Happy New Year!

-
I like how Kelly put it in his blog. Two Double Oh Seven! Yeah, it's finally here. This has been one long ass, crazy year. I'm going to put everything in recap form in the next week. For now, I am packing up and getting ready to head to Annapolis with Janine to bring in the new year with her friends. Annapolis is a really cool town. I like how it has a New England feel to it. It almost feels like I'm walking the streets of Boston.

We won't be hitting the bars, thank goodness, so we can both relax have a few (ok, several) drinks and bring in the New Year right.

This has been a crazy month of death too. Former President Gerald Ford passed and he is currently laying in state in DC. I am glad to see him being remembered as a gentlemen and someone who was thrust into a bad situation and did his best to heal a troubled nation. He did a wonderful job considering the bullcrap he inherited after Nixon's resignation.

Saddam was finally executed over the weekend. He now joins Hitler, Pol Pot, Stalin, and others in a very special hell. I'm hoping Barry Manilow music is played there 24/7 personally. I just know I wouldn't want to spend anything resembling an eternity listening to Manilow. I would rather vomit my vital organs, eat them and vomit them out again, and again. Ok, that's gross, you get the point.

James Brown passed away this month too. Now I'll admit I have about as much soul as this cup I'm drinking out of, but his music was always moving. He had an intensity that few could match. I just remember Rocky IV and Apollo Creed's entrance music. I'm always saddened by the passing of great musicans, but his music will live on forever.

I hope everyone has a safe holiday weekend, please don't get wasted and drive out there. I'll be on the roads and I won't appreciate eating a stering wheel or windshield. Unless it's covered in yummy chocolates! Happy 2007 everyone!

Last Night

I had a ball last night! Janine picked me up from work and we headed to Regency to grab some food and pick up James , who come to find out is a huge Sevendust fan and a lot of fun to hang with, more on that later. We headed to the Innsbrook Pavilion which looks really nice as far as outdoor venues go. There was your typical heavy police and security force there, and I don't blame them considering the copious amounts of alchohol that was being consumed by everybody. There was some band playing already out of Boston, but I wasn't impressed. Come to find out later the guy I was headb anging with during Sevendust was their guitarist. Soil came on next and I'm sold. I had doubts about their new lead singer, but he had a lot of energy. By the end of the set he was down in the circle moshing with the kids and hippies who paid for those tickets. As it started to get dark, Sevendust came out and blew me away again! The entire show was good. There's never a dull moment between th...

For My Friend

I moved to Richmond in September, full of aprehension. Many of you by keeping up with my story know full well the ups and downs that I have faced. I was very fortunate to land a great job in October. After a lot of rejection, and fear for losing everything I started my new job with that same fear I had when I moved to this city. I was crammed in an office with Kelly Stern. He is such a kind, patient, gentle soul. He showed me around and I got comfortable working there really fast. I smile when I remember one of my coworkers talking about us giggling in there all day. I had fun those days. It did not take me long to find out that Kelly was gay. He mentioned living with Jeff, and I put two and two together fast. Kelly listened to my troubles, and gave me sound, firm advice. He has been so helpful to me also by taking me home from work almost every day and taking me by the grocery store to get supplies. I would not still be here if it was not for his help. I cannot think of a way to ...

Here's a rundown of what I've been doing over the past several days: P layed with my iPod, played with my iPod, played with my iPod, played with my iPod, played with my iPod, played with my iPod, played with my iPod, played with my iPod, played with my iPod, played with my iPod, played with my iPod, played with my iPod, played with my iPod, pla yed with my iPo d, played with my iPod, played with my iPod, and played with my iPod. I know, I've been slacking on the blogging, I've slacked on my radio station. I suck. The station is back on the air again, so please tune in, metalheads. I'm obviously updating the blog now, so that takes care of two birds with one big, smooth, stone. New Year's came and went pretty quick. Janine and I hopped in the PT Cruiser and rode to Easton, Maryland to party with her friends. I had such a good time with them. I can see w hy Janine is so close to them. They're all so laid back and fun and genuine people. We all got pretty tipsy...
