Sore!

I drummed tons of tough songs tonight and got really sore. I've definitely gotten a lot better at the drums lately. Some things I used to think were impossible I can get through with ease now, and some things I didn't even want to try I can give a really good showing on. I made some videos of me playing which I might post, but I'm not sure they're that good or interesting.

Tomorrow I'm going to get up around noon and head over to a music store in Fords which is extremely close to me. They're having a free Buddy Holly tribute and Nicole Atkins will be there. I feel like a stalker mentioning her in both of my entries now, but come on, it's like 15 minutes from me, and it's free.

I had on the news today and they were talking about how the Republican Party voted its first black person as the head of their national commitee or whatever. First of all, I am sick of all this talk about first black, first woman, first whatever. I think of these guys as people who are simply qualified and I can't wait until we get to the point where we can stop jerking off to the fact that we have more diversity in politics or whatever it may be. These guys are no more different from me or you than anyone else. They're just people. We're the same goddamn species. Anyway, I hope that no one is thinking that he was elected just because he's black; it's more like, he was as qualified as the next guy and it's just sad that it even has to be an issue in way at all that he's black. People will tell you that this is a sign of change for the republicans, but come on now. It's aesthetics. Let the man succeed or fail on the merits of his actions, not on the wow factor of his genetics.
