    I ran across this drum micro-pattern and it’s been burning in my mind the last couple days. It looks simple but the last half of it is quite rough at first. When I think about my limbs trying to do it, they don’t want to do it. If I can get my mind to zone out on something else, I can suddenly do it.

    Gotta remember to hunt for more of these micro-patterns.

    On the train home from our show last night, I saw someone who had on socks that said, "You are what you love."

    I was walking down a crowded sidewalk, running over the new song we were going to rehearse later on. I had to take a right to the studio, which disrupted the stride of someone behind me.

    They sighed a huge sigh, and that made me slightly forget the song for rehearsal. That pissed me off, which made me completely forget the song.

    So I let the sigh of some random person who could’ve been having the worst day ever, unrelated to me, make me forget going to play drums.

    Not worth it.
