[QUOTE=Arcturus]Hey DBJ can you ban Josiah or something? I can't post a thread without him cussing me out.[/QUOTE]

Just ignore him. Its easier than banning.

[QUOTE=Licketysplit]I'd say natural maple, but i'm sure either finish will be great. Good drum sizes too.[/QUOTE]

Yeah im edging towards that.

We need more of them :cool:

[QUOTE]We need more of them[/QUOTE] Yeah i wouldnt mind seeing prog rock get more popular. With Porcupine trees lastest release i think they will help. But the first album i reccomend people trying to get into Prog Rock music is Moving Pictures.

Right on man, great album to start with.

I'm sh!ttin myself right here.

[QUOTE=British Boy]Curiosity got the best of him.[/QUOTE]

haha, I would be kind of curios to taste pepper spray..... but I wouldn't i'm not THAT stupid.


So school sucked again. I had to get up at 630 to go to school early for jazz band. Then 3rd block felt like last block becuase I had been at school for so much longer, ironicly it was band.

gettin up at 6:30 is a luxery during the week for me. i normally have to get up at 6 just to be able to get out of bed by 6:15 so i can be ready to leave by 6:40. it sucks.

and i have (accidentally) tasted pepper spray, you dont want to do that. it burns like a mother.

^ That sucks man, why do you have to leave so early? I'm assuming work.

6:30 is early for me because I normally get up at 7:30 on weekdays to beable to get to school on time for 8:45.

Ya I bet, that's why I said I wouldn't taste it because I bet it burns like a mother.

nope, school here starts at 8 and i walk with a bunch of people. we leave at about 7 and stop at the park for 10-20 min before to hang out. we get to school right as they open the doors to start going to our lockers and stuff.


and to say some phobia's of mine(missed it on page 309), spiders are the big one. clowns arent too bad, but theyre still kind of freaky. bees seem to like me ever sence i picked one out of my hair back in like '97 or something. it flew into my hair and landed upside down. i thought it was a leaf, but nope, bee.

and the dumbest thing i have ever heard someone say about a fear, ranch dressing. yeah, he was probably high when he said it, but he said it.

That's cool. sounds like a fun walk to a very boring place.

[QUOTE=rockindrumer]That's cool. sounds like a fun walk to a very boring place.[/QUOTE]

thats pretty much it.

man, incase anyone's been following, you'd know my english class is a total joke. and here's some more proof to back it up. today we stacked pard for half an hour to see what group of 4 people could get the highest stack. eventually we got second place with a 2 level pyramid, 6.5" high. the winner was 6.75" high. :lol: in english class. then she got people who knew card tricks to show the rest of the class.

well i had a great idea today when i was playing drums... "i have a spare ride cymbal with no stand, where can i mount it? that's right! my hi-hat stand." i put it under my hi-hat. and i put my little self-modified "timbale" on my l-rods holding my toms. then i used my marching snare, put it on my spare stand which i no longer need because i used to use it for the timbale, and put the marching snare to my left side. so i've got a whole "snare/ride/hats" combo just on my left side. here's a pic...

[url]http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a260/mx_sic/drums.jpg[/url]

^ :confused: ..... cool? I sorta get it the writing part was confusing but the pic helped.

i put it on my hi-hat rod, underneath my hats. i used a felt inbetween them of course. and my timbale is just sitting on the l-rods, nothing's really holding it in place, just letting gravity do it's job.

sidenote: have you ever thought how different this world would be without gravity? think of everyday things like beds, cars, roads, tv's, houses, etc. whoa.

TV has hit an all time low, Fox is showing some dance show. IT is the worst POS show ever.


NP - King Crimson, One more red nightmare.

It's because of the internet.

Ya dude that show is the biggest pos ever. But there are some cool shows out right now, but there is also to extreme of the really really ****ty ones too.

I can't wait until the new season of Arrested Development. I think besides family guy and the simpsons, its the only good thing on fox.

