dead man's pants

by the way,

i finally did actually do something further to that "new groove idea" post from last year (heh)

the 'tune', if you want to call it that is now called "Dead Man's Pants"

it's still quite raw. at least i have managed to get most of the idea down that i was hoping to.

i'm sure that i'll be going back and tweaking it somewhat.

in the meantime, it is up on myspace if you wish to check it out.

the name, if you're wondering where it came from, refers to a old friend who was taken from us all far too soon, bout 4 years ago now.

it may sound strange to you, but over the course of the memorial (which i attended), i had been given one of his custom-made suits before i left to come home. we were very close to the same size and build: i must admit it was a bit creepy; as the first time i put on the suit, it fit me almost flawlessly.

i have worn this suit on several occaisons.

sad to say, i managed to lose the suit-jacket back in early 2007 while attending a trade-show. i don't really know where or how i managed to lose it, but there you have it.

all i have left are a pair of 'dead man's pants'.

i fell asleep...

so deeply that when i awoke, i was truly disoriented and confused.

this happened this afternoon.

i'm still in the midst of recovering from having the gastroc recession done on my left calf. (i think i wrote about that sometime ago...)

i had to start taking gabapentin (neurontin - essentially a nerve sedative) to calm down neural spasms that had been putting a serious crimp in my recovery...

it's entirely possible that the drug has something to do with it.

what i do know is that i haven't had a sleep like that for as long as i can recall.

weird.
