Love in October

The morning after is always the worst….my head is pounding. It was so bloody cold last night I thought my fingers were going to fall off. It must have been about 10 degrees or so, but with the wind chill it felt like sub-zero temps. You think that people would dress warm in weather like this, but as expected there still are the stupid party girls who dress in mini skirts walking down the street looking like they’re going to die from the cold. I never got that. Who are they trying to impress? Not me I guess. I think most guys would agree with me in that we don’t think that the girls are “hot” when they’re strutting their stuff in the cold. The reason we stare is because we’re laughing at how stupid they are. Put some damn pants on.

I went to see Fiery Furnaces at Lincoln Hall. I’ve never been to that venue and it was nice, one of the better venues in Chicago for sure. The sound was really good too (maybe a little bass heavy at times, but in general good). The band was great live so that was a pleasant surprise. The guitarist in the band was good and had a really original finger plucking guitar style. So my hat goes off to him. His sister on vocals was pretty good too, but she never smiled during the show which seemed kind of weird. Cheer up love…it’s new year’s eve! I got a noise maker at the show which was fun and I’m sure I annoyed everybody around me. One of the better parts of the night was that I didn’t have to see the ball drop on TV. I hate the ball drop…and that half-man half-cyborg Dick Clark isn’t my type either.

Do I have any new years resolutions this year? I usually don’t but this year I’ll make an exception. I’m going to stop drinking soda and cut down on sweets. I did this for a while in my life and it’s amazing how good I felt. So I’m going to see if I can return to that phase. There’s like this imaginary hump of about a month that you have to get over. After that soda and sweets don’t appeal to you anymore. Let’s see how this works out…

I’m going to go mix some music now. I’m working on a band who wants to sound like Nickelback…so yeah….gotta do my best Nickelback impression.

Cheers to the new year!
