Weezer = Kickin'

It's been over a week, but i am finally processing my thoughts from the Weezer show. It was great! I'm not really how to explain the show, but what show could be bad if the first song is "my name is jonas" and the last song is "buddy holly"? they played many more great songs in between alternating the duty of singing lead between each band member. the only downer for me was that they had tom delonge (angels & airwaves) sing w/ them on "undone (the sweater song)". why Weezer, would you take such a great, classic song & hurt it by letting mr. 'i used to be in a cool band & still think i am as big, funny & popular as i was in 1999' delonge sing on this song? i was sad by this. BUT all in all i give the October 3rd, 2008 Weezer show @ the Xcel in St. Paul a hefty 2 thumbs UP!

oh, two more highlights for me were "say it ain't so" & "the greatest man that ever lived" good stuff.

i'll bring home the turkey if you bring home the bacon!

It has been one week since i saw Sigur Rós & i am still a little taken back by how simply awesome of a show they put on. However, i unfortunately had to stop listening to them yesterday so i can prepare myself for Weezer tomorrow night. I am actually pretty darn tootin' excited to see these guys again. I saw them a few years back on their "enlightenment" tour but i think this current one, their "troublemaker" tour, will be better. I know their new album, (the red album), hasn't received the best of reviews, but i like it and if tomorrow's show is anything like the show they started off this tour with, then.... then i don't know what i'll think. hopefully i'll think that it couldn't get much better! I'll let you know how it went. but just for for fun, watch this video for "pork and beans"

I must again appologize for not writing like i said i would, i've been busy. As i said, last thursday was pretty sweet & to make it a little sweeter, when the show was over i found out the Twins had beat the White Sox in extra innings to pull ahead by 1/2 a game in the AL central race.... too bad that since then, the regular season has ended, the 2 teams ended up having the exact same record and had a one game playoff in which the Twins lost 1-0 (sadness) and now the White Sox are trailing the TampaBay Rays 1 game to 0 (gladness). This past week also found Brad, Tara & myself traveling to my parent's house where we started getting some brush & wood ready for our annual bonfire. This saturday Brad & I will go back & work on our creation and then the party is on the 11th (i can't wait!).

Last night i went to a preseason Wild hockey game vs. the Buffalo Sabres. we won 3-2. i really wasn't ready for the thought of hockey quite yet, i mean, it was only October 1st... BUT after watching just 2.35 minutes, i was hooked. I like Hockey! GO WILD! (i shouldn't do this, but i'm going to) I'm predicting that the Stanley Cup is coming to Minnesota! that's right, the Wild will be CHAMPIONS!!

peace, i'm out.

I LIKE WEEZER!!

I am back and here you are!

I must first & foremost appolgize to all of my faithful readers who i have let down on a daily, possibly even an hourly, basis. The past month has been a very busy one to say the least and as i know that is a terrible excuse for not writing regularly, tough luck, that is the excuse you're getting.

So, i have left 3dudesplace (now appropiately named 2dudesplace) i have temporarily become roommates w/ my sister again, as i was back 2002, and so far it has been going great! except that i don't really have internet access, which kinda makes life different. AND you're probably asking yourself, "well, if you don't really have internet access how are you now writing on your amazing blog?" to this i answer, my sister has been gone all week so i do what i want & if that means stealing the internet access from the router in her room, well then, so be it. Ok, anyways.


Let's see, what else do i have for you? hmmm. not too much, i'll elaborate further at a later time but i spent the 1st two weekends of September in the great outdoors enjoying nature while camping in the BWCA (that's the Boundary Waters Canoe Area for those of you that don't know) w/2 groups of friends. I LOVE CAMPING!

OK, oh, you may also be wondering what the title of this entry is... are you? well, if you in fact are, it is in english at the top of this page, but do you know what language it is? I'll give just one hint; it is the language spoken by the band in the picture above. & they are playing at the Orpheum Theater in Minneapolis tomorrow (well, technically, tonight). & I will be at that show. & I have been beside myself for the past week in anticipation of this show. I actually started a little bit of hyperventalationating a couple of times today when i would here a song of theirs (which was all day) or see a video, such as THIS one.

you should check out their lastest album @ sigur-ros.co.uk for free!

ég vilja ég myndað af alls ekki verða að vinna á morgun & ég er mjög bráður fyrir Sigur Rós sameiginlega

Peace out!
P.S. it's good to be back.
