Blogging.

Man, I like to think I do ok at this whole blogging ideal, but Kevin Smith has turned it into an artform. He's someone who maintains a lot of interesting projects and is very informative in his blogging. Not to mention entertaining throughout. I highly suggest you check it out by going here. Given, it is in message board format, so while technically not a blog, he has the idea down.

Evidence of the Rockin'. 

Athens Twilight '05

One six-pack of Pacifico: $7.00
One bucket of ice: $1.00
One steak Cubano hold the mayo: $5.00
The cleavage at Caliente Cab: Priceless.

Sorry, had to start it that way, as it was a joke that needed to be made.

Yesterday afternoon I jetted out to Athens, as Athens Twilight '05 was happening and one of my all-time favorite bands (Cracker. That's Cracker with a "C," not a "K" or an "Uncle," understand?) was playing for free in the heart of downtown Athens, GA (The birthplace of R.E.M). I have to give a shout out to Pete "I Think Elves Are Hot" LeBlond for letting me know the Cracker Soul was running through town.

Anyways, I jetted out there in time for us to catch Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy via Fandango and grab some dinner. Let me just say the movie was excellent, even as a die-hard fan of the book, I have to give them credit. But dinner. Man, oh, Man was dinner something. We went to some shack called Caliente Cab that had the best Cubanos I've ever had, gorgeous girls everywhere, friendly waitresses, gravel for floors, umbrellaed tables, buckets of ice & limes for $2, a fucking creek running through it, and to top it all off, it's B.Y.O.B. How the Hell do you top that? You don't, you just grab a six-pack or Pacifico and enjoy yourself. That's what you do.

After that, we made it into town and searched and searched and searched for a free parking space until we finally just said to Hell with it and paid two bucks for a one. Sometimes Athens is a pain, but it made up for itself in one fail swoop. It presented the Beer Pen. The Beer Pen was a makeshift bar that was built in the middle of the street to make it easier for the concert goers to get a little fuzzy during the show. Given, there are only like 200 bars in Athens (You can see a short list of them here), but two steps to a beer is better than ten, so the Beer Pen was born. I call it the Beer Pen because it looked like a huge play pen, but with a bunch of drinkers and a car parked inside of it. Excellent is all I can say about that. It was a pretty stellar night in the A-Town, bottom line.

Books.

See all those books? See them? Look at them. Mocking me. I should be reading them instead of writing about reading them, but for some reason I'm in a literary funk and can't seem to bring myself to pick one up and just go with it. I LOVE reading my books, it makes me feel smart and worldly, but lately all's I seem to have the energy and attention span to read is glossy, unsophisticated, punk-ass magazines with celebrities on the covers. What the Hell is wrong with me? 

Camera + Picasa + Free time = I dunno. 

Sometimes life is just GOOD. 

Any Given Sunday.

Today was yet another pretty decent Sunday. I woke up earlier than I thought humanly possible on a day off (7:30 a.m.) and drank nearly an entire pot of coffee by my lonesome. I watched last night's repeat of Saturday Night Live featuring Mr. Jason Bateman as host via TiVo, then had some bacon and eggs. I did nothing for a while and then decided I needed a brand new digital camera so I went out and purchased a mighty fine Kodak that I've been screwing with ever since. Good times! Also, I feel that I should mention it's Lisa's 32nd Birthday today, so I made twice-baked potatoes with green onions and sour cream, some steamed snow peas, garlic bread, and aus jus to go with the massive steaks I've had marinating for two days. Now I'm going to put on my pajamas, grab a cup of coffee, and watch "Guess Who" because I have nothing better to do. Ha!

Streaking, the REALLY good kind.

Something amazing is happening with the Dodgers. I can't go into details, because I'd hate to jinx it. You can see what's happening by going here. Just don't say anything about it because you'll end up killing it.
