Maybe you've listened to Phil Collins 1993 release BOTH SIDES. Maybe you haven't. If you have, you may or may not have heard the opening drumskin ruffle that accounts for 1.5(?) seconds of the song "Both Sides Of The Story" before "the song" "begins" (the prequel?)
I've always known of it b/c my mom would always be sure I had a good hi-fi system and I usually listened to my music with headphones.
I'm listening to it on my computer with cheap KOSS headphones. My mom JUST GOT OUT OF BED as that sentence was being typed. So the noise in this house is limited, was non existent but a short moment ago. But I still could not hear the drum ruffle thingy that kicks off the CD. I used to use my Seiki LCD TV's built in speakers and I couldn't hear it then either. I was amazed after I bought a Vizio soundbar for $80 + tax - 5% REDcard (debit) discount @ Target (whatever that totaled, don't remember the exact amount) and for the first time in a rediculously long time I could HEAR IT!
I saw set photos of Paul Feig's GHOSTBUSTERS reboot. looks promising. I don't expect it to top or compete with the original. I'll probably just see it out of brand loyalty and curiosity. It'll probably be enjoyable on some level. It's 2015 after all. The tone and look of GHOSTBUSTERS just isn't like anything made today, at least not in mainstream Hollywood. I don't care if the jokes are dumb. I don't find the original riproaringly hilarious. I just like it. It's feel-good in a kind of macabre way. Then the macabre is used as a springboard for some suspense later in the film. So it works even if you laughed at THE LADIES MAN but didn't during THE CONEHEADS.

barred
I finally downloaded an alternate web browser (Windows 7).
I chose Firefox based on CNET user reviews. IE (latest version) was having compatability issues with Google or vice versa...so I couldn't blog for awhile. I came here 2 or 3 times prior to today to blog about something(s) I don't even remember what and came today thinking it'd maybe be fixed, it wasn't. So I have Firefox :)
I wonder if I'm as evolved as I'll get while on Earth. I feel lacking in gratitude, ferociously impatient, terminally sad, or angry, and constantly in need of stimulation. I find it nearly impossible to imbed myself in the life of anyone. And my interests are extremely limited, so it's gluttony, lust and music. Music isn't inherently bad, but since I'm terminally sad, listening to happy music does not stimulate me. Christian music is sometimes sad, but it's so heavy, like God himself if sitting on my head, and then I find myself exhausted. I just wonder if I'll make it to Heaven. I surely don't want to spend eternity in a pit of evildoers.
