A New Girl In My Life

When it rains it pours. I have more good news for the interested readers out there. It's official. I have a new girlfriend. I've been waiting to post this, but, now that it's official, I've decided why not. Her name is Danielle and she and I are a match. I hate to go into too much details, so if you associate with me you'll meet her at some point. Below is a picture. To quote the Beatles, "It's getting better all the time."

It's Finally Mine

It's official. I am now a home owner. As of 1/18/06 at 3:00PM, I signed the papers condemning me to the middleclass burden - a 30 year mortgage. To all those who felt I'd never be capable, I would like to extend an unsophisicated "FUCK YOU." Within the last year, I have closed on a place of my own, got a promotion, traveled to Canada,and other things that escape me now. It's been a very good year.

Bands I've Seen

Over the last eight years, I have had the pleasure of seeing many bands live. There is nothing like being able to see your favorite artist and/or band in person. I've been making a list and here is the list so far. There are probably some I missed. Since I will be officially acquiring the new place next Wednesday, concert attendance may be far and in between for a bit. We'll see.
