The Drum Art company is sending me this in a 22 inch head and also 50 stickers with this design.

As far as getting it to where Keir and Harley's living parents would let them sell where they live in Seattle and North Carolina and set up camp where I own a house, and my LLC is located is if they have paying ongoing jobs. Keir moved to Seattle to work for Microsoft and Harley lived in Venezuela for a long time where he was the President of the Company for how a huge amount of Gas Stations get their gas. He would be good at managing staff in restaurants where a lot of them are getting hired because they are from across the border. Mcdonalds is rated the best place in America for a kid to have their first job. That was one of the reasons why my Dad put some of my New York Life money in it. When I had pressure put on me by cops to let me know I wasn't going to get away from getting mdma and meth from Quinton Shaver my Mom had a cop come to our house and take me to Laurette so I could get clean. I got hired at Mcdonalds first when that happened. I worked there for one year with no friends. That is why when I went to TCC after a year I stopped going. I had no ambition to work through college semester without something organized where I had a life.

I wonder if Apple could organize a job for Keir to do if he had a house in my neighborhood?

I want my Dad to buy one and put it in Broken Arrow. We could put a stage in it for live music. This is my Biological Father's families business. His Dad started it. My Dad worked at one when him and Dave were at ISU in the 60s.

For once a week practices at Eric and Michelle's

I have a 16 channel mixer with 2, 1000 watt powered speakers. With all four of us holding jobs I vote to have a sober Friday night practice at my house from 7pm to 12pm every week. Accept that because my house is stone and those amps if we played until midnight, it was not on a school night, and no one was driving drunk, we could do that schedule for years and no cop in Tulsa County would have a single problem with it. That amp with a fretless 4 string Thumb bass would be balanced with Evan. There is no need for amps like we were playing stadiums. Banking money from jobs is what is important. Not being mobile and being extremely addicted to cigarettes is why big rigs creates an unbalance to where people rush out and pawn their gear. Simplify with amps like that, both of you, so that we can focus on the musicianship of playing in a group.

Submission to God's appointed earthly authorities helps me to resist pride and grow in humility, and promotes the justice and peace of society in which human life flourishes.

They called Jesus Teacher

What healing has God Brought in your life? Make sure you testify it to others!

For nothing in the houses of the members of Methodose L.L.C. to be of the Unclean.

Pisgah

Election: choosing, selection. God's sovereign decision to choose people to be His own.

O Lord, Father and Governor of all my whole life, leave me not to their counsels, and let me not fall by them.

Honour a physician with the honour due unto him for the uses which ye may have of him: for the Lord hath created him.

A man that useth much swearing shall be filled with iniquity, and the plague shall never depart from his house; if he shall offend, his sin shall be upon him; and if he acknowledge not his sin, he maketh a double offense.

Wisdom shall praise herself, and shall glory in the midst of her people.

The Gospel is the good news that God loves the world and offers salvation from sin through his Son, Jesus Christ.

I need to go tell my Dad thank you for letting my charge a couple thousand dollars on his credit card. It was expensive getting the air conditioning unit fixed. The electric bill is going to go down now.

What I want now is for Bub to come over once a week and for us to get down and dirty at drilling getting tight playing together every week. His kid has graduated high school now. I am pretty sure they live with Bub's Parents. It would be really good for everyone if we start working again within a budget,

But as soon as they heard that his brother Simon was made High Priest in his stead, and ruled the country, and the cities therein

For yet greater evils than those which thou hast seen happen shall be done here after

Almighty God, to you all hearts are open, all desires known, and from you no secrets are hid: Cleanse the thoughts of our hearts by the inspiration of your Holy Spirit, that we may perfectly love you, and worthily magnify your Holy Name; through Christ our Lord Amen - For Purity

The work of priests: Serving Christ with their bishops, priests (or presbyters) nurture God's people through the ministry of Word and Sacrament and pronounce absolution and the blessing in God's Name.

How are you tempted to worship other gods? I am tempted to trust in myself, my pleasures, my possessions, my relationships, and my success, wrongly believing that they will bring me happiness, security, and meaning. I am also tempted to believe superstitions and false religious , and to reject God's call to worship him alone. 

What is the "communion of the saints"?

The communion of the saints is the fellowship of all those, in heaven and on earth, who are united in Christ as one Body, through on earth, who are united in Christ as one Body, through one Spirit, in Holy Baptism.

God prohibits murder because every human being is made in God's image, all human life is sacred, from conception to natural death. Therefor, I may not take the life of others unjustly. For example they teach kids in elementary school that internet gun harassment and shooting someone with a gun is illegal. I think the reason why it defines rap music in a circle jerk because a lot of rap music puts murder in people's hearts. It's necessary to have an education to be taught to make a home not a environment that is identical to hell.   

