I had Tim last weekend. IT was fun, we had some stuff to do on saturday…. like move some old excercise equipment out of the basement and a love seat.. over to a co-worker of Sandi’s. Nice to have a big chunk of space open down here again. Also, we re-arranged the living room to accomodate a piano! My mom decided she did not want her piano anymore and said, take it or I’m donating it to someone… so needless to say, my sis can’t turn up the piano, so we made arrangements to get it. And wow, those arrangements are me and Sandi’s b/f. I STILL have a bruise from lifting that thing. ouch… but the living room looks cool, and stuff. That night we all went out to eat. The first time taking Tim out to a restaurant for dinner (that wasn’t like fast food). He was a great lil boy! Sunday was spring forward time. We went bowling with my dad, lisa and maddie. It was fun! Tim is getting better at bowling and hey, bowling is fun!
Monday was mosh pit time once again… always neato. The shows have been generally heavier lately. Less “nu metal” and more thrash, metalcore and death metal lately. It doesn’t hurt that there’s a lot of new stuff out there to choose from. It gets a lot harder to squeeze in stuff in 3 hours.
Tuesday, softball!! 1st Softball practice of the year. It wasn’t too bad, and with the piano and furniture moving over the weekend, I didn’t end up being too sore afterwards. The season starts a week from tuesday.
Wednesday, I got my hair cut, then I went to a movie. Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind It was a great movie. Neat concept and played very well by Jim Carrey and the VERY beautiful Kate Winslet. 
I highly recommend it!
Thursday was going to be another softball practice night, but I blew it off for some intense sheepshead playing! Jamie, a co-worker has a regular thursday sheepshead thing with a few friends that rotates, well, when they need someone I get a call, and I was available enough to help out. Didn’t hurt that Jamie needed me to work on his computer a little bit too. But it was fun, I always learn something, and I only lost like three bucks. 
Friday was just weird. My friend Cindy from CA was in town for the weekend, so I went to lunch with her and another former co-worker, and a current co-worker. Neato. Then back to work. Rumor had it that everyone was leaving at 2:30p due to Good Friday. Of course my boss only said so when I said I heard a rumor. The problem was, I’m “essential” personell on Fridays from 3-5p, as I work in Master Control. So, yeah, I left right at 5. But before that, I was going through a doorway, turned to look to see if I forgot something, and while opening the door more to turn and look, my big ass foot caught the door and BOOM, my forehead ran smack into the door! OUCH!! So, yeah, that left a red mark and a good sized bump above my left eyebrow.
After work. It was off to Milwaukee with Mike to see the Headbangers Ball Tour. Damageplan, Hatebreed, Drowning Pool and Unearth. I was supposed to be on Unearth’s guest list, and even had a phone number of someone on the tour in case of problems. “Free” concerts is a semi-perk of doing the radio show. I ask the record label to help me out, they get me on the list, or try to… and I get a free show, usually with a guest. This time, Unearth’s label could only get me on the list, no guest. Mike was set to get a ticket with one of the Rave’s “FREE ADMISSION, TWO DRINK MINIMUM” Tickets. Usually these are about 14 - 18 bucks tops, then you get two drink tickets. So, yeah, get to the point Matt…. I’m not on the list, the contact person doesn’t answer, and I’m S.O.L. Mike has only one of those “Free tickets” So while I wait for the return call, he gets his “Free ticket” for TWENTY DOLLARS. We wait outside a bit more. No call back. We found another “Free ticket” and I coughed up the 20 bucks… in what I think may be the first show (other than Dream Theater) that I’ve paid for at the Rave. Blech. If it were in Madison, I would have just gone home. I only go to so many of these shows because I don’t have to pay for them, and, of course, to check them out to see if I should play them more on the air, something to report on over the air, etc., etc., etc. Anyways…. Hatebreed stole the show, they totally owned the crowd. Drowning Pool was eh. Nu-Metal boringness. Damageplan (2 former Pantera members) was great, but they had to follow Hatebreed… which didn’t make their singer happy, as he went “i can’t hear you… it’s friday, i can’t hear you… make some noise” blah blah blah When they ripped into a couple Pantera songs though, the place just went apeshit.
Saturday. I was going to go to a show at the Annex, Atreyu, but eh. After Friday night, I was kind of “showed” out. I went to my mom’s and setup and installed her new 17″ flat panel monitor. It’s very cool. And she has a whole lot more desk space!
And let’s wrap it up with today…
I got some tickets from work for the Brewers game. I got to FINALLY take Sandi and Farrell to something. And they had a great time, and so did I. My employer has the same tickets as last year. front row of the club level on the 1st base side. Sweet seats, as you get waited on n stuff. I was hoping they would open the dome at the end of the game so they could see it, and they did! Very cool. The last foul ball of the game was hit into the front row of the section above us, and they bobbled it and it fell down right into our row, and Sandi/Farrell got the ball! Sweeet!!!!
The NHL Playoffs have begun and it looks to be yet another good set of games going down the line. I ended up in 2nd place in SportingNews fantasy hockey and 2nd from last in Yahoo. Damn that Yahoo! Blech. Maybe next year!
So, yeah, someone post a comment or something, does anyone read me anymore?
