If I had $1,000,000

Here I sit in a truck stop in Barstow, California. I'm supposed to be making money for school, but here I sit typing on my laptop, waiting for a load. I might even fork over the $1.50/hour for air conditioning tonight (truck a/c compressor seized). I'll be reading more of "The future of music" tonight. (A BOOK, HOW ANALOG!!!)
I think it's time to start bringing my "studio" with me in the truck, especially as I looks like I'll be driving solo for the remainder - Hopefully I can get away with living in the truck until school starts, and save myself from having to pay rent in toronto while i'm never home. By "studio", i mean my desktop case, v-amp2, Axiom-25 and guitars.
I'm really excited about "The Choch Song", as all it needs for me to put up here is better drums. Maybe I'll post it anyway with that disclaimer. It's got a very upbeat "Fuck you" in a happy kind of way going on in it. I'd describe it so far as "Nerdcore Power Pop"
I've decided that the album (from 2005, posted here) will no longer be named "Ad hominem", as that theme was for the songs that were cut from it due to not being ready for release. The collection will probably remain un-released for a long while, along with "The 2" Rule", recorded with Jamie Salloum in 2002-ish.
I envision the following albums in the future:
"Ad-Homem", consisting of mostly satirical songs, like "The Choch Song", and "Rockabilly Hipster"
"Fuck, Fight, or Hold the Light" - Comedic songs, such as "Truckload of Love" and "The Anarchy Car"
To quote jim, "If only I was independently wealthy"...
