If you ever had a chance to hook up with your mom's friends, now's the time :thumb:

In other news...My dog pooped on the floor and my son picked it up and threw it up onto the ceiling, then was jumping off a chair trying to knock it down while I was in the shower...

So i went to guitar center today, sabian aaxs sound so good. I also like how the piaste 2002s keep ringing. other cymbals seem to decay faster, but the paistes slowly go down. it's nice. I don't like many zildjians, to be honest, the ks are sweet, a/a customs are good, but i'd rather have AAXs.

haha they're no prize. :lol:

and my friend's neice was rubbing her own poo all over the walls, and she put it on/in her nose about a week ago.

Haha, he did that too once when he was 2, just not the rubbing it on/in nose. WTF is with kids playing with feces?? My neices and nephews did it too.

luckily i never did it as a child.

i don't understand the fascination with it either. if i was just a baby perhaps i could be entertained with the consistency of it until i smelled it. :lol:

this is tunring into a weird conversation.

I did.

Only after I ate carrot bread.

i've never had carrot bread. is it like the same as carrot cake? i love carrot cake with some good icing, oh yum.

update on the drunk parents: they're now thinking up all the puns to talk about someone's genitalia using golf terms.

You did. It just shamed your parents so much they've repressed the memory and never told you about it.

Topic Change:
What would you rather buy if you were me:

A) Cymbal Stand so you can mount all your cymbals
B) Remote Hi-Hat Stand so I can actually play my aux. hi-hats like I want to.

I'm very torn right now. One of my cymbal stands broke, and I recently bought a couple new ones, so I have 3-ish I can't use. On the other hand, I've had to have my aux. hats on a closed aux. hi-hat thingy since I've had them, and it's just not the same as playing them as I'd like to, and it's driving me nuts.

Shaft is the funniest one for golf terms.

Probably cymbal stand so you can mount all cymbals instead of only hats.

hmm... what are the cymbals you're not able to use?

if they're something like 8" splashes and such, i'd go with the remote hat stand.

i really want a remote hat stand to try some bruford-inspired setups.

Here is what I have (** are the ones I don't have in use right now)

14" Zildjian New Beat Hi-hats
12" Saluda Mist Hi-hats
20" Sabian AA Med. Ride
16" Sabian Vault Crash
17" Zildjian A Custom Fast Crash
18" Saluda Mist Crash
**16" Saluda Mist Crash**
12" Sabian Pro Splash
10" Sabian Pro Splash
10" Wuhan Splash
8" Wuhan Splash
**18" Sabian AA Fast China**
*12" Wuhan China*

The wuhan china is mounted on the 18" Crash, so it's in use, albeit not exactly where I want it...and the 18" China is the only cymbal I actually miss right now. I think I'm going to cut the other crash out of my set up since I didn't use it all that much.

I'm getting some new vids up.

One of me playing RHCP's By the way (half improv...i couldn't help it:p) because Paradiddle pete asked and the other is a virtual tour of my kit...keep waiting ladies and gents

Damn, Ming, tough choice there...

I'd go with the cymbal stand, actually. 18" china = awesome.

i'd go with the stands also.

drunk parents update: one of them is passed out on the couch, and the rest of them are talking about what to say to someone in the morning after a one-night stand.

Ordered my new Chad Smith Sig Snare today. got it for 150 including shipping, went into the shop after I boguht it (ya I know wierd) to test it out haha. but ya, Im incredably happy with my choice.

Really? I was feeling so ****ty today, just sad in general, and morbid.

Then... suddenly I got this randomly imposed clarity of thought, then a song came up on my random itunes shuffle....

The song pierced me, and literally made everything bad I was feeling totally nonconsequential, I was graced with exponential oversight and a perspective on events not previously seen.

All without drugs. Music is the only thing with that kind of power... that when you remove the mental filter it pieces directly to the soul.


Would you like that song faith? If you open yourself up to it id imagine you would recieve similar desireable effects.

lol. and why do you feel down? is it because Loyton stole page 1644? huh? is it?

That is sooo wierd when that happens. Ya, latley I have been pretty damn sad/angry. its a long story, but I might make up for my mistake.

[QUOTE=Futuro]So guys I feel down :upset:[/QUOTE]

Me too :(

Was my bday yesterday so I had quite a bit too drink. I'm starting to feel down more and more often after a night out drinking... must have something to do with the fact that alcohol is a depressant.

I'm kinda feeling down too, i'm starting to like my ex again which sucks cause I was the one that messed up the first time.

You're all guys. You don't get periods, hormones or pms. You can acctually control it a little bit more, and you don't break out, making you more depressed.

Cheer up.

That's not bad. It's not as if you don't have another chance. If you're feelings are genuine then she'll eventually see that, and there's no problem.

Honestly, unless you like ****ed her mum or something you can still date her if you want.

Why are you down? I'm a good listener :thumb:

[QUOTE=sweet_nothings]Try me :p

Why are you down? You probably posted it before, but I can't be arsed to look for it.[/QUOTE]
I wasn't sure, I feel better so im not worried about it.

Dammit, I was arsed and you hadn't so I changed it and hoped no one noticed.

Well it's good you feel better.

Have you written anymore songs? I loved Rain.
