Eric and Mari's Baby Shower

Josephine and I are throwing a baby shower tonight for one of my best friends Eric and his wife Mari. She is due sometime in April. Can't wait to see him! I'll post pics from the shower soon.

RAIN: The Beatles Experience

Josephine was very thoughtful and bought a pair of tickets to go see RAIN: The Beatles Experience. It was a wonderful concert. Rain is a tribute band to the Beatles. They are awesome. I had heard them before but not a full concert. It was great to hear all my favorite Beatles songs. But there were also a lot of songs that I wish they would have played. Then again, the concert would have lasted forever if they played all the Beatles favorites! Thanks Honey for the great time. I hope you enjoyed your first concert!! It was fun watching you get all excited and nervous about it!

If they are in town and you are a Beatles fan, I would highly recommend them! After watching the pros play guitar, I realize I have a long way to go. The solo performance of "While my guitar gently weeps" was amazing.

Joining the Zune Social...

So I've been extremely happy with my 4th Gen Ipod. I've had it for a good 3 years now and it's been very reliable. But recently the battery just hasn't been holding it's charge. Time for a new MP3 player. After extensive research, I've decided to get the 2nd Generation Zune 80. The hardest part was to decide on even buying a new player since Josephine got me the iPod as an engagement present. On the back she had engraved our engagement date. I will keep the iPod in the car as a mobile music storage device.

I've put my order in for the Zune at the zuneoriginals.net site so that I can get free engraving. It will be engraved with our wedding date and "chapter II" in memory of my iPod! The choices were mainly the new iPod 80 classic or the zune 80. The iPod Touch was out of the question because of the measly 16 gigs. If it came with at least 40gigs, it would have been the hands down selection. But the Zune with it's new design, scroll pad, large screen, and wifi edged out the perennial favorite.

Guitar Hero! The Real Thing!

Josephine bought me a guitar for Christmas so I've been spending what little free time I have trying to teach myself. Not bad soo far. I'm getting a hang of the chords which are a lot harder to play than you would think!! What's cool about the guitar is that it can connect to the PC via USB so that I can record what I'm playing and modify the amp sounds it outputs.

For those of you who have played Guitar Hero, a real guitar is nothing like it! The difference is like playing basketball on an Xbox versus real life.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

It's been a while! But I would like to make a New Year's resolution! I will be posting more frequently!

I wish everybody a wonderful and productive year. Don't let this year just pass you by. Make some serious goals and stick with achieving them. Remember the feeling of a fresh start and run with it.
