Albums, Football Playoffs, and Venomous Vegans

I have a question for the vegans out there. This is not meant to be inflammatory. I simply don't know enough to answer this question myself. I also know that the varying levels of vegetarianism have very personal definitions, so there may not be a definitive answer to this.

So, from my understanding, vegans don't eat meat, or animal products. No milk based products, eggs, beeswax. No leather, nothing tested on animals, and for the most part, nothing that has captured or caged animals in its production.

What if a vegan gets bitten by a venomous snake? Do they take the anti-venom? Most anti-venom is made from the snakes' venom. They catch or keep venomous snakes, milk their venom, and derive the anti-venom from the venom.

To my omnivorous brain, it sounds like anti-venom is not vegan friendly. Vegans & vegan experts, is that the case? Will you die before taking an animal derived product to save your life?

Maybe the answer to this is a lot more obvious than i know. Like i said, not a vegan; have no idea.

Today is a few things:

Eagles @ Arizona- Fuck the Eagles. Obviously, i'm a Giants fan. Does it need any more explanation? (Fuck the Giants for goin' out like that too.) And the Cardinals? Oooookay. I saw them trounce the Panthers, i know they're for real. But really, the Cards? At least i think they can beat the Eagles, so, they should do that. Fuck the Eagles. But they're closing the roof in Arizona. Fuck teams with domes. Why the fuck do they need a dome in Arizona anyway?

Ravens @ Pittsburgh- These two teams might kill each other on the way to the bowl. What's the score gonna be, 3-6, with both offenses getting put on the DL? I have band practice today and it's probably going to start while this game is still on. I already told them that i'm going to be 100% distracted. All my instrument cables are fucked, so i use my wireless for playing bass. That's good, because i can stand in front of the TV and watch the game while playing.

CD Baby- I'm going down to drop off my next release @ CD Baby. I'll let everyone know when the EP is available. There will hopefully be a new release every month and a half +/-, for a while.

PS. Fuck the Eagles.

Damn responsibilities! And some awesomeness too.

So, another tuesday, another song. This might be the last one for a while. The events of my life have turned in such a way that i have to dedicate a serious amount of my time to things other than music. This is absolutely necessary, otherwise i wouldn't do it. Also, it's temporary, and without it, i'd probably wind up destitute on the street. That would have much more grave an impact on making music than my current endeavor. I'll keep blogging, because there's always shit going on and i can't let everything lapse.

Also, there are some complete songs i haven't uploaded yet. I might be able to upload those in the meantime.

Some things i'd love to do in the near future, after these other responsibilities are done of course.
Feel free to join in:

-Be part of making a cartoon.
-Be the voice of one of the characters in said cartoon.
-Score the theme and music to said cartoon.

-Take a trip back to NYC.
-Take a trip to anywhere else i haven't been yet.
-Get a bicycle (just in time for the rainy-cold season, right?)

-Fix my truck (it's sooooo close to 300,000 miles)
-Get a new vehicle (that will actually fit my gear and not eat so much gas)
-Road Trip.

-Get some of these new tracks for sale online.
-Increase my collaborations
-Really, for real get my music on some video games or commercials or TV shows, etc.

-Actually see some financial return on my overwhelming efforts.

Music: Depth Charge

And then go the the CD Baby Podcast. My call was featured on episode #037: Roundatble “360 Record Deals” in response to their episode #035 : Roundtable - A New Digital Format for Music? Have a listen to both. (yeah, i know i talk too fast... i'm really trying to enunciate, i swear.) And, it's one of the few podcasts i actually listen to often, so, rock it. Learn from it. Love it. Or just enjoy for now.

=) till next week.
