"Tell me how you really feel"

If I were to have to describe with detail what Hell would be like, I know for a fact that it would include a 4X5 office cube with a printer behind and office supply...oh yeah and people yelling at you telling you want to do or not to do and go here and go there...ugh... Hell would be a lot like my job. I got jipped into my job. I actually feel a lot like my dog Daisy when someone waves a treat in front of her nose and then walk everywhere making her follow and she believing that she is going to get that treat. In other words I came into my current job believing I was going to get a lot of 'better' benefits, but I only found open-ended promises... my job sucks. I commute for nothing really. I want to quit everyday...and it’s just flat boring. I thought this would be great because I thought, I THOUGHT, that I wanted to go into marketing...I can tell you with confidence that is a big fat NO!! I'm sure I'd enjoy it a lot more if it weren't in the Hospitality industry, but it is and it sucks bad. So there is only to look ahead. Look ahead towards Seattle!! Yes! Working for my bro and living in Seattle. It'll be awesome! I'm really excited for that work and to start getting involved in his company. I was supposed to be there four months ago, but it has been post-poned tell June-ish. But I am still stoked about it...plus I won’t be working for/with 'A' holes like I am now... SERENITY NOW!!

Bonnaroo, SOC, Rothbury... oh my!

K, so there have been very few things in my life that I have been STOKED to either do or experience...and most recently Bonnaroo is one of them. Had you asked me two years ago what it was...I would probably say it was an old TV show related to Zoobali-zoo. This year will be a blast for so many reasons but most importantly for umm I dunno ... freak'n PEARL JAM!!!! In the Mid ninties I told myself that there area few bands that I MUST see before I die... DMB, BB King, the Reds, and Pearl Jam. I will be going insaine! I am so excited. The only problem is the $...right now tickets are $209 and they'll go up anytime to $245...I think I will just start selling my organs on the blackmarket for so serious cash flow...Either that or win big in Vegas. I will be there...I mean I need to be there. I can hear it just calling me. It has to happen and somehow it will happen!! "Oh yes...she will be mine!"

And something that I am thrilled about that will be happening sooner is this. Seeds of Compassion. It is a five day peace awareness festival in Seattle, and 'I' will be there...of course not just me but with Whit and friends. I feel it will be great, on April 11 Dave and Timmy will be playing a show after Dave and the Dalai Lama sit down and talk about how music can bring peace to us all and peace to all nations. I think it'll be tight. I'm excited. PLUS!! it is super cheap to go to seattle now...so I say right on for heading North! If you haven't seen Tim Reynolds play...it is a must see. He brings a whole new meaning to truely 'KNOWING' your guitar. Check it out http://timreynolds.com/homepage/ He is amazing. Then you got him playing with Dave Matthews?! It is an amazing show. I saw a Dave and Tim show in Vegas in '05 and it twas SWEET!

Then there is a Festival in Michigan called the Rothbury. It'll have such bands as the Dave Matthews Band, 311, John Mayer, Widespread Panic, Modest Mouse, and much more. Check it out at http://www.rothburyfestival.com/ I'll try to make it to this one...but who knows...it again takes money moneies! ... Who's in with me?!

Ready...set...FIGHT!!

So the battle of the movies have begun! You have Team Tard up first then we got Ash Your Trash up second...who will win?

Carter Carter Carter

I tip my hat to one of the greatest drummers of all time. This man is who taught me how to handle the drums. Carter Beauford is playing here with Bela Fleck and the Flecktones. He is just a cool groovin' maniac on his set. This is just a taste of the phat solos he throws down. If you ever have the chance to go see him it'll totally be worth it. As drummer for DMB, he will totally steal the show and blow your mind. I'm stoked for this years tour. I already have plans to see alot of shows this year... the three night concert at the Gorge in Washington being some of them. Ugh..I want it to be summer already. I'm sick of this cold.

One for the Road

Don't we just radiate Sexy?! Oh yes we do!! "Harry!... You've got that crazy look in your eye!"

Foggy Vision

So normally in my everyday life I could care less about politics and their standing points and who did what and yadda yadda yadda. But a week ago today was Super Tuesday, and all I heard about that day was, Vote for him! ... Vote for her!! McCain McCain McCain!! So after hearing this all day I get home to find that my sweet ol' mum has the radio blasting with radio talk shows and the TV following the like polls. I don’t ever get involved but later that night I decided to sit down with mudda and watch a few speeches.
Now I'm not claiming to know everything but I do know a little about some of the candidates that are running. Example, Obama and Clinton are not for the war. Now, I don’t know about you all, but I am an American. What we have is freedom. What we breathe is freedom, and what we speak is freedom. This doesn't just grow on trees. This is a right that we and our grand-fathers and Great grand-fathers have fought for, and what we have are too many self-centered spoiled children of Uncle Sam that don’t understand that if Obama or Clinton pull the troops out that there will be more problems. That if something happens, Obama doesn’t want war. I feel that they will curl up and suck their thumb in a corner or lock themselves in a closet in hopes that whatever the problem is that it'll go away. We are a Country, and we have to fight for our country. If we have a weak leader as our president, how are we supposed to feel protected when the time comes? I'm not a huge fan of war, but I'd go if my country asked me to. Why? For our Freedom and the Freedom of our children...that’s why. I strongly believe that a lot of the voters today are blinded and have a blurred vision as to who America is and what we stand for. They are too self-involved in their ideas that they forget who we really are. We are Americans and we fight for the right to party! - Beastie Boys - These are just my thoughts. There are always Pros and Cons with everybody...nobody is perfect. I am undecided as to who I'd vote for. I'm not for any paticular party, and or candidite. I think we should just get all new runners and start voting all over again, with nobody that is currently running! Just take them all out and put in all new people and see if its any better of a selection.

Mind Blown!

Many scenes in our modern day cinematic adventures have taken the high road and blown my mind. Such scenes have consisted of the aerial shots from Gladiator, powerfully thick drama that is given in A Few Good Men, and the killer connection that the audience has with Bambi and his daily struggles in his wee life. But about a month an a half ago I walked into Provos beloved movies 8 to see, Across the Universe. I had really no idea what to expect aside a few no-name actors singing remakes of the Beatles. I was blown away! Everything was perfect, not one thing was bad or out of place in that movie (except for the two back-up singers during "It won't be long" and one spazy Priest, but other than that...GREAT!).

The above scene is one of my favorites. For some reason I wanted to stand a applaud the movie when the soldiers are carrying the Statue of Liberty on their backs. It is so great how Julie Taymor, the director, just creates this entire storyline with these songs... very artsy and very moving. This is and will continue being one of my top favorite movies of all time!
