I bought gas yesterday. $4.09 for a gallon gas. Yep you read it correct.
San Diego has the highest gas prices in the country. I guess its the punishment for choosing to live here. FOUR DOLLARS AND NINE CENTS!! Its no secret we are on the way to 5 bucks a gallon or more. Europe has been dealing with the gas crunch a lot longer than we have. When I saw the prices there last fall I thought, well at least we're not there yet. That gap closed too quick. I worked a gas station when I was 16 years old. Gas cost 25 cents a gallon then. Customers raised holy hell with me, the kid pumping gas, when it went up to 27 cents a gallon. I worked that job when the country did odd even rationing . Nixon was the President. I learned a lot about people working that job, good and bad. Things could get pretty ugly but I never quit. I needed the money to buy gear so I could play music. I think I made $3 buck an hour. I thought it was good money. That was all that matter to me at the time. Buying that snare drum or cymbal at 8th street music. or at Benny's in Northeast Philly like all my other pals did in the day.
For all the greatness the USA has to offer we are so in the tank. I should be glad I own a few bikes. I hope some one can turn this country around. I'm an optimistic person and believe it will happen. I'm not the most patient though. So if you read my blog. Vote.. We need a change.
Sam just got home from school. I'm sitting here typing a blog. He has a swim meet this afternoon. We'll be there. He's warming up by listening/blasting Pantera and Crazy Train by Ozzi . It mellows him out. His room is pulsing. Did I do that when I 17?? Yeah I did. It's his last year of high school. He's going to school in Arizona U of A and I'll miss moments like this very one. I'm just hanging in my living room and he's in there rockin'. My dog Aussie ate a star fish the other day.. He's a dog, don't ask. He's laying in front of of me not a care in the world. I want to be a dog. I think my dog is part pig.. He's got the worst case of gas and he's really letting me have it. Also, it is hot here today. In the 90's. Nice day and I'll get over the gas thing. Don't know about Aussie's. That poor star fish.
Life is too short.

I'm trying to get use to typing on a blackberry with my fat drummers fingers. I'm challenged enough on my laptop. It's 3pm and I'm sitting in the jacuzzi at the development where we live.
I'm on community guard duty. It appears that the local hitler youth are reeking havoc so our association has asked for volunteers to hang at the pool for 2 hrs once a week. Tami volunteered, so what the hell am I doing here.
Guess I'll be playing cop drummers security.company inc..you may be thinking what kind of neighborhood do you Ilve in?? It's a nice one. But dudes will be dudes especially the garden variety teenager.
There's no one in the pool area. Just me on my blackberry and the Michael Connelly book The Black Ice.ah some one has to do it. I'll manage.

I received an email by someone that was at the show in DC. He said, dude you were playing in the dark. I told the guy its the economy taking its bite out of rock n roll or Acoust A Roll and the band is doing our part to save energy. Just trying to be ECO sensitive. Even considering playing using solar powered equipment. I'm toying with playing air drums. No cymbals, maybe just singing my drum parts.. My favorite these days because of last week .. If the records doing well I'll have lights, if its not doing well, look for me in the dark or not.
