Sometimes life comes at you fast... faster than you know what to do.
Car wreck. Lose your job. Finding out someone is cheating on you.
THANKFULLY, things in my life are relatively steady and stable.
In my dating life, the turmoil I allow is what holds me back. I fall
"in Like" with a girl and lately, she inevitably lets me down.
Dating has not been easy lately. Fun in some ways, but not fully
rewarding in many others. These are the choices that define us.
Do I continue seeing her? How do I really feel about her?
What do I get out of it (short & long term)?
We makes choices on a daily basis.
Even Today, made a hard decision to stay in SD and miss my favorite
band playing a small, intimate show in the City of Angels.
WH... WH... WHAT???!!! You may ask WHY NOT go? Just wasn't feeling
it in my gut - leaving work early, relying on other people to go with,
driving to LA, waiting hours for a show, getting out late, driving home
late and not getting much sleep. I ask myself - is it about comfort?
Getting old and complacent? No longer the adventurous guy I once was?
Maybe too much of a planner and thinker now.
Will the FOO FIGHTERS be there next time I want to see them?
One can only hope.
All I can say is - no matter WHAT your choices are, make sure to live
without regrets.
Saw Chris Cornell last night - 2nd time in 2 months.
Performed his new album in the entirety along with MEGA producer Timbaland.
All I can say is.... AWESOME!!! Really looking forward to the new cd.
Went with Amy, the girl I met at the last CC show. Good times. :)

But something might have still been missing form the movie.

As most know, I love this time of year - The Fall, ROCKtober,
Hot Days, Cold Days, change in the air and the imminent return

Oh and that little thing called my Birthday. I always like to
reflect on my life and the things I value and am thankful for:
My Family
My Friends (some close like Family)
Mister Surly
The Audi (new tires and all)
My New Job
Rocking out to the Foo Fighters
Drinking Captain Morgan's at the BlueFoot
Great Food
Even better Sex

Loving my career path
Great visual media (TV!!!)
Travel, and traveling more
Watching the ponies in the summer
Drinking Mojitos at then Hotel Del
Parties at the Compound
Riding my bike through North Park
Listening to the soundtrack of my life
Seriously, What the F@#K is wrong with the Chargers??!!!
I can't take the crappy way they are playing.
Defense - get it together. Offense - Catch some balls.
Philip - Stop making bad throwing decisions. LT - Get healthy.
I can't stand to see you not run like I know you can.
If we expect to be considered along the "Elite", Act like it.
Finish a game strong. Play like winners. Even when we win
(like against the Jets) we let the other team back into it.
Withe the Colts and Pats struggling we should be DOMINATING the
AFC... Not the BILLS (are you kidding me??).
