Haha i've done that before. The insane deep thoughts.

darkevent89 07-13-2005 02:57 AM

Dude I hate just ****ing laying in bed trying to make yourself go to sleep but all you do is end up thinking about stuff for hours....

stevoibanez 07-13-2005 03:17 AM

read a boring book, you should fall asleep

Double Bass Jim 07-13-2005 03:51 AM

Im working on a new project starting tommorow hopefully, im fabricating a gong bass type drum and stand. I've got an old 22"x14" bass drum laying with a beat up wrap thats still in playable condition. Im gonna strip the wrap off and refinish it and get rid of the reso side lugs altogether. Once thats all done then im going to either 1. Buy some simple L-rod mounts and drill them into the shell and set it up like a giant floor tom. Or 2 try and fabricate a taller stand so the drum can be up high and tilted in peart style.

We'll see how it goes, if it comes out good i'll post some new shots. :cool:

before i started listening to mahavisnu orchestra and dokken before i went to bed i would stay up at least two hours before falling asleep, i listen for a good 45 minutes and when im tired nothings in my head so i can fall asleep. It sucks though i feel like im getting stupider by not thinking enough.

Simple Man 07-13-2005 12:10 PM

I have a huuuuge hangover.

Haha, I was reading back and I didn't even mean for that to be a pun, faith and der. :lol:

How is everyones day so far.

Win A Rabbit 07-13-2005 12:15 PM

my day's been going pretty good so far. i got up half an hour ago (11:45, early for me)
and it's my birthday, which is always good, because i get money. plus i get my paycheck of $3-400 tomorrow. hopefully my brother goes golfing right away so i can go play drums for a few solid hours. i think i might go have a bowl of cereal, and possibly shower. we'll see. i love being in my pj's all day, unshowered.

Plan B. 07-13-2005 12:23 PM

Happy birthday bro.

:cool:

Got up at 10, had a chocolate milk, went back to bed 'til now (2:23).

Futuro 07-13-2005 12:28 PM

Simple Man 07-13-2005 12:29 PM

Yea, Happy Birthday.

Win A Rabbit 07-13-2005 12:30 PM

i didnt fall asleep till 4 last night. i had to struggle to stay awake till 2:30, then after that, i couldnt go to sleep. don't you hate when that happens?

Plan B. 07-13-2005 12:36 PM

Yeah! That's what happened, I was so tired at like 9, so I thought "Hey, if I stay up and watch Conan, I'll be ever MORE tired!"

Turns out I pass the threshold and I'm even more awake after the show at 1:30.

Futuro 07-13-2005 12:37 PM

In florida they are thinking of raising the driving age to 18..... like that will help, all the bad drivers here are over 70. But i have been wondering how it works, cause im 16 with a license, will it be taken away till im 18?

Double Bass Jim 07-13-2005 12:39 PM

I doubt it, you were in before the law was put into place.

Also my fan came today so I won't die of heat stroke playin in my drum room which has no blinds and is in full sunlight most of the day.

poppinfresh 07-13-2005 12:46 PM

Nice! Take pics.

You guys are lucky it's hot, my parents love the air conditioning on full blast, I'm freeeeezing downstairs in my basement. I can't play when it's cold, my joints don't work and thats how you hurt yourself.

Double Bass Jim 07-13-2005 01:01 PM

Ohh man I wish it was cold here, I love to FREZZE.

Man when it's winter/fall I play alot more then in the summer, when it's hot and humid it just wears me down.

I work in a motor rewinding shop so with the blowtorches and ovens on all day it gets soooooo hot, last thing I want when I get home is to play drums in sauna :lol:

Win A Rabbit 07-13-2005 01:09 PM

i would much rather be too cold than too hot. i hate sweating and getting all sticky.

Plan B. 07-13-2005 01:14 PM

What the frick is wrong with you people!?

You're like my parents, no one is with me on this one.

Double Bass Jim 07-13-2005 01:16 PM

Haha no one likes to boil man!

Plan B. 07-13-2005 01:18 PM

im exactly the same

Der got die banned 07-13-2005 01:38 PM

being cold is better for your health too, you lose more body fat and get more muscle mass because you are shaking rather than just sweating out water that you end up drinking later on when it's hot.

Futuro 07-13-2005 01:43 PM

NOOOOOOO!!!!! i finished the test, they E-mail'd the results,i passed. But i have to go to DMV again, FFFFFAAAAACCCCCKKKKKK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Simple Man 07-13-2005 01:45 PM

I'd rather be cold, You can put more clothes on than you can take off.

I do like summer though.
