My playing may seem similar to the previous videos but there really has been a difference.<br /><br />Second, The song is simple because it's best to start simple so I won't really say I wrote it. It's a pretty common riff.<br /><br />Third, I played all the parts. No! Seriously, I did. When I finally had the realization that the recording software I had, My computer and my ability to "hook shit up" could make a better video I did it.<br /><br />This should explain the sound quality but I assure you I am playing the drums, bass and guitar.<br /><br />I did rip off the drum lick though.<br />It's the drum lick from Van Halen's"Little Guitars" off of their album Diver Down.<br /><br /><br /><iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.blogger.com/video.g?token=AD6v5dzTz_VeNA82fYsUgiZpjMiPSOI0fAAJbRz2Wful3fvmMKP3VtKTdXZziSDH54Cayp04r6V0SF_xiPZe2hRjJw' class='b-hbp-video b-uploaded' frameborder='0'></iframe>Son of a Thomashttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08149887319793228891noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3257244942641384925.post-51608112196810953502010-10-09T16:21:00.002-04:002010-10-09T16:31:50.030-04:00Remember when.<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgijAPV1QsUwypfOxh2r7amrEJnLCbhBgwxlu3gpgDTN_1v9vbgr9zPJ01vq2dNUkbdjREqqEAkULZiEjqIXUC9uRtkiBrqvx0Fw4ynTE5reaKGb9wV4tRfE4t1KO6fqROTp8t25BC86bQ/s1600/remember.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 267px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5526146607843401426" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgijAPV1QsUwypfOxh2r7amrEJnLCbhBgwxlu3gpgDTN_1v9vbgr9zPJ01vq2dNUkbdjREqqEAkULZiEjqIXUC9uRtkiBrqvx0Fw4ynTE5reaKGb9wV4tRfE4t1KO6fqROTp8t25BC86bQ/s400/remember.jpg" /></a><br /><div>Hey I am sure everybody remembers this;</div><br /><div></div><div><a href="http://sonofathomas.blogspot.com/2009/02/its-so-dark-in-there.html">http://sonofathomas.blogspot.com/2009/02/its-so-dark-in-there.html</a></div><br /><div></div><div>or this;</div><br /><div></div><div><a href="http://sonofathomas.blogspot.com/2009/03/piece-of-crap-no-2.html">http://sonofathomas.blogspot.com/2009/03/piece-of-crap-no-2.html</a></div><br /><div></div><div>Well guess what??????</div><br /><div></div><div>Another one is coming your way.

Each breed has it's own particular temperament and within that, each dog it's own quirks. With that said; allow me to introduce Mr. Barkley. I can't tell you what he weighs but what ever it is it's solid.<br /><br />Barkley is up for adoption (my wife runs a rescue) and we found out about a month ago Barkley LOVES water. Particularly the swimming pool. Unfortunately, the pool has a vinyl liner and one tear was enough to decide Barkley can no longer go in the pool.<br /><br />But not to worry. My wife has a pool in the dog yard and it's now up and running.<br /><br />Enjoy.<br /><p><iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.blogger.com/video.g?token=AD6v5dyDp9yqsZ-N4snqJYU-jkUOkc4i8UmNzUIRJyYrOcijX8WoxtSkgREKY4pSFpXfYo4lFXdBBm94537SpyDiww' class='b-hbp-video b-uploaded' frameborder='0'></iframe></p><p>I hope whomever adopts him loves water too.</p>Son of a Thomashttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08149887319793228891noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3257244942641384925.post-6362973133612274352010-07-21T18:50:00.002-04:002010-07-21T18:53:09.042-04:00Like funny Ha!

