fight.
When I was young, I was quick to fight. I thought that if you got yours I could never get mine. I learned over time that we will both be fine.
Fingers.
The fingers that once brought so much pleasure now only serve to point the blame.
SXSW 09
I had this great plan this year that I would tweet each band I saw as I was watching it so that I could keep a more accurate count of shows. However, the AT&T network took a big shit during SXSW putting a quick stop to that plan. So, here is my official band list from this year. I didn’t make the goal of beating 50, but I did get to see a lot more quality bands this time around. And...

A fine line between inspire and dissuade

Apparently I say really funny stuff while I am sleeping. I also seem to worry about others as well. E has threatened to keep a pen and paper by the bed just to write down these amazing pearls I unleash. People are encouraging her to do so. I am on the fence.
