    <content type="html">&lt;p&gt;It always bothered me for the longest time that album always needed its finishing touches on it.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Also, for the longest time I have been tinkering with the album to try to bring it to a new and different light and perspective. In this remix I have made I wanted the instruments to stand together, but also give it a darker outlook. While also not taking away any integrity from the original recording. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;This album was always very important to me because I was at a crossroad in my life at that time. So I also spent the time to clean it up a bit and not sound overbearing as well. For what I had to work with this album, it came out well. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;This is how I want others to hear this album. So I did my best to bring this album to life for all the right reasons. While also cleaning it up a bit, I’m going to stress that again! &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I will release it soon, I promise! &lt;/p&gt;&lt;a name='cutid1-end'&gt;&lt;/a&gt;</content>

    <content type="html">&lt;p&gt;I let people say and think what ever they want to about me.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; At the end of the day I’m not them, they are not me. The real ones will always behind you no matter what. No matter how and where they came from. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I know the way I went about my approach on things helped guide me along the good and bad things. It all taught me valuable lessons in life. The basics is what taught me the best lessons. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I’m not perfect by any damn means. I’ve gotten into my share of trouble. It’s all about being smart about what you are doing. Always seeing things from both sides. Thinking ahead. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I’ve paid my dues to even where I am musically. I just never made a big ass deal about it. I’m not egotistic by any means, and have met plenty. I’ve always went about things my own way. And that’s sitting back and watching others make a mess of themselves as I quietly take the next approach on it. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I don’t go about what I love from a trashed and scattered standpoint. I take total pride in everything I have done musically all my life. The real people in your life will and should always be there when they see that you met your highest potential in what ever you do. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I don’t get jealous of anyone else’s success. That’s a dull way to go about it. It’s all about support man. That’s how the gears grind. Without that, there is nothing. Take it from someone who played all their life and finally got a chance to a break at 37. Something I have always dreamt about since my early 20’s.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I didn’t stop even when times changed. My best advice is to keep pushing until you find and reach your own success. Don’t measure it at the expense of others. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;a name='cutid1-end'&gt;&lt;/a&gt;</content>

It’s coming to the point where I want a second to breathe and get away from it. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I need time for myself. I left my other job tonight because this shit is making me sick to my stomach. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;A lot of things are. A lot of things are really fucking with me. It’s fucking with me to the point where I don’t want to live anymore. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;It seems like everything I say and do comes off as a complete joke to everyone. What the fuck can I say more where you never where your time may come? &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;At this point I can care less about social media! I need to get my heart and soul right. I need to get my brain right again. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Let’s not the laugh on the day I am no longer here anymore. I’d pay to see all of your reactions then. Treat me like the lowest and you’ll get what you asked for return. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Because it’s coming really close! I left work tonight because I was literally about to go insane tonight! And the lovely thing is no one could give a shit less! &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I really could give a fuck anymore. If I didn’t have my self interests at this point, I’d probably already be gone. Because nothing or no one else could give a shit less! And so could I really! &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Fuck it man! &lt;/p&gt;&lt;a name='cutid1-end'&gt;&lt;/a&gt;</content>

I didn’t even know girls have a “boyfriend” for Christ’s fucking SAKES! That’s why I have such low confidence in even finding one right now. Because of shit like that! Well, apparently your boyfriend isn’t doing something right if you are doing all this with me and trying to get somewhere with me, MIND YOU! &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I really don’t talk a lot about things like this publicly, but this time called for it! So I will continue the single road as usual. That’s just ultra fucking irritating. And doesn’t have a good mark on things. It’s fucking unreal. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Mind you if a man gets caught doing the same thing, he will have hell to pay. But hey, all good the other way around!

