Peek a Boo!

Yeah, I'm at it again, I'm posting once a week, if I'm lucky. Fear not, friends, once my computer gets hooked back up, there's going to be some exciting changes. I can't wait to surprise, even stun you all. In the meantime, random shit! My parents are real happy that I'm with Janine. They're still understandably bitter from the ending of my marriage and how things went down, and how they're out 500 bucks, but they are happy that I've found someone who I can love and someone who can love me back in more ways than I can even imagine! The move is almost complete. I spent the day getting utilities moved, and tonight I go back to the apartment after Janine gets out of her class to get the last of it. I'm donating the last of my things to charity. I'm officially ready to start from scratch. I actually had a good time doing the heavy moving last weekend. I got to hang out with Wes, his friend Brad, Troy and Brendon. We got a lot of stuff done, but

Closing Another Chapter

This morning I'm back in my apartment, for the last weekend before moving and starting over again. I look around and I see relics and memories of the past year and it's all very much bittersweet. On one hand I see the failures and heartaches of the past year, on the other I see the bright, optimistic future that I'm starting this weekend. I see dashed dreams, but I see closure and promises of a better tomorrow. It's been such a rollar coaster ride including that ill dizzy feeling I get whenever I get off of one. I'm sitting here listening to Led Zepplin's Stairway to Heaven, and I remember the things that I left behind and the memories that only remain. I'm also sitting here excited and for the first time in a long time, I'm happy. I'm going to be ok. I never could convince myself of that until now. I'm going to be ok. I can only thank God for second chances, after getting a second chance, again. My life starts now. I'm ready.

It's Never Too Early

http://abcnews.go.com/Technology/ZDM/story?id=2337853 To start my Christmas wish list! This SanDisk mp3 player is a thing of beauty. It's similar to the iPod Nano which was the number 1 item on my wish list, but for the price of a 4gb Nano, I can get an 8gb Sansa! I would take that any day over a Nano. Even better, if I just get the 4gb model, I could be saving close to 100 bucks. Hint, hint anyone?

Funny URL's

I got this from someone at work, I forget who. See if you can spot the funnyness! 1. A site called ‘ Who Represents ‘ where you can find the name of the agent that represents a celebrity. Their domain name… wait for it… is www.whorepresents.com 2. Experts Exchange , a knowledge base where programmers can exchange advice and views at www.expertsexchange.com 3. Looking for a pen?

Worry Not, Single Friends

I am here to help those of you (guys) that are...let's just say female challenged. That's right, the worst pick up lines ever. You can thank me later! The word of the day is "legs." Let's go back to my place and spread the word. That outfit would look great in a crumpled heap on my bedroom floor tomorrow morning. I want to melt in your mouth, not in your hand. I like every bone in your body especially mine. How about you sit on my lap and we'll see what pops up? Will you be my love buffet so I can lay you out on a table and take anything I want? Why don't you sit on my face and let me eat my way to your heart? Baby I'm like milk, I'll do your body good. Is that a mirror in your pants because I can see myself in them. Hey baby lets play arm

I know, I'm a couple weeks behind the times. (I'm on Janine's DSL so the world is so much faster now) Kevin Rose was on the cover of Business Week recently and I'm thrilled! Good for him. Don't forget to check him out at Digg and for your geek fix, don't forget to check out TWiT . I will be broadcasting TWiT and Diggnation from my radio broadcast starting Labor Day weekend. Woohoo!

Richmond's Best Kept Secret

Image
Well it's no secret that downtown Richmond is the place to go in town to get drunk with friends, deal with really crappy parking, police, and gangsters alike. What a lot of people don't know that once a month or so Gojira-X visits and plays at Wonderland. I really like Wonderland. Janine and I went to hang out last night at Wonderland to enjoy a beer and friends. It's good to see the same crew there. I'm starting to get to know them and get more comfortable hanging out with them. They're all so nice and friendly and fun. Opening the night was New Haven, CT rockers, Murdervan . Check their myspace out, they have a really good grungy, punky, loud sound to them. Janine and I agreed we saw the second coming of Kurt Cobain too, the pic of the lead singer shows that! They are winding down their first nationwide tour. I like 'em and I hope they do well. Gojira-X always rocks and honestly as packed as that little bar gets, I'd like to see it wall to wall with people

Now What Have You Done?

It's ok, Salma. I'm once again changing my template. This one is simple enough for now. I will make massive edits over the next couple months in preparation to purchase thelewisshow.com, and then from there radio/video broadcasting/podcasting. Yay!

Tonight at Wonderland, downtown, don't miss Gojira-X and Murdervan! More info is linked on the title.

Mike's MIA Again

I've been around. Time has just been slipping from me. Random thoughts? Of course! This month I will be focusing on my move to Chesterfield. Janine's place is very nice, in a much nicer part of town and I'll have a yard..and a back deck..and a front yard...and DSL..and a fuckin' fox waiting for me when I get home! I can't ask for more. This had to have been the longest 4 day work week I've ever had to endure. I've been busting my ass at work...and it shows...I hope. The countdown has begun for Vegas. Janine and I will be heading out in mid September for 4 days of debauchery! I can't wait! The countdown is also underway for me to get my car. I have to get some things straight with dad and get the car fixed so it's roadworthy. Soon! I'm keeping Topaz. Now I have to train her how to use the litter box and not the fucking floor! I've been checking out the fall itenerary. I will be putting on my blog the dates for concerts that I simply will not m

Oh Happy Day!

I just noticed my boys from Warrenton got back together. I cannot wait for them to start playing live shows again! Between them getting back together and Unhinge getting back together, I feel I'm very lucky to be living in Virginia! Bleed!

Ozzfest!!

I'm not as sunburned or tired as I was the past couple of years, I think I'm becoming a pro at this Ozzfest thing. I had a blast though. Chad and Jessi came into town Friday night and Saturday morning we rode up. This was Janine's first Ozzfest and I was super excited for her to see everything. We left pretty much on my schedule, but I forgot and did not anticipate the traffic going to the beach on a Saturday, duh Mike. With the traffic and a power outage at the Rite Aid on our way to the venue to get water and sunblock we got there in time for Full Blown Chaos. I love the loud brutal New York in your face style of hardcore. Chad and I heard them asking for the crowd to chicken fight. There's no way with the asphault at the second stage anyone should do that! This was the first Ozzfest I went to where there wasn't gravel though. The Va Beach ampitheater was in much better shape than the two prior Nissan pavillions we had frequented in the past! Bad Acid Trip came ou

mmm Peanuts

An old man and a young man work together in an office. The old man always has a jar of peanuts on his desk, and the young man really loves peanuts. One day, while the old man is away from his desk, the young man yields to temptation and scarfs down over half of the contents of the jar. When the old man returns, the young man feels guilty and confesses to his crime. "Don't worry, son. I never eat the peanuts anyway," the old man replies. "Since I lost my teeth, all I can do is gum chocolate off the M&M's."
