I used to have a few Rickenbacker guitars that picked me to play them....lol :

*Chuckles* Yeah, I wanted a cheaper drum because I am a poor college student,lol, but the drum was like, "No you must have me..."lol. I was always playing with it at work and I fell in love with it and Peyote told me it was my drum. So I planned to save up for it and my manaer said he would even give me his discount rather than the regular employee one if I wanted it. Well, the rest as you can say is history. It is something I truely cherish. And since I can't be there in person, I will be playing my drum for everyone participating in the mass at EN. Sometimes I can see my totems dancing while I use my drum, it's so awesome.

I find for my own circles drums distract me out of what I'm trying to do. The singing bowl is great for me, monks chanting, harps too. I love drum in open air rites though under the sky when I'm on the earth, listening to the "heartbeat" of th emother.

Jez mentioned something about watching fish in a fish tank as a something that can lower blood pressure. There was a clip on the news the other night concerning COW CUDDLING!!! No, really. It is being utilized in the Netherlands. Their work week must be rather short, lol. Any way, it is a form of therapy.for people and the cows really seem to be agreeable. The mini documentary shows people crawling up to cows on their hands and knees and then snuggling up to them and petting them........it seems a little bit like they got the idea from South Park, but generally cows are very serene (and in some religons very holy) creatures. For those of you with less space, try a dog or cat!!!!