Bizarre. Completely bizarre. I would have never expected job hunting to be so tough and frustrating but it is and now it's just plain weird.</div><br /><div></div><div>You want an example.........here ya go. One month ago I found a job posting about a broadcasting job in Virgina.</div><br /><div></div><div>The job announcement headline stated <strong><em>"Seeking Host with News & Sports Experience for Mornings<span style="color:#000000;">" </span></em></strong></div><br /><div><span style="color:#000000;">and I thought to my self this seems interesting read on. </span></div><br /><div></div><div>The body of the of the announcement states " <strong><em>Our idea candidate is experienced at delivering news, information and local content."</em></strong></div><br /><div>And now I say to myself "I have done exactly that, this may be the job for me."</div><br /><div></div><div>Further more, the announcement stated <strong><em>"Individuals with News/Talk experience strongly encouraged to apply. EOE"</em></strong></div><br /><div><strong><em></em></strong></div><div>Holy Crap that's me, that's exactly me. So I went about sending my resume, cover letter, picture (don't ask, but many broadcast employers want a photo) and necessary links to my web pages etc. </div><br /><div></div><div>About a week goes by and I hear nothing but the job is posted again. I reapply.</div><br /><div></div><div>2 more weeks go by and I hear nothing and the job is posted again and this time I'm like WTF. </div><br /><div></div><div>Now in situations like this, the majority of broadcasters wanted ads clearly state <strong><em>"DO NOT CALL".</em></strong> This particular ad did not state that directive but I wondered if I should be so bold.</div><br /><div></div><div>I decided against it but did the next best thing. I emailed the party who was in charge of hiring. We will call her "<strong>Lady DI</strong>." In my e-mail I let her know that I was curious about the status of my resume and what may or may not have sparked her interest.</div><br /><div></div><div>I left her with my contact info once again.</div><br /><div></div><div>She called me a half an hour later. This is a brief part of our conversation.</div><br /><div></div><div><strong>Lady Di:</strong> Your resume said you wrote and announced news by conducting interviews, gathering police reports, press releases, the Associated press wire and breaking news coverage.</div><br /><div></div><div><strong>Me:</strong> That is correct.</div><br /><div></div><div><strong>Lady Di:</strong> Well that seems pretty small market.</div><br /><div></div><div><strong>Me:</strong> How do you expect the news to be gathered?</div><br /><div></div><div><strong>Lady Di:</strong> Well, The AP wire and we have several LARGE news papers in this area.</div><br /><div></div><div><strong>Me:</strong> So you want me to report other peoples news?</div><br /><div></div><div>The conversation gets better.</div><br /><div></div><div><strong>Lady Di:</strong> You sent me a link to you web site where you had done a bunch of interviews. That did nothing for me.</div><br /><div></div><div><strong>Me:</strong> Your ad said you wanted someone with talk show experience. The web site is a sample of my talk show.</div><br /><div></div><div><strong>Lady Di:</strong> We won't be doing interviews.</div><br /><div></div><div><strong>Me:</strong> I also sent you a link to my opinion and caller interactive material.</div><br /><div></div><div><strong>Lady Di:</strong> I don't plan on having a lot of that on this show.</div><br /><div></div><div><strong>Me:</strong> Then I don't believe I understood your ad. You requested someone with news and talk experience but you won't be using any of those talents in your morning show?</div><br /><div></div><div><strong>Lady Di:</strong> No. I am kinda creating this position and I need someone who can flow seamlessly from music to news.</div><br /><div></div><div><strong>Me:</strong> Be honest, did you just think my stuff sucked and you want to let me down easy?</div><br /><div></div><div><strong>Lady Di:</strong> No you are very good I just don't think you fit what I am looking for.</div><br /><div></div><div><strong>Me:</strong> So 15 years News and Talk experience doesn't fit what you are looking for. I will have to re-read your ad. </div><br /><div></div><div>And there you have it. I wish I could say I embellished the story or wrote it in a way to make my self seem like the wiser yet victimised character in this little life play but after 15 years of News/Talk, I am pretty good a remembering conversations and their content.</div><br /><div></div><div>I guess Virginia will never know.</div><br /><div></div><br /><div></div>Son of a Thomashttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08149887319793228891noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3257244942641384925.post-80181530075633718632010-07-06T19:43:00.001-04:002010-07-06T19:45:03.113-04:00Oh No !!!<img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 233px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5490943367938277122" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEghEVBCOoE44mQSVW9cozPSULNZf1sFDROjdGzKE8V4O58m0XfapUjcdktAAM51xTM5Mr8g9cYGLPy0C3cnrzqt-hrulbP5UcdeNIxUbId-5VLhSnIlAMFn8QiCQJz_jOLaPvps1os92e0/s400/marker.jpg" /><br /><div>I think my blog died.</div><br /><div></div><br /><div></div>Son of a Thomashttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08149887319793228891noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3257244942641384925.post-53767061021514002602010-06-29T18:56:00.002-04:002010-06-29T19:21:32.839-04:00Introducing.................<strong><span style="font-family:verdana;">Samantha Mohr</span></strong><br /><strong><span style="font-family:verdana;"> </span></strong><br /><strong><span style="font-family:verdana;"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5488333669448135554" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgCZ7ZvpM_4hVyiEG4jWyK9_3JS2DYaS7IYqOvt_B4K0l4q5mGuD_kz0gJQUtSCXkXKIM7fUa0dpLallhuWZ0F2yOTZiHpP-UDFKPI2cFaoKQ4Swp6v7trzRIGRoBuMsqz4AwXu5EzRi7o/s400/sam.jpg" /></span></strong><br /><p> </p><p>She is a Meteorologist on <a href="http://www.weather.com/tv/personalities/Samantha-Mohr.html">The Weather Channel</a>.</p><p>The other day I was watching for storms in my area when Sam (I call her Sam) appeared doing the "<em><strong>describe the weather while standing in front of the satellite picture</strong></em>" deal as she is doing in the above picture.</p><p>The difference between the above picture and the other day is she was wearing this orange blouse thingy which was open to her belly button and when she turned to the side...............you guessed it. Total <a href="http://www.pollsb.com/photos/o/6085-lindsay_lohan_s_side_boob.jpg">side boob </a>action. The most I have ever seen on T.V. and that includes the corpses on <a href="http://entertainmentrundown.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/01/mariska_hargitay.jpg">Law and Order </a>and <a href="http://images.starpulse.com/pictures/2007/01/27/previews/Marg%20Helgenberger-SGG-031569.jpg">CSI</a>.</p><p>Now the thing I really found funny about the whole event (besides the amount of boob which was showing) was that I needed to share the experience, so I called my buddy Johnny B. He didn't answer so I called my buddy Drewcifer. No answer so I start thinking to myself "Who else would get a kick out of this?" So who was the next call to. <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiU5AF70eJwl6i-bskCnqc5QFJ9PY_FWO_AN9-3JwwXRm7_XOj4TdrNDY22V6Ev-wSdBuzokSQIHvLJg5GFEuWX-Z00LmmDERKdLF68zHKCsrSffYsK8RFSiPsD-rIPeR_K7HiF_5dZzcGo/s320/doctor+clipart.gif">Dr Zibbs </a>of "<a href="http://www.thatblueyak.blogspot.com/">That Blue Yak</a>."</p><p>Now the Dr. was able to answer his phone but he was not around a television. Too bad but I was glad to share the experience with someone. He advised me to take a picture but I was unable to do so.</p><p>The weird thing was, even though I didn't have time to watch her stand in front of the satellite again, when they came back from commercial and she was at the desk, her blouse was still wide open.

