Tonight I watched Quarterlife on NBC. For the most part I really enjoyed it. It basically summed up everything I learned/should've learned in college in a 1 hour show, but we can discuss that more at a later time.

Here is what it really made me think about.

Life is all about conflict. Without it things become stale and boring, right? I mean all the movies you like, all the stories you read, and all the songs you listen too are about conflict. If there is no conflict can there be a story? can there be art? Does this mean conflict is good thing? To feel good we've had to feel bad. To know happiness we've needed to feel sad. And to feel love we need to feel loneliness. Right? I know we've all thought about this before, but the show tonight really made me think about it a little harder. And I guess overall that begs the ultimate question that I know I struggle with a lot. Can there be heaven or eternal happiness with out sadness? Can someone realize they are in a state of eternal happiness if there isn't that conflict? I'm sure there has been a lot discussed/written about this, but I really don't have time to read.

Observations/Thoughts from an Evening in Dinkytown

Dear Purple Onion (AN OPEN LETTER)

First things first you should know that I detest change. I mean, I still wear the same jeans from senior year (even though they've become tattered by the sands of time) and listen to the same tunes I've been listening to since I was 15. When you sold out and moved around the corner to the new hipster friendly location I was pretty pissed. Remember the good times we had at 10:45pm basically every week night? Yeah, those were some mondo-awesome times. I sore I'd never step foot in your new location, trying to be sheek---shame on you! But you know your sweet nectar keeps calling my soul. And you know what? You're not too bad. 

Gone are the days of smoke filled rants by smelly immigrant dudes. But here are the days of smooth mochas and electro-pop tunes. Even though I'm not a big fan of change, sometimes it is a good thing. And you, my sweet, are a fine looking cougar. You made me realize that I too have changed. I mean, my hands look like that of a 55 year old housewife. You however are beautiful.

So this is my first post since the infamous Valentines Day. Represent. 

This Valentine's Day I spent it A) working and B) Seeing the Western Fifth at the Hexagon. It was a pretty good night. I thought it was gonna be kinda sad, a little lame, kinda long.... you know an ANTI-VALENTINE'S DAY kinda thing. Now I've been on anti-Vday things before, but they were more secret dates than anything. The night turned out to be a sweet night of good friends, killer tunes, and hustling in billiards. 

here's one my dates now, while we wait outside our other dates' house

this was the Parlour Suite, they play short songs and sound cool

this is the Western Fifth, they are quickly becoming one of my favorite local bands

In light of V-DAY coming and going here are my top five love and top five break up songs:

Love Songs (or at least as close to love songs as I go):

Bright Eyes: First Day of My Life

Wiskeytown: Jacksonville City Skyline

the Format:  On Your Porch

Maria Taylor: Leap Year 

Guy Clark: Anyhow, I love You 

Breakup Songs:

the Anniversary: the Heart is Lonely Hunter

Bob Dylan: Don't Think Twice, It's Alright

Tegan and Sara: You Wouldn't Like Me

twothirtyeight: Just Dropping (A Line)

the Streets: Dry Your Eyes

This was long and boring. Sorry. 

P.S. If I was dating a girl who looked like Michelle Williams in the Baxter I wouldn't have taken her on a date to the Hex. Think about it.

In the beginning, I started blogging. Post 1:
Tonight I went to the Triple Rock to see Kid Dakota and the Small Towns’ final show. Here’s some insight to what I discovered.
-PBR is pretty decent and cheap
-I hate being cold, but I like the way people dress when its super cold
-There were too many guys that looked like girls from behind (insert high five), dudes stop looking like gals, its confusing.

-People need to be more responsible when they drink. Look I get it, its enjoyable to drink. But don’t make a fool of yourself. your 22,23, hell even 27. You just made yourself, your band, and your friends look stupid
