About Me

All things that gleam amoeba can be found hereThe box was of a dented aluminum construct. The color was a matted red trimmed with a mute gold. This made up a border which encircled a portrait or picture of some forgotten significance. Two boys buried the box within the sandy bed of a hill by the swamp creek. Before burying they enclosed within the box a few treasures: a toy car, chocolate bar, an old British officerâ€™s whistle marked with initials, things of that nature. The two boys walked steadily back to the barn having buried their treasure. Leaving someone to find it, some years after. It only took about two hours until, out of boredom or sheer excitement, they decided to uproot the box. Immediately upon retrieving it they knew something was different. It was now lightweight, no musical clank when shaken. Only the speckled shine of a few grains of sand. Needless to say there was no anticipation of finding anything remaining within the box. The boys conjured up endless scenarios in which their treasure was taken. Perhaps the tendril roots of the nearby tree had taken the objects. Bundled them up and intended to use them. The boys were quite taken with this notion and went back to the site of their treasured burial. They couldnâ€™t quite ask the tree. But, something knew of their inquest. The air from the bouncing tree leaves blew back a tune into the boysâ€™ ears, harmonizing an answer. Myakka city was the place of such an event. Aaron Barnard and Jonathan Douglas eventually grew up. Jonathan met Erik Doren to play drums. Aaron met Dustin Pogen to play bass. Now Aaron records the trio.soon soon soon soon soon.
