Man, I slept in till after 3 this afternoon, and that was awesome. So I lazily got up, ate some lunch, then headed over to band practice. That went well...we discussed going into the studio (ie, going over to Evyl's since he has the better recording equipment), so we're gonna do that in the next few weeks. We worked pretty hard on a lot of songs, which got kinda brutal for me. There are two songs that are on the upper half of my range, and that just kills my throat after doing each several times back to back. So I guess I need to do some better warmups, or at least practice more throughout the week.
We finally started work on "Give Me Back My Drugs" and that was pretty cool. It's interesting to play, because it switches from 4/4 to 5/4 every other measure throughout the verse (basically there's a pause at the end of each phrase). It sounds badass, so I think this is gonna be cool. As a side note, the song isn't referring to hard 'drugs', but about people that have to use behavioral drugs to live. There's an interesting backstory to it, but anyways. Welcome to the world where just about everyone is on something for some problem. I seriously thought about it the other night, and in a way I guess I'm pretty damn lucky that I've gotten through most of my life without needing any chemical help. "Chemicals keep me under control..." Nope, not me.
Got an email back from Chris...we're going to hang out tomorrow night after work and watch RAW, lol (told him I had no one to watch wrestling with once me and Jacob broke up) and maybe go out to get some dinner and some drinks beforehand. So it'll be great to see him again.
So, gonna watch some American Dad, talk to my boy, then head to bed so I can get some overtime in tomorrow at work. Allllllllllriiiiiiiiiiiight.
