what i want

i played this last night...it's amazing! i want one.
what with this $400 Alberta prosperity check coming, and my $80ish GST rebate check, and my ticket for going last night is worth $100 off a Yamaha bass, so...
we'll see what happens.
maybe i'll get the 5 string.

Nathan East

I went and saw this amazing bass player tonight. His name is Nathan East. He's played for EVERYONE! He started playing with Barry White, and he wrote the bass line fo Eric Clapton's Layla, and co-wrote Easy Lover with Phil Collins. He did lots of stuff with Elton John and Michael Jackson, and so many other cool people.
He was so amazing!
I want to play like him one day.

My favorite ladies of TV are back after a few months off. Desperate Housewives' season premiere was on tonight. And it did not dissapoint.
Here's to another wonderful season.
Oh, and Gray's Anatomy is shaping up nicely as well.
My 2 shows for the season.

hardest part

The morning of the day I leave is always the hardest. I mope around, putting off packing until the last possible moment. Dragging out the process.
When Mama Bean is off at school, I steal around her apartment, leaving little surprises. I like the fact that I can bring a smile to her face even though I'm no longer there.
It is a long time until Christmas...

why?

why do we concentrate so hard on exploring the stars when we haven't even mastered the seas? there is so much down there. so much history. so many tombs. so much unknown. shouldn't we learn to understand, and to save, our own planet, before heading out exploring others? how much money have we spent sending people to the moon, or on the mars probe, or on probes that were sent decades ago, and still haven't reached their destination?
this doesn't make any sense to me.

ego boosting

I love how Jo's friends are good for my ego. While sitting in a shoe store yesterday, Anne remarks "Christopher, you have big muscles." Or something to that extent. To which I reply with a thanks, and a huge grin.
We've made serious progress on our wedding blog, so hopefully we will have the new layout and design up soon. Our Wedding Blog It is kinda lame right now, but will look sharp soon.

Yay!

I get to see my Mama Bean tomorrow. I fly out in the morning, and am there for a whole week!
Christian's wedding was absolutly amazing. It was awesome being a groomsman.
I promise to update in the next couple of days. My readership dropped from 42 visits 2 weeks ago, to only 30 last week. *gasp*
I'm so excited....seeing my Jo....:)
