you CAN write a book and I know just the confidence booster. Go into any bookstore and pick up a book completely at random (preferably from the romance, humor, or self-help sections) and look at the crap that they wrote down and know that you could do so much better. I mean, every politician has written a book-prpbably even that pro-wrestler guy who is governor of one of our states.

I've always hated this advice and all variations on it:

"When feeling angry or aggitated, simply breathe. Breathe deeply and rhythmically. Inhale...exhale...repeat twenty times. This relaxing practice will alleviate stress in all situations."

First of all, I'd like to smack whoever thought of that. Breathe—? You want me to do what I do all day long without thinking about it, except now I'm supposed to concentrate on doing it really hard, which will supposedly make me relax and forget about why I'm angry? I don't think so. Number one, I don't want to lose my anger in case I need it to kick someone's bastard ass. Secondly, I am now even more irritated and aggitated from all the retarded breathing crap. Thirdly and finally, what kind of person can actually feel better just from breathing slowly? If you feel better just because you focused on your breathing, then I don't think you were that angry to begin with and therefore you have no right to go around annoying all the truly angry people with your heavy breathing, creep.

Excuse of the moment: The crash and hi-hat were free. The sticks were all "borrowed". The snare's only got 6 lugs when 8 is standard and my kick drum pedal is driven by elastic bands. $ 400 when the "list price" was $ 900. I still say I got ripped off and I'm selling now for $ 200. I want a Ludwig! With a Remo snare and a nice TAMA double-bass pedal. And Zildjian custom hi-hats with a nice Paiste 22" heavy Ride. But most of all, I want a performance! Keene State jazz ensemble, I can't wait!

...oh yeah, we were talking about writing books...wrong board...*heh* my bad! But yeah, I've done that. I'm gonna do it again too, this summer, along with rewriting my current book so I can find some new outlets and say "TU!" (that's "treetrunk you!" for anyone who asks) to all those who rejected me based on length. It's not size that matters after all! I'll prove that when my play I'm writing ends up on Broadway =P
