Bret started his life out by disproving Einstein's theory of relativity at infancy. Bret's discovery™ was quietly swept under the rug by an overzealous babysitter and forgotten forever.
When he was two, he invented the Sun™. It was hailed as the greatest invention of all time™, but all accolades were quickly forgotten when lawsuits ensued over the Sun not having a disclaimer attached to warn people about the inherent dangers of staring directly into it. That, and the whole Skin Cancer thing.
Bret then turned his attention towards writing every song™ ever made, but quickly soured of this when the Internet™ (which Bret also invented™) made the sale of music obsolete, thus sucking away all of his royalties.
Completely broke and destitute, it would then be Bret's greatest accomplishment to write the novel of the century™ using only a magenta crayon and candy bar wrappers found in the gutter. This would be the novel that would cause people to drop to their knees in ecstasy upon merely placing their hands upon it. The blind would suddenly see again. Victims of paralysis would walk again. Men and women alike would become sterile simply by looking at it. World peace would be realized. Most importantly, male pattern baldness would be cured.
Sadly, the book was published under the pseudonym of Reginald Chauncey Von Feeblebunny, who unfortunately, also happened to be a real person. As it happened, Reginald was the inventor of the FlowBee, the cause of the Ebola™ virus and a pathological liar who orchestrated the fall of the Roman empire. He was also the creator of The View. The book was quickly and quietly recalled and burned en masse.
Bret now lives a quiet life* in the small Southwestern Washington town of Washougal where he speaks in an Olde English iambic pentameter, adorns himself with rare gems, always wears a paisley ascot and relentlessly smokes a corncob pipe, much to the dismay of his friends and family. He is married and has two ingenious, beautiful and dashing children who are sure to change the world with their own charms and inventions. Bret still writes and plays music once in awhile, manages to spin a yarn or two in his free time and owns a small, brilliant creative agency with his wife.
When asked, Bret says he does realize that most people lie about themselves on the Internet, but he swears and maintains that every last word of this is all one hundred percent, irrefutably and undeniably true.
* He's still bitter about the whole Sun thing.
It should also be noted that Bret has played in each of the following bands at some point or another:
Thank you guys so much for the gift card! It really means a lot. I hope life's treating you well, or is at least a little less hectic than it has been!
Hey Bret. We're having that problem we had with the Wordpress FTP before where we can't edit the theme information from the Wordpress Dashboard (I assume this also means uploading media isn't working, as before). I tried changing the permissions with Coda and ended up with the error "Error -142: remote chmod failed." I googled it and I think it's the same host-side problem as before. ): If not, it'd be cool if you could let me know how to fix it when you get the chance! Thanks.
It's been going fine. I've been super swamped with stuff the past week-ish and haven't had time to update. Everyone's busy with school, too, so I'm gonna need to see if anyone else wants to write at some point. And if we're taking up too much space or anything, you're obviously free to have it back!
Yeah, same here. I mean, I don't have the responsibilities of a job or anything, but... a lot of the same boring stuff as far as school goes. And we just got a ton of snow, so I think the "getting out of the house to go do stuff" season is over until about May. ):
Hey Bret, It has been a while since like 1987 or so. Good thing you have those old pics of you from back in the day else I would not have recognized you. Good to see you in here as well.
Yeah no problem. That is probably the best thing to do considering time. Drum recording is definitely not meant to be a quick process :) But if you guys are still in need of a drummer or have someone else lined up, definitely send those tracks over my way and I can help you out for sure! Thanks man.
They explain how they do all the weighting and polling really well and actually do reporting and... I mean, especially for just a blog, it's really interesting, I think.
