Happy New Year!

Hope everyone had a nice holiday season! Pretty quite around here, but quite was good.
Last minute, New Year's Eve, I asked Matt if he wanted to go to San Francisco and see the fireworks. The fireworks were done by the same people who do them for KFOG Kaboom! We went and got the perfect view just south of the Ferry Building. The vibe was really good. I didn't see one fight and people weren't being all weird. After the fireworks we jumped into the crowd and walked around the city for a while.

I have a good feeling about this year. Some things are going to change. To start, I'm moving off the Ranch and into Lindsey and Kenny's. It's a downsize for sure but I'll be gaining a lot of amenities. I'm excited to have people to cook for/with. My water won't be shit and I'll be closer to my city.
It's also birthday season around here. I took Ashley to Berkeley yesterday for her 23rd. Her actual birthday was Friday and she went skydiving. She LOVED it! Lindsey's is a week from today and we are going out to dinner. My dad's is less than two weeks away and then mine is exactly two weeks away. Busy month but it will be fun!
Now I just need some good shows to go to. Anyone want to play Northern CA the weekend of the 20th?! Blake Mills will be in Napa that Friday. I would absolutely go except he is playing with Lucinda Williams and tickets are about $130 for two.
I just want to see him so bad... ;) I did enjoy this article on him though. Couldn't agree more!

Well, here's to 2012

Summertime Flies

Happy summer! Hope everyone had a great 4th! Mine was pretty good. Saw fireworks Saturday in Windsor after work. Then on Sunday I went to the river with Crystal and that whole crew. Then I went to Lindsey's and we BBQ'd and saw Santa Rosa's fireworks from some hill-top. They had a much better show than Windsor, which is understandable.

I've been working a lot. Trying to save a lot...so hard. I seriously don't know how I did it when I was younger. Granted I didn't drive or have bills...but anyways, I'm getting closer to being able to move-out. Without roommates would be the best case scenario but that is going to be so expensive. Keep your fingers crossed for me. Oh man and tonight made me want to leave Windsor all together. I went to the farmers market with Crystal, Anthony, and Matt. It was fun but Applebee's after was a little ridiculous. My entire graduating class seemed to walk through the doors. I know it's summer so a lot of people are back home but seriously, I need to get out and explore other places and other people in this world.
Things have been pretty quiet and pretty uneventful around here. I'll leave you with some new tunes worth hearing!
Music to check out:
"Cosmic Love" by Florence + The Machine -> Great vocals and I love how it goes from soft to intense.
"Hey Lover" by Blake Mills -> New album this week (Break Mirrors)! He's a quiet force of guitar skills to be reckoned with.
"Fire Away" by Dawes -> Fell in love the first time I heard it. It's has been refined a bit but at lest there is an accessible version.
