In need of your help

I looked in my CD case yesterday and realized that I don't listen to 75% of the bands I own anymore. I can't stand the radio, so this is becoming a problem. Lately I've been driving around talking to myself and planning out my day. I don't like the looks I get from other drivers who realize this is what I'm doing.

I'm looking for suggestions of new bands / artists to check out. I already own Willie Nelson's entire collection, so skip him.

Rearranging the seasons

Another video by the guys who brought you Spiritual Groove. I know, two similar posts in one week, but I'm obsessed with these guys. Playing the violin has never looked so cool before.

The days of 50 degrees and raining have arrived. Soon it'll turn into 20 degrees and snowing. Do people seriously like winter? I enjoy the first snow fall as much as any other, but months and months of cold, gray, and windy weather with bare trees gets old fast. Here's my dream team of seasons:

December 1st - January 31st: Winter. Snow. Cold.

February 1st - April 30th: Spring. 70 degrees. Green.

May 1st - September 30th: Summer. Grills. Cicadas.

October 1st - November 30th: Fall. 60-70 degrees.

Makes sense, right?

Facebook

I've given up on facebook. Well, maybe that's not true. I've given up on facebook before only to bring it back a week later. I feel stronger this time, though. I can fight this addiction.

You see, as much as I used facebook... I never understood it. Facebook was simple when I first made an account. No news feed that shows you what all of your "friends" are up to at all hours, no millions of games or applications that you couldn't care less about, and none of those damn quizzes that everyone has fallen in love with. Facebook used to be all about communicating and the occasional poking.

My relationship with facebook is like an abusive relationship, without all the abusing. I'm scared that I'll come crawling back in a week or so, asking for its forgiveness. Hopefully I'll stay strong this time. If not, I'll sign* up for psychiatrist immediately.

*Random note: I can never get sing and sign right. I feel like an idiot. I always have to bust out the dictionary on my dashboard to make sure I'm using the correct one. It sounds ridiculous, and you might wonder how I made it into college, but I'm not joking.

Spiritual Groove

This has been my favorite song for 2 years strong. No other song has given me the "feeling" this song has.

I was introduced to Antoine Dufour from a friend in Montana. This song instantly takes me back to the mountains, driving up to the ski resort with my friend Jeremy, the smell of pine trees (because Montana was full of 'em), watching snow falling out of my window at night while doing homework, going on hikes on Friday nights, and cup of noodles. Lots and lots of cup of noodles.

Wedding Weekend

Just had a darn good weekend. Brother's wedding, Ohio family came into town, and Leigh was able to drop down from DC for the weekend. The wedding went extremely well, I was able to spend time with the Ohio clan, and Leigh was finally able to meet all of those crazy Ohioans.

The blog tour of Omaha didn't happen. I knowmaha = I fail. I still plan on getting that finished, but it wont have the same effect after the wedding. We were able to show family a bit of Omaha, but they still only saw a small fraction. So, I guess there is still some incentive to finish the tour for the blog after all.

I'll throw up some pictures of the wedding if I can find some.

I'm considering changing the name of my blog to "A gaggle of Sagets." I'll show you why later.
