Avery the Child drummer

he is good

I know music vids are frowned upon but PLEASE let this stand...James Durbin

My hero..My legend
James is an Aspy who also has tourettes....who killed it on American idol.

I thought he deserves a thread here.

One of my favorite Durbin songs




On edit...I horribly made my point.
So many in our society write off anyone we don't consider average or someone who fits in...we dismiss anyone who doesn't fit our mold of productive and conforming....far too often we marginalize those who make us uncomfortable...those who don't fit into our boxes.....James blows those molds away.

James faced us and blew us away with my favorite music genre...but much more importantly...he makes us face ourselves...our beliefs...our stupid preconcieved notions.

James changed everyone who understood what he was standing there doing...he proved himself and in doing so dared us to prove ourselves.
I LOVE James Durbin...he has more guts than anyone on this board...myself included

the best Christmas ever for me

It really is.
A year ago me and the wife were ready to divorce over her at that time sorry ass son and his boyfriend living with us and not helping with anything...neither worked...neither would help around the house.I threw a fit and told them both they needed to get it together and moved out...one is 25...the other is 34


A YEAR LATER

The kid just finished his time to get his Pharm tech license ...his boyfriend is working as a financial consultant........between them they should make 100k this coming year.
The kid bought me my sought after albert lee mother of pearl on a white music man guitar
His boyfriend bought me an official leather nfl lions jacket

They both said thank you...My leaving was a wake up call to them.

I'm so proud of BOTH my kids today

ok I'll be the one who asks...what did everyone score for Christmas?

I had a banner year.
Albert Lee Music Man Guitar
Lions Leather Jacket
Damascus steel German Boker Lockblade.

My toy though is this

http://www.amazon.com/B%C3%B6ker-Boker-Magnum-Knife-Sharpener/dp/B00HQBMK7W

A cheap little magnum knife sharpener

That thing absolutely put a razors edge on every knife I tried it on.

How'd you guys do?

got me a new Peavey Albert Lee LPS Music Man Guitar for xmas

Wife gave it to me this morning.......I dont want to think about what she paid for it.

I scored ....she searched hard for this one.Mother of pearl on a white background...she paid for this one.

I LOVE Music Man guitars...they have a unique sound....neither fender or gibson sounds quite like them.

How many here are willing to be killed for the cause?

HOW MANY HERE are willing to take a bullet for the cause?...I would guess not one single person.
