10 31 and 7

Where on earth did October go? This is usually not one of those months that fly by, but I'm looking at the end of the month tomorrow and it still feels kinda like September.

What's been keeping me busy? Windows 7 has taken a lot of my free time this week. Between helping Dad upgrade his and upgrading mine, it's been a pretty time consuming process. Especially since I had to do a clean install. The OS is just as smooth as you hear on TV. I may post a review of 7, but I think I've been using it so long, I would miss worthy details.

Halloween has crept on us, and we're ready to hand out candy. Sadly with Janine working, we didn't decorate the way we wanted to this year. We did some decorating this year. Well, Janine did some decorating this year, and did a really good job. You can see the entrance to our house below. Spooooky! Next year, we'll make up the lack of spirit (oh, a pun) by spending Halloween in Disney World on Halloween for our honeymoon. That will be magical.

As the weather gets cooler, my old nemesis has arrived. I'm once again confronted by fallen leaves. With some help, I'm hoping to conquer this problem early and often this fall saving me from spending an entire year cleaning them up. I may have been losing the war, but I may win this battle. Maybe.


It's pretty much full speed ahead otherwise. We're staring down another holiday season which means we need to map out travel, set a budget, make a list, and check it twice. I'm not planning on forgetting this holiday though. Happy Halloween. Be safe out there, kids.

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...
