It's the little things; that's what's big...Listening to music, going to concerts, being around my true friends, meeting new people, learning everything I can from my grandfather, being around kids, sleeping in past 6am, taking naps on my couch, listening to my IPOD, collecting quotes, drinking coffee, eating egg biscuits from McDonalds, lower level season tickets to the Washington Redskins, watching NFL football, drinking beer, consuming bottles of wine, shots of Jaeger, intelligent conversations, inquisitive people, going to bars, people who intrigue me, playing the piano, being introduced to new music, going to the beach, road trips, Italian and Mexican food, studying meteorology, history, and philosophy, taking pictures, playing spider solitaire and free cell, completing my concert scrapbook (it's never ending), SuDoKu puzzles, driving while analyzing my thoughts, and doing anything else I can think of other than grading papers from my lovely job.
I'm really not interested in meeting famous people. Most likely they will not meet the expectation of who I vision them to be. I rather live in ignorance. However, I wouldn't mind sitting down and having a beer or two with Demetri Martin, Matt Pryor, Nate Reuss, Claudio Sanchez, Ace Enders, Dave Grohl, Adam Lazzara, Robert Smith, and Zach Braff.
