A lot has happened since I last posted so without further adieu I give you my past few weeks.
Picture if you will, yours truly all devilishly good looking walking towards a toddler. Now remember, I am tall, toddler is short so their head only comes up to my ass. And just as I am about to pass the toddler I have to fart. Dilemma? Deep soul crushing decision? Not really, because even though I could have literally farted in the kids face without anyone knowing I didn't. Just thought I should share.
There may or may not be coyotes howling outside. This alarms me.
Fun Fact, not only did they make a second Butterfly Effect, but there's a third!
Here's how you know you have achieved an awesome level of sexiness. When your friends tell you to keep your current look but you wake up every morning and hate yourself because of it. Only then have you truly achieved greatness, whether it be a bleached blond mullet, or terrible terrible facial hair.
Have you ever heard a song and felt like they were singing about you and your life? Like I was listening to Ted Leo a little bit ago and was like, you're right, I do got a whole lot of walking to do. Seriously though, today I heard a song and it totally floored me. I've posted the lyrics at the bottom of this blog.
First Impressions:
Taking Back Sunday's New Again is pretty much immediately forgettable. Not that there aren't some bad tracks but I've listened to it five times through and absolutely nothing stands out.
I've been listening to this band called Jackson's Kid Summer. It's alternating male and female vocals so obviously I'm digging it. Also they're playing in Syracuse this weekend with Straylight Run, Lovedrug and Good Old War. That's a hell of show and if I wasn't going to be in Boston I'd be a bit jealous and disappointed.
This is more of a second impression but Midtown's Living Well Is The Best Revenge has recently crept it's way up towards the top of my all time favorite pop punk releases.
I haven't been fully paying attention but new Placebo is sounding pretty good so far.
New moneen EP posted below is solid. Probably not as good as The Red Tree, but you can never go wrong with new moneen. Love that band.
Movie Thoughts:
-The Rock is becoming more and more like able by the day. Sure he's made some questionable movies but damn it if the man isn't charming.
-At the end of Journey To The Center of the Earth there's a bit of a teaser for a potential sequel as Brendan Frasier's character hands his nephew a book on the lost city of Atlantis. Needless to say I'm hopeful of a worthy follow up.
-Ghostbusters III is generating quite a bit of buzz lately because it's finally making some announcements. Up until now there's been no time table for filming or anything beyond that two dudes from the Office are writing it, but things are happening now and this has me very excited.
Boston Recap:
Fenway, is a dirty, cramped and smells of stale beer and that is exactly the way it should stay. Ball parks with that type of history shouldn't be improved or replaced(I'm looking at you Yankees) unless the building is literally condemned. Although it would have been nice had there been a quicker way for people to get underneath cover from a sudden torrential downpour, or perhaps if I had a poncho of slightly higher quality. But such is the price you pay, and now I have a crappy old phone. Also, large groups of people are very inconsiderate and won't move further back into covered area so other people can get out of the rain and not have their phones ruined.
Quote of probably forever-
As we were stuck in a torrential downpour the person behind us had this gem, "I feel like the poor people on the titanic. That's it, no more lifeboats, women and children first."
NYC Recap:
Once again I proved to myself that when on my own I'm more than capable of getting from point A to point B. But the second I have to lead the group things get dicey.
Planet Hollywood had a fair amount of ghostbusters stuff which I appreciated. But they also had a hand print from Ashley Tisdale! Which I touched, and it's like we've practically done it because I touch myself with those hands, so through the transient properties of plaster we've done it. And we're awesome.
Looking back at the list of bands I've seen, which can be found here, and it's either really awesome or really sad that I've been fairly impressed by a vast majority of the bands I've seen. Which if you're wondering and are too lazy to look for yourself is over 110 bands. Fun fact, I've added five bands to that list since summer of 07.

I can almost see it
That dream I'm dreamin' but
There's a voice inside my head sayin'
You'll never reach it
Every step I'm takin'
Every move I make feels
Lost with no direction
My faith is shakin'
But I
Gotta keep tryin'
Gotta keep my head held high
There's always gonna be another mountain
I'm always gonna wanna make it move
Always gonna be an uphill battle
Sometimes I'm gonna have to lose
Ain't about how fast I get there
Ain't about what's waitin' on the other side
It's the climb
The struggles I'm facin'
The chances I'm takin'
Sometimes might knock me down but
No, I'm not breakin'
And I may not know it
But these are the moments that
I'm gonna remember most, yeah
Just gotta keep goin' and I
I gotta be strong
Just keep pushin' on 'cause
There's always gonna be another mountain
I'm always gonna wanna make it move
Always gonna be an uphill battle
Sometimes you're gonna have to lose
Ain't about how fast I get there
Ain't about what's waitin' on the other side
It's the climb
Yeah, yeah
There's always gonna be another mountain
I'm always gonna wanna make it move
Always gonna be an uphill battle
Sometimes I'm gonna have to lose
Ain't about how fast I get there
Ain't about what's waitin' on the other side
It's the climb
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Keep on movin'
Keep climbin'
Keep the faith
Baby, yeah
It's all about
It's all about the climb
Keep the faith
Keep your faith
Woah, woah
