That statement is chock full of wrong. It indicates that in order to be happy, all you have to do is want to be happy, which is whattheIdon'teven...

Everybody wants to be happy, not everyone is.

But, if you are happy, that's great. For you.

That's not what I said.

If you want to be happy, stop resisting your reality. Surrender to it, accept or change it.

I didn't mean wanting to be happy makes you happy. You have to do some stuff mentally, but anyone can do it. It's free.

Even More Wacky Submarine Terms You Never Knew You Wanted To Know - self explanatory.

I'd like to share a site I found, movie-sounds.org.

Also check out Elders React to Slipknot. Yehuda apparently likes Metal.

O;k, I'm done for

The worlds largest record collection.

Wow. That's a huuuge undertaking that man has in mind.

He should leave all that to Google when he dies. Maybe they could handle cataloging, and digitizing that much media, and perform yet another service to the world.

I could spend a looooooong time going through that collection before I got tired of it.

There's bound to be something in there I haven't heard that I'd actually like.

I'm now feeling that my little experiment to post video links in this thread has failed.

BTW, nice post, Bruce.

Look up samples by the songs they appear in, or vice versa.

I (finally) learned the origin of one of my favorite beats.
The drummer is Darryl Brown, according to Discogs.

Here's the whole song. The famous loop is the first six seconds.


Here's an example of the speed I like to play it at, as a warm-up/accuracy exercise:

Hey man did you catch the Vulfpeck stuff I posted with Bernard Purdie
