things i learned

though i'm sure no one will know what i am talking about, i want to tell u any ways. Yesterday i learned how to make a kick drum sound powerful and deep. its great. See when you record a kick drum straight up it doesnt sound good. you have to add sounds to it to get it to sound really big. i think its great.

on another note today me and ashley are going to target to register for stuff we dont want or need just so other people can feel better about giving us something. I'm learning that wedding are not about me or my wife to be, its about everyone else. people give feel about themselves when they help the "poor suffering newly weds." but they have a hard time feeling good about themselves when they help the poor suffering hungry people on the street. This bothers me. and maybe it shouldn't  and i'm probably taking it the wrong way but it does. or maybe i got this wrong. maybe its just about tradition. its the way its always been done and its the way everyone does it so therefore we should do it to. Screw that. if nobody ever did things against tradition we wouldnt get anywhere in life or culture. tradition does not equal right. Socrates said,"The unexamined life is not worth living." Though i may have missed the point of that statement and add to the list of people who misquote others for their own selfish needs, i believe that that statement can be applied to tradition and culture as well. we must examine are traditions and culture to find truth and if it is benefical to mankind as a whole. if it doesnt then this life and culture and traditions are wasteful. the truth is everything and everyone changes; we just get to choose how it changes. may we always change toward truth and the benefit of others or our traditions and culture that we love so much will crush us.

ok bye.
