Yeah, so I'm a horrible blogger.

I've got all sorts of excuses, too... road trips, conventions, all that stuff. I could bore you with them here, but instead I'll talk about something else.

I've spent the past week and a half or so sitting at my computer, working on a website for K-Psi. During my code-a-thon (what I've come to call all of this non-stop webwork), I've likely consumed dozens of sodas, countless glasses of water, and I don't even want to think about all the lunchmeat I've gone through. I've been sitting in this chair, staring at my screen, being a complete zombie for what seems like months. And yet, during all of this time, during the endless hours of computer-ness, I have not made a single entry to my blog. Until just now, I hadn't signed onto AIM in nearly as long as it's been since I made an entry in this blog.

What's my point? I don't know. But hey, this is my blog, so I can do stuff like that. Moving on...

I ordered the final Five Iron Frenzy CD last week, and it came in today. This is a fairly significant thing for me, you see, because for the past eight years or so, whenever somebody asks me "What's your favorite band?" the default answer would always be, "Why, it's Five Iron Frenzy, my good man/woman."

So after the other guy got mad at me because I couldn't tell whether he was a man or a woman, I'd run away throwing Five Iron CDs over my shoulder in hopes of spreading the word about the band. I lost some good CDs that way, but at least I escaped from the crazy shemale.

But anyway, for some reason I just can't bring myself to dive into this CD the way I have all my former purchases. I think the whole experience is tainted by the thought that they're breaking up once this tour is over, and then there won't be any more Five Iron CDs ever again. (insert violin music *here*) The music is good quality stuff, and the lyrics are as great as ever, but listening to it just ends up depressing me. Maybe it'll get better as I come to terms with the idea of no more Five Iron. Either way, I think I'm being pretty pathetic. So do with that what you will.

Farewell for now.

Listening to - See the Flames Begin to Crawl - Five Iron Frenzy
Reccomended song of the day - On Distant Shores - Five Iron Frenzy .... about halfway through the song, it just suddenly cuts into "Every New Day" off "Our Newest Album Ever." Smooth transition, and it's one of the coolest cuts I've ever heard. Definitely sweet.
