Six Random Thoughts: (in no true order)
1. I'm going to start a band called The Awkward Paws.
2. To the moon and back...three times
3. Yup, growing a beard for some reason. I am sure I will get rid of it by the birthday. If you've not seen pics of me with a beard, boy you are missing out.
4. The next few weeks are going to be crazy! I don't have a low key weekend until June 13th, and even then I'll be recovering from London
5. I am slowly becoming quite a reader.
6. I'm excited to start writing music reviews again.
As for real life people - I'd like to meet......In no particular order: Ryan Adams, Dean Smith, Rex Chapman, Ben Gibbard, Kari Byron, Kat Von D, Conor Oberst, Jenny Lewis, Zach Braff,Rachel Ray, Nick Hornby, Cheska Totti, Chuck Palahniuk, Rachel McAdams, John Cusack, Andre Agassi, Schuyler Fisk, Eddie Vedder, Jack Johnson. Andy, of Cheesesteak Fame. And if you don't know who Andy is, then you have not lived my friend. Ask me or any other kid thats ever been East of Raleigh. Andy's. It'll change your life.
Also I'd really love to meet the inventor of the hot air balloon so that I could ask him why he thought that wicker propelled by fire was such a brilliant idea. I'd love to meet the first man to ever yodel so that I could kill him before anyone else heard that vile sound and had the thought that it sounded "cool". Hmmm, the creator of Hamburger Helper,a drunk version of myself so that I can see if I am as stupid as my stories would indicate, the 1982 NC Tarheels, anyone who can eat an entire can of Spam and not be sick, and Coach K so that I could kick that bastard square in the shins. The man or woman who wrote "I'm a little teapot" so that I could thank them. That songs gotten me through some hard times man. I am sure there are more, but that will do for now.
I just want to meet cool people that can make me laugh at their dumb stories.

I never was a TV guy. Then I got DVR. I can't miss Scrubs, The Office, My name is Earl, Entourage, The Family Guy, Lost, Heroes and 24. I DVR shit that I have no intention of watching sometimes too. If there is something I get interested in during a commercial, I DVR it. It's my favorite invention.
