I'm a guy with three pugs who harbors disdain for many things. Welcome to your one stop shopping for all of the useless, mindless bullshit that permeates my brain at any given time.

My, My...How Time Flies...

Man, it’s been awhile since I’ve last posted…Christmas & New Years have come and gone, and we’re damn near in the middle of January already!! I’m diggin’ the unseasonably mild 50 degree temperatures, and even a wee bit of sunshine coming through the grey skies of Rochester.

The apartment is almost completely set up. Woo hoo! Now I just need to rent some storage space for all of the boxes of shit Amy and I don’t need to or feel like unpacking. Just this past weekend, Amy and I went shopping for curtains for our living room & bedroom, and let me tell you—if you’re ever bored and
looking for a real good time, then hit up Target & Bed, Bath and Beyond and spend 4 hours looking at drapery!! Everything just starts to look the same after the first 90 minutes…

It seems that every few days, there’s something else we need to buy for the new place…a steam cleaner for the carpet…a new BOSE home theatre system…a new Sirius satellite radio receiver…new towel & TP hangers for the bathroom….an espresso/cappuccino maker…a new desk for the living room…it’s been a neverending outflow of cash since Amy and I have moved back to NY. I guess I’ll by psyched when we build a house in the next couple of years, because we’ll have most of the basic shit to set up the place. So I guess we’re saving some money in the long run by spending it now.

This damn weather has me letting my winter guard down, and I keep forgetting that February and March can be a wintery bitch here in Rochester. I keep thinking spring is around the corner, and it’s not!! Pisser for me…although the thought of the summer music festival season starting around May gets me psyched!! It’s so nice to be back on the East coast, where I can partake in multi day camping festivals with 30-50 of my favorite musicians and bands playing every other weekend. I really missed that…

I’m gonna be starting my festy season early this year, as my good buddy, CrazyTigerRabbitMan, and I will be trekking to North Carolina for the Grassroots Festival, which should be a hoot. We were wanting to catch Merlefest, but started our planning too late to really make it happen proper. Then there’s the AllGood Festival…Gathering of the Vibes…moe.down…Grey Fox Bluegrass Festival…Floydfest…

Too bad Phish isn’t touring….I miss spending a week or two at a time on the road catching shows & having a blast spending every day in the lot scene. No full-on tours for me at this point in my life, but I do still enjoy getting out there for a good number of shows & fests every summer & fall. All of that great music…friends….dancing…good Vibes. That shit just charges my batteries.
