Random side-note, the “Post to Blog” feature will not work for me at all. Any helpful hints?

In the car, I just can’t wait…
To pick you up on our very first date
Is it cool if I hold your hand?
Is it wrong if I think it’s lame to dance?
Do you like my stupid hair?
Would you guess that I didn’t know what to wear?
I’m just scared of what you think.
You make me nervous so I really can’t eat

Lets go… don’t wait… this nights almost over
Honest… lets make… this night last forever
Forever, and ever… lets make this last forever
Forever, and ever… lets make this last forever

When you smile, I melt inside
I’m not worthy for a minute of your time
I really wish it was only me and you
I’m jealous of everybody in the room
Please dont look at me with those eyes
Please dont hint that your capable of lies
I dread the thought of our very first kiss
A target that I’m probably gonna miss

Lets go… don’t wait… this nights almost over
Honest… lets make… this night last forever
Forever, and ever… lets make this last forever
Forever,and ever… lets make this last forever

Lets go… don’t wait… this nights almost over
Honest… lets make… this night last forever
Forever, and ever… lets make this last forever
Forever, and ever… lets make this last forever

Forever, and ever… lets make this last forever
Forever, and ever… lets make this last forever

I ran this twice (once from my library, and once from my smart playlist I always listen to), and posted the answers in the comments section. My iTunes is psychotic and scares me.

I did some more waterski tournaments, and skied ok in some of them, traveled way too far for one of them. My camera got stollen at the UCDavis tournament, that sucked. But on the bright side, I now have a very legitimate reason to hate California(ns)!

The UO Waterski Club is all approved and such, with partial funding even. Got probably 25 sign ups so far, should be a lot of fun once things get rolling, er boating, er… you get the idea.

Spent the afternoon Tuesday getting parts for my ski, my bike (including spokes– which came with spoke-nipples– which explains the title here), and being indecisive about a guitar tuner. I may need to head to GuitarWorld to check out the prices there. FWIW, I bought an electric guitar from my flatmate’s ex-girlfriend, and am taking guitar lessons this term, yay for fun.

Went to the Go Betty Go!/Voodoo Glow Skulls/Flogging Molly show last night. Go Betty Go! was excellent. I hadn’t head anything from them before the show, but I really dug their set. The only way I can think of to describe them is “all female punk band”.. and damn good at it. Who do voodoo I don’t. *shrug* The Voodoo Glow Skulls did put on a good set as well, but I’m just not a ska fan at all. Sorry guys. Then Flogging Molly came on… I’d seen them once before (at Warped Tour ’04 in Minneapolis). They have got to be one of my favorite bands to see live! But come on, Guinness in red plastic cups, wtf?!

Yesterday I could barely hold onto the rope. But the good news (sorta) is I now get a week off from waterskiing, and I can let my hands heal a bit. Also I have the opportunity to get a considerably newer ski for quite a reasonable price. There is a question I have yet to ask the owner of it though before I write a check for it.

Besides waterskiing, I’ve been trying to teach myself some guitar riffs and chords the past few days. I just need to keep on messing with it. I’ve picked up almost one riff a day, and been working on all of them to get the timing better and sounding cleaner.

It’s weird to find out people actually read this site. I often (ok maybe not so often), rant about things, or talk about things that happen in my life, but it feels kinda funny to find out who reads the site, especially the blog.

In other unrelated news (I guess I’m going for the the post most unrelated to itself today), I’ve listed my laptop for sale, and have had 2 people interested so far, but only one has made a somewhat serious offer (quite below my asking price). If I don’t get an offer of something reasonably close to what I’m asking, I may just keep it at least for the summer.

All that and my summer vacation/trip starts soon. Will be very nice to see everyone again! Well, that’s it for now.

The details have been revealed behind Rage Against The Machine’s upcoming posthumous “Live At The Grand Olympic Auditorium” release. The effort will be released on CD on November 25th through Epic, while the DVD version will follow on December 09th.

The above is from ThePRP.com

Basically this album/DVD includes 2 of RATM’s final concerts: “Live At The Grand Olympic Auditorium” and their “live performance at the Democratic National Convention 2000″

Classes are going good, and I finally got the books for ONE of them on Tuesday, still waiting on the last book… blah!
