DROWNING POOL Singer: Turkeys And Thieves

November 22, 2007

DROWNING POOL frontman Ryan McCombs has issued the following update:

"It's Thanksgiving. Kick-ass. That means spending time with family, watching football, eating till your belly button pops, napping and eating some more. It also means going a little crazy.

"It's always a bit hard during the holidays for me to keep my head on decent. It's so easy to get caught up in the routine that is touring that sometimes it is harder than you would think to change gears and be home for a bit.

"While you're out there hitting city after city you get into that mode, that mindset. The whole time I'm doing it, I'm missing my kids and all but as soon as I'm away from the routine I start going stir-crazy. Shouldn't I be getting ready for soundcheck. Who are all these kids running around (nephews)?? What time is doors? No I don't wanna watch cartoons. How many bands are playing tonight? Who did what with my whatever??? What time do we go on?? Who ate my turkey leg?? How many bottles of liquor do we have left??? Next thing you know you are where you wanted to be for the holidays but your patience is shot and you are pretty sure you could skin your Irish Terriers and make rugs out of them even though you have been missing them for months.

"The mind is a funny thing. Not funny 'hah,' funny like 'could you cut that funny shit out for a goddamn second????'

"This Thanksgiving is special, though this one started out with a couple fucknuts breaking into the DROWNING POOL rehearsal spot in Dallas and stealing a bunch of our shit. The day before Thanksgiving. AWESOME!!! I think being a thief is the closest thing to the cowards that key cars. What's the mentallity there??? 'I DON'T HAVE THAT BUT I WANT IT, FUCK IT... I'LL TAKE YOURS!!' You know what?? Die, you worthless pile of flesh. Get a fucking job, save up and buy your own. Like the person did that you're stealing from. It's really damn close to that fuckface that has a problem with you, so instead of being a human being about it and facing you straight up, they take a rock or key to your vehicle.

"This Thanksgiving theft reminds me of the wise words of Mr. Stevie Benton, 'People suck, they're the worst.' It seems like every day the population of bottom-feeding, ME-FIRST cocksuckers in this world slowly outnumber the people that should keep breathing.

"TO HELL WITH IT!!! I'm gonna go watch some football with my boys, sneak turkey under the table to my Irish bitches, and try not to break something over someone's head. Then tomorrow I'm gonna drive eight hours to the in-laws because, screw it, I ain't been traveling enough...lol

"Every day I realize just how lucky I am in so many areas of life, but every once in a while you realize the mind's ability to make a cavity out of candy.

"Happy Thanksgiving to all, except for thieves and worthless shitballs..."
