Pwned

Myspace is getting out of control. Everyone has it (even me). But some people are ridiculously addicted to it. Spending hours just watching their computer screen waiting for a new bulletin to be posted by one of their friends, virtual and otherwise. I only got it to be part of a radio bit, but I've been contacted by people that I went to high school with and haven't talked to or seen since then. So, if you're wanting to reconnect with days gone past (and I know some would rather firebomb their school), then check it out.
It's been 23 days since my last post. I feel like I'm in confession. Forgive me for I have sinned, it's been 23 days since my last confession. I kicked my dog. (Not really, despite what Chris and Andrew say.)
Let's see....I went to the Nickelback show. They were much better than I thought they would be. I wasn't excited about seeing them, and when they started off with a pyro bang, I thought I was in for another KISS show where it was 5% substance, 95% fireworks. I'm there for the music damnit, not a fireworks show. But, they worked it in nicely, and it wasn't dominated with the pyro. And surprisingly, they were a harder rock band than I had pegged them for. I remember having a CD of theirs sometime before the turn of century, but I hadn't been into them for a while. They even had a tribute to the Pantera guitarist that got shot down at a live show. So I'll give them a thumbs up.
Um...Bill Burr. Funny mother f'er. Like laughing hard enough to cry funny. He comes out and starts tooling on Dallas (tourist attraction is a murder scene, etc.) and it was over after that. With you New Englanders, I highly suggest checking him out. He's from Boston and is up in those areas all the time.
Aerosmith was cancelled this week. Yesterday actually. So what did I do? I put my tickets on e-bay. Don't worry, on the listing it actually says the show is cancelled, and that its not being rescheduled and that the tickets are essentially worthless. But, I got a bid. :) So we'll see.
And my birthday. Tried the new Italian restaurant in town w/mom, and it was pretty good. The bread left a lot to be desired though. Went to Dallas, played some poker, made some money, and had a pretty good time.
I have NIN to look forward to next week, and then finish off my classes for the trip to Vegas in May, and Derik's wedding in June.

Line of the Oscars

For those of you keeping score at home, Martin Scorsese, zero; Three 6 Mafia, one.
