I normally don't

I normally don't look through garbage but today a neighbor of ours was moving out and tossed out some old records! So being curious I looked through them, Stevie Nicks,Alice Coopers Greatest hits, Van Halen 1984, and bunch of other I've heard of. Now if they play or not is something to be seen.

Thank You Neil Peart

I know he will never read this but...
Over the past couple of years I started reading as enjoyment and to pass time on breaks at work. I always hear that Neil Peart wrote books so, I picked up one "Ghost Rider" the road to healing. Oh my he puts you right next to him in his travels. Its not a book about drums or drumming ( I know he has written a few as well).
For Christmas I asked for "Roadshow" another one from him this one about his travels on the bands "R30" tour across the U.S.A. and Europe. This man is a master of words and keeping you up to date on his emotions. I am going to work on reading more of his books and over the course of reading his books I've come to really like RUSH, not that I didn't like them before I now appreciate them more and him more as a human than a untouchable "Rockstar".
I would urge anyone to pick up a copy a try it on for size. He is truly a master of more than just drums, he is a master of written word.
Again Thank You Mr. Peart! I am a true fan of all of your work. I look forward to reading more for him(you, if you by any chance read this).

Venting

A couple things I need to get out off my chest!
1. I've come to a point in my life were people I've made friends with in the past and don't want to call and hang out or just flat out won't return phone calls. I stopped makeing the effort for it to be a relationship.
2. This goes with (1). This girl in high school I had a crush on, used me for rides to the mall and to her boyfriends house and all over the world. I did get to take her to the Prom and Senior ball(whipdy). I found out shes pregnant. I'm cool with that but she is VERY petite. I have a feeling shes going to have a hard time with the pregnancy.
3. I guess I'm cutting my loses! Good luck to me!
