Pump Up The Valuum

My cousin and his friends kept asking me how fast I could drum, so I decided to record this and show them. At least they stopped asking....



Big shout out to Jeff, and a huge thank you for helping with the production. He put a hell of a lot of effort into it, and I thank you.

Oh, Me Part 2

Oh, Me

AH!!!!!Finally!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Wahoo!!!!!!!

Kaija is finally trained, and I don't have to work as much! Thank god! I get a real day off tomorrow for what feels like years. Can you tell I'm excited?

Still rather messed up about finding out about Gabe the other day. I keep going through in my mind if there was something I could have done. I know there wasn't. I was just some guy on the internet to him. Hell, I don't even know what he really thought about me. But do we ever? It's impossible to judge what people actually think about you online. He could have hated me, and only tolerated me being on his blog. I doubt it, but it's possible. I just get so tired of sitting back helplessly watching people around me hurt themselves. There is nothing worse than watching someone self destruct right in front of you, and you know there's nothing you can do about. As time goes by, I keep hearing about people I know or used to know that lost the battle and are gone. It's fucking bullshit.

Ah crap. Now I've gone and gotten myself all worked up again when I wanted this to be a happy post. I recorded another song, but for some reason I can't get divshare to load, so I can't upload it right now. (Jeff, PUTV is coming...don't worry) So that'll be around when divshare decides to stop being a bastard.

I think I'm going to go to bed, and sleep for the next six years. Or at least the next 24 hours.

All Work And No Pl....Shit, I'm Tired

Hi guys. Sorry I've been quite lately. We had a guy quit at work, so I've been covering his shifts. Which means working 60/70 hour weeks without days off. Which means I'm a little tired. But my friend Kaija got hired, and will be training in next week, so hopefully my life will calm down soon.

Anyways, one of the perks of working so much, is I have money. So I've done a little splurging lately. And you might say I've gone a little two wheel crazy. I'm sure you remember our crazy ass bike rides we go on during the summer, and some of you might remember my low rider cruiser bike that I have. If not, here's a picture.



And yes, my pedal is on the ground....



Anyways, so I'd been searching craigslist looking for another bike. I like the long one, but it can be a bit hard to ride. And now that I don't have my truck, it's hard to transport, considering it's a little over 8.5 feet long. And then I came across this:



A 1948 Western Flyer that was slightly customized by the previous owner. That thing is awesome, but it's been a little cold lately so we haven't had a big ride yet, and I don't know how it will do. I'm sure it'll be fine, and I've ridden around by myself, but it's different in the group setting, you know?

And now I've done it again, although this time, a little differently.



2001 Honda Shadow 750. Went and got my motorcycle permit last Friday, and bought the bike on Monday. I've ridden it around town some, and it's a blast. It wasn't as hard as I thought it'd be, but I have ridden dirt bikes in the past, so maybe that's why. Now if I can figure it out with my work schedule, I'm going to take a basic riders course and get my endorsement. With only my permit, I can't ride at night, on the highway, or with a passenger. I also have to wear a helmet (MN doesn't have helmet laws) but I'm going to do that even with my endorsement. The only thing that sucks, is that they only offer the course on nights and weekends. And I only work on nights and weekends. I'll have to call in some favors to get some time off or something. Hopefully. I could just go to the DMV and take the test, but I'll learn a lot from the class, and I think I'll do better. Too bad their schedule sucks. I mean, you would think they would offer at least one morning/afternoon class, but no. Fuckers.

So that's about all I've been up to lately. Working, and now bikes. Now I just need the weather to a little nicer, and I'll be able to ride them all more.

Hope you guys are well!
