The King’s X show at the peppermint was awesome. I thought we played really well, and the guys in King’s X were super awesome. I got to talk with Doug Pinnick for awhile and we shared some annecdotes. The whole crew was amazing, and treated us like they were our crew, it was one of the most positive live experiences I have ever had.

King’s X is one of the tightest acts I have ever seen. Playing together for 20 years definitely makes a difference.

Yeah. You heard me. We’re opening for King’s X. It’s gonna be a big rock show for the prog rock kids in Virginia Beach (and by kids, I mean 40 year old men who’ve been following King’s X since th 80’s).

Tickets are $15 and will be available through Ticketmaster. Click here for directions to the Peppermint Beach Club.

Special thanks to Big Daddy Productions.

I saw a picture of the Capitol on a user’s PC and the filename was The White House.jpg

Kim thinks its revolting when I come out of the bathroom with a book under one arm and a coffee cup in my other. The thought of drinking coffee while dropping it on the one doesn’t sit well with her at all.

Sometimes coffee is my only real reason for doing something.

Last night we went to a mongolian barbacue place and I went a little nuts (didn’t eat any rice, but I love that bread that they serve). This morning I weighed myself and I am 226lbs!

I really should be blogging more often, huh?

Wouldn’t it be nice if you were one of those dudes who doesn’t own a cellphone and never checks his email?

I’ve never comprehended the pretense that because you share an elevator with a total stranger, you are required to make eye contact and do that goofy closed mouth half-smile to them or pretend to converse with them about shit no one ever wants to talk about. Leave me the hell alone, you wouldn’t ask me about the weather if we were walking up fucking stairs together.

You can be anything you want to be. Now please use your turn signals.

“All this being said - I just don’t get it. I absolutely can not understand how a vote for McCain can be perceived as anything except a vote made out of fear of the future, possible racism or personal greed matched with a self-righteousness against those that need a leg up. If voting and paying taxes are the only two duties we have as citizens of this country I don’t see why you wouldn’t vote for the candidate that seems the most inclined to improve things for everyone (the entire nation / the world) instead of just one particular individual, yourself.” - Michael Eades
