Best. Thursday. Ever.

I decided after lunch yesterday, that I would call Janine, who was off work, and invite her to join me at Best Buy for some geekyness along with dinner and a movie. She was agreeable so we met after work on Hull Street at the Commonwealth Center whatever that big area is.

It would be my luck that after searching in vain since my birthday to find a Wii that they would have 3 of them sitting there taunting me. I did not go to the Best Buy to buy the Wii so I figured it was fate or Murphy's Law laughing at me. I was there to buy Janine an iPod Nano. She is big into audio books and I figured now would be the best time to buy one for her. I love her and she deserves getting nice things from me once in a while...ok all the time, just whenever I can afford to do so.

She was almost in tears as she picked out the blue 4GB Nano. It is definatley a beautiful device. Watching her unbox it gave me a great amount of joy. Watching her learn how they work reminded me of when she brought me my big ass 80 GB iPod. Once she got used to the interface, she was excited how natural it felt and how much closer she can get to her books, her music, and even the podcasts. She later went home and found A&E's Biography podcast and downloaded several of those.

While getting ready to check out, she suggested that I go ahead and pick up the Wii too. I tried to resist at first, but I probably put up about as much fight as a rock fighting gravity. I gladly went and picked up a Wii, got the extra remote with Wii Sports, and the points card to download classic NES games. I was also about to cry myself. I was pretty much floored. And I got to get the last laugh with fate....for now.

We then went to Friday's to grab dinner and then it was on to see the Simpson's movie. I have to admit, it was pretty good. I think the best part of watching this movie in theaters is watching it with other Simpson fans. It gave me a better respect for this television show that's been on the air ever since I was in high school!

Once the movie ended, we made a beeline home so I could unbox that Wii and have some fun with Janine. It was very easy to install. I think we were up to about 2AM playing Wii Bowling and classic Super Mario Brothers.

All in all, a very, very, very good night. I am so lucky to have Janine. Everytime I see her I point to her iPod and ask "Who's iPod is that?" And she'll grin and say "Mine!"

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 ...

Under a Spell

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...
