Wtf?

Janeway 09-27-2006 05:44 PM

You realize that I wasn't being serious?

And that you probably shouldn't take the majority of sh[B]i[/B]t said on the internet even remotely seriously? And that reading is OPTIONAL. It's easy.
Simply refrain from scanning over a sentence and comprehending it.

Try it. It's easy.

MatthewMeredith 09-27-2006 05:49 PM

Someone answer me, PLEASE!!!!

If no one helps me, you all will never get the priveledge of accessing my knowledge...

So anyways, how do I get a lesson posted? Should I just post it on the D&P mainpage and hope Damo moves it to the lesson page?

Its from Red Dwarf. Smeg is a futuristic swearword. The character from the avatar is Arnold Rimmer , he is a dead hologram. The show is a british sci-fi comedy and probably one of the best comedies ever made (like most bristish comdies)

dont do that, she'll neg rep you! :rolleyes:

Janeway 09-27-2006 05:54 PM

I'm sorry. Do you know what the word optional means?

op·tion·al (opsh-a-null)
adj.

Left to choice; not compulsory or automatic.



But, oh. Textual vomit. I'll take that one to heart and ram my face into band saw.



Wait, no I won't.

I always assumed "Smeg Head" was referring to smegma. Look it up in the dictionary. :lol:

You are correct. In the show they use the word as a general swear word.

Smeg
Smeg off
Smeghead
Smeg ups
Better dead than smeg


its just a general jousty good humoured swearword

Stickman Sam 09-27-2006 07:38 PM

Recorded again today =) Did some noodling too, which can be found in my G+M post if anyone wants to check it out.

I think the first time I came was actually with my girlfriend at the time, so I guess I wasn't paying attention to how far.

I'm going to be branded weird now, aren't I.

My drums sound sexy. I've always had clear heads, but I decided to try some coated g1's yesterday. Tuned them up, they sound so much better than they did before.
