Dave Matthews Band
So I went back to my first Dave Matthews Band concert in three years last night. Although I live in constant fear of overuse of hyperbole, it was in a word, Incredible.
Great sound, great company, great seats, terrible weather that did not affect me under the shell in the slightest.
I love the new songs, specifically "Why I Am".
If you want to hear the new album for free go to:

Incredible.

Friday Music-On Wednesday
Going to Dave today. As Sid would say, either going to be really good, or really bad.
Lake George etc.
Lake George is beautiful. I know this because I just used The Google to search for this image of the the picturesque lake.
The Lake George that I saw however, the fleeting glimpses between the trees and the drunken haze of this past weekend looked nothing like this.
I thought that it would. I packed a beach towel, swim trunks and sun screen. What I found however was beer for breakfast, a Buddabrew© and a guy who managed to simultaneously puke and piss to help two women complete their scavanger hunt.
I honestly did not know that my body could digest that much alcohol.
I was once again reminded why I would never, ever put my life in the hands of my college roommates. I love them for what they are, which is awesome but unreliable.
My brain has been in a sort of fog for four days as I try to recover. I somehow convinced myself, while in this alcohol induced fog, that getting last minute tickets to Dave Matthews today was a good idea. I literally decided I wanted to go less than 24 hrs ago. I am feeling a bit reckless I think.

Obama's Supreme Court Nominee
I have not been paying a ton of attention to politics. For a few reasons. Firstly, I voted for the guy because I trusted him to make good decisions, so I feel a sense of calm, making it unnecessary to pay too much attention.
Secondly, it is baseball season.
I am feeling good about this though.

Once again proving that Robert Downey Jr. is the man.
This looks awesome. Too bad it doesn't come out this summer, I could add it to my summer movie line-up.
Speaking of my summer movie line-up. I am going to miss the opening weekend of Terminator, Salvation. I am going camping all weekend, which will as Sidwould say is either going to be really good, or really bad. That being said, the movie looks friggen awesome. And seeing as Star Trek was better than Wolverine, it only stands to reason that Terminator will be better than Star Trek, and so on.
Sorry for the lazy writing lately. I have been brain dead since school ended.
