LESSONS ON PERSPECTIVE

Lesson I: Keep your cup half full.






Sure, being the drummer in the band isn't always the most glamourous position. We're hidden behind the drum kit, we bang up our hands and fingers when we're not precise, and we have the most gear to set up and haul around.
But we're also the only person in the room that simultaneously gets to be part of the show and watch it at the same time.


Lesson II: Smell the roses






Focusing too much on what you want can make you lose focus on what you already have.




Lesson III: Occam's Razor - The simplest explanation is usually the right one.






Ask yourself... Is Alex merely sitting in a cool space-age looking chair?
OR.. Is Alex about to be eaten by Pacman?

Yes, the answer is obvious. And no, Pacman doesn't look very good in person.

LAST NIGHT IN PHOTOS

Played in Guelph last night. Came across a cool Vincent Van Gogh book at the bar called 'I Am A Stranger On The Earth' . Even had the library card in the back.

I didn't know my biography had already been written.
