Will probally confront Cal, My dad doesn't seem very happy about the way he is acting. Sorry to dump all this shit on you guys but I just needed to vent. Yeah Eric I understand what you are getting at, that Cal gets his kicks in this way but that doesn't necessarily mean its right. In other news I better get cracking on making a mecha or I'll be housed when they get their mecha up and running. Or I could wait for Ryu-Spawn to get off his ass and deliver one to me since it was my mind that created his whole mecha manufacturing empire. Combined with Tay's ideas for Neo-Atlantis and I think he owes 2 people mechas. Actually since he wouldn't even exist without my mind I think he owes me all the mechas I want. So pony up guys lets get our mechas of destruction.

Taylor you'll probably end up reading this, but here's some of the info:

Our members are Canadians who create or publish musical works. They can be individuals, partnerships or companies.

A music creator can be:
a composer who writes music but not lyrics
a lyricist who writes lyrics but not music
a songwriter who writes both lyrics and music
To be eligible for SOCAN membership, music creators must have:

created works that have been published by a music publisher, or
created works that have been recorded by a record company, or
created works that have been or will be performed in a public forum licensed by SOCAN.
A music publisher is the business partner in a musical composition. A good music publisher uses its knowledge and contacts to promote the compositions. Typically, a publisher enters into a songwriter-publisher agreement with the songwriter whereby the songwriter assigns ownership and control of the copyright-protected musical work(s) to the publisher, who in turn, earns a percentage of the income derived from the exploitation of the work(s).

A publisher is eligible for membership if it has signed a contract showing it has been assigned either:

five or more copyrighted-protected musical works written or co-written by a SOCAN member or by a Canadian, or
one or more musical work(s) featured on a commercial recording

oh no, don't get me wrong, i'm not trying to defend his actions in any way. frankly i think picking fights is rather infantile and only masculine in that it is brutish and lunkheaded. my best friend in elementary school- some of you may remember him from the news awhile back, Adnan was killed in a drive by though he was not even the intended target (his older brother who was the one caught up in bad gang shit) so i don't want to be alarmist, but your scenario is not entirely far fetched. your brother's actions are not only disrespectful of your father, they're disrespectful to himself - what he does is undeciplined and childish. ironic since martial arts (and i don't know shit about martial arts) emphasized discipline.

what i wanted to point out was just that it sounds like that's how your brother gets his kicks- that's "his own"

my advice, since you rightly pointed out that his actions affect your entire family, is that your family should confront him about his behaviour.

They even have an OUTKAST "Hey Ya" rip off in "REAL LIFE" but their dopest single hast to be "WAKE ME UP" YOWW!

I suppose eric, but a certain level of conduct has to be maintained in order to be civil. What if one of those people he picked on was a gang member and they attacked our house? Me, my sister and mom and dad are suddenly dead. Was it worth it to pick on someone over nothing and get this massive retaliation? This scenario will probally never happen but my dad didn't raise us to be thugs that walk around and bully people. He is basically not respecting how my dad raised us, he is not respecting my dad. He isn't your brother so you'll probally let his action slide but he is my brother so I have to be accountable for his behaviour. If not for himself then at least for the respect of this family. Once again sorry to rant.
