This calls for a drum fill that goes over the bar

In case you don’t actually happen to live in my misguidedly referential brain, the title of this post was inspired by the drum fill that launched a thousand (mostly ill-fated) drumming careers in the early 80’s. Yes, goddamn it, I’m referring to the drum fill in Phil Collins’ “In the Air Tonight.” Listen closely, kids; whoa, that shit ends after the one. I mean, it’s revolutionary. It’s like, you know, he totally fucked up, but didn’t. So jazz. For serious.
Why is this on my mind? Because for some reason it’s the first thing that popped into my head when I got the news that our lord and savior Barack Obama has landed at St Pete-Clearwater airport. I knew there was a reason that my hangover miraculously disappeared, and no, it’s not because I’m on my fifth Zima. Yes, there is definitely something in the air (let’s just forget the part about that Collins song actually being horribly depressing), and it’s something a lot more legitimate than the vortex of vanilla-flavored mediocre suck that The Today Show’s presence left in Tampa this morning. ZOMFG! Could gravity be a danger to your child? Find out after one of us interviews someone, interrupts them a lot, and then gets duly outraged by anything we don’t understand so that we can score higher with our target demographic.
Wait, what just happened? Oh, right, so yeah, in case the rock you’ve been living under had an inexplicable media outage, Barack Obama is going to be in Dunedin tomorrow rallying for change, and I for one could use the change, mostly since they installed all those freaking meters downtown.
Anyway, event details are here, and special parking details from Dunedin are here. Be careful not to get distracted by the announcement that the city of Dunedin has proclaimed that May 1st is SILVER STAR BANNER DAY. Holy SHIT, that sounds AWESOME.
One last thing. Did you know you could vote for Barack Obama right freaking now? If you’re like me and have an irrational fear of sudden, accidental death, then you might want to get your vote on sooner rather than later. Why not get an absentee ballot and just mail that shit in right now? You can. Seriously. Go here and make it happen.
I’ve been contemplating a life of never posting in blogs again. Oddly, this decision was to coincide with my devotion to a completely nudist lifestyle. That changed the day I found these shorts. Since I can’t technically be a nudist and rock these shorts on a daily basis, I guess the nudism thing is out. Still not sure about the blogging.
got a tip?
