I love Boston. They're a great f*ing rock 'n roll band. They really are. They're also highly highly underrated. Man, most of rock 'n roll music is underrated these days. Seems to me that most of the shit (yes, that's right, shit) on the radio these days is all about fuckin' and suckin'. It's all about the money. That stupid beat... trying to find words that rhyme with each other...
Man, fuck you, hip-hop. You ruined rock 'n roll.

If all the music on the radio was like Lynyrd Skynyrd, Bill Haley, Elvis Presley (before he got fat and lazy), old school Beatles (before they went to India and got all crazy), and even some old Johnny Cash... If all the music could be like that, then I would be happy. It seems Kid Rock has his eye on what's important, too. He's done a couple of really good CCR covers... he's even done Fat Bottom Girls. Go download it. Awesome song.
Yes, that's right, I'm lamenting the state of rock 'n roll. Seems like Lenny Kravitz was a bit prophetic in his song "Rock 'n roll is dead", back in the mid-90's. Mind you, it was still a great song, shitty message or not.

But that's the kinda music I dig, man. Pure and simple rock 'n roll. AC/DC do a damn good job of it, as well. I just love it. It moves me. I think it was almost written in the stars for me to pick up the saxophone, y'know. As far back as I can remember, I've wanted to play it. I don't know if anyone reading this remembers, but on Sesame Street, way back in the early 80's, there used to be a little segment showing how a saxophone was made... From where they use a massive press to cut the shape of the saxophone from a huge sheet of (i think it was) brass, to the manufacturing of the keys/keypads, to the assembly of it all. I recall sitting in front of the television at my babysitter's house and dreaming of the day I'd get to play a saxophone.
So in grade six, imagine my surprise and delight when I had the option to be able to learn said instrument. I'll always always be thankful, and in great debt, to Peggy Head (my gr. six music teacher). She taught me the basics of it. She was also my first "hot teacher". I'll also forever be in debt to my parents for buying me that sax. I still have it; it's upstairs next to my piano. I don't play it as often as I should, because... well... man, I'm f*ing awesome. I really think I'm pretty good. Mind you, I am a little outta practice, but shit happens. It's like riding a bike for me... Just give me a couple of minutes, and I could go right back to it. Thing is, I can't remember any particular songs. I don't think I remember 'em, anyway. It's only since I started doing drugs that I really got good at improvisational playing.
But we'll leave the drug talk right there.

I'm thankful for my ability to make good music. I'm thankful for my ability to be creative. I'm thankful for my ability to write. It's a great outlet for my creativity.

I'm also very thankful I'm not deaf. If I couldn't listen to music, I would go out of my mind... Music, more than anything else, has gotten me through some damn tough times... especially within the last year or so.

If you think I'm crazy for constantly talking about "the last year or so", well... maybe I am. But it's been a great year of inward transformation for me.


Okay, onto something a little less serious...

I've been farting alot lately. I think it's because I ate alot of cheese in the last couple of days. Cheese makes your farts stink... man...


Well, that's about it for now.
