Park

October 24th, 2005 · No Comments

decided to blow off some steam. So Jessi and I headed over to Ned
Devine’s to meet up with her sister and BF. Since I had a mountain of
items that needed to be done, I had not planned on getting that drunk.
Of course the best [...]

The first mention of the hometown showdown. It’s been almost two years since this plan had been hatched and not even a lick of planning has gone into it. What can I say life happens.

quick hits and some flops.

October 17th, 2005 · No Comments

So in an effort to GTD, I’ve tried to decrease my listening to music with words. Well an actual singable songs I guess. So it’s mostly been jazz, nu-jazz, electro, drum&bass, downtempo and jungle.