What other Rush albums are good? I having Moving Pictures, 2112, Farewell to Kings, and Permanent Waves.

[QUOTE]What other Rush albums are good? I having Moving Pictures, 2112, Farewell to Kings, and Permanent Waves.[/QUOTE] I thought signals was good and vapor trails had some cool songs on it, Vapor trails was a weird step for them though IMO, if you like live stuff get Rush in Rio DVD, that is a great movie (besides the crowd being so **** loud)

OH and definetly pick up "Fly by night" By-tor and the snow dog is an amazing song. being the first album with peart on it (i believe) They still had to grow into there sound, but its still one of my favorite albums. And if you ever pick up "all the worlds a stage" The instrumental section is lengthened quit a bit.

I have Rush in Rio. :D

[QUOTE]I have Rush in Rio.[/QUOTE] Have you ever watched the behind the scenes footage, some of it is hilarious. Very cool DVD set :cool:

Signals, grace under presure, hemispheres.

$10 or $12 each makes it much more worth it.

Good shows on TV IMO:
Family Guy
American Dad
Aqua Teen Hunger Force (Volume 4 in December, can't wait)



Purchases today:

Burnout Legends (PSP)
Night of the Living Dead DVD (Classic version. There's a redone color version, but I didn't want that.)
Old School Unrated DVD
Van Wilder Unrated DVD

Purchases last night at the show:

Walls of Jericho's first CD
Walls of Jericho shirt
Walls of Jericho belt
Misery Signals hat)
lol


Ok story time.


So during Misery Signals' set, I felt something hit the top/back of my head, and a guy grabbed my shoulder and said sorry, apparantly he'd hit me, with his elbow or something.

So the whole set goes on, VERY AWESOME, great band. Eventually the lights come on for a second and the guy says I'm bleeding, apologizes again, etc. I reach up and yep, I'm bleeding! lol
Apparantly he'd actually hit me with his teeth, he'd been pushed forward when I was moving back or something, and got me.

So after their set, he says sorry again, it's cool and he runs off somewhere to do something else or whatever. My friend notices and says it's running down my neck, so I take off my shirt (Which happened to be white, of course. Already bloody at the neck) and pat it all, try to clean it up. Pour some water over my head, go buy a Walls of Jericho shirt and threw it on lol

Great show though, best I've seen in awhile.

i just got new shoes. it's about time, too. i had my old shoes for almost 3 years now, and they had huge holes on the insides of them.

unfortunately for me, i have wide feet, and shoes nowadays are all made to fit like a glove, so the only shoes that ever fit me at stores are those really dorky nike shoes with checkmarks and lines and colors everywhere.

[URL=http://www.cloggs.co.uk/invt/1342]my new shoes[/URL]

my mom wanted to buy me 2 new pairs of shoes so she wouldn't have to look for shoes ever again (she's been trying to get me shoes for a few months now) but i convinced her not to.

^ Nice shoes sic. I need new ones myself pretty badly.



That sounds like a pretty awsome concert powerstamp.

Hahaha what a combo.

the thing i don't like about my new shoes is they only have 6 holes on each side. i've always laced my shoes the same, but with these, the laces come out the ways on the last hole, which makes them a bit tighter around the ankle than if they went in.

oh well, i can live with it. :lol:

well i have homework to do, coloring maps according to democracies and dictatorships. i hate doing maps in social, it's always the same thing, just for different reasons. last year it was labelling them according to population, death rate, blah blah blah.

did you know that timbuktu is actually spelled "tombouctou" ? i just found that out today.

****. I've graduated this June from high school, and I'm playing in a band with two guys who are still in that high school. We got signed up to play for both lunches on friday, so now I have to go back to my high school and play 4-5 songs per lunch to a bunch of kids :(

I'm so embarresed, but playing gigs is worthwhile, I love playing shows, even if its as bad as this one.