My entire drumming process is dedicated to them! Please support these two wonderful ladies! The are my queens! Daddy 1 and Daddy 2! You mess with me? You deal with them! These two talented and wonderful ladies are my new world! You fuck with them, you are fucking with me then! It’s mutual! It’s you mess with me and get fucked up or you mess with them and I’ll find you! &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;On the real, these two wonderful ladies are my heart and soul in the writing process. To dedicate it, my left side of my kit had a black carpet, I dedicated my snare drum to these wonderful ladies as well, the right side of my kit will have a red carpet to transcribe blood. I went dark with my hair because it’s part of their character! I want a whole new look at the writing process! So I want to explore their darkness! &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;These two are the first of their haunt I met! They’ve been nothing but sweethearts to me. They are truly wonderful girls, and wonderful mothers! They are funny, smart , and entertaining! I wish you both nothing but love and the best! You two are the MAIN reason I am coming to your home. I feel like I’m going to end up in the jail cell, but hey, anything for both of you! You both rock as medical girls as well! I am beyond myself to meet both of you! Even more to be a part of what is becoming greatly special to both of you. And I am going to cheer you both on throughout the way! &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The beautiful and talented characters of Amelia Belle and Taisiya Zlaya-Krov’. I will always be forever grateful to stumble across you wonderful ladies, and I will always be behind you! You ladies behind the scenes really awakened my soul and heart and I am seeing it around me as a result! In return, I can’t wait to play drums for you both one day! &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Never think for a second that you both aren’t impactful! You both helped me open up doors I haven’t seen in a long ass time! I am totally proud as a fan of both of you to have a shirt of you both that no one else has! And I don’t mince my words! Keep ruling the world, because I know you two can! &lt;img src="https://ic.pics.livejournal.com/blask83/11201696/11816/11816_900.jpg" style="display: block; margin-top: 5px; margin-bottom: 5px; text-align: center" fetchpriority="high"&gt;&lt;img src="https://ic.pics.livejournal.com/blask83/11201696/12214/12214_900.jpg" style="display: block; margin-top: 5px; margin-bottom: 5px; text-align: center" loading="lazy"&gt;&lt;img src="https://ic.pics.livejournal.com/blask83/11201696/12431/12431_900.jpg" style="display: block; margin-top: 5px; margin-bottom: 5px; text-align: center" loading="lazy"&gt;&lt;img src="https://ic.pics.livejournal.com/blask83/11201696/12619/12619_900.jpg" style="display: block; margin-top: 5px; margin-bottom: 5px; text-align: center" loading="lazy"&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;a name='cutid1-end'&gt;&lt;/a&gt;</content>

    <content type="html">&lt;p&gt;I am proud I am down 6 pounds now.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; I wanted to dedicate 2020 to my mother. It’s been a tough 10 years without you here. So much has happened. I am totally shocked I lived through it when I felt dead so many times. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;There was so many time ten years ago where I just wanted to end it all. I should over the last 10 years. If it wasn’t for my dad, sister, and brother, and all my wonderful loving friends I thought I would have killer myself by drugs to this date. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Because that’s where my future was held at that time frame. It got really dark for me to the point where I didn’t care anymore and it could have costed me my own life. I remember days where they were so bad that I couldn’t tell you how the night ended. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I swung back a lot in the last 10 years. It taught me a lot too. I felt so cold and alone that whole time. I lost two things. My mother and what I thought was a awesome girl. But nope, I am back to square one. And it’s not easy at all. It hasn’t been and I don’t see that changing. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;From blackout drug and alcohol nights to now is a huge ass difference in my life. Through the dark the light taught me a lot. My rehab was catching up with old faces and souls. If that didn’t happen, I don’t think I’d be alive today. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In the face of validation, thank you to all that are still in my life today. Your hearts and souls have humbled me entirely. Thank you to my family and friends in my life, to the deepest part of me it means a lot to keep an almost dead soul to be alive today! I love you all more than you’ll ever know or realize. I will always be here to support you all. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I really used this time as a rebirth to me. The things that mean the most important to me. Don’t ever give up on the thing you love. Because the thing I learned through all of this is, you might need your talent to heal someone else. Because in the last year that’s what my valuable lesson was! &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;God bless you all, and thank you so much again for the birthday wishes! I wish the best for all of you each and every day! I will be always be here for any of you if you ever need me. Don’t ever stop telling the people you love, that you love them. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;a name='cutid1-end'&gt;&lt;/a&gt;</content>