Throwing and breaking shit is definitely not my normal m.o. but my frustration level has reached such a point that I wouldn't put it passed me.<br /><br />So I applied for yet another job. I was selected as one of the 15 candidates to be interviewed. This was out of 100 applicants. I believe the interview went well. I answered all of the questions honestly and openly. Why wouldn't I? I have nothing to hide and I want you to know and understand who you will be working with.<br /><br />So the selection process was made and the field was narrowed. Did I make the cut? NO! Why? I want too much money.<br /><br />Now considering that this is not the first time I have hear this, you would think that I would be smart enough to lower my price. I would if I could afford to but considering that I live at the bare minimum now, I don't know how much lower I can get.<br /><br />I am not the money motivated type. It's never been that important to me. I only worry about having enough to support my family. Most of my things are held together by spit and wire. I get furniture off of craigslist and have been able to learn many things so I have the ability to do them myself. So I find it incredible that the amount of money I need has become the issue.<br /><br />Now in the several interviews and applications I have had, the discussions always talk about how my job is not a "9 to 5" position or how "being available" is of primary importance. How having a "flexible schedule" is a job requirement. I understand these things and my family understands them because we have lived them for the last 15 years. I have missed birthdays, anniversary's, weddings, plays, sporting events and holiday gatherings because this is the life we have chosen. What I don't understand is how they expect to pay part-time wages for a more than full time job.<br /><br />I saw some fucking congressman on CNN the other day saying Americans who aren't working just don't want to work. I wish I could punch him in the fucking head. I don't have a 2000 square foot house. I don't have a car younger than 10 years old. I don't have credit card debt. I didn't buy my house with less than 10 percent down. So how many fucking jobs do I have to have to keep from living on the fucking street? How many fucking times do I have to go back to school to get a job that barely pays off the student loan?<br /><br />Fuck piss shit fuck motherfucker bitch fuck.Son of a Thomashttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08149887319793228891noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3257244942641384925.post-6761313506526959672010-03-10T13:56:00.003-05:002010-03-10T13:59:44.529-05:00Just so you know.<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjgkNijflXp-TjLtt4VOKC93m72sN_Eo889sqAArL4TNlUneYEx4N05zbldBqSJ6hhcpOwrDNw8TJKxSPpVN7JnH7PsOjR5_gorIqNfqOOhZsd8XB2VmR6T8O0MyUurRxEweGoIFNnjA18/s1600-h/image6284970g.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 244px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 183px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5447081551693836674" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjgkNijflXp-TjLtt4VOKC93m72sN_Eo889sqAArL4TNlUneYEx4N05zbldBqSJ6hhcpOwrDNw8TJKxSPpVN7JnH7PsOjR5_gorIqNfqOOhZsd8XB2VmR6T8O0MyUurRxEweGoIFNnjA18/s400/image6284970g.jpg" /></a><br /><div><strong><em>(CBS News)</em></strong></div><div><strong><em>Actor Corey Haim Dies at 38<br />Drug Overdose Eyed as Possible Cause of Death; Actor Reportedly Taking Medication to Battle Flu-Like Symptoms<br /></em></strong><a class="smaller"></a><a class="larger"></a><br /><a href="http://www.cbsnews.com/video/watch/?id=6285108n"></a><strong><em>The 38-year-old Canadian-born actor, who broke into films as a child, died in Los AngelesFormer teen idol Corey Haim, best known for his role in the 1987 hit "The Lost Boys," has died after a well-documented battle with drug addiction and a string of B-movie roles aimed at returning to the spotlight.
