More talk of the new band that I am doing. Now going on week two, so far so good. Currently at about three songs really done. That number is going to jump very soon though because we do have some uncompleted songs and riffs that need parts. Could be around six or seven songs by the end of the weekend. I have no clue though. I am also going to go after the "fickashawna" method when it comes to the lyrics. I write "Down, But Not Out" after the riff was written, and the song captured the emotion of the song better. So that's what I will do. That doesn't mean I am going to scrap lyrics. If I think I have lyrics that might work, I'm going to try and make it fit. I have a list of song names I want to use though, I found out that having a title first really helps me with a direction of the lyrics.
Should hopefully have a show around the start of March. There are going to be some funky things happening between now and then... Hopefully not permanent though.
Moving on...
Seen some really ugly things with in the family recently. Luckily not my direct family, but rather what my father's younger brother has done lately. My grandfather passed away last April, and was sitting on a worth of about 750k, which is quite a pretty penny. There was no will, so a whole mess of things needed to happen. What wound up happening was this, my fathers brother was given the admin task seeing how him and my father are the only two living children of his, my dad is out on the road for 45 days at a time, and couldn't do these things. So here's what happened. Kind of ugly.
Around October we got a letter from my uncles lawyer asking to "not sue" him after the money is disbursed. It seemed suspicious, but nothing that strange, so my dad asked to see the spending and itemized list just to be sure, again, not something that is unusual. When we got the papers we saw something that was kind of disturbing, we never "officially" assigned my uncle as admin, he was asked to do it because of my father. Instead of doing my grandfathers wishes, and splitting it six ways, he took out a hefty admin fee, which we found kind of offensive. Then after we started questioning, and probing delays started coming when we would get paper work, or requested paper work. There were problems with this... Let me explain..
My uncle first off has NO SPINE, and is whipped around by his wife. (I am going to abuse ad ad hominem here so bare with me.) He has this wife you see, who after her parents passed she snaked her way around to get money from their inheriteness and basically broke up a family. This "bitch" managed to do it again. We can tell she was persuading these messages, and decisions. First off, my grandmother, and grandfather apparently did not like her in the first place, and my uncle got married to her without them even knowing. So you can imagine, going behind your parents back like that will only lead to what came later.
Here is the kicker to it all. My grandfather who spoke to my dad shortly before he did said this, "Do you think he will distribute the money fairly." There was doubt before he died. The fact that someone would do that to their father is sickening. It is gross, and the gluttony that is seen here is disturbing. There is a special place in hell for people like this guy..
That is really it.. It is jibberish, and pointless I know. My advice to everyone. If you have, or know someone who is elderly or sickly, make sure there is a living will. Things like this will never happen if that is the case.. Goodnight...-SS
