Nickleback > The Beatles?!

True story... I can't make this stuff up!

I am sitting at work when I overhear my boss say that he is going to Vegas in a few weeks. I stand up and let him know that if he isn't planning on going to Cirque du Soleil that he should. Tessia and I went to a show on our honeymoon and it was amazing!!! I then let him know that if anything, you get to hear The Beatles in surround sound, and that's just rad.

Then...

A co-worker that sits next to me laughs and tells me that the Beatles aren't any good anyway and that there is much better music than The Beatles out there. I took the bate...

Me: "What could possibly be that much better than The Beatles?"

Coworker: "Nickleback..."

Me: "..."

I didn't know what to say, I threw up inside and just froze, so then I said...

Me: "Oh yeah, Creed and Three Doors Down are pretty sweet too!!!" super sarcastic!

CW: "I love those bands, they are the best bands ever..."

I crap you not... like I said, I can't make this stuff up.

Then, I laughed, rudely... and just said that Nickleback was aweful and that we obviously were on different pages when it came to talentless 2 chord jock rock bands...

It gets better...

CW: "I like jazz too..."

Me: "Like who..."

CW: "Kenny G."

Me: "That's not even jazz... it's elevator music."

CW: "You obviously have no taste..."

Me: "I'll take my Grant Green, Nels Cline and Sam Rivers records over that junk any day."

CW: "Whoever that is."

I don't even know what to say. It's sad what people listen to... I don't care if "they enjoy it"... maybe I am an elitist, but the music business is falling apart and I now believe that most consumers are to blame. Quit buying crappy music, it isn't fair to the people that actually enjoy art to have to deal with the crap on the radio... because it's not my fault that it's there. It's yours.

Packing...

Packing is not the most glamorous part of moving... in fact, it's the worst. Boxes, boxes and more boxes, everywhere you try and walk! And it also seems that nothing is getting done, it just looks like you have added a lot of boxes to the house, but everything else is just hanging out, no furniture has been moved, no shelving taken down... no electronics unhooked (you can't pack without music!)... so everything just looks the same... with boxes.

Moving!

We are one week away from our moving day... so if anyone wants to come and help us :) feel free to call, email, comment, stop by or just show up. If you can't do any of those, just pray that we have good weather for the move and that everything goes smoothly (because we all know that nothing bad ever happens while moving!).

If you would like, you can also pray for our house hunt... our goal is this:

3 Bedrooms
2 Bathrooms
2 Car Garage
Full Basement (for the studio)
Fenced Yard for Ace!

That's that... pray that we find a home in a timely manor, not that we don't love Larry and Rhonda, we just enjoy living on our own, and they already have 3 dogs! That's all for now...

I Have Caved!!

It's official I have become so desperate to do anything but pack up my house to move that i have started a blog. We will see how this goes. I usually turn away from this type of thing seeing how i start to type and every english teachers face i had flashes before my eyes yelling corrections in my grammar and word choice but i will push on anyway. I should make a note i am a lazy writer.....as you can see some "I's" capitalized some not, rarely will punctuation happen as it should but hopefully i will get my point across whatever that may be for the day :)
so here is the WARNING: if you are a grammar freak stop reading now for risk of a brain aneurysm secondary to frustration by my writing. anyway moving on.........

As i was saying i am currently sitting on the couch staring at all of our belonging that need to move into boxes. i wont lie i am secretly hoping that for a small moment magic could exist and they would all place themselves in the boxes nice and neat ( i would even be ok if they broke into a nice song and dance number while they did it, i could go for a good sing along right now)...oh look how Disney has brain washed me :) so yes as i was saying the cary's are moving yet again, this time in with my parents so we can then buy a house and josh's grandpa can sell the house we are currently living in. so things are a changing again.

ok i think that is enough for a first post dont want to give to much up to early :) hope everyone has a great day!
