Wow, Matt, there is some definate improvement in you keeping time 
correctly and coming in after fills.  Funky For Fun just sounds more 
musical than the other stuff you put up too.  Now your understanding 
the theory of keeping time every time.  Once you have perfected this 
art making more advanced pieces of your own is going to be extremly 
fun.  As long as you have a steady beat in your soul, playing 
whatever you want should come along nicely with dedicated practice.  
Congrats and welcome to a world whereever everything revolves around 
time and numbers.  To practice even when your away from your drumset 
try walking in a steady tempo, or pay close attention to the time of 
other drummers you like, wheather they're awesome or not.  Another 
fun trick I'm trying to master is the guessing of what time it is 
every so often.  A drummer must be aware and must know where in the 
measure of music he stands at all costs, just like in the song that 
are lives are, and your life will become, as a drummer.  Let us know 
when you post more stuff!  Maybe I should try a few beers 
sometime...funky!
