Won't Stop

The new OneRepublic album "dreaming out loud" is amazing. I've been waiting for it to come out for almost 4 years, as I've enjoyed their music on purevolume and myspace for a lonnnnng time. Their album finally came out - granted I already had about half of it from my downloads (that they offered for free on purevolume) from purevolume that are now on the album. All the same, two of my four favorite songs are new to me. "Say (All I Need)" and "Won't Stop" are awesome songs.

Listen to it.

On another note, my intramural softball team (made up of almost all my friends from work here in Orlando) won the championship on Wednesday night after going 1-4 in the regular season...we won 3 straight playoff games against some overly serious really good softball teams...it was a blast!!! I will post a picture soon when I get it on my computer so you can share in the glory. PS - your boy had 2 2-run home runs and 2 double play turns in the game at shortstop...it was a big night.

I just ate a Christmas cookie and it was good. But its still like 75 degrees here. Weird.

I finally replaced my iPod that broke about a year and a half ago, but my computer is running really slow so I think I'm going to completely reformat it and put the stuff on it that I need and then install my iPod on it.

Oh life...PS who knew that it costs over $1000 to replace the tires on my car? SO not cool!!! Not sure how I'm going to get around that one...either way I know I'm not going to be a happy camper in a few months when I need new tires.

Today

Today...

The Rockies have to wait an entire week to begin playing in the World Series...I'm just hoping they still remember how to play baseball by then!!! Haha, it's been INCREDIBLE watching them sweep everyone and their mom this last month...unbelievable. I'm so caught up in the Rox spirit.

I am trying to figure out how to create a pirate costume for Halloween out of not expensive items...I'm thinking of cutting up some black sweatpants, buying a cheap white collared shirt at Goodwill and shredding that up, getting a red sash to cut it and tie it around my head and my waist, get some plastic sword thingy, and luckily I already have the setup to throw some big cheap ghetto hoop earrings in...then all I need is some black makeup for the face and I'm golden...you think? You like?

I have a softball game tonight...it truly is one of the things I look forward to a lot every week. I have found that I am actually pretty dang good at softball and I get competitive, but then I have the greatest team b/c whether we lose 10-1 or we win 15-2, we still go out afterwards and eat and drink and laugh. I like. You like? I like.

The cable guy came for the second straight week and luckily Erica came over so I didn't have to leave work...the only channel I have trouble with is CBS in HD...and it ONLY happens on SUNDAYS...which is the only time I even watch it!!!! So if it screws up when football is on, what's the point? I think I'm going to try to get a refund...cable company is screwing me b/c they don't know how to fix it. Re-donk-u-lous.

Other than that, today is a pretty good day. Trying to decide if I want to ride my motorcycle to Daytona this weekend for Biketoberfest. If you've never heard of it, you should look it up. It's crazy. I went last year and I honestly have never seen that many motorcycles in my entire life to that point, combined.

I miss my good friends pretty regularly. I often think about how my life would be the bomb if I had the guys I really love living near me. That would be amazing.

Jimmy Eat World's new album "Chase This Light" just came out. I bought it yesterday morning and listened to it twice while I worked out and once in the car so far. It's growing on me. The last track is my favorite ("Dizzy")...if you buy it on itunes you get that last track in an acoustic version too.

Anyway, keep it real. As if you had a choice.
