This Is The Latest I've Been Up Since...

...my bachelor party. Which was actually just me and my groomsmen at the apartment playing video games and drink a bunch of Mountain Dew.

So why so late tonight. If your mind has gone to the gutter, then you should you should be ashamed. My darling, beautiful, and pregnant wife has been in bed since we got home from dinner with our friends. It takes a lot out of you when you're grow another person. What was I doing?

Me and Jen have a spare room the houses, for the most part, the extra junk that we've brought with us to our home. My musical things live in the guest room, as does Jen's crafty (and other assorted) things.  Lately, and frequently that particular room is a particular mess. I pull things out and play around while Jen adds to her assortment. Other than more space, that room was in much need of some organization. Hopefully I accomplished some of that. I basically just separated our things. Musical things here, and crafty-ish things there. Jen will most likely hate it. Oh well, I tried. In addition to cleaning, I also worked on a guitar, rearranged my pedalboard, and wrote a lullaby for my soon-to-be born baby.

Night has come, look where we are
I just want to say that I love you
1000 times brighter than a star
and so close I can hug you

Go to Sleep my baby
Go to sleep my baby
Close your eyes and sleep tight
You are in good arms tonight

Go to sleep my baby
Go to sleep my baby
Everything is gonna be alright
When  you close your eyes and sleep tonight

Not ground breaking or anything, but I want to write some simple lullabies and record them. When we find out if we are having a girl or boy I want to use our baby's name in the songs. I want them to have some unique and personal. I can't wait for this little kid of ours.

Its My Birthday!

B-Day quote, "Super-Size that jumbo mofo".

My dear wife got me a wii for my birthday. I've mentioned this before, but today we got it set up with netflix. Its pretty much awesome. You can watch movie online on your TV. We actually watched some of season 6 of King of the Hill. Its was pretty exciting. We watch a ton of movies at the Apt. This is mostly due to the fact that we don't have cable. Netflix is amazing and even more so now that we're aren't stuck watching movies on our tiny laptop. I recommend Netflix for anyone not wanting to get cable but still wanting to enjoy movies and even some TV shows. Not to mention the fact that you can receive movies by mail.

Now that the shameless plug is over. I'm a little nervous about going back to work tomorrow. I got into a little altercation with a "boss" and it may have long lived consequences. I'm not terribly worried, but the co-worker is rather unreasonable at times. Its a good thing she really doesn't have much authority over me.

My wife found these guys and I have to hand it to them. They are pretty cool.

Manchester Orchestra

So my friend showed me this band. It changed my life. I haven't heard the entire album, but I'm pretty sure it's amazing. I'm buying it on Itunes because of one song. "The River" in my opinion is the best track. He's folky but there is electric guitar and some pretty grungy parts mixed with some heartful lyrics and sweet melodies. Full review later. Put I'm pretty stoked about the CD.

Laters

(I've listened to most of the CD now. I can't recommend for all ages. Some lyrics may be offensive.)