Liturgy is an established pattern or form for the worship of God by God's people. It unites us in Grateful response. Once I have a jpeg file of Evan and Jed's college degree and a jpeg file of all four of our Marriage certificates that are filed at the Tulsa County Courthouse. Being that organized I would feel comfortable about having Eric Clark make a Methodose bass drum head image using the Star Of David symbol and because I had those jpegs on the computer where I manage our website. Using the Star David symbol would be balanced not unbalanced where people, if we were having sex and I had  illustrated proof that all of us are Married. We are getting closer to this being organized enough to where people wouldn't criticize me if I put that Star and Our band name on my Bass Drum Head.

Methodose having a steady gig.

I wanted to raise the question what would we play if we had a steady gig? I think it would be a really good idea for the four of us to start organizing a catalog of covers for Methodose. I don't know what Methodose's steady gig will end up being but if we work hard in the practice setting where we have a list of covers we can nail along with originals that is the equation where it will become more realistic that someone will have us play where we will get a paycheck for being on a stage.

It's not the right time to say "what would that steady gig be?" But it is the right time to practice enough to where, as a band, we are worthy that if someone offers to pay us play we can fill those shows.

I don't think Methodose playing at a restaurant every month and being put on a paycheck system is out of the question. All I want to say is we don't want to drive around playing on different stages to get popular but we make no money. What about learning a ton of songs and playing the same place every month? We would grow that way and be working to constantly to put new songs together as a band.

God is not responsible for Evil. 

The sinful choices of creatures do not implicate God in evil in any way.

Deuteronomy 30:15 - 19

I tithe to 6 different churches to celebrate the fruit of the holy spirit which is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self control.

While godly anger is a just response to wickedness and injustice, we are more often led into ungodly anger by fear, pride, and revenge. We should therefor be slow to anger and quick to forgive.

Morning and Evening 

The Daily Office is primarily designed for corporate prayer but it can also be used by individuals in public or private. Asking for absolution once in the morning and once in the evening  is something that is a necessary practice for people in projects to do to stay successful.    

Father Carl from Anglican Church of the Holy Spirit has called three times now to remind me about the newcomers class. Its at 9am every Sunday. I need to go. My plan is wake up the 28th a 39 year old, put on cackies and a tie, take a Adderall pill, and go to the church and pay attention, bring my catechism book for Anglicans. There will be communion with Wine. That is the plan. I need clean clothes and my meds before it would feel right. I am going to say the 28th I am going to the New Comers class.

My drum teacher I grew up with isn't teaching in Tulsa anymore. He has opened his second store in the Tahlequah area. What I will say about Berklee Online is I don't want to do it alone. Since Bub's son has graduated high school now if Bub worked on a home recording set up and we networked about school daily, we were eating dinners at each others houses, someone else was in Berklee Online too from Methodose L.L.C. then I could see signing up for another Semester. How it is now I just need signatures and drivers licenses from all four of us. We should all four do Berklee Online! 

20240617_154721.jpg

This is what is left from the two Methodose releases I packaged that Eric Clark pulled of from the audio of Jorges 2001 videos. I sent a copy to a record store to each city where a person from the Berklee Online class I tried lives to ask about consignment at a record store in each city. 

Once all 3 members email me about their gear and profile. I need cell numbers for Evan and Jed and I need all 3 of your addresses. For our host to set this up to where it's 4 terminals and it has a info hub they need cell number and addresses. Also I will go to the post office and mail all 3 of you a copy of each of these when I get your addresses.

There are the two Methodose Vinyl's I have had printed. There is probably 2 of each for sale at Star Ship Records and Tapes in Tulsa. 

I wouldn't try to spend the money to try and profit selling vinyl's again unless Methodose was at a point to where it was formed and organized. It costs $35.00 to get one printed from Kunaki.

Drum Mics

 

Whenever I got my Tascam pocket studio Michelle bought me my first kit of drum mics. I have 8 pieces on my kit so to mic each drum individually I bought a second higher end kit. It works well for home recording using my Shure SM57 and Shure SM54 for over head mics for recording drum tracks. Then where Eric Clark uses Studio One in an apartment where he is going to be able to afford and keep. He has kept a job at Walmart for 15 years. Micing up my drums and mixing them for home recording is a two-person job. That is our little Doom Fish ENT system of recording drums at my house.

Bub - amp

Be transportable-be mobile. From my Perspective Bub's Fender is his own nice Primary Guitar. I am really fond of the Fender Hot Rod Deluxe Combo amps. You should earn 1k and buy a nice combo amp. If we used my P.A. for private parties people would take us more seriously if I bought a sub woofer to go along with the 2 speakers on stands. My Mixer has floor monitor outs, controls for the outs, and a sub woofer out.

