Ah...memorial day weekend. I've had people ask me what i did this weekend. I think the more appropriate question is what didn't i do. Friday night Alex (two mentions in my blog in a row...he's becoming a regular) came down and we went to Moser's party. It was lots of fun involving Blue Moon and inverted jello shots (which i did not participate in).

Saturday was May Day. Chevelle, Breaking Benjamin, Three Days Grace, and Chris Cornell was there. Chevelle was good (what we saw of them anyway), Breaking Benjamin was awesome as always, and Three Days Grace rocked! Chris Cornell however....not so much. I have often thought that the reason i liked Audioslave was b/c i liked Tom Morello, now i know that for a fact. He was alright...but he wasn't great. We actually left about 3/4 through his set and our car was parked near his tour bus. As we were leaving some 16 year old traffic directors told us to stop. So we wait, and wait...and wait. There are no cars coming...there is no one walking...nothing. Totally empty road in front of us. After about five minutes i get out of the car to see what the deal is. They tell me "We're waiting on an escort for Chris Cornell." I say "But he's still on stage!" They tell me "well...he'll be done in a minute." And i say "By the time i get through here...he'll still be on stage!" They just say sorry and i go back to my car. A guy a few cars behind me had also gotten out to see what the deal was and he asked me what was going on. In my very classy way (and by classy i mean laced with profanity) that we are waiting on a @*#% escort for Chris Cornell, who is still on the !#@* stage. When i get back into my car...the 16 year olds decided to let me through. I suppose they can listen to reason after all!

Sunday morning i drove up to Fort Wayne and went to my old church and then i went to Sarah and Ryan's. We went to a cook out and then saw Spider Man 3. It was lots of fun except Ryan's friend. He refused to lean back in the theater chair b/c he might get lice. Are you serious? If you are that concerned about that kind of thing...you should not be out in society. Oh...and throughout the entire movie he kept making comments like "This is gay." Seriously?? Seriously! Freaking ridiculous! There were two people sitting between us and i could hear him loud and clear. Completely unnecessary. Nothing irritates me more than someone who feels the need to criticize everything. Clearly you think your opinion is so important that all the rest of us want to hear it. No thanks. Today we just laid out in the sun and took a nice walk.

I'm pretty wore out now.

I know you were all concerned...but i am in fact alive. So let's get all the update stuff out of the way.

Occupational therapy finally worked...it just took a while to kick in. I'm back to lifting weights, and will hopefully start playing tennis with Hardy soonish. :-)
Work is going well. Nothing really excited to report on that front. It's just work...however...i will say that on the whole i feel more at home in Indy than i ever did in Fort Wayne.
Columbo is doing very well. He is as ornery as ever but that's the way i like him.

Goings on:
This weekend is May Day with Jackie and Hardy. Breaking Benjamin, Chevelle, Three Days Grace, and Chris Cornell. Yes...it's okay for you to be jealous. I'm also going to Fort Wayne to visit Sarah and see the belly. :-) I'm very excited.

Last weekend i went to a housewarming party for deMarco with Alex. Who is Alex you say? Oh just some guy i've been hanging out with for a few months.

I'll be back in SC in August and over Thanksgiving. I'm not sure i'll have time to visit with people in August. Thanksgiving looks more promising. I may need to get away...my mom is getting all hormonal on me.

Complaints:
I was watching NBC Nightly News last night. Can i just say that the average Bush supporter is an idiot. NBC is notorious for being liberal news...whatever that's fine. But a woman complained b/c Brian Williams referred to Bill Clinton as Mr. President when addressing him. She ranted that no former president (and by that she means no former DEMOCRAT president) should be called Mr. President. "That distinction is only for the current president". She also (not so) subtly suggested that NBC was slighting Bush by implying that they don't consider him the president. Hello!!! All former presidents have been referred to as Mr. President. That's the way it's always been. I would suggest you get your facts straight before you blast a national anchor on TV, b/c it just makes you look like an idiot when he publicly corrects you. She said at the end of her e-mail that she's going back to the "real" news, Fox. Last time i checked...Fox was no more the "real" news than CNN. It's just the "real" news that you want to hear.

The 2008 election is rapidly approaching...so expect more politically charged blogs. That is...if i can remember to blog.
