concerts

So...my concert buddy left me and I am left alone. John will hit any jazz oriented concert I ask him to go to and my dad and Gerry will hit guitar sit down shows; that leaves me by myself to hit the bar hopping/brawling be at the stage front and center shows by myself. I have asked my oldest son who just wants to mosh and be carried by the crowd to go to Devotchka but he stood me up.
So Fiona Apple and Damien Rice are playing the Tweeter in Camden, the country's most dangerous city (no lie) and Muse is playing Electric Factory and has sold-out ( i am kicking myself) and I am debating getting Snow Patrol tix's before they sell-out 'cause they are getting some serious air time w/Chasing Cars.
Now let it be known that my daughter already has Snow Patrol tix's cause I bought them for a canceled show whose date I could not attend, gave the tickets to my daughter and one of her best friends and the show has since rescheduled to a date I can attend.

I have three friends that hit a movie "solo" all the time...probably once a week @ minimum. I have never seen a movie by myself. Movies are not "social activites" in of themselves, but the after parties are. The thought provoking discussions after a movie are what counts. I have never desired to see a movie by myself, BUT I love "live music" and really enjoy being a part of the show/audience.

What's a poor boy to do?
A. Find another fellow concert goer?
B. Attend Concerts by himself?
C. Spend all his time blogging about his miseries?
D. None of the above.

I have tickets to see Ray Lamontagne and Guster this Thurs @ 7:00
Taylor!
Sean!
Aryn!

First dibs!

as an FYI....I am going to really try to get Muse tix's...you always want what you could have had but didn't get and now I have to seriously find a way to get 'em.
Snow Patrol...I am buying my tix this week. Thanks for all your help!

work and school and life

the question is; what is your life?

work- many people feel that work defines them and in many ways it does, but do you want it to define you.

school- all to many of us view school as a place of community and then extend that community to work. let's just tackle school. no matter how hard you try...school is not forever. the community you experience in school will eventually disappear.

life- so i ask...how do you define yourself. if a picture of you was in the dictionary and next to that was your full name how would the definition read. would it just say "human being" would it read like the fruits of the spirit, loving patient, kind?

don't take all of this too seriously, but do. I am still working on my defintion except for one thing....it is my attempt to be as Christ-like in all.

this was the serious post

DEVOTCHKA

2nite....is the nite....DEVOTCHKA!

i can't stop there...

What we have is precious (see previous post), life, on earth, is but a gift. Use it wisely. Take the time you have been granted (realize it has been granted) and use it for a purpose greater then you. I garden, I love music and I enjoy good food and watch cool movies, but what is there, here, that I can do but tell you of Him? He is my Lord, He is my rock...make Him your rock. He will allow you to stand firm. He will take your worries and cast them to the wind. Live life for the one who gave His life for you to live. There is no other way. There is no other road to follow, all other roads are dead ends. Think about it.

2:31 AM

Good nite America...be thankful for what you have.
