Leaving straight from commencement, Perry had me convinced that it would be a good idea to go to Atlanta to see Sondre Lerche. So, 8 hours south, we had the joy of seeing mono open for Sondre.
I lost all respect for Japan. It was surely the worst band I’ve ever seen. 4 songs. They all sounded exactly alike. They all were painfully loud, and boring. That chick playing the bass needs to be fed.
Well, anyway Sondre was cool. Cool enough to drive to Atlanta for? No. But I had decided that before I left. Going on a roadtrip is always worth the effort. And then there was the short girl, “Buckner,” who, having had too much to drink, pointed up at me and said “You look like my neighbor, but you’re not.”

I had to split town again and get back to Raleigh for commencement on Saturday. No, I didn’t graduate. I was the big dork who served as a marshal for all my friends who were graduating. Congrats guys. I’m going to miss all of you that are going away. I’m hanging out here for another football season.
Well, I would say commencement was interesting. Although the AP played it down, Phil Donahue made quite an impression. Watching from the side of the stage, I was surprised to see students and faculty alike walk out by the dozens. I was not surprised by the boos and catcalls, as Donahue used a ceremony meant to honor the acchievement of these 4000 graduates to capture the spotlight and put forth his political agenda. It’s unfortunate that he can’t get a talkshow anymore.

The terrible irony is that if anything interesting is going on in my life, I don’t write about it because I’m too busy having an interesting life to sit in front of the computer and write about it.
Well, what day is it? Monday? I finished up classes last week, and having done pretty well for the semester, I went back to Williamston for a couple of days. Went to The Little Man for lunch. Let me tell you, if you’re ever in Plymouth, stop at The Little Man for a bite to eat. Much good food going on there. So then I picked strawberries with my dad. Yummm.
I dug up some manual labor with a shovel and a sledge hammer back at home and played tennis for the first time since Middle School. I don’t know why I’m sore.

In from atlanta at 6:15am, I had time for an hour nap before church. And I couldn’t sleep! Well, soon enough, I did, but not as soon as I would have liked. I fell immediately into REM and that scary dream where everybody’s laughing at me because I’m not wearing any pants. However, sleep and scary dreams is better than no sleep at all.
Buzzzzzzz
Into the shower, into shirt and tie, out the door.
Back in the door to put on pants.
And back out. I’m a greeter for the 8:15 service at Providence. “Good morning.” “Hi, good to see you.” “Sluuurrrp!” I stopped on the way to church and filled my Nalgene with Irish Creme coffee from the Gate station.
Perhaps I overdid it. Two worship services and a college bible study later, the caffiene still had me hopping. …So, out to lunch with Jesse and the girls. Then….SUPER TARGET! Well, how happy is that? Super Target is soooo cool. Well, by 4pm, I was ready to crash, and I did. I’m not going to go into how the phone kept ringing and waking me up, but I will say that for inexplicable reasons, I went to see “The Matrix: Reloaded” – again. Better the second time, perhaps because I had lower expectations. I think I’ve gotten my fix now.
That’s it. Because it’s monday, and that means there’s a new Strong Bad cartoon.

Howdy. I’m at home for a couple of days, so if you’re looking for me, I’ll be back in Raleigh Saturday.
The Matrix: Reloaded was lame. We called it a 2 hour preview for the third Matrix movie. It’s the first movie I’ve ever seen that ended with “To be continued…”
So, my suggestion is to go to whatisthematrix.com and download the trailer. If you have a fast computer, the ultra trailer should be all of the good parts of the movie, and six dollars cheaper. Maybe watch it at the dollar theatre in August just before The Matrix: Revolutions comes out.

I am not available because I am playing a computer game that takes up the whole screen.

It must be exam week.
Maybe you’ve noticed, but now you can know exactly what I’m listening to all the time. And your free bonus, you can click the song title there and listen along with me. I know you all love my music that much.

Lookit lookit! Over on the picture pages, (time to get your picture pages) I put this little viewer thing so you can kinda browse your way through the enlarged pictures. Let me know what you think.
