Ok the tickets are here!!! Just like 2 more weeks till the show and I am super excited!!! Have not seen any of these bands yet, although I hear they are awesome live. I was a bit bummed with the summer concert lineup this year, Projekt Revolution, which I have gone to like five times sucks this year, so as much as I love my Linkin Park, I will not be attending this time. Good news is that CrueFest has come into my world and I am super stoked!!! Even better news is that a friend convinced me to buy pavilion tickets rather than lawn, which means Angie is not going home all muddy!

Now if my NIN tickets would get here already….

My house is old, like 1902 old. I have done a ton of work since I moved in, painted nearly every wall, re-done the floors plus much more. I do also have a full basement. That is another story. I don’t like scary movies and going into my basement reminds me of the last scene in the Blair Witch Project. I think there are mice or rats down there, which scares me the most. I would love to fix it up someday, move the pool table down there. Someday… But until then, this is a perfect explanation:

So I was thinking the other day (scary, I know) about what I should blog about now that the Wings season is completed, the Pistons are done, and football does not start for a while. I can always bitch about random shit, but who really cares to listen to my mindless dribble? (No one) Anyways, I suppose I can find something to bitch about on a regular basis, or fun things to share. If I am entertaining myself that is all that matters right? So onto today’s bitch session…

I went out to the bar last night, same bar I generally go to every Saturday night, with the same group of people. This time was different, something was not right. I did not feel welcome in the group I was in. I asked myself why I even bother hanging around these people who are so very different than I am. Yes we always go there Saturday nights, but the tradition of the gathering should not be the only reason to go. I should want to go, want to be in that company, but I don’t. There wasn’t one thing that set me off, it was a multitude of things. I didn’t want to be there, but I didn’t drive and was not about to walk miles home, at night, through a nasty neighborhood. So I stuck it out.

Now I am faced with a decision. I am supposed to go out of town with this crew next weekend. i know it will be a good time. Its a trip to an island that pretty much has bars, restaurants and more bars. It was fun last year, besides the terrifying boat ride there. I hate boats, I don’t go on boats and I don’t eat fish. Pretty sure they talked me into riding on this boat last year and while we were there the boat company crashed two boats. Anyways, I really cannot see myself going on this trip this year, at least with this crew. If I get there and feel like I did last night there is no walking home. i am stuck there, for a full day. Yeah I do like *some* of the people that are going, but are absolutely disgusted by some of the others. I was thinking of taking a date, then I could just hang with him and ignore the bitches, but I don’t even think that would be fun. I would still be stuck with the crew all day and in the party limo on the ride there and back (like an hour each way). Something tells me bad blood plus way to many drinks (last year we lost count around 20 beers each) would make for bad news. But then again it might be fun, I don’t know. I have until Thursday to decide, so they can give a final count to the limo people. I am thinking of going with my instinct, which tells me to stay home. We will see….

UPDATE:  I have decided not to go.  I would rather stay in town, avoid the drama and spend the $200+ I would have wasted there on beer and transportation on something more worthwhile, like another dog maybe…

So this is my first time in probably 10 years working on a Mac. I admit it does take some getting used to, but once the initial shock wore off (and I made a fool of myself in one instance), I love this new computer. I mean LOVE. It has so many really cool features that I never knew I was missing, completely putting my five year old PC to shame. Mac, I think I love you.

This is good:

Now this is actually worth the $6

So it has been like five days since I have seen the Wings play, kind of going through withdrawals. I know it is going to be much worse in the off-season, but with all the weekend BBQs and such the summer will be over before I know it. I am really looking forward to football season too, Pats should be just as strong this season, after a few good draft picks. Michigan Wolverines on the other hand worry me. My boy Manningham is gone, as is Henne and even Mallet, not looking too good, but still going to support my boys either way. I am happy for Jake Long, at least he is going to Miami with Henne, although I doubt they will suck any less now.

Anyways enough ranting, stick around, I might do a trick!
