An apology, some movie talk, and more.................

I want to start off this edition with an Apology. I didn't realize that my friend Amber also posts on Blogger.com as well, so I should also thank her as well. Speaking of the site, I Love how I can type and it will save automatically, so far I have absolutely no issues at all with blogger.com! It rocks!! Thanks Amber! and Caiti again! and anyone else I forgot OK? There I think that should cover it.

I think I feel a Batman obsession coming on. A few months ago, I bought a black t shirt with a yellow Batman symbol on it. Today I bought a steel Batman symbol key chain. I am telling you July 18th can not come fast enough. Actually July 11th I believe that Gotham Knights DVD comes out (I can't remember if that's the actual title), so July will definitely be a very cool month Batman wise. Perhaps it's not obsession, just buying little things here and there will tide me over until I finally see "The Dark Knight" in the theatres, yeah yeah, that's the ticket.

I have now put over 300 songs on my Ipod. I believe it can fit around 2000. I don't know if I will ever have that much on it, but it will be a nice goal to try and accomplish, that's for sure. I have put every studio album from Pearl Jam on it along with music from various other bands, it's very cool that all that music can fit on one little square doohicky, modern technology, ain't it cool???

Ok...........what in the heck is up with these gas prices????? we are at $4 a gallon? From what I understand, and I know little about the situation except the prices so bear with me, we may reach $5 a gallon? Are you kidding me? Is there anything we can do to stop this crap from happening, and having the gas prices actually go down to a normal rate? Heck, what is a normal rate now? I remember when I thought $1.50 a gallon was too much, Ridiculous!

I have seen a couple movies since my last blog, so I guess this is the perfect opportunity to review them. Don't worry, I won't be like some people and ruin the movie for you so you don't go see it. Even if it's a steaming pile of crap, I will say nice things about it so you're tricked into going and I don't have the burden of being the only one I know to see the craptacular flick. The first movie I saw a few weeks ago was "Speed Racer". It was done by those dudes that made the "Matrix" trilogy. I loved the first "Matrix" and still have not forgiven them for the other two. That all being said, I thought "Speed" was pretty good. It was much better than I thought it would be, which really isn't saying much. I think it's safe to say, if you're a fan of the cartoons, then you will probably like the movie.

The other movie I have seen recently is "Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull". I am ashamed to admit I never saw the other three movies in the theatre, but I have seen them. Regardless, you don't really need to see the other three movies if you're going to see this one. I thought it was a pretty entertaining flick. It was by no means Oscar worthy, but it's a summer movie, you go see a movie during the summer to not think about anything and get away from it all. You also hope that the movie you are seeing is a rollar coaster ride of a movie, and the new "Indy" definitely fits in that category.

So I was glad to see the Celtics won game 5 tonight, to lead the Pistons in the Eastern Conference finals 3 games to 2. All they have to do is win once more and they are in the NBA Finals. I have to say though, that even though I am a Celtics fan, I still have a hard time caring about them. I feel like they have tried to buy themselves a title this year with the big moves they made in the offseason, picking up Ray Allen and Kevin Garnett. I feel like anything but a world title would be a disappointment, like with the Patriots. This all being said, I will be very happy if and when they win the title this season.

Getting back to movies, I think the next movie I am looking forward to is "Sex and the City"..........just kidding. I heard this movie is really long, so I think I will wait until it hits the cable channels. The movie i was really talking about is "The Incredible Hulk". The previews look awesome. I think Edward Norton will do a great job in this movie. It looks like so much more of an action film than the other Hulk movie, as long as the director doesn't take a lot of pictures of desert brush and tree stumps, I think we will be fine.

I am getting to about 4 weeks (on Monday) until the Pearl Jam concert on June 30th at the Tweeter Center. I think it's going to be a great show. I'm trying to determine how much money to bring and what exactly will I try to purchase. Hmmmm........decisions, decisions.

Well that is it for now. I'm rather tired but I stayed up long enough to type up this bad boy, I hope you enjoy what you read. PLEASE email me with posssible topics to discuss, I'm perfectly fine with some constructive criticism, so let me have it! Until next time!!!!!

But I already had a title for this?????????

Ok, this is the first blog on the new site, I'll still post the link on the old site I posted on so don't worry. This is all a huge work in progress right now, so please bear with me. I was annoyed with how the other site I used to post on wouldn't work sometimes, so I asked my friend Caiti where she posts her blogs, and she gave me this site. Thanks Caiti!!!!!

Well I was off from work last week. My birthday was on Monday and I thought I would just take the entire week off. Boy was it relaxing! I don't remember having a more relaxing vacation than the one I had last week. Do you know why it was so relaxing? Because I didn't have to travel anywhere! No stress of having to make plans and driving or flying for long hours, hoping nothing goes wrong. It was terrific!!!!!

I did go out of town one day, last Thursday 3 friends of mine and I went down to Boston. First we went to the Aquarium, got something to eat, frequented a few bars, then we split up. My other two friends went to go watch the Celtics game, while my friend John and I went to go see Lewis Black! He was hilarious! We laughed so hard, we could barely remember anything he said. With Lewis Black however, it's not really what he says, but how he says it. He has the remarkable gift of making angry sound funny.

One third of my concert tour is complete. I saw Lewis Black last Thursday, and on Monday June 30th, I'll be seeing Pearl Jam at the Tweeter Center in Mansfield, MA. I am still in the works of determining who is going with me, which is not really a big deal anyway, because I will be there to see my favorite band perform! I'll give a bum on the street my extra ticket if need be, so who knows what will happen.

I've had issues with sleeping for the past week or so. Usually I am fine with 6 hours of sleep a night. Lately I've been lucky to get 5. I have no idea what's going on, I got a bit more sleep last night, so perhaps this ugly trend is turning around. I think It had to do with my stupid sinuses, I have felt better the past few days, so maybe that means I'll start sleeping better too.

My first day back from vacation on Monday wasn't that bad. It never really hit me that bad like it usually does. I even came in early at 11am and worked a 12 hour day! The next day however was a different story. Midway through I thought it was Wednesday because I was looking forward to no overtime for the last two days of the week, when in fact I still had to work 12 hours on Wednesday because it was ONLY TUESDAY! That's when I hit the wall. Today was better though, so we'll see how the rest of the week goes.

Since I had already mentioned the Celtics, I am now convinced they will win all of their home games and absolutley zero road games during the playoffs. Of course if they do that, that means they will win the NBA finals, which is perfectly fine with me. Seriously, would it kill them to win a road game? just one? it's not a tough thing to ask for ya know?

While I'm on the topic of sports, let's talk NFL. I am really sick and tired of the Spygate scandal. Yes I know I sound biased because I'm a Pat's fan. However, I have spoken to fans of other teams too, and they all wish that this whole thing was over with. I just don't think ESPN can find anything else to chatter about, WHEN WILL THIS ALL END?????

Oh I got an IPOD for my birthday! It's an 8 GB Nano. It can apparently hold over 2000 songs. I'm up to 250 something now. I finally put all eight Pearl Jam albums on it. the only annoying thing is that because of my slow dial up connection, it took 18 minutes for me to download a song I bought through iTunes. I need high speed internet!!!!!

Well that's it for inagural edition on the new website, PLEASE let me know what you think. Any suggestions as to how I can make my blog look or even if there are any particular topics you'd like to see me discuss, feel free to send me anything like that at all. Until next time!!!!!
