We've got the vision, now let's have some fun.

I decided to take a temporary retirement from alcohol in order to give my body a chance to fight off this vicious cold. A weekend without frequenting the bars meant I could focus on getting some important work done.




I want to be all better for my favorite night of the week: Emo Mondays at Baa Bar. Walking into the ground floor of Baa gives you the illusion that you're in another crappy pop, old house and overplayed dance music club in Liverpool. However, make the trek upstairs, and you're in a different world. All of a sudden, Cascada is replaced by The Used and 50 Cent is wiped out by Motion City Soundtrack. Alright... the music isn't that much better, but at least I know the words of the songs and people look like this... familiar surroundings. Plus, with one pound bottles of Brahma (a Brazilian version of Keystone Light), how can you go wrong?



In hopes of a speedy recovery, I burned through about two weeks worth of medicine in 48 hours. Unfortunately, businesses in England don't believe in being open on Sundays (big ups, J-man!), so I'll have to deal with Earl Gray tea and digestives to get me through the night. Everything else is going great - I'm having an absolute blast. I get to see one of my favorite bands this week ( Los Campesinos!), and Brock and I are going to plan out trips to Ireland and London within the next month.



I will have some more interesting, thought-provoking and life changing posts soon. This cold drained my motivation to write or think of anything which resembles wit. To appease those of you who feel sleighed by this sub par entry, I have pictures for you below. Also, the first four e-mailers or commenters who leave an address will receive one of the four postcards shown below. Supplies are limited, and just think of the hand-written hilarity that could be yours... don't miss your chance.


The aforementioned postcards... don't you want one?!


Heineken in Amsterdam.


Watching Liverpool FC in Amsterdam.


Canal in Amsterdam.


Amsterdam, again. I wanted to be like Paul and
take pictures in the bathroom.



Concrete suitcases. Brock and I stacked
them up because we're strong.



My all time favorite anchor besides Dan Rather.

I'm glad that my ever prominent emo myspace picture has made it onto your blog. I'm the 5th poster but I'll take what I can get. Nice video, maybe we should start Autonomous Videos that makes music videos to accompany our prosperous record label.

Miss you Danny.
