monday morning reflections...

first and foremost. 2 bands.

maroon 5 and the early november. don't download them. purchase them. they are that good. they deserve your money.

november is emo yumminess... you know. the harsh lyrics and the lead singer slightly off key that makes you just want to melt. slurp. i suggest getting the "for all of this" ep before you purchase the full cd. everyone knows the eps are always better anyways.

maroon is rock funk wondrousness. lead singer reminds me of justin timberlake only not a tool. very edgy. very talented group. the kind of songs you memorize after the first time through because it got to you so bad.

hence my song of the moment.



the new house.

my room now looks like a room (and it's a sweet one at that). the basement has been cleared of the extra washer and dryer, now has the reclining sofa in position and the surround sound has been set up. the living room has now has all of the primary pieces of furniture in place... i even have hangers in my closet.

we moved about 2/5 of my stuff over early saturday morning and i spent some time arranging stuff last night. i really can't wait for this upcoming weekend. i'll get to that later.



QO colorguard was quite the experience last friday. the kids were off the hook, it being the last home game and all. while their performance was sloppy... i know they had an awesome time. and i also had a damn fine time cause some pretty cool people came by to say hello. then marib and i celebrated because the staff was being lame at the pub. again. lookin forward to this weekend.

went to PB's homecoming game on saturday after the move... i must admit the chinese food lunch experience was way more fun. their show was a good show... but the guard looked so bored. it made me really sad. i got even more upset when my fears were confirmed that a certain someone made it look like i was the one who didn't make an effort to help the squad out. prick.

anyway. i got in touch with some of my old squad and now possibly have a new rifle tech and a 9:30 club hook up. i miss allen a lot. it'll be a trip to work with him again.



party? i don't party.

heh. went to melissa's 16th burfday on saturday night. it was really cute. it's fun to be the only "adult" that's "cool" enough to hang out with the "kids." things became not as cute though, when the guys tried to dance with me and get candid shots of me "busting a move" with the wall.

then i went up to UMBC to hang out with Mike J. pay attention here, this is where things get hard to follow. Mike N. (my brother) and his friend Eddie were also both up at UMBC in preparation for a car show on sunday. so we decided to invite them along. Mike N. however, needed a little convincing to actually come. So Mike J. did the manly man thing and got him there.

i'll tell you... there is nothing that is as cool and scary as crap all at the same time... as partying with your younger sibling for the first time. now. i have hung out with my brother many times... but this was his first real college party outside of the ones i had at my place 2 summers ago.

mindblowing. i hope he had fun. haven't had a chance to talk to him yet.

that's because after he and Eddie bailed, we stayed until they kicked us out. my boys ran the beer pong table and i ran my mouth. i met a lot of people and had a shitload of fun.

i even had my first "lets go upstairs and fuck" attempt. no sugarcoating. no sweet talk. just hey. you're hot. i'm drunk. let's go. needless to say... his batting average was not as high that night as someone else i know. it felt good to shoot such a pretty boy down. not that i take pride in chipping away at the egos of arrogant preppy white boys, no. not at all.

the night was topped off when 2 PB kids from my first year teaching walked in on me playing beer pong. talked to them for a bit. crackheads.

we weren't done though. so we went to the Double T diner and got into one of the most drunkenly heated discussions i have had in a long time. it was riveting.

because our talk had ruined our buzzes... we took shots back at the apartment afterwards and played cards and such until at least 5am. my alarm ruined that dream of a night when it woke me up at 8:45am.

i'm still surprised at my lack of hangover. yay me.



so this coming weekend.

it's going to be phat. friday night is marib's burfday celebration at the dubliner in DC. saturday morning the boys help me finish my move (fingers crossed). then to QO by 3 for the last competition. 4 hour bus ride to PA. perform. get home around 3am. sleep in G'burg. heh. maybe. then sunday finish sleeping and head on up to laurel to settle in and celebrate my first night in the house with the pay per view and chili.

paint me excited. my weekends have improved vastly over the last 2 weeks. :)

now to work on the week days too...