I have a direct box, where a xlr cord will go to the mixer and you can plug an acoustic or electric bass into it and run it through the P.A.

I know I saw how Jed bought his acoustic guitar. I know Bub has an acoustic Electric. This is the only direct box I have but I do have one if we want to run a acoustic through the P.A.

I turn 39 July 24th.  My primary instrument is a 8 piece Mapex Armory Drum Kit. I entertain the idea that eventually I will play the drums in a group of people where I would be able to handle my monthly bills by paying gigs. I entertain that idea but also to make sure I can always have something to fall back on when I put time into a project and it doesn't work is I did a 9 month Pharmacy Technology Diploma. That is how I got hired for all of my U/A collector jobs.

For everyone involved. To get content to me that regards the construction of this website email me at ericjohnson@methodoseband.com

I started Hubert's Quill during the two years Michelle and I broke up. I was a week away from graduating CCC and I stopped going because well I lost my fiancée  and she was the only one with a job. Hubert Humphrey was a Pharmacist before he was Vice President. He worked in a Pharmacy in Minnesota. My Pharmacy diploma was why we did that. The Quill was Eric C's idea but I really liked it because I wrote a letter to the White House using my right of motion to put Marijuana on all of the States ballets to vote on. I don't smoke weed but it really balances my Wife. 

There was a time in America when you could be Grandfathered into being a Pharmacist and it didn't require medical school and becoming a Doctor. There was a time when cocaine was in sodas in Pharmacies in America. But in the year 2024 where people are cooking meth in houses and cocaine is extremely illegal now how illegal drugs makes people unemployable but also the way they are with their guns makes me not even interested on working with them on things like Vacations. You can't let people like that mess with your money. It's more than annoying. Its more like I wouldn't invite them to my house because I am afraid they would bring illegal drugs into something that has cost my Parents couple hundred thousand dollars to get to where we are at.

My Dad has a client that he buys houses from the courthouse that are in weird situations and then he sells them for a profit. My first house became owned with a 70k transaction. To own the property we live in now it cost my Dad 145k. If you look on a google search of the progress of what this house looks like since we bought it we have done so much work on it. New Roof, Paint Job.

My Parents live in the neighborhood a couple blocks away. My Dad is going to retire with half a million, two houses paid off, and Pension - SSI which will give him 7k a month until he dies. He is in his 70s. He doesnt smoke.

When my Grandpa died and my Grandma went to a home to be comfortable she made the decision to tare down their house. That Army Airforce house isnt there anymore. It kept flooding.

I don't plan on moving again. I want to take the house my Dad bought me to its fullest potential.

In the event of a divorce there will be a replacement but the third time your debt will be really hard to fix. The equation we have come to where my Dad is only going to keep going at New York Life for another year it would be hard to afford to move again. Michelle and I need to learn to both keep jobs and it go for 30 years. We are set up to have careers. When you get really old you have to be careful of debt because debt will kill you if you are to old to work.

When getting a 2024 Truck I always think about selling our Camry and putting a fishing boat in the second space of our garage instead of having two vehicles.

I always talk myself out of it though. For two people to have two separate jobs of paid employment in a Marriage, it would be impossible to have two jobs that has responsibilities, with just one vehicle between two people. With both of us being able to hold good jobs that isn't fictitious places of employment our Marriage will be able to afford to keep 2 vehicles that aren't jalopies in good condition and we will also be able to afford to keep one kid in a safe vehicle ongoing so we can raise a son to know how to work, provide, and gather for his significant other when it comes time for me to buy a house for my son like the Bible explains a Father needs to do. Adoption would be a beautiful thing. I have lived it my whole life.

My Grandfather obviously had a gun. He made the start of his money by being a Sargeant in the Army Airforce in WW2. His house in Watseka Illinois was just one story. It was on an acre and the driveway was really long, black asphalt. There was a huge American Flag pole in the front Yard Acre. He was stationed on Aircraft Carriers in the Indian Ocean "India" during WW2 keeping China in Check from WW2 going further than it did.

 

My Dad and the best Man at his wedding were both Business Majors at Illinois State University in the Early 60s. Both of them raised both of their families without guns in their house. I had a bee bee gun when I was I kid but that is the only gun I have ever shot and a duck hunt gun on old school Nintendo NES.

 

With the idea of adopting one kid and bringing them into our marriage I will take the same approach by not having a gun in my house. Heaven is where home is. There will never be another World War. When the second World War was over the Governments, World Powers of the world put a system in place where World War will never happen again. There is 10 police officers that live in mine and my Parent's neighborhoods. We live in a safe part of town.

 

I have a nice pocket knife I take when I go fishing and that is it.
