My boring Day
I just brought the Garden State Soundtrack never saw the movie, but I love it. The only reason why I purchased it is every time I would go to the Orange Cat in Lewiston the song "Such Great Heights" by Iron and Wine covering the Postal Service just takes me to an interesting place.

Today wasn't all too bad. I had the day off. I am going to be strung out @ work for the next two weeks. The whole going to school thing plus working a screwed up schedule as I have for the past 6 weeks is going to end in about 2. They are finally going to hire 2 people and alleviate the pressure that they have been putting on everyone. The money from tips was excellent, but I am at the point where I just could care less, I want a normal life back.

Spent the early afternoon with my Dad. Dropped him off @ the dealership to get his car serviced and we ended up heading downtown. Stopped @ Chef's, which was excellent as I had the linguine with clam sauce and we split an antipasto. That place is just SOOO GOOD!

I love that CD. And 'such great heights' is prob my fave song on it- except I hate the iron and wine version. The postal service one is way way better. In my opionion... But i am working on a new mix, peeps, so keep your eyes open!

Off to NYC
Category: mini vac
Although I am still throwing stuff in my suitcase I am just about to head off to the Airport. Hopefully (e:dragonlady7) is working so I can grab a POP or two before I fly off to Laguardia.

All I could be doing is starting off the weekend right, since a Bachelor Party is what I am heading down there for.

Underwhelmed
Yea Sloan is playing TatS

I am pretty excited about this one.

Back in '93 my buddy Brian Jenkins and I saw them @ the Continental. We were 2 of about 15 people at the show. We later concluded since it was directly competing against UB's Springfest with the Headliners being The Black Sheep.

I am think I am going to actually buy my frist T-Shirt @ the square from any band.

I just hope that they play Underwhelmed which was the song that basically summed up the relationship that I had with the girl that I lost my virginity to. She was the Salutorian and I well..Yea. Just listen to the song and read the lyrics.

Then there is "The Other Man" and "The Good in Everyone"

This should be a pretty good time.

Interesting Morning
Category: shady
So this morning after a night of being "up to no good" I ended up @ Spot Coffee on Elmwood about 8:30am or so. So here I am in my Jagermeister T-shirt, Casino Hat and jeans surrounded by people dressed with intent. Needless to say I looked like a guy begging for your change in a sea of professionals. Even the guy behind the counter had to ask again to the register what I ordered [earl grey tea] since he actually thought I ordered a amaretto!?!

So I just sat outside played with my phone and ease dropped on a conversation of Real Estate Developers from downstate looking to "Invest" in Downtown, Hertel and Fredonia.

This is what happened when you have too much "darktime" to playwith and you don't have to be at work until Noon.

Current song in my head: Sheryl Crow "All I want to do"

getting out of dodge
Category: trips
So given my current state of life I am taking a much needed excursion out of WNY. So I'm going to NYC for my college buddy's bachlor party. I booked my flight last night and am going to be there Fri, Sat and Sun. It is strange since my one friend D* that is moving away is going to be there at the same time. I also though a couiple of (e:peeps) are heading there as well. I never thought I would go down there since it has been about 10+ years, other than just being @ the airport.

It should be interesting to see how much trouble I can get myself into with a local connection.
