[QUOTE=bobby__johnny]ahhh another day, another dime......another cymbal....:D

just layed an order down at my local shop for a 16" AA Chinese...woot![/QUOTE]

gotta love those AA chinese. i need to get a heavier stand for mine. i got it on a crappy pdp700. mines the 18inch chinese too. i hate it when my stands wobble a lot.

man, i just had a SWEET 2 hour nap. it was exactly what i needed. :lol:

i'm thinking about asking that girl i barely know, but still like, to go to grad with me, but i don't know how to ask her, since she's like "last resort" for me. how do i say "will you go with me... if everyone else i know is already going with someone" without sounding like an a'sshole? because i've asked like 10 of my lady friends, and they'd made plans back at the end of last year. d'amn girls and their need to plan everything out.

Dude ur mad lucky my stupid f*cking singer kept calling me so I had to get the phone... Umm well if you already talk to her just get her number and sn, the secret is to make it clear that your coming on to her but not to come on too strong(unless of course that works for you). Talk to her for like two or three days and if you like her personality ask her out when you see her.

Well, I'm gonna post what I did in my drumming world today since posting these seems to make me less sleepy. I went to jazz band and for the second time got to play the set and now I can accually play it pretty good, I just need to play my hihat foot harder and develop independence with my left hand(which I have on my snare that one is just too tight and I'm not used to playing that kit). I haven't played my set in like 3 days because after my show I still didn't set it up from being so tired... I miss my kit but I'm gonna try my cymbal setup a little different, I'm going to play it like how I used to play it, instead of the china being opposite the crash the ride will be and the china will be right over the floor tom mounted flat

haha there was a fly that kept landing on my arm, so after like 10 minutes i got up and got the flyswatter, and it never came back.

well about the girl, i've talked to her alot over the internet, and at school for like 20 seconds at a time inbetween classes, and the occasional party, but we've never really hung out or anything, and i don't want to come off as sounding really into her, but i don't want to come off as sounding like she's my last resort either. you know? it's tough.

get to be good friends with her and ask to go as friends, not a date or anything. still take her out and stuff, but make sure its clear it isnt a date (well, unless you find that you really like her).

well i asked her, and then she reminded me that she told me last week that she's going with her friend to his in b.c. :lol: i completely forgot she told me about that.

but she told me she really wanted to go to the one in town, etc. and then we made plans to hang out this weekend. who knows, maybe my manly charm will persuade her into going with me? :naughty:

well i'm gonna go make supper, since my mom just called and said she won't be home until 8.

Well so much for that, but atleast you get to hang out with her.

should probably kill yourself now.


nah i'm just messin :cool:






seriously though :upset:

23 hours from now my band will either be just walking off the stage or packing our stuff up. :D

Dudeskies..I can't wait for this haha

go to bed at 4AM, wake up at noon, take a shower, pick up our singer, practice at 3, leave for show around 5:45, 6PM at the latest, setup play whoo

lol


So many good CDs also come out tomorrow.
Most Precious Blood, Nodes of Ranvier, God Forbid, and a few others I forget.

Nice man! :thumb:

This deserves it's own post.
I've been meaning to post this here for awhile, and while they're probably not very well known or popular here it has to be said.

One of my favorite bands since I heard about them 3 years ago has broken up. They started in the "nu metal" era and were a 'nu metal' band at first, and then as they went through the years shed that part and just became a musical powerhouse for sure.
Great lyrics, the drummer was phenomenal (and severely underrated), everything about this band was awesome.
Was.

40 Below Summer, who I listened to almost every single day through my high school years, has officially broken up (sort of).
Guitarist Jordan left earlier this year, as did Carlos (drummer), both founding members. This left the group with Max (singer) and Joey (guitar) as the only 2 founding members left out of 5.

They were working on a new CD, but decided to call it quits as 40 BELOW SUMMER, with 2/5 left they were a totally different band.
Saturday they played their last show under the name, playing songs they haven't played in 3+ years.

