Products / Faultline / Hate My Life










I don't think I have it nearly as bad as this guy, but I think this is a funny song. If you think about all the songs out there that complain about the world and how everything is wrong and that the world is merely a bleak speck in the universe and then take all the things this guy is singing about? Well, to me, it makes it pretty funny.

Why Some Men Have Dogs And Not Wives / The worst part about Blogging

You know, this is as old as a oak tree that's been around a zillion years, but it still makes me chuckle.
1. The later you are, the more excited your dogs are to see you.
2. Dogs don't notice if you call them by another dog's name.
3. Dogs like it if you leave a lot of things on the floor.
4. A dog's parents never visit.
5. Dogs agree that you have to raise your voice to get your point across.
6. You never have to wait for a dog; they're ready to go 24 hours a day.
7. Dogs find you amusing when you're drunk..
8. Dogs like to go hunting and fishing.
9. A dog will not wake you up at night to ask, "If I died, would you get another dog?"
10. If a dog has babies, you can put an ad in the paper and give them away.
11. A dog will let you put a studded collar on it without calling you a pervert.
12. If a dog smells another dog on you, they don't get mad. They just think it's interesting.
13. Dogs like to ride in the back of a pickup truck.
And last, but certainly not least:
14. If a dog leaves, it won't take half of your stuff.

Ultimate True Test :
Lock your wife and your dog in the trunk of your car for an hour. Then open the trunk and see who's the happiest to see you.



The worst part about blogging is that I hear about a really interesting one - but the author of Stuff that happens hasn't posted since February!

Last thing: Lost finale. Uh, it's a dream? Jack never moved from the place where he landed when he fell out of the plane and all the things that happened 'happened' in his mind? Really? Feeling a bit ripped off...

RIP: DIO

Ronnie James Dio died from stomach cancer.

In honor of his contributions to the heavy metal genre, this is my favorite song by him.


My sympathy to his family.


Destrophy has TNA Wrestler Theme Song and other news...

This is a band that used to be based out of Iowa City. The lead singer, Ari, graduated from Iowa City West and has been "Destrophy" since then. Now, finally, after years of hard work, their song "Reconnect" is the theme song for a TNA wrestler. TNA, in case you don't know, is a competitor of the WWE or what used to be the WWF, the promotion that you are probably the most familiar with even if you never watch (or admit to watching) pro wrestling. So anyways, this is Destrophy. I like it. I like the energy in the tempo.

In other news, didn't do so hot @ the casino last night. Could never set foot in Riverside's casino in my life.

Finally, played drums last night @ 5:15 Mass. Sounded good. I took some more liberties with the songs that were in 3/4 time and just played around the electronic drums with less rigid timekeeping. The tempo was solid but I avoided a lot of standard parts (boom-chick-chick / boom-chick-chick) that you normally hear in a 3/4 song.

This week is busy - lots of after work committments and things going on. I counted up the days and we are going to spend 24 nights in our camper this summer. I cannot wait!

Ozzy!

I read Ozzy Osbourne's autobiography and wrote about it: http://www.dailyvault.com/article.php5?id=247

Groundhog pokes his head up

Just read about a tour with the following dates:
|
Aug. 10 - Minneapolis, MN - First Ave
Aug. 11 - Indianapolis, IN - Emerson Theatre
|
That would have to be the *worst* sequence of tour dates I've ever seen! This is for a ten band tour called "Summer Slaughter." These bands have to travel 16 hours 38 minutes / 1083.93 miles between these two gigs.

It doesn't make sense.
