I wish my parents had the same reaction as my sisters

I didn’t plan on telling anyone in my family until I actually started to take hormones.  It’s not that I didn’t want to tell them, it’s just that I remember how my parents first reacted when I told them.  I didn’t want to go through that all over again on a bigger scale.
I was talking [...]

Ryan Adams - Easy Tiger

Well, I had planned on doing a review of Ryan Adams’ new album, Easy Tiger, but Brad over on thebignoob.com did a little review.  I’m a bit jealous that he’s going to see Ryan perform this, but I’ll just have to wait I suppose.

The Bonfire After the Party

The party went alright. We successfully surprised my dad, and I got his surprised face on video, although I won’t be uploading that. My grandma, who absolutely loves Ness, introduced her to most of the family that had come. We went swimming, played a little catch with my sisters, and then later [...]

By Starlight

I promised more memories from my first Mixtape a long time ago, but one thing led to another, and another, and that just didn’t happen.  But I’m here now and ready to write another one of my memories.
For some strange reason, I had completely forgotten about The Smashing Pumpkins.  I’m not proud of that fact, [...]

I curse surprise parties

I’m going home this weekend, or tonight rather when Ness gets off work, to attend my dad’s 50th birthday party.  Sh, it’s a surprise.  I don’t think he still reads my blog, and even if he does, he won’t read this till this weekend, after the party.
My sister, Stephanie, planned the party.  Things that she [...]

Queens of the Stone Age Album: Era Vulgaris (2007)

The new Queens of the Stone Age album, Era Vulgaris, releases on June 12th. For a sneak peak, you can preview the whole album on their website for free.
I’m a huge fan of Queens of the Stone Age, ever since high school. And their new album doesn’t disappoint me in the least. [...]

The Beginning of Summer Mixtape

Well, I announced this over a week ago and this was supposed to be up this past Monday, but due to some unforeseen situations, it had to be delayed. Lisa was a good girl and got hers up on time. You should check it out.
These songs aren’t necessarily “summer songs”, but [...]

Things You Should Know Link Wrap #2

Sports
I’m usually a fan of pro-basketball.  I kind of lost interest after Jordan retired and I never really caught the NBA bug after.  But being around Ness during the Eastern Conference finals and now the Finals, I’ve caught it again.  Seriously, she’s so into it, and it’s really hard to not get caught up in [...]

It’s where we all end up

This past weekend and the past few days have been hectic.  The same night that the Cavs beat Detroit and won the Eastern Conference finals, I found out that my uncle had died.  The rest of that night I tried to keep my mind occupied because Ness and I were celebrating the Cavs win, plus [...]

Things on my mind…as seen in the news

The other day, just before the most recent Cavs game (Thursday), Ness and I decided to go to Starbucks to relax. We had been shopping just before (I picked up some kick ass pirate flip flops from the Dollar Store) and we still had to go grocery shopping and go watch the Cavs game. [...]