The remaining 3 are continuing on with a new drummer and guitarist under the new name BLACK MARKET HERO.


Just felt like saying, RIP 40 Below Summer.

I never got to see them live, they didn't come to KC since 2002. They recorded the last show for a DVD though which I'll def be gettin.

Oh hell yeah.
You guys know who i'm seeing in concert this Thursday?
**** straight
Roy Haynes...
could whip any of these metal bitches asses. He's 73 and still on the top of his game... truly a man to commemorate.

Also, our theatre is bringing in a ton of powerhouses this year.

Wynton Marsalis will be coming back again. Chick Corea is coming, and John Scofield, and Al green. Just in this month. I can't wait.

^ Chick Corea is so freaking awsome man. One of the sweetest concerts I've been too.

Yeah, I saw Chick Corea w/ Weckl and John Pattitucci on bass years ago, killer concert!

BTW, for you paintballers out there: Anyone have any experience with the Spyder Rodeo marker? I'm looking at getting one.

Spyder paitball guns are the best.

I've read good reviews. Any thoughts on the Rodeo specifically?

I swear I just typed out something.

Never-the-less, my friend owns a Rodeo, it's a mech. right? It's always preformed very effectively for him, I've never seen it go down, and very easy to maintain. It's a very solidly built marker. Not that complex being it a sear tripper.

Cool, thanks! Back to drums......

stick a smart barel on it and its godlike

A what?

:lol:

obviously a gun barrel come on(i know i suck at spelling)

i have a pellet gun that looks and feels (and weighs) like a .357....does that count for anything?

I don't have a gun of any type.

neither do i, im not puny enough to re

guns are bad, mmkay?

i used to work at a gun club, worst job ever. either you loaded the discs and got clay powder in your face (which actually hurt worse than the biggest sunburn you can get on your face) or you press the button when they say "pull" and get big cloud of gunpowder in your face (which also burned), plus a sunburn from being in the sun all day.

oh man, one time i was pulling (pressing button, and keeping score) and it was really cold and raining out, so they gave us this box to keep the score cards in while i was marking it down. they brought me some hot chocolate to keep warm, so i kept it in the box next to the scorecard. they get through like 7 or 8 of the 10 rounds, and then this huge gust of wind comes and jolts my box. i grab onto it so as not to let the card fall out and get wet, but my hot chocolate spills on it, and all my pencil marks just fade away. i had to stop them and tell them they were going to have to redo their previous rounds, which meant they had to stay out in the cold for another 15 minutes. :lol: they were pissed.

man i hated that job.

Ohh man that had to be a KILLER show.

here, i typed out my "prince harry" rant. (i've made a few corrections since i handed it in, since she gave us 5 minutes and i had alot to say, i just rushed through it)

"This whole argument is completely idiotic. A man wore a costume to a costume party, simple as that. I think we are all aware that Harry doesn't line Jews up and shoot them one by one. So with that knowledge, I find it impossible to accuse someone of sharing their beliefs with a costume. Does his brother, dressed as a lion, share the instinct to attack anything that moves with his razor-sharp claws? No, because infact, he is not a lion. Sure, if Harry came to the party with dead jews in the trunk of his car, the situation would be something worth spending all the time that the dips'hit media put into a person's (yes, he is still a person, much like you or I) armband. If his brother wants to be a little p'ussy and wear lion suits, let him be a p'ussy. If Harry wants to wear something that some may consider "offensive", let him. Because anyone who gets offended by a f'ucking costume is either an old jewish person who b'itches about the holocaust at every chance they get, but wont put it in their past, or they're some rich news reporter p'ussy who won't cover real news like world hunger or the slaughtering of innocent citizens in Iraq."

I'm a pacifist, so I have no gun, nor desire to get one.

However, my dad has an AR7, its a pretty nifty little rifle.

EDIT: Tomorrow I audition for my college's jazz band. I'm so hyped.

Fun to go shoot at the range, it's good times.
