Things are morphing out of control...

Yes it is sad from the Artist/Studio perspective but nevertheless... gone soon will be the profits obtained from CD sales and Theatre Tickets (which have obviously diminished considerably already). When I read (online of course) a story about a woman jailed for "sharing" 24 mp3's via a peer to peer site or better yet this... I am saddened and disgusted. Yes you deserve to be compensated for your hard work and expenses, Yes you deserve to be in charge of how your material is distributed. No, you do not have the right to selectively choose an example in your attempts to scare off the tens of millions who enjoy your hard work without dishing out hard cash. Everyone is doing it, the "problem" is not going to go away, you certainly are going to spend more in legal fees than you can obtain by suing the average joe downloader.

(Hawthorne Heights)
---
yikes has it really been a month? Lots of things have been going on in my life not to mention working (rather suddenly) the third shift. The kids are getting bigger and their interests/hobbies more involved. In the next two weeks we will be attending 4 Guitar/Vocal Lessons, my older son's Play spread over three evenings (The Diary of Anne Frank) an Opera in Boston for my older son's birthday (La Boheme) and a Concert in Providence, RI (Hawthorne Heights/Red Jumpsuit Apparatus). Life is pretty full at the moment, but in a very good way.

One really strange thing about working third shift, at least so far as my body acclimates itself to the strange sleeping routine is that I have started watching TV to try and fall asleep. I never watch TV usually but have fallen victim to a few shows of late. I am now addicted to Heroes, Lost, Dexter, Jericho and Pushing Daisies. I just finished the second season of Lost, and am on episode 7 via the ABC Website. Damn it's an amazing show. I'm working to catch up with Jericho also, but that is on the backburner at the moment.

My favorite Lost cast member, Josh Holloway - Sawyer

In any case it's been a really rough month.

I hope my friends haven't abandoned me because I have not posted or been able to read
