Broken Elbow
So the show last night was awesome. If you have a chance to pick up a Hives show, do it. They put on such a high energy, explosive show. My favorite person to watch was the lead guitarist. He's the skinny one on the right of their latest video if you've seen that.
Anyway, I had a blast, but I really injured my elbow on some dude's head in the mosh pit. I guess it could be worse, it could have been my head that got jacked!

Free Hives
Tonight I'm seeing The Hives in concert. The cool thing about this is that I'm seeing them for free! I was going to go yesterday after work and pick up a couple of tickets for myself and a girl I'm seeing. But on my way to work, the local radio station sponsoring the show announced that for one hour they'd be giving away tickets to anyone who could come to their offices.
Well, it just so happened that I would be driving by the station on my way to work! So I stopped and picked up a couple. Sure they would have only been $20 a piece, which is by no means an expensive show, but still, free is always better.
Its funny how something like that can shed a bright light on the rest of your day! I'll give you a full report on the show tomorrow.

Summertime and the Livin's Easy
Summer is a busy time. I know that. You know that. I am busy. You are busy. So if you're wondering why I haven't been posting, I'm just going to leave it at that.
I want to post. I have some great ideas in mind. I just lack a little motivation and time.
So I'll try to get you caught up on a few things in the next few posts.

Wear Yellow
I love Lance Armstrong! I believe in everything he stands for as a human being and a cyclist.
From the Lance Armstrong Foundation Manifesto:
We believe in life.
Your life.
And that you must not let cancer take control of it.
We believe in your right to live without pain and, if it comes to it, your right to die with dignity.
We believe in energy: channeled and fierce.
We believe in focus: getting smart and living strong.
Because we’re passionate about helping you live every minute of your life with every ounce of your being.
This is the Lance Armstrong Foundation.
Founded and inspired by one of the toughest survivors on the planet.
Live Strong.
My dad has survived non-Hodgkins Lymphoma for the last six and a half years. My dad Lives Strong.
I support Lance. I support my dad.
Get a LiveStrong wristband from any Nike store, cycling store, or from the Lance Armstrong Foundation website.

The Wisdom That is Ben Franklin
"Democracy is two wolves and a lamb voting on what to have for lunch. Liberty is a well-armed lamb contesting the vote."
"After three days men grow weary, of a wench, a guest, and weather rainy."
"Three may keep a secret, if two of them are dead."
"He that lieth down with Dogs, shall rise up with Fleas."
"The worst wheel of a cart makes the most noise."
"Keep your eyes wide open before marriage, half shut afterwards."
"Work as if you were to live a hundred years, Pray as if you were to die tomorrow."
"He that drinks fast, pays slow."
"Glass, China, and Reputation, are easily crack'd, and never well mended."
"We must all hang together, or assuredly we shall all hang separately."
"There was never a good war or a bad peace."
"Those who give up liberty for the sake of security deserve neither liberty nor security."
"He that falls in love with himself will have no rivals."
"Hide not your talents, they for use were made. What's a sundial in the shade?"
And finally, my favorite:
"Beer is proof god loves us and wants us to be happy."
Ben Franklin
