Yeah, in general my job gives me a lot of satisfaction. I'm nowhere near rich and never will be, but I enjoy doing my best to have some sort of positive impact on the future of our world. I would suggest volunteering in a classroom to see if it's right for you. I started out teaching poetry of an org called California Poets In The Schools. It made me realize that teaching is what I wanted to do. It's funny that, if you met me you probably would not guess I am a teacher. It's gotta be something you love. I guess just like any path to happiness.

Agreed, This is really good.

This is a definite problem. Simple solution is to stop buying those overpriced records. I have completely cut back and pretty much stopped buying anything in a ridiculous bundle that contains the most "rare" pressing. This first happened with the newest Make Do And Mend lp. I ended up not buying any version. The fact that we are finding it okay that a regular lp is priced at $20 is kind of disturbing to me. I don't expect the same prices as when I was a kid, but I tend to use the prices of Temporary Residence or Deathwish as a guide as to what is a reasonable price for the label/artist and the consumer. Lastly, I'm also getting tired of some labels who do fancy covers and colors of vinyl only as an excuse to completely jack up the price. There are many labels who do these cool things, but the price is only a bit higher than the regular stuff.

Here are a handful of my 2012/13 3rd grade poems from last year. Mountains Calling Mountains, could you hear the disturbing sound? It’s thunder. I know how that feels someday your mountains are going to fall. Someday you might be stopped. Just call me, I’ll help you. -Cristian Secret I have a secret that I told no one in my life. It will make me nervous if I tell someone, but I did anyway and I felt fine. Then I told my friends and I am still going to tell more people. I will not be scared anymore. I will be me and stay like that. - Eve Open When I opened the door an ugly dog popped out and I screamed so loud I fainted when I finished screaming. When I woke up I heard a loud screeching from the backyard. I went to my closet to put on my binoculars and swimming goggles. -Melanie Below The Sky Below the sky there are cities, towns, hotels, and stores. Below the sky there are millions of people. Below the dirty sky, dragons are breathing fire and millions of hippos crawling like babies. Burning people melting snow all beautiful green grass showing like big great teeth showing smiling people making bad choices. They don’t know what they’re doing. -Esmeralda Haiku light glimmers at night this house is on fire, help me I hate you, don’t help -Andre This last one is another one where I played them the Explosions song and gave them the title to use for their poem. A Song For Our Fathers A song that fits their personalities. I’ll give so much thought about love and caring. It’s going to be a big song. There will be lots of “sorries” because I did something bad. The song is like a misunderstanding about what I did. When my father forgives me I will write another song about forgiveness. -Chris I'm looking forward to seeing what comes out this year.

Mine was media, as far as I know.

That must be what I have to go to the PO to pick up. I was wondering who the hell sent me something that required my signature. That will be a rewarding trip there at least.

Was just coming here to post this. Damn you're fast. http://www.kingsongproductions.bigcartel.com

I just bought the two records they have. I didn't know they also have solo stuff. Will have to check it out. Thanks.

I just discovered Shovels and Rope recently and am really digging them. http://youtu.be/u1XMhdAGDgc NPR Tiny Desk session http://youtu.be/LbVD8k9qA6k

So $20(a normal high price for a record these days) for the record and $70 to get your name in the liner notes.

I think I remember paying a lot for shipping, so I think I'm "okay". I don't even remember the last time I got something COD.

Pardon my French, but fuck these guys. No matter how much I love a band, if they do some bs like this they are on my permanent shit list.

Bought. Yeah, $50 is a lot, but I look at it as more of way to save an animal's life while listening to metal! Funny that the other copy I have of this is the "bootleg", so I still won't have the regular art.

Good stuff.

Without hesitation. I talk to my 3rd grade students a lot about the importance of spaying and neutering pets and adopting. Maybe tomorrow I will play them some Skeletonwitch.

I have so many. With bands getting so hyped up here, it can be difficult not to get caught up in the insanity and sometimes you have to make quick decisions to get the most limited variant bs or regret it later. I am coming to the realization that in most cases I should just wait and if I miss out on a rarity I can pay more for it later. In the end I think I will end up buying less crap that I only listen to once or twice. Paying more for those few I truly care about would still put me ahead in the spending department. Though, I will say that I have made some rash decisions and been very happy.

I have an original copy and another 180 gram. This is my third copy through some strange circumstance. Believe me, I listen to all my Waits records. I just seem to have multiple copies of his stuff.

It's really strange to me that this is not on national news. They will show a story about a cat who rides on a vacuum cleaner, but this complete fucking injustice is swept under the rug.

Wonder if you got the repressing or if it's original. Found this info on discogs: The roman numerals "II" or "III" in the dead wax on side A and "II" on side B separates this from the original pressing. My original pressing is fine, but my "repress" is messed up. I got pretty lucky with this album, but no red .

Got mine and it looks beautiful. Looking forward to diving into it tonight. Yeah, the fact that this is only $30 is pretty damn amazing these days.

I've got a sealed 180 gm Nighthawks on black if anyone is interested. U.S. only $24 shipped. PM me.

I'm actually surprised the blue/gold hasn't sold out yet. It is Mastodon and 500 really isn't that high taking into account actual fans and the flippers.

Can't wait for this!

Flood, please add me to the drawing. Thanks a lot!

I thought the Hookers was only on pink or black? I'm pretty sure those are the two I have.
