We just got back, and as you can see by the time stamp, it is really late. Well, ok, its actually really EARLY, but whos counting? Anyway, the concert was absolutely phenominal. I couldn't believe it. I've been to some pretty nice concerts, but this one blew them all away. First of all, I have since learned that to listen to Flogging Molly on a CD ( Read more... )

I'm so excited; tonight is the Flogging Molly concert. Jason and I have been waiting for this concert for over a year, and they are finally in town. For those that do not know who Flogging Molly are, they can be described best as Irish punk rock... sort of. First of all, At least the lead singer is Irish, and they have a penny-whistle, a mandolin, ( Read more... )

Yep, its true. See, yesterday's review of "Cold Mountain" was the second draft. However, it was not supposed to be. I had just written up the original, when I clicked on the button to save it and post it. UNFORTUNATELY my computer, which had been a little slow all day, decided it didn't like my oppinions on the movie. It promptly moved to consume ( Read more... )

I just watched Cold Mountain, starring Jude Law, Nicole Kidman, Rene Zelwegger, and the guy that played "Frankie" on Boy Meets World. Okay, so that last person didn't star in it, but it did make my day to see him in the movie. Anyway, I thought it was an excellent movie... to a point... but I'll get to that later. I thought that every Oscar ( Read more... )

Today I bought a car. It is my car, and it is the car that I call mine. It is a 1991 Ford Probe, automatic, burgundy exterior, with 110k miles. I found it online at the Star Telegram website. It was being sold my a woman named Summer and her husband, who like to make some extra money buying used cars, fixing them up, and them selling them again ( Read more... )

Kill Bill: Volume II came out today. Jason and I both went and bought it, along with Volume I. We were holding out for the boxed set with both movies, but it doesn't look like there is going to be one. However, at Best Buy they have a deal where if you buy Volume II you get a free cardboard box-thingy that holds both movies and looks nice. So we ( Read more... )

My grandparents (mother's side, in Colorado) had promised me an old Volvo. A sedan. Now, I understand that it was going to be free, so I can't complain much. However, it is still annoying when you find out at the last minute that you're not getting the car. Basically, what happened was that they took it to get inspected by their family mechanic and ( Read more... )

Well, I did it. At long last, I finally did it. I am an Eagle Scout. I finished every requirement and I passed my Board of Review. I am an Eagle Scout. I am 1 in 100 (thats the percentage of Boy Scouts that make Eagle). I am so excited, I just might do a little dance. I know I've said this before, but one of the truly great things about being an ( Read more... )
