Freudian Shoes?

 Finals night, Madison, WI, DCI.
I’m putting on the fancier pair of tennis shoes that I was going to wear to the stadium.  I was standing next to my Troopers duffel bag, noticed something odd, and then it hit me:
I have Trooper shoes.
Seriously, the shoes are the exact same color scheme as the Troopers uniform.  I [...]

Thoughts About What I Like

I know that people look at me funny when I talk about how there’s at least one drum corps show a year that’s “Better Than Sex”.  I usually follow it up with a, “Yes, I know how that sounds.”  But it’s true.
One of the points of sex is the pleasure of the release.  All of [...]

Random Updates

I haven’t been posting in a while, because of work and other things (like [On The 50](http://www.onthe50.com)!), so here’s what’s new in the last couple of weeks:
1. I’ve been in a real personal improvement kick lately. My trainer put me on a pseduo-Atkins diet, and I’ve seen a real improvement in only a week. [...]

New Website!

I’m still around, but I’ve changed my focus a little bit. Right now, I’m getting into the whole podcasting thing with my new creation On The 50. Those of you who are not drum corps fans (go see a show, already!) may not get much out of it, but at least you can [...]

Did I mention that I’m going to take those shows and record them with my own audio program, effectively keeping all of them for free?  They offer high quality [...]

Out, Out, Damn Spot!

Now that I’m taking serious steps towards removing the patch of freckling resulting from my years in drum corps, the first step is going to be applying a creme every night. The material that came with the prescription said to AVOID THE EYES!!!, so guess where the edges of the patch extend?
That’s right, around [...]

Drum Corps Speculation

DCI just announced that they’re going to have a special thru-the-years movie broadcast this April with the lineup chosen by the fans. I’ll be going if I can, because I want to support the policy that they started last summer when they broadcast (most of) Quarterfinals live.
But what will they be showing? They’re [...]

Yes, I am drunk

It’s the day before Thanksgiving. I’m allowed.
I’m also drunk enough to watch my DCI DVDs for the first time. VANGUARD!!!
