1. Go to class. When I learned this trick in my later college career, it made life so much easier.

2. Crazy girls are often fun and surprisingly spontaneous in the sack, but long-term, they're a nightmare. Stay away. Far away. Run.

3. Save more. I got on track, but I started later than I should have.

I was extremely fortunate not to make any mistakes from which I could not recover, but I came close.

I'm pretty convinced that switching to in-ear monitors saved my hearing. I switched in the Spring of 2005 and never looked back. The band I was working with then was all in-ear with the exception of the drummer, who used a wedge. There were no amps on stage at all. Early days of guitar/amp modeling processors. Everyone got their own mix. The board we were using could do 6 independent mixes.

Back then, I used a Shure wireless system with a separate little personal monitor mixer. I would mix my own voice and instrument into my ears and get a send from the board with what I wanted. (No drums in my mix because the drummer used real drums, no triggers, and my vocal mic would pick up enough of what I needed.) So much easier to sing when you can hear yourself. You just don't push as hard.

The last few years I played consistently, we used newer stuff where everyone can download the app and have their own individualized monitor mix. It was awesome. Once you dialed it in, it changed very little from venue to venue. That band used electronic drums, too. No stage volume at all.

I used custom Westones for a long time, but a few years ago I got custom Ultimate Ears because I found the connectors on the Westones to be flaky and the build quality lacking. It was well worth it, at least to me, to have custom molds done and have a perfect fit. They are far more comfortable, and the ambient sound dB cut is more pronounced.

There are no negatives, in my opinion, though it does take a little getting used to.

I knew a girl who's father disappeared in 2003. He had the beginnings of dementia, if I recall her telling me the story. He went out for a bike ride and disappeared. They found the bike abandoned at some point, but no trace of him has ever been found.

I just checked the site, and he's on there.

Looks like she's been in jail since last year, even though she does have a bond. The victim count is now up to six.
