trouble at 134 hz

it’s been along while since i’ve had to deal with these sound attenuation issues.  as my and the recording industry change we need to get our cut. getting this piece of pi comes with a cost. becoming more involved with the acoustical diminution of the intensity of sound energy propagating in a medium through absorption comes with it’s own different set of headaches. i get the concept of generated more revenue from this specific aspect of my job, but i would still rather sub it out. in this particular circumstance the resonation occurs at exactly the frequency as the shovel is wide {coincidence - well it wouldn't be the first time}. i know the height, width, depth and angles of the shovel, but if i were to explain angular velocity, frequency and hertz all having the dimensions of 1/s, i’d be talking outside my comfort zone. to be honest, i cannot truly appreicate what i’m talking about… but after removing these little gems from my ears i can actually hear it more now than just feel it.

here’s how the bocce points bounced – rather buried in the sand

points:
n.g 1st
m.s 2nd
m.c 3rd

discretionary:
j.d. coordination and bringing beer
m.c. coordination and bringing more beer
m.s. for breaking my balls

thanks for rolling with it mike and john

analyze this

i had the weirdest dream the other night. after all of the hoopla surrounding that royal wedding i went to bed saying, “how could so many people give a flying f_ck.”

so in my dream i was there at the mall selling helium filled blowup dolls with a paper mask of kate’s face tied around the head. i was wearing a shirt that read ‘i did the duchess’. to go deeper (excuse the pun) into my dream, i was overwhelmed. people were buying them up like hot cakes (not another one). i couldn’t fill them and tie on the masks on fast enough. i was sending people i didn’t know to buy more dolls, get more helium, search for a printer to make more masks. all the while the scissors wouldn’t cut the string.  i was having trouble dialing the country and area code on my rotary dial mobile phone and trying to make change while working out the buck/quid exchange rate. it was very stressful.

and now as the whole bin laden story begins to unfold... i’m not sure if i am more stressed about posting this or going to sleep.
