Rock and Roll (or fall in my case)

Where to start. This weekend was great.

Friday night I was in Omaha and got to hang out with some of my best friends I grew up with there. It was a typical night of loud music, good conversation and a lot of alcohol. Probably too much alcohol.

On Saturday while still recovering from the night before, we decided to go see a show at the Chesterfield. The artists name is Jesse Lang and she was amazing. Her band was great as well, everyone of them could play. They played a great mix of original music and cover tunes that had the whole crowd going wild.

At the end of the night in my typical drunken blur, I happened to fall over. Not the kind of fall where your eyes go back and the body collapses. It was the kind of fall you'd see in a movie. I was standing there just fine, then the floor must have shifted (that's my story and I'm stickin too it) and I began to backpedal for probably 10 feet with a loud crash at the end. There I was, lying on my back counting ceiling tiles. Luckily there wasn't any damage done, except a small bruise on my backside. Even luckier than that there was hardly anyone around.

But seriously I do need to calm it down with the booze. I find it way to easy to end up drunk. This weekend will be a great test for me to see if I can change, to see if I can enjoy an evening out without drinking myself stupid.

Here are a few pics from the show:

The ever changing, never ending list.

I hear a lot about bucket lists. I dunno, maybe I have one. More of my 'lists' are current lists, 5 year lists, 25 year lists...but I guess they all could be bucket lists because we don't know how much time we've got at the dance. Over the past 2 years my wants have drastically changed. I've been focusing on simpler things, true things. Not reaching so much for more, just trying to enjoy what is here more. That goes for family, friends, opportunity, relationships...not material things. (Except I really really want a canoe or kayak so I can get out on the water soon) Is it possible to make a list that won't change?  Is it possible to remain true to the values of a 34 year old father, when those very values seem to have shifted based on life experiences? Are the items on my list too specific? Maybe... Love Honesty Compassion Health Fun More to come on this one I'm pretty sure.

Take us out to the ball game.

Last night we ventured over to the Explorers baseball game after dinner, it was great. Jordan talked to the X's pitching crew out in the bull-pin for a while, and they ended up giving him a ball. He's such a sports guy! The pitcher that gave him the ball said, "Can you give it a throw?" and so he did...over his head out into left field! Of course my diva Bell had more fun doing spins and drinking a slush, but that's all good. I love my family.
