if it weren’t for drugs and whacky broads
is one of my heartless taglines. i pretty much say because of one or the other i’ve seldom had to pay retail for any music gear. someone is unloading something or other – always – because they need scratch for the head, or their woman won’t let them out in a bar alone. i guess [...]

i feel like i have a couple of things that i’m keeping under control, but a bit up in the air at the same time right now. and a few things that are slipping. one for instance is the workouts. i’m hovering at 182lbs (yay), and getting in maybe two a week with no hockey [...]
