I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

I decided today that parking in our garage will never be a reality so I’m commandeering it for myself. Storage for the family, yes, but I’m taking half to set up my drums. I’ll get dampers for everything as not to disturb the neighbors. I will have a place to hang my framed posters finally.

All I have to do now is tell Mrs. Bam. Pray for me.

I still don't understand people that don't park in their garage. If you have too much stuff in there, then you have too much stuff.
