Triumphant Returns

I can't help but be amused when I read my last blog entry. You know, the only other one on this page. The one that talks about how I'm going to follow-through and actually commit to writing stuff. Yeah, the one from last September.

Last Thursday, Brent, Julie, Aaron, and I went to see The Airborne Toxic Event at the Henry Fonda Music Box. If you aren't familiar with this band, you really need to check them out. The song that you'd most likely know is Sometime Around Midnight. Click the link, but come on back and read the rest of this, because doing anything else would just be downright rude and inconsiderate.

I got to use Inez's ticket to the concert due to her being out of town, and it was worth every penny. Not to say that I wouldn't have paid to see them - I've had their album on repeat most days in the car since Brent introduced me to the band. I really thought Brent would be a sure thing, but at the end of the night we got some Mac-Dz and then I went home. I have been miscalculating a bit in the hook-up department lately, but even still this was a surprise.

In other related news, I have been learning to play the guitar for the past month or so. With my stellar track record of following through (see number of blog posts since I "committed"), I think that most of my friends believe that I won't stick with it. I beg (and hope) to differ. I'm finding it to be an extremely gratifying experience. I notice that I have a new, deeper appreciation for the music I already love so much. I even signed up for an 8-week guitar class. Yes, Brian and class in the same sentence. And no one made me do it. Who would have thought?
