the road less traveled
I have no idea where I got that title/quote from, but it just popped up into my head as I was getting ready to write this. As I was looking at the recent postings on the site, I couldn't help but feel alot of just sympathy for my brother Dave. Again, I look back when times were so much easier in High School, and the only things we had to worry about were if the Werner's ran out of pepsi and Mrs. Jurinski's Calculus exams. I now have so much respect for teachers, since I myself did a summer teaching job for only a month, and it still stressed the heck out of me. So I dedicate this post to our dear brother David Werner and to all those other teachers out there who deserve alot more. But there's a reason why they do it, because they have perserverance and drive to help others and that's something no one can take away from them. So, Daveed, I salute you. I also am having a hard time at my job since I absolutely hate it. I work for a company that believes in standards, honesty, and strict guidelines in the Information Technology Industry. Yet when I hear my boss curse at others, behind people's back, and their kids, I lose all respect for them. Money has turned them into greedy business men. Which is why I am going to quit after a year and maybe take a break and work on my music career. Let me know what you think. On a good note, I checked out one of Dave's links to X-Entertainment...it's freakin' hilarious. My personal fav:"The Great Pumpkin Halloween Cake Adventure, starring Whiplash and Dr. Zaius."
Okay Samurai Factoid #3: .........Okay Samurai....the original ska band? Back in the winter of '96 or so, Adam Kantor joined the band as a special guest musician for the song "Golfing w/Fish." He played the trumpet and it sounded so great that we decided to not to pursue it because we wanted to save it for later I guess. From this historic moment spawned many other great ska bands that aren't around any more since that whole scene is dead now. We love you Adam.