    <content type="html">&lt;p&gt;I have always found it important to give others who know me or who have met me the real scoop on me.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; I always point to my videos and music I have done. It’s starts there really with me. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I have always been a big nerd and enjoyed the drama club and their acting. I never joined it or anything but always loved it. Should I have? Yeah looking back on it. I wanted to see it from the other side to be honest. Again you’ll be hearing me talk about the catch a lot. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;My early days were all about basketball and music. Both really intersecting in my life around the same time. I figured both things would always keep me in shape. And it always did. I find them to be the two most prominent qualities about myself. Because both levels always taught me about teamwork! I got to live two different levels on things. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;So when it came to girls it ranged from cheerleaders, to baton/ballet, to crazy rock/metal girls, girls who acted. So I always did my best to stick to my own guns. I always looked at it as, I want the girl to see what I am all about concept. I always found girls magical and creative because that’s just what they are. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;There’s no looking back at it, so on the real I’ve always wanted to do something that could make me stand out, but is so rich in tradition in my family. But my philosophy is this, a girl has the fucking magical powers to really turn anything into gold and you are going to watch it go down. Pointing in either direction! Girls run this shit man. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;And I never ever had a problem with that concept because I have always been team girl! I know in my heart I do what ever I can for them. They are on their own level and will always have that with me. They will always bring me to my knees! They are powerful man! &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;But that was love was taught and given to by my mother. I owe it to her because she would beat the shit out of me if I EVER mistreated a lady! She knocked that sense into my head really fast! Crazy Polock style lol. I still live on 10 years later by my mother’s rules and I always have my brother and sister to remind of that. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Deep down inside, I know my dad still hurts for her. His heart has never been the same since she passed away. Lately I’ve seen it in his actions. But damn it, if I was him who was married to same woman for basically their whole existence and had 3 children I’d feel the same damn way. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Really in 2020 I’ve been doing my best to keep everyone in good spirits. It’s what my mother would expect of me and it’s something that I owe to others. Right now guys we all need each other. Now is not the time to be an asshole. Be there to support the next person to the left or right of you. Open up your hearts a little more. Not everything is the end all be all. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;That’s what’s especially taught me the most in this year alone. It doesn’t cost a fucking dime to show appreciation or love to someone for what they do and what they are trying to accomplish. Be supportive! We need each other more now, than ever! &lt;/p&gt;&lt;a name='cutid1-end'&gt;&lt;/a&gt;</content>

    <content type="html">&lt;p&gt;Everyone loves to receive them.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; It still to this day is the best form of making another person, even being in that very second in time. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I hold back a lot of more that I want to say versus what I actually say. I look at this way, girls have been nothing but drowned in compliments. So I try to use my own style and method of them. I am a Taurus so I do use the subtle approach. I could be very outward about it, but the catch is the fun! &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;As of late, I will let something I admit bothers me, it sucks seeing couples of any kind with each other. I often think to myself, “where the hell did I go wrong?” It just sucks, yes. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I will always honor those who are truly in love though. Because you’ll even feel their love for each other inside yourself as well. I hope to one day find it again. It’s a want for sure, but a very selective want. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I am always careful about how approach things with girls. Maybe that’s the part that trips me up each time, but the whole matter of approach is different. I always watch out to not to be the unnecessary fool of group. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;It’s great being single, but it sucks not having a girl to come home to. I guess it’s the way she blows! (I’m only using this because I’ve heard it like 10 times over the past few days. Lol)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;a name='cutid1-end'&gt;&lt;/a&gt;</content>

    <content type="html">&lt;p&gt;Below I am going to show you how much I move around between both jobs. And to be totally honest with you, this is the best I have felt! You take care of your body, it will take care of you. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I am down 4-5 lbs in the last 3 months. It simply comes down to what you do to take care of yourself. You can eat anything you want as long as you are working on your body! &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;This chart is from this week.

