Went to a great concert this weekend. U2... probably one of the best bands ever. The show was awesome despite an uninspired opener by Dashboard Confessionals. I wish I had been warned ahead of time that they were opening so I could've went later.

The set design was awesome and the lights were enough to give you a seizure which made it even better. Bono held back from the amount of preaching I thought he would do. The only thing he did have was the articles from the universal declaration of human rights read by a little african girl which I found to be tasteful and actually pretty moving.

They played mostly newer songs like Vertigo and Beautiful Day. The songs I was most excited for were One and Pride in the Name of Love. I was hoping they would play Mysterious Ways but they didn't. They came out for two encores and in the first one Eddie Vedder came out to play with the band.

It was an awesome show I just wish I had gotten pictures.

Work has been crazy for the first little bit. I had to undergo training and it's taken up the majority of my time. Hopefully after a little while I'll have some more time to start writing on here again till then I think I'll be sleeping and going to work.

All of my spare time has been spent writing music. I'm working on some stuff of my own that I've wanted to finish up and I've been working on stuff with my new musician friends that's great... very different from what I'm used to writing. It's a lot heavier and much less acoustic based. On top of that I've finally gotten my side project I was working at on a roll. It's kind of a fusion sound of blues and jazz and acoustic metal... really different. Just me on guitar and working other tracks for drums and programming and my friend Tanner on vocal tracks... she's got an amazing voice. I'll have some good quality tracks to post soon hopefully... till then hope everyone has a good time.

I'll see you all later... I'll try to start posting on here more regularly again. Just not today... I've got to go get groceries... I don't even have any bread left. That's a tragedy for me. I love sandwiches.

Posted a new recording on my audio site. The song formerly known as Suburban Rain, now known as Picket Fences... As always it's not the greatest quality, but it'll give you a rough idea of what it should sound like.

I've found a couple of new musicians to write with so I'll be working with them on some new material and we'll be going into studio after... finally, some real recordings and equipment to work with. It'll be fun.

In other news... I am now employed. Maybe now I can settle into a normal schedule again.

Well it's been a while since I've posted anything and that's mostly because I've been focused on job hunting. It's been hard finding a job that actually meets what I'm trained to do at this time of year, but all I can do is keep looking.

I've finally found one really promising job though as an early childhood educator. It's an education program that is run through North Bay Daycare Centres over the summer. I'm really hoping to get the job but the competition is stiff. I made it through the first interview and now they want me to go through a trial run with the kids... this could be difficult since I'm more of a high school kind of person, but you take what you can get and I'm running low on funds.

Wish me luck, my trial run starts Thursday.

I've got a bunch of pictures from the barbeque in my photo album in the My Family section. I added a bunch of new pictures of me in the Pictures of Me section. And I've started a new section that I'm going to try and make an ongoing section that's called Fun with Food. So that should be real fun after I start collecting more pictures to go in there. Hope you enjoy them.

Perhaps the best mother would be mine. She is a selfless, loving individual who gives so much of herself without ever asking for anything in return. She is always there when anyone needs her and she is always ready to help without complaint or criticism. I love you mom.
