We went out a few places last night and had a good time. Drumming for months straight has gotten that guy in pretty good shape. We saw <em>Birth<\/em> which had its good and bad points. It kept reminding me of <em>Rosemary&#8217;s Baby<\/em> throughout. We stopped by this Goth Club later in the night. The cover was $10, but I was charged $15 for not &#8220;dressing Goth.&#8221; Correct me if I am wrong, but isn&#8217;t a large portion of that community composed of people who banded together because they and others perceived them as different and they didn&#8217;t &#8220;fit in.&#8221; Other groups of people&nbsp;may even seclude them purposely. Isn&#8217;t it sad that once these people get their own large cohesive community of Xerox &#8220;non-conformity,&#8221;&nbsp;<strong>some<\/strong>&nbsp;of them jump at the chance to seclude non-members just as they were once&nbsp;secluded. Fuck, stupid me, I thought a community where everyone accepted each other would be a much better idea, but what do I know?<\/p>\n<p>I got <strong>DDR Extreme<\/strong>. It always takes a few weeks for me to get into a new release of DDR, but I will never dig this new ugly inefficient amateurish interface Konami instilled. Bring back the old system please. I also like that they continue to add a few disco tunes each time, but I wish they would add more that are actually danceable, not <em>YMCA<\/em>. The whole reason for the stupid hand dancing in that song is because the beat is not danceable at all. I also wish Konami would quit adding so many slow songs. I don&#8217;t want to slow-dance to DDR. That&#8217;s for pre-teens hoping to cop a feel on a girl&#8217;s ass who is taller than him for a few more months. I want more fast tunes like <em>Rhythm &amp; Police<\/em> and <em>Breakdown<\/em>.&nbsp;Those two get me jazzed. I also haven&#8217;t played much over the last 6 months so my skills have dropped considerably. Hopefully having the new mix will inspire me to remedy that.<\/p>\n<p>I started work on <strong>Crow Clock Shorts #5<\/strong>. Expect that soon. Then, it is back to work on <strong>Dexterity<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Here is a pic of my friend Bryan&#8217;s kick-ass Halloween costume (he made it):<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fourchinnigan.com\/webstuff\/voltron001.jpg?w=625&#038;ssl=1\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>is back in town now that his tour has ended.