    <content type="html">&lt;p&gt;People were asking and wondering what size drum stick I use.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; It’s this here in the picture. It’s an 7A Nylon. By the company NOVA. NOVA is a Vic Firth company. They are rock solid in my book! I was skeptical about them at first because I love me some Vic Firth sticks. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;They are made in Boston as where Vic Firth sticks are made. To me, the hickory wood on these are rock solid! It’s a good quality wood. With that said, when using quality like that it’s not sacrificing your sticking style and it’s not killing your hands and tearing them alive. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Only cheap wood does that. So like anything else, you get what you pay for. I love them so far. They are Louisville Slugger of drumsticks that I ever had. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;On the real, drumsticks are much like hockey players finding their perfect stick. It’s very very much the same process as well. Hockey is my favorite sport of all time so I always ending up talking to my friends that were and they always felt the relative points between the two. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I definitely suggest the NOVA brand to any drummer beginner or advanced. Or anyone who has interest in playing them. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src="https://ic.pics.livejournal.com/blask83/11201696/9989/9989_900.jpg" style="display: block; margin-top: 5px; margin-bottom: 5px; text-align: center" fetchpriority="high"&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;a name='cutid1-end'&gt;&lt;/a&gt;</content>

    <content type="html">&lt;p&gt;The only girl I ever had sex with from South Bend, my hometown is my old Hungarian Sweetheart Sarah.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; We stopped fucking with each after Sophomore year. Shit happens, you go separate ways, but the love never dies. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;She ended up dating a hockey player from the high school she went to, (we went to different high schools, but that didn’t matter at that time. I knew her since 2nd grade.) This assfucker ended up taking pictures of them having sex and spreading it around their school. I’ll never forget the terror she took from that. She showed me them. It’s not like we didn’t see each other naked before. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;If I went to that high school when that happened it wouldn’t of went down that way. Point of regret: not being able to be there for her at the time, in that school screwed shit up so much in that scenario. I remember wanting to leave my school to go there. She called me crying about it. I remember I didn’t focus on school that day. I remember me being the one that was there for her at the end of our school day at our schools. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I remember us being adults as well and me going to pick her up from a dangerous dude. That was my Catholic Queen. I would do it for he today if she ever got ahold of me to.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;We still talk in our different paths to this day. Why? Because we will always love each other! She’s the only girl that REALLY knows me. I don’t have to put a mask on to talk to her. It’s just not my game. I talk about my life. And what goes down in it. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Really it’s because of her that I can go out to this day and still love other ladies! She was my precursor as to what I can still find. And I have since. Just not recently in the last 5 years. I’m no stranger to the game itself. It’s crazy how much the game has changed. Hell, I just want to find a lady to truly love and HANG OUT with again because it seems that’s not how it works these days.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;We all have our own vices! If I could find ONE in today’s world that meets those same vices I have in life, it’s about as easy as it gets. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I’ll even spit a secret, my last 3 lady relationships/whatever the hell you want to call them, were ALL Aries girls! Why? I don’t know. I don’t see it as intentional, I guess those are the ones I attract. And that’s fine! They were the funnest times I’ve ever had! Looking back. They are truly full of love! They are dedicated on a different level than other girl signs. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;And the catholic school girl her name is Sarah was also born April 15th. So actually 4. I don’t get it because I am a Taurus. I thought the two signs clashed? In some cases they do. Because it’s like with the fun came the crazy? Crazy became lol madness! Really again, they are fun girls! It’s just weird how that is the lucky charm in my case, to be honest! &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I will say this though, this goes back to the catholic school girlfriend Sarah to even recent fucking day crazy enough, that Aries girls are the hottest out of them all! And to say this as well, which I consider honorable, is not a single one of them ever complained about me being a drummer. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Sarah fell for me because of me just that! In return, I’ve met some really bad ass Aries chicks in my overall day! They are all doing bad ass things! Like being there to save the world and save others. I’ll call it out! Meeting Sarah back in 2nd grade and always having a loving connection with her, I always called her and still my guardian Angel! She knows she’s my Hungarian Queen! I know the era we shared was real! She will always be Aries One! And technically she is 15 days older than I am. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Laura the latest, March 21st. The craziest one! Yet she did some bad shit in the end, she was still loving to me. I’m glad it’s over, but she was crazy. She was the Italian Red Head. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Michelle is number 3 out of 4. I met her right after Laura. Like maybe 3 months after the end of her really. We use to work together and she really didn’t hold her feelings back for me. It was like a grab the hands and run kind a scenario. But she always showed me love and crazy times ablazed for sure! She is my first black girl experience! &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The 4th one is one I met after Sarah. Her name is Crystal and she is one of the most beautiful Mexican girls I ever met EVER! We had a lot of fun too! There is no shame in the game of my story tonight! Lol I’m truly am sorry to put it that way! But it’s my past! &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Sorry I am being so detailed about it though. To me? All women have their beauty to them! I love me some girls! Now I just need THEE girl! I’m Polish, and it doesn’t matter what you are! I still hope for it one day! If my brother can find it, so can I. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Girls will always have a higher priority on a different level than my guy friends. They are a different breed, and they deserve nothing but my love in return. I’m a momma’s boy and I miss her deeply. Women have always been my important side! For them, I am lover before the fighter with them. Unless I have to fight for them! Then sure, all day fucking long! &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;It made sense when a coworker of mine told me that turning 37 is good age. It’s something I sure as fuck wasn’t ready for lol. Because I don’t what ever 37 is suppose to feel like. Sure it’s 10 days away, but I get it what she said. I’m like in the middle of both sections. Well 3 technically. The girls in their 20’s, 30’s, and 40’s. Those are not my words by the way. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I never looked at it that way since I haven’t had anything really special in the last 5 years or so, but I see the point of it! And that makes me happy! Because Brandon is never going to lie, all three sections, 20’s girls, 30’s girls, and the 40’s girls are all pretty bad ass! You are all beautiful! Never forget it! I know I am living in the best era ever! With some of the hottest chicks I have ever seen! But what makes them hot to me is what they are passionate for and how they carry their own lives! I give total fucking props to you ladies, most of you are doing it on your own! It makes you ladies even hotter! &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;a name='cutid1-end'&gt;&lt;/a&gt;</content>

