Addix Metzatricity Posted December 23, 2002 Share Posted December 23, 2002 This being the second Christmas with my girlfriend (and knowing that she got me Reason 2.0) will make this, by far, the best Christmas yet.

Always a time to take a few moments and reflect on things we may take for granted and should sometimes be a little more thankful for.

Tom Capasso Posted December 24, 2002 Share Posted December 24, 2002 Last year, Dan South quoted "The Night Befoire Christmas" in some post, I think related to something about a Lakland. About the same time, I was looking through old issues of BP to answer a forum question, and ran into a bass guitar that I remembered that Peter Romano owns (Brubaker/Lakland). Before I knew it, stanzas appeared on my computer screen about my doing bass research (and my boring life). I hope you enjoy it.... I wish you all His peace for the holidays! Tom The Bass Before Christmas Twas a week before Christmas, I was in my room And alone in my house it was a silent tomb There wasnt much doing anywhere in my place And that was fine I was thinking of Bass Perplexed by a post on my favorite forum I knew in a moment, my life's geeky boredom Someone had asked of the Growler from Tobias And I detected inside me a positive bias So I went to my room, opened up my night stand Where I keep the past copies of BP on hand I searched through old copies of that wonderful mag But my spirits were low when my hunt hit a snag I thought I remembered a Growler review But December 2000 - it just made me blue There was a review of the model called Toby My heart went as dry as the desert named Gobi When what to my wondering eyes should appear But a Tobacco Brubaker on the next page of gear I recalled how this very guitar had been bought By a guy who selects his guitars with much thought It is said that the tone and the feel are much sweeter Than the instruments already owned by one Peter Hes said to be happy he knows what to do And to all of his gigs, he brings out his Bru I see him laying a finger aside of his nose, And saying now stop it this is terrible prose And then hed exclaim, and this is a fact My Bru is the best, until I get my Lak www.stoneflyrocks.com Acoustic Color Be practical as well as generous in your ideals.

CupMcMali...this monkiey's gone to heaven Hey Cup, Here's the voice of experience...I got fired from my management job at a famous children's hospital in this area 2 days before Christmas, 1993. It was a really dark time. I was assigned to write the days-off roster for the month of January. In that hospital, all employees were required to rotate weekends EXCEPT the single white employee; he'd been given a special dispensation to get every weekend off. I refused, and was fired. Anyway, the situation made me realize that I could never change institutionalized racism with adults...if I was to have an impact, it must be with children. I began teaching, and have never looked back. I'm having the time of my life, and am back on the road I should have never left. In fact, if it weren't for that, I would have probably never found my way to this forum. Have faith, Cup and all. Sorrow only lasts a season, and joy comes in the morning. "Let's raise the level of this conversation" -- Jeremy Cohen, in the Picasso Thread. Still spendin' that political capital far faster than I can earn it...stretched way out on a limb here and looking for a better interest rate.

cornbread_medhotmail.com Posted December 24, 2002 Share Posted December 24, 2002 Hey Cup, I'm in the same boat. I got fired because my girlfriend refused to sleep with my boss. That was June, and I still am looking. Don't let it get you down. Don't let them beat you. You're better off now. I'd be willing to bet you didn't really like that job too terribly much. Enjoy the holiday season. Enjoy your family. Enjoy your bass! Keep your chin up. The best way to get back at them is to show them you don't need them. I have a strong suspicion you're going to find something even better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cup Posted December 24, 2002 Share Posted December 24, 2002 Hey folks! Thanx for all the support, you're all too cool. I'm not down or anything, of course I'm not over joyed but things will work out cool. He who laughs last....hee hee. I bought my new amp and bass on a differed loan thru a private loan company. I knew I was getting the job with the Mortgage place..as soon as I started the job I applied and received a staff loan (much, much lower interest rate) Thankfully I took the payment protection insurance out...So in 30 days, if I'm not working, my old employer will have to start paying my monthly installments on my £3000 loan!! I've also got the possibility of a new job in telesales, dull I know but so was the last one. Have a cool yule !
