I feel like I'm playing hooky.... But I know I'm not... I've already spent an hour jobhunting... So I'm not totally feeling like a slacker... And I'm going to do a couple more hours of it today... I'm also going to do some other stuff.... I have to go to Target and get a new charger for my Ipod and some headphones.... Evidently I've misplaced both those.... And at least its only like 10 bucks... And I'm catsitting out in Spring Branch.... At some point I also need to get my antenna on the 4Runner fixed and deposit my last check... Plus finish the cleaning I didn't finish yesterday.... And at some point I want to work out.... I'll probably end up at Memorial Park later today... Hopefully...

But late last night I was asked whats up with my music stuff... Like who the heck were these guys I talk about so much...

I couldn't really think of a decent response... I could explain why I dig each artist (that wouldn't take all night or anything) and I couldn't really tell him why I was so enthralled with my kind of music.

Here's the Cliffnotes version of it....

I first heard Pat Green because of a friend (I still remember John Wayne and Jesus was the first song I ever heard of his - how can you not love a dude that talks about his relgious experience quite so uniquely?) which led me to listening to Roger Creager and Cross Canadian Ragweed... That led me into the whole Red Dirt portion of the genre... And its just kinda snowballed from there. And thats been almost 10 years ago and I've never looked back...

I got into it because its different (much like me) and it deals with stuff more on my level... Drinking beer on the river, eating tacos after a 3 day bender, feeling like you never grow up, wishing you could stop time, having a good time with your friends, whats not to love?

I've made a bunch of friends, had many a good time (sometimes too good a time), and in general had the time of my life because of it.

Ok back to doing other stuff now.

Laters.
