Things have been such a weird mix of good and bad lately. On one hand, I have so much to look forward to in the next few months. On the other, one area of my life in particular is rife with crumminess. Explaining it all wouldn't make much sense without being very boring, so I'll spare you. Besides, there is much positivity to focus on.One completely awesome thing was finding out my six-year-old niece Carleigh (pictured here) is really into M.I.A. Yes, M.I.A. I gave her dad a dub of Arular and Piracy Funds Terrorism a few weeks ago, and she apparently keeps stealing the discs to listen to in her room. I love it. She tells me she likes Piracy best, because of the “Walk Like an Egyptian” part. Oh, I'm so proud. I wish I could take her to the upcoming show. I'm about ready to go buy her a stereo and start making her mixtapes.
I finally booked a flight for my trip to Seattle in mid-June. It was supposed to happen a bit sooner, but I couldn't get the time off work. Oh well, the weather will probably be nicer, right? I've been getting recommendations here and there about stuff to check out. My friend John recently went out there and gave me a nice list of things. I'm gonna be there nearly a week, so I have to find plenty to do. It shouldn't be difficult, though. I'm really looking forward to this trip. Like you wouldn't believe.
Oh, and I'm DJing at Galaxy Hut for next week's (May 18) Hump Nite. It will be my fourth (?) and most likely final time doing the Hump, so please come out if you're in the area. It will be a good time, I promise. More on that later...

very cool that your niece is into your tunes. you should buy her a stereo, and later, a guitar. get that rocker started early...
sorry some things haven't been going well - i know how that goes. hopefully going to seattle will help.
congrats on the DJ night. what time will you start?
thanks. yeah, it's nothing a drastic change of lifestyle won't fix. :)
i'll DJing from about 9PM to 1:30. I'm going to post something over the weekend with the details.
Gedge is a genius, if you listen closely. Painfully brutal, those lyrics. I particularly like "My Favorite Dress" and these words: "Slowly your beauty is eaten away/
By the scent of someone else in the blanket where we lay". And that's just him getting started.
it's so nice when the younger generation is cool. Some friends of mine said that their three year old recently danced to Hatebreed. And something about saying that your kid was dancing to something called Hatebreed is just really funny. (I haven't actually listened to that band but that name just doesn't scream 3 years old, or the Wiggles or whatever.)
Hope that things improve! Congrats on your Galaxy Hut gig, that is really cool.
Thanks. DJing at the Hut is really no big deal, but I appreciate the sentiment.
