2010 Learnings
Yeah yeah, I know... it's almost February but I figured this was still worth posting.
1. A male lemur is called a dictator.
2. I don't want to live in the Netherlands.
3. Finnish concerts rule because Finns hate touching each other.
4. I can sing and play guitar at the same time.
5. It's possible to have a 2cm chunk of bone hacked out of your jaw and take only Advil for pain.
6. In WWII, tanks parked over soldiers' foxholes and gassed them with their exhaust.
7. It's possible to go to a show after having surgery that same morning.
8. I can take my scuba mask off 27 feet underwater and NOT have a panic attack.
9. Feeding fishies hot dogs while diving is fun.
10. Diving in silty water can be the most claustrophobic experience ever.
11. Screaming at your neighbors repeatedly can actually get them to stop misbehaving.
12. It's possible to have a corporate job and not have sold your soul.
13. It's never too late to start a new band.
14. The book "The Wolfen" is even better now that I've been to NYC since I last read it.
15. John Carpenter's "The Thing" (1982) still holds an ocean's worth of water even after 28 years.
16. It's possible to complete your dreams.
17. It's better to take a risk than to stay in old habits for the sake of safety.
18. It wasn't me, it was them.
19. Do something about your situation or shut the fuck up.

Amen x 6.66! I just saw The Thing for the first time! It was amazing. I saw Invasion of the Body Snatchers, the 1978 one, right afterwards for more replicant goodness!
Keep practicing. It's all about the picking hand.
Amen...especially #19.
This is a fabulous list. And a reminder to read The Wolfen again.
