I wonder how long i
can keep it up posting every night this week.  knowing me, this will be the
last one in a row.  but who knows.  tomorrow, i need to go shopping
for a new set of cases for some of my equipment.  i want to get 2 smaller
cases so it’s easier to carry my stuff.  visitors to our show saturday
night will notice a new speaker system.  i hope it works well.  if i
can find some cases i like tomorrow, i can transport it all in my car i think.
that’s great.  and these new speakers rock, even rivaling my jbl’s.
and i can pick them up without giving myself a hernia, almost anyway.  hmmm
i’m playing our last show on them now to see how it sounds, and its real nice.
i have to pump up the bass though since they dont produce as much bass as the
jbl’s.  one day i’ll get a set of subs to go with these speakers.  and
another amp.  i wish i had about 3000 dollars and i’d be happy.  i
could have a nice nice setup.  ahh well.  i’m debating on whether to
record our last show into the computer or not.  i’m leaning towards not.
we cant keep recording and recording.  what’s gonna be the point when we
get a hundred copies of the same song?  i’ll probably record Saturdays
show, there’s gonna be some new songs we haven’t played yet.  i might even
take out my feedback destroyer of the loop, it’s breaking up some sounds i dont
want it to.  did you know front page gives a suggesting spelling of gonad
for the word gonna?  gonad.  hmm i just found a guy selling some racks
used.  i sent him a desperate email to tell him i’d come to his house
tomorrow to get them if the price was right.  otherwise, i might just go
without the racks for this show and do it like i did when we were starting out.
just being careful and taking it one at a time.  cept, my cd player is
really designed to be rack mounted.  gonads.  ahh well.  in case
you didnt know, i publicize on
www.raleighmusic.com, and we have a fan mailing list.  visit
groups.yahoo.com and search for the singermercy group.  i even mailed out a
snail mail letter earlier this week to one member who didn’t have email.
i’m still hungry.  i only ate a peanut butter and jelly sandwich tonight
for supper.  think i’ll see what i can scoop up.

the
hubble has sent
its new pictures since it had it’s recent upgrade.  it is naive and foolish
for one to say aliens do not exist.
just look at this picture.
notice that huge galaxy there the pic is centered on?  now, naive one, look
in the background at the zillion other galaxies just sitting there in the
distance.  some so small they are a speck.  some close enough to see
in detail the spiraling arms of it.  imagine the ones that are too far away
to see in the picture.  imagine centering the image on one of these
galaxies and noticing the endless background images again.  and so on and
so forth.  how much of a wrinkle in time do you know?  lets just pose
this question.  what if the universe is a big loop.  and one of the
galaxies you see there in the picture is actually our own galaxy?  how does
that change your outlook?

ok, this one was
just too funny
