Oh Glorious Friday

What a shitty week.

Glad I got that one behind me, and a good weekend is just about to begin.

I wanted to share with you all one of the best places to hear new music. It is a little show called All Songs Considered on NPR. I stumbled on this one day about 2 years ago when my friend Caro gave me a bunch of new tunes to check out. I was liking one, and did a search on the ol' google, and they had recently been featured. I think I spent 4 hours a day that first week listening to the old archives, it's a good site.

Have a good weekend.

Really?

Yeah really.

I have been a neglectful writer lately. Not much to talk about really, been more in a live it phase rather than a talk about it phase. But I am entering a period where I need to keep mind occupied and writing is a fun way to pass time.

In my past month of living, I've done some cool things, learned some stuff. Had a real strong coincidence occur. Randomly thought about someone I hadn't seen or thought about in over a year, then the next day our paths crossed for a seemingly inconsequential moment, but yet it had a very poignant effect on my thoughts at that time.

I'm going to sign off for tonight. I will be posting more again for the foreseeable future, I can't promise everyday, but as much as I can.

I leave you know with a couple of cool things I have seen recently. Peace

Awesome Thom Yorke interview on NPR

Orange you glad I didn't say banana

So not much to talk about today. Had the day off from work, and took that time to have a couple of doctors appointments. Got my eyes checked, and as much as I like the doctor as a person, I hate going to the eye doctor. Even now typing about it, my eyes are getting sensitive. But somehow I did not get any more blind over the past 2 years, amazing. I also went to the regular doc blah blah blah.

The only thing I got on my mind these days (at least that I'm willing to write about right now) is moving. With Bryan going to NC for a couple of months sometime in February, we may be selling the house sooner than expected, and I'm excited about that.

I've also been watching a bunch of Wizards games lately, and how bout those 2 wins over Boston? This team is going to be a force for a few years to come. They may not make huge waves this year, but they have a chance to at least get to the second round, depending on match ups. But the young talent they have growing right now, coupled with the vets just getting into their prime gives me good hope for the future of this team. So in a couple of years, we will have a dominate football team (with JC at the helm) and a dominant basketball team (with Agent Zero and Tough Juice leading the way)

Long Time/B-day Wrap-up

Hello all,
It has been a while since I last posted, and my only excuse is that "I have been busy" which is a lame-ass excuse. But since my last post, I have turned another year older. Really, I've just aged a few days, but I am now in my last year of my 20's, oooo scary.

So a quick recap of the weekend festivities. Went out with a bunch of people on Saturday night to a bar in Falls Church, Dogfish Head Alehouse. It is a cool place, with great beer. But they close at midnight, on a Saturday what the hell is up with that? So a couple of people missed out and that sucks. But I still had an awesome time, and I think everyone else did as well.

Here is a video of my friend Dave entertaining us with his crazy parlor tricks:



After the bar closed, I went back to my friend Jason's place with a couple of people, and we drank more and played some music. I learned that I am a kick-ass tambourine player, and that a tambourine blister looks similar to another type of blister.

I didn't have a dreadful hangover, but I wasn't feeling chipper by any stretch of the word. So I hung out and watched the NFL playoffs on Sunday.

Sunday night though I celebrated mine and my fathers b-day (Jan 17) with the fam at Flemings (we are so predictable). and while I normally would not have drank at that event, we did a vertical tasting of Joseph Phelps Insignia, one of the best wines in the world. We had 6 bottles between 6 of us...and moms didn't drink much.

Well they are starting the office b-day extravaganza since we have 3 b-days in our department this week, so I'm off for more food.

Peace

Me no like getting colds

Well happy new year to you all. So far it has not been the best year, I started the whole thing with a mild hangover that decided to morph into a cold, that cheeky bastard. So I've been sleeping, drinking OJ, and destroying a bag of Cold-eze the past couple of days, but I think I'm almost out of the woods. Good byproduct though has been my desire to smoke has been declining, so if this is the time for me to quit, it may be a little easier.

I was talking with a friend about music the other day, and she was asking how I can listen to as much as I do (I listen to about 5 albums a day) and we got into a discussion about where to listen to music. I have the "pleasure" of living in DC, so my commute is about 45 minutes each way, that's two albums right there, then I have music playing when I am at my desk (between the endless meetings) But she does not have these opportunities, and was looking for other ways/places to listen.

Where/how do you all listen to music?

Also, if you checked out the post a couple of weeks back where I posted the videos of RPM/Panacea, and liked what you heard, they have a show this Saturday at IOTA. Come check them out, I'll buy you a drink.
