Ramblings

Not quite 10 years ago Soundgarden broke up. The other day Audioslave effectively broke up. I was hoping to see them in concert sometime. Poop. I missed my chance. Next time one of my favorite bands come to town, I'm going to try like hell to go.

Speaking of bands, I had a chance to see one of my future nephew's (brothers, fiance's, son[hahaha]) band. They were playing at a place called the Grog Shop in Conventry. My brother-in-law and I got there fairly early so we had a chance to see a couple of other local bands. The first band was called "Substance". I thought the lead singer sounded a lot like Kurt Cobain. The next band was called "Cliff and the Clavins". The were very entertaining, well to me anyway. The best part was that lead singer looked just like Shirring! I could see him fronting that band. It was funny. Anyway...Osyrus played and they kicked ass. I'll probably be going see them again soon. As for Cliff and the Clavins, they said that was their last show! Damnit!

In other news, as I was posting this the animal planet taught me something new. There is a bird in New Guinea that is poisonous. What would have thought? It's called a Hooded Pitohui. Pretty neat.

Astro-Nut

That was probably my favorite term the news called that NASA chick.

I really don't know what to say. My mind has been all over the place. I feel like I'm constantly in work mode. Even right now. I had my first work dream in a long, long time on Friday. I wouldn't say I'm stressed out about work. I haven't felt a huge amount of pressure, but I feel if I let up for even a day, I'm going to be screwed later. I guess the big thing going on now (for me) is some discussion about the big Utah trip. The project manager wants me to go April 1st thru the 25th. I knew this was coming up for, oh, about 3 years. For a long time I didn't have a problem with traveling for this project. I'm not too hip about missing a holiday though. It's not like I need the overtime from the traveling anymore. The last month i've been averaging 60 hours a week. That is the reason my boss is'nt too happy about sending me away for 3 weeks. I'm needed here, and I would get to sleep in my bed. Oh, and I'll be getting all the overtime I could need.

Anyway, here's things that happened since my last real post:

Wrecked my car avoiding deer on the freeway. I feel lucky I wasn't hurt.

Turned 27. Wtf? Wasn't High School, like, yesterday?

Paid off a few more debts with tax return money. Gained a car payment :-(

Started listening to classical music again.

Ohhh, and I'm the real father of Anna Nicole's kid....Boo YA!

I'll be back sooner than later...
