This post is again just practice, i'm in the computer lab with about 20 minutes till my zoology lab starts so there's no real time for serious posting; i'm just trying to get into the habit of posting stuff. Blech, i've used my quota of the root "post" and won't use it for at least half a day now. The kid next to me in here is looking up drumsets and i know it's probably impolite to look at otehr people'ss's screens, but i can't help it they're too beautiful. Drumsets are fantastic. Wow. When i hear a truly superb drummer going at it i get all shivery and can't pay attention to anything else and usually end up trying to drum along. If there are drumsticks anywhere near me, and there usually are, i'm sure to wind up with bruised knees and broken lamps: apparently imagining i'm at a set only works in my head. Know who's a great drummer? The absolute best drummer i know? Travis Barker. What a hero. He's the drummer for Blink 182, who are wildly popular and have many many cds so i get to hear him a lot. Gah i idolize that guy. He works up such intricate and complex beats that most people don't even notice the majority of it, but wow zac and i do. Try playing it sometimes, it's like trying to play 6-dimensional lightspeed Twister in space, and you can't just go at whatever pace you want, oh no, it has to fit in with the song. Oooohhh it's fun, even though i'm not nearly an accomplished enough drummer to handle it. I could sing the praises of Sir Barker for a few more pages here, but i have to go scrape skin cells off and look at them under microscopes.

wait this all one big paragraph and it's online, so it's not really pages... i could talk about him for a few more feet, that's better.

Travis and i TOTALLY have the same birthday, how freaking awesome is that?

Don't worry usually i don't use "totally" like that.

Well, that's funny. I am reading this post while my son is playing the drums very loudly about ten feet away from me. His drum set is very pretty -- a dark red. Sometimes I grab the sticks and play but then I get yelled at for playing too hard.
