We're trying to figure out how an entire network of terrorist groups is financed and you give us one bomb maker. Hardly the big picture, wouldn't you say?

Everyone needs a hobby.
(Speaking of which and fun fact, I played the acoustic guitar from '08-11 but I stopped because learning music theory became stressful and I acquired no solace from playing the instrument. I started becoming less interested in the instrument and my teacher told me off numerous times. I've never picked up one since then. I initially wanted to learn the piano because you can virtually play every other instrument with it but somehow chose not to. How different my life would've been...)
(That's a shame. I've always had a lot of pleasure from playing guitar. I started to play bass when I formed my band (and love doing so- initially bass guitar, now double bass), and I've always been able to play piano. No lessons, ever. A broken finger about fifteen years ago has limited my piano skills- I'm still ok on ballads but I can't do rhythmic left hand any more.)
[It wasn't even the instrument, I might've even liked playing it. The teachers, particularly the music theory fellow, are what tore me apart from it. It left me not really wanting to go on anymore and time with school etc. was starting to get fewer and fewer. My parent's pressure was also there. Had not been those factors...maybe I would've even enjoyed it. I still have the two guitars I used.
Self-taught people are always better at what they do and that's a fact well documented in music. A hands-on approach is if nothing else, damaging for me. I discovered that a bit too late. Pity about your little finger .]

(It's Undertow, DP. I feel a bit of a heel mentioning it, but it's good for the sole, and it'd r-ankle if I didn't.)
(DP: What pun?)
(Undertoe. Moving up. Under her toes, "skirting the issue". I should draw a picture of how I imagined it. It's not a successful one, anyway.)