    <content type="html">&lt;p&gt;A secret about this Hi-Hat cymbals purchase is this is the newer Ziljian model of the Hi-Hit cymbals that were on my drum teacher’s drum set in his studio when I was a kid. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The picture from afar gives it an unconvincing look at it. It’s not until I zoomed in on this photo and realized that they were the exact same ones he uses. They are the Ziljian A Custom Dyno Beat Hi-Hats. The MSRP at around 300. I am getting them for 130. eBay has been my best friend as of late.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;It’s a scary coincidence!

    <content type="html">&lt;p&gt;It’s fucking Amazing how asshole dudes think these days.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; To some degree, it seems like that’s what the ladies love. And you know what? Let me scare you for a moment to all the asshole dudes out there! &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Isn’t it funny how I can have any female friend come by my home, and I turn it into her place? She has 100% reign to my home. And she can grab what ever the hell she wants. Why is it so hard for dudes to get that? Did you NOT have a fucking MOTHER in your life? &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I always got along with the ladies because I made my place their place! You fucking put them first! It’s also funny how all these jealous ass boyfriends are going crazy over their ladies (my best friends since my mother’s passing) think they are coming over my home to do the nasty with me! They are my friends first damn it! But I will let you think that! Maybe you need to treat your lady better then! If that’s the conclusion you are coming to.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;It’s a fucking sad way of thinking. These ladies have been my friend since my mom’s passing. That’s your bad for thinking that way guys. That tells me that you aren’t doing your fucking job to keep them happy. That’s not my fucking issue “guys.” &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;It’s not my damn fault that my lady friends want to stop by my home to see me. But think what you want. Because for all you know, who’s to fucking say that you aren’t doing the right thing? Don’t worry about me. I’m not doing anything to your ladies. Quit with the bullshit already! Do what you have to do to PLEASE your fucking lady! Worry about that first before worrying about me! &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I always grew irritated to that. Don’t fucking worry, my PENIS remains in my pants! Fucking assholes! &lt;/p&gt;&lt;a name='cutid1-end'&gt;&lt;/a&gt;</content>

