Failing Systems
It’s been a while since I’ve posted a “here is what I did and this is how I feel about it post” so here goes: Nothing and very little. It’s been a fairly stressful last week and a half and the lack of sleep combined with an emotional rollercoaster ground me down, and that has [...]

KHUBS Radio And Carissa’s Wierd Part I
Back in my LoFi days I stumbled upon Carissa’s Wierd (yes, “weird” is supposed to be misspelled, I’m not sure why, maybe just to trick people) and am glad I did. Carissa’s Wierd is a rainy day band that has fit my mood perfectly over the last week or two. I missed their last show [...]
Goodbyes
I can�’t remember the first time I met her. She had always just kind of been around – coming to my brother�s birthday parties in Jr. high and high school. I don�t even remember ever being introduced to her. I�’ve always just known her. My earliest memories of her were of when I would go [...]

Hashbrowns And Ice Cream
After work on Wednesday I and went and grabbed a bite to eat form Swing Thai. I brought it home and stuffed my face while watching the hockey game. The game lasted well into the evening seeing as how it went into double overtime. After the game I decided to head over to the hippy [...]

Pure
I should start by pointing out that Rebbecca Ray was only 16 years old when she began writing Pure, and it shows. However, this isn’t necessarily a bad thing. Because the novel is about adolescence, Rebbecca Ray’s age while writing the novel keeps her closer to the subject matter. At the same time, her age [...]

Down & Dirty (Easter)
Just a quick run down of my weekend. On Friday I went out to the local haunt. I grabbed a bit of dinner and watched the Avs playoff game. Afterwards I headed over to the hippy bar for a couple of drinks. Nothing exciting happened and I didn’t meet anyone interesting. A pretty boring night [...]

My Plastic Me
Despite being absolutely exhausted yesterday, when I got a call from my brother to join him and Pandy for sushi, I couldn’t resist. I don’t know that I have ever turned it down before. We went to Sushi Heights which is, in my opinion, the best sushi restaurant in town. After chowing down on a [...]

I Am Republic Plaza
The I Am The World trade Center show last night was really enjoyable. The opening bands were the local The Very Hush Hush who were just ok. Nothing special really and they only played like 3 songs. The other opener was Paper Lions, they were pretty good, great rhythm (bass and drums) section. They sounded [...]

MTV Dissapoints Once Again
Last night when I got home I turned on the TV. The channel was already tuned to MTV so I watched TRL while changing out of my work clothes. They were having a spelling contest with a very attractive female who looked about 29 yrs old. The woman was a Jr High teacher who had [...]

Rainy Day Weekends
Lot’s of good sleep, good times, and an hour mysteriously taken away at midnight on Saturday seemed to make the weekend fly by. I headed over to my brothers on Saturday where I found out that our kickball game this Friday was canceled due to rain. I wasn’t that bummed, I just hope there is [...]

Serious Fun
Give me more fun stuff. I want more fun stuff to take up my time. I don’t want all my time spent working. Watching American Idle, sleeping, polishing my shoes, mopping, and cooking frozen pizzas. I want fun. I’m having fun. But I want more of it. I want so much fun I can’t get [...]
