I am yet to finish writing the complete experience of the best roadtrip I ever had.  But, I have to tell you guys about my newest venture.  I finally got my first break as a sound engineer.  Last night, Keith was running a big show at Stagestop with 3 big bands.  It was an ass kicking night of hard hitting rock.  I didn't want to miss that and had ( Read more... )

Part I

The most eventful roadtrip in my life happened last weekend.  My colleague David Waddell aka the redneck from hell , his wife Linda and I set out on Saturday morning on a road trip to Atlanta; primary destination - The Masquerade Music park for the Gigantour concert on Sunday evening.  I was a bit unhappy that my best friend Dilip couldn't ( Read more... )

Well, I think it has been more than 6 months since I wrote in my LJ.  It has been a long time; not that there is nothing going on in my life.  In fact, I have become real busy to even read my friends' LJs.  Ever since I bought the Jeep, I have been exploring the machine by driving it across several back roads in Tennessee, exploring the ( Read more... )

Dr. George Sheehan says sprint running is all body; middle distances are a combination of the body and mind.  But, the marathon is all mind.  A marathon is 385 yards, 26.2 miles or 42.2 km.  The distance is standard and exact.  There are no exceptions.  The distance seems almost ridiculous to win and compete.  Most of the time, it is hard enough to ( Read more... )

Well, I finally did it.  I bought a spanking new Jeep Wrangler X of the 2007 make.  It costed me a lot and lets say I am terribly broke now....hehe.  Besides that, the other dream which I had since last year was fulfilled yesterday.  I broke the barrier - A 205 pound monster of blood and flesh and bones - The Nazgul, running and finishing a ( Read more... )

It has been months since I came back to the LJ world and wrote about anything.  I have had many things to ponder and write about and several times I have been more tired than lazy to jot them down in my journal.  Since December, I have thrown myself into a strict plan of marathon training.  I figured my plans for music can wait, until I finish the ( Read more... )

BLIND GUARDIAN - LIVE AT THE TROCADERO (and Roxy Theater)

It was a frosty night in Philadelphia on that Saturday, the second day of December 2006.  December is not a month to stand outside in the cold night for more than an hour in any city in Pennsylvania.  The Trocadero is a small club which hosts numerous concerts, mostly of the heavy metal ( Read more... )

Well, I did it!!  13.1 miles in 2hrs 27mins.  And I am so happy!!  Wooooohoooooo ( Read more... )

Its Wednesday night 10 pm.  Next morning, I gotta get up at 4:30 and run a little over 6 miles.  And then, the big wait till Sunday.  That day will be my first half marathon race ever.  The wait is almost restless and jittery.  I have got nerves already and there are 3 more fucking days to spend till the race.  I am sitting here in my room with my ( Read more... )

Yesterday morning was another mild personal achievement.  As a part of my training, I ran 13.16 miles with 11:58 pace and finished the distance in 2hrs 50 mins.  I finally hit the half-marathon mark in running.  I felt great but, my knees were so fucked up in pain and soreness that I couldn't walk later on.  All I did when I came back home was ( Read more... )
