Rush was… well, Rush, I guess. The classics were good, and the new stuff… well, not so much. I’ve never been a big Rush fan. Andy McKee was fucking incredible, and definitely worthy of a Top-5 Concert honour for me. My brother and I could literally reach out and touch him from where we were [...]

Muse was absolutely incredible. I’ve never seen a stage setup like that before, and they can rock. I was skeptical about going to this one, but it was well worth it. Highlights were Hysteria, Time Is Running Out, and Uprising. The laser and light show was so spectacular I would have loved to have sat [...]

Have you ever had an unexpected dream about meeting someone you knew of, had seen often, but never spoke to? If so, did they also lucidly say to you in your dream, complete with nervous laughter & concern: “Hey, how are you? I, uhh, can’t believe we haven’t met yet.” Were they really there? It [...]

When you’re doing something demanding, but not really getting an opportunity to flex your muscles and show what you can do, and there is nothing you can do about it, you’re bound to go through some hard patches. Eventually, you realize that this four-walled world of yours is just a temporary thing. Chances will abound [...]

Walking out off my MAT235 test last week, I thought to myself, “dude, there is no way on Earth that you answered 30% of that test correctly beyond a shadow of doubt.” And technically, after looking at my mark, I didn’t. However, this is a course filled with Life Science students, Chemistry students… in other [...]

I spoiled my excitement for tomorrow night. Yep, I read the review of the Blue Rodeo show last (Tuesday) night, and apparently it was a great show. Tomorrow should be good. I never read reviews or check setlists of previous shows of a band on the same tour. I love not knowing what the next [...]

For the first time in my life, I witnessed a band play past 11:15pm at the ACC. Not only that, GN’R didn’t take the stage until around that time. I’ve never been a huge Guns N’ Roses fan, and last night just reassured that. Too much Chinese Democracy, not enough My Michelle, too many stupid [...]

Here we go, my month-in-review, in no particular order: I didn’t see Chickenfoot since the show got pushed ahead to the day of the Tool concert. Tool won out. It was amazing but I can’t help but feel that Chickenfoot would have been more fun. My boat doesn’t leak anymore. I saved my pennies and [...]

Apparently, my boat motor is now fixed. The CM module was shot first and foremost. Upon replacing that, the motor would no longer turn over. Whatever. So we put the old box back on. Same thing. The beginnings of a miserable weekend up north. Tonight I learn that all it needed on top of that [...]

I’ve been sick from last Tuesday until today. What ailed me? My derriere had the flu (and it wasn’t the runs). I’ll leave the rest to your imagination. Anyway, I got my Chickenfoot tickets, a C-key harmonica (so I can play along with Billy in Piano Man), and that new bass guitar. My mommy celebrated [...]
