UPDATE: Coheed and Cambria at the Beaumont Club

This is just a quick update! I had a great time at the concert the show was awesome and I loved it! I'm pretty sure J had a great time too...he yelled and jumped up and down a lot!


I have won 4 tickets for the Coheed and Cambria show in Kansas City for Monday 19th. As soon as I get them I am selling two of them because well isn't it obvious - I only need two, so if anyone is interested please leave a comment with your email address. Otherwise I will be posting them on eBay asap.

Winter Blues

I have been reading my favorite blogs today and there seems to be an overall theme...Winter blues, Christmas blues, cold blues. Everyone is struggling with life right now. What has happened to Christmas and life where we dread every day...going into work, driving in the snow, and the list continues. What can we really do to overcome the stress of the holidays and the hum drum world of everyday life? I can honestly say I don't have the winter blues just yet, but I have also been spending a lot of time with my new man and he makes me laugh, so until he goes home to Texas I think that I will be pretty safe. However, I believe that I will fall into the pit that is Iowa and Nebraska SAD (Seasonal Affective Disorder) soon after he leaves. He keeps reminding me that it is warm and happy in Texas.

I met my student teachers last night - actually one of my good friends knows both of them and I have been reassured that my instincts were correct and all will go well! I am scared and excited to start. It is going to be a massive amount of work and I already feel tired all the time. I think I'm becoming lazier each year that I am alive. I feel less like changing the world and more like making my way through the isles of Wal-Mart is a major accomplishment.

Lastly, J and I had "the talk" about our plans after he leaves. He wants me to move to TX and I want him to come here. It's a tough thing that I am in no way making a decision about any time soon. I'm a pretty big sissy about these things, so I am not sure I could bring myself to walk away from everything for someone I've only known for a few months. I am taking this decision one day at a time as it seems to be my decision to make because he doesn't really have the option to transfer to Omaha. I figure I have at least 4+ months to figure this out (enter procastination of all things) because I have to complete my student teaching. Anyway I post this because I wonder if anyone has ever made a stupid decision like that and was happy that they did? GRRRR! The Universe is cruel!

P.S.
I have been getting a lot of slack lately about not writing in my blog. I have to say that I'm not the only one who has been a slacker...there are others...

Dave Matthews Band Review

I had the opportunity to go see Dave Matthews Band Live on Sunday. What an amazing show! I enjoyed every minute of it. I have never been a huge Dave fan, but enjoyed their music, so I was excited to see them live and wasn't dispappointed.

It was easy to see the real fans from those who just heard a few of their songs on the radio and thought they were cool because the real fans were totally into the music. A live Dave show has more instrumental music for lack of a better term than their music normally does.

The people watching was also fun. I love going to concerts because music brings all different types of people together to enjoy one thing. THere was the farmer guy with his wife who was really happy. The funhater couple in front of us who did nothing more than stand there with thier arms crossed because they feared they might have a little fun. The all out crazy fans a few rows down that never sat and never stopped dancing! Anyway if you get the chance to see them live and you like to hear amazing instrumental solo's you should definitly see DMB in concert!
