Loverboy & Soapbox

Bass practice is going well.

I put a javascript count thingumy over in the left column if that's of any interest. I know I'll be watching it, at least.

John made yet another really good suggestion for a practice song; "Turn Me Loose" by Loverboy.

He'd been concerned about me and my octaves, and there's a superlative bass line in this song that consists of nearly nothing BUT a repeated chromatic octave.

It did the trick, as John listened to me rehearse, he said he was able to hear the difference between my first day of bass playing versus how I sound now, and he says I am doing much better.

I am absolutely grateful that he can hear some kind of improvement.

All rightie. I'll be simmering over Proposition 8 for awhile, I guess.

Here's some more of my randomness.

On Twitter, I wrote "Wow, California straight married people must feel all nice and protected now from the dreaded fairy cooties. What suck."

Our nation's constitution requires people to be treated equally.

Unrelated consenting TAXPAYING adults should ALL have exactly the SAME privileges when it comes to marital unions and the naming thereof.

It stands to reason that if a person really does believe the teachings of the Bible to be true and correct, then no real Christian with genuine strength of faith would have ever felt threatened enough to have voted yes on Proposition 8.

To require secular laws to prop up religious beliefs shows an absence of faith, weakness of the soul, and a blatant disregard for the US Constitution.

Besides, I thought the whole idea behind Christianity was to stand strong in the face of adversity -- not to simply make the adversity go away.

And of course, no divorced person could vote for Proposition 8 without being hypocritical in doing so.

Or maybe I was absent from church on the day they taught where it's okay to profess one thing and actually do another thing that's the opposite.
