Hipsters, Birthdays and Orange Tic-Tacs

Last night my wife and i were invited to go see Interpol at the Ryman in Nashville. Our friend Donny and his girl were going to celebrate his birthday and they had two extra tickets. We met them downtown off of Broadway at Layla’s and had a couple of drinks before heading to the Ryman. Layla’s has a great vibe, great music and great drinks. My new fav is the Stoli Orange with Red Bull…tastes like a tic-tac! Now if you have never been to or heard of the Ryman Auditorium i highly suggest looking it up online. The rich musical history and heritage of that place is amazing… not to mention the acoustics. Anyway, i had heard of Interpol and heard a few of their songs…. i have even seen part of their set when they opened up for the Cure here in Nashville, but other than that, i didn’t know much about them. Wow! What a show! The seats we had were 8th row, center and i everyone in the crowd was either dancing, singing or bobbing along to the music. Amazing, to say the least. After the show, we went back down to Layla’s where the other three continued to get “silly” as i like to call it, while good-boy Jeff became Designated Driver Man! So, water and soda for me… Then, we were off to East Nashville to this little place called Nico’s which turned out to be the coolest bar ever. Pin-ups, motorcycles and great music.. my kind of place! Nico and his dad were there tending bar and both were very cool to us. We left and headed home after what was one of the best nights i have had in quite a while. Here’s to good times, good tunes and good friends! Cheers!

“Money! It’s a gas….”

Well i just finished up reapplying for financial aid for school. So far i think i am up too about $20k in loans. Yah, it is a lot, but it is a necessary evil. Otherwise there is no way i could be back in school, finishing my degree. Personally, i can not wait to get a job in the Information Technology (I.T.) field! I have always loved computers and anything to do with tech. Now if i can only think of what area i would like to go into. Maybe programming, maybe databases, maybe networking, maybe whoever hires me first?…. who knows? Anyone want to hire a guy with no experience and who almost has a degree?

“Life is Pain”

So, i have been reading my good buddy Skip’s blog as well as his cool-as-heck brother Spike’s blog and they have inspired me to give it a go and let the world know what makes me tick. (As if the world cares about this little speck) So, here i am world! I have given birth to this insight into my scary little mind and am waiting for the Doc to smack me on the butt.