So was my uncle Dennis. His son, my Mom’s brother.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;My Mom’s other brother my uncle Don is also a drummer. My Dad is also a drummer as well. His brother John is an Accordion and Keyboard/Piano player. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;My Uncle Dennis and Don has an all Polish music band. Polish music has been in my blood since the beginning. Even to this day I will still listen to it. It’s the first thing musically I ever heard because I come from that family. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;When I was a kid there were a lot of AM Polish music stations. Living near Chicago we had a lot of these AM stations as well that played Polish music for several hours. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;It kept me in tune as a person and kept my heritage front and center which I always appreciated later on growing up. Because our old neighborhood was FULL of them. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I grew up in a Polish neighborhood along with Mexicans and Hungarians. Myself as a kid we all became a close knit group. We always had each other’s backs at all times. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Always growing up with girls in our neighborhood, including my sister Amy and cousin Jamie, ALL the boys protected them ALL. That was my first taste of unity.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;We ALWAYS took care of each other. And that’s something I will always take with me forever as I live! It was like a combo mob lol. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;We all would listen to Polish music in my neighborhood. Most of us went to Catholic schools in the area. That’s just where I our parents sent us. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;We all knew each other going to school dances and what not. We all learned unity and love! It’s the same thing I wanted to implement in my own music with others, and others in general. To be unified again. That’s what I fucking miss.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I still have these same friends on my Facebook page to this day. The same ones that spent the time to chill and listen to Polish music hour with me! They will forever be my heart! We protected each other. And the love will never die on that note. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Looking back on it they taught me to be the best man I can be to this day, regardless of the shit that happened through time. It’s always an instant smile to my heart. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;So that’s what I wanted to share. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;a name='cutid1-end'&gt;&lt;/a&gt;</content>

    <content type="html">&lt;p&gt;This picture will give you an idea of where my stick focus was on this drum head. To be fair this same drum head was on this first snare for about 14 years. It’ll be sad to know she is now the hall of famer of my snare drums, but she needs to be reworked on. She was on my 2007 recording and played at many of my shows in the past. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src="https://ic.pics.livejournal.com/blask83/11201696/7057/7057_900.jpg" style="display: block; margin-top: 5px; margin-bottom: 5px; text-align: center" fetchpriority="high"&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</content>

    <content type="html">&lt;p&gt;This is the drum head that is going on top of her as well. She is going to be loud and very bouncy and quick reacting. I’m looking forward to that as well. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;She is Remo Fiberskyn 3 drum head. My drum teacher always used them on his snares and they were always incredible in sound quality and reaction time. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src="https://ic.pics.livejournal.com/blask83/11201696/6889/6889_900.jpg" style="display: block; margin-top: 5px; margin-bottom: 5px; text-align: center" fetchpriority="high"&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</content>

    <content type="html">&lt;p&gt;So snare 2 is now snare 1. RIP to her already and she didn’t even get to me. She had a crack in her shell. She didn’t pass Quality Control. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Coven is on her way tomorrow! She will be interesting as well. She has a deeper shell than I am used to playing. I want her to scream and sing! She is going to be the loudest snare I’ll have. Low key I was excited about her tone and bark when she arrived! Her arrival! My heart is beating out of my chest for her arrival! &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The snare I have now that is setup is maple as well. So I am carrying that torch over to the new one. I am just super excited about playing Coven because she is a Mapex snare drum and I have always loved their drum company. All the way down to the look and sound. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;She is all black and everything I wanted at first glance as well. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src="https://ic.pics.livejournal.com/blask83/11201696/6453/6453_900.jpg" style="display: block; margin-top: 5px; margin-bottom: 5px; text-align: center" fetchpriority="high"&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</content>
