Vastus Lateralis
Even before the buildup and anticipation to what was surely to be an amazing show, I had very lofty expectations for the Tool show that was to be in Reno, Nevada on January 14, 2012. My last run-in with Maynard, et al was just under 2 years ago in San Francisco at the Bill Graham Civic Center. Despite my somewhat crazed ideology of incessantly listening to Tool, never once have I experienced a letdown. For me, Tool is the exception to the rule—I can listen to Tool to satisfy any emotion. …

Whether it’s tape, glue, or that weird sticky stuff they put on the back of gift cards, there’s little chance any portion of the paper is going to remain intact if I’m the one pulling it apart. It wasn’t until I …
Soaking In Serenity
It sounded like rain drops hitting a tent. If you’ve ever been caught in the rain while camping you know exactly what I’m talking about. First, it’s the soft thump of a few rogue droplets making contact with the canvas. Almost as if someone is tossing mini water balloons at your tent. Next comes the increased frequency of thuds. Like a beautifully orchestrated symphony, the percussion section begins to elevate their involvement …
The New Year Had Me Seeing Red
January 1, 2004 Okay, first entry of 2004, it feels kind of special. Well, the curse of the woman has continued into the new year. Getting a bloody nose while kissing a girl is not something you want to happen, just my luck.1 My 2004 started out with a bang. There was history between Brenda and I. I just couldn’t tell you exactly what it was. Something to do with a party, copious amounts of booze, and a couple of Grande Meals from …
