backwoodsbob's JournalI 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
to those who got *delivered the goods* Judas Priest
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.
looks like I'm going to the finals in my ff league
this is my seventh year in this league....my third finals
I have never won this league...this is my third finals.....I'm going to win it this year.
DAMNIT I'm going to win this year
it is NOT going to be a revolution
people are talking revolution or whatever....be honost
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.
Stop the revolution talk if you wont walk it
