My Drug of choice.........

Hey, so today I wazn't able to have a coffee cuz I waz late for work, so I waz antsy and sketchy all day, so when I got home I had a bit of a nap, then woke up, and waz jonezin' for a cup "black crack." (new phraze iz a work in progress), anywayz, az soon az I finished drinking it with no sugar or milk in it, I almost keeled over with satisfaction, I felt so good and at peace, I just had to have another cup........and so I did, I drink coffee like people smoke, if I'm hanging around and not doing anything or going for a walk to clear my head, I will grab a quick Timmy's, just for something to do, It doezn't even affect me anymore, I could drink a cup and go to bed, I like the taste of it in the morning, it lets me know that my day haz started. and If I'm in a fancy shmancy mood and can spend some doh, I'll go down to the cafe' and have a decent coffee'. Yes coffee, the drink that bindz us all, thank you Juan Valdez, you are a scollar and a poet.

Note: the drinking of coffee at 12 in the morn resulting in a blog to said drink, iz a clear indication that I am over tired, and insanity haz taken over, please do not let theze events pass false judgement on my demeanor and well being. thank you.

Full Of Joy!!

So tonite I played with Monica Joy, at Krista'z Photo Gallery opening It waz flippin' awsome. Monica had alot of versitile stuff- Some strait ahead worship sounding stuff- A cool Triplet feeling one, where Mark and I kept the triplet feel, me on the ride and Mark on the D'jambe' at about, 120bpm and then I did Hi-Hat splashez on the up beat of 4, Natasha said she liked that one,-A cool tune where I played the hell out of the D'jambe' in a kind of African style (Monica told me she loved it)- And pretty heavy tune Called " Deny My Right" which I really enjoyed rocking out too, Even a wonky Jazzish tune that waz kinda silly, but just full of shots, I only kept rhythum with my right hand on every upbeat uzing the ride, there waz lots of space in that tune, so I just played in a silly fashion, swinging my arms around creating a cool rhythmic pattern. One of the things I love the most iz the compliments I got from people on my playing, I mean, I just kinda did it, no real effort waz required, It's all about feel, but it sounded like I played with Monica for yearz people said, but it waz only a few hourz of practice before hand. I tried not to get a big head about it. I alwayz seem to get complements on my playing when ever I play infront of new people, or with new people or anybody. Now I know I'm not some crazy stellar drummer, but I'm really not ashamed to say I'm pretty damn good, and can play with the best of em', It's what I do, case closed...... I just think over the yearz I have figured out what most musicianz want, a solid drummer, that will make THEM sound better, I even know what different genre'z require, and I throw in my own "Pazazz" where I see fit. It's not hard, every genre' haz a certain road and you just have to follow it, and every musician iz a different road sign telling you where to turn, and when to stop and the speed limit. My schooling and yearz of playing haz helpes too, I also don't just listen to one style, I listen to lots of stylez and make sure to LEARN and take away something from every thing I listen to. Groove iz the key I think, it's gotta flow and groove, like pudding, mean I could go out there and play off the beat, or in a different time signature, or do fancy shmancy stuff that would all be in time, But it would not be appropriate for the music, don't do something just cuz you can, it's gotta fit. And most importantly In respect for the person your playing with or for, alwayz treat every gig like a professional gig, weather your getting paid, $1000, or not a penny just a handshake and a free CD, Everone deservez your best effort. Your not the star, they are, you are accompanying THEM.......make THEM better than they are with YOUR playing. That's my moto, I am alwayz greatful when ever I get to play, weather It's every sunday evening at 6:00 or a person who needz a bit of rhythm, they get the whole package, Adrian McFarlane reporting for duty, you only get out of it what you put in. I'll alwayz have drumming with me, it's in my blood.! Thanx for the Gig Krista!!!

Friend-ship sailing away!!!

Hmmm, where to begin?........My best friend/Bandmate->now just regular friend-> awkward tension you could cut with a knife person that livez in my house.
I heard some of Hiz bandz stuff today, while he waz playing it for my other Roommate Kaz, who he haz replaced me with. (what a fucker), I waz in the room listening too, but he didn't even agknowledge my presents, I could tell he didn't want me there cuz it waz just wierd, and he knowz that thoze are all mine and hiz songz that we made together over the yearz and until he makes something new, they alwayz will be, the damn drummer even playz all my parts.......it's wierd how a friendship can fall appart like an old shirt right at the seemz. The Band and the love of music and wanting to become rockstarz since grade 9 waz the only thing that held us together. People even refered to us az "Lenny and Carl" from the Simpsonz.......... Now we're complete strangerz, we pretty much ignore eachother at home, It's been so long since we've hungout, or I've been in hiz car for the ride home to Orangeville. No more talks, or moviez, or drinking bingez or seeing who can get the most chicks......or hiz bothersome asking me every question in the fucking world, about music, or what to wear, or school, just the stupid bullshit of everyday life.......it's all gone. There'z a big part of me that REALLY wantz to see him fail, noone really came to hiz recital at school, and he broke up with hiz bitch of a Girlfriend which iz actualy a good thing for him. He'z gonna finish school and go back to Orangeville for the rest of hiz life cuz he'z so afraid of change. He'z gonna leave the house for good in June, and I may never see him again. What the fuck iz he gonna do without me, and when he realizez that I'm not there anymore? Who'z gonna Clean up hiz puke while otherz are laughing at him for drinking too much? Whoz' gonna stick up for him and beat the shit out of any punk for him when he starts running hiz mouth after a night at the bar? Or listen to him when noone else will.... WHO? IT WAZ ME WHO DID ALL THOZE THINGZ......ME!!!!! He'z gonna walk out the front door and that's it, I may catch him IF I happen to be around at the time. I learned so much from that little dickhead, he pushed me to play thingz I thought I could never play, but he knew I could.......I don't know how he knew, but he did, I'm definatley a better musician cuz of him, he'z the only reason I went to college for music in the first place. How the Fuck am I not Good enough for Hiz band, the little shit! I'm Playing in 2 awsome bandz that are so happy to have me, and I play in with such ease, I haven't even begun to reach my max potential playing with Johnny And Elizabeth who I love playing with (Rattlesnake Inn).............I waz just sick of playing our old songz, and going nowhere with it. and hiz dominating attitude. I don't even want to salvage this relationship, we'll never talk about this cuz we're both to stupid, macho idiots, even tho he criez during the movie "I am Sam" wimp!, lol. This whole "saga" iz ending like a bad Relationship. I want it to end, I've never been good with feelingz and shit,........but maybe I'll give him a hug before he leavez me.........
