A Rock Opera

In my recent days as an experimenting musician I have decided to write a rock opera. :idea: I have had this idea and wrote the ideas for it at all seperate times, I recently brought together to make a story as vivid as the first rock opera Tommy. The story line includes a child born from nothing and therefore has no senses. He learns to hear through playing music somehow. Highlights of the story include a stowaway on a ship to an oriental country, teaching's from a Guru, the pratical torture of thousands of people, a marriage, a trip to a church where a certain girl by the name of Sally had been struck off the stage ;), and a spiraling depression in which our character experiances a "vision" which will be the very last song, probably an epic sounding 15-20 min. song with guitar, bass, and drum solos, a full orchestra and band, little to no vocals, keyboards, pianos, and synths, and in the last 1-2 mins. it will be his death at the hospital. So yeah that's it.

Gas Prices Rant

Current mood: aggravated

Seeing as how gas prices are at an arm for a gallon?!



But seriously, in the next year or two gas will more than likely be at $5.00 a gallon. And no matter what you think about the middle east is the cause of our as problems it's NOT. No, the real problem(s) are China and India, yea that's right. 10 years ago, 9/10 of every Indian and Chinian lived in shacks in the slums of cities, but 10 years later the people who use to be poor can afford fucking cars?! Well screw you, you damn Indians and Chinesian fucktards*! Below is a chart of oil consumption in the world.



Anybody with eyes can see China's growth alone. And wtf happened in 2004? Did aliens drop off a couple million barrels? I mean jesus people, it's called carpooling!!! And do you want to know who I blame?



Thats right Austrians! Siegfried Marcus, AKA inventor of the pre-cursor to automobile. "Siegfried Marcus built a one-cylinder engine with a crude carburetor, and attached his engine to a cart for a rocky 500-foot drive. Several years later, Marcus designed a vehicle that briefly ran at 10 mph that a few historians have considered as the forerunner of the modern automobile by being the world's first gasoline-powered vehicle", as quoted from inventors.com.
Anyway this whole deal with gasoline is almost an obsession. It's like a modern persons crack, everybody who has a car HAS to have it! Well I got one thing to say to those people, and it is, Mass Transit.

*No bias was taken to any race in this rant.

How to Install a New Drumhead

I can't tell you the amount of drum heads I've been through in my whole drumming career, and now I am going to share the PROPER way to install a new drum head on your drum. First remove existing head by taking off lugs in this order, North, South, East, West, North-West, South-East, North-East, South-West. Now that you have removed your old head, it's time to pop on a fresh new one, but first examine your drum head, make sure it is flawless, and is thickness all over, because any imperfections can cause the head to have a tampered sound. Now all you have to do is tighten your new head the same way you put it on, tune it to your preference, and your good to go.
