I just played a gig in the Durham Gala Theater with the Durham County Big Band, and also with this man:

That's Steve Waterman. He's one of the best trumpet players in the world apparently..

[quote=Aaron]sup guys? Jo, i've decided on beechies for my next kit. thought you'd like to know ;)[/quote]

Awesome! I'mglad to hear that. Great drums to play and have. I love how because so few people have them, people really catch the sound cause it's a lil different.

Wow, i did a LOT yesterday. My friend went to go pick up some surfboards at his dad's house and he said that he passed by a garage sale selling pearl set for $150. He didn't know what type it was, but he was going to buy it but he didn't have enough money at the time. Then when he went by it when he did have money somebody was loading it into the back of his van. Then I went to the beach, not too exciting, but fun. Then my friends and i made a beer bong but we only used soda because we didn't have any booze. Then i went bowling and made rootbeer floats. Fun stuff.

I hate floats..
But sounds fun...

I need serious imput on this...
The Ppd FXR on Musician Friend is all the way down at 399.00$ (It's started at 600.00$) witch is 443.00$ in Canadian currency. And I think Shipping is free...Because It's over 300.00$ But I have to add 9.99$ because It's shipping to Canada...
Is this a good deal?

Janeway 06-11-2006 11:47 AM

I'm writing my health final.
About meditation.

Boring.

Sunshine 06-11-2006 11:50 AM

Mention how if you meditate hard enough, you can float.

And work the word "hardcore" into it.

I dunno, that always cheers me up when I have to take boring tests =/

Berk 06-11-2006 11:55 AM

xcrazyxhardcorexmeditationxcrazyx.

Sunshine 06-11-2006 11:57 AM

It doesn't work outside of test-taking.

My mom's still mad at me for actually writing "hardcore" into a legitamate sentence on the SAT.

Seems good, but i know nothing about pdp's lines.

Janeway 06-11-2006 11:58 AM

I think I might do that float thing.

"Finally, the most superlative benefit of meditation, is that once a hardcore concentration is attained, the ability to float is accomplished."

Sunshine 06-11-2006 12:01 PM

Hahaha.

If I was a teacher, I'd have to pass the student who wrote that. But then, perhaps I'm just slightly biased.

Ignore the crappy drawing, i have no talent at it. But thats basically what my tattoos gonna look like

Josiah 06-11-2006 12:09 PM

Interesting.. there is a guy down the street with that nearly identical thing as an arm band. Wrapped around his arm with the flames going up that is..

Sunshine 06-11-2006 12:11 PM

Make sure you get all the white space filled in with white ink.

'Cause otherwise the lines are going to blur and you'll have a big shapeless blob on your arm.

I mean, eventually you probably will anyway, but having the white to hold the color in place makes the general picture last longer.

Janeway 06-11-2006 12:12 PM

The flames made me giggle.

haha! Nice. that's almost as good as my deer story.

Sunshine 06-11-2006 12:17 PM

See.

Things like that always make essays better.

Janeway 06-11-2006 12:20 PM

I want to do something like the deer story, but I'm too afraid to fail.

But now I'm fighting the urge to use hardcore more than once.
o.<

Sunshine 06-11-2006 12:21 PM

Hmm...come up with some other fun thing instead?

Unfortunantly, I don't see how you could use "mass chaos" in an essay about meditation, else I'd suggest that.

Unless you say like.

"Without meditation, your brain gets overloaded and goes into a state of mass chaos."

But prettier.

Futuro 06-11-2006 12:22 PM

[QUOTE=Drum Phil]Aye its goin around my forearm just above my wrist[/QUOTE]Like that guy in that band...


Anyway I have a tat, it is a 6 armed female gypsy, sitting with her legs crossed, playing a bansuri, with colors reminiscent of early Krishna drawings.

My avatar is a 2 armed male representation :cool:

Ming-a-Ling 06-11-2006 12:23 PM

Post a picture Faith.

Yeah, it's a little late in the year to risk testing your teachers sense of humor. I think the hardcore floating meditation will suffice.

Sunshine 06-11-2006 12:24 PM

My dad has like 5 tattoos, and he's not done yet.

1 full color, full-length tatto on each shoulder blade, one of the grim reaper and one of a flaming dragon, the chaos symbol in the very center of his spine, a track bike on one forearm and the suicide king of hearts with a skull's head on the other forearm.

Then my mom has one, on her thigh, of black and blue flowers.

And they say I can't get a tattoo, not that I'd want one anyway.

Ouch...that would hurt.

I'm going to get a tattoo toward the end of the month.

Sunshine 06-11-2006 12:28 PM

Haha, I settle for piercings.

Only in the ears though. I'm horribly pain intolerant ><

Not to mention, no matter how cool the tattoo was, I know myself well enough to know I'd be sick of it in less than 6 months.

maniac0796 06-11-2006 12:30 PM

Anyone else getting pissed off by the world cup. I like it in itself, i just don't like the way the media make such a big thing of it. I don't care if wayne rooney can't kick a fecking ball. He can lie in hospital and get obese for all i care, he's still making £xxxK a day....

Meh, media suck. I also hate seeing an england flag on every ford transit, and seeing fat crusty men with their bellies haning out a skin tight england shirt, whilst eating ice cream... eughhhh

Sunshine 06-11-2006 12:32 PM

Hey, its just as bad when Lance Armstrong kept winning the Tour de France.

Fat Americans went out and bought the tight biking clothing and bikes and road them for like a month after it ended.

I mean, it's good that they're getting exercise [I can't stand the majority of my country, and therefore I refer to the inhabitants as "they"], but...do they have to wear the tight bike racing clothing?
