I was reading they've had a high number of fatalities,I guess it couldn't really be prevented. Still sucks when things like this happen.
I've got these cool new pads now that you can put on your drums so that it sort of mutes them a bit.. Also I got those jazzy type sticks , the brushes? and I tied an elastic band on the end so they mute even more and I can play at night now wihout upsetting my neighbours.. not that they've had the balls to come over and complain yet lol. It helps out for when I'm trying to play along to a track, I don't have to blast it and deafen myself while I'm trying to learn a new track lol.
You have a facebook page? You can find me under Joe Draper (my pic is the one with me the little girl and the little doggy lol.

I hope that you and all your family are safe with the tsunami.. I must admit, when I hear of natural disasters such as these I do tend to get very nervous for those who are in the direct firing line.
Hmm.. I've had a wee break from drumming too, I've just been so busy with kids etc and had to take a short break but today is the day I pick my sticks up again.. I can feel it in my blood lol.

Spa, have you ever read any books by Neal Donald Walsh? His series is Conversations With God.. I have read two and his message is exactly that.. We are all God-like beings. Created in equality. We are here to create, not to learn,obey and beg for forgiveness (what the heck would free will mean if we had to beg all the time?)
Anyways, I think if you haven't already gotten your mits on these books try hunt them down. I have a feeling you'll love and understand the message really well.

This next entry is something I find very interesting. Do with it what you will:
Our minds were Created in the image of God. This is the great gift, and God is waiting for us to understand it. Alll around the world, we are gazing skyward, waiting for God.... never realizing that God is waiting on Us. We see ourselves as helpless sheep buffeted around by the God who made us. We kneel like frightened children, begging for help, for forgiveness, for good luck. But once we realize that we are truely created in the Creator's image, we will start to understand that we , too, must be Creators. When we understand this fact, the doors will burst wide open for human potential.
Just a late night thought from a bookworm. One I find as refreshing as what DF said a few weeks ago. Enlightenment. |

Ahhh yep, top story on our main news site, apparently a 1 metre high tsunami is due to hit later today. There's estimated 'arrival' times on this site too, it's due to hit it's first place in about half an hour. Hopefully it is only 1 metre high! Civil defence has mobilised, and nearly all of my family lives in land, so they'll be fine.
