4:56 am	Music and Sports Politics So I work In Ableton Live 7 and Digital Performer 5. ProTools is Ok, but I can't take the MBox2 with me wherever I go. the triton rack Still sounds good to me. Lately, trying to use the strings and orchestral sounds more. Here are some samples on the webpage. http://gemtone.com/original/index.html that looked so funny, the last time I posted was 249 weeks ago! That was about 2 lifetimes. I like to play jazz more than I like to listen to it. SPORTS Bellichek has no class at all, I know this is late, but when he left the field before the game ended, I thought no class. The Bears did one thing this year that they didn't do last year. they won their last game. Although not a Laker fan, they are doing well and made a good trade. How will Shaq keep up in Phoenix. I saw him early in his career and Orlando would just wait for him to make it down the court, then throw the ball to him. Lakers in Phoenix tonight. Boxing has been great the last year or so. Pavlik and Taylor, the first fight was awesome. Also the upcoming heavyweights will be fun to watch. Sam Peter is so strong, can Maskaev hold him off like Klitshko did? Valuev is so huge, how do you hit the guy? I liked Vic Darchinyan too, but after getting blasted by Nonito Donaire he's disappeared(except for a fight in Australia). yep disappeared! Politics Just what are we going to change? I just got used to things being the way they are. The country and prevailing thought has been moving more and more away from any kind of traditional values, if we change, it would be going back to more conservative ideas. Come to think of it, I liked it when we were one nation under God. (Comment on this)

3:55 am	Moy bueno Early in the morning. Waiting for my shift to end. i wonder what people did at work before the internet? i kind of remember working for the whole shift bent over a light table, or looking at a screen. I'm so glad times have changed. Sleeping a little better these days. I wake up every day and within 5 minutes am treated to the sound of a leaf blower or a lawn mower.. I can judge my mood by how i respond. Been pretty peaceful lately. I like playing the bass now. I can walk a little bit up to about 160 depending on the song. Sax is still the thing. So I should finish up my work before the end of the shift, then try to get some sleep. (3 Comments |Comment on this)

12:54 am	No problems Well, I haven't written in this in so long. I've been just going thrugh some pleasant days. No emergencies (except payiing some bills). Not many responsibilities in the day to day routine. Not overburdened. I go for walks, to the gym, work on music, eat well, watch the Universal Monsters collection of DVDs I bought. I love that stuff! Not much drama in life. Sometimes I think this is the way it was supposed to be anyhow. Maybe it's a part of life I'm in. Who knows. i'll just take it as it comes. I'm also sorry at times to hear about problems that my friends have, 2 of them have kind of disappeared lately, and I had been speaking with them every day for awhile. Others tell me about situations that would drive me nuts. But we all have our paths. (3 Comments |Comment on this)

10:42 pm	Well, I haven't made an entry in awhile. i'd actually forgotten about this except for Jo reminded me last night. I wonder if a person can learn to survive on 4 hours sleep a night for extended periods of time. I'm really thankful to my body for holding up under all the crap i put it through. Food tastes good these days too. I wonder what people do with their old candles. do they melt them and make new ones? Why do people need to be asked to be considerate? And if you have to ask them is it worth it? Oh well, back to the drawing board. (1 Comment |Comment on this)

5:24 am	Can't remember the last time I entered anything here. Life is good. Kind of mellow, no drama and i don't feel like making any for a change. i want to make a record this year but don't want to finance it myself again. So i'll just work on the songs and enjoy making the music. Knock on wood i had a good week at work too! I went dancing a cople of weeks ago and had forgotten how fun that was!. Just to be in the middle of a crowd moving around. not bad! Looking forward to my weekend off. Not real interested in the Super Bowl but I'm sure i'll end up watching it. (Comment on this)

8:17 pm	Now the holdiay season is over for me. It always extends a little because I'm so late with everything. I didn't really take time to sit and reflect all at once but it's going on now. Last year was so weird with a lot of changes. I'd like some more changes this year! I feel way better now. I think I was kind of lost between September and new yeras. But gwetting back on track. Way too much chat room time! (Comment on this)

1:15 am	I never realised this before tonight. I think I knew it but never realised. When I get home form gigs, I fell very alone. I just spent a period of time with people and enetertaining and interacting, then come home and the place is empty. Even when I was married or living with Ginny, it was like this. They'd be alseep, and at home you're home, no one wantds to be entertained really. At best they want you to do some chore for them. I remember talking to one of Frank Zappa's players once, he said the same thing. They'd play a stium with 30000 people that loved him, but at the end of the night, no one knew who you were. Of course it's not alwyas like this, but tonight it is. (2 Comments |Comment on this)

5:09 pm	Fighting a little cold for a week now. Not a bad one, just enough to hamper my routines. Holidays are good so far. Not many gigs but they pay good. No New Years Eve job yet! What will I do!?? I dreamt I was at an event and Jesus was talking in the other room. I didn't go in to hear Him. Hung 1 string of Christmas lights. Pretty pathetic! Life is good! Li (Comment on this)

9:31 pm	I played 2 christams parties this week. Both were very nice affairs. Tonihgt they invited me to eat diiner so I stayed and ate. It was kind of nice to listen to the couples at the table talking and enjoying themselves. As an entertainer, my opportunities to do that are limited. But, I ate well, was paid well and treated well, The best one can hope for in my position. I really must like it better this way. (Comment on this)

4:24 pm	Day after Thanksgiving. Didn't play too well at the company golf tourney, but learned that once I have no chance whatsoever, I enjoy myself more. Golf teaches me all the lessons I need to know about life. (1 Comment |Comment on this)
