Very elusive indeed. Running sound is cool. Even tho I didn't do it today. All that credit goes to Paul's dad. He's cool. If you ever see Paul, make sure to tell him. I'm actually throwing around the idea of sound engineering as a side career. Thad be sweet. I could make bands sound good. I was/am listening to staind again. It's a common thing. They have some lyrics that make you think. Here's some, from a song called Reality.

The lights are on but you're not home
You've drifted off somewhere alone
Somewhere that's safe,
No questions here
A quiet place where you hide from your fears

Sometimes when you're out of rope
The way to climb back up is clear
The walls you build around yourself
I guess they also keep you here
Are you afraid of what they think?
Whoever "they" happen to be
Or are you hiding from the scars of your own reality?

So you sedate and drown in vain
You've got a pill for every day
A suit and tie to mask the truth
Its ugly head is starting to show through

Sometimes when you're out of rope
The way to climb back up's unclear
The walls you build around yourself
I guess they also keep you here
Are you afraid of what they think?
Whoever "they" happen to be
Or are you hiding from the scars of your own reality?

The monster you're feeding
Your lack of perception
The things you will do
To fullfill your addiction
The light at the end of your tunnel is closing
What is it that you're so afraid of exposing?
You'd give it all up for what's their's for the taking
Whatever it takes to keep your hands from shaking
The same things you're thinking might make you feel better
The same things that probably got you here

Man, those words could totally be talking about any sin. Think aboot that one for a minute. That one thing that you can't quit? Yup. It's a good song. I'd suggest obtaining a copy of it, preferably in a legal manner. If you wanna go buy the entire cd, it's on 14 Shades of Grey. That whole cd is really good. Makes great loud car music if you have a nice stereo. I'm sure that some of their lyrics will grace the pages of this blog more than once in the future. There's not a whole lot more to say. Read that song again. Then go buy the cd. You'll like it, and if not, you can give it to a friend.
