One of life's Little Lessons

Well I was going to go to a concert last night... but I learned something instead . Most bars and concert venues have a rule. If you leave you can't come back in. So I didn't go to the show. While that does make me a little sad I did get to spend the night with my honey who doesn't doAlternative Rock shows... yet.

Have fun and Be Great!

Holiday Bazaar

Every year one of my favorite radio stations (WCYY) puts on a series of shows around Christmas time that they dub "The Holiday Bizarre". This year is the first year that I have gone to it. I must say so far I like.

On Friday they had Saving Able (one of the big names out in Rock) at the Station Night Club in Portland Maine. I went to the show and I have to say I was impressed, blown away, awestruck even. There openers were awesome as well. They were opened by a twenty year veteran a local band that has made it nation wide called Twisted Roots and an up and coming band from the south called The Becoming.

My ears rang for two days after. I was lucky to have won those tickets... but now I'm hooked and bought tickets for tonight's show. Red Jump Suit Apparatus. Another one of those names growing in the Rock scene.

Honest I am not bored or tired...

Well I enjoy learning about the evolution of mankind and having learned something new I am going to share. I just finished reading an article about yawning at Discovery.com. Yawning is a cooling process. Your brain has an optimum temperature for operating and yawning cools your brain. What's more it is also used to change gears. Say you are waking up that shot of cool air down the back of your throat is enough to help your brain change gears to full wakefulness.

Now having said that, let me tell you. When you are overtired your cooling system is not working as efficiently and your brain starts to get hot. That is what causes you to yawn when you are tired. I know what I said comes from the article but in case you didn't click the link and read it... there you go now you learned something.

Postponement

Yep, its true my girl and I have decided to postpone our wedding. It was just happening to quick with the Holidays (Maybe I should have looked before I jumped in). Six weeks was just too quick but everything is great between us .

HAve Fun and Be Great

Carpe Diem

Carpe Diem... Sieze the day. It is a horrible thing to miss an oppurtunity to do something great because of hesitation or worse because some fear holds you back and keeps you from enjoying the moment. If you have the chance to do something don't lose out by holding yourself back look first (yes look sometimes you regret it if you don't) but jump in with both feet.

I won concert ticket to Saving Able and Twisted Roots at a local venue. Unless it is cancelled due to the exciting weather we are having I am going and planning on having a great time. I won by calling the radio station WCYY and telling them why I wanted to go. If I hesitated I wouldn't have won .

Mark-a-thon

I know I am a little late with this blog. From Tuesday through Friday one of my favorite radio stations, WCYY, did what has been termed the Mark-a-thon. One of their DJs, Mark, did a fundraiser for the Center For Grieving Children. For over seventy hours straight he stayed on the air in the station and he played whatever a donor wanted as long as it didn't bring a fine to the radio station. When I say whatever the donor wanted yes I mean whatever the donor wanted. I listened to songs by Slayer, Metallica, Pink and Jonhy Cash I heard the Barbi song and my personal request Convoy on the radio during that time.



It is hard when a child loses a parent or anyone, especially around the Holidays. The Center for Grieving Children helps them. It is never to late to help go to WCYY's website or go direct to The Center's website and make a donation.
