Which Came First?

A lot of the time I think about this very thing. Maybe I need to branch out more and find new music? Even though I know within that new music, whatever it may be, I will search for substance, meaning, a connection, which I or anyone should see nothing wrong with since its something I think everyone does. Im coming to the conclusion that what Im attracted to and the kind of person that I am, is what never gets me out of the holes I find myself in yearly, usually over the same thing. So maybe its me? Even down to the books that I read, whether a fictional story or a philosophical book by a writer who has a far better grip on his/her own case of fucking... melancholia, than I will ever have. They all have one thing in common, dark, evil, depressing shit about loss, death, confusion and the shere burden of being given life.

I need a new playlist...or maybe a renewed sense of being.

Sorry for this Blog rule breaker.

Dark Horse Percussion!

Thats right! After MANY years of dreaming up kits and talking to friends trying to get the hook up from the company they play. I have reached the end of the line. I have found a Company that is awesome and gave me an excellent price on a custom kit!

It feels weird. Its been SO long and now its finally happening. Im super pumped! 

heres what I got:

SIZES:

24x18 kick
16x16 floor
12x8 rack
13x8 snare (10ply)

chrome 2.3 mm hoops
chrome Diecast hoops on snare only
chrome mini tube lugs
floor tom mounts for legs drilled into the shell. 

kit color: Custom Navy blue with a glitter finish
kit stripes: 2 Donkey white abalone stripes
Snare finish: wrapped in Donkey white abalone.

The kit in look, will be just like this(minus the diff. colors obv.)

and thats that. I asked Anthony if he could photograph the process as best he can and send me shots so that I can blog the process here. I hope this happens!

STOKED!

DARK HORSE PERCUSSION

Futures

I live in a colonial house, on the sunny side of San Nicolas Park, where I have spent all the days of my life without wife or fortune, where my parents lived and died and where I have proposed to die alone, in the same bed in which I was born and on a day that I hope will be distant and painless.

Gene Simmons Dog

 Ummmm.....Im basically speachless.

Soundtrack.

In a house that has minimal moments of silence, whether it be my own room, since I supposedly "hate" silence and am ALWAYS listening to SOMETHING or the obnoxious voices of the people that I live with. I find that when I read, I need to drown out those obnoxious voices and cover it with something.

Total silence is normally prefered for me whenever im trying to use my brain and take in or process information, but since I cannot do that here, I listen to this fine Instrumental release by Explosions In The Sky called "the earth is not a cold dead place".

I cannot listen to things with vocals, since it is too distracting. I cant seem to listen to the Album Leaf either, since they will surprisingly throw vocals in and ill get fucked up(Im weird?). Nor can I listen to The Cancer Conspiracy, since they are too intense and I will pay more attention to how intense they are. Than actually read.

So I found a nice EP to calm down to, relax and get pages finished. I dont know why its ONLY this album, Ive put all of them on before. There is just something about this one, I mean, it also happens to be my favorite release by them, so maybe thats it?

Things I'd Like To Do Before I Die

These are my friends, Scott, Dan and Scott. They are lucky enough to have their picture taken with one of these fine, terribly cute animals that just so happens to be one of my favorites. 

I dont know where you would go to have this pleasure, it could very well be Australia. Which is a place on my list of countries to visit. 

So, before I die, I would love to visit Australia and have my picture taken with a Koala. I will snug it until it pops like a basketball!

Br00tal Dessert!

Ever feel that Ice cream was childs play?

Well not any more! You hard ass men of men can now enjoy ice cream without feeling like a total pussy!

I do think im going to try this next time I go to Kimballs. Mocha Almond sounds awesome as hell. 

If you dont know what Kimballs is, its a awesome place to get ice cream in Westford, Mass(among another mass location & a NH one) check out all the fun that can be had HERE. There isnt even any pictures of your 2 choices of Mini Golf Adventures!!!
