Good evening fellow life forms. I am back again with another post to satisfy all of your cravings to know what has been going on with me. Haha.... I really need to edit this layout. As awesome as it is, I've had it for way too long. Time to think of something else.
Last night was absolutely AMAZING. My Dad and I went to see The Who at Mohegan Sun. It was definitely one of the best shows I have EVER seen. Let me tell you, Roger and Pete may be older, but they are not the least bit out of shape. They are still as good as they were 20 years ago. And the only reason I know that is because I've seen videos. I really feel privileged to be able to have seen them. Considering a good majority of the bands/singers I like are either dead, or don't tour anymore. I'm telling you, I should be a lot older than I am right now. I was definitely born in the wrong generation. My next mission is to see Def Leppard. I can't have Def Leppard break up or anything before I get to see Rick Allen play the drums live.
Anyways. Back to the concert.
The opening band was REALLY good! They're called "Inward eye". There were only three of them and the lead singer was playing bass which was cool. They had kind of a classic rock sound to them even though they were younger. Definitely a good opening act for the Who if nobody else from their generation could open for them. And their drummer was AMAZING. I'll have to look up more info on them. I swear, The Who playing Baba O'Riely live was worth everything it took to get there. I'm SOOOOOO happy I got to go. And a big thanks to my Dad for getting me those tickets for my birthday :-D. I spent the night at my Dad's last night. But I didn't hardly sleep by any means. I was way too wired when I got back. That and I'm not really a huge fan of sleeping on couches. My couch is WAY comfortable, but other couches just aren't. I've never been one for sleeping on them. But Anyways. I was just awake watching TV. I watched the end of "Sabrina" and a bit of "Funny Face" (I think it must have been Audrey Hepburn night or something) then switched over to That 70's show and Frank TV. All the while, I was talking to my buddy Angelo for about 2 1/2 hours. Haha. Finally decided to shut off the TV and try to sleep around 3:15. Don't think I was too successful though. Was woken up early by my Dad because we went to visit My grandma in the morning. Then I came home and crashed. I was SOOOO Tired. But overall it was a fantastic day. I'm sooo glad I took yesterday and today off. Was definitely the right thing.
So yeah. Stuff has been good lately. Things are starting to calm down which is good. I'm thinking about making some changes in the next couple years, including moving out of state. It's a long story, but I really can't stand this state anymore. I have to get out of here at some point in the near future. Hopefully if things go the way I want them to, and the way my goals are set, then It will happen. I want to get back out to Arizona. It would suck leaving certain people/things behind though. I don't know. I'm not moving tomorrow, but sometime in the next couple years.
Anyways. I guess that's it. Time to go get ready for bed. Maybe I'll actually sleep tonight. :-P

It's been a really long time since I've written in here...since June! I really should get this thing back up and running again. I haven't done anything with it in so long, it's just been sitting here. I have 527 posts on here! I would have had more but a while ago there was some kind of a glitch with it and I had to erase everything. But it's funny going back and reading the stuff I wrote back in high school. I think this goes back to 2002.I don't have a link up for my archives though so only I can access them at the moment.
Anywhoo, things have been pretty good I guess. I've kind of gone through a drastic spiritual change recently. My faith has been totally boosted and restored. It's weird, it all happened so fast too. I became a totally different person in 24 hours. I'm so much happier now :).
I bought a book on Alibris not too long ago called "The Everything guide to Walt Disney world". I still have hopes of getting back there sometime soon. I can't even begin to explain how much I want to go back. I know I've said that over a million times, but it's so true. It is fun to go through my book and read about all the stuff and recall all the fun things I did there for the month and a half that I was there. *sigh* oh the memories.
I think the next phase of my life will be to move back to Arizona. I don't think that will be for a while yet, but I'm definitely putting that on my "To do" list. When everything is okay with Scott again, I think we'll move out there together. I know he had definitely thought it was a good idea too.
I am WICKED excited about going to see The Who. SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO excited. When I have an opportunity to see one of my bands I tend to go for it because most of the people I like are either not touring anymore, or are dead. Like Elvis. But even if he were alive, he would be in his 70's...probably not doing much. lol. The Jethro Tull concert last month was beyond amazing. I'm so happy I got to go. I found myself listening to Emerson Lake and Palmer when I was driving back from Suffield today. Haha, They were the first concert I ever went to...it was them and Jethro Tull. I was about 6 or 7 I think and I really liked "Black Moon" by ELP so my Dad took me to see them when I was just a little tike. Probably not a good environment for a kid that young to be in considering everyone was drunk all around me. But I had an awesome time. Haha. Just a young little rocker.
Been thinking a little bit about the holidays. It's already October for crying out loud. The Pumpkins are out at church and I'm signing up whenever I can to work at the patch. I love being there. It's so great. However whenever I sign up to work it almost always rains. Hopefully It won't this coming Friday though. It's so relaxing sitting out there. I absolutely love my church. That will be the hardest thing to deal with when I move to Arizona...Leaving my church behind...wow, I don't know if I'll be able to handle that. I'm sure there are other fantastic churches out there, but I've been going to mine since I was about 3 or 4. Wow...again, so many memories. Anywhoo, yeah, I've been thinking a little bit about the Holidays. I know for sure that I'm going to make my own Christmas cards this year instead of buying them. Not only is it more personal, but It'll save me a hell of a lot of money. And I love making stuff :). I'll probably have to start soon though. It's going to take me a while to make 25 cards.
Well, I think I will close this post. It's getting a bit late and I should think about going to bed...Work tomorrow early. *yawns* Must kill early.....
