I think it's funny that you care so much!

About Me

don’t understand: emo haircuts, asymmetrical hemlines, the tiniest bit of French, how not to procrastinate, people who aren’t from the ....UK.... constantly using the words brilliant and bloody

allergic to: shrimp, isms

attracted to: tattoos, uniforms, great cologne, man lines, people who remember birthdays, white man dreads, mohawks, shiny things, great hugs, people who will argue politics with me and not get offended, badges, people with manners, people who know the words to the Star Spangled Banner, people that say bless you

afraid of: hobos, spiders, fireworks, the closet monster, sushi, needles, falling off the sidewalk and being hit by a bus, Irish Car Bombs

not afraid to: speak my mind, debate you, be creative, CH it up, admit that I watch NASCAR, work my ass off, fall on my face, shoot a gun, tell people I love them, sneak snacks into movies or go to a second show, be crafty, relish the cheese factor, wear bling bling, confront abusive personalities, shoot Jager Bombs

hate: U2, racism, people who can’t keep their promises, mornings, litterbugs, morons, slow drivers, doing laundry

love: taking surveys, impromptu sing alongs, razor sharp wit, the city of Boston, concerts, UGA football, freebies, getting flowers, giving presents, smoking cigs, funny t-shirts, nine inch nails, buttons, catalogue shopping, my iPod, road trips, mixed icees, the Red Sox, marching band competitions, room dwelling, seeing the So So Def Records sign when I come into town, blasts from the past and walks down memory lane, Riesling, people who comment on blogs, Coors Light, safety bars, my friends, mp3s, going to the theater

know how to: kill scorpions, cook like Martha, speak a little Spanish, drive well, operate in a court room

need to learn: how not to kill sea monkeys, to be less critical

use: Google and Wikipedia daily, the word random constantly, my eee-er eee-er skills often

no use for: back stabbers, vinyl

believe: marriages can last, carrot top is funny, you can never have enough purses, in cosmic timing and déjà vu, sparkly rings are the best, you should recycle your cans, pictures are better than autographs, bing bonging is a great way to communicate, Pistachio and ..Rocky Road.. are tied for the best ice creams ever, Democrats are smarter than Republicans

don’t believe: in love at first sight, private schools are better than public, gum stays in your stomach for seven years if you swallow it

never: had a pet, remember jokes, drive drunk, been to ..Europe.., have enough music memorabilia

always: drink hazelnut coffee, sleep with the fan on and the TV on a sleep timer, get the job done, wear perfume, quote movies

good at: sniffing out drug paraphernalia and child molesters, trivial pursuit, stalking and stakeouts

bad at: text messaging, returning phone calls, accepting rejection, saying no

A bit of lala-ing about Serj Tankian and Fair to Midland

I have seen high school bands that had better sound mixes than I heard at the Roxy on 2/11/08.  The upside down mix all but ruined Fair to Midland's set.  This is a vocal driven band, in my ...

Another fine evening with The Bravery

I have seen the Bravery a handful of times in the last few months and this show at the Roxy on 2/9/08 was, at least to my immediate recollection, the best of the best.  Song selection was key her...

Since Henry mentioned him 3 times last night Ill blog about Marilyn Manson

Janis, Lisette and I decided to check out the Marilyn Manson show at the Tabernacle on 1/22/08.  You may be asking yourself why&and I was doing the same thing.  Basically two words sum up th...

Hate hurts!

I just went to drop something off at the front desk of my office and I found something that made me want to throw up: I am not kidding, I feel sick to my stomach to know that people still do things l...

Are you ready for Tuesday?

Tuesday is the big primary day here in the great state of Georgia.  Do you know who you are going to cast your ballot for? This election has so many incredible issues on the table, reasons t...

On the right track: Drop Dead, Gorgeous and Haste the Day

Not a single picture exists to document mine and Melissa's humorous visit to the Masquerade on 1/18/08.  Maybe that is because we already stuck out like sore thumbs at this show&or maybe it's bec...

On the right track: Killswitch Engage

On 1/16/08 it snowed in Georgia  that never happens.  In fact, people tell me that it happened in the last couple of years, but I don't recall it at all.  The only snow I ever see seems to ...
