Jimbo, you could just say, "I haven't noticed, and if I do one day, I'll ignore it".
Kinda decouples you from the whole thing.
You're gonna have to get close to this character in order to really figure him out.
That's one stone I'd be happy to leave unturned.
Shame.
Best ignore it, mate.

James, refer him to me. Being from jersey I love to have fun with fruit cakes. Maybe he likes apples. I'll slap around a lil, how bout them apples. Considering my bald head, I used to be a brunnete as well. I'll grow a comb over for this jerky.
In my younger heavy (thrash) metal days, it was always fun being the lone red sea pedestrian amongst all the little dicky white power dudes with their bad (un original) tatoos and all. It helps (and adds to the irony) that I used to love a good fight (in my younger crazy days):oops:
Send sizzle chest my way, I'll have him in shape in no time.

Come now, kids; you're being Behringerant.
Oh, alright; I recommend a 16ch Xenyx over the head, or a V-Verb Pro.
Either that or Monkey could confuse him whilst Magilla inflicts a slow, agonising stream of jokes and Unicorn-humour that'll probably be fatal.

Hang in there, it only gets worse!

Having a moral centre or foundation of any significance seems detrimental these days, at least in the short term.
Must resist the micro-management, knee-jerk mania, lowest common denominator blues, methinks.
Now, if only I'd been able to fire the rig up the last 3 months, I reckon some daring hittoons would've spewed forth.
Christmas was a killer, twiddlin' the thumbs whilst on "pause".
Now, though, I've a desk and two 24Is sitting in a store and a wholesaler's office, awaiting my final installment.
Trouble is, I've been waiting for a loan to come through and have been left in the dark, on infinite pause, having been put on someone else's backburner.
This thing's dragged on for some time, and sure is character-building.
Phew! I feel much better; thank you.
No biggie, it's just not an ideal backdrop (no solace apart from UN), for coping with the micro-management, knee-jerk mania, lowest common denominator blues!
Cheers, champ.

My training has adequatley qualified me for a career in politics or public policy.
The irony is I wish it did not have go down that way. Wifey does not know I am a carrier of "gearupgradesitis" syndrome. She would never understand!
And since I don't make a living with digital audio, 3 month hiatus are not uncommon. Honestly, these days I have been on a DP hiatus to force my self to Use abelton Live more. It's such an amazing compliment to DP......
I sketch in it and then mix in DP.

This is me I think
Money it only takes money.
Don't ever have enough \
time and money
this world just consumes me takes it all
and spits back in my face
things I need
or is just my lust for things
Am I just another consumer, consumer.
run to the store forget the bills
I will be happy when I have it in my hands
I'll be happy shopping
Gear slut just a gear slut
give me give me gear
just a gear slut, gear slut
